Is there USB 1.1 to USB 2.0 Upgrading Software-Patch?

Hello,
I wanted to buy External-DVD-Writer with USB connection,
all the models are *USB 2.0* specific,
my imac has *USB 1.1* on the computer and the keyboard,
sales person told me that there is *USB 2.0 UPGRADE* that i can download
and upgrade my *USB 1.1* to *USB 2.0*.
Is there such a download?
Thank you.

Hello, 
It would be far better to purchase a Firewire External Drive. You cannot boot a PowerPC (G4) iMac from a USB drive and Firewire is faster for sustained transfers than USB2.0.
OWC DVD±RW DL Burner.
I would suggest that you shop elsewhere in future; this sales person clearly doesn't understand what they are trying to discuss(!).

  • Is there a way to disable usb sync?

    I have several corporate iphones that will contain sensitive data. We do not want the data on these units to be synced with unauthorized computers? Is there a way to disable usb hard wire sync?

    In iTunes go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced and select the option to prevent automatic syncing of iDevices when plugged in.

  • Is there an easier way to transfer your iTunes library on windows to a mac than copying the library to a usb and plugging the usb into the mac and put the library in the iTunes file

    is there an easier way to transfer your iTunes library on windows to a mac than copying the library to a usb and plugging the usb into the mac and put the library in the iTunes file? I recently swapped to Mac and this is how i moved the library from windows to mac and library is in tact but is there an easier way? My cousin just imported her cd's again, but it was harder for me as i have an ipod with over 150 apps and i needed to move them. i think it would be helpful if i knew of an easier way so i can help a friend move his. Thanks

    The general method of use is to download a script (double-click or right-click and use Download or Save As...) to a folder of your choice, e.g. your Desktop, Downloads folder or create a folder at ...\iTunes\Scripts. Select a playlist or highlight some tracks in iTunes and then double-click on the script to execute it. If no specific tracks are selected the script will try to work with all tracks in the current playlist or sometimes the entire library.

  • EOS 70D question - Is there live audio at the USB connector when recording video?

    I know that the current version of firmware that I use (1.1) passes no audio out the HDMI jack while recording.  Is there audio going out the USB jack that would go to the composite video adaptor cable while recording video?  If so, I could use an attenuator and feed that audio signal to my monitor to monitor the audio output of the camera.  Here is adaptor cable I have. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DPQ2XTC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
    Thanks!

    I have a solution, however this is for audio problems for conversations not for messaging. It may work for you too:
    Open your finder and click on the "Go" menu at the top.
    Then with it open, hold down the option key and the library menu option will show up, click on it (drag the folder over so you can easily access it later).
    In the library folder open: Application support > Skype > "Your Skype Unsername" folder (the one with YOUR username)
    Then you need to delete the config.xml file! After this restart Skype and the test call will work. Happy skyping!!!
    If this does not work then try deleting skype and re installing.

  • Is there any way to disable USB charging on N8?

    It might be a strange question. But many time, my battery still nearly full and I just want to transfer a couple of files. When I plug the cable in, it start charging right away. This may makes battery deteriorate faster. Therefore, is there any way to disable USB charging? Thanks!

    charging by usb isn't a problem , modern batteries do not suffer 'memory effect' just do what you want to do and don't worry about it . My N97 is connected to laptop most nights for anything from 10 minutes to an hour , no battery problem in 18 months and left on charge overnight every night . Enjoy your new phone and don't worry about a problem that doesn't exist

  • How to use iPad (4th gen) to edit with iMovie - but using an external source such as a USB stick or external USB hard drive

    Want to use my iPad (4th gen) to edit a movie using iMovie - easy enough if the movie file is on the iPad - but what if it's too large - can I keep the source file on a USB stick or external USB hard drive and edit from there?  How can you do this?

