Get an error message when plugging in a card reader that says "cannot use device. The connected USB device requires too much power".

Is there a way around this?

She has to be using some version of the camera connection kit doesn't she? Only way to get a card reader plugged into an iPad.
if the cards are SD cards, then plugging them directly iinto the camera connection kit is the best way. If they're not SD cards, then you can use the USB attachment to plug your camera directly into the iPad.
If you're using a device beyond the camera or an SD card, some have reported success using a powered USB hub to allow plugging hte camera connection kit to other card readers.
Basically, the USB out of the iPad only puts out a limited amount of power. About a year ago, it put out more and people could plug in card readers and keyboards and even mice, but Apple changed the power configuration so now most things do not work.

You seem to have tried everything, and you say it's syncing fine on your Dad's iMac, so I assume, you have also done a Disk Diagnostic from an earlier post by tt2 and conclude that your iPod Hardisk is good.
You don't have to use it as a heavy paperweight, the problem is only using your Windows 7 machine for syncing.
In your troubleshooting steps, did you try to use another High-Speed USB 2.0 port, USB controller resource are very scarce, so if you use other USB devices, while syncing your iPod, it may just freeze.
Windows have a bad reputation for device conflict, so better don't connect other USB devices, while syncing, better sync it while disconnected from Internet, stop antivirus just before you go to bed.
Have a nice day!

HT2731 why do i get an error message when entering my credit card information?

why do i get an error message when entering accurate credit card information?

If you would like help from these forums then saying what the error message is would be useful.
The card is registered to exactly the same name and address as you have on your iTunes account ? And it was issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are ?

When I start my computer I get a "AppleSyncNotifier.exe Entry Point Not Found message. I also get an error message when trying to sync with iTunes that a backup session cannot be started. How do I fix this?

In the last few days when I start my computer, I get a box that opens with "AppleSyncNotifier.exe" Entry Point Not Found in the title.
It says: "The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQlite3.dll.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and still get an error message when trying to sync my phone with iTunes
"iTunes could not back up iPhone ####, because a session could not be started with the iPhone."
The last time I tried to sync my phone (iPhone 3G S) with iTunes, everything seemed to freeze up at Stage 4 of the sync process.
Any advice????

With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Reboot and see if all is well
In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Paste file "SQLite3.dll" to the location.
5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck

Error cannot use device the connected USB device requires too much power this error appeared when I added my camera

Error appeared when I connected my camera to iPad I used a camera connection device error cannot use device t he connected USB device requires too much power
Thanking you

Some cameras are designed to use the power suppled via USB when they're plugged into another device, usually a PC or laptop. The iPad does not supply sufficient power for a camera. The iPad Camera kit allows for either a camera to be plugged in only for the transfer of photos, not as a power sourse, or the removal of the SD Card from a camera so it can transfer photos as an alternative.

I get an error message when banking online involves seeing transactions that have posted to my bank account

I can get to my financial institution's web page and can login. My account comes up. But when I click on my checking or savings transactions I get this error message in Red "An unexpected system error occurred. Please try your request later. If the problem persists, please contact customer service."
After spending two hours with financial institution and clearing cookies, cache, etc. and creating a new login password the problem persists. I can get to everything involved with the financial institution using Internet Explorer.
No problem exists through the system used by said financial institution.

You have to go to SMTP settings for your email account and enter a password there. Sended and receiving are two different activities managed by 2 differet servers, and each may require a separate user ID and password.

I get an error message when trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. The message says "windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have anything connected to my computer. How do I fix this?

I'm trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. I went through the process of bootcamp telling it to install windows 7. Once the windows boot manager started an error message came up. The error message says " windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have a usb connected to my computer. I am using windows 7 professional install disc. I can't figure out what i am doing wrong. The same message keeps coming up over and over. Am I doing something wrong or is it something else?

Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
"P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer.

Is there an App in App Store to solve "Cannot Use Device - 'The connected USB device requires too much power' error

I'm not an app developer, but I'm wondering if there is an app that enable's USB devices connected via the camera USB and using the most current iOS 5.0 to use USB devices that draw on the iPad's power. I'm making reference to some USB microphones such as Blue Yeti that have suggested that to get a Blue Yeti working one hasto downgrade to iOS 3.2.2?
I'm thinking, can Apple or someone make this app so the user may think, "okay I want more power now to record something", and the user can turn up the power and when they've done recording, go to the app, turn down the power when the USB device is not in use [by turning down the power via the app].
Of course with the App, Apple or the developer may state that using the USB Charge Changer radically reduces the charge of the device. It'll keep a LOT of musicians and creative types very happy. I hope with Apple's blessing they'll consider this.
Hey, I'll pay 5 bucks to get this app!

No, third-party apps cannot change the power drawn by USB devices. Such a change would have to come from Apple in an IOS update.
Send feedback directly to Apple about this here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

I get an error message when I start up itunes. It says the registry settings for burning are missing and to reinstall itunes. Well I have done that and it doesn't work! Help

When I run diagnostics I get error 43 telling me to repair install itunes and that doesn't work either.

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

I keep getting an error message when trying to download i tunes. It says it's looking for MSVCR80.dll and I find it on my computer so I don't know what else to do. Any suggestions?

I keep getting an error message when trying to download itunes. It says it can't find "msvcr80.dll, but when I search for it on my computer it is there. My itunes was working just fine before I got the message to download the latest upgrade. I've not had any problems doing that before now, so don't really know what to do.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
