IPod mounts via Firewire, but not via USB

My wife's iPod used to mount just fine via the USB connector on her PC.
Now it doesn't mount at all via USB. I have tried two different cables.
It DOES mount via my own Firewire cable.
I have updated the iPod mini software to the latest, and the iTunes to the latest.
Any ideas why USB no longer works?
Thanks

I wanted to get rid of this one since nobody answered. I think the 3G is simply broken. It works fine via firewire, and now I use it as a stationary music server -- the battery was too old for regular use. I bought a 5G.

Probably not. How's your 3G connection? I ask because I've had issues when the 3G connection isn't strong. Same with WiFi too, actually.

LaCie HD does not mount via Firewire, but does via USB (in Tiger)

I've read various posts on issues people faced when using a LaCie firewire HD after upgrading to Tiger. I never had any issues pre upgrade. I have installed the new firmware on my d2 250GB drive, at least I think I have. The drive will not mount when connected via firewire, but will when connected via USB. When I try running the update tool, it sees the drive and says there is no update available. Just to be clear, this is when the drive is connected via USB. The tool does not see the drive when connected via Firewire.
My firewire is definitely working fine (tested with iSight).
I've emailed LaCie, we'll see if that leads to anything. Any ideas???

My Lacie ethernet mini is not working after Lion upgrade.
Finally got an admission from Lacie that the login software won't work with 10.7 and they suggested going back to Snow Leopard . . .
Apparently the login software cannot be changed or overwritten so now Lacie drives are obsolete when using Lion.
I wish there was a way to wipe it clean and use it without the login software, but they couldn't suggest a way.
I note you may have had better luck but I don't know how to use terminal, so I may have to junk it, or possibly take out the drive and buy a caddy for it?

Other PC can access internet via cable but not via wireless.

Hi, I am new here. But I have a question hopefully someone can help to answer. I juts got myself signed up for one of those portable USB modem that you can use anywhere and you use a phone sim card to access the internet. I connect the usb device to my desktop computer and use a linksys wireless router to connect to other pc in the house. My problem is that the internet can be access by other pc's if I connect the other pc's via a network cable but no internet all if I connect via wireless. Any reason why it work via cable and not via WIFI? Is it the setting inside the router that is not set correctly. I pretty much left the setting on factory default except for the wireless network name. Any help to explain why this is happening is much appreciated. Thanks. Alex

Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device: - Open
an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave username blank & in password use admin
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on
the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' to select the
extracted/uncompressed .img or .bin file and click on "Upgrade"-Wait for few seconds ....
It shows that "Upgrade successful" After
the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back
to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Reset the router for few seconds ....
Reconfigure it ....

My mac mini will connect via airport but not via ethernet.

I have had a mac mini for several months which I connect via ethernet because it is in a part of my house where the wireless signal is poor. I changed ISP and now I can connect to the router wirelessly but not via ethernet. This doesn't seem to be a problem with the network as the connection works when I connect it to my mac book. Firewall is turned off. There were no major changes to the router settings other than changing the ISP login codes.
Any ideas? Is this a configuration issue or a hardware problem?

Hi Mick,
If your router only supports 10/100 ethernet then it is possible that the auto-detect feature is not working properly to adjust to that speed. The mini has a Gigabit ethernet port. The OS by default sets the port to automatically negotiate the rate but it does not always work and the result is the problem you are having.
To fix it you wlll have to manually set the rate to 100.
To do this, open your system preferences, Select Network. Highlight the ethernet port on the sidebar, click the advanced button. Click on the Ethernet Tab, set the configure pop-up menu item to 100baseTX and click the ok button. If all works out you should see that the Ethernet port icon should turn green.
Hope this helps.

IPod charges with firewire but sporadic with USB

I haven't had problems charging wiith the Apple firewire charger with my 20G 4G iPod. But, when I bought a USB car charger and AC adapter, it seems the iPod only charges when it feels like it which is sporadic, no pattern. If fact, when it's not acting like it's charging, the battery seems to drain. I can't figure this one out and I haven't been able to find a post with a similar issue. Does anyone know what's going on? Thanks.

2nd Gen Nano: Charges on Firewire, but not on USB. Any clues?

