I've got a SanDisk Cruzer with U3, I want to get it to work with Mozzila Fire, becuase of my bookmarks!

I've been using Windows on my Computor for a long time but i am starting to use Firefox more! The Question is that i have got a SanDisk Cruzer thumb drive with the U3, and i save all my passwords and bookmoarks on the drive. So the question is where can i get the software for the U3 Mozzila Firefox to work with the drive? I'm getting to have more bad issues with Windows. Would use Firefox more if i can get it to work with my thumbdrive! So can you get me in the right direction, if it is still available.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U3 <br />
SanDisk began phasing out support for U3 Technology in late 2009
U3 Firefox hasn't been updated in quite awhile. <br />

Portable Apps has been far more popular. <br />

I got this iphone for xmas and i want to get service for it without having a contract can i do thhat

I got this iphone for xmas and I want to get it acctivated. But I dont wanna have a contract. can I do that?

It many places, including the US, Yes.
Here is a list of supported carriers: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937
Talk to one in your country and see what's available.
In the US, AT&T is the only supported GSM carrier. They will not allow you to use pre-paid plans on the iPhone, but they do have post paid plans that are strictly month to month and can be cancelled at any time.

I use a SanDisk Cruzer with U3 Launchpad. I've had to stay with Firefox v3.6.26 because anything more recent doesn't allow the U3 Launchpad to work. Any suggestions?

OS Win7. I've used this USB drive for some time as a secure method to hold passwords I don't use often. When I first updated from Firefox v3 -- whichever version that was at the time -- to a v4 the U3 Launchpad failed to work. I tried every work around I could find on the Internet. Nothing was successful. I know this software is no longer supported. Whether it is supported should define whether it works. I find that to be an unacceptable excuse. I no longer support my daughter but she still works. She's a far more complicated machine than a PC and a piece of software.

Sorry, U3 versions of Firefox weren't made by Mozilla. That version is a modified version of Firefox made by a 3rd party and that 3rd party is responsible for its' support. I have never used it and can't help you with it.
Have you considered switching to Firefox Portable, which is made by the crew over at Portable Apps? <br />

Portable Apps has been around a lot longer than U3 Launchpad was, and is still operating and growing with the number of available Apps.

Buying new printer - want to get one that works with TC

I've seen plenty of posts about printers that don't work with TC, and a list of obsolete printers that do work.
Before I buy a new laser printer, can anyone recommend one that will work properly?

HP2300 seems to be obsolete, at least here in the UK.
I've currently got 2 printers:
Kodak AIO 5300 won't work at all - plenty of posts about this printer not working.
Samsung ML-1510 laser - some doubt about this one. I'll try it later today.
I suppose that it'd be better to get a proper network printer and connect it directly to my Netgear router. How good are Macs at working with "proper" network printers, via ethernet connection?

HT5624 Got a new iphone 5 today, how do I get Facebook to work on it? It keeps taking me to the iphone store or itunes store, and I enter everything and there is still no FB icon. Although when I use SIRI it posts to my FB page. Any thoughts?

I just bought an iphone 5 and am trying to put my facebook page on it, it keeps taking me back to the itune store, and all my passwords are correct, but there is no icon to touch on. SIRI works and posts to my FB page, how do I get the FB page to the phone though?

This is a user to user support forum. We are all iphone users just like you.
You are not addressing Apple here at all.
This is an odd way to ask your fellow iphone users for help. Berating oterh users will not help you.
"it's too fragile"
No it is not. i have never damaged one, nor has anyone I know.
" U loose data when Ur phone is locked"
No you don't. Why do you think this?
"and there is no customer support!!! "
Wrong yet again. Apple has an 800 number and they have many retail stores and they have support articles that you can access using the search bar. Or you can contact them throgh express lane online
"but I will go back with Blackberry "
Please do.
Good ridance

HT204135 I have a Brother Printer 465CN model and I want to get it to work with my hard-wired Mac Pro via a connection to the network at home with Ethernet Cables run through my router. I cannot get the Brother Printer to print any jobs. Can anyone help

I am running OS X Lion, by the way. Could anyone provide support due to a similar situation that may have happened to them or they have experienced with their MAC?

