Usb Hd problems [SOLVED!]

Hi guys,
I'm trying to leave the n00b status behind, and switch my distro from Ubuntu to Arch recently. I really love this distro, but the things are quite hard here. Right now I'm trying to mount a external/USB hd without sucess. This HD is working, I test it at my university, in a Debian machine.
I try a pen drive at the same usb port and it mount without problem.
Any help or advice will be appreciated. Some code follows:
lsusb before plug it:
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002
lsusb after plug it:

Bus 001 Device 012: ID 13fd:160e
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002

Guys forget about it!
I boot my machine and try to mount in Windows. And the HD does not mount!!!
So I remember that once I have a problem with "low voltage" usb ports with a cellphone. Once this HD does not have a power supply I try the back USB port and... IT WORKS!

WRT600N USB Storage Problems Solved

For a couple of years, I've been living with all the problems others have reported with the WRT600N USB storage - lost connections, permissions problems, rebooting the router to recover access to the USB drive, etc. I solved my problems, mostly, by switching to a DLink DIR-655 router. I assume other routers in the Dlink family that support USB devices will perform similarly.
My main problem seemed to be interference from the microwave, which is in an open kitchen/keeping room arrangement in my house. However, the bottom line is that any time I lost wireless connectivity to the router, due to the microwave or unknown causes, I'd lose access to the USB drive. This meant a trip upstairs to power cycle the router and the USB drive several times a day.
With the Dlink, I still sometimes lose wireless connectivity due to the microwave or unknown causes, but not as often. Sometimes, but not always, this will cause me to lose the USB drive access. If I do need to reboot the router, I can do so from the web based interface, something that was not possible with the WRT600N, so no more trips upstairs to perform this operation. I also find have a stronger wireless signal in my work location with the Dlink.
Dlink uses a SharePort software utility to manage the USB connection and this has to be installed on all PC's that want access to the USB device. SharePort makes a USB device appear to be a local device attached directly to the computer you're using and you can attach external drives/printers/probably USB hubs. (I've experimented only with an external USB drive.) Because of this, however, only one computer can attach to the USB device at a time - not a problem for me, but you need to be aware. The software has a mechanism for requesting access to the USB device from one computer, when the device is in use by another computers. You can also set it to automatically connect to the USB device if its available, to try a reconnect if connection is lost, and to automatically run a program when the USB device connects. Dlink says SharePort will support FAT or NTFS formatted drives and there's no known limitation on the drive size.
Dlink support doesn't seem much better than here - it took about three weeks for me to get an answer on the external drive size and formatting options. There are plenty of complaints on the Dlink support site about poor support, poor performance of SharePort, etc. So, all I can say is their router/USB device sharing has worked much better for me than my Linksys WRT600N ever worked.

Welcome to the WRT600N nightmare. The Storage Link is poorly documented, and the firmware controlling it has issues. Basically, it will corrupt file date/times stamps whenever you copy files onto the attached drive. It has also been known to be a bit flaky about maintaining the drive as a connected/mapped drive. Backup programs may have difficulty accessing the drive via Storage Link. Depending on the file format you use, you may encounter file size limitations on the Storage Link drive.
I, personally, gave up after a few days of these issues mentioned above and bought extra USB hard drives for each computer in the house rather than try and use the Storage Link as a NAS.
What O/S are you using on your computer? I can try and walk you through the setup.

Zen Micro USB connection problem solv

I've been having a major problem getting my Zen Micro to work with my Dell Dimension 2400 which I understand has been causing many people the same problem - I had various posts about this on the old forums.
To recap, the problem was that XP would detect the device but WMP0 would say that there was no device attached (even though it was visible in device manager) - the Zen MTP would also not recognise it's presence even though I had the plays-for-sure firmware installed.
After lots of searching I finally found a solution and here it is:
Run REGEDIT and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet, right click the key called ENUM and select "Permissions"
On my machine, I had a group called "Administrators" and "SYSTEM" but that's all. Click "Add" and add a new group called "Everyone" (just type it in and click "OK" to return).
Highlight the new "Everyone" group and in the lower box check the box marked "Read" - this will ensure that all users have read access to this registry hi've.
That's it - it worked for me and I'm delighted at being able to use the Zen properly now, hope this helps someone else.
Normal caveats apply, so please be careful if you make changes to the registry.

