Is the "Erase USB Drive" option supposed to erase stock WebOS wallpapers and ringtones also?

I was just wondering if the Palm Pre "Erase USB Drive" option is supposed to erase the stock wallpapers and ringtones also? I recently tried this, thankfully after backing everything up from the Pre's USB drive, and it did erase every media file including the stock ringtones folder and wallpapers folder. Also, I'm guessing memos aren't text files since the memos still show after performing the erase? I tried searching for any posts stating information on what this option really does, but there were none.
This question was solved.

@solentice:
Yes, the Erase USB Drive option does exactly that, it erases everything saved on the USB portion of the device, including wallpapers and ringtones, much like formating a memory stick or thumb drive.
Memos are considered PIM data like contacts, calendar, and tasks and are saved to the Palm Profile. They are not deleted through Erase USB Drive. If you were to do an Erase Apps & Data or a Full Erase, when you sign back into your profile, they will re-download to your device. Text messages will not re-download as they are not saved to the Palm Profile.
Here's a helpful website to help determine what information is stored where:

Thanks! It actually worked . I had uninstalled iTunes but not the drivers, and it didn't work but perfect! Now I can actuallty do stuff.

USB Recording - requirements for the external USB drive

What are the requirements for the external USB drive to be recognised by the TV?
I've tried two now, which can both be seen by the TV to show media, but neither are recognised by the TV to be used as USB Recording space.

Hi,
I have a similar question.
I have a 40L6353 and I cannot seem to playback anything recorded onto USB.
I have tried a large 500 Gb Toshiba (USB powered) drive and 2 or 3 others such as an 8 Gb SanDisk and a smaller capacity non branded 500 Mb stick.
All of the above I have formatted in the TV. When I press record the pop-up staes that recording has started and when I press stop it asks me to confirm. When I go to the recorded list it shows the files but says that they are an unsupported file format!!
I can play videos and music transferred to another Toshiba 500 Gb drive by PC.
I have also tested the sticks and they pass the 2 on-screen tests and I believe when a stick is inserted I can pause live TV.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I have been trying to get this to work for over a week - if there is a fault I will need to go back to the vendor but I want to be sure it isn't operator error.
Thanks in advance.

Time Machine will not let me restore from backups after June, 2013. I can see the files on the external hard drive but Time Machine skips all of them and goes back to June, 2013. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?

telling me to buy a new router is NOT a solution.
And why not? Apple is selling these things like BigMacs. They can't make enough of them. You've been suffering since May because you refuse to get a decent router.
Can you imagine if a company that makes a refrigerator told me that I needed to upgrade my electrical system to rectify a problem with their device? What kind of response IS that?!?!
What if the problem with their device is that it requires a new-fangled "grounded" outlet and your circa 1890 house doesn't have grounded outlets. Would you refuse to purchase a $ 25 adapter on principle?

I am unable to view any of m purchases via the Quick link 'Purchase' option. I do have an account and I am connect to the iTunes store.

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
You might also try signing out of itunes and back in (Settings App > itunes & App Store)

Is there a possibility to download files directly to the external usb drive in Firefox for Android?

I have the Android device that support external usb hard drive, when I want to download some files via Firefox there are only two possible "places" where I can put the files - external memory or SD card. It will be nice if there would be an option to save file on ext. usb drive.

Hi Nix_N1:
Yeah I don't know about this and I don't have an Android device that supports USB storage.
What Android device are you using and what operating system (Jellybean? Ice Cream sandwich ?)
I asked the Mozilla QA folks and they said Firefox for Android uses the Android platform download directory so the USB drive *should* show up if it registers properly with Android.
They suggested the following:
# removing the SD card and seeing if it shows up in place of the SD card.
# perhaps changing the following preference (type "about:config" in the url bar without the quotation marks)
''' browser.download.dir'''
will fix it ('''WARNING:untested and unsupported but hopefully this might help''')
Regardless I suggest filing a bug at (I looked but couldn't find a bug that corresponds to this):

USB drives not found after erasing them: iMac.

I had a couple of USB drives that showed empty but had almost zero capacity. I erased them via Utilities. Fine. (didn’t get to the part about emptying Trash….doh.
Now my iMac does not show the drives in Finder (although I get a reminder to eject msg when I remove it).
The drive is recognized on my Macbook.
So now I can’t use my memory sticks in my iMac.
How can I get the iMac to recognise the sticks?

Finder preferences not shown, but see attached. The stick is seen in finder and is mounted, but not in Devices.

Why is Apple limiting the power of the iPad USB drive?

