USB Devices not being detected

I have a couple of problems i've been struggling with for a while, searching the forums to no avail.
1)
Firefox's UI font sucks.
Here it is compared to Thunar:
EDIT: Fixed. I had anti aliasing Disabled in .font.conf
2)
USB devices aren't autodetected after I start X.
i.e. if i plug my mouse before logging in (shell) and starting x, it works, but if i wait till later, it doesn't.
I don't think usb drives are being detected either, but I can't figure out how to try to mount them either. I would like to have automounting of usb drives and autodetection of usb peripherals.
Thanks

  • USB Storage devices not being detected - device nodes not created?

    Hi,
    I've installed Arch Linux 64-bit on my Dell workstation, and it doesn't seem to be picking up my USB storage drives. Kernel version is 3.6.3-1.
    When I plug in a drive, I see in dmesg:
    [391147.657574] usb 1-8: new high-speed USB device number 6 using ehci_hcd
    However, I don't see anything else. There's nothing about creating device nodes, or anything like that.
    My output from `fstab -l` doesn't seem to mention anything about USB drives either, just my two system drives.

  • Is anyone using VMware fusion and having trouble with USB devices not being recognised

    I have an Terratec Axon AX50 Guitar to Midi interface. The editor software is not Lion compatible so I have attempted to run that bit in Windows 7 on a virtual machine.
    The problem is that the VM machine will not recognise the USB device, even though when it asks which machine I want to connect to it names the device correctly.
    Any Ideas ?

  • Qosmio F10 - USB devices not being recognised properly

    Hi there,
    I've been having major problems with the USB ports of my Qosmio F10. When ever I try to plug in a USB device, the F10 recognises there is something there, but always categorises it as an unknown device. For example, everytime I try to attach a USB mouse, it does not instantly recognise it, even after previously having gone into the device manager and manually installing a driver.
    This has been the case since I bought the laptop 5 months ago, but I cant ignore it any longer.
    I have already tried :
    - uninstalling all USB controller and hub drivers and reinstalling
    - making sure that power save for the usb devices was not ticked
    -ticking "install software anyway" in the driver signing options
    When I open up device manager my USB looks like this
    - Intel (R) 82801DB/DBM USB 2.0 Enhanced Controller - 24CD
    - Intel (R) 82801DB/DBM USB Universal Serial Host Controller - 24C2
    - Intel (R) 82801DB/DBM USB Universal Serial Host Controller - 24C4
    - Intel (R) 82801DB/DBM USB Universal Serial Host Controller - 24C7
    -USB Root Hub
    -USB Root Hub
    -USB Root Hub
    -USB Root Hub
    Any help on this is much appreciated as its driving me nuts :-)

    Hi
    I agree with Jack. You have suggested that the USB devices were recognized but as an unknown device. In this case the device drivers are needed.
    Which USB devices did you connect?
    Sometimes some USB devices cannot be recognised properly because of the low power of the USB ports. If the USB device needs more power than 500mA standard power the OS could has some problems with the recognition.
    In this case you need a external power supply or a USB hub with the power supply.

  • USB 3.0 devices not being detected on a Thinkpad X1 Carbon

    After every reboot or cold boot, no USB 3.0 devices are detected on my
    Thinkpad X1 Carbon Touch. (Intel Series 7 chipset)
    There is a way to get them to be detected, but it doesn't survive a reboot
    and it's ugly.
    Go into device manger and uninstall the device "Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible
    host Controller - 0100 (Microsoft)"
    The do a "Scan for hardware changes"
    Then everything is detected correctly.
    Bob Comer

    >Is it that specific driver?
    It's a driver built into Windows 10.
    >What if you try the Windows 7 driver available on Intel's website here?
    I tried that, Windows 10 wont replace it's own driver.  (Windows has
    determined that the driver software for your device is up to date.)
    >Hope that helps!
    I've been fighting it for a long time. It's downright annoying.  I can plug
    it into my USB 2.0 port and it works all the time, but a lot slower, or
    even plugging it into a USB 2.0 hub that's plugged into a USB 3.0 port
    always works too, and slightly faster than the USB 2.0 port. (but not as
    fast as USB 3.0)
    I suspect it's some kind of power management issue to do with the driver,
    devices aren't getting the power up signal so they just don't show up at
    all.  It could be a hardware difference, but the same devices just worked
    on Win8.1 and below.

  • Phatnoise Mass USB Storage Device : Not being detected anymore by my Mac...

    Basically as the title says really.
    It worked perfectly fine a few months ago and now nothing at all.
    When I plug the USB lead in it used to be recognized straight away.
    I have tried rebooting my Mac with the device already connected and that still has not solved the problem.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks

    Regardless of what problems you do or don't have, you need to have a backup. These computers are mechanical beasts and can fail at any time.
    That being said, if I was in your place I'd try going back to 10.5.6 to see if things keep working. If you have your original install discs (if the machine came with Leopard) or the Leopard disc you used to upgrade, you could try doing an Archive & Install, and once that completes, install the 10.5.6 combo update.
    If things work well there, you could just stay at 10.5.6. If you want to further test things, upgrade to 10.5.7 again and make sure you use the combo update from Apple's download page. If the 10.5.7 update breaks things again, you may want to contact the manufacturer and let them know so they can look into things.
    Hope that helps--sorry for being a bit long-winded. If you have more questions, feel free to ask!