I did that as well. Heres what happens. I take the battery out. I then plug in the USB cable and reinsert the battery. The title screen comes up and then goes to the next screen which just says "Creative" then locks up. The battery charging icon in the upper right corner does not flash to indicate that it is actually charging. I will leave it in this state for the next hour or so to see if it does anything for the battery. I suppose if I had a seperate battery charger unit, the unit would work normally. This is just a guess as I have not yet tried it.

Yet another usb key problem [solved]

i recently purchased 2 apacer 2GB usb flash drives so i could transfer my files between computers with ease and speed. i have the computer, using udev rules, recognizing the drives as i put them in, and automounting them to a /mnt directory.
couple questions about it though
1. the drives are read only, and cannot be changed from (using chmod or chown) root
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 16384 Nov 14 11:18 usb1
how can i fix this?
[root@creech ~]# ls -l /mnt
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 16384 Nov 14 11:18 usb1
[root@creech ~]# chown spookshow /mnt/usb1
chown: changing ownership of `/mnt/usb1': Operation not permitted
[root@creech ~]# chmod 777 /mnt/usb1
[root@creech ~]# ls -l /mnt
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 16384 Nov 14 11:18 usb1
[root@creech ~]#
is this possibly because it is fat16? and if so, what format should i use to make it readable across windows and linux machines?
fdisk -l
xxxx
Disk /dev/sdi: 2063 MB, 2063597568 bytes

2. i want to create links on the desktop automatically so that i could easily access the drives when i plug them in, how can i do this?
udev rules file i created below (and by created i mean stole from the wiki)
KERNEL=="sd[h-z]", NAME="%k", SYMLINK+="usb%m", GROUP="users", OPTIONS="last_rule"

thanks in advance
solution = hal + dbus (actually running) + gnome-volume-manager + small script

broch wrote:
I have geil 2GB transfer rate 26MB/s
assuming that you are running KDE or Gnome there is no need to modify /mnt or create any extra folders. KDE and Gnome will handle removable devices automatically
conditions:
1) running dbus/hal
2) slight changes to /etc/fstab
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0
upon inserting usb key system will automatically mount it in
/media/sdbX
where X is connected device number (if you connect more than one at a time)
in case that you close window, go to system -> storage media -> your_usb_stick
3) user added to storage group
if you are using xfce or less then get ivman it is easy to configure and works very well.
hope this will help
thanks, i will try it tonight, i had no power at my house last night due to a windstorm, hopefully this will work (i would ssh to my computer from here and set it up, but i guess i forgot to turn on ssh at home )

USB Sound Problem

I'm having a problem with my Bose USB sound system that has just recently developed. The system is plugged directly into the back of my Mac Pro desktop so it's not going through any hubs or secondary systems. When I first start my computer the sound works just fine. But after about 10 to 15 minutes of use the sound stops completely - as if the sounds have been turned off. If I boot into Windows 7 using Boot Camp, the sound system there works just fine with no problems at all, so I do not believe this issue is hardware related but is something associated with OS X.
This all started recently after installing Tinker Tool and then realizing that their latest version is not compatible with Snow Leopard. I followed their directions and told Tinker Tool to restore the previous settings and then I removed it from my system. Now, I'm having this USB sound problem. I think it's highly probable to be the cause of my problem.
Is there anyway to reinstall the USB drivers in OS X without reinstalling the entire OS? Or, is there something else I can try to restore the USB function to Snow Leopard? Many thanks for any tips or suggestions.