2nd Gen Blue iPod Nano will charge on a Firewire connection, but not on a USB connection.
Thus...when connecting this Windows Format iPod to my PowerPC G4 through a USB cord, it won't charge OR interact with iTunes in any way.
Since it's a factory settings iPod,
it is well charged with zero content
I've reset the iPod (Center + Menu for 6 seconds) several times...it rebuilds, restarts, but is "still blind" to the USB connection (ie, won't charge; won't connect to iTunes).
I've also tried 4 different USB cords (which work fine with other iPods) with my "still blind" Nano, but....no go!
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hmmm....Tried this; no go.
When plugging the USB 2.0 cord into a USB port, the iPod screen lights up, but the charging icon does not come on; and iTunes does not "see" the iPod. The iPod eventually sleeps. Changing ports (with nothing else plugged in other than power) wakes up the iPod, the screen LCD comes on, times out and goes off....and then the iPod sleeps. (Again...when I plug this iPod into a Firewire cord, the charging icon comes on and the iPod actually recharges. Its the only way to keep the iPod charged while I keep testing it).
Hmmmm....

Able to connect via airport but not via ethernet since fresh install

New format and reinstall of OS X. Software update to 10.4.5. Now I need to use ethernet and I get an error. I did NOT have ethernet attached when doing the install.
This used to work before the reinstall. I have tried different cables and different ports attached to the D-Link router (I use DSL).
Other computers on the net (iMac G5 via ethernet and Windows via Wireless) have no problems.
I have tried the network assistant, renewing DHCP lease (which does not work), manual config, ifconfig up and down and even tried to reapply the 10.4.5 update but to no avail. I have even rebooted (Ugh) several times.

What now? - I really don't feel like reinstalling with en0 connected just to fix this
Thanks for any advice

I would attempt to find a Windows machine to set it up as Samsung's Mac software is abysmal.
However I have found this step by step on an Amazon review, I don't know if it will work:
1. Setup the physical printer machine according to manual. Then connect it your Macbook via USB. Make sure the printer is powered on and verify the Macbook is powered on with wireless network Access.
2. Insert the supplied software CD and double click on the CD from your desktop.
3. Double click and execute to Mac_installer folder >Installer OS X icon.
4. Complete the license agreement and installation steps.
5. This will be a standard install without the wireless option. This is your only option. You will not be given a chance to do the wireless installation like in the Windows version install.
6. Enter in the admin password to install the software.
7. Once the software confirmation screen pops up to confirm your installation was successful, proceed to DISconnect your USB connection to you Samsung Printer.
8. In case you missed it, Disconnect the USB connection between your Samsung printer and Macbook.
9. Navigate to Applications > Utilities >Print Setup Utility (For Mac OS X 10.5 - 10.7) Navigate to Applications > System preferences > Print & Fax.
10. Click Add on the printer list (For Mac OS X 10.5 - 10.7, click the PLUS sign) and new display will pop up.
11. On the "Default" Tab of the pop up display, select or highlight the Samsung printer. In the printer name column, it should be listed as "Samsung ML-2160 Series (NNNN)", then in the Kind column, It should be listed as "Bonjour"
Note: DO NOT select the Samsung Printer with the "USB" in the Kind column. This Samsung printer - USB option should only be selected if you intend to print from USB.
12. Click ADD, then select continue to create the print queue.
13. Now open up any word document with text and print a test page.

I'm able to connect via wifi but not via ethernet

DB Link - works via SQL but not via packages

I have a database link on user ODB on database A, to database B. The DB Link seems fine for SQLs that i do, but doesn't compile in my package code. Please tell me why it works for "regular sqls" but not inside a package.
Example: while connected as ODB user on database A, if I do this query:
SELECT "TRAXDOC_DETAIL"."FILE_NAME",
"TRAXDOC_DETAIL"."FILE_TYPE",
FROM "TRAXDOC_DETAIL"@TRAXDOC_LINK
WHERE "TRAXDOC_DETAIL"."TRAXDOC_ROW_ID" = 100031 AND
"TRAXDOC_DETAIL"."TRAXDOC_LINE"= 2
It works fine. But the same query inside a package that is owned by user ODB on database A will not compile, stating the table/view does not exist.
The database link is owned by use ODB on database A, connects directly to the owner of the tables in question on database B.
Any suggestions welcome... this is an urgent issue, because it also worked fine on my customer's test environment, but not on their Production that they just upgraded. I need to know what to look for as to what could be wrong.

Thanks so much for your response - Prefixing the call to the table within the package, with the schema owner does indeed solve the problem. Since this is a Production issue, i have implemented this fix in my customer's database.
However, I would still like this issue permanently resolved. The next time we send out updated package code, this will happen again (unless we then fix it again). I'd still like info from anyone on what exactly must be done to allow the call within the package to work without specifically pre-fixing the table's schema owner. It shouldn't be needed... The DB link is connecting via the same schema on database B that owns the table in question.
pre-fixing the schema owner is something we don't do in our sql statements, and this has worked fine for many of our cusomer's environments. We're only seeing this issue on one environment.

