Block all USB drives except ones owned by our company

We am trying to setup a policy to block all USB Drives except the ones
that are owned by the company
Under USB Connectivity Control we have the following setup
USB Devices: ENABLED
Default Device Access: DISABLED
Human Interface Devices (HID): Always ENABLE
Mass Storage Class: DISABLE
Printing Class: Always ENABLE
Scanning/Imaging (PTP): DISABLE
USB Device Access Settings
Name Access Device Summary
CompanyUSB1 ENABLE Serial Number=xxxxxxxxxxxx
up to 30 more...
BUT all USBs are able to connect, not just the ones we have defined in
the USB Device Access Settings
Can anyone let us know what we are doing wrong?

Block all ip addresses except one

I want to block all ip addresses except one from connecting to the computer. Is there a device (firewall) for the same?

Hi,
If you have an existing firewall and the traffic destined for that host is going through the firewall then naturally you can use the firewall to block the traffic. The firewall however wont be able to control the traffic between the devices in the same network.
It would seem to me though that you are probably looking for something to enable blocking connections on a certain host/PC from all but one source IP address. This would sound more like a situation where you would use some software on the host/PC itself to control the access.
Cant say much more with the provided information which was minimal.

S205 - Steps to create a bootable USB drive using One Key Recovery (OKR) for backup image.

Hi Guys,
I just got my new S205. I am wondering how to backup the Windows OS including all factory settings to a bootable USB drive using One Key Recovery (OKR) 7.0. Basically I am afriad one day, my harddrive is failed or if I want to replace harddrive, I can reimage the harddrive back to factory setting and its OS (win 7). Would you share with me on the steps to do so?
I opened the OKR software and click on "Create Recovery Disk" -> "Factory Default Setting Disk" and Next, I couldn't see my USB drive? any one knows why?
thanks in advance.
New S205 owner.

I was able to do this, but it required reconfiguration of the HDD in my S205 (320 GB hard drive).
I used the built-in Windows Disk Management tool to shrink the size of my C: drive to 56,320 MB. [To accomplish this, I had to disable hibernation, and disable the swap file on the C: drive; and then re-enabled both after the process was complete.] 56,320 MB is more than enough space for the OS and all of the programs that I have installed (including the Professional version of Microsoft Office).
I then increased the size of the D: drive to 233,614 MB.
You can use different drive sizes, of course, but the D: drive must be of adequate size for the backup image.
Once the HDD is reconfigured, you can use One Key Recovery to backup your C: drive to your D: drive. From there, it can be copied to a USB (or copied across the network, etc. ... I've done both). Yes, it is 2 steps, but it's really easy.

[ERROR] Limit all payment cards except one

Hello Experts,
When we are using Multiple Credit Card payment option, we are getting the error "Limit all payment cards except one".
There is no option/flag to mark the limit for all cards. How to get rid of this error?
And I expect the amount to be split equally across all the cards which is not happening. Is it the case that user should enter the amount manually for all the cards? What if the user enters less/more amount and try to order?
Appreciate your quick reply on this. Got stuck with this error to create orders from webshop.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Satish

Hi Satish,
Even i am getting the same error. But i am using only one card and getting this error whenever i enter an amount value. when the amount is 0 there is no error. Can you pls tell me why is this error coming. Is there a place where i need to maintain or assign any values to the card.
thanks,
Manas.

Blocking all MAC addresses except for the ones you allow

I have a Cisco Aironet 1200 Access Point. I want to block all MAC addresses from accessing the access point, except for the ones I've allowed. First I went to the Address Filters page and clicked on Allowed, then listed all the MAC address I want to be able to access the access point. Then I went to the Ethernet Advanced page, and set the Default Multicast Address Filter to Disallowed, and the Default Unicast Address Filter to Disallowed. Then I went to the AP Radio: Internal Advanced page, clicked on the Advanced Primary SSID Setup link, and set the Default Unicast Address Filter to Disallowed. Accept Authentication Type is set to Open with Shared and Network-EAP cleared, and the Require EAP check boxes are all cleared.
When using a computer whose MAC address is not listed on the Address Filters page, I am still able to connect to the network through the access point. I am also able to connect to the access point from any pc on my network by entering its IP address in Internet Explorer.
What do I need to do to block any pc without a listed MAC address from connecting to the access point?
Thanks, Jeff

