Cannot see USB call recording option on SPA525G2 connected to UC560

Cannot see USB call recording option on SPA525G connected to UC560. Phone is configured to use SCCP (not SIP). Firmware version downloaded to phone is 7.5.2c. Software pack 8.6.2 installed on UC560.
Can you please advise if USB Call Recording fuction is possible with this phone and UC560? If so, how do I configure this?
Thanking you in advance.

Hi I dont think it is a ethernet/wireless issue - wireless on XP laptop works in other networks and in fact can connect to TC router - I am just not seeing the TC when I use Airport on the Windows XP machine.
Taking a different approach - I have been able to set up a local pinter on the XP laptop using an IP port that points to the USB printer connected to the TC and this works.
I am still intrigued as to why Airport on XP cannot see the TC however the workaround is fine
Thanks for the ideas LaPastenague - much appreciated

My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). How do I fix it?

My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). I have tried unplugging the devices, restarting the computer, selectively unplugging and plugging in the devices, closing and opening the relevant applications (iTunes, iPhoto, etc). I have tried using different USB cables.
It's like all of a sudden the synching service stopped functioning or recognizing these devices for some reason. The other ports work just fine (monitor).
The only USB-connected external device that appears to be unaffected is the USB SuperDrive and it works on all the USB ports into which I plug it.
How do I fix this?

Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens or doesn't happen.

Recently I've been getting repeating static noise through USB connected devices in GarageBand

I've been using GarageBand for recording for the past year. Only recently have I encountered an issue with the use of ANY usb connected device. I'm using a Macbook Pro Retina 15" and the connected devices I've encountered the issue with are a Blue Snowball Mic, M-Audio Axiom 49 Midi Controller, and guitars plugged in via a Rocksmith Cable... pretty much any time I record through USB I get a repeating static noise approximately every 35 seconds that lasts for 2-3 seconds. The noise is very prevalent and sounds very much like what cell signal noise sounds like. I tested putting my iPhone into Airplane mode hoping that would solve the issue but to no avail.
I've been using this same exact setup for over a year and only in the last month has there been any problem like this.
Anyone else seeing this problem and does anyone know of a solution... it's pretty much rendered GarageBand useless for recording at this point for me.

Fixed my own problem... if anyone else has this issue and sees this all I had to do was update to ML 10.8.3 and it took care of what ever bug was in the system.

Airport Utility cannot see Airport Extreme Device even though connected to wireless network

I'm trying to set up a Macbook Air for my wife. I have a home network of four Airport Extremes that were configured in bridge mode with an authenticated SSID and one that is open for guests. On my PC my airport Utility sees all of the base stations and can configure them fine. On the Macbook air the utility cannot see any of the base stations no matter how many times I scan. The strange thing is that it can see both wireless networks. A fact that may be related to the problem is that the Macbook Air cannot authenticate into the secured SSID. The password is correct. Other machines (PC/Mac) all have no problem. Apple TV 2's, iPad's, and iPhone's all have no problem. I'm stumped.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

As usual in recent years, Apple creates and ships a problem (latest MacBook Air + Airport Extreme N + Airport Utility 6.1), and when multiple users encounter the problem, and post about it, nary an Apple supoort person to take ownership, so threads just die, like this one did. I'm having the same problem, and as a committed Apple customer, I just want to find any oither company to do business with.
(I'm sure connecting by wired Ethernet would work, but THE AIR DOESN'T HAVE AN ETHERNET JACK!!)
Love this community. Have had it with Apple.
Sincerely,
Marc

HP ProDesk 400 G1 - Cannot "see" wireless connections

I just purchased this machine; it's running Windows 7 Pro. It does not see or recognize any wireless networks, even though there are about a dozen in my immediate neighborhood, including the one in my house to which my other computers are connected.
I have opened the network and sharing center and run the troubleshooting routine, and the message I get suggests that I plug in an ethernet cable or use a dial-up connection since there are no wireless connections. I have tried everything I know to get this solved, butr have run out of ideas. I know it is not the network itself, as my other machines connect with no problems. Please help. (I should be under warranty, but for some reason my serial number is not recognized and so I can't get to the warranty center online.)

I've just been shopping for the same model HP and have discovered that the base model of this particular series does not include integrated wireless. It only ships with an ethernet port (RJ-45). Looking at the system configuration control console should allow you to see how the system is set up.
If you're not configured with wireless access hardware, you may need to order a wireless LAN card or use a USB wireless device in order to find the local networks. If you are configured with wireless and still can't connect, you'll need to consider a local tech or having the system returned for warranty service if it's still covered.

