Can anybody offer ANY USB help please????

I'm seeing some flakey stuff with USB use. When I open the U folder to see the contents of my thumb drive I see multiple folders that aren't on my drive. For example I see, "noname1, noname2, Disk3, Disk4, Disk5". And then I can see my files if I click on noname1 or Disk3. The other files are empty or "sometimes" they show some sort of mysterious zipped file or sometimes they show nothing. Also.... sometimes, but not always, when I remove my thumb drive my files still stay there until I log out and then back in.
I'm also not presented with an icon to safely remove hardware... why is that?
These are weird flakey things that users are not going to want to see... especially novice users. They'll get quite confused. Do you have any idea why these things are happening and what I can do to stop it? I would think that I could open the U folder and see my files. When I remove it my files don't stay there.

I assume you are using VDI 3? That uses standard RDP mapping, not USB redirection and will result in stale mount points like you are seeing if not properly ejected from Solaris. If you are using 3.1 EA, then you either need to use Virtual Box as an RDP provider or install the Sun USB code for SRWC 2.2 if using the MS-RDP provider and NOT do the -r disk command with SRWC.
If 3.0, then you have two choices. 1) Completely deference the drive (i.e. close any explorer windows or programs that have files on the mapped drive open) before pulling it out or 2) Use this script to work-around stale mount points in the underlying Solaris OS. http://blogs.sun.com/danielc/entry/a_usb_drive_daemon_for1
When 3.1 comes out, we support direct mapping of USB storage with out the mapped drive so you will get all the benefits of safe ejection with out having to do the -r disk switch.

  • HP Stream 7-Windows 10 doesn't boot, I can't recovery 8.1 because can't boot from USB-HELP please!!

    Hi everybody, I'm new here!
    I am (scuse me: WAS) enjoying a Stream 7
    Some days ago I tried to install Windows 10 TP upgrading 8.1 with Bing. After some waiting time it succeeded, but unfortunately I forgave to put in the tablet's SSD the hp drivers, thinking they weren't necessary. So touchscreen, WiFi and all the other stuff didn't work. After I collegated via OTG a keyboard and a mouse I managed to use Windows 10.
    Trying to install drivers, my fault, I opened an .exe of Realtek (maybe for the audio), tablet asked to reboot and after that I cannot access to Windows anymore.
    I tried to boot Windows 8.1 from a USB, but it doesn't boot, the same even if i disable secure boot.
    With disabled bitlocker Windows gives this error
    In boot option I set these settings
    I put the usb in this way:
    The Stream doesn't consider the USB absolutely XD
    If I enable again the secure boot Windows gives this error (that at 99% is caused by the .exe I installed):
    Rebooting the Stream a couple of time with secure boot it goes in a menu (where touchscreen works) where there are a lot of options to reset Windows, but none of them works. If I try to format from this menu it asks for my account's password, but it doesn't accepts the mine :/
    If I try to open the recovery (from volume minus button when it starts) it gives this message:
    Waiting for help,
    Thank you for your patience!
    This question was solved.