Here's the instructions and URL on how to create an MAC based filter:
Follow these steps to create a MAC address filter:
Step 1 Follow the link path to the Address Filters page.
Step 2 Type a destination MAC address in the New MAC Address Filter: Dest
MAC Address field. You can type the address with colons separating the character pairs
(00:40:96:12:34:56, for example) or without any intervening characters (004096123456, for example).
Note If you plan to disallow traffic to all MAC addresses except
those you specify as allowed, put your own MAC address in the list of allowed MAC
addresses. If you plan to disallow multicast traffic, add the broadcast MAC address
(ffffffffffff) to the list of allowed addresses.
Step 3 Click Allowed to pass traffic to the MAC address or click Disallowed
to discard traffic to the MAC address.
Step 4 Click Add. The MAC address appears in the Existing MAC Address
Filters list. To remove the MAC address from the list, select it and click Remove.
Step 5 Click OK. You return automatically to the Setup page.
Step 6 Click Advanced in the AP Radio row of the Network Ports section at
the bottom of the Setup page for the radio you want to configure. The AP Radio Advanced page appears.

All USB drives mount as read only for user

I have searched a bunch and thee results I find seem to be irrelevant to my situation. Most relate to a single USB media that is a problem and won't read or write.
On a new Arch install on a new computer (my third base system install). Running Gnome.
All USB mass storage devices mount as read only for the logged in user. Root has write permissions and I can mkdir no problem. It is not an issue with the USB drive itself as this occurs with multiple USB media (I've tested several SD cards on a reader and at least two drives, all the media works correctly on my existing installations)
I'm posting the contents of my /etc/group file in case there's an obvious error there I don't see, and my dmesg output upon plugging in the drive. User name is changed in the group file posted to "archie"

I'm sure I'm just missing something in user management, but I can't find what.
Last edited by hooya (2014-04-27 03:10:49)

I am also having the same problem. Root can read and write to automounted drives, but my user cannot. I've tried with a variety of drives, I am assuming they are being automounted by root instead of the logged-in user somehow. (I am running x directly, and am not using a display manager, if that has anything to do with it).
When I look at how it is mounted it is as follows:
/dev/sdc1 on /run/media/myuser/drivename type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0022,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,showexec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro,uhelper=udisks2)

Mac Mini is disconnecting all usb drives whenever any new USB device is plugged in.

I have 10.6.7 on a Mac Mini 2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of ram and a 60 gig hard drive.
It seems that every time I plug or unplug any USB device, it disconnects all the connected USB drives. This seems to be something new, but I have not really often used the other USB ports either. It is very frustrating, as you can imagine. If I plug one drive in, and then plug another drive in, plugging the second drive it often disconnects the first one.
But it is not just drives. I can have only one drive plugged in, and unplug and replug the keyboard, and the USB drive will disconnect. Then I will get message about how I did not safely disconnect the drive.
Any help would be great.

Yes. One is a mini Toshiba USB drive with no other options for power. But even unplugging an iPhone USB cord with NO iPhone attached to it will cause the drive to drop off. The second USB drive I plugged in today had the same issues. Basically I have to unmount a drive, then plug in a second device, then remount the drive using disk utility. Very painful.

Search Results Query Text - Get all data, Exclude all list data except one

Hi Experts,
I have a situation wherein in the global search of our internal site, we have to display all results & restrict any list item except one list. Earlier we had restricted /Lists/ & People to be displayed in the results.
But in the new search results I have to display results from only one list along with other results (documents, sites, pages etc).
Below is the original query text entered in the Search Results Query Text editor
{searchboxquery} -contentclass:STS_List_Links
-filename:allitems.aspx -Path:/articles/Pages/default.aspx
-filename:DispForm.aspx -Path:/Lists/ -Path:person.aspx
I have tried various different queries with AND, OR operator. I have researched other blogs, sites over google. But unsuccessful. I am sure this is not a rare requirement. Need your expert help.
I have tried this query also...
{searchboxquery} (-filename:allitems.aspx -Path:/articles/Pages/ -Path:/Lists/ -Path:/PublishingImages/) OR
(+(+Path: /Lists/ArticleContent/ AND +filename:*.aspx) AND
-(-Path: */Lists/* OR -filename:*.aspx))

Vighnesh,
You should have success using the following:
{searchboxquery} -contentclass:STS_List_Links -filename:allitems.aspx -Path:/articles/Pages/default.aspx -Path:person.aspx ((-filename:DispForm.aspx -Path:/Lists/) OR Path:/Lists/ArticleContent/)
Two things from your original query were excluding list items from your results, your exclusion of file
DispForm.aspx and path Lists. By using "OR" in the above query, we're creating an exception to also allow items under
Lists/ArticleContent to be included in the results.