How to get the list of USB connected devices

Hi,
I am looking for a simple function in labview to progammatically scan for connected devices and list them.
This query concerns USB devices of all types: storage media, printer, mouse, game controller, networking accessory...
Does .NET offer any solution ?
Thanks,
Eric

Cannot see EMC PowerPath devices from ASM instance on Solaris 10 x86

Hello,
I'm trying to use EMC PowerPath devices as ASM disks, but cannot see any usable disk
from the ASM instance.
My configuration:
Hardware: Sun X4600M2
Solaris 10 8/07 x86_64
EMC PowerPath 5.0.2_b030
Oracle 10.2.0.1.0
The PP devices are /dev/rdsk/emcpower* which are softlinks to the correpsonding /devices/pseudo/emcp*.
Since I know that these devices must have suitable permissions, I've set ownership and
permission of e.g. /devices/pseudo/emcp@1:a,raw to oracle:dba and 660. The ASM instance's
init.ora file has *.asm_diskstring='/dev/rdsk/emcpower*', so I assume it will scan all
/dev/rdsk/emcpower* softlinks and fetch the ones with sufficient permissions. But nonetheless
a 'select count(*) from v$asm_disk' gives me 0, i.e. nothing.
I've just read some recommendations of using slice 6 of the disk with partition type 'usr', but
this seems to me quite superficial. I would like to use simply slice (=partition) 0 starting from
cylinder 1.
I would be very glad for any solution.
Best regards
Udo

Problem solved.
After some tests with plain files instead of devices via undocumented parameter
asmallow_only_raw_disks=false in order to check ASM functionality,
I've finally created new node devices only for oracle (and set_asm_allow... back to true).
original EMC PowerPath pseudo devices (e.g.):
-bash-3.00$ ls -l /devices/pseudo/emcp@13:a,raw
crw------- 1 root sys 215, 832 Dec 10 15:29 /devices/pseudo/emcp@13:a,raw
corresponding new character device with proper ownership and permissions:
-bash-3.00$ ls -l /u01/app/ora-dev/raw/emcp13a
crw-rw---- 1 oracle dba 215, 832 Dec 10 14:56 /u01/app/ora-dev/raw/emcp13a
With *.asm_diskstring='/u01/app/ora-dev/raw/emcp*' in ASM-instance's init.ora,
I was able to see the devices via select * from v$asm_disk and could create the
ASM diskgroups.

Guest users cannot see or connect to shares on Snow Leopard 10.6.1

I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard from 10.5. After upgrading, users connecting as "guest" to my computer cannot see any of the shares (and therefore cannot connect to them).
If I connect as my administrator user from another computer, I can see all the shares, as well as all the volumes.
I have verified that the Guest Account is enabled (Allow guests to log in to this computer) in the Accounts preference pane, and of course File Sharing is turned on in the Sharing pane, and all the shares are listed with the correct permissions.
This is a very strange and perplexing problem. Any help would be most appreciated!

If they are connecting as a registered user they can see all the shares....but as a guest they cannot...I'm trying to find what might causes that problem....I really cannot think any logical reason... Everything in my options seems to be ok... So after the 10.6.2 update your problem solved ? I think that you were very lucky man...If you find any answer to that problem please let me know...
Anyway,Thank you for your reply!

XP sp3 cannot see usb hard drive connected to airport extreme 802.11n

I have a sata drive that the airport utility recognizes. I attempted to follow the instructions from post HT1331 but no luck yet. I also reformatted the drive from ntfs to fat32 using vista but with the same result.
I found another post while writing this one which solved my problem. It turns out how I formatted the drive wasn't usable by AEBS.
Connecting Large USB Hard Drives to Airport Extreme
I needed to format the drive using the instructions found below.
http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm
After doing this and plugging in the drive I was able to use the drive intended. Since I had started the post I figured I would list the solution.
Cheers!

I don't think two problem are related. Now, for PC, try to disable the firewall software if you ave one. Some firewall can block it, like for ex PC Tools firewall, or ZonaAlarm. Some of them you can configure to work with disk agent.