    You can't export any type of file using the camera connection kit, so a USB flash drive or SD card won't work.
    There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
    The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
    Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
    Another option:

  • Why do USB drives plugged into USB hubs make my Mac Book Pro (Retina late 2013) wake from sleep?

    I have 2 x USB hubs, a Logitech USB 2.0 hub and a Broway USB 3.0 hub. Tested both and both seem to be the cause of my late 2013 Mac Book Pro waking from sleep. I ran syslog to find out why (syslog |grep -i "Wake reason") and the reason I got back was "kernel[0] <Notice>: Wake reason: XHC1" - this means nothing to me, but it didn't take too much mucking about to hunt the problem down and figure out it was the USB hub with any USB drive attached. If the drive is attached directly to the computer. No problem, computer sleeps fine.
    This was a problem I encountered (and never solved) with OSX 10.6.8, a 2008 Macbook Pro the same Logitech USB 2.0 hub, but with different drives. I put the problem down to a bug that never got solved in an old system. But I am simply AMAZED after my update to a new MBP and new system that it is still about almost 6 years, a dozen MBP's and 4 systems later.
    The other problem is that not only does the USB drive/ USB hub combo wake the computer it also loses the drive upon sleep and mounts it again upon wake. Then repeats this process every couple of minutes. And it obviously doesn't eject the drives properly because each time I return to the computer after I put it to sleep or let it go to sleep I get a giant list of "Disk Not Ejected Properly" notifications about it. Which I'm guessing could eventually cause some file damage.
    I've tried combinations of different drives, different hubs (a Belkin and a no-name Chinese brand 2.0 hub) and the problem persists. Is there a solve to this problem? I'm surprised to see so little posts on forums about this. Am I just unlucky and got another combination of faulty/problematic hardware, or is this a real problem that exists for everyone? If not I would love to know if people have found winning combos of USB hubs and drives. But if it is, then it HAS to be solved.
    If you have a Macbook Pro, then you are limited to 2 USB outlets, this is obviously a bare minimum and I would say that 95% of people using their laptop computer in the office or at home have a hub, and very likely a USB drive attached to it. I know actual Apple reps don't really pay much attention to the community support posts, but I've got 6 months worth of Applecare left and would like suggestions about how to get Apple's attention about this problem.
    BTW Jettison (a 3rd party app that ejects drives properly before sleep) is not a solve. It is a 3rd party app that tries to fill a hole in a broken system. I don't want to eject my drive upon sleep, I want it to got the **** to sleep.

    Is there a pattern to the time of day or other detail that may be
    traced back to a OS X system cause of this odd phenomenon?
    Are there any copies of system files on any of the attached USB
    external drives? Any libraries, such as iTunes, iPhoto, etc?
    Once the drives are indexed by Spotlight, are their permissions
    ignored by the OS X? Content, if neutral, should not affect the
    wake or sleep cycle; especially if they're ignored by the OS X.
    Could there be a bad cable or other component? If so that would
    be a difficult process of elimination to detect it. Usually replacing
    most suspect components in the USB stream (external to Macs)
    is a rote way to mechanically test that idea; & not 100% sure.
    Does the equipment all have a good ground to the utility or house
    electrical field? An intermittent ground may affect more than sleep.
    Hard to say at this point. Maybe a late-night talk radio guru on
    remote viewing could peer into your situation and sleuth it out?
    Sorry to have run out of ideas, but the process must be electrical
    & mechanical to some extent. - Or perhaps odd software inspired.
    Do you have any phone-home spyware items inside, just jumping
    at the chance to spill your information? Little Snitch may help.
    PS: Perhaps the computer needs to go into Apple & have a genius
    or product specialist at AASP test the unit thoroughly... BlueTooth?