They are plug and play.
I did try unplugging all of the USB devices and then powered off the computer and unplugged it for about 5 minutes as I heard that that sometimes solves USB problems. However, upon reconnecting the problem returned. All other USB devices seem to be working normally - it's only the Bose sound system. I tried plugging it into a different USB port in the back of the computer but the problem continued after about 10 minutes. Therefore, I am convinced this is not hardware related.
At this point I am thinking I need to reinstall OS X Snow Leopard to undo whatever Tinker Tool damaged. Is it possible to just replace the USB drivers in OS X without reinstalling everything?

"Please connect to the internet-"problem solved by the latest Muse-update

Hi staff,
I'm happy to tell you that the former problem with the error message "Please connect to the internet…" when trying to start Muse is solved now by the latest update. At that time I talked to James Boag, he assumed Muse might not recognize my USB-modem (and I should try a different access point, which I didn't) but this is not an issue any more. When I launched Muse recently, it updated automatically and then started with no problems.
Thanks for the great work you've done in that matter.

Norbert

Hi arrakis13,
I’m afraid I cannot really help you.
I did not make any changes on my running system except that I’m on 10.8 Mountain Lion (upgraded from 10.6.8., no Lion in between), but this did not change the behavior of Muse at first. Only the update, which started automatically when I launched the app on August, 21, (still the trial version) caused the difference.
My firewall is on and in the firewall-options Muse has allowance for incoming connections, see the attached screenshot (sorry, in german, but you will understand the meaning). Airport is not active and I did not change my way to connect to the internet (as James Boag from Adobe suggested earlier, see also attached mailing). It just worked.
Meanwhile I upgraded to the official version (2.0.945) and still it works.
Hope you find a solution.
Regards
Norbert

975x Platinium Power Up- Hangs with USB Flash memory- SOLVED!

Hello.
My System is:
975x Platinium Power Up
E6300
2 SATA RAID 0, 1 IDE
MSI 7900Gs
2GB Gskill
Windows XP service pack 2 with all updates
The problem that I have is when I put a Flashh Memory on any USB drive, my computer hangs. I thought that was a windows problem and I format and reinstall all again 2 times! and I have the same problem again and again (Also I tried with Windows XP and with Windows Home edition and I have the same problem with both). Also I tried another Flash memory (the first one was Dane and the second was Transcend and with both memories my computer hang). Next I tried with my USB digitall camera and also hang...... I have a mouse (genius) in one of the USB drives but works fine.
I have the last official bios 7.1. Could be a BIOS problem? becasue I remember that when I had 7.0 I didnt have this problem.
Please help me.

I remember alot of chassis usb has this pin 9 W& 10 problem with the GND.
You may want to check out the Good Articles Section for the solution to it.
GOOD! NovJoe you gave me part of the solution!!!, thanks!. The 975 Platinium Power up have a similar problem of old msi motherboards:
This is the USB pins of the USB 975 Platinium Power Up, take attention on pin 10!!! (in 9 dont have pin):
Now see the usb cable connectors that came with the motherboard:
The original usb cable connector dont use pin 10!!!!!! (also dont use 9 but the motherboard dont have any pin on 9)
If your usb chassis cable have a wire on pin 10 MAY BE ALL THE USB PORTS ON THE MOTHERBOARD WILL NOT WORK OR SOMETIMES WILL HAVE PROBLEMS!! (RANDOM PROBLEMS). The usb chassis pin 10 could be ground or Shield and muts be cut.
I dont know why engineers of MSI put a pin on 10 if it must not be use it! A lot of chassis have wires on pin 10, engineers should take off that pin like they did with pin 9 to solve a lot of future problems.
Finally problem SOLVED!

