  • Yes you can use a USB drive to transfer photos to the iPad, this is how...

    To transfer photos from a USB thumb drive to the iPad you need to:
    1. Plug the USB device into a Mac.
    2. Open the Disk Utility app.
    3. Pick the USB device in the left hand window.
    4. Click on the Erase tab
    5. Pick MS-DOS (FAT) and hit Erase.
    6. After the formatting is done. Click on the USB device to open it up.
    7. Make a new folder a name it DCIM (that an eye i)
    8. Drag your photos to that folder. 
    9. Connect the USB kit to the iPad and plug the USB device into it...done.
    Now you can on the fly transfer photos to the iPad using a USB thumb drive. No syncing to iTunes. For Windows computers use FAT-16
    I've written up on how to play Flip videos on the iPad without converting the video.  Yes it can be done. I will post this later today. (I'm getting old and tend to leave out nouns, adjectives and verbs when writing. I hope you understand the above.)

    I made a mistake. The one USB drive that did not work was a 4GB not 2 GB. It is formated in FAT 32. The FAT 32 format is not the issue since II have successfully connected both FAT 16 and FAT 32 formated USB drives. I think it is just too big (too many chips inside) and draws too much power.
    Doing a Google search it appears that the maximum drive size with FAT 16 is 2GB (one place hinted it was 4 GB). Since many SD cards are bigger that 4 GB today they can't be FAT 16 and thus FAT 32 has to be acceptable with the CCK and the iPad..

    I did this with a two year old 4 gig USB thumb drive. Did you format the drive on a Mac using the DOS format? If your on windows you need to use fat-16. If you use fat 32 or the wrong Mac format you will get an error that this device draws to much power.
    I know somebody else that made this work. If you can't get it to work then it's the drive or you didn't format the drive right. You know this is a work around and work around don't always work. I posted this for the people who come into these forums looking for a fix.

  • Can't eject USB drive

    Hi,
    This is driving me crazy. Every time I used a USB drive, I am told that it can't be ejected because a program is using it. Sometimes it says the finder is using it (it shouldn't be: if the finder is using it it is only listing it as a drive). Relaunching the finder using "force quit" doesn't help: it just changes the message to "one or more programs may be using it". Shutting down every single program - none of which are using it anyway - doesn't help. I eventually get a force eject option, which I use, though that comes with a warning that force eject may damage files.
    Any help appreciated. Running Yosemite on a late 2010 Air (though I get the same problem on my 2011 Macbook pro).
    Thx.

    I've been seeing the same problem (and reported it as a bug) with a number of applications (though not the Finder). When a file is in use it is flagged by the system Yosemite seems to either not change the file's flag to not in use or the system isn't getting that the flag has changed. So far exiting the program has solved it for me in every instance - though it is a pain. I think for now it is something we'll just have to live with until Apple tracks it down.

  • Can't get USB drive to work in USB port on airport extreme

    I just recently purchased a MacBook Pro and a airport extreme 110/100/1000. My first apple computer. I wanted to use the airport to connect a WD My Book hard drive and my printer so that the Mac and my windows computers would be able to access them.
    As many have reported I had trouble making it work. I could not get the Mac to access the hard drive thru the airport although it would when hook up directly.
    First Apple needs to say very clearly that the drive must be formatted FAT32. There is some disagreement whether the drive can be partitioned.
    Anyway after spending hours trying to use my hard drive I started searching the internet. I found a program that could be downloaded on the WD website that would reformat the hard drive back to FAT32 from NTFS very quickly. After doing so, the hard drive mounted and worked perfectly and had over 232GB available (not 32 like it would be if formatted on a older Windows computer.
    The drive must be FAT32 and will definitely work if not partitioned.
    Apple really needs to have much better documentation on the whole process, especially for those like me who are PC guys and are not familiar with the terminology. Hope this helps.

    I am new at this. I guess I did not want to ask a question but rather to offer an answer.

  • How can I access USB drive on AirPort Extreme with iPad

    Good day. I recently purchased an AirPort Extreme, and am very pleased. I thought I would take advantage of the ability to store files and videos of my children on my USB drive on the router. Installation was flawless, however, i cannot access the USB drive with my IPad. I have seen several postings about this, am i correct in reading that this is not possible without a 3rd party app? If that is the case, could someone point me in the right direction?

