How much power is required from a USB port?

The 3rd gen Nano manual says that a "high-power USB port" is required (e.g., a un-powered USB hub won't work). If I buy a USB2 cardbus adapter (because my old laptop only has a USB 1 or 1.1 port), how much power is "high-power"?
D-Link sells such an adapter (DUB-C2) that says it has 500 ma per port. Is that enough power to charge Nano?

100mAmps is low power.
500mAmps is high power.

Pick Data From Serial/USB ports

How can I pick Data from Serial/USB ports Machines
I want to put Results into Database from Haematology Machine

You will have to write a Java program to do this and then use a Java Pluggin Commponent (JPC) to read the data into Forms.
Look on the Internet for code showing how to work with USB ports, and see Francois web site about PJCs.

HT4101 It says it requires too much power when i connect my usb??

It says it requires too much power when i connect my usb??

Ok. Many USB's trigger the too much power warning. If you have a memory card, try doing it that way. Or you can experiment with other USB sticks. I've literally had a 50/50 success rate with the ones I've tried. You can try another one. Off brands seem to work better, along with smaller ones. The largest I've had work was a 4 gig. Kingston and Sandisk often trigger the too much power warning.
Do you know the naming format to make it work? Have a folder named DCIM in the upper level and make sure that all the photos have a name of exactly 8 characters.

Thought you could use this info about getting FireWire to work! First, you should always Repair Permissions in Disk Utility before and after any update; I would do that now. If you installed your update with FireWire plugged in, your Mac may not recognize it anymore.
Try resetting your FireWire ports by disconnecting all FW devices, shut down your Mac and unplug it from AC power (wall socket) for 15 minutes. plug it back in and try FW.
If that didn't work, download the combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try.
If that still didn't get it Zap the PRAM. While restarting Mac hold down the following key combo Command-Option-P-R. Keep holding those keys down till you hear the second start-up chime, then release.
A bad internal PRAM battery can also cause FireWire to not be recognized, so make sure it's good! Also, here is Apple doc.#88338 on getting FireWire to work.
Here's another Fw Faq.

How much power?

within the next few weeks, i will likely be making the move to the world of mac and subsequently, to logic pro. my only real big question at this point is just how much power will i need? i will definately be going with the intel processor but how many tracks can i work with at the 512mb minimum requirement or how much more ram would i want to upgrade to? i am currently looking into the imac or macbook due to price and mobility.

Buyig rams fr A vendor and not fr apple to use on A mac.
Is A real riskyie situation.
1 not all memory works on all mac.
whether it is DDR /SDR. Trust me.
Some macs will accept the memory but will not work properly.
why do you think loads of mac go crashing on logic when stuff is being process,
the time it take to get from 1 memory to the other it go CRASH CRASH.
Say you went back to the shop
LOCAL VENDOR.
NOT MAC.
They will tell you all type of RUBBISH some vender that is I had to make out like i am some real yard man ganster cause the boss man was,nt having it.
Wow lucky for me, for 1 of the first time IT fealt great. cause they see I was JAMAICAN and I was in no (ramping)/ meaning -PLAYING.
I WHEN AS FAR AS MAKING OUT LIKE I WOULD SMASH THE WHOLE SHOP IF THEY DID,NT SHORT
THE BAD MEMORY OUT, ITS NOT WORTH THE HASSLE.
EIGHTER GO TO APPLE.
ARE TAKE SOMEONE WITH EXPRIENCE ON MAC, AND IT WOULD ALSO BE BETTER TO TAKE A MAC WITH YOU THEN TEST THE MEMORY.
ONLY SOME MAC,S WILL PASS ON THE MEMORY CHECK, THOUGH.
BUT IF YOU CAN GET A DEAL AT A VENDOR A YOU ARE NEW TO MAC.
THEY CAN SEE YOU COMMING
YOU ARE IN TO BE PLAYED.

How much Power does the FIS2R drains?

Hi,
short question: How much Power needs the 865PE NEO2 FIS2R with all onboard components enabled? What is the Max-Usage? Does anybody know this?
Thx in advance!

