Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause / Solution
Device not recognized by iPhone/iPad.	Ensure the iDiskk Player app is installed and updated. Check if your iOS version is 9.0 or later. Ensure the Lightning connector is fully inserted and clean.
Files not playing or opening on PC (especially videos).	Some video files (e.g., HEVC from iPhone) may require specific codecs on Windows. Consider installing the HEVC Video Extensions from the Microsoft Store (may incur a small fee) or use a versatile media player like VLC Player. Ensure your PC's operating system is Win7/8/10/11 or macOS 11.0 or later.
"File too large" error during transfer.	While the drive has large capacity, there might be individual file size limitations imposed by the file system (e.g., FAT32 has a 4GB limit per file). If transferring very large video files, ensure the drive is formatted to exFAT or NTFS if used primarily with computers, or check app limitations.
Slow transfer speeds.	Ensure you are using a USB 3.0 port on your computer for optimal speeds. USB 2.0 ports will result in slower transfers. Large numbers of small files can transfer slower than a single large file of the same total size.