    Have you tried this? (And is the Airport new enough that you can call Apple?)
    *Manually mounting Mac OS Extended (HFS+) volumes*
    *From the Finder's Go menu choose Connect to Server.*
    *Enter the AirPort Extreme Base Station's LAN IP address (by default 10.0.1.1).*
    *Enter the username and password required to access the AirPort Disk(s).*
    *Select the desired AirPort Disk(s) from the available Volumes.*
    *Manually mounting FAT16/FAT32 volumes*
    *From the Finder's Go menu choose Connect to Server.*
    *Enter the AirPort Extreme Base Station's LAN IP address preceded by smb:// (for example, smb://10.0.1.1 )*
    *Enter the username and password required to access the AirPort Disk(s). Leave the Workgroup field empty unless you have assigned one in AirPort Utility.*
    *Select the desired AirPort Disk from the available CIFS (Common Internet File System) volumes*

  • My macbook pro can't detect USB drives

    my macbook pro can't seem to detect ANY usb drive. I have already selected to "show external disk/drive" on finder's preferences but it doesn't work. anyone with this problem and has a solution?? THANKS!

    Open Disk Utility and see if the USB drives show in there. If they don't then it is a USB port or bus problem. If they do show in disk utility are they formatted in either Mac extended or a Windows format?

  • Can an encrypted USB drive be used with the Airport Extreme?

    I would like to keep an encrypted USB drive hooked up to my Airport Extreme (A1354) so that I can use it for a hand archive of documents I might need to reference on the road or conveniently within my home, mainly because it would be handier than having to plug and unplug a USB device into whatever computer I'm using, and would allow my wife to do the same with her computer. I know most internet providers provide a service like this, but I figured why not just do this with my Airport Extreme?
    I've read posts from people who have taken encrypted USB volumes generated from their MacBook Pro, and plug that USB device into the Airport Extreme. The Airport recognized the device exists, but it is you can't actually use it as an encrypted volume. This seems like a flaw on the part of Apple if you can't do this, as this device is a much more expensive solution that what most wireless routers provide.
    Has anybody figured this one out?

    Doubtful it's going to work. 
    Does it see the same disk if it's formatted just Journaled (ie, not encrypted)?
    The tehnical article isn't entirely clear . . . it just says Mac OS Extended:  AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule: USB storage device supported formats and protocols
    It was last modified June 14, 2011, a couple of weeks before Lion was released with the ability to encrypt drives.
    Note that ExFAT is supported on Macs effective with 10.6.5, but not Airport Extremes; there's no reason to think encryption is any different.

  • Can I attach USB drive to Airport Express USB port

    I would like to attach a USB drive to my Apple airport Express USB port so that I can back up my data on my MBP and have my music stored on it for playing back over Apple TV.
    Is there any issues to doing this? As an example, how would I see the drive?
    thanks in advance.
    Adam

    Well, you can certainly attach a USB drive to the port on the AirPort Express.....but nothing will happen if you do this....since the USB port on the Express will only support a compatible printer and Keyspan remote control.
    You will need an AirPort Extreme if you want to attach a shared hard drive to the USB port.

  • Can't find usb driver for M

    I sucessfully aut-update yet my computer can't find the usb driver. I have win 200 pro. What do I do? It was working fine before.

    Hi:
    This one should work for you...while the driver says for 64 bit, it also has the 32 bit driver files.

  • Can't find usb drive that plugged in Airport Extreme

    Hello
    I am using Mac OS X 10.7.2; AirPort Extreme (5th Gen), I plugged my usb drive (500GB WD Passport) into the AirPort Extreme, but the Finder won't show it.  It's just not discoverable.
    Please help. Thanks.

    If the drive is formatted correctly for Mac OS.....the AirPort Extreme will appear under the SHARED heading in the Finder.
    Then when you click on the AirPort Extreme, a folder representing the hard drive will appear in the area to the right. The first time that you do this, you will probably need to click "Connect As" in the upper right corner of the window to enter the AirPort Extreme device password.
    When you double click the folder representing the drive, this will mount the drive on the desktop.
    Here, I am assuming that the option to display "Connected Servers" is checked in Finder Preferences. It should be checked by default. To double check...
    Click anywhere on the open desktop to display the Finder menus at the top of the screen
    Click Finder, then click Preferences, then click the General tab
    Under the heading of "Show these items on the desktop", make sure that there is a check mark next to "Connected Servers"
    The USB port on the AirPort Extreme is borderline as far as being able to supply enough current to a hard drive, so you may need to use a powered USB hub.

