CD and USB won't automount

Hello there! I bearly got arch linux installed in my machine. Managed to install most of my drivers so far, however I can't manage to make my USB automount and appear in the desktop. It won't automount the CDs that i put inside, or even show the icon of the cd/dvd rom in the computer place, i don't even know how to mount it manually. I do know how to manually mount the usb flash drive, but the icon does not appear in the desktop or the Computer place. I have GNOME. can someone please help me?

Seagate 7200.8 (firewire and usb) won't unmount

I have a Seagate 7200.8 300 GB PATA hard drive that won't dismount. I have 3 different brands of external firewire/usb cases and this particular hard drive just won't dismount while installed in any of them and it doesn't matter if I have it connected to firewire or usb. When I drag it to the trash nothing happens and the drive stays mounted. If I then turn it off I get the message warning me about all the bad things that will happen if I don't dismount first. The only safe way I know of to dismount it is to shutdown the mac and then turn off the hard drive. This is on a Powermac G5 Dual 2.0 (PCI, 4 ram slot) with 2.5 GB ram and a single internal 250 GB hard drive running 10.4.3 and all current updates.
Powermac G5 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

send it to a data recovery company if you don't have a backup. If you dont have a backup, you'll wish you did when you see how much money it costs to retrieve data off a damaged HDD (if they can even retrieve a portion or all of it). Google "hdd data recovery" for lists of companies.

Got the Stratosphere update, and USB won't work anymore

Hi all.
At a loss here. I did the update today for the OS...and other than fixing the annoying cb# issue, and the change to the unlock, what I'm stumped on is when I connect to my PC, via USB, I get "Sorry! Process com.android.settings stoped unexpectely. Try again" and a force close box.
If I got to the USB Settings in the Settings area, it also faults when I tap on the USB settings.
Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

I'm with you, jrh4054. As I posted here: https://community.verizonwireless.com/message/868896#868896, I find that even though I get the error, I can still access the phone from my computer via USB to manage files. I plan to just ignore it, assuming that the functionality remains the same. It seems that it does not even occur every time. No way it's worth a factory reset.
The "debug" option that has been mentioned is found here: https://community.verizonwireless.com/message/862342#862342. I'm honestly not sure what it is supposed to accomplish.
As mkracing66 pointed out, I discovered today that if I go to Settings > USB Settings, I get the same error when I tap on the USB settings. That seems to be where the problem is really located.
Many, many people seem to be encountering this error. Looks to me like a matter of an update that was almost ready to roll out, but not quite. Will there be a fix? I'd sure like to think so, but we'll see.

My kid just got an iPod 5th gen (today from Santa) and it won't power up or charge. The only response is when I connect the USB and press the power button or front button the Battery appears with red line and lightning symbol. No other response at all.

Sorry about the long title.....its my first post.
My kid just got a brand new iPod 5th generation (today from Santa) and it won't power up or charge. The only response is when I connect the USB and press the power button or front button the Battery appears with red line on left and lightning symbol below. There is no other response at all no matter what I do, including holding both buttons down for extended period. My other kid got one and it works perfectly.....I have interchanged usb cables ports etc. but still no response....I would really appreciate any help.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you have a hardware problem with the iPod. This is because as you said the same cable works with another iPod.

HT1349 my IPOD touch won't be recognized by my DELL Latitude PC and it won't synch. I'm technologically handicapped but all I know is it used to synch whenever I would attach it to computer with USB. Aside from tossing my DELL can anyone help?

My IPOD Touch isn't being recognized by my PC(DELL LatitudeD630) and it won't synch. I'm "technologically handicapped" but all I know is it used to synch whenever I would attach it to PC with USB cable. Aside from tossing my DELL can anyone offer suggestions that might solve this problem ? Thanks

I had this issue, I fixed it by going to:
Start > Control Panel > Devices and Printers
Then find the iPod, and Right Click > Properties > Hardware > Properties > Driver > Update Driver > Update Automatically
The driver had not been automatically installed, and windows found and installed the driver files for me. Took ~90 seconds, and then the iPod began it's sync process almost immediately after. Hope this helps anyone with the same issue! I'd try this before re-installing iTunes.

I'm not able to copy and paste files from my mac to hard disk and usb. I have tried dragging the items to those devices but it won't work. I also have tried copying and pasting those files onto those devices but that doesn't work too. Can any one help?

Hi BobRz
Thanks for you suggestion but it didn't work - are there other ways for solving this problem? Or is it because my files that I want to copy and paste onto my hard disk etc are too big? (However there is space on my hard disk and it works on a PC)

HT201210 My Ipod has itunes icon and usb cable icons on its face but won't respond or restore how do I get it to do something?

iPhone 4s. IOS 7.1.1 Windows 7. Using same lead and usb socket as always. From yesterday my phone won't appear on computer. Will charge via usb lead. Dont have iTunes on this computer and never had. Am now being asked if I trust this computer. This is new. Also takes longer than usual to signal it is charging. Get usual sound notification but nothing appear in computer. I long ago disables automatic notification that phone was connected. Prefer to bring it up manually.

Within Contacts, tap Groups at top left. Make sure all contact groups are checked to show, then tap "Done" at top right.
Within the Calendar app, tap Calendars at the bottom center of the screen. Tap on Show All Calendars.

Check your cable whether it is good. If it is use the wall plug to charge at least half an hour. See how it goes.

My MacBook Pro shutdown after it said my USB was draining to much power and now won't turn on please help

Hi my MacBook will not turn on after it said my USB was draining to much power, and it shut down and now won't turn back on please help

USB power management is part of the SMC (system management controller). Try to reset SMC: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Then get a self-powered USB external hub. It takes power from a wall socket and saves the MBP power system. Starting at $20 at BestBuy and similar stores.

My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes. I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes. There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE. How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.
