How to connect external storage devices (flash drive) with it
hello dear. I am using this hp webOS-3.0.5 device for last 8 months. It is really a wonderful device to have. But I have some queries regarding it's usage. First can we attach any usb device(external storage devices (flash drive) with it? Second is there any other way to use internet on it without wi-fi connection? Thanks
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)
I'm afraid the answer is No to both questions.
External storage can be acheived easily using the free 50GB Box.com account included with each touchpad. This does rely on a good wifi source however, which leads to your other question.
The wifi touchpad needs a wifi signal to go online. Modern cellphones can act as "wifi hotspots" and can translate a cellular data connection to wifi. (I do this with my Pre3 and a free program called "FreeTether", a homebrew app).

What is the FAT file system and how can I format my LEXAR flash drive with it?
Recently, Apple support helped me download my songs form iTunes to a LEXAR flash drive. I connected it to the USB connector in my car. My car's display said
"unsupported". My other LEXAR usb plays music perfectly. What is wrong? My car's manual says that my audio system reads and plays audio files on the USB flash memory device in MP3, WMA, AAC formats. (AAC format files recorded with iTunes only.) How do I correct this problem?Reformatting the drive will completely erase it so make sure you have copies of the files.
FAT format is an older non-Mac format but is still found on plenty of things such as flash drives. It's the one format that both Macs and Windows computers can fully use but it has limitations outside small-scale use. Your Apple person must have reformatted your drive to Mac format which wasn't very smart of the person since almost nothing except Apple products can work with Mac format. Are you sure you explained how you intended to use the drive, or did you just ask the person how to put files on there? -
Can anyone recommend an external storage device to supplement my mac book air? I already have a time capsule but want the new device to replicate the data on that so ideally would like a device that i can connect to the time capsule through a cable.
Hi CJR
I'm not sure how Time Capsule can be replicated onto your external drive but there is a USB port on the back of TC that can be hooked up to any recent external drive.
Another thing to think about , besides a Time Capsule failure, is the theft of your Time Capsule, so it might be a good idea to consider separating any redundant back-up from your Time Capsule or both my be stolen.
TC will back up until full and then begin deleting the oldest back-ups. Mine is a 2TB Time capsule.
My back-up plan is as follows:
1. Macbook Air back-up on Time Capsule though Time Machine backs up everything - I think it's about every 30 min or so.
2. Contacts, reminders, appointments, notes, email are backed up through iCloud.
3. iTunes and non-itunes purchased music is on iMatch (and no need to back-up) and any non-iTunes music is backed up on an HP external drive (in case Time Capsule dies)
4. Photos are on my MacBook Air and are backed up on my HP external drive.
5. Office documents (Excel, Powerpoint, Access etc) are stored in a Skydrive app (like iCloud) and Skydrive syncs these docuemnts with the MS cloud and my old PC and does not alter their native format like storing in iCloud would do.

I'm trying to transfer music from iTunes on an old PC (Windows Vista Home Basic) that uses an external storage device to store the files to a new PC (Windows 7 Starter) that will use that same external storage device. I am also dealing with the new iTunes 11. How can I accomplish this successfully? What folder does iTunes use to store the data in? I've tried several things. Home Sharing caused duplicates but not all songs or apps transfered. It is a large library! I've tried just setting the path in the Advanced Tab of iTunes preferences of the new computer with the external drive connected the same as the path when the external drive is connected to the old computer. This was the best solution so far but still a few artists missing and some apps. Any suggestions?
Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
With iTunes 11 you might also have a Home Videos folder inside iTunes Media.
In the simplest cases you copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source computer to <User's Music> on the target machine, install iTunes, and it "just works"TM.
If the media folder (inside the red outline) has been split out to a separate location then you can copy the library folder (outside the red outline) as before and connect the drive holding the media so that it has exactly the same path as before. If the drive appears as D: on one system and E: on the other then the library won't be able to find the media.
The crucial file is iTunes Library.itl - this contains a record of the tracks that have been added to the library, ratings, play counts, playlists etc.

How large of a storage device would I need to back up my macbook pro that says I have used about 150G of my 232G hard drive?
RJ Lange wrote:
So eventually you could end up using more data space in a back-up drive than the original drive, huh?
With TimeMachine, yes.
With a bootable clone, no. Provided you don't save the backup states changes which CCC is doing now.
I prefer a straight clone backup, I keep many copies of clones on seperate hardware to "go back in time" with and thus avoid saving the changes with my clones.
I swear I tried to back up my computer on a 250g G-Drive and it told me there was not enough room. But I am not positive if the entire drive was available or not. I may have had it sectioned into 150 & 100 sections and I might have tried to back it up on the 150 section. or I might be imagining that.... either way, it didn't work.
Your data is going to grow, 232GB is rather small for a boot drive.
So your going to be needing storage drives eventually, just plan ahead and remmeber hardware redundancy is key. -
How to get internal hard disk name or external storage device on Mac
Hi,
I have a video display component to which I want to give the url of a flv file through a browse button. through browse button I am getting entire url path of the flv file except the top most root directory name. but in mac we should give absolute path with : delimitation rather than / as delimitation. for this I need to get the internal or external storage device name through AIR application. I will be very greatfull if anybody help me out on this issue.
Thank you.
sudheer puppalaThe following code lists the names of all mounted volumes on a Mac:
var volumes:Array = new File("/Volumes").getDirectoryListing();

trace(volumes[i].name); -
I am thinking of buying a "new" iPad but I have a very large iPhoto library which I would like to keep intact and be able to view on my new iPad. Is there a way to use a external storage device to store the iPhoto library and view it on the iPad?
You can't use an external hard drive like you would with a computer.
You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
When you first connect the USB flash drive, you will only see thumbnails of the pics on the iPad; you have to import the pic file to see the full size. With your large library of pics, you will have to do this repeateably and then delete pics so you don't exceed your memory capacity.

