Garmin USB not recognised on mini mac

My garmin usb device won't register on mini mac i7 on latest OS.....help!

Note sure if this will help, but read my experience below.
I got a MBP Retina and had the same issue, the USB ports work with everything connected to it so far apart from the Gamrin 276C. Went the route of bootcamp and Win7, which had no problems connecting to the 276C.
I then uploaded the latest drivers from Garmin for OSX (I'm on 10.8.2) with no luck.
Eventually I figured why not try an USB hub to step down to USB 2 with the hub. Got a cheapie USB 2 hub that I plugged into the MBP, then connected the 276C to it. Worked great and have not had any issues with it since.
So it seems the USB3 ports on the new Macs and OSX may not play nice with some older USB equipment out there. If that is the case try a USB 2 hub and see, may save you a lot of time and frustration.

  • Ipod nano is not recognised on my mac

    I have a Mac and an ipod and a nano and have previously sync both -no problem. Now the nano is not recognised by the mac. it show 'do not disconnect' and charges ok but doesn't appear on the source list so i can't restore or sync. I've tried resetting, restarting and downloading latest version of itunes...nothing working

    Just had the same problem. Solved it by doing a reset - Turn on the iPod, toggle the hold switch on and off, then press and hold the menu & select buttons simultaneously until the Apple icon appears. (I had to let go after 10+ seconds and press the select button again to make the logo appear.) I hit select once more to clear the logo and get to the main menu, then plugged it in to my computer. Everything's running well again, and the reset did not in any way affect the music files already stored in my iPod.

  • My external hard drive is not recognised on my mac book pro

    my external hard drive is not recognised on my mac book pro

    Hello all -
    similar situation.  Unplugged external hard drive and all to take the laptop on a trip.  On return, I plugged everything back in and keep getting this message:
    Time Machine couldn’t complete the backup to “Iomega_Ext_Drive”.
    Files can’t be copied onto the backup disk because it appears to be read-only.
    You may need to repair or reformat the disk using Disk Utility. If the disk can’t be repaired, you must use a different disk for backups. Open Time Machine preferences to select a different backup disk.
    open time machine preferences.   -
    I tried this and tried "repair" but that didn't work and I still get this message.  Any advice?  thanks

  • I have a new mac book pro. i am using a usb not associated with my mac. when trying to download films onto the usb it keeps saying no space on it but its not full what can i do?

    i've just bought a new macbook pro retina. i am using a usb not assocciated with this mac. when i try to download movies onto the usb it keeps coming back saying its full when i know there is plenty of space left. what can i do to correct this problem? do i need to buy a new usb? thanks

    empty your trash
    then open disk utility and reformat it
    as mac journaled if you only want to use it for a mac
    if you want to use it for both mac and PCs, select the partition tab, choose 1, format exfat and MBR under options
    enjoy

  • IPod locked and USB not recognised?

    Someone please help!! I've been stuck with this problem for the last three days. Basically, what has happened is:
    I changed my passcode for my iPod 5 the other day, then had to turn my iPod off as I was in school, I get to my iPod
    at lunch and completely forget the passcode I changed it to. So now I'm locked out. This has happened before so
    I knew what to do but this time, whenever I plug the USB into my laptop a little message just pops up saying
    ''USB not recognised''. I've tried absolutely everything to get this USB to work, I've even used different USBs
    but barely any of them work or nothing comes up at all, like the laptop doesnt even know it's plugged in.
    Is there any way I can restart my iPod without connecting it to iTunes or..? Does anyone know how to sort out
    the USB? Sorry if this was a stupid question, I'm not very good at this sort of stuff.
    Thanks anyway,
    Kate x

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    Also, as necessary:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

    - Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem
    Further:
    If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.

  • My iMac can not see my mini Mac via Airport extreme using host name, only via IP address. What am I doing wrong ?

    I have an iMac and a mini Mac attached to the same Airport extreme. It would appear that Bonjour works because I can see the hostname of the mini Mac server in Finder on the iMac.
    But if I type in the host name (myminimac.private) in the Safari browser at the iMac it can not find the mini mac. However if I type in the IP address of the mini mac server it can see the see it.
    It used to work but I must have done something to mess it up.
    Anybody any suggestions ?

