Failed to plug and play with my Yamaha PSR-500. What do I need?

I'm trying to connect my Yamaha PSR-500(A relative unknown keyboard even on the Yamaha site) and the plug and play function doesn't work. I did a internet investigation but al the things I found where useless...
-The keyboard is old.
-I use a MIDI-cable.
-iMac doesn't recognize the keyboard.
-Had the same problem with my ex-windows computer but then I found a good windows software...
Greatings and have a great night,
Nathan

I'm sorry but the Yamaha website distinctly says that the PSR500 has NO USB Connector.
It does have a midi interface in the form of IN and OUT jacks - 5-pin DIN type.
(These seem to be labeled the wrong way round. Either that, or my HOSA adaptor is labeled the wrong way round.)
The only other connectors (all on the back) are Power Adaptor, Pedal and Earphones.
NathanMac said that the Yamaha PSR500 is relative(ly) unknown, even on the Yamaha site.
However, they do offer some advice on how to connect here:

My classics IPOD has died over the weekend and I plan to but an IPOD Touch -- but need to to 'work' and simply sync all my 'old' music on a plug and play basis -- or is that wishful thinking ? I need it urgently for a holiday so only time to buy it n run

Any advice on :
1. The Touch as a product
2. The likely chances of plug and play resync to new device without hours of 'fiddling' / support calls
or I can just use my Shuffle I guess ----

There should be no problems, make sure to have all the needed software updates for Windows and the new iTunes 10.5 installed before connecting your iPod touch.
You already know how the basic sync process is working, there are a few more features added like mail for example: iOS: Syncing with iTunes

How do I set MacBook to an external display when the plug and play doesn't recognize it? I am trying to set my Samsung 530 LCD as a monitor but HDMI and VGA cords (and the adaptor for them) doesn't seem to work.

I have tried everything I can find on line but they all claim that the plug and play works, and they don't for me. I tried the mini dvi to HDMI and a HDMI cord and that was not recognized no matter which unit I rebooted first. I found someone who said that my Macbook might be too old for the HDMI technology so I returned the cords and went to the VGA cord and adaptor.
I tried this first with the HDMI setup:

Then I tried this with the VGA setup:

I contacted Samsung support and they said I needed to set the display settings to external display on the mac. I went to the display settings and moved the icon to my status bar. When I click on search for displays or whatever it says (I'm not at my Mac right now) it does nothing.
What am I missing?

I am using MAC OSx 10.5.8 (9L31a) as my operation system. The TV says "No signal. Check connected device's power, cable connection and source selection." Seems to me that that goes in hand with what the Samsung tech said about the Mac needing to be forces to use the external display. But how do I do that?

I have a new iPad Air. Can I use plug in USB camera reader to have a load of movies etc on an external hard drive and then plug and play so to speak. I'm off on holiday and haven't got the capacity to have everything on that I'd like for the kids

Can I use a plug in USB camera reader to have a load of movies etc on an external hard drive and then plug and play so to speak? I'm off on holiday and haven't got the capacity on the iPad to have everything on that I'd like for the kids.
So basically I want a hard drive with X amount of films etc on. Can I then watch them on my iPad?
Hope this makes sense.

External HDD won't work.

How can I configure and control a non-plug and play VXI card using the NI-controller (NI-VXI/NI-VISA software)?

Defining the slot, logical address and sending data across the card bus are the main operations I would like to perform. The non plug&play card is a VXI send & receive slave card. Low-level programming is probably required. Has anyone tried this before? If so I would be so grateful if you could share your experiences or refer me to someone who has.
Thank you for your time and help,
Nandeesh

VXI cards are, by specification, plug and play, so I'm not exactly sure what you mean by a "non plug&play card." I'm guessing that the card is effectively a VME card. In this case, you can just add the VME device in the proper configuration utility. Here is a link to a document on our website about configuring VME cards (http://ni.com/support/vxi/vmeinfo.pdf).
You should easily be able set the slot, pseudo Logical Address and memory space. Once configured, you should be able to write to registers using NI-VISA commands (viIn, viOut, and viMove). These high level commands are included in the highreg.c example which shipped with your NI-VISA software (installed in vxipnp directory).
I hope this helps.

Seagate Plug and Play from Macbook Pro to Macbook Air

Recently bought a new Macbook Air to upgrade my 2010 Macbook Pro 13 inch.
I had been using a Seagate Plug and Play external hardrive that needed no formatting on my Macbook Pro . However when I tried to use the same on my Macbook Air it did not allow me to drag files across the the hardrive.
I can see it in the Finder but unable to drag files to it.
I thought Plug and Play woudl across all Macs?