IPod mounts on desktop but not in iTunes

The problem started with a system extension error message (below). From an old posting elsewhere it is suggested that an errant DiskWarrior icons file gets inserted in the IOStorageFamily.ktext file, causing mount problems with USB devices. It happens I had tried running an outdated version of DiskWarrior earlier today. In any event I followed the posting's advice to "show Package Contents" so as to delete the Preview.icns file. Did that but didn't fix the problem.
I've repaired permissions and have reset my 4th gen. Nano. Am using iTunes 10.1.2 Here's the error message:
The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/IOStorageFamily.ktext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update."
If only I knew how (or who). Help please!

Aha. Solved the problem myself by reinstalling iTunes. I needed only to pay more heed to the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant suggested.

Can connect via ODBC but not via SQL Developer?

Hi, all.
My setup:
Windows XP Pro
JDK 1.6
SQL Developer 2.1.1.64.45
I'm attempting to connect to an Oracle DB using OS authentication and trying hand-entry of the host and SID; and also trying my TNS file. When I attempt to connect via SQL Developer, I get the following error:
"Status : Failure -Test failed: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied."
When I attempt this same connection, however, using ODBC and Access, I can get right in and see the tables.
What can I try in order to get SQL Developer working correctly?
Thanks,
IVR Avenger

I'm not really familiar with connections Using OS authentication, but if OCI+TNS based connections work you could try to activate OCI connections by selecting
Preferences -> Database -> Advanced -> Use OCI/Thick Driverand then use the TNS connection type when creating your connection.
It should work well even with the thin driver but i cannot help you in this case because i've never had to use this kind of authentication.

Can connect via Ethernet but not via AirPort

I'm having some problems using my AirPort in Germany. I can connect just fine using an Ethernet cable direct from the modem (NETGEAR DG632B) but when I have plug the Ethernet cable into the AirPort I can't connect. I beleive it has to do with PPoE settings, which I am not really familiar with.
There are three spots I can enter my account info. 1, on the modem itself via Safari; 2, on the AirPort via AirPort Admin Utility; 3, on the Mac via Network Preferences. I have input my PPoE username/password into the modem while directly connected. I would tend to think that this shoudl be it and that everywhere on the LAN side of the modem would be able to utilize that account. The NETGEAR settings page shows the ADSL port Network Type as PPPOE and the LAN port as DHCP, so I have attempted to set up my AirPort and Network prefs using DHCP. That leads to "You are not connected to the Internet. Safari can’t open the page “http://www.google.com/” because your computer isn’t connected to the Internet." Network Diagnostics shows green at AirPort, AirPort Settings, Network Settings and ISP. It initially shows yellow at Internet and Server which lead to "Failed" on both. Network Diagnostics then asks me to choose my network port configuration (Built-in Ethernet, Internal Modem, Airport,Other). I select AirPort and select my AirPort network. Then all the Status lights except for AirPort turn red and asks if I use a DSL or cable model. I select yes, it asks me to restart the device, I do, it asks if I can restart any other devices, I select no. At that point Network Diagnostics says it is unable to connect to the Internet.
I have down-graded to Airport Firmware v5.5.1 as some have advised. No change. I'm running MacOS 10.4.6
My AirPort is just fine as I can use it to set up a LAN with no problem. I even pulled out my old Graphite base station and tried it. Same thing.
I have tried putting my PPPoE account info into my AirPort, my Network prefs both individually and both at the same time. Nothing. Is there something that I'm missing?

You'll need to connect your modem to your AEBS WAN port, configure your AEBS with the Airport Admin Utility, setting up the PPOE to properly log into your modem connection.
You should set up your mac to us DHCP (not PPOE).
THis should allow you to use either the ethernet port or wireless from your AEBS.
I hope this helps!

IPods mount on desktop but not in iTunes

We have two iPod Nanos (5G and a 3G) and while they both appear on my Mac desktop - neither appear in iTunes 10.0.1
I've plugged in using front and back USBs, trashed the kext file, re-installed the whole app then checked for firmware updates (which were all current). So does anyone have other ideas?
Many thanks,
Richard.

Well I've erased the device as described above and it still won't mount.
I actually went to the Apple Store as well and all they could suggest was the trashing of the applemobiledevice.kext and also support package which I'd already done.
Strangely though, before reinstalling iTunes 10 all over again, iTunes 4 started up and I noticed that the device mounted but when v10 was properly installed, it didn't so clearly this is a v10 issue.
I have two angry teenagers here!