Can anyone provide an intelligent reason why Apple has forced the USB drive's power to be limited on the iPad? I would just like to know to hopefully reduce my current frustration with Apple.
Thanks to whomever may have the actual answer to this...

I remember reading somewhere that you can't use a memory card reader on the iPad. So, I decided to experiment. I have two card readers, one USB powered and the other AC power adapter powered.
The USB powered reader got the same message you received.
The AC powered didn't get the message, however, the SD icon did not appear on the iPad screen. There must be some circut in the camera connection kit adapter or internal to the iPad that precludes the use of a memory card reader.
You need to use the camera connection kit as it is intended - via camera USB cable connection or SD card. Not sure what options are available when the camera doesn't connect or the camera uses a card other than SD.

USB Drive is treated as an Alias without original and without owner !!!

After not being able to use a Formac analog to digital video converter I thought that installing in parallel Leopard only for that converter would finish th problems with Snow Leopard.
Wishful thinking !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even worse happens now to me! An external Iomega USB drive appears under the disk utility with "NO OWNER" mention. When trying to open this hard drive (I see its icon in the desktop) a message saying that this "Alias cannot be opened since the original cannot be found" comes. It says I should either delete this "Alias" or apply it to the proper object. However when trying to apply it to the Iomega Drive this operation is impossible. The hard drive in the list of files appears pale pictured and cannot be clicked. I do not understand what Snow Leopard does but it makes a lot of a mess with hardware working perfectly previously under Leopard.
I do hope Apple brings soon a service pack!!!

After a little more research I found the solution to this issue. For some strange reason, the "Alias" bit on the drive got turned on. This is not visible under normal circumstances. I downloaded a copy of Path Finder which gives more detail than the standard OS X Finder. When I did a Get Info on the drive it showed the Alias Bit option. I unchecked the box and problem resolved.

How do I format an 8 gig Lexar USB drive so it is visible by both MAC and PC?

I edit a weekly 60 min TV show and need to save the show file to the USB.
The show file is over 4 gigs.
after placing the show file on the USB I take it to the TV station where they are trying to open the USB and transfer the show file into a playback syatem which is on a PC platform. The PC is not recognizing the USB drive.

>4 GB presents a problem because the default FAT format of the drive won't work with files that size. You have to use Mac extended or Windows NTFS and then also buy third party software to enable the Mac to read NTFS or the PC to read Mac formatting.
NTFS drivers for Mac - e.g., Paragon or Tuxera
Tuxera NTFS 2012.3.2 - http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/33122/tuxera-ntfs
NTFS for Mac OS X 9.5.3 - http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/26288/ntfs-for-mac-os-x

Bridge cs6 export - only hard drive option is present. I want ftp and social network module

I want to export my images right from the bridge. Uploading them to different social sites and ftps is a bit of a hassle and it is easy to forget something in the process. It would be so much better if I could just drag files to desired locations/presets.
I've seen something like that in the blogs (but with lower version of CS) where people have facebook and other options. But I can see only hard drive module.
Is it possible? If so - why don't I have this option? What can I do?

If you don’t see the four modules, click the flyout menu and choose “Manage Modules.”
Make sure all four are checked. If you don’t see the four listed, click the little gear, and from ITS flyout menu, choose “Check for Updates.” When you’re through, click the small “Done” button at the bottom to return to the Export Panel main window.
You can start using the export modules directly, but every time you use them you’ll have to go through a long export process. Use presets to streamline this operation, by saving all the work for re-use. You can create multiple presets; for example, you might have several presets for Facebook depending on whether you want to send the images to your wall, or a specific album. We’ll step through the Facebook setup first.
In the Export Panel, highlight “Facebook” and click on the “+” icon at the bottom to Add a new Preset.
The “Add Preset” dialog appears, and the first thing you will need to do is authenticate with Facebook. Note that you will need to authenticate every time you create a new preset, even with the same service, but you won’t need to authenticate when you actually export your images. Click on “Sign In.”
Two things happen: Your browser will be launched, and you’ll see the authentication page from Facebook. You’ll need to enter your credentials, and you can check “Keep me logged in to Adobe Bridge Export Panel.”
Etc. etc.
You can follow the rest of the instructions here:

How do i format my usb drive so that it works with both mac and pc?

if you could please explain the process that would be extremly helpful...thanks!
iMac 17" Mac OS X (10.4.8)
iMac 17" Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Please search the discussions before posting. Your question has been asked and answered many times. It could save you time in the future.
Attach the drive to the PC and format it as FAT. Or use Disk Utility on the Mac and format it as "MS-DOS" which is in fact FAT.
