How can I make my Mac recognize my USB device when I plug it in?

How can I make my Mac recognize a USB device when I plug it in? When I plug in my flashdrive drive, the device doesn't show on my desktop, so  I have to search for it...

You can try using 'NTFS-3G', its free and you can download it at: http://mac.softpedia.com/get/System-Utilities/NTFS-3G.shtml

  • How can I make lion to recognize my USB 3.5g ZTE mf626 modem? It worked before upgrade fine.

    The modem worked fine before upgrading to LION, now the hardware isn't recognized by the MBP, I unistalled the software and started the installing again, but nothing happened. It simply doesn't work.

    Your Mac is probably running in 64-bit mode under Lion while the driver is still 32-bit.  You'll need a new 64-bit driver for Lion, which may be an issue depending on the vendor.
    See item 2 here:

    I've just order a US Robotics USR5637 modem as that's meant to work under Lion—Apple's Apple Modem is no longer supported.

    of JNI on specific OS platforms to provide you a solution to have kind of JAVA-USB communication and refered under JSR 80.

    and as per your requirement usage of usb.windows pacakage is appropriate.

  • How can I make my Mac Book Pro print to a Panasonic KX-MB772?

    How can I make my Mac Book Pro OSX 6.8 talk to a Panasonic KX-MB772 printer?

    You can't. The KX-MB722 is one of the few remaining printers in the class of devices called "Windows Printers" that has no on-board printing software -- it relies on a host computer to provide all of the software functionality and Panasonic only provides such software for certain versions of Microsoft Windows. In this case, it means a 32-bit version of Microsoft Windows (2000-XP, though it will probably reliably on Windows versions up to 7). Note that these devices are not guaranteed compatible with future versions of Windows either (Panasonic has already dropped software support for this model).
    I'm pretty sure that the device doesn't support remote printing without the software either (e.g., you can't setup a computer with Windows on it, share the printer, and then print to the shared printer without their software).

    How can I restart my mac book pro 11 inches when it's on target disc mode

    Even if you could open Disk Utility you can't reformat a disk while you are booted from it. You will have to use the install CD. Ring the Apple Online Store at the number given at bottom left of this page and give them the serial number of your Mac. You should be able to get the Snow Leopard install disks for a nominal fee.

  • How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?

    How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?
    I have no intention of ever using Photos, in fact, having to abandon Aperture takes me one step close to moving back to Windows, but I digress.
    I just want to NOT have to kill the Photos app every time I plug in my phone.
    Thanks.

    I am still seeing the option Image Capture, like shown in the screenshot that Rysz posted.   But it is another example of the hide-and-seek Apple likes to play with us.
    The option has to be set for each device individually. With the device connected to USB, you have to click the tiny disclosure triangle in the lower left corner of the sidebar to reveal the option.
    I was perfectly happy with the program I paid for (Aperture), and now to maintain the functionality I have to pay for another application (LightRoom) to get the functionality that I paid for in Aperture.
    Aperture 3.6 is working well with Yosemite. I will use it, as long as I have a Mac, that will run Yosemite or a compatible system.
    Have you looked at Capture One?  It looks much more similar to Aperture than Lightroom.

  • How can I best control a non NI USB device using LabVIEW?

    One of our radio products has a USB port for local (test) control.  When I connect the radio to a USB port on my computer the NI Measurement and Automation Explorer does not recognize the device.  Nor does it recognize the device when I attempt to "add new device".
    Within LabVIEW I am unable to assign an appropriate VISA resource name that does not cause an error when attempting to use the "VISA USB Control Out" or "VISA USB Control In" functions.  The help page for wiring up these functions is unclear, particularly for the "request" and "request type" variables.
    Would it be best to pursue this current method or purchase some type of serial (com port) to USB converter hardware to communicate with my USB radio?
    Regards
    Roger

    Sorry for the hijack, but this is a related question... I have an LV application that works using COM1 on the PC.  Customer wants me to change to a USB-to-RS485 converter.  I installed the Windows driver for the converter, then plugged the converter into USB port on the PC.  Windows and MAX both see the new port.  What I'm not sure of is the best way to have the LV app find the converter.  This application will be used on a variety of PCs so the COM port will be likely to change from PC to PC.  Or even on the same PC, sometimes another USB device might get plugged in before the converter.
    So the question is this:  The converter will always have the same vendor ID.  Is there a way for LabVIEW to look at the USB devices and pick the one with the correct ID ?  Or maybe this is overkill... the Windows driver makes the converter look like a serial port (COM4 on my PC).  The original app that worked with com1 used the VISA Configure Serial function with ASRL1:INSTR. 
    I can modify the LV app to force the user to pick from the available COM ports, but would prefer to make this happen automatically.
    Any suggestions ?
