Connecting Bionic to PC with USB - Battery charges, no data storage icon

When connecting to my PC with the USB cord, the battery icon changes and indicates the connection is made. No USB storage symbol appears so that I can transfer files to the phone. Is there a setting somewhere I need to change?

HT4356 I have an HP 4500 printer connected to airport extreme with usb. All our portable notebooks print via air but cannot get iPad to be recognized for printing. Do I really have to have one of the other HPs listed?

Rufus Cat-
Even if it was compatible, AirPrint does not work through a USB link, only Ethernet or WiFi.
I do not see your HP 4500 listed on Apple's list of AirPrint compatible printers. <iOS: AirPrint 101> Therefore you need to take another approach. To start, I suggest you download the free HP App, ePrint Home & Biz. It has limitations, but should get you printing with your existing setup.
There are other printing Apps with more features such as Print n Share and PrintCentral, but they can only be accessed from within other Apps that have the "Open In" option.
Your best option may be to share your computer's printer as AirPrint over WiFi. Programs that are reported to do that well are Printopia and FingerPrint. Your computer must be on and awake any time you want to print. <Printopia for Macintosh> <FingerPrint for PC and Mac>

Disable USB battery charge

Hi.
I think that my question is very simple. I want to connet my iPod Nano to my computer via USB port, but I don't want to charge it (I just want to transfer data). This way I make full charge cycles, avoiding charges of little time when I transfer data. Is there some way to disable USB battery charge while my iPod is plugged in an USB port?
Thank you in advance.

I don't think there is. Only thing I can think of is disabling the USB port which would defeat the purpose since then you wouldn't be able to transfer data. You do realize that "full charge cycles" are determined not only in one continous use and discharge, but also 2 or more small charges that equal one full charge cycle. (example: allowing your battery to hit the 50% mark, charging it to full capacity and then allowing it to drain back down to the 50% mark before recharging equals 1 charge cycle, not 2). This is info explained below in the info that I pasted from iPod Battery FAQ's .
Question: What is a "charge cycle"?
Answer: Lithium-ion batteries can be charged a finite number of times, as defined by charge cycle. A charge cycle means using all of the battery's power, but that doesn't necessarily mean a single charge. For instance, you could listen to your iPod for a few hours one day, using half its power, and then recharge it fully. If you did the same thing the next day, it would count as one charge cycle, not two, so you may take several days to complete a cycle. Each time you complete a charge cycle, it diminishes battery capacity slightly, but you can put your iPod's battery through many charge cycles before it will only hold 80 percent of its original battery capacity.

Playbook wont connect with usb or charge with regular charger

My pc wont show the playbook as being connected, or recognize the device in device manager, but I can connect wirelessly. Also the charger is not recognized as being attached, and subsequently wont charge. It will charge with the rapid charge stand. I tried multiple usb ports and took it back to the store, where it connected easily with the usb wire. Both the usb connection and the charger were working a week ago, I dont recall any software changes, and the playbook os is up to date.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

This is not true. I turn my playbook off and connect to the charging source it stays off. It doesnot turn on unfilled I press the power button.

USB Battery Charger

I own an iPod Touch 4th Gen, 32 GB, and would like to know if I can charge it with a nine volt battery. What I did was to secure a female USB port to the contacts of a nine volt and plugged in a USB cable. I wanted to test it, so I plugged it into my Motorola Talkabout walkie talkie, which then said it was charging. Then, I tried my Alcatel clamshell mobile phone, same result; it said that I'd connected a charger and started charging. I have not tried my $300 iPod because I don't want to waste 300 bucks. I know that if it does end up charging, it would drain the battery very quickly, so I also want to know if I could use 4 AA bateries wired + to - to obtain the same results. This would be much better because nine volts are hard to come by here and when you do, they are expensive and I've only got one.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Actually, it isn't the battery charge feature that's draining the iPod -- because a laptop won't usually supply enough power and because syncing an iPod eats up a tremendous amount of power that's probably the problem here.
Your best bet is to get and use the three way cable that lets you plug one end into AC power at the same time it's attached to your laptop.

Second RIM phone with inop battery charger

I have a Blackberry Torch with an inoperable battery charger. This appears to be a common problem because I have an older 8820 model with the same problem.
Is it better to just give in and buy an iphone, or can RIM fix the problem?