Hi,
thanks for your answer. But my question ist how many the Mobo consumes. Without the periphery!
Why do I want to know this?
My Machine:
- MSI 865PE NEO2 FIS2R (Bios 1.8)
- Zalman ZM400A-APF Power Supply (400W)
- 1 GB Dual Channel RAM ( 2 x Corsair TWINX512-3200CL2PRO in Slot 1/3) running at 2-3-3-6
- 2 x Samsung SP1604N as Raid 0 on IDE3
- 1 x Teac 516E DVD Rom
- 1 x LG GSA 4040b Multi DVD Writer
- 1 x Terratec Aureon Fun 5.1 (PCI Slot 3)
- 1 x ASUS Radeon 9800XT (AGP Slot)
Cause I got almost all information about my periphery I want to know what the Mobo with it's onboard components consumes. The Zalman 400W is one of the best PSU out there as THG said in a test. But are 400W enough to be stable under heavy stress? Most 450-500W PSU aren't delivering what they offer.
So what is the consumption of the Mobo itself with all onboard components turned on (Firewire, USB Ports....)
It should be possible to calculate a whole systemconsuption based on all information I have, or not?

How much "power" will my VGA out give me?

I was just wondering, how much power the graphics card is on my iBook G3. I have used the TV out through the headphone jack, and it works ok, but very low quality. I see there is a mini-VGA out. For $20 - I can get an adapter that turns that port into a regular VGA plug that I can use with any other monitor.
This Black Friday, there is a place selling a 22" LCD monitor for only $139.99 which is super cheap - and I was wondering if it would work with my iBook. What I am concerned about is - this monitor had a native resolution of 1680 x 1050, and my iBook monitor is 1024 x 768. So, when I plug in this monitor, will that option become available, or will I be stuck with a 22" monitor with a stretched 1024 x 768 picture? If that is the case, then it's not worth it.
But I was just wondering what the max resolution was of the VGA out on these old iBooks.
Thanks!
Scott

I don't know about the Pro models. You may want to ask in their forums if you're considering buying one of them.
As a matter of fact, I'm not 100% certain about the MacBook since I've never actually tried connecting an external display and I don't often post or read topics in the MacBook forums. However, the question has come up many times here about the iBook G3 (Dual USB) (where I have been posting for over 5 years), and I'm sure that its resolution is fixed at the maximum of the built-in display. I based my comment about the MacBook on the assumption that since the MacBook is the iBook's replacement, there is a similar limitation. Pro models have several capabilities lacking on the consumer models, and I really don't know about the resolutions they may support.

How much power does a Mac use when it's sleeping

I recently asked about shutting down vs. sleeping a computer at night. Now I'm wondering how much power it uses sleeeping. I have a laptop which I imagine is pretty dormant. What about a desktop-- Intel Mac?

I can tell you nothing about a laptop as I don't see a way of measuring what it's using while asleep. As for the desktop you are pretty much spot on, You can use it for about 11 times longer than a 100W light bulb for the same money.
In fact by using one of those price comparison websites I work out that it'd cost, (@ 10.17p/KWH), [24x365] x 0.009 x 0.1017 = £8.018 if it was left on standby all the time for a full year.
That excludes things like a standing charge for the electricity, and assumes you were on the Fixed S@ver Dual Fuel plan from EDF Energy.

Buying a new iMac... how much power do I need to run GarageBand well?

Hi All
I am about to get a 27" iMac but am weighing up the options for the processor and memory (and maybe hard drive too). Neither my wife nor I are into gaming or high end graphics stuff, so we do not need an i7 with 16GB ram... but is the bassline 27" iMac powerful enough to run GarageBand with no problems?
I have not really used it much before as our laptop is about 6 years old and it really struggles running GB, hence I have not been keen. However as I am a musician and am about to get a new computer... I am keen to find out just how much power I'll need.
At this stage, I want to play around with GB and dop some aranging, not sure how many tracks this will end up equating to as my experience grows... but unless I really get into it, I am unlikely to progress to Logic or similar... but if I did, would I need more than the baseline?
So in short... do you guys think the 27" iMac i3 with 4GB RAM will cut it for someone who is getting started but wants to spend a reasonable amount of time in GB? Why/why not?
Thanks