Cannot See Nano in Device Manager, ITunes or Ipod Updater

Help! I purchased a new Nano 3 weeks ago and I have been struggling with it ever since. I had it working very briefly, with some songs loaded. However, I then applied the lastest update (03-23) and my nano hasn't worked since. I've tried everything. I've uninstalled and reinstalled. The Nano does not show up in Windows Device Manager, and it does not show up in Itunes or in ipod Updater. In all the postings I've read with suggested solutions the nano was at least showing up SOMEWHERE. Mine doesn't show up in any of the three places. The songs I had loaded onto the Ipod disappeared, although they still show on my computer in ITunes. I have 2 USB 2.0 ports, and I've tried switching between those, but that still doesn't work. I am able to plug my Palm into either of the 2 ports and do a Hotsync, so I know the ports themselves do work. One post suggested putting the nano into disk mode before opening up the ipod updater. I have tried and tried to get my nano into disk mode and I can't get it to do that. The Apple logo comes up, I try to press Select and Play/Pause but it just comes up with the language selection list. I click on "English" and it brings up the regular menu. I do remember my computer restarting with the Nano still connected when I was working on this problem early on. Could that have damaged something or reset something? I've spent hours and hours over the past couple weeks on this problem and I'm truly stumped. Can anyone help? At this point I don't know what else to do except take it back to Best Buy. Thank you in advance to anyone who can advise.

I tried googling for HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool and found a page apparently on the HP web site that describes this tool, but when I click on the link to download the tool I get a bad address error. I tried searching the HP site for the tool without success. Any suggestions GailPod? Do you have a working link for the tool you recommended?
Also, I thought my PC was completely current on software. I'm set to receive automatic updates from Microsoft. However I checked the Microsoft site this morning and discovered that while there weren't any High Priority updates that I didn't have, there were 7 optional software updates available that I had not yet installed. I installed those this morning and that has changed the symptoms of my problem.
Prior to installing the updates my computer was not recognizing my nano unless I rebooted with the nano attached. If I did that then I got the "Found New Hardware Apple ipod USB Device" message and the little removable storage icon appeared to the far right of the Start taskbar.
After installing the updates this morning my computer does not recognize my nano at all. Even if I reboot with the nano attached I no longer get the "Found New Hardware..." message and the little icon no longer appears. However, in Device Manager an "Unknown Device" now shows up in the USB list a few seconds after I plug in my nano. I've tried to update the driver for that device, and it says I have the most current driver. I checked c:\windows\inf (per someone else's posting) and I do have usbstor.inf. Based on the last update date it appears to be the original one from when we purchased our computer approximately 4 1/2 years ago.
I continue to be able to successfully plug other devices, such as my Palm, into my USB 2.0 ports. My Palm works fine in either of my two USB 2.0 ports.
Of the 7 updates I installed this morning, 2 were for XP, 2 were for Windows Media Player, 1 was for Windows Connect and 1 was .NET. I guess I'm wondering if the Windows Connect and/or Windows Media Player updates didn't result in the change I've seen today.
It seems like this problem has to be software related. I just wish Microsoft or Apple or both would figure it out. Anyone have any new suggestions?

Cannot see USB disk on Time Capsule with 10.7

After updating to 10.7.1 I can not see my external USB drives connected to Time Capsule.
They usually show up in Finder when I click on the Time Capsule icon in the left side.
Can I mount them in a different way?

I assume that the Capsule backed up only what was on my computer, not my wife's computer. She will have to back up her computer separately, correct?
Correct.
where do I go to see what is backed up so I can be sure it worked?
It is going to take Time Machine some time to index the new backup, so wait a day or so for this to occur.
Then, click on the Time Machine "clock" icon down on the dock at the bottom of the screen. A lot of data has to load, so if you are using a wireless connection, leave things alone for 5-10 minutes or so.
Once you have history of backups, you can use the time line on the right of the screen to select a data of a past backup to view how your Mac looked on that date. If you need to restore a file, navigate to the location, click to highlight the file, and then click Restore below the window
The following Apple support document will have tips for you:

Ipad–external hard drives and USB connected devices

Is there anyway to hook up an external hard drive to the iPad?
are there any programs which allow working in layers on images?

This is a question I would also ask. I have a Canon pro camera with 8Gb Compact Flash and I would like to be able to connect my camera via USB2 through an iPad to a portable HDD as a solution for downloading in the field. Why on earth did Apple not include USB functionality in this device. Even cheapo $300 netbooks all have multiple USB ports. Sure the current config is ok for most users, but why not have options on a more expensive model such as USB ports and an internal HDD for those needing such. My same gripe with the iPod. I have the 120Gb Classic. I really wanted an iPod touch with 120Gb HDD, but Apple don't make it. Sigh
