Does my iMac 10.7 have: USB mass storage protocol must be supported by your OS

This is via IRIS=-for IRIS Anywhere 4 business card scanner and then opened using the Cardiris 4 software for insertion into Mac Address Book?

Lion needs 7 GB of free storage in the hard drive, but you have 4 GB of RAM installed (Lion needs 2 GB of RAM memory). Hard drive and RAM memory are different hardware of the Mac

  • IMac cannot detect ANY usb mass storage device.

    iMac Core 2 Duo (White) cannot detect ANY usb mass storage device including iPod. Only Mice and Keyboards work via usb. Any solutions? OS X shows absolutely nothing when any usb device is connected.

    Try resetting the PRAM. Hold down Option-Cmd--P-R together at the startup chime. Wait for two more chimes, total three, then let go to finish booting.
    Try an SMC Reset. Shutdown, unplug from power, wait ten minutes, still unplugged, hold power button in for five seconds. Reconnect to power.

  • Any USB device, compliant with USB mass storage protocol ! Does the zen jukebox nx quali

    I am about to buy an otg sharing device to transfer files between two usb devices without the need for a pc. My question is does a jukebox nx qualify ? or what is it's pen dri'ves etc? ipods?

    I don't think a Zen Jukebox NX would qualify; most larger Creative players require a separate driver. Pen dri'ves, most USB hard dri'ves, and MP3 players with dri've-letter capability (including nearly all MuVos plus the Zen Nano, Nano Plus, and Neeon) would certainly work; so would "removable disk" mode on the Micro, MicroPhoto, Sleek, and Zen 20GB.
    I'm not sure if an iPod would work; it depends on whether its dri've-letter capability is built directly into the firmware (OK), or just exposed by the iPod drivers (no go). I don't own an iPod, so I'm not sure.

  • USB Mass Storage Mode Missing :-(

    I just upgraded? to the Samsung Galaxy S III today and have been very happy for the most part.  However...
    I am EXTREMELY disappointed that the only options to transfer files to the phone/SD Card are to use the MTP and Photo protocols.  I always loved my Android phone...built off of open source software...and using open standards (things like USB Mass Storage).  It is incredibly useful to be able to plug my phone into almost any PC, running any OS, and be able to transfer files to and fro.
    Where is the rest of the uproar?  When are we going to demand that one of the most useful features on our phone be put back.  It was already there...it was already working...and has been dropped for lame, limited use protocols...  Why?  Who is getting paid off?  Why? 
    Bring back USB Mass Storage Mode!!!!

    It is always a good idea to do some research...  I have followed your suggestion and found that Google has two reasons for using MTP instead of USB Mass Storage.  They  are:
      1)  “A main reason for using MTP rather than for example the USB mass-storage device class (MSC) is that the latter operates at the granularity of a mass storage device block (usually in practice, a FAT block), rather than at the logical file level. In other words, the USB mass storage class is designed to give a host computer undifferentiated access to bulk mass storage, such as compact flash, rather than to a file system, which might be safely shared with the target device (except for specific files which the host might be modifying/accessing). In practice, therefore, when a USB host computer has mounted an MSC partition, it assumes absolute control of the storage, which then may not be safely modified by the device without risk of data corruption until the host computer has severed the connection.“  -sombody from Google
      --My Response - "I am totally OK with the SD card not being safe to be mounted.  During the time I choose to be connected (only when transferring files)...I DO want the PC and not the phone to be in complete control of the SD card."
    2)  “MTP is a big improvement over USB mass storage — for devices with lots of internal memory, a manufacturer no longer needs to come up with some hard partition between the USB mass storage and internal storage. Instead, they are all in one partition, with MTP providing access to the directory of media files that would normally be available through USB mass storage. This means there is no longer a need for apps on SD card for such devices, because what used to be the ‘internal SD card’ is in the same partition as where applications are stored. The storage on your device can be used for either applications or media, depending on what you want to put on it. You aren’t stuck with how much space the manufacturer decided to leave for the two areas." -somebody else from Google
      --My Response - "I am completely OK with the removable SD card being treated separately.  That is EXACTLY what I want.  I want to keep MY DATA separate and only on the removable SD card.  And all of the stuff that I don't care about...that can be easily reinstalled (apps and such) on the internal memory.  It is a good design.  The phone has enough internal memory that I don't have any trouble with space for Apps (so not a conern at all)."
      --My Overall Response - "The loss of flexibility, portability, and usefullness does NOT come close to justifying removal of the USB Mass Storage protocol.  I am still VERY disappointed."