Problems with Sandisk Cruzer flash drive

I've never used a flash drive before but I recently bought a 4GB SanDisk Cruzer flash drive to use for temporary backups of photo images. When I first inserted it into the USB port of my Mac Mini PPC G4 it wouldn't show up in the finder. I called SanDisk and they told me to reformat the drive using Disk Utility's OS Mac Extended which I did. The drive then worked fine. Recently I dragged all the photos saved on the drive to the trash and attempted to save about a 100 new photos to it and I got an insufficient space error message. As there should have been plenty of room for these photos I was puzzled by this and wound up reformatting the drive again in hopes that it would solve the problem, which it did. Am I doing something wrong here, and if not, any idea what's forcing me to to reformat the drive every time I want to add new files to it?
Thanks,
Win

As simple as it sounds, one has to ask first...
When you dragged items from the flash drive to the Trash
or had highlighted them all, and used Move to Trash... Did
you Empty the Trash - and clear the items from the flash?
The usual issues are with unmounting the USB flash,
and when moving a lot of content, the time lag; so a
few knowns continue to be similar with most users.
Once in awhile, you may get a defective item, and if that
happens right away, some retail vendors will exchange
the one that does not work with another, or credit back
if bought on a card and you can choose to try elsewhere.
Reformatting the USB flash drive is often a last resort;
but that should've fixed the basic problem. If flash acts
up you can also use Get Info on the item to see if it says
there is a content being held there after you've thought
to trash the files associated with its use.
Good luck & happy computing!

My iPhoto photo library disappeared after I used a SanDisk Cruzer Fit USB Flash Drive

Hi! Not sure if these 2 things are connected, but I bought a SanDisk Cruzer 32GB USB Flash Drive. I dragged my documents over and copied them on to the flash drive. I didn't have iPhoto open. I didn't drag any applications, photo library folders, or anything else over to the flash drive. I just dragged over 3 file folders of work and personal documents (MSWord, Excel, etc.) over to the flash drive. It took some time to copy all my documents over, so I left it overnight.
The next day, I decided it might be a good idea to also back up my photos from iPhoto. Interestingly enough, nearly all my photos had been deleted--save for photos from the last 3 - 4 weeks or so. That's right, a decade worth of photos were gone. I went online, Googled the problem, looked through this community and verified that I did not accidentally import one library into another or move (or delete) the backup iPhoto Library folder or anything. I even checked the flash drive. Nothing. Just the 3 folders worth of documents that I'd copied over.
Has anyone heard of a flash drive somehow corrupting or deleting photos from an iPhoto library?
I'm stumped. I have dug through other regular folders where I'd stashed some .jpgs so I could burn a CD for family, so I have put back about 338 photos from a library of thousands of images (some which are, of course, irreplaceable). The irony is that this last year, I'd been scanning in photos from actual physical photo albums to digitize them and have them handy on iPhoto... not knowing that they would disappear. And, of course, the double-irony is that I was using a thumb drive to back up my photos when they disappeared. If I wasn't so bummed, I'd be laughing right now.

Thanks for the helpful thoughts LarryHN. I'm having a Mac guy look at my MacBook Pro in the next day or so to see what he can find out. I described the issue on the phone... and like you, he said that saving my documents to a thumb drive shouldn't affect my iPhoto library.
One reason I bought the thumb drive was to back up my iPhoto library, but the time I got to that, it was already gone. I've thought of getting Time Machine (and have checked out other systems), but the reviews are so mixed, I'm dragging my feet on coughing up the cash right now.
When I launch iPhoto, I only see the last few weeks' worth of photos. Oddly, photos I imported 3 weeks ago appear, but are in a folder dated November 2012--when I know I took those and imported them in January 2013. So that's weird...
When I got to iPhoto Library, I have an Auto Import folder with nothing in it. "My Pictures" folder has nothing as well. I did hold down the option key while opening up iPhoto, but only my recent library (a few weeks' worth of photos) appears. I'm using iPhoto 2011 (6.2.3). I can only hope my Mac guy can help...