  • Connecting PC to USB Disk Drive on USB Hub

    I have set up a USB Hub on the Airport Extreme, the hub has a USB printer and a USB 250 GB Disk Drive.
    The iMac has wireless access to both the printer (bonjour) and the disk drive, as well as shared files from the PC.
    The PC has access to the internet, printer (through bonjour), but not the disk drive. I have been in the Airport Utility multiple times assigning access to the disk drive, by Disk Password, Base Station Password and by Account. But I always get the same error dialog box after attempting to connect.
    Airport Disk Agent:
    Unknown user, incorrect password or login is diabled. Please retype the login information or contact the disks administrator.
    Since the PC is connected to the Airport Extreme by ethernet cable, the PC has full administrator privaledges.

    Personally, I would not launch into a rant against Nokia about this as you have now done unless you have some evidence that it is actually their fault.
    I have only seen this problem with recent Nokia phones reported by just a couple of people and I have seen no evidence that it is strictly Nokia's fault - it may be so or it may not be. It does not seem to be widespread.
    If you do a Google search for "Error 633 Modem in use" you will see that the problem is encountered, seemingly randomly, by some users with a wide variety if devices not just phones as modems but other modems as well and all from a wide variety of manufacturers, not just Nokia.
    If you read through the thousands of Google links on the error 633 problem you will also see that there seems to be no well defined solution to it - seems to be encountered by small proportion of users of a device but not all so it would seem that there are usually local machine issues involved.
    In the end, as I set out, if it is important to you that you have the modem working I have found that for me with an N8 (Anna) it all works fine with Win XP installed in a virtual machine on the Win 7 64 PC.

  • T430S device manager: USB-IF x HCI USB host controller is not working properly

    Device status: This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)
    Pls help, thanks.

    Hey there wche5,
    I found some information over on this thread may be beneficial to your situation. This controller enables USB over wireless as part of the Intel (WiDi) Wireless Display function. To obtain a fix you will need to go to the Intel Site, and run the Intel Driver Update Utility. This should identify any Intel drivers you have that are out of date, including the WiDi driver.
    Other threads on the forums point directly to this driver by Intel that typically resolves the problem, found on this thread at the end.
     I hope this able to assist you in getting a solution to your issue, Thank You wche5!

  • USB Device Not Recognized - USB device attached has malfunctioned & Windows does not recognize it

    I have an HP Pavilion dv4 Notebook running Windows 7 Home Premium and the USB ports worked fine for an HP deskjet printer and an older Casio digital camera. Then one day, the laptop decided not to recognize the Casio digital camera and gave the error message "USB Device Not Recognized" and also indicated that the device attached to the computer has malfunctioned. This prompted me to buy a new Canon digital camera. Well, a new camera did not fix the problem. Now, anything connected to either of the 2 USB ports will not be recognized by my laptop. Help!  I'm at a loss to figure this out.  I've tried the suggested Microsoft help below: 
    Suggestion 1: For the issue with USB devices, uninstall and re-install all the USB controllers. This lets the controllers recover the USB port from its unresponsive condition.
    The USB controllers represent the USB ports in Device Manager.
    a. Click Start, type device manager in the Start search box and hit Enter.
    b. Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers.
    Note: You might have to scroll down the list to find this item.
    c. Right-click the first USB controller under Universal Serial Bus controllers, and then click Uninstall to remove it.
    d. Repeat the above step for each USB controller that is listed under Universal Serial Bus controllers.
    e. Restart the computer. After the computer starts, Windows will automatically scan for hardware changes and reinstall all the USB controllers that you uninstalled.
    f. Check the USB device to see whether it is working.
    This did not correct the problem.  Then from device manager, I tried updating drivers on all the USB controllers and root hubs. While some may have received downloaded software updates, it still did not correct the USB device not recognized problem after restarting the computer.  I'm hoping someone knows of the fix to this situation and can pass it along to me. Thanks for reading and posting any help.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hey 655micha, 
    I'm sorry you're having an issue with a USB device. Do you get an error window that pops up? If so what does it say? Have you checked Device Manager? Is is just one device that isn't working? Has it ever worked before? Is it just one USB port in particular that isn't recognizing devices? 
    What model do you have? Here are the steps to find your product number. FN + ESC is the easiest way to find that information. 