  • KDE 4.2 and USB Mass Storage , does not write data until unmounted

    Hi,
    I have a Nokia phone that I connect for USB mass storage, and KDE 4.2.2 does not seem to write the data to the device until I unmount.
    Is there a way to force the write so it happens right away?  It's annoying because I can't see any progress when it copies the data at unmount.
    Later,
    Snorkel

    That's kinda the way linux does things, not specifically a KDE issue.  It's so that the system only has to write out to the media only once, even if you separately add/delete/move 50 different files.
    I think you can run 'sync' and that will flush all the file system buffers to disk.

  • USB Mass Storage Device - ?

    Shuffle shows up as a USB Mass Storage Device under the drive (USB Port) i plug it into.
    It will not take an update or reformat.
    Wondering if it is possible that the factory format could be erased and now the unit is just being recognized as a storage device and unable to be used in the manner it was originally intended for...MUSIC.?
    What does it mean when you get a message "Media in Drive - Changed" ?
    Fixed many other ipods in past but only one shuffle so far....now this one has me going...no clue what else i can do to it.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    i think it was trying to read the shuffle when i wanted to format and restore.
    i never did get it to work.
    no way of knowing now..i just got through tearing into this one to make one good shuffle out of the two i was working on.
    all was good till i went to put the slide bar on/off switch back on....broke the switch again.
    do you have a switch?
    thanks

  • USB Mass Storage Device won't Eject/Unmount

    My brother bought a Sanyo ICR-B180NX digital voice recorder last year to use with his iBook. It was working very well up until about August of 2005. At that point, the recorder would mount on the desktop, and he could get all the files off (it records direct to MP3 format rather than WMV, so he can edit his files very easily), but when it came time to eject it, the device icon would disappear and then immediately re-appear on the desktop. The display on the voice recorder remained static at the "Connect" screen.
    I believe this happened in conjunction with some sort of OS update, as it was a "sudden" thing. We can't quite recall what happened between the times it worked and the time it stopped working.
    I have tried the device on a PC, and it works the way it should, so I don't believe there's anything wrong with it.
    Now, I know the system requirements on the website say that you must have Windows, but a statement from a support company (we returned it to the place where we got it, and they sent it out for repairs, and it came back with a letter) states that the device does act as a generic Mass Storage device, and thus may work with most systems.
    All my other USB storage devices (ie. SanDisk 12-in-1 card reader, SanDisk Cruzer Titanium 2GB, iPod Photo), and FireWire devices (ie. WiebeTech TrayDock Extreme) work fine and unmount fine.
    Does anyone know of any changes to the way Mass Storage devices are ejected in the current iteration of the OS? I haven't had a chance to test the device under an older OS, but will soon.
    Alternately, if anyone has any suggestions regarding replacements (not really looking forward to that, given this recorder cost almost $300CAD), let me know. We need a device that can plug in via USB and transfer files to his iBook which he can edit together (he's a newspaper reporter in training, and needs to edit the interviews to take out such things like dead air, etc).
    Thanks!

    Hi
    +USB mass storage device. An error occurred during the installation of the device the data is invalid+
    This typical error message appears if the installation of external USB devices failed.
    Why? This is not easy to say
    What you could do firstly is to clean your registry using the freeware software called CCleaner (Google for that).
    Install it and clean your OS and the registry entries.
    After cleaning access the device manager and remove all USB root hubs and all USB Host controllers from the device list and reboot the notebook.
    New reboot should cause a new installation of USB drivers.
    Finally try to connect and try to install your external USB devices again.

