How do I get my USB accessory to charge?

QuestionHow do I get my USB accessory to charge? 
AnswerAter upgrading to Windows 8.1, you may have noticed that a USB device no longer charges via USB like it did in Windows 8 or earlier versions of Windows. This might be related to new power management features introduced in Windows 8.1. To resolve the issue, try obtaining an updated driver for your device by the accessory's manufacturer.
Alternatively, Microsoft has steps that advanced users can take. For information on this procedure, please see the following article:
Some USB devices do not recharge in Windows 8.1

Try SMC reset:
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait at least fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait at least five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.

    is there any directions to help me out. Thanx

    Well, you posted this question in the iMac forum and since you do not have your system info listed in your signature, we all assumed that you were asking about an iMac - not an eMac. That's why out pics do not make any sense.
    Yes, the eMac has USB ports also. They are the second, third, and fourth ports back from the front - the ones after the small circular headphone style jacks.

  • How to I get my Apple TV to charge to my loaded gift cards instead of my visa

    How to I get my Apple TV to charge to my gift cards already loaded into I-Tunes instead of charging my Visa account?

    I found the same issue trying to update pictures for the AppleTV3.
    From what I can determine the issue is in iTunes itself not being able to select the new Photos app file format.
    You will note that if you look inside your "Pictures" folder there is a new file called "Photo Library.migratedphotolibrary" (which is really a database of existing iPhoto pictures), plus a new file "Photos Library.photoslibrary".
    Well, for whatever reason, it appears Apple missed or forgot that iTunes needs to be able to read the new file. Of course you can see your existing iPhoto pictures inside of Photos, but when it comes to being able to select them to share in iTunes, it just is not selectable - so much for the "IT JUST WORKS" factor - yet another defect from my perspective.
    Besides this being some form of defect, it really is not intuitive that you have go into iTunes to select photos for the AppleTV. Or, rather it is not obvious as the Apple TV does not show up like the other iOS devices. User Experience (UX) is a hide and seek feature.

  • How do I get my USB to wireless printer on a network without a computer?

    If you have a USB to Wireless printer and no computer to use the software to do this and do not want to use the WPS option (or it is not available), then the following method may help.
    This is intended to get a USB to wireless, like the Deskjet 3512 printer, on the wireless network when there is no computer available.  However, this can work from a computer as well if you prefer not to install the software.
    For these steps, I will use an iPad.
    1.  The printer will broadcast a wireless network of its own.  This usually has HP Setup and the model of the printer listed in the network name.  Connect a wireless device to this network.
    2.  Once connected, open the browser.  In my case, this is Safari.
    3.  Enter the 192.168.223.1 address in the address and press go to access the printer's status page.
    4.  Once there, there will be many tabs at the top.  Select Network.
    5.  Select Wireless Setup Wizard.
    6.  Select Next at the bottom.
    7.  It will search for available networks.  Select your network from the list and select next.  The network should be highlighted, select it again if it is not.
    8.  It will ask for the password.  Enter the password and select Next at the bottom.
    9.  The printer should now be connected to the network.  It may take a few minutes to reflect this.  Reconnect the computer or mobile device back to your regular network and it should be good to go.

    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    If you are able to go to other websites, then the iPad is not connected to the printer's network.  The first step is absolutely key for this process to work and that is to connect the iPad to the printer's broadcasted network.
    For the steps to work, the printer will need to be connected to the printer's SSID for the printer's IP address to load.
    While connected to the printer's SSID, there will be no internet connection so no websites will be able to load.
    The steps provided are for mostly newer model printers that have the 192.168.223.1 address reserved in them.  However, older printers use a 169.254.X.X address.
    What model is your printer?  You may need to connect the iPad to the printer and then print a network config page off the printer to get the proper address for the printer.  
    What model is the printer?

  • How do I get iPhone USB back to network preferences?

    I (like many others) couldn't get the USB tethering to work after (probably) installing new iTunes 10.7.
    I managed to delete iPhone USB from network preferences before reading all about this kext stuff etc that are being posted here.
    I have now tried:
    - uninstalling iTunes 10.7
    - installing iTunes 10.6.3
    - installing AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext v2.2.0
    - installing AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext v2.3.0
    - installing AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext v2.3.6
    - re-installing iTunes 10.7
    + rebooting / connecting iPhone via USB
    None of these has made iPhone USB come back to network list.
    Any ideas how to get it back?
    I'm running OS X 10.6.8.

    Has everyone else managed to fix this or am I the only one who deleted iPhone USB from network preferences?

  • How do I get the USB cable hook up for my cell phone to work?

    I bought a USB cable (data cable) for my Nokia cell phone. CA-101. It fits my cell phone, but I can't see anything on the desktop. Nothing happens. How do I transfer the pictures from my cell phone (have them on mini SD card that I bought and put in the phone) to a CD? I tried Finder, and it shows it. There is a CD of instructions that says the CD is Windows compatible. Does this mean this connection doesn't work for Mac?

    I can't see anything on the desktop. Nothing happens.
    It probably won't. Nokia does not provide Mac drivers for their phones.

  • How to i get my usb hard drive to auto show on desk top

    Hi
    I have a small business and so multiple macs with 1 single external hard drive for storage
    One of the Macs automatically connects to the USB hard drive when the mac starts up in a morning, whereas with the others you have to search for the shared drive and manually connect to it.
    We have now changed to a new hard drive and would like all the Macs to automatically link in the morning and so wondered how this is done. Also the older mac is now still looking for the old drive and I cant stop it!
    Hope this makes sense?
    Hope someone can help
    Cheers
    Michael

    You need to find the IP of that drive.
    If they in fact do show up on the Desktop, then create a new Folder maybe named Shares on/in the Desktop, drag all those Shares shown on the Desktop to that Folder, drag that Folder to the right side of the Dock between Applications & Trash, this should give you a popup menu to select from.:-)
    Mount that Share once, then once the Globe Icon shows up on the Desktop, drag that Globe Icon to the right side of the Dock between Applications & Trash. You now have a Dynamic Mount, a quick click on the Icon in the Dock will connect you.

  • How do I get GPIB USB-A to work in MAX 2.2?

    I updated from LV 6.0 to 6.1. During the intallation MAX was updated to version 2.2. My problem is that my GPIB cark USB-A is not suported in MAX 2.2, I updated to 488.2 2.0 (W32) and I can now use my card within MAX again, but I cant use VISA aliases anymore. This is a problem since some of my older programs uses aliases for both instruments and COM ports. Is there an upgrade I can run or will I have to work without aliases?
    Is it possible to uninstall MAX 2.2 and reinstall the old MAX from LV 6.0 and get it to work with LV 6.1?
    Hope someone has a solution for my problem.

    You do not NEED Max to set up aliases.
    Check with NI support about editing Visaconfig.ini (?).
    The aliases end up in that file.

  • How Do I get My USB backup drive to wake after iMac wakes from sleep?

    I backup using Time Machine to a USB portable drive.
    When my iMac goes to sleep and wakes later, the drive icon is still on the desktop but it is not recognized by Time Machine as an available drive for backup. I have to shut off the drive and turn it back on.
    Are there settings I must change or is it because the drive is USB powered and not direct powered?

    S-Dot,
    How is the EHD formatted and is it connected via USB to the iMac?
    Finally, is the EHD bus powered or does it have it's own power supply? If it's bus powered that may be the issue, in that case it MUST be connected directly to one of the iMac's USB ports or it must be connected to a good quality Powered USB hub that is connected to one of the iMac's USB ports.
    Please reply to all questions.
