Can Lightning be made to use USB 3.0?

Does anyone know if the Apple Lightning connectors and cables are capable of utilizing USB 3.0 or higher speeds or are they currently restricted to USB 2.0 because the design does not allow it? I am aware current Lightning connectors utilize USB 2.0.

Can the ipod touch 2Gs use USB 1.1?

Can the ipod touch 2Gs use USB 1.1? I knows if it does then it will be very slow but I wont mind ... (too much). And if it does is there any down side (besides the wait)? Does 1.1 USB have a different electricity level then USB 2.0?

You should be able to, but yes, it will be VERY slow.

[SOLVED}_How can I configure ALSA to use usb-soundcard as default?

Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to configure ALSA correctly on my system. I have tried several times following those guides : ALSA_Arch_Wiki, ALSAProject_WIKI_Usb-audio and ALSAProject_hda-intel .
As I understand there are three main files for alsa-configuration. /etc/modprobe.d/file_name.conf, /etc/asound.conf, ~/.asoundrc . Right now I have tried this:
# This File is empty for NOW
pcm.usb-audio {
type hw
card 0
ctl.usb-audio {
type hw
card 0
pcm.softvol {
type softvol
slave {
pcm "dmix"
control {
name "Master"
card 0
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "softvol"
pcm.hda-intel {
type hw
card 1
ctl.hda-intel {
type hw
card 1
pcm.softvol {
type softvol
slave {
pcm "dmix"
control {
name "Master"
card 1
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "softvol"
But after second reboot My built in soundcard is default again.
cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [SB ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB
HDA ATI SB at 0xfe024000 irq 16
1 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI
HDA ATI HDMI at 0xfdffc000 irq 27
2 [CODEC ]: USB-Audio - USB Audio CODEC
Burr-Brown from TI USB Audio CODEC at usb-0000:00:12.1-3, full speed
I want to have usb-soundcard as default without disabling my HD built in soundcard. For example, when i am using specific apps i want both soundcards available for example mixxx.
Can anybody guide me to the right direction?

You don't have to have to use every config file theoretically possible and your current setup is probably in such a mess that you are blocking yourself with conflicting configuration. Post the contents of all ALSA related configfiles you might have
/etc/asound.conf
~/.asoundrc (and other ones in your home directory)
In general on a one user standard system you only need an /etc/asound.conf and a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf any other file is for user-specific configuration which you don't need on a one user system.
EDIT: If that what you posted up there is your current asound.conf, you are resetting your default card away from the usb again. Remove all other definitions except the ones pertaining to your usb card for now to see if you get it working then (and they should have unique names so you should use e.g. pcm.softvolhda-intel if you want softvol for your intel etc otherwise you overwrite previous definitions)
Personally I'd also suggest you switch to using pulseaudio, as it covers all your usecases with way less specific configuration necessary, you could remove all your ALSA config (except the modprobe one) and install pulseaudio-alsa and pavucontrol to control the correct devices. But that's just me, we can still get ALSA to work if you want to get ALSA to work.
I do not have other alsa-related configuration files. /etc/asound.conf and .asoundrc do not exist. In other thread about resetting/restoring alsa, i was told to remove all three files, /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, /etc/asound.conf and .asoundrc . So i did. And then I created again /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf with the contents i wrote above. So, no, these contents are not in /etc/asound.conf. but in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf .
Oh, I prefer to work with alsa for now. As I told before there are educational reasons for that too

Can I back up by using USB cable?

I have a Macbook, i used to back up via internet, but my internet shut down recently, I can't connect any internet at my place. So, can I still use airport to do the backup? and how? maybe the USB cable can work?
Thank you!

You do not need an Internet connection to perform a Time Machine backup from your MacBook Pro to an Apple Time Capsule or 802.11ac AirPort Extreme base station. Your MBP just needs either a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection to that base station.

I can't get my Mem using USB based card reader can't be recognized by iMac

I have posted this question at the Digital Forum but haven't got a response.
I am wondering if anybody has or is using Image Browser from Canon to upload photos. I have been using it for many years on Windows XP; however, now that I have migrated to Mac I'm having a tought time to be recognized by my iMac.
The card is attached to a card reader that is USB based if I plug into my XP it get's recognized in no time and I can upload using Image Browser from Canon (don't care to use Iphoto, since it requires to upload and not as a viewer).
After many attempts it the Mem Card gets recognized but:
a) it takes a lot of effort to open the JPG files
b) it doesn't let me open, view, upload the image files using Image Browser (XP no problem)
BTW the card rearder is a small one, it looks like Mem Stick USB. So I'm wondering do I need to do something prior to plugging into the iMac? I was under the impression a Mem stick is a Mem stick.
It's clumsy whenever I tried to get on line but that is another story.
I realize that because I have formatted my Ext HD as FAT32 that is going to be slow very very slow, but don't want to format as Journal for the Mac cuz I'm still have my XP laptop and don't plan to get rid of my security blanket.
So is anybody here has encountered the same and if so any suggestions please.
Thanks

A Mem Stick may be a Mem Stick and that says nothing about either the file format the camera is using or Image Browser wants to use, or the Stick's health including whether it's hopelessly fragmented from long use.
If "After many attempts it the Mem Card gets recognized…" that seems to indicate there isn't a basic incompatibility but what card reader is this and what does the maker say about drivers on your version of Mac OS?
Again if "After many attempts it the Mem Card gets recognized…" what's different between successful and failed attempts, please?