  • Windows 7 64-bit not loading USB mass storage driver

    I have a rather strange problem with my Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.  Everything seems to work fine except for USB mass storage devices.  I have USB keyboard, mouse and even a USB audio (wireless headset) all working fine on the computer.  But
    any USB external drive, thumdrive or USB card reader with flash cards inserted into the USB port of my computer won't work.
    Windows keeps reporting that it is unable to find the driver.  When I go into the Device Manager console and choose to manually update the driver, then point it to the C:\Windows (with search for sub-directories enabled), it detects the USB Mass Storage
    driver but complains that it is unable to load it.  The exact message is this:  Windows found driver software for your device but encountered error while attempting to install it.  USB Mass Storage Device.  The system cannot find the file
    specified.
    This happens to ALL USB Mass storage device, and it doesn't matter which port I plug the device into.
    Here's the weird thing, I have VMware Workstation installed on this computer and if I power on a VM that runs Windows 7 32-bit as the Guest OS and connect the USB storage devices to the guest OS via VMware Workstation, the USB storage devices work!
    So it would appear that the USB ports are functioning properly but for some reasons, my Windows 64-bit is unable to load the driver.
    Any idea how to fix this besides a "nuke it from orbit" and format/reinstall Windows?
    Thanks.

    I'm very excited to finally have a solution for this problem. Thank You Balaji for figuring this out. I've been struggling with this for a number of years, and had only one USB Hard Drive that worked. I too have VMware workstation, and had the missing files
    in "c:\windows\inf." I can say with certainty that I did not delete the files from that folder, but something is common in both of our situations. Maybe it has to do with VMware, and some of it's updates over the years. I'm also using nCompute to share out
    a networked desktop via the wire. 
    One more thing worthy of mention is this machine was an update from Windows Vista, and the USB hard drive that worked was configured back than. So although I could never add another HD, at least I had the one.
    Now with having copied over the files, I can plugin other USB enclosures with different drives and they too are working.
    Like you mentioned, it was always possible to use USB devices within my Virtual Machines, so it was clear that the USB ports were functional. I actually got the files from a clean Windows 7 VM, copying out the \windows\inf folder and doing a compare between
    the the real one and the virtual one. I found the two missing files you mentioned, along with 8 others. I went ahead and included them all in your fix.
    It worked, Amazing. Thanks again. :O)

  • Usb masse storage  in solaris 10 problem !!

    Hi all
    i have srss 3.0 with solaris10-GA, all work well but the usb masse storage
    does' nt recognize by srss3.0 are there solution for that problem.
    or patch for srss 3.0.
    thanks team

    Congratulations on your choice of Os ;-)
    To solve this problem you can try and create a directory called /rmdisk , then start vold running:
    /etc/init.d/volmgt stop
    /etc/init.d/volmgt start
    if you are lucky your USB flash will show up under /rmdisk/<name> after a few seconds.
    If not you should be able to see the flash with cfgadm, which list the status of USB ports (among other things).
    Solaris should automatically create a /dev/dsk/ and /dev/rdsk/ entries for your flash memory, if its not automatically mounted by vold, try and stop vold using
    /etc/init.d/volmgt stop
    Then do a cd /dev/dsk and run an ls -lart, the USB devices should be among the last devices in that list, then mount it using:
    mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/<device> /some/directory
    the device should end with s2 or p2, some flash devices might also need :c, aka /dev/dsk/<device>:c, it depends how its configured.
    See man mount_pcfs for more information...
    Hope this helps a bit (:

  • Access USB mass storage dev on Netra 20

    HI all,
    We just got a Netra20 server for our lab and noticed the USB support it provides. I plugged a 128 Mb USB JumpDrive but have been unable to access it. I found some docs in docs.sun.com related to the topic where it instructs to do an eject -n (to see the device-alias available) however all I see from the output is Floppy and CDROM aliases, no generic usb alias. Also tried killing and restarting "vold" but no use.
    Does anyone know what is the proper procedure to access it? BTW I am running Solaris 8. Is USB supported in Solaris 5.8?