    You have the wrong card. You need the original AirPort card for your G4.
    ...how the **** do i get the Superdrive to open up so i can put in a CD/DVD?
    If the keyboard has a media eject key, press that. If not, hold down F12.

  • USB not recognising 5G or mini - fixed

    There are lots of issues raised on this board about Windows + iTunes not recognising iPods, through USB. I managed to fix my problem tonight - posted here in case others find helpful.
    Old iPod mini connected through Firewire OK. Daughter's new Video iPod (USB 2.0 only) did not get recognised by Windows, iPod Updater or ITunes; did multiple resets etc as per support pages - no joy. Also when I connected my old mini by USB rather than FW same problem happened. Hence issue not with Video iPod but with USB.
    Through Device Manager uninstalled all USB devices, and let Windows reinstall them automatically. Fixed problem, iPod(s) then seen OK by Windows, updated and working.
    Hope this helps someone else, as it is VERY frustrating to have a brand new iPod just sit there doing nothing.

    Hi
    Try this (Windows XP) using admin privileges; worked for me
    1) Right click on My Computer
    2) Click Properties
    3) Click on Hardware tab
    4) Click on Device Manager
    5) Device Manager window opens with list of hardware components
    6) Expand (the + icon) the list of USB devices down at foot
    7) Right click on each USB item listed in turn, click Uninstall and confirm; or use the Action menu dropdown
    8) Exit Device Manager
    9) Windows auto hardware detect should now spring into life and you should see a lot of task bar message activity showing the USB items being detected and brought back into the system.
    Good luck.

  • Imac USB not recognised

    Hi everyone, my iMac does not recognise anything I plug into the USB- not my Garmin, nor Kindle, not even a USB memory stick. I have tried everything, it just doesn't see it! Anybody got any ideas? Thanking you in advance. karen

    Could be simple Finder preferences causing you to not see drives on the desktop. By default, later versions of the Mac OS present an overly-clean Desktop by hiding all drives. I give this "feature" a rating of:
    1) Make sure you are in the Finder ("Finder" appears next to the black Apple icon at the left end of your menubar).
    2) select "Preferences" from the Finder menu and make sure the "General" tab is active
    3) Check all the boxes at the top of that tab:
    Now any mounted drive of server will appear on the Desktop. Not as pretty as the default but much better if you actually use the computer!

  • Seagate Desktop 500GB External Drive USB not recognised

    When connecting this drive to either a PC running XP Pro or a Mac (MBP) running OS X 10.5 (Leopard) then I can access the drive without a problem. However, when I connect the drive to a Mac running OS X Server 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard Server) then the drive is not recognised. It does not even show up in the Mac's Disk Utility. I am able to connect USB Flash drives and other USB devices to the same Mac (a new Mac Mini 1TB server to be precise) which verifies USB connectivity.
    It looks like there is a compatibility issue with OS X Snow Leopard. Do you work with Seagate at all to correct this issue? is there a firmware/OS X fix?

    Have you contacted Seagate, as they manufacturer the hardware? Do they have any updated drivers or firmware or statement of compatibility regarding Snow Leopard on their website?

  • IPhone 5 is not recognised by iTunes (Mac)

    Okay so recently the sleep/wake button on my iPhone 5 was beginning to stop working.  Turns out that this is a common problem, and Apple were happy to replace my phone as it was still under warranty.  I went through the setup assistant and it prompted me to either:
    set up as a new iPhone
    restore from iCloud backup
    restore from iTunes backup
    I chose the last option, and the new iPhone was not recognised in iTunes.  I gave up on this and just decided to set up as a new iPhone, and decided I would restore from a backup later.  So I completed the setup and yet iTunes will still not recognise the phone.  I have tried quitting iTunes, restarting my Mac and restarting my iPhone multiple times.  I followed all of steps on the troubleshoot guide: http://www.apple.com/au/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/
    My Mac is running OSX 10.8.4 and iTunes 11.0.5 and my iPhone is running 6.1.4.