Palm Pro unlocked Can't be recognized when using USB

I ve install the ActiveSync 4.5 successfully
A window of system poped up & reminded me "found a new device: Data Interface"
When I click next to find the driver, but it appeared that it failed to find anything
Thanks a lot, if anyone helps

Hey twig978,
The iPod Nano system requirements are listed here:
http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
+Mac system requirements+
+Mac computer with USB 2.0 port+
+Mac OS X v10.4.11 or later+
+iTunes 8 or later7+
+Windows system requirements+
+PC with USB 2.0 port+
+Windows Vista or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3+
+iTunes 8 or later7+
USB is forward compatible so it may work but it will not meet the system requirements. You will be better off getting a USB 2 expansion card or upgrading the computer.

Install Windows 7 on a Mid 2010 Mac mini using USB or SD media?

Is is possible to install Windows 7 on a Mid 2010 Mac mini using USB or SD media? I have not figured this out. Here's what I have observed:
I can install OS X Lion using USB or SD media. Both are detected in the boot menu, and will boot.
An SD card with Windows 7 installation files formatted MBR/FAT32 using diskpart appears (with an SD card icon) in the boot menu but when selected as a boot device, the boot fails and the existing OS X instance on the Macintosh HD starts. A USB stick formatted as described does not appear in th boot menu at all.
An SD card or a USB stick formatted as described will boot on a Mid 2011 MacBook Air, and can be used to install Windows 7.
Is this due to EFI differences between a Mid 2010 Mac mini and a Mid 2011 MacBook Air?
Thanks.

The Mac Mini Mid 2010 has a DVD player built in, you can startup and install from a Windows 7 DVD. The Mac Mini Mid 2011 does not have a DVD player built in. I am happy that in new computers I can make use of an USB-stick to install Windows 7. Windows 7 uses MBR and Mac OS X uses EFI and that is why it was not possible on a Mac Mini Mid 2010. I think the EFI on a Mac Mini Mid 2011 is different.
I should like a firmware update on my Mac Mini Mid 2010 if possible. In that case I could choose between DVD or USB stick if I want to install Windows 7.
I also have a FireWire CF Card Reader. I think it is not possible to install Windows 7 via FireWire too.
I do have an external USB HD with 2 partitions: Mac OS X 10.6.8 and Windows 7, but is is not possible to start up Windows 7 from the external HD. It is possible to start up Mac OS X 10.6.8 from the external HD on a Mac Mini Mid 2010.

After ios 8 update I can no longer play music through my car. I have a 2012 Nissan Rogue - whihc has its own cable made to use with iPhone 4 - I use a apple adapter to converst to use with 5.

After ios 8 update I can no longer play music through my car. I have a 2012 Nissan Rogue - which has its own cable made to use with iPhone 4 - I use a apple adapter to converst to use with 5. Has been working fine up until update. Is there a fix for this? The car does not have usb

Here I come to save the daaaaaaaaaay!!!
Had the same issue with my Nissan Rogue 2011.
This listed below will fix it...
Go to General > Restrictions > CarPlay -- Make sure Carplay is DISABLED. (The new IOS 8 enables this on default)
Go to General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
The Nissan Rogue radio system was never designed to work with CarPlay. By default, CarPlay feature comes enabled when you install IOS 8. Suckz, right?
You're very welcome! Have a great day!
Sincerely,

How can I take music from an USB and transfer it to the iPod? It tells me use use itunes to sync but the music is on an USB drive. It had worked in the past. Tks

How can I transfer music from an USB drive to the iPod. I can see the music and play it on the computer, but the iPod tells me to use iTunes to sync. The music is not on iTunes. It has worked in the past.....tks

These are just playlists. The songs there are really not duplicates of the songs. They are just a different location for accessing them. Some playlists can be deleted, some cannot. Ones that are created by iTunes cannot be deleted. Ones that you create can be. The Recently Added and the 90's cannot.

Can I connect a 4 TB USB drive to the airport extreme and use it as a network drive for Time Machine

Can I connect a 4 TB USB drive to the airport extreme and use it as a network drive for Time Machine

Yes, if the drive is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
The USB port on the Time Capsule is under powered, so you may need use a powered USB hub with the 4 TB drive...even if it has its own power supply.

That is definitely odd, grantcool. Let's help restore this important data transfer feature. To confirm, when you connect the USB cable to your phone and computer > Pull down the Notification Bar > Select USB Connected > Can you choose Media Sync (MTP) ?