    USB is supported in Solaris 8 / SunOS 5.8. This includes usb devices that implement the USB mass storage
    specification.
    You may want to install the latest USB Framework patch 109896-21, it fixes several issues with usb mass
    storage devices, and even adds USB 2.0 support.
    But: The "Lexar (?) JumpDrive" (and other Lexar Products) seems to be a problematic device. It seems
    this product does not work too well (or work at all) with Solaris' USB drivers:

  • USB Mass Storage function Z10

    Hi guys.
    I use my Z10 as a USB drive to play music from my car stereo & others. 
    To do thay i go to:
    1. Configuration
    2. Storage & Access
    3. Media Card Details --> Turn on USB mass sotrage
    However, I have to do this setting every time my phone reboot because my selections is just forgiveen by the configration settings. The problem is that too many days a week i drain my battery so the phone turn off and the USB mass storage functions is disable.
    Is there any way to set this setting to ON just one time, and when the phone is restarted it dont go automatically to OFF state?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hey buddy.
    I came across the same query when I first got my Z10. I tried every / any way possible to have it defaulted as "ON" though there isn't.
    So for the meantime we will need to do this extra step every time our phones restart (until BB rolls out an update which does otherwise). I'm sure we're not the only ones who have run into this annoying un-user-friendly step.

  • How to use cRIO USB mass storage?

    Hi,
    I am using the NI9215 as an analog input port and want to write the data into an external USB mass storage which is connected in the
    cRIo-9012 USB port.  I do not have any idea how to write the data into USB mass storage, does anyone can give me some help?       

    Differences among brands and models are due to the fact that certain devices take greater liberties with the USB mass storage device specification than others.  A venerable operating system like Windows (or even Linux) is shot through with workarounds for device- and manufacturer-specific issues that are not present (as much) in VxWorks, which is the OS used on the cRIO-9012.  Therefore only devices that adhere very rigorously to the specification are going to work properly.
    Unfortunately, degree of adherence to the USB spec is not something that's generally published about a device, nor is there any sort of official certification process.  So to some extent it's trial and error.  I am working with our support enginners currently to develop a list of devices that NI certifies as interoperable with VxWorks, and also VxWorks is increasing the robustness of their USB support with every release.
    EDIT: And the advice about reformatting the device is very sound.  The cRIO-9012 does not support the NTFS file system, only FAT 12, 16, and 32.  If the USB device is formatted for NTFS, it will not function properly.
    Finally, if anyone sees a storage device that fails to work properly despite all these suggestions, please post as much information as possible (model number, manufacturer, capacity).  Having this information will allow us to work with the manufacturers of VxWorks to improve USB support.

  • Macbook 2012 Mid: Can't mount USB mass storage after upgrading to Mavericks

    Hi guys,
    I'm having big problems with USB mass storages. After upgrading to Mavericks my Mac doesn't see some USB storage devices (mostly USB sticks and Android phone's memory cards via USB. My external USB 3.0 hard disks work fine) at all even though the devices themselves (for example my Android phone) are clearly recognized according to the System Report. When I plug them in, they don't show up on my Finder or on Disk Utility.
    I've searched everywhere and it seems like some other people are having the same problem, none seems to offer a definite solution. I've even formatted my HD and reinstalled Mavericks from the recovery partition. Now it mounts a USB stick that was in one of the USB ports at the time of installation but still doesn't read anything else! The funny thing is when I boot into Windows 8 on my Boot Camp partition, I can mount any USB devices including the USB stick and the Android phone I'm having problems on Mavericks without any problems. I can even see then when I boot into the recovery so there's clearly something wrong with Mavericks.
    Any chance someone has figured out a solution for this? Apple should've address this long time ago.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem? Note: If the devices are not in Mac OS X format, they normally won't mount in safe mode, but they should appear in Disk Utility.
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
