Ok I put in my flashdrive into my computer to put pictures on it and it worked fine. I also connected my digital camera with the USB cord to get the pictures and it also worked fine. I took out the camera and the flashdrive. I just pulled out the flashdrive and forgot to safely remove it. Now it won't work and the camera doesn't work on it either. What happened and how can I fix it?
Also, when I put the flashdrive the second time it said that the USB driver wasn't fast enough but it would continue at a normal speed.

Two things I can think of. First the computer may be confused sinced you removed two USB devices and then tried to put them back in. Not likely, but possible. If you restart the computer it should work afterward. Second, since you used two USB devices it could be conflicting the drive letters that you used thinking they were the same, you would have to plug in the drive and then go into computer management and change the drive letter it uses. I would just try restarting the computer first however, that should fix it.

When i had that problem I called the drives support, and they said to right click "my computer- select properties then hardware device manager. Then make sure there isn't a yellow dot by the usb devices indicating a conflict. If there is simply remove it from the list and reinstall

Reformat the flashdrive. Maybe it was still in the middle of transferring pictures and it was interrupted when it was pulled out immediately from the USB port.
