Error "Failure enabling remote wakeup" with USB driver

Hi all,
I have an strange issue with an USB device, used to manage PCMCIA cards.
Running 'cfgadm' command, the OS (Solaris 10 Sparc) recognizes the USB device:
Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition
c2 scsi-bus connected configured unknown
usb0/1 usb-device connected configured ok
usb0/2 unknown empty unconfigured ok
But when I try to access the PCMCIA tokens with the client app, it returns errors like "card not found".
The /var/adm/messages shows these errors:

  • Cross Post::  Disk Utility Application - Errors with USB Drive

    I have a 4200 2.5" 100GB Hard Drive in a "portable" configuration that I've used for some time. I had not plugged it into my MBP until today and it seemed to read the drive, but that's about it. I went to Disk Utility to do what I used to call in the PC world a "format" or "fdisk" to get all the stuff off of it and get it setup as a Backup drive for my MBP. Essentially, the drive is now kaput! Actually, what happens is, when I attempt any task in the Disk Utility app, it simply freezes up and no matter how long I wait (I've waited thirty minutes) nothing happens and I'm forced to "force end" to the app. Any ideas on this?
    I am able to take the drive to my XP machine and reformat / repartion the drive, but it will not allow files to be copied over to it in the mac using the NTFS. This also seems odd to me. Any ideas on this one?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    I posted a reply to that.
    Explanation:
    I posted originally in the other forum because it is a USB drive issue. I cross posted because it is an Application issue. I probably should have just posted in one or the other!

  • Disk Utility 13 problem with USB drives

    There appears to be a problem with Disk Utility 13 (part of OS X 10.9). At least, so far as I can tell, everything traces back to this app, or possibly OS X 10.9 itself.
    I recently upgraded my MacBook Air to OS X 10.9 (reformatted hard drive, installed system from scratch, updated with all the latest Apple updates). I pre-checked all my third party software to make sure it was 10.9 compatible before installing it after the system cleanup, so everything I’m running supposedly has been approved as safe for 10.9. But I’m seeing a problem formatting USB drives that I do not encounter when running under 10.8.
    I have a Seagate STAA500101 (“FreeAgent GoFlex”) drive connected via Seagate’s USB3 adapter that I’ve used for some time as a Time Machine backup. Post-overhaul, I decided to erase the backup and start fresh. When I attempt to format it (single GUID partition) with Disk Utility, I see the following messages go by:
    Formatting disk1s2 as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with name Untitled 1
    Could not mount disk1s2 with name (null) after erase
    Then there’s a pause, and the format appears to conclude fine. But if I run a “Verify Disk” immediately, I get this:
    Verifying partition map for “Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Media”
    Checking prerequisites
    Checking the partition list
    Checking for an EFI system partition
    Checking the EFI system partition’s size
    Checking the EFI system partition’s file system
    Checking all HFS data partition loader spaces
    Volume  on disk1s2 has 0 bytes of trailing loader space and it needs 134217728 bytes
    Problems were found with the partition map which might prevent booting
    Error: Partition map needs repair because a data partition needs loader space.
    As the drive has just been formatted, that seemed odd. I took it over to another Mac still running 10.8.5 and formatted it there — it worked just fine. Verified just fine. Took the drive back to my MacBook Air and tried to verify the disk — same failure.
    I wanted to rule out bad media, so I took a Lexar 16GB USB flash drive and tried to format it with Disk Utility 13 — got the same problem.
    The only success I’ve had formatting USB drives under 10.9 is to boot up into OS X Recovery. Disk Utility there formatted my Seagate drive without an error. But once I booted back into normal 10.9 operating mode, the drive once again fails to verify; it makes me leery about using it as a Time Machine backup.
    I suppose it’s possible there could be some background component like Sophos causing problems when formatting drives, but if I format a drive via OS X Recovery or another Mac under 10.8, that wouldn’t explain why the drives fail to verify.
    Anyone got any other observations on this issue?

    Problem resolved. I'm posting this note for anyone else who might run into this situation and come across this discussion.
    It actually did turn out to be Sophos -- Cloud, that is. I'd been using Sophos' free Mac antivirus software on a variety of systems but forgot that I was now testing out Sophos Cloud on my own MacBook, which is their new endpoint solution, and supposed to be compatible with OS X 10.9 (although the Mac version is listed as "beta") Sophos Cloud includes a new feature called Device Control which allows you to create a company-wide policy to control access to hardware such as USB drives, optical drives, etc. But apparently it's still pretty buggy. I had my Device Control configured with the default setting of "monitor but do not block" but it was most definitely gumming up the system. With Sophos Cloud installed, here's what happens if I try to run "Verify Disk" on any attached drive. Note on the left side how "disk2s2" shows as a sub-volume for each hard drive.
    So if I uninstall Sophos Cloud, reboot and rescan, here's what I get:
    Works fine. Note that the "disk2s2" subvolumes are also gone. This is the way Disk Utility also appears on a 10.8 or 10.9 system, even if you have the standard free Sophos for Mac software installed. It's only Sophos Cloud that's not playing nice. It also appears to have stopped me from being able to play DVDs from an attached Apple USB SuperDrive -- that problem was likewise solved by removing Sophos Cloud.