    Hi everyone. I think I have found a solution to this problem. Short background story, I too tried to install Windows 10 (10049) via Windows Update but I was never successful - got stuck at around 30% for more than an hour. I tried to restore to 8.1 but it gave me that 0xc000000f error. Luckily I had made a recovery image to USB before updating to Windows 10.
    Please note that by doing this method, you will obviously lose your data.
    Here's what you'll need:
    - Recovery USB (if you don't have one, grab it from this link and I thank you that person from another post). Follow the instructions, this is just basically clean, format to FAT32, set primary and active, and then drag and drop the files and folders from the USB folder to the root USB drive. This particular recovery is from a 5701 model, there is actually no difference between Stream 7 models in terms of hardware, but software is configured differently (different language setup/format) depending on the country/region it's sold.
    - OTG cable
    - Powered USB hub
    - USB Mouse and Keyboard
    - A moment of your time
    1. Plug in the OTG cable to the tablet, and then plug in the USB hub to power and to the OTG. After that, plug in the USB mouse and keyboard and Recovery USB to the USB hub.
    2. Boot the tablet to BIOS by holding down Power + Volume Down at the same time, until you reach the Startup Menu.
    3. Press F10 and navigate to System Configuration > Boot Options. In this menu, we'll have to restore the settings to default.
    So if you have disabled Secure Boot, you first need to Clear All Secure Boot Keys and then Load HP Factory Default Keys. Then enable Secure Boot.
    Make sure UEFI Boot Order is also default to as follows: OS boot Manager, USB Diskette, USB CD/DVD, Network Adapter.
    If you did not make any changes, proceed to 4.
    4. Be prepared to go back to the Startup Menu, because as soon as you press F10 and hit Yes, the tablet will automatically restart. So press and hold the Volume Down button after you hit on Yes.
    5. Press F9 and select Boot From EFI File. If you've done the recovery image ghosting correctly onto the Recovery USB, you should see two entries. One should be RECOVERY and the other may depend (it could be SYSTEM or No label). Select RECOVERY, and then select bootmgr.efi.
    At this point the tablet will boot off from the USB and will bring you to Windows Recovery.
    6. Select your keyboard layout, and navigate to Troubleshoot > Reset your PC.
    If the drive partition/boot manager is not damaged, it will ask for a recovery key. You can actually skip this step and hide the numpad, revealing the option Skip this drive if you don't have the recovery key anymore, or just really want to start anew.
    If the drive partition/boot manager is damaged, the Reset will proceed and will ask you to select a target operating system. In my case it was Windows 8.1.
    7. The next screen will be about Reset your PC telling you what's going to happen. Tap Yes > Yes, repartition the drives > Fully clean the drive > Reset.
    The tablet will now do its thing and restore to factory default.
    After restoration, a BIOS screen will come up asking if you want to clear the TPM keys. Select Yes, and this will create a new key for the restored installation, bringing you back to a fully factory default tablet.
    Notes:
    I recommend not installing a generic Windows 8.1 ISO that is copied straight to the USB drive using the Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool or RUFUS. They won't be compressed or the same as WIMBOOT, which will take up more storage space than stock recovery.
    You could actually install another version of Windows 8.1 on the tablet, assuming you know what you are doing (ie. making a WIMBOOT image).
    You could also actually install Windows Technical Preview directly, again, assuming you know what you are doing.
    This is just a guide to help you try recover your tablet from a failed Technical Preview installation. I hold no responsiblities over your actions.
    What I recommend is that use 8.1 for now, and wait for the official release (or at least a more stable Technical Preview release for this tablet if you can't wait that long) of Windows 10.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • I am trying to find a driver to syn mini mac to Lexmark x9350. Can any body help please?

    I am trying to find a driver to syn mini mac to Lexmark x9350. Can any body help please?

    Humm... the only Lexmark X9300 download that I see is for SL 10.6...?
    Lexmark United States Support & Downloads for Lexmark X9350
    I'm not sure exactly what "component missing" means, but it sounds more like a missing driver than a missing printer part? 
    To be honest, I think your going to have to remove all previous Lexmark drivers and software from your system, temporarily connect the printer up USB and use the system updater as per the link that I posted in my first reply.
    Lexmark United States
    You might also check to see if you have a failed print job..?
    Open the Print & Fax Preferences and select Open Print Queue...
    Pause the Printer using the green button.
    Select (highlight) each of the jobs in Status and Delete them all.  
    Resume Printer using the green button and send it a new job.

  • Citrix problem - can anyone offer any advice please ?

    I'm trying to connect to work (Windows environment) with Citrix ICA Client 7.00.407. I use a VPN connection to the server which works fine, and then I try to access a Published Application through ICA client.( This is what I've been instructed to do by my IT people).
    I manage to get as far as the grey window where it says "Checking your Credentials" (which I put into the client editor beforehand) when I get a message saying that I must have Terminal Server User Access permissions to log on to this remote computer. I click OK and the Citrix client quits.
    My IT dept. have assured me that I have these Terminal Server User Access permissions. That's the point when look upon my Mac like an alien and cannot help any further.
    Can anyone offer any suggestions please ?

  • HT201263 my iphone 4 went into recovery mode & will not restore. Unknown error 21 comes up on iTunes. Please can someone offer any ideas for a solution?