Winpe and USB drive, can one be mapped?

I am creating a reference disk in Virtualbox that is Win7 and customized with the applications I would like for a standard image. I am trying to capture the image using imagex which is being loaded from an iso file. I first tried just writing the wim file
to the VMs drive to later copy it to wherever I wanted it. I got to 90% and then it failed because of insufficient disk space. I didn't try writing the wim to a network repository because I already attempted that and the network connections are too slow, something
not in my control. Is there a way to get Winpe to recognize a USB hard drive? Alternatively is it perhaps possible to "network" the write of the wim file to a folder on the host computer? I realize this is somewhat a mixed question between MS Winpe
and Oracle Virtualbox, I so want to move to HyperV! Thanks for any help :)

Hi! Ive been using virtualbox for many years to create my image. Please make sure you install the "Guest Additions". This will enable you to insert a usb and you will have to go to devices-->usb devices and select your usb drive in WinPE mode.... This
will allow you to choose the correct drive letter using imagex.

Can a AP Extreme host a USB drive with one FAT partition and one MacOS?

Hi guys,
Hopefully a simple question that I didn't see a clear-cut answer to in the archives: can a USB drive, being hosted from an AirPort Extreme, have both a FAT partition and a MacOS Extended partition?
Thanks!

Find/borrow a 8gb or larger USB flash drive

All USB drives disconnect after upgrade and clean install of MAC OS X Mavericks

I first upgraded to Mavericks and noticed that my external USB dries would disconnect after MBP Retina Mid 2012 model was updated to Mavericks. These worked fine in all versions of Mac OS X before upgrade. So I did a clean install figured my machine would benifit from this anyway. This did NOT fix the problem.
Wouldn't be much of an issue but I use this macine as a media server with Plex and all the media is in one of the external USB 3.0 drives. All drives are from Seagate, and have found no info there. Guessing this is a bug that Apple needs to fix unless its a Seagate issue which I doubt.
My TEMP FIX while my machine is plugged in to the power adapter and drives.

If the tracks are recognized by your iPod (playable), search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your Mac.
If they're just on your iPod as data, then I'm not certain since I don't use a custom hierarchy, but you should be able to copy the folder back to your iTunes Music folder, turn off the "copy to iTunes library when adding to library" preference, and then use the Add To LIbrary command to get them recognized by iTunes. Again, though, I don't use a custom hierarchy, so you might want to ask that question as a new post, just to get additional opinions.
BTW, an iPod is not a reliable backup for your tracks. Too many situations can arise that would cause your iPod to need to be erased. I strongly recommend that you make backups, particularly of any tracks purchased from the iTunes Music Store or that would otherwise be difficult to replace, to CD, DVD, external hard drive, or other medium.

Macbook does not recognize external USB drive - except when booting with CD

Hi all,
I recently swapped my Macbook's internal HD (Toshiba 100gb 5400 rpm) into an external USB enclosure (Eagle Consus). The computer does not recognize the external HD, even when using two USB cables for extra power. No luck with safe mode or resetting PRAM. Disk utility just hangs with spinning wheel if I start it. Switching the USB ports does not help.
I thought it might be a power problem until I noted the following:
1)The external drive works fine if I boot the Macbook from the Mac OS install CD... with this I can run disk utility and scan the drive with no problem
2)It works fine on an old Mac Mini with only ONE of the USB connectors plugged in
3)The enclosure worked fine on the Macbook when I had the new drive in it (320 GB 7200 RPM) while copying the files over
Any thoughts?
Many thanks,
--T

It is actually using a power supply, yet it will not actually power on unless it is connected to a computer's USB port. At least this is how it works on my old desktop running Windows 2000. When you disconnect the drive from Windows, or put the machine in hibernate mode, the device actually shuts down. It powers back up once the machine wakes up from hibernate mode.
It's a somewhat older device which predates the Macbook Pro, but it claims to support older Mac, such as the G3, G4, G5, iMac, iBook. OSX 10.0.4. So perhaps it's just too old?
It's a Buffalo HD-HB250U2 (250 GB).
So you're in Japan too?