  • Usb devices not being recognised

    hello my external devices such as my printer or edirol sound recoreder are not appearing on my desktop when i plug them in. After seeking advice i have located them in the system profiler (usb part) and it can read and recognises them. however i do not know what to do next does anyone know what to do as i have no idea and really need it to work for my uni work, please help cheers

    First welcome to the discussions.
    Most USB periperals come with either Cd or software to run them. Printers, Scanners, Cameras, and some don't.
    Each one can be a little differnt. I will use a Printer, If it is compatible.(OSX has some drivers installed to use these devices but not for all.)
    First let's start from scratch pull the power on your printer, and wait a minute or so. Plug it back in and restart your computer.Make sure the USB is plugged in when you do this, This will reset the printer and the computer.
    place the disc that came with the printer in and Install the software, as soon as you are done go to your printer manufactures site and search for the latest download for your Printer and Operating system. Download it.
    Go to your Mac HD and then Applications folder and you will see a folder that matches your printer,drag the folder you downloaded from there site to this folder and double click it inside that folder. Depending this printer folder can be named different things, such as (HP952c Printer) or set up or Install. It can also be located in the Utility folder.
    Open it and see if there is an Install option. click it and launch it.
    This may seem a little confusing, but it's not really,
    Most people have problems with one of a couple a different things.
    Either there printer isn't compatibble,
    Or they havent opend the folder in the Applications, or Utility folder to launch there printer drivers.
    After you read this it should be pretty easy for you. Come back and tell us if this helped. Don

  • Firewire device not being detected

    Hi! First time here, and hoping for some wise counsel! I have an audio control interface (M-Audio Project Mix I/O)running from my G5 via Firewire connection.
    Following a brief power interuption, during which both device and Mac were 'on', the power was immediately restored, and I had to restart the Mac, but the Project Mix came back on with the power. Since this my Mac won't detect the control interface (I've reloaded the software and tried to re-establish the link through the software but no joy).
    The M-Audio support site has a warning about permanent damage being caused to Firewire ports through 'hot-plugging' and I'm beginning to wonder if this may be the case here when the power was disrupted and then immediately restored.
    How can I tell if this has happened? And if it has, can I do anything about it?
    HELP!!!!
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can advise! Bill

    Try the ubiquitous SMU reset and see if that helps.
    This document about what to do if your computer won't recognize a FireWire device may be helpful.

    USB device not being recognized due to a malfunction
    has anyone got the error message ? is there a fix for this
    Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)

    Hi phonedrn8,
    The only think I can think of is if you don't have the right version of WMDC. The WMDC package has the USB driver bundled with it. If you're using Vista 64-bit and you use the 32-bit WMDC, this error would likely occur. To check your version of Vista, click the Start Menu, right click Comptuer, and select Properties. About 2/3 of the way down the new window, it'll tell you 32 or 64 bit.
    Then, head over to http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center.mspx#download and make sure you download the version that's correct for your system.

    I don't know vmware but with other virtual machines there is often a configuration option whether usb drives should be automatically mounted or not. Sometimes automounting also only works if the vm has the focus, i.e. is the active window.

  • My Ipod Nano 5th generation is not being detected by Widows and Itunes. I have tried everything based on the trouble shooting tips outlined. Has anyone had this situation before? How was it resolved. My Ipod is just out of warrenty

    Have done all trouble shooting tech a through Apples and still have not resolved issues on Windows and itunes not detecting my Ipod  nano 5th generation device. Tried restoring the device manually using disk mode and still not being detected by the computer. Device is our of warenty as when service repair charges are $125.00 dolars more than I paid for this device. There must be some way to restore the entire device to factor settings without having to be connected to itunes and Windows. I wish I could connect but again device is not being read. I have another Ipod that is 8GB instaed of 16GB and it works fine. The sad thing about this situation is that my 9year old daughter worked hard doing delivering fliers for a long time to save her money to buy this 16 GB 5th generation Nano. Otherwise the Ipod works well but will not syncronize songs as it is not being detected. Maybe this is a result of corrupt files that got onto my daughters Ipod somehow and thus causing it not the be detwected through the USB connection thus as a result not be understoud as a working device through Windows and itunes. If anyone can help me out there including itune techs that would be well appreciated, but for now my daughter is not able to add new or delete any songs on her ipod as well pictures, and everything. Thanks

    Try changing the cord. I could NOT get my computer to recognize my iPod 5th Gen until I read somewhere that different apple devices use different cords. I was inadvertently using my iPad cord and that caused my computer to not recognize my ipod.

  • Ipod 4g 32G not turning on, not charging (on multiple cords, both comp and wall, 4 20min), not being detected by Itunes or Windows 7 64bit OS, will not reset, tried taking it out of "DFU", NO DMG, Itunes up2date, All I'm getting is a blank black scrn

    Ipod Touch 4th generation 32G not turning on, not charging.
    I have used multiple cords on both computer USB and wall USB converters. I let it sit there for over 20 min with each attempt.
    It is not being detected by Itunes or my Windows 7 64bit OS. I have tried all 4 of my USB ports (both USB 2.0 and 3.0), with 3 different chargers.
    Holding home and power button will not reset.
    Tried taking it out of "DFU" mode but Itunes won't detect it, I didn't think that would work anyway.
    NO DAMAGE, I have been very careful with it, aside from a few minor scratches. (that you can't even see unless the light reflects them)
    My Itunes is up to date, as is my OS.
    All I'm getting is a blank black screen. It has been working fine on this computer before. I have no idea what could have happened. I'm at my wits end here.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
