Using pen drive from pc

I have a pen drive that I used in my windows pc, and now I am wondering how to convert the information so that my mac can read it?

Have you plugged the pen drive into the Mac yet?
Mac's can read Windows formats, just can't write to NTFS formatted drives.
Drives, partitions, formatting w/Mac's + PC's
Since the Mac can read it, the files can be transfered to the Mac.
Now it's just a matter of the format of the files themselves, and what programs can read/write to these formats.
Some developers make programs for both OS X and Windows operating systems, so it's just a matter of getting the OS X verison.
If there isn't a OS X version, perhaps it can be converted or another program used to use the file or partially in some manner so it can be recontructed.
Some file formats are universal, can be opened in nearly all programs capable. (mp3, .jpg, .text. etc)
So I guess at this point you will need to know the file formats of the files, and what OS X programs can open/use them.
This can be done by looking at the extension on the end of the file name, like myimage.jpg, or myresume.txt, or rockingold.mp3 and finding a program that will pen/use the file format.

How can I use pen drive with iPad?

how one can use pen drive in iPad?

You can use some USB flashdrives with the iPad's camera connection kit, but a lot of them require more power than is supplied to the kit, and you can only photos and videos to the iPad's Photos app with it - you can't copy other content, nor copy content off the iPad with it. Depending upon what you want to use it for you might be better off with syncing, Dropbox, emailing content, copying via your wifi network etc (depending upon the item type and what the app that you want to copy to/from supports)

You can if your cellular plan allows it. Not sure how much data you mean by "quite a bit" but be aware that doing this can use up a lot of data in a hurry depending on what it is you do.

I can't save the data from an 8753SE VNA using the driver from NI

Hi,
I'm using the labview 8.0 to control an 8753SE vector network analyzer (VNA). The VNA is supposed to be controlled using a driver from NI; however, I couldn't do that using the vi files from the driver. I'm using a GPIB cable from Agilent (http://www.home.agilent.com/agilent/product.jspx?nid=-34195.426029.00&cc=US&lc=eng) to connect the VNA to my PC. The GPIB cable is configured using Agilent IO libraries suite 15.5. Do you I need to use MAX to check if my PC is talking to my VNA? and if yes, how can I do that? If no, do you suggest any solutions to this dilemma?
Thanks in advance,
Ahmad

Ahmad,
Did you try to establish connection to the VNA using Agilents connection expert which you downloaded with the IO libraries? To use the NI drivers I'm guessing you will be using NI-VISA. (Unless the driver is really old. I don't have this hardware and haven't downloaded that driver). If you have established a connection you must enter the correct address in the VISA resource for the initialization function. Wire your error lines to an indicator so you can see if anything goes wrong. See this thread for some issues other folks fixed.
Hope this helps.
Note: you should have posted this to the Instrument Control board. This board is for NI instruments.

Have you tried running dosfsck on the device? Of course, be sure that you unmount the usb drive and verify the dev file of the relevant partition.
Something like:
dosfsck /dev/sdb1 <----replace with correct dev file!!
to see what the problem is and then
dosfsck -a /dev/sdb1
Of course, I would strongly encourage you to backup all data on the drive first.

Can i use pen drive to install boot camp on my mac?

Can i use usb pen drive to install boot camp on my mac?

No. Windows cannot boot from nor be installed on an external drive. That said, in the Windows world there are ways to put a bootable Windows installer on a flash drive. But you will have to find those on your own.

I just tried to copy a folder to a pen drive from my mac. It transferred fine. I then ejected the pen drive then pulled it out. When I pulled it out it said it had not ejected correctly despite me just Doing this. The folder is now missing from both! Help

I just copied a folder from my desktop to my pen drive. It transferred fine. I then ejected the pen drive then pulled it out. On doing so it said it had not been ejected properly!!!!! The folder is now missing from my computer and the pen drive. Pulling my hair out please help!

When youi say Eject, the RAM copy of the Directory is written back to the drive. On a pen drive, this can take several seconds.
If you get too excited and don't wait those few seconds, the directory write will be incomplete, and the drive will lose its integrity or lose files or both.

How to Extend C: Drive On PC or/and use Mac drive from the PC

I Install Boot camp on Mac book pro
the Limit for Drive C: is only 32 GB,can i extend it ?
From the mac i can see and use the PC C: Drive but i cant See and use the Mac drive from the PC,
Do you know any way to see and use it ?
Thanks,
Yariv

You weren't limited to 32GB unless you chose to do so.
HFSExplorer can read HFS+
MacDrive7 can read and write
Personally would not use FAT and just stick with NTFS.
Paragon Software has 3 products. To write to NTFS from OS X. To resize partition. Backup software for Windows.

Using System Drive from PPC G5 as Internal Storage on my new Mac Pro

Hi all,
So, bad news is my old PPC G5 finally died on me last week, after years of faithful service. Since my Apple Care Protection Plan ran out years ago, and the cost to replace the parts I need are so astronomical, I've decided that it's time for a new machine. Good news is, I ordered my new Mac Pro on Monday! Here's my question:
I installed an additional internal hard drive in my PPC G5, and I want to utilize that drive, as well as the system drive from my PPC in my Mac Pro. What is the procedure for doing this, besides physically transferring the drives? Specifically, how do I use my old 250GB system drive from my PPC as extra storage in my Mac Pro?
Any help would be appreciated, and if I'm not being entirely clear with my question, please let me know.
Thanks!