  • Toshiba Satellite A300-129 Crisis Recovery Mode Phoenix BIOS with USB drive

    When flashing my BIOS back from v4.20 to a v3.90 I found on the net, everything went alright in windows, but as soon as I rebooted, the laptop showed the symptoms of a failed BIOS.
    I'm now trying to repair the BIOS using the crisis recovery tool. I used the following procedure to create the USB stick and recover the BIOS
    -Run the WINCRIS.Exe file in administrator and compatibility mode (Windows XP SP2)
    -Select the USB drive (1GB Kingston), and format it with the tool
    -Reinsert the drive and format again with the tool without restarting it to be sure that the disk is properly formatted
    -Take the BL5S3D57.WPH file from the toshiba BIOS update and rename it to BIOS.WPH, and copy to the Crisdisk directory
    -Copy the files BIOS.WPH (the one from toshiba I renamed), minidos.sys and winphlash16.exe to the drive in windows
    -Take the drive out
    -Plug battery out, plug AC out of laptop, hold the power button for a few seconds to make sure no remaining current is in the laptop
    -Plug the USB Drive in
    -Hold Fn+Esc in my case, this is the key combination where the laptop tries to read the USB drive the moment it boots up. It has something to do with enabling a boot block in the BIOS with that key combination.
    -Plug AC in while still holding the F button
    The F button does not nescessarily need to be held while plugging in AC, the laptop also tries to read from the drive if I hold it after plugging AC in, and before pushing the power button.
    -Press the power button
    I need to push the button twice, because the first time after plugging in AC the power button doesn't do a thing. When holding the power button for around 10 seconds after right after plugging AC in, the laptop boots sometimes, didn't find a pattern yet here.
    The easy thing however is to just push the button 2 or 3 times, then it boots, and the booting procedure seems exactly the same as when holding the power button
    -Wait for the LED to flash on the USB Drive. Very important: it seems to only flash ONCE for me, so it means it tries to access the drive, but I think it doesn't contain the right files or isn't formatted correctly. If I keep holding the F button while the laptop is on, the LED flashes once every 10-20 seconds.
    From here on out the laptop is supposed to be reading the BIOS files from the USB drive, but apparently I'm doing something wrong. So here comes my question:
    What could I be doing wrong in formatting the drive or writing the files to it?
    Do I have the wrong CRISDISK? Is it normal that the files arent copied by CRISDISK to the USB Drive and that I have to do it myself?
    Am I using the wrong WinPhlash? Or should I use the files that are supplied in the official BIOS rar from toshiba?
    I have tried different versions of CRISDISK, different USB Drives (one 4GB would not be read by the broken laptop, and another 1GB would not be read by CRISDISK when trying to format the drive)
    Tried different files on the USB Drive, tried bios.wph instead of capitals, tried BIOS.FD,...
    I'm kind of running out of options here to try. Is there anyone who has experience with this recovery mode flashing that could tell me what I might be doing wrong? Or that has any suggestions on which other CRISDISK or toshiba updates to use?
    Thanks anyways to people who read this and try to help!

    I hope that Russian service provider will be as honest as the European one and won't solder something out as a souvenir :)
    They said, it will take approximately a week.
    Serviceman said that L30 has no built-in crisis recovery routine.
    So I wasted money by buying an USB floppy disk drive and risked to burn something in my laptop by frequent powering it on and off (and may be burnt, will see).
    The lesson I learnt is never flash BIOS if everything works and if even flash then not from Windows (btw. I flashed successfully my Satellite A300 from Windows without any problems).
    Phoenix makes its BIOSes since 2001 with a crisis recovery boot block, but Toshiba locks this feature in many laptops, I think, not without a reason. Service providers want money too :)

  • Help I itunes will not recognize my iphone or ipod. Trouble with USB driver, device not running in safe mode, and HDCP not supported.

    Help! When I connect my iphone or ipod touch to my computer, windows recognizes my device but itunes will not. I can still see my songs, videos, and access the itunes store but my phone and itunes store have no connection so it does me no good. I have for 2 days now tried every trouble shooting method posted with no luck. I think I may have finally found a lead. My Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is showing up under portable mobile devices while it is supposed to be showing up under universal serial Bus controllers from my understanding? Also, while running my diagnostic report under itunes it also says itunes is not running in safe mode, it is not showing enabled in windows firewall (which it is checked), and the HDCP is not supported.