My Sandisk cruzer thumb drive 4.0GB (which is very old, roughly 10 years and I'm not sure about the model) reads "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" when inserted in my Macbook pro 2010. How do I get it to work?

My Macbook Pro 2010 with the latest OS does not open a particular Sandisk Cruzer 4.0GB (which is an old model, about 10 years) thumbdrive with the message "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer". Will I be able to read it on my macbook?

Is it readable in a Windows computer? If not then you can try Disk Utility to repair the drive-- although that may be dangerous too.
I haven't had this problem so I out of safe ideas. There are ustilies out there. I used the seach term "repair flash drive Mac OS X" to locate some of these.
If the data is essential there are pay-for services to recover data looked the price was in the range $50 - $1000
All the best.

New SanDisk Cruzer Switch 8GB Won't Mount Properly

I bought two brand new SanDisk Cruzer Switch 8GB USB flash drives yesterday, but neither of them will mount on my Mac. When I insert one, it appears briefly in Finder, but after about 30 seconds it unmounts itself, and gives me the message that the disk was not ejected properly. I have tried reformatting in Disk Utility but there isn't enough time before it unmounts.
I have another SanDisk 32GB which works fine.
Normally I would write this off as one bad apple, but it's happening with both the new drives..? Should I just take them both back? An extensive Google has revealed nothing of value.

you already tried all the tricks, so the last thing to do is to call Acer support service.

Product name: HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC, unable to take the recovery set using sandisk cruzer 32GB

I am unable to take the recovry set through HP Recovery Manager by using New SANDISK CRUZER SWITCH (32 GB)
It is prompting to insert the USB drive or Disks, once i insert the USB drive its not moving to further steps.
Please rectify this problem
Regards,
Jagannadha Raju

If you are running Windows 8 and you are using a flash drive that has the Windows 8 compatibility icon that could very likely be the problem. It is a known issue and last I heard on it HP is working on a patch/update for Recovery Manager. If it has been released it should be on your driver page. If not I suggest trying an older flash drive with no Win 8 compatibilty icon.

SanDisk Cruzer 8Gb Thumb Drive treated as camera - iPhoto launch...

Hello all.
Recently got a new SanDisk Cruzer 8Gb Thumb Drive, usually these drives are pre-formatted to run on both Win PC and Macs.
When I plug the drive into my iMac at home or my MacBook, iPhoto will launch, regardless if I have files in it... normally I would have jpeg picture files, and once in a while, some movie files. All these times, iPhoto will launch, treating it like a camera.
The interesting thing is when I launch Image Capture, inside the thumb drive info, it is listed as a camera!
So how do I or how can I go about it changing the thumb drive's "identity" from a camera to a thumb/flash drive?
Thanks and cheers

So how do I or how can I go about it changing the thumb drive's "identity" from a camera to a thumb/flash drive?
Reformat it to something different using Disk Utility. The reason iPhoto/Image Capture is making the mistake is because it's the same format as a camera.
Or
iPhoto -> Preferences -> General -> Connecting Camera Opens... and choose 'No Application' from the drop down. This way nothing will happen when you connect the card unless you manually launch iPhoto or Image Capture.

Issues re: using SanDisk Cruzer Mini flash drives on a Mac

Given some strange behavior, I'm wondering whether SanDisk Cruzer Mini flash drives cause known problems when used with Macs.
Two problems I've had:
1. Not being able to re-save edited Word documents back to the flash drive without first renaming those files. If I try to re-save a document in the normal way (i.e., by just clicking 'Save' to overwrite the existing version on the drive) I get error messages about 'permissions.'
2. Getting 'insufficient disk space' error messages when trying to save to the flash drive, even though according to Get Info the flash drive still has plenty of space left.
Also, does completely wiping a flash drive using 'zero disk' (in Disk Utility or other programs) work exactly the same on a flash drive as on a hard drive?
Thanks.

It would seem SanDisk Cruzers and Macs have some compatibility problems. You are the second person with problems in two days. I'm not sure why you should have the problems you describe as USB flash drives should just work. I can suggest you try repartitioning and formatting the drive for the Mac rather than using the FAT32 format that usually is how the flash drives come from the factory. Try the following:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the drop down menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
This may help, but if you plan to use the flash drive on a Windows machine, then you will need to restore it to the FAT32 format.
And, yes, zeroing the disk works the same on flash drives as on hard drives.