OS X comes with the ability to read NTFS but not write it. Some Seagate drives come with software to enable writing NTFS on that drive. You probably installed it on your 2010 MBP when you got the drive, then forgot you had done so. Find the software installer if it is still on the drive and run it on your MBA. (You might have to locate a newer version online.)
Alternatively, you can purchase a version that can run on any NTFS disk. I use Paragon NTFS for Mac. I initially got a limited version with a Seagate drive, then purchased the full version.

How to create plug and play design pattern on a environment

Hi All,
Help me to get a best design for my problem statement.
Problem Statement: I have to create a platform where I should be able to plug and play different components. explaining better with example
Example:
1. I have to create a platform for school
2. In this school platform we have to plug in multiple components like "Student", "Teacher", "Subjects", "ClassPeriods" etc.,
3. These components should be easily plug/unplug and play
4. Like, the component "ClassPeriods" want to purchase from Vendor 1 and plug it to "School" platform it should work.
5. Incase if we want to unplug the "ClassPeriod" component provided bfy Vendor 1 from "School" platform and want to plug the "ClassPeriod" from Vendor 2. then the Design should support without any extra effort.
Suggest me the best design pattern for the problem
This design pattern is for ASP.Net
Thanks,

Plug and play speakers not working properly after upgrading to Windows 8.1

After upgrading to Windows 8.1, my plug and play speakers do not work properly. I have uninstalled and reinstalled them, and restarted. When I try to play music, nothing comes out. If I turn them off and back on, music will play for approximately 30 seconds, only from one speaker, then it turns off and fades to no sound. They worked fine until I upgraded to Windows 8.1. The manufacturer has not been able to successfully assist me. Has anyone else reported a similar issue after upgrading OS software? Any suggestions? These are fairly new speakers, less than 2 years old, and not used very much. I do have them installed via a K-V switch, and all other devices linked to the K-V switch are functioning properly (monitor and wireless keyboard). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

What ever happened to plug and play, or simple english to explain the tech stuff.

What ever happened to plug and play, or simple english to explain the tech stuff.

plug and play. well that is a windows term.. Apple decided they didn't need uPnP on the Time Capsule because that is just so windows.. so they use there own system.. called NAT-PMP.. (port mapping protocol). Just to make sure that things like playstation, xbox, etc could not open ports properly. And windows machines of course should be excluded from playing.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAT_Port_Mapping_Protocol
"simple english".. unfortunately networking requires the use of a fair number of terms people are just unfamiliar with.
The big lie was computers and networking are easy. Computers in isolation might be fine.. but as soon as you link things in networks.. it gets much harder.. and people who do study for a couple of years just to diploma level in networking haven't done it because they are dumb and could have read the simple english manual overnight. But because it is complex.
I try and explain it this way.. if your washing machine goes bung, do you start pulling it to pieces and trying to find the fault.. or do you call the washing machine repairman.. who has trained to fix washing machines.
If your computer or networking goes bad.. then "who are you going to call?" The manufacturer and complain about how hard it is to setup a $100 piece of equipment and expect them to give two hours of hand holding for free on the phone. People would never call a computer support technician.. no this is easy.. it is in simple english somewhere.. and you only need to spend an hour and all will be fine. Even though you have as much training in networking as in washing machine repairs. Would you call the washing machine manufacturer and expect 2 hours of free phone support for you to strip down their washing machine.. after all it cost 6x times what the router cost?? Or has some strange lie grabbed hold of you that this is simple.

Help file for the Plug and Play driver of Agilent Technologies E5071C

I just download the Plug and Play driver of Agilent Technologies E5071C from the below link:
http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.model_page?p_model_id=5692
I find that there is only some examples and not any help file with detail description for each input of those VIs. Although there is brief description for each VI when I press "Ctrl+H" on the VI,I still can't figure out how to use this driver. :-(
Is there any help files with more detail description?
Or any related examples for my reference? I hope to measure the S11 and S21 of the SMA cables

The driver implements the commands defined by agilent.
So look in the agilent programmers manual to find the meaning and how to handle the instrument.

I need a wifi bridge that is Ethernet and plug and play.

I am looking for a wireless bridge that I can install to an existing network through an Ethernet Jack. I do not have admin password so making any changes to the network is out of the question. The network does allow an Internet connection as I have used both my laptop and my ps3 with no issues.
What I need is a cheap portable bridge to get me 3 feet of wifi coverage and will plug and play. Would be nice to be able to have security on it but again with out access to the admin functions this might not be possible. I know some systems have a bind style security like aoss I think it is called. I have posted a link to bridges and would greatly appreciate any input on the subject.
I think the connection provider is comcast if it matters. Thank you to anyone that responds.