Charger sent with phone, ATT store quick charger and chargers I have that fit this phone. All true with the 8820.
We've now established what charger(s) you're using but we don't know what you're plugging the charger(s) in to: Wall outlet, USB charger or car charger. Believe it or not, that answer will determine how we proceed with this thread.
I feel I'm not getting through to you with the correct questions so I'll leave this thread to another member to answer.

USB Battery Charging, et.

So I was reading the manual of my new zen Micro (dark blue, baby!), and I found out that it's better for the battery if you unplug it after it's finished charging. then i started wondering...when you plug in the usb cable, does the micro start charging? so would it be a bad idea to keep the thing plugged into the computer?
Another thing: I know you can't rate songs on the micro like you can on the ipod mini (boo), but i was thinking that if i rated the songs on the creative media source program, and then somehow figured out a way to keep synching the auto playlists that it creates to a playlist on the micro, this would sorta work around the issue (though not in a cool way, and i haven't tried it yet (don't want to screw the batteries, see above, by keeping it hooked up and snching all the time)).
Finally, wouldn't everything be a bit cooler if they could keep track of how many times you've played a song on the micro? i think the media source sorta does this. Also, why does the media source organizer look so terrible? maybe i've been spoiled by using media monkey (check it out, it was my life, until I thought of the "Another thing" above.
Oh, last thing, i swear, because I said this somewhere else, but does anyone have any idea why Creative decided to limit the amount of the micro you could use as a portable hd to 2 gigs?
I love the little guy, if you don't have one, and you can find one, get it.

USB charging is a lower voltage charge but I think you should still unplug the player after it's been fully charged. While tranferring tracks or organizing the music it won't really make a difference. I know that a couple nights ago I charged a player over night (Meaning it was plugged in for like 5 hours with a full charge) and the battery's charge seemed to drain a little more quickly. I know this is highly anecdotal but just some thoughts.
I don't see the need to rate the music on the player (most of my music is ripped straight from CD so it's all pretty good) and for what most people use a Mass Storage Device for personal files or maybe a few movies and 2 gigs is more than enough.

Printing with HP all-in-one connected to Airport Extreme with USB

We have an HP Photosmart 2610 all-in-one, an AirPort Extreme base station, and a G-5 MacIntosh running OS 10.4.8. We can print when the all-in-one unit is connected directly to the Mac with USB cable, however, we are unable to print when the USB cable is connected to the base station. What can you suggest?

Which driver are you using?
According to HP must use drivers 6.3.4 or 7.0

Can't connect to Blackberry Link with USB

My Z10 will only connect to blackberry Link through Wi-Fi, when I turn Wi-Fi off and plug in with a USB cable it says not connected. I tried removing it then adding it again, reinstalled Blackberry Link, rebooting computer restarting phone nothing seems to work. I want to backup my phone but can only do it with a USB cable. If anyone has had this problem and solved it could the please help?

Perhaps this is too late for those with the problems connecting Z30 via USB in BBLink.
Anyway, the definitive solution is as follows: (this only applies to Windows)
1. Uninstall the BB Desktop Software 7 (BBOS) from your computer, and have only BBLink. (it is said that you can run both BBOS Desktop as well as BBLink on the same pc however, if you do, BB10 devices will only connect through Wi-Fi and won't be able to back up. this is because the BBOS Desktop driver has priority over USB network interface.
2. Once BBOS Desktop is uninstalled, then turn the wi-fi 'off' in your BB10 device, then turn off the BB10 device, then connect the said device via USB, and when you do this, your computer will automatically pick up the driver from your BB10 device, and your device may reboot (if not just turn it on and wait couple of minutes).
3. Open BBLink, and wait for the password prompt screen to log into your BB10 device.
That's it, all done. Thanks!

Charging Microphoto with USB wall charger - what specifications are need

What specifications are required on an USB wall charger for it to work with the MIcrophoto Will the cell phone USB chargers do the job? Thanks!

Is it a problem with the charger or the phone?
Try a different charger. If the problem persists, it's the phone. This is not the typical iPhone experience and I hope you will have a good one when the issue gets resolved

It doesn't. Nothing does except for specific graphic files, as was expressed in your other thread. You will need to synch with iTunes to transfer files, or use a cloud based service (which QuickOffice does).