Create Lion startup on Sandisk Cruzer?

I'd like to create a Lion startup disk on an 8GB Sandisk Cruzer USB flash drive for the sole purpose of running Disk Warrior on my main startup drive without having to boot from the DW DVD (which is painfully slow).
Suggestions?
I have re-partitioned the Cruzer with one (1) GUID partition, and Disk Utility indicates it has a capacity of 7.14GB, with 7.63GB available (yes, that's not a typo), and that the GUID partition is only 7.14GB. I am wondering why the single partition can't use more of the flash drive.
I created an installation of Lion on a 80GB USB drive, then added Disk Warrior, but because of the smaller partition, I have been unable to use DU to "Restore" from the "utility system" to the flash drive.
Ideas?

I have three of those little flash drives, all SandDisk Cruzers. I simply connected them, opened Disk Utility, and immediately formatted them. I did not bother to check if there was anything on the drive since I was not interested in it. I then used the instructions to create a bootable Lion install on one and the recovery assistant on the second (the third is brand new and I just formatted it - see screenshots below). There were/are no Sandisk folders on my hard drive, nor did I have a problem formatting them or using the restore function.
For the OP:
Initial screenshot:
After formatting:
(the disk1s1 is greyed out - not mounted - contains several MB of files and is named EFI, so that is the firmware. This results in the "regular" disk to only have 7.63 GB available).

BIOS Update for Thinkpad (x121e) in order to make Sandisk Cruzer Extreme finally bootable?

Hello,
will there every be a BIOS update for Thinkpads (in my case x121e) so that it (the BIOS of the thinkpad) will finally be able to recognize and therefore boot from usb flash drives / sticks like Sandisk Cruzer Extreme???
(Once the OS is running, the drive is recognized just fine, but that's not what I'm here for.)
My old desktop pc from 2006 has no problems with such a "modern" drive, but my 5 years younger x121e isn't able to boot from that drive? Come on, Lenovo, you can do better, at least you should...!
I'm not sure, if that is the right place for such an inquiry, but as Lenovo apparently doesn't offer a proper support e.g. by email, I just try it this way. I once use the support by phone, only to find out that the lady on the other end had no clue whatsoever of computers and was just looking up answers in her system, which were, of course, not at all helpful.
So, for now, this is my only hope, that someone from the technical team at Lenovo reads this and gets the BIOS programmers to work...
Cheers,
Mike
[btw: I read about a similar entry where the guy finally marked his problem as solved just because he used another usb stick to boot the first one. That's not a solution, that's a work-around. I'm looking for a solution (= BIOS update), not a work-around!]

Hi, I have an x120e and when I get into the BIOS > Startup > Boot, I see the following list:
Boot Priority Order
1. ATA HDD0 Samsung SSD 830 Series (my main disk)
2. USB HDD SanDisk Cruzer Fit (a tiny usb drive that is always attached and holds assorted files)
3. USB CD
4. USB FDD
5. PCI LAN
The device can indeed boot from a USB stick. I think you will have to follow this order of events: first attach the USB you want to boot from, yet boot only from your main hard drive, to let the system recognize the attached USB drive and put it in the Boot Priority Order list, then shutdown, restart and get into BIOS. F1: to either to change the ordering in the list to put USB FDD or USB HDD SanDisk first) or F12 (I think): to choose a temp device to boot from. Or....... (another thought), the USB you want to boot from hasn't yet been made "bootable" (I think you may have to go into diskpart > etc to set it active) so isn't recognized in BIOS.
I've used a USB flash drive with my recovery partition on it to restore to factory state. That was also a Sandisk Cruzer USB. I've also booted directly into a WinPE sort of environment using another bootable USB made for the purpose of restoring from system images. Mine is an x120e; your x121e can't be much different.
Cheers!

I've got a SanDisk Cruzer with U3, I want to get it to work with Mozzila Fire, becuase of my bookmarks!