  • Time Capsule Hangs with USB Drive Connected after installing 10.5.6 update

    The 10.5.6 update basically made my External USB Disk connected to the Time Capsule unusable. I've repaired the permissions as suggested in other posts - this did not fix the problem.
    I was unable to perform any incremental backups initially after the 10.5.6 update, so I archived my sparsebundle and created a new one by doing a full fresh backup - which completed successfully. However, after the backup, I was unable to connect to the Time Capsule or the USB drive connected to the Time Capsule via Finder - when trying to connect, my computer hangs and I'm forced to do a hard restart of BOTH my computer AND the Time Capsule, if I just restart one or the other the problem persists. If I let the connection attempt run long enough I get an "Error Code: -8072" message and still have to do a hard restart. After the hard restart of my computer and Time Capsule I'm able to connect to the Time Capsule and the USB drive connected to Time Capsule just fine. However, once the Time Machine backup runs again - the same problem returns, I can no longer access the Time Capsule or the USB drive connected to Time Capsule via Finder and have to do a hard restart of BOTH my computer AND Time Capsule. This 10.5.6 update has been havoc, anyone have the same troubles or ideas for resolving this? Before updating to 10.5.6 my system was working flawlessly with Time Capsule and the connected USB drive.
    UPDATE: I've just verified that this problem only occurs with my external LaCie Hard Drive connected to Time Capsule via USB. If I disconnect my LaCie Hard Drive from the Time Capsule and restart the Time Capsule everything works fine (backups, access to Time Capsule Disk from Finder). If I connect the LaCie Hard Drive via USB to the Time Capsule, I am able to access the LaCie Hard Drive in Finder UNTIL the next Time Machine backup. After the first Time Machine backup with the USB drive connected, I can no longer access the USB drive from Finder - Finder hangs and eventually produces "Error Code: -8072". If I disconnect the USB drive, then plug it back in - Finder no longer hangs and I can access the drive connected to Time Capsule until the next backup occurs.
    Anybody have ANY ideas? This worked fine before the 10.5.6 update!

    I am having a similar problem. Never tried it before installing 10.5.6, but have a Time Capsule (500GB) with a 1TB WD MyBook Essential Edition connected via USB. Hardware is password protected by authorized users of network and needs separate login to access. When I initially set it up, it worked fine (though too difficult to set up). The WD storage drive showed up in Finder window as a subset of the Time Capsule after clicking on the Time Capsule icon. I had an "-8072" error message yesterday that I ignored, but then the file contents of the WD storage drive took forever to be viewed in Finder (though video files could be accessed wirelessly). Today started having a problem... coincidentally?... after a Time Machine backup, and got the message: "The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -8072)." Now I am unable to get into the WD drive when I click on "Connect As" on the Time Capsule icon in the Finder menu... I just get the -8072 error. I no longer even see the Time Capsule disk as a subset of the Time Capsule icon in the Finder Toolbar.
    What is going on???

  • Which to buy?  Time capsule or Airport Extreme with USB drive(s)?

    I'm getting either a TC or an Airport Extreme with an external drive.
    Archive:
    I noticed that TC can archive to an external drive. It seems this can be handy for creating off-site backups. Can I do this with a drive on Airport Extreme (with a powered hub and another drive)? Or do I need to move the drive to a Mac and copy there? Or should I use a network backup instead in either case? I guess this is my main question: Can archive work with Airport Extreme?
    Mounting:
    Is mounting the Airport Extreme for WiFi range any easier than the TC?
    Drive failure:
    Is the TC drive likely to fail over the next couple years? And the other way, if the TC breaks, is the drive something I can use elsewhere? I'm a little concerned about having all my eggs in one basket.
    Other:
    Anything I should be aware of in making this decision?

    +Are there any constraints in the orientation of TC that the AirPort Extreme does not have?+
    No, not really as long as you give either device plenty of airspace as they both tend to run warm to very warm. I thought mounting the AirPort Extreme might improve the signal strength a bit, but it made no measurable difference for me.
    +Is the TC significantly heavier?+
    The Extreme is under 2 pounds, the TC comes in a bit over 3 pounds.
    +Is mounting on a pegboard bad for the HD?+
    I think you may be asking if you can mount it vertically. That's not a problem and the Apple store even sells wall mounts for either device.
    +Yikes. I got bad info. I read the "unsupported" constraint was dropped a couple versions ago. I thought all the comments on this were referring to the older versions of AirPort Extreme.+
    Here's the Apple document. Nothing changed with Snow Leopard and I saw a specific Snow Leopard document about this...just can't find it at the moment. I'm sure other forum regulars will confirm as well if they see this post.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2038
    +Is there a list of file servers that Time Machine is compatible with?+
    Sorry, I don't have first hand knowledge on that and my policy is to only offer advice on things that I've done myself. That question might be worth a separate post since few people will see this question buried where it is.

