I bought a flash drive but I am having trouble getting it to work. When I plug it into my USB port it comes up on screen giving the following three options: 1- "There is no default application specified to open the document Autorun.inf". 2- "Unable to unarchive lauchpad.zip into /volumes/U3systems temporary directory could not be created". 3- "Open dictionary unable to read the dictionary of the application or extension because it is not scriptable".
The packaging says it is compatable with the Mac that I own, the only thing I can think of is apparently the USB port on my computer is 1.1 and not 2.0. Could this be the problem? If so, how do I solve this?
I also notice a note on the package that says U3 functionality is not supported under Mac OS (any version)
What exactly does that mean?
If anyone has a moment to give me some advice on this I would sure appreciate it. I'm not exactly a computer wizard.

* My Mac is an OS X 10.3.9 and is about 6 years old. All I really want to do is download my itunes library onto the flashdrive - do I need U3 capability for that?

*Taking it back to the store won't be so easy as I bought it on ebay. The seller is only offering me an exchange for the same item.

U3 technology is only supported on Windows Vista, not on MACs.
"apparently the USB port on my computer is 1.1 and not 2.0" that depends on which version of OS you have, how old is your MAC?
Exchange the USB device for a non-U3 one, it should be much cheaper. Call the store first, maybe they can help.

U3 technology is a virtual CD. Take it back to the store you got it from and get a different one.