  • HT202731 Unstable operation when 2 or more USB devices connected to usb port on a MacBook Pro running Yosemite

    I have tried connecting a number of devices to my MacBook Pro but I have found if I try to connect 2 or more using either usb ports or a usb hub the computer reports 'disk not ejected properly' and sometimes it will fail to recognise the device and remove it from the desktop or it stalls operation and I have to turn the computer off at the power button.
    I have tried erasing the hard drive and reinstalling the operating system.
    I have done various types of reset suggested by apple support.
    The computer has been to an Apple dealer who has tested the hardware but found nothing due to the intermittent nature of the problem.
    I have operated the computer with only the software originally installed on it present.
    Could it be possible that a virus could be present on the usb devices I am trying to connect?
    My computer is a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012)
    Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Startup Disk Macintosh HD
    Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
    Operating System X Yosemite 10.10.1
    Devices I have connected to USB ports all USB 3.0 compatible in a variety of combinations:-
    7 port superspeed USB 3.0 hub (powered).
    4 port Inateck USB 3.0 portable hub (not powered).
    Buffalo ultra portable 500Gb USB 3.0 hard drive.
    Seagate Expansion portable 500Gb USB 3.0 hard drive.
    Seagate Expansion desktop 2Tb USB 3.0 hard drive (powered).
    Seagate Expansion desktop 3Tb USB 3.0 hard drive (powered).
    ScanDisk Cruiser Edge 16Gb USB stick.
    ScanDisk Cruiser Edge 32Gb USB stick.
    Hewlett Packard 16Gb USB stick. (This causes an instant crash now.)

    Why?
    - Because when I'm editing/ rendering lots of HD video everyday, I don't want to share system resources between virtual machines... I want the entire system's resources devoted to what I'm doing.
    - I don't want to spend anymore money than I have to in order to buy one of the faster virtual systems. Not to mention, I've had a bad experience with Parralels in the past and I'd rather not use one again.
    - I really don't want to clutter up my system anymore than I have to for a project that's only going to take a few weeks.
    - I don't mind swapping hard drives... it takes two minutes, and I have an empty ssd just sitting on the shelf.
    So, back to my original question. Can I just swap the computer's drives, then install Ubuntu on the second drive and be good to go without any harm to my MacBook Pro or OSX on the other drive (which wouldn't be connected when Ubuntu is running)?
    Thanks.

  • Usb 2.0 to usb 2.0 drive transfer rates

    hi everyone. this may be obvious but i wanted to ask anyway. one of my external HD's drives died (well, the electronics died, the drives were fine). luckily i had everything backed up on a USB 2.0 OWC USB drive. i bought a new interface to plug the drives into from the dead drive which is also USB 2.0. so i'm trying to transfer the info back from the backup drive to the original drive, but its painfully slow, like 1GB an hour. is this because i'm transferring from usb 2 to usb 2, or is it possible the drive is damaged? the old interface was FW800/400/USB2, and i remember it was slower than i thought it should be to. i don't have the drive specs with me right now, but i do remember it was a 500GB fantom drive.
    hope i haven't lost you here.
    any info is greatly appreciated, i'd just like to figure out why its so slow.
    thanks!

    Hi jhw1,
    That doesn't sound right, at all. I did a quick check of my hardware and got the following:
    Test #1: A single 2GB file (.dmg)
    Test #2: Ten files totaling approximately ~2GB (.dmg)
    Test #1: 2 mins, 24 seconds
    Test #2: 2 mins, 19 seconds
    I tried it again and got pretty much the same result. In writing a single 2GB file from the internal HD to both external HDs at different times the transfer took about 1 min, 40 seconds. The drives I used were an Iomega 320GB drive and a LaCie 250GB drive and they were connected to my MacBook Pro's USB ports.