How to connect external trigger PCI-1433
Hi all:
I met the same problem as this old post: https://forums.ni.com/t5/Machine-Vision/How-to-connect-external-trigger-PCIe-1433/m-p/1677560/highli...
however the post did not give solution.
I am having an issue getting the external trigger( from PCI 6259) to work with a cameralink camera, a PCIe-1433 card . The PCI 6259 is connected to BNC 2111, the output trigger signal from CTR0 is connected to the SMB connector on the 1433 card and is providing pulse train at TTL voltages (0-5V). Using the MAX SOFTWARE and under the Acquisition tab I have CC1 set to external 0, however the camera is not receiving this external trigger. The camera is Basler 4096-140km.
I measured the ouiput signal from CTL0, the sigal seems good.
I tried RTSI trigger before, failded. I thought SMB should be more straight forward, seems I was wrong.
Looking forward to reply!

External Camera Trigger(SMB).vi 57 KBBobjojo,
You will actually need to affect the properties of both the camera and the frame grabber to take advantage of this triggering mode. I found a document that contains a good run down of the process to acquire in this mode (linked below). As far as the programming for the acquisition is concerned, the frames will be built at the driver level for the specified frame height. This means that the IMAQ driver will composite the line scans for you, and any simple acquisition (the document shows using the Vision Acquisition Express VI) will be able to pull the image into LabVIEW.

I am trying to connect my sandisk titanium flash drive to my macbook pro. the light is on but it is not recognizing it on the computer. any ideas
Do other USB devices work on your MBP?
Does this USB stick work on other MBPs?
There is a possibility that the stick requires more power than the MBP delivers. Try it on a powered hub.

External storage device not showing up in finder
I have an imac with an external storage device for back-up. Up to now when I turned on the device it would show up in Finder. Now it's not. I have checked the connections (firewire), restarted the computer but it's not showing up. What should I do or try?
TRY THIS SOLUTION, EASY!
I'm a GOOD mac user. Not a genius, but pretty good, used it for years.
BUT SOMEHOW THIS ESCAPED ME:
In the finder, on the left side, scrol down to DEVICES.
Mouse over slowly to the right of that word and it says SHOW/HIDE.
Well.. Mine were hidden!
That's it! -
How to create a USB recovery flash drive using recovery ISO image?
This “HowTo” provides information and instruction how to create a USB recovery media flash drive using the Toshiba recovery ISO image files or Toshiba Recovery discs (DVDs)
To create a USB recovery media flash drive, a USB flash drive with at least 16GB disk space is suggested (depends on the size of the ISO images or recovery discs).
Note: Since 2015 the ISO layout has changed and a different procedure must be processed to create the USB media. The new recovery media type can be identified by the names of the ISO files.
More info: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD4103KB0000R01.htmYes, that article should apply to tablets.
But if your USB recovery drive does not get recognized then it must be corrupted - you should be able to format your disk and perhaps try to see if creating a Recovery device on other devices will make it recognizable on your tablet 2. -
All external storage devices (USB HD, iPod, iPhone, SD card reader, etc) are not staying connected. Connection runs for 10-15 sec and the error message "card not ejected properly" appears. Have reformatted cards, performed a OSx install disk permissions and disk repair, re-installed and updated OSx, and PRAM reset. After the OSx reinstall I had no problems for about 2 days then my iPod shuffle sync triggered the error message. I follow good practice in ejecting disks from the Finder window or iTunes.
thought i had it licked after taking to the local service center. they checked out the hardware and felt there was no problem getting power to the USB and SD ports, eg the suspected cause of the eject. they thought it might be a buried permissions problem in some dl'ed software that the repair utility would not find/fix. sooo...i wiped the disk and reinstalled everything from scratch. worked for about a month and now its showing up again. just kicked off my shuffle. the sd reader self ejects after about 10 seconds. dunno where to go from here.

I just received a new macbook pro. I am looking for a usb3 external storage 500 GB drive. Some manufacturers of drives aren't for sure their drive will work with the new system. Does anybody have any suggestions for drives that will workw
There seems to be a problem, just now, with the USB 3 ports on the new MBP's supporting eternal USB 3 drives. Some people have no luck at all - can't even recognize the drive - and some are reporting USB 2 speeds (those who drives are recognized). I'd call a dealer such as LaCie or OWC to see if they have USB 3 drives that actually work with MBP's with USB 3 ports. You may have to wait for a software/firmware update.
