This article discusses several common issues reported with Iomega ZIP Drives and further troubleshooting steps to help rectify these issues. Issues covered in this article are:
- ZIP disk does not appear on the desktop.
- User hears a clicking sound when disk is inserted and the disk does not appear on the desktop.
- ZIP cartridges is not ejected far enough to remove it from the drive.
1) Question: Why will my ZIP disk icon not appear on the desktop?
Answer: This condition can be caused by many different issues. One of the following suggestions should resolve this:
Verify that the Iomega driver is not covered with a red 'X' during the startup process. Restart the computer and watch for the Iomega driver icon and verify that is not covered with a red 'X'. If the icon is covered by a red 'X', use the extensions manager and turn off all extensions except the Iomega driver. Then restart the computer, if this issue persists, the user should replace the Iomega driver extension by either dragging this extension file from the Restore CD-ROM disc that came with the Macintosh computer, or reinstalling the Mac OS.
There may be a SCSI conflict which is effecting the ZIP drive from working properly. Verify that the user has removed all external SCSI device to eliminate this as an issue. If the ZIP drive now mounts properly, you should change its SCSI ID so it will mount with the computers other SCSI devices.
The ZIP cartridge may not be fully inserted into the drive and not be seated correctly. The user should insert the disk firmly into the drive until they hear an audible 'click' sound. This indicates that the disk is fully inserted and should operate normally.
The ZIP Drive may need to be reset to properly read inserted cartridges. There are two reset options a user can try:
- Use the manual eject hole to reset the mechanism. The user should use a small straightened paper clip, insert the paper clip into the small hole which is located slightly above and to the right of the center of the ZIP Cartridge slot. This can be a little tricky since the manual eject lever is quite small. To verify that the lever is being actuated correctly, have a ZIP cartridge inserted in the drive - the cartridge should eject when pressing the lever.
- Use the eject button on the front of the ZIP drive. To access this button the plastic bezel around the drive will need to be removed. Once the cover is removed, press and hold the black button while restarting the computer. Once the computer starts to boot, let go of the button. After the computer is fully restarted, test by inserting a disk to see if this procedure resolved this issue.
Important: If you do not believe the user can remove the front bezel without damaging the computer, either refer them to a local Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for assistance, or dispatch an on site service agent to perform the reset.
2) Question: The user hears a clicking sound when a ZIP disk is inserted and the disk icon does not appear on the desktop, what is wrong?
Answer: This symptom is normal when inserting a ZIP cartridge with an earlier version of the Iomega driver software is being used. This condition can be resolved by one of the following suggestions:
Keep the disk in the drive and let it continue to 'click'. Within 2-5 minutes the user should see a dialog appear asking if they would like to initialize the disk. If the user clicks Yes, a new driver will be installed and this issue should no longer occur. Once the new driver is installed the disk will be backwards compatible with previous versions of the Iomega drivers. Important: If the user chooses to initialize the ZIP cartridge all data on that cartridge will be lost. If the data is important and not backed up the user should take the ZIP cartridge to a computer running an older version of the Iomega software and back up the data to the hard disk. After the disk is backed up they can then initialize the disk without worry of loosing data.
Another option is to download the latest Iomega Tools software which lets users update the driver software on a ZIP disk without having to initialize them.
This software can be obtain from the following location: http://www.iomega.com/support/software/mac.html. Once at this location, click on the item named 'mac503.hqx' to download the software.

- Make sure the default setting is set to, Always update the driver on the disk
- Click Save
- Click Save again
- Close the control panel
- Restart the computer
- After the computer restarts, insert the ZIP disk.
3) Question: My ZIP cartridges are not ejected far enough to remove it from the drive, what is wrong?
Answer: This issue seems to occur mainly with the Power Macintosh G3 Desktop computers. The cartridge is not ejected far enough from the front on the ZIP drive's plastic bezel and users tend to push the cartridge back into the drive slightly making it almost impossible to remove.
Iomega Zip 100 Usb Drive
Testing has shown that if you attempt to remove the cartridge by placing your finger on the bottom edge of the cartridge and push up slightly while pulling out, the cartridge can be removed almost every time. When users try to remove the cartridge by grasping the top and bottom edges at the same time is when this issue occurs. When attempting to remove the cartridge in this fashion the it tends to be pushed further back into the drive making it nearly impossible to remove.
If the troubleshooting steps above do not resolve the user's issue then the drive should be serviced. You can either refer the user to an AASP, or dispatch an on site service agent.