How to problem solve adf issue in the mx340 model

how to problem solve adf issue in the mx340 model

Alex,
the missing thing in your example is the fact, that if only one value is selected, the parameter has exact this value like BOSTON. If you choose more than one value, the parameter includes the *'*, so that it looks like *'BOSTON','NEW YORK'*. So you need to check in the package, if there's a *,* in the parameter or not. If yes there's more than one value, if not it's only one value or it's null.
So change your package to (you need to expand your variables)
create or replace package bip_departments_2_parameters

p_dep_2_param varchar2(1000);
p_loc_1_param varchar2(1000);

end bip_departments_2_parameters;

Lumia 620 usb disconnection problem

Hi. Am facing a problem of usb disconnection while transferring data from my laptop. It's good for 1 or 2 minutes, after that am getting device not available on my laptop.
Also I noticed the charging symbol on battery is blinking when connected to usb, but ok when connected to power cord. Is that blinking normal?
clarify please

The blinking is not normal. I haven't run across any bad USB cable problems on Nokia phones but there have been some HTC USB cables that work to charge but not fot the PC connection. If you have another similar USB cable try it. Try other PC usb ports also

After upgrade to ios 6 usb connection problems with car stereo

Hi Everyone,
after ios upgrade to ios6 i am not further able to use the iPhone 4s as music device - having usb connection problems ("not readable"). I am sure, that the upgrade ist the culprit; worked fine before. My car stereo is built in a Volvo XC 60; the device is connected via the standard usb cable by apple.
Any Ideas?

WiFi connection problem solved

My intel iMac and MBA had no problem but iPods 3g and 5g did. I had an old Netgear router connected and sitting next to my Airport Express. On a hunch I diconnected the Netgear and created a guest network to replace the one on the Netgear. PROBLEM SOLVED!
Evidently our iPods and boarder's iPhone had problems sorting out the signals and finding the right addresses. Moving the AE to a higher and slightly more central position also helped.

Same here on a Vodafone PocketWiFi 2.
Tried NetworkManager, wicd, wifi-menu but all have the same issue.
I recently installed Aptosid on another machine and it has the same problem... It also has kernel version 3.9.
All the live CDs I've tried work, even an Arch CD from May works, though a current install does not.
I have no problems connecting to another (wpa2 enterprise) network yet can't on this 3G modem.
I'm hoping this isn't a permanent issue and perhaps an update very soon will fix this.
It seems the only way to fix this for now is to use an old version of Linux. I'm currently running a virtual machine only for the purpose of Internet sharing, very annoying.

Bug fix for Mac book wireless - problem solved!

Aparantly there is a rather large number of folks out there who've discovered this dillema with wireless not working very well at this point on the Macbook.
Well, I can attest there is one very good solution out there for this issue. This application called Sonar Theater from www.sunray.tv includes a bug fix for the wireless connection issues with Macbook in their latest 1.5 release of Sonar Theater.
I downloaded it, put it into my start up folder and waalaa! problem solved. I've haven't any more issues with dropped wireless since - it's been running constantly for over 2 weeks now.
I haven't even attempted to touch my router configuration - don't need to.

Welcome to the better life of Macs. I am using Sonar Theater too and it's been working very well for me. In fact, I'm getting hooked on just texting a message to my Mac book to fire up user sessions now. I think if you give the Mac Book some time however, you'll find that there really is no comparison to PC's. Your life overall is going to just keep getting better as you dig in to the resources available to new Mac users.
I'm sure it seems confusing to PC users at first, but here's how to set up any application as part of your startup sequence. It really is extremely easy and simple compared to the PC world. Oh and by the way, in reality, Mac users refer to this as your login sequence. So, at login time, you can do a multitude of different things for each user account you might want to set up. Naturally, you can choose to share or not share applications and data between these user accounts on your Mac too....
Mac OS X 10.3 or later
1. Log in as the user who wishes to have a login item or as an admin user.
2. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
3. Choose Accounts from the View menu.
4. Click the name of the user.
5. Click the Startup Items button
6. Click the "Add {+}" button.
The item you selected will automatically open the next time you log in.
there are several ways to get good info from the apple community on tips and tricks as well. you should just try the apple os x web site...here,

happy mac-ing!