  • MSI E350IA-E45 USB Not recognised after cold boot.

    Any one else have the same issue? My asus (Bluetooth) BT211 is not recognised after cold boot.
    I also found the front USB's losing power when PC turned off. Connected them up to 5VSB to fix the issue.
    MSI tech has not been back to me if this is a fault design, My motherboard issue or bios issue? Which also means to charge via front USB not work when turned off.
    And to top it off I cannot find an answer to whether the Wake on Bluetooth USB is supposed to work?

    I also found the front USB's losing power when PC turned off. Connected them up to 5VSB to fix the issue.
    How did you connect up the USB ports to 5VSB?
    I have a similar issue with a newer MSI board and my USB mouse; I'd have to remove and re-insert the USB connection to the mouse after each cold boot in order for it to be recognized. I did a kludge fix by looping the mouse through a powered USB hub that supplies power to connected devices even when the PC is off.
    This MSI board doesn't have a hardware jumper to enable 5VSB to the USB ports, unlike other motherboards. Also, none of the "green" or wakeup settings in the BIOS would cause the USB ports to have power when the PC is off.
    So, how do you connect 5VSB to the USB ports? I've heard that crossing the regular 5V rail with 5VSB is a no-no, so I can't imagine how you did it.

  • IPhone "Usb Not Recognised"

    Hi, I know there have been loads of similar questions since the iOS 5 and Itunes 10.6 update. I recently got a new laptop and have tried to plug my iPhone in for the first time yet a "Usb Device is not Recognised" keeps showing up. My iPhone does not show up in iTunes or on My Computer. I have tried and followed almost every trouble shooter including:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 ( Please so not give me this link, I have tried every step on it about 500 times =.=)

    Selective Startup only having iTunes start up.
    Restarting my laptop.
    Making a new "Inbound Rule" through Windows Firewall for iTunes.
    Checked my USB cable etc.
    Getting recognised as a Camera
    Uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes + everything published by Apple Inc.
    Deleted everything under the Universal Serial Bus Controllers, restarted my laptop so that it reinstalled them then plugged in my iPhone.
    I've stopped the Apple Mobile Device service, plugged my iPhone in, then restarted the service.  The same message pops up.
    I'm pretty confident it is a problem to do with my iPhone 3G as I have tried it on multiple different computers with different Apple USB cords and it has always come up with the same message.

    I have also found in my iTunes diagnostics log above ^^ it says that iTunes is not enabled by Windows Firewall, even though I have it enabled and followed http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2553 to enable it and the iTunes box was already checked. However, I do have 3rd party Antivirus software running (Norton Internet Security) Could this be conflicting with windows firewall? If so, how do I turn off the firewall in the Norton program so that it stops conflicting with it.
    And if this is relevant, I also found that
    Connection attempt to firmware update server was unsuccessful.
    The network connection timed out.
    Is is this important?

  • Samsung LA32B530 Not Recognised via Mini Display Port

    Hi,
    Tried connecting a Samsung LA32B530 LCD Screen to my MBP. The Screen is not recognised by the system. The screen is connected via the Mini Display Port to DVI adapter and from there via a DVI to HDMI cable. Screen on flickers blue when I plug the screen in but no signal recognised by screen and the screen is not recognised in the control panel.
    The MBP is connected to the screen via the HDMI1 port which is said by Samsung to be used with a DVI to HDMI cables.
    Any suggestions?

  • USB Not Recognised, even though it's not connected

    Hi
    I have a Z1, my phone is not connected via USB (nothing it connected via USB) but my laptop keeps popping up with a warning message saying 'USB drive is not recognised. One of the USB drives connected to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognise it''
    I didn;t think it was the phone, but when I visited a client she had the same error message pop up on her laptop as soon as I used my phone.
    This is a bit strange, annoying as it pops up every 30 seconds and also a bit worrying.
    Any adivce would be appreciated.