  • Disable USB driver installation from searching Windows Updates for software

    Hello,
    When a plug-n-play device is connected to a Windows 7 system, the system by default tries to search Windows update for compatible drivers.  I have a preconfigured driver store on each system that will have the drivers for all of the USB devices we care
    about so I'd like to search the local driver store first before searching for Windows updates.  
    I found the option that controls this under System Properties > Advanced system settings > Hardware tab > Device Installation Settings.  I have set this option before my machines run through sysprep, however, sysprep appears to be resetting
    the option back to the Windows default (Yes, do this automatically) and ignores what I set it to.
    I have a reg key that I'm running post-sysprep, but I'd like to avoid this as it's an extra step and I don't want to have to account for it long-term.  My question is, is there a way to set this option in my sysprep unattend file?  

    If this is a domain joined machine, this can be set by a Group Policy Object;
    Open Group Policy Management Editor.
    In the navigation pane, open Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Internet Communication Management\Internet
    Communication settings.
    In the details pane, double-click Turn off Windows Update device driver searching.
    Do one of the following:
    To turn off searching Windows Update, click Enabled.
    To allow searching Windows Update, click Disabled.
    Click OK to save your settings.
    Instructions taken from: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730606(v=ws.10).aspx
    If this PC is not on the domain (but is Pro) you may be able to set the same option on the Local Group Policy (GPEDIT.MSC).
    Kind Regards
    Barry

  • How can I include shared drive link to form in submission email?

    I am an assistant in an office where we will be using Adobe Forms to initiate the start of a project. My bosses are to save their form in a corresponding folder, then "submit" the form to me to alert me to continue with project initiation.
    My question is: Is there  away to, in the body of the email, include a link to where the Adobe form is saved on our shared drive so that I can click on the link and go straight to it, instead of using the attachment? This, I hope, will prevent the form being saved in two different places.

    Hi CSchoolinLife,
    Yes you can include customized content in the email body .
    Please save the form from https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=0n*uLjnmLGX8VlHRCW5n7A and check different options you can use in an email button (programatically and through GUI).
    Regards,

  • Can't Access any USB drive

    I just installed Windows 10, and untill now all is working fine except for the fact that I can't access any USB Drive or PEN.
    When I try I always get the following message:
    this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer
    How can I fix this BUG.

    Hi,
    I don’t think it’s a bug, it could be driver or settings issues.
    Please run rsop.msc to see if there is any related Group policy was configured to block USB device.
    First I would like to confirm with you that expect USB drive, if other USB device can be recognized fine.
    If not, I recommend you to update or reinstall the USB controller under Device manager.
    If this issue only happened on USB drive, let’s try following suggestions:
    Suggestion 1: Check hidden device drivers
    Unplug your USB storage device.
    Type CMD in Start Search.
    Right click cmd.exe and select
    Run as administrator. Click Yes if the User Access Control box pops up.
    At the Command Prompt window, type
    set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1 and press the Enter key.
    Using the same Command Prompt window, type
    devmgmt.msc to bring out the Device Manager.
    At the Device Manager top menu, click
    View and select Show hidden devices.
    Browse down to the Universal Serial Bus controllers and click the
    + to expand the list.
    Probably you will see some light grey devices, e.g. USB Mass Storage Device or USB Composite Device. Right click each and every light grey devices and select Uninstall. This will remove whatever "hardware profile" linked
    to your USB storage.
    Attached your USB storage device and see if it works.
    Suggestion 2: Check if the drive can be recognized under Disk management:
    Right click the Start icon and choose Disk management.
    If you can find your USB drive there but there’s no in File explorer, follow these steps.
    Run cmd as admin, type following commands   to enable automount feature:
    Diskpart
    automount   enable
    Details   for this command:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753703.aspx
    Then try   to assign letter for your USB drive again by using commands below:
    Run cmd as   admin, type following commands:
    Diskpart
    list   volume
    sel   volume x [x present the volume number of your USB drive]
    assign   letter=g:
    Another thing is if you use USB3.0 to connect the drive, change it to USB 2.0 to see what's going on.