    I have an iphone 4 nearly 2 yrs old. It has worked perfectly for that time. On Friday last (whilst away on holiday) I took the phone out of my pocket & it was lifeless. I tried switching it on, no joy, I tried the power/home button reset no joy. I plugged it into a mains charger & it came on but had a banner across the screen saying "verification required". I removed the charger & decided I would try again when I got home so I could connect to my PC & iTunes.
    At home I went through the whole above process again but when I plugged it into the mains again it just had the Apple logo going on/off repeatedly. I plugged the phone into my PC & the apple logo appeared followed by the "connect to iTunes". In iTunes I get the banner "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes". So I click on "OK" the "Restore" then a banner asking if I'm sure I want to restopre the iPhone appears, press "Restore & Update". iTunes starts to remove the software, veryfies it with Apple & then another flag "The iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (21) which appears to be a security issue.
    I thought the above problem was something to do with O2 because I picked up my new iPhone 4S last Tuesday but was unable to set it up until I got back from my holiday, O2 say it isn't anything they've done.
    My question is has it happened to anyone & can anybody offer a solution, is it a hardware or software issue?

    There is nothing that anyone here on a user forum can do to help you.  If it is a local issue in Syria, then you need to take it up with your phone company or authorities there who have prevented you from using VPN.

  • Help! Can anyone offer any advice re color settings?

    Hi all, I just don't know where to begin! Take a look at the screenshots attached.
    The two images look completely different. Photoshop CS5 renders the image entirely differently. I now notice that in my old copy of CS3 the image renders way closer to what I see in ACDSee AND in Lightroom. I have NEVER managed to even begin to understand this stuff. There's the monitors, the computer, Photoshop, Lightroom and ACDSee and they all have to interract with one another and... help! Is ACDSee almost accurate? How can I make CS5 look like the images I see in Lightroom and ACDSee? Should I? Then there's the printer I use online to consider. HELP! Can anyone offer any help? All the options under color settings both on CS3 and CS5 are identical and I even tried saving the ones from CS3 and loading them into CS5, just in case, to no avail.
    Can anyone offer any help? I also uploaded screenshots of the different settings in ACDSee and in CS5 and CS3 in case that helps. Is it something to do with the Proof Setup settings? They are both set to Working CMYK. Oh, my aching head!
    Thanks a lot for any help anyone can offer!
    Phil

    Thanks. I think I DO understand the basics of color management. I have attempted to callibrate my monitors many times and even paid someone to do it once all to no avail. I end up with washed out renderings which are different on each of my monitors and look NOTHING like the prints I get. All I'm trying to ascertain is why CS5 would render so entirely differently than ACDSee, Lightroom and even CS3. Even XPlorer2 agrees with everything other than CS5! And yet all the settings in CS5 SEEM to be the same as in CS3 so what else could be causing the washed out look? I'm also noticing CS5 is sometimes showing things marginally out of focus compared to other apps but I won't even get ionto that!
    Thanks, and if anyone else has any thoughts on why this would be I'd appreciate it.

    If you are OK with a DVD with a basic menu, you could try the Share>DVD option in FCP.

  • I have tried all sugestions for how to charge my ipad 2 that no longer charges, and nothing seems to work, can anyone offer any new advise?

    I have tried all sugestions for how to charge my ipad 2 that no longer charges, and nothing seems to work, can anyone offer any new advise?

    While both the iPhone and the iPad use an Apple dock cable for charging, the iPad wants a 1100 mA charger, and the iPhone charger's a 500 mA charger. USB ports on newer Apple computers can switch into 1100 mA mode, but your average computer is going to put out no more than 500 mA and, possibly, quite less (for example, an un-powered USB hub will only put out 100 mA or so, and an iPad won't charge off that). The iPad will say "not charging" if it is trickle-charging (receiving less than 1000 mA of power).
    If the problem persists when using the 1100 mA iPad charger, you need to take it to an Apple store and have it serviced or replaced. Bring the iPad charger that you received with the iPad as it may be that the charger is defective and not putting out 1100 mA.
    If the problem is that it charges slow because it's being connected to iPhone chargers or PCs or older Macs, then it's not a problem with the iPad. It's charging, it just takes a long time because you are using an under-powered charger.