Hatter's remark about coolant leak repairs being handled out of warranty is valid, though it may be too late for you if you have already purchased your MacPro. I, for one, can vouch that Apple is being responsive to the needs of those of us that bought top of the line G5's less than 4 years ago. Your dual 2.7 should have lasted longer. My dual 2.5 began to display symptoms consistent with coolant leak problems about three months ago. Even though Apple confirmed that it was not a coolant leak they still offered do the repair on their dime because of tardiness in repair and a failure to communicate with in a timely manner with me (what was estimated at 7-10 days took a month to resolve). When they were unable to fix my machine, they offered me a brand new 2.8 8-core Mac Pro in exchange! Always call and get a case number or take the machine into the Apple store to have them determine what the real issue is before giving up your hard earned dollars.

Can I use second drive from my G5 in a Mac Pro?

Does anyone know whether I can transfer the second drive in my G5 Power Mac to an opend rive bay in a Mac Pro?
Thanks in advance
Rod

Daniel,
Rest assured your 2-3 yr old SATA drives will work. An "ATA" (EIDE or PATA) will not work. There is a tight fit, but nothing to prevent using any SATA drive.
Your G5 drives will work just fine. Drives that are newer, SATA II (3Gb/sec) will run slightly better, and the Mac Pro has support for things like NCQ.
Four drive "sleds" are included, each with the necessary screws for attaching a SATA drive. The 250GB Seagate 7200.9 drive included with the computer had SATA-only power connections, while a 80GB Maxtor SATA drive from our Power Mac G5/1.8 had both SATA and traditional power connections, but it, too, fit into the supplied sockets when the sled was pushed into place.
Serial ATA Drive Interface
The Mac Pro comes standard with one 7200 rpm, 3 Gbps Serial ATA (SATA) disk drive and three additional 3 Gbps SATA slots for adding hard disk drives. The SATA drives interface through an AHCI 1.1 controller that supports advanced SATA-II features Native Command Queuing (NCQ) and PHY power management. NCQ increases performance on random workloads by allowing the drive to re-order commands to reduce seek time and increase transactional efficiency.
In addition, the Mac Pro has two unpopulated 3 Gbps SATA buses for expansion. Looking at System Profiler, all 6 SATA busses seem to be active
For more information on SATA, see Serial ATA International Organization.
For information on the AHCI controller, see AHCI Specifications.

Using pen drive for I Pad.

Strontium Nitro iDrive 3.0 OTG Pendrive for iOS 64 GB Utility Pendrive. Please advice whether I can use this for my I pad for keeping movie ,Vedio, file , audio book etc. I am having Sony laptop loaded with window 7 , is the file can be transferred through the above pen drive.

Unless that pen drive has its own wifi hotspot you cannot use it.
There is no support for a plug in USB drive on the iPad (beyond those that get some to work and trick the iPad into thinking they're digital cameras so they can pull photos or videos off the drive)
If you want extra memory, look into wireless flash drives or hard drives. The kingston WiDrive is one, Seagate had one called the goflex. In both cases the drive makes its own little wifi hotspot that you connect your iPad to and then use an app to look at the data.

Use DVD drive from Virtual Machine

Hi! I have successfully installed Oracle VM Server and Manager Template on the same machine.
I also have created and run a Virutal Machine from the OEL 5.3 Template from Edelivery.
Now I need to use the DVD ROM drive because I need to install E-Business Suite from that VM.
How can I mount the DVD ROM so thats it usable from within a VM?

But when i open the console of the virtual machine it is not detecting the cdrom. How can it be detected??Did you even read the posts above yours? They explain exactly how to provide CD data to a guest.
Also how to open that virtual machine on some other machine or on the server??I have no idea what you mean. If you're talking about connecting to your guest over the network, you can use SSH.

Using hard drive from my damaged iBook G4 as a Web Sharing server?

I had the idea that the old hard drive which is now housed in a Pluscom enclosure could be used as a Web Sharing device if I had the right kind of connector. Is that possible?

I realised myself that this is not possible.

Using Hard Drive from Macbook in new Macbook Pro

I just upgraded from the Macbook to the new macbook Pro. I took the hard drive out from my old Macbook, which has bootcamp and VISTA on a partition and placed installed it in the new Macbook Pro.
I noticed several features, no voice, no back lit keyboard, etc., are not working as I do not think I have the drivers installed due to the way I did the hard drive install.
How do I get the needed feauteres/drivers onto the hard drive without wiping out the bootcamp partition?
Message was edited by: ehardman

OK I pulled my Macbook 320gig drive out of my Macbook. I have this with OSx and a partition with Windows VISTA and all my work programs and files.
I placed this drive in the new Macbook Pro 13inch I got today. On the windows side I reinstalled the Bootcamp drivers and it works really well.
On the OSX side however I am missing the features for the Macbook Pro which were not on the Macbook. For instance I have no sound on the OSX, no back lite keyboard and other specific items.
I would like to reinstall the OSX software, but would like to not mainly lose the Windows Bootcamp partition. Not too concerned with the OSX side as I have not added too much to it.
Is there no way to reinstall OSX from the MAcbook Pro install disk without overrighting everything on the drive?