First a little background for those worried about security I have talked to the IT guys about the set up here. The people who installed the camera computers and the office computers did not physically connect the two networks. Hilarious, they also used free software to set up the camera computers and are running it on windows xp again I laugh as not a very reliable set up. Next apparently this network has Internet access but they are running no virus protection at all. The four computers running 16 cameras are not even sharing a single database each computer stores 4 cameras worth of slideshow style jpegs and if you want data from the other cameras it gathers it from the other computer and imports it not the most elegant solution. As for security issues I am a concierge at a condo, the data that a hacker would get access to is useless just jpegs of cameras doing what they do which is recording old people mostly. No access to the office network is probably why they really do not care about this network and the only reason it even has internet access is for off site IT guys to log in and troubleshoot any problems which they rarely do as the system seems very problematic since day one. I have been asked on many occasions to troubleshoot problems here and I am a trusted employee as for legal problems yeah right it is a condo they go after themselves like wolverines but as for employees they just hope they do not get sued for anything as it seems they just roll over and settle.
All of that being said the issue is the wireless in the lobby belongs to the residents and it is a finite source which they pay for out of maintenance fees so I want to get off of that network. My sling box set up is probably hogging some speed I would imagine, not to mention airplay and orb. I read that lots of these bridges have web based set up that is only needed the first time you set it up after that it is plug and play. So I use my laptop to set up security on the bridge and away we go.
Thanks guys for your input. It was helpful.

Is the 595759-001 DVD burner for Elitebook 8540p plug and play

I have a DVD ROM player, only, in my Elitebook 8540P, and I just ordered a DVD writer (595759-001) to replace it with. Do I just install the hardware? Is this going to be a plug and play experience, or do I need to locate drivers for the replacement? Do I need to uninstall the driver for the original DVD ROM?

Hi, The driver for any optical drive is provided by Windows, so you should just have to connect the new device, however it can sometimes avoid any issue by doing this as follows. Hold down the Windows key and press R. Into the Run box type devmgmt.msc and hit enter. Expand DVD/CD=ROM drives, right click the existing device and select Uninstall. When done, shutdown the notebook and fit the new optical drive. When you then boot Windows, give it a few minutes to fully load and you should find the new drive is up and running. Regards, DP-K

Apple plug-and-play driver for AOC monitor

I just purchased a new 23" AOC monitor to "clamshell" with my macbook. I have purchased the appropriate cables to connect with my macbook to discover that the monitor software doesnt have a mac driver and the AOC website says to download a Mac Plug and Play driver to work with the monitor. The monitor turns on but mirrors my macbook and jumbles up my desktop. I am unable to locate one of these "drivers" with apple's help. Is anyone familiar with this issue that might be able to recommend a solution? I would hate to take my brand new monitor back.

I just got my new MacBook 15 the other day and today decided to set it up wiht my AOC E2251Swdn monitor. Black monitor screen. Grrrr. It worked fine with my old laptop (mid 2007). I got the mini dv adapter as I saw it didn't have the DVI port I'm used to seeing. However, the monitor when I got it only came with the old school VGA cord, not a DVI, thank goodness I finally had a use for the one that must have originally come with the previous laptop, and that worked just fine. Right now I have the VGA cable with the DVI apple adapter then plugged into the DVI to Thunderbolt adapter. Could this cord issue be why my monitor claims no signal no matter what I do?
Also, when I looked for drivers and click the link in the post above, it downloads a folder for drivers, however, I dont' know what to do with the files in that folder (2251w.cat, 2251w.icm and 2251w.INF). I have a hunch they are windows only.
If I need to get a strictly DVI cable I can do that, but would like to know if that's likely my problem before I buy it. The monitor is only about 2 months old give or take.
Thank you in advance

Ever since I updated to the IOS 6, I no longer can play my music in the car! It is plug and play! It just sits there saying connecting and nothing happens. A few of my friends have said the same thing. Help please! Any ideas?

Hello ..do you have a history on the phone? did you get it wet? was it dropped? have you been using an authentic ORIGINAL apple charging cable?
this problem occurs when there is a short circuit in the phone... you most likely got it wet at some point and maybe didnt even realize it? The moisture in the phone hasb probablly oxidized one or several capacitors, integrated chips thereby short circuiting the phone. that is why he phone is acting erratic because these short circuits inadvertently "activates" other circuits.. eventually the phone will not turn on anymore- the heat will stress the citcuit board and you will have discontinuity along your main power lines and the phone will cease to function..i see this alllll the time in our shop
the fact you upgraded to ios6 will even work the phone harder because its a more powerful operating system taking full advantage of the A4 chip..

I was not complete clear.
Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section. If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.