  • Help Problem with USB Drives

    I connected two USB drives to my MBP yesterday and all I was doing was transferring files from one USB drive to the other. One of the USB drives in the middle of the transfer would disconnect for no reason and the transfer would freeze. I tried to do the same thing on my 12 inch PB G4 running 10.4.11 and I had no problems transferring files with no freezing. Does anyone know what might be happening. Thanks for your help.

    Weird... It happened to my old MBP. I brought it to the Apple Store (I had some other issues too), and they replaced the logic board and it was fine afterwards.

  • Time machine with USB drive on Airport Extreme

    For 2+ years I used a USB hard drive shared off my Airport Extreme to host time machine backups.  I just switched internet providers solely so that i could go back to using my airport extreme and sharing a backup disk.  But time machine no longer shows it as an available drive...and I found this
    AirPort base stations: Time Machine hard drive compatibility - Apple Support
    which states: Time Machine is not supported with USB hard drives that are connected to an AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme device.
    This is a pretty big step backwards as far as I'm concerned.....are there are any ways around it?

    There is a way around it: buy the latest type of the Airport Extreme (the tall one). But even that solution isn't considered reliable: http://pondini.org/TM/AEQ2.html

  • Error -36 when reading/writing with firewire drives (400 & 800)

    This is only happening when I connect the drives to my G5, but the drives work fine on my MacBook Pro. I first thought I had a problem with my drives, but then when they worked on my laptop I figured it must be a problem with my G5. One of the drives is a smartdisk firelite drive connected via firewire to the front of my G5, the other is a G-Drive connected via FW 800 in the back of my machine.
    Any ideas of what I need to do on my G5 to fix this issue?
    Thanks!

    Hi-
    The error is an I/O error. One possible cause is low power on the firewire bus, or, the drives require more power than is available. Placing a powered hub between the G5 and the drive may be the solution.

  • QT Pro won't stop recording with USB drive plugged in

    A strange thing started happening. I have been recording student presentation for about a year. I record with a videocamera and firewire using QT pro (7.5.5). I then copy those short files to a their USB thumbdrives. What just started happening is that when I try to stop the recording, the beachball keeps spinning and spinning and I have to Force Quit. The recording is okay and on my desktop, but every time I try to record again, it happens again. Sometimes it hangs up so bad I can't even bring up the force quit dialogue box, and I have to use the power button to shut down. After trashing prefs etc, repairing permissions, re-installing, checking disc (using an external startup disc), I can't stop the problem. I found that if I do not have the drive plugged in, all goes well. I can stop the recording, then put in the drive and copy the file, and then remove the drive and start my next recording. If I have to, I'll do that, but I'd like to go back to the way it was. I can't think of what I might have installed that messed things up. I got rid of a couple of things that I thought might have done it (macam, and wvm something or other) but no help.
    I had problems when 7.6 was released and I upgraded, so I'd rather not do that again (QT would not open, everything crashed and burned - was able to copy files and do a clean install, but it was a nightmare).
    Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Rob

    So unplug the USB drive, already. Record all to the hard drive and put them on the USB later.

  • Permissions / Sharing - Problem with USB Drives

    Hi,
    I suspect it's possible to do what I want, but not via the "easy" route. I'm very new to OS X, so hoping there's some more advanced functionality I haven't found yet.
    This is what I want to do:
    I have a USB drive connected to a Mac Mini running Snow Leopard. I have two users setup - one admin, one normal. I want only the local admin account to be able to access the files on the USB drive. I want the admin account to share the contents via the local network with my (Vista) laptop (which is setup with the same username / password as the admin account).
    Problem I have is that whenever I try to apply any permissions to the USB drive, they are ignored. From what I've found on the internet, that is "by design" behaviour.
    Are there any ways around this that people can suggest? Scripts? Other utilities? Other settings hidden away somewhere?
    Beyond that, ideally I'd like to encrypt the whole drive as a TrueCrypt partition, mount the drive automatically when the laptop is detected (using a keyfile stored on the laptop), and then only let the laptop access the drive. But I'll accept a simple solution for now!
    Thanks,
    David

    select the external drive in finder and enter command+i. in the resulting popup unlock the lock and uncheck the box to ignore ownership on this drive. permissions won't be ignored now. give your admin user read+write permissions to the drive and remove them from everybody else. that should do it.
    I don't use TrueCrypt and can't comment on that.
