PRS-T1 not mounting on M2 Mac
My Sony PRS-T1 is no longer mounting on my M2 Mac. It mounted fine when I first bought the Mac.
I have tried three different cables to no avail. I can turn on the content server in Calibre and download books that way but that is a real pain and I have to know what I want to download because it is so slow to load the pages. Any ideas? |

did not find it possible to transfer bought or lent ebooks that are in protected format .acsm on the mac to the sony reader; it would however function on the windows pc, using a combination of Adobe Digital Edition and Sony Reader for PC (which is 32bit only);
transfer acsm first to ADE, and from there open the directory to the location of the now downloaded epub, open this epub then in Sony Reader for PC, and transfer it from the software to the Sony Reader. Just plain USB cable needed, no Wifi. Tried many times the same with MacOS, it just would not function (presumably the Sony Reader for MacOS is older than the windows version, and hence the same procedure would not function). if you just want to transfer content via USB to Sony Reader, sure you can find a way, but sometimes upgrades breaks things, it has been mentioned that older USB 1.1 support is flaky in newer macs; thhink you need to take that into account. |

Can see PRS-T1 with M2 Mac
Thanks all for the responses.
Once I can see the PRS-T1 on my Mac I know how to deal with it. The problem is that it never mounts on the desktop so I can't do anything with it. Maybe I am misunderstanding something? |

Try connecting via a hub.

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried two different hubs and three different cables but eReader still will not mount on the Mac desktop.
Has anyone been able to mount the PRS-T1 on an M2 Macbook? |

would check if you have a compatible usb cable that allows also for PC detection; usb cables are different, some allow only for recharging and dont allow for data transmission; maybe you have changed the cable since you bought your mac_?
using older macs, so cant help you further. good luck! |

mchapman-
I just had the same issue as you on my new iMac, and came across your post while trying to figure it out. Swapping the cable from a USB port to a Thunderbolt port (with a lightning bolt symbol), solved it for me. I'm also using an Insignia (Best Buy brand) USB-C adapter cable. I know it's been a while since your post, but I hope this helps! |