In order to fully understand what you just said to me... I had better find out what an 'Addictive Drum AU' is. I am quite teh newbie when it comes to digitally recording, either from a real instrument or a virtual one.
I am assuming that the Addictive Drum is fairly intense when it comes to the CPU? Are there many other virtual instruments that are hard on the CPU? For an average user I am assuming this will not pop up to often, correct?
Garageband is not a 'closed system' in that you are stuck with what it offers. You have the option to use 3rd party software to enhance your productions. AU stands for Audio Unit, a coding standard around which many 3rd party developers use to integrate with Mac products. As you develop your own habits and tastes with your productions, you might decide that the options GB offers you are not to your liking. This is where these sorts of products come in. They are very easy to use with GB. Addictive Drums is a Drum program that is actually lightweight on your system compared to others. The only reason I had 8 instances (one loaded on 8 individual MIDI tracks) was because of a limitation GB has. It suited my workflow to do it this way.
There is a huge range of AU's available, Native Instruments being a company that does a very good set of products. Some are indeed very CPU intensive, others are not. You have to do your research by asking questions on various forums and seeking reviews etc.
The term 'Average User' really means nothing in my honest opinion. Depending on your preferred genre of music and how you go about hooking into this slippery slope of hobby home recording, you may bump into a variety of limitations either in GB itself or limitations because of your machine. Because RAM is easily replaced by the owner and hard drives are easily obtained for extra storage, CPU is the thing your are stuck with from day one. Programs are getting bigger and they are relying on lots of number crunching. Amp simulations are a good example of CPU intensive software. It is easy to find yourself spending $60 here and $99 there on all sorts of cool Software, and before you know it you have quite the quiver full. I am not a heavy GB user, in that I don't run 30+ tracks on my projects. I am a 12-16 track average user most of the time. However, the reason I upgraded to my iMac recently was because I had one piano AU, yes just one, that stopped my 2 year old macbook in its tracks when using another recording program. I had all the RAM that GB could use, an excellent hard drive and a very good sound card, but the computers lack of grunt made working with it tedious and sometimes frustrating. You more than likely have a budget to work with when getting your machine. The advice I would give any personal friend who was getting their first computer for recording is to get the most CPU you can for your budget. You could be staring at this machine for the next 4-6 years. Typically RAM and hard drives get cheaper over time should you need them, relatively small prices to pay in the long run.

Get "using too much power" message when charging with USB

I have a 4th gens iPod Touch that appears to have a number of issues:
1. get "using too much power" message when charging with USB
2. can't re-boot
3. unable to access iCloud Backup, Ignore and Settings button inactive
4. unable to unlock unit when using the Home button to turn the unit on

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

[915 Series] How much power?

How much power in watts does a MSI 915P Neo2 Platinum Motherboard + 3.2Ghz Procesor + 2GB DDR memory require?
I'm trying to find out how much power my system uses, I've seen a "350W Fanless PSU" but I'm not sure if 350W is enough to power my system.
I've looked on the MSI site but cannot find any mention of the power used by the motherboard itself.
Pete

+12v - 22A min
+3V - 30A min
+5V - 30A min
Watt rating > 400 (preferrably > 450).
Rule of thumb for a Prescott system. High end or dual cards, add extra amps to the +12V and consider watts > 500.

How can I transfer music from an USB drive to the iPod. I can see the music and play it on the computer, but the iPod tells me to use iTunes to sync. The music is not on iTunes. It has worked in the past.....tks

These are just playlists. The songs there are really not duplicates of the songs. They are just a different location for accessing them. Some playlists can be deleted, some cannot. Ones that are created by iTunes cannot be deleted. Ones that you create can be. The Recently Added and the 90's cannot.

I had an important app. (Memos by bluemarblesoftware.com) that I accidentally deleted. It of course had many memos, some with quite a lot of information. I did sync my phone on a regular basis and I think the memos should be on the desktop computer. I tried to do a restore function but I got a message saying there was not enough room on the iPhone. How much room is needed?

generally you need 1.90gb
what you can do is back up your phone to your computer before doing the update, just as a precaution.

Does anybody knows how to install Windows 7 from a USB drive on 2010 MacBook Air running Lion?

Tell my wife that!
This is the best I can do. This way you can use the 2011 MBA way to do things.
Look for the post from @jacktourist. (on page 2 about half way down) This seems to be the easiest.
There are a couple of more similar to this with pictures I've seen around but can't remember where.
Here's another search with added info. It's easier then it sounds.