Finder doesn't see USB drive - Another one!

I shall describe the situation:
400GB SATA HDD in triple interface enclosure. Drive partitioned into six volumes.
This drive mounts and runs fine on a brand-new MacMini (OS 10.5), a 3 year old PowerBook (OS 10.4.11), a 7 year old TiBook 667 (OS 10.3.9), and a PowerBook G3 500 'Bronze' (first FireWire, OS 10.2.8).
But on my MacBook Pro, Finder doesn't see it.
Every other program on my MacBookPro that I can run sees this drive: DiskUtility, USB Probe, TechTool, Disk Warrior, all say everything is fine, and the disk IS mounted.
Finder doesn't see it, not on the desktop, not in a Finder window, not in any open/close dialogue boxes.
Doesn't matter how it's connected, USB, FireWire 400 or 800, or which cables are used.
Since Finder can't see it, I have to make sure I go to DiskUtility to unmount them, or I get the Device Removal warning.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Anyone know which switch got set wrong and how to set it back?

I have several identical 400GB external drives connected via Belkin hubs.
They have worked flawlessly until the latest Security Update.
Now one of them will no longer show up when connected via the hub but will if connected directly. The other identical drives still work ok.
It won't show in Finder or Disk Utility unless connected direct and this is quite reproducible. No problems reading it on a Macbook with Leopard either.

How can I get rid of adverts which are blocking all apps, even apple ones?

My grandmother is a fan of Words With Friends but recently an extremely intrusive BMW advert has appeared which cannot be closed and which takes up most of the screen. It has also started appearing in other apps when it shouldn't, including apple's own App Store. We have tried clearing the multitasking tray and have re-started it multiple times to no avail. We even deleted the offending app and yet the advert still remains on the App store.
Since I can only communicate via phone, I can't determine which iOS version she is using as she cannot understand my instructions on how to find it. However, I am confident it is NOT iOS 7.
Is there any way to solve this problem? Ideally, it needs to be easy enough to explain to someone who is not particularly "technologically gifted".

Contact Zynga games at http://investor.zynga.com/contactus.cfm. No pop up add should not have an exit option, but this one is the exception. Alternatively, pay for the app (it's not expensive). The only other way is to reset your device, which is frustrating but the only way I have found to terminate the BMW ad. sorry I can't be more help.

ALL hard drives-except boot disk-eject during sleep!!!!

Hello all,
I'm looking for a solution so a rather frustrating problem. I'm running Mountain lion (10.8.2) on an early 2009 Mac Pro.
Here is my storage setup:
Boot disk- 60 Gig OWC SSD Mercury Electra connected to the secondary optical slot (Sata II)
Internal Drive bays are all routed through this RAID card, which also necessitates the use of this attachment.
Drive bays are as follows:
Bay 1- Crucial M4 512 gb, 6 gb/s SSD
Bay 2- WD Caviar Black 1tb HDD
Bay 3- WD Caviar Black 1tb HDD **The WD drives are in a hardware Raid 0**
Bay 4- Seagate 1 tb HDD
Additionally, I have this 3tb external enclosure connected connected to the RAID card as well.
Additional notes for any questions about why this setup is how it is: This machine is used for music production (primarily film scores). This necessitates the need for the RAID card for streaming data (music samples) very quickly. The RAID card not only allows a fast hardware raid, but also allows my 6 gb/s SSD to read at full speed (500 mb/s) as opposed to my standard 3 gb/s which my is all my Logic board supports.
SO, the problem occurs when I put the computer to sleep. When it wakes from sleep—every time— all of my hard disks AND external enclosure are ejected from the computer, save the boot disk, of course. The common denominator here is of course the connection to the RAID card, but I'm also reading this happens to peoples exteranl drives very frequently on Mountain Lion as well. Is there any solution out there, or anything you can glean from my setup?
Thanks very much,
R

janne salovaara,
have you tried booting the new disk externally (either by putting it into an external enclosure, or by connecting it with a SATA-to-USB or SATA-to-FireWire adapter, and then using Startup Manager to choose it as the boot volume), to see if that works? If the new disk is bootable externally, but it isn’t bootable internally, that would point to a faulty internal SATA cable — even though it will boot with the old disk. (That slowness of the old disk could also be a symptom of a faulty internal SATA cable.)
