my Kemper POWERHEAD does not show "External Storage"!

  • The Kemper seems to not like large capacity flash drives. I've read this in another post on here, and it solved my issue.

    I had a 64GB drive that did not work, but a 16GB worked fine.


    So, try another drive if you have one. :)

  • Had the same problem with a stick that worked always fine before. "Reboot" the Kemper and try again. If it does not work, reboot and try again. It worked for me at some point.

    Don't know what the problem was?!

  • Sometimes USB sticks have "hickups" independent of the device you plug these in. This happened to me with an USB stick that had always worked and suddenly was not accepted by my PC anymore, while it still worked with my wife's PC.


    I'm juggling with probably a dozen different USB memory sticks (different brand and different size) and remember I had once an issue with a fresh USB stick I received from another company. Some marketing material had been stored on it. I reformatted this stick on my PC with FAT32 and since then it's working.


    I hear, Apple users need to make sure to safely unmount USB sticks from their MACs. I never use this function on my Windows PC.
