Linksys usb adapter and TC

I'm planning on purchasing an iMac and using Time Capsule. Currently I'm running two Windows machines, using a Linksys wireless router. On my dying desktop, I'm using a linksys usb adapter. If I hook up the time capsule to my modem and configure my iMac (does it have to be ethernet wired to TC during setup process?} will I still be able to access the new TC router with my current linkys usb adapter or do I have to install some sort of TC software on my windows machine,which if so, would concern me, since I'm down to about 200mb on my C: drive and can't find much, other than restore points, to free up any space to install anything).
My plan is to transfer all my Windows stuff to new iMac and then retire this old desktop (while continuing to run a Windows XP sp2 laptop with built-in wireless b)
Thanks,
Mark

No, but that can be useful if AirPort Utility on the iMac has trouble "seeing" the TC.
will I still be able to access the new TC router with my current linkys usb adapter
I would expect so.
or do I have to install some sort of TC software on my windows machine
No.

You can only add songs to your iOS device from iTunes via Wi-Fi sync or via your cable, not Bluetooth.

That's an entirely different issue, unrelated to your iOS devices.

Lightning usb adapter and connecting devices

I purchased a lightning usb adapter and when i connect my wi drive to it, a message comes up sayin "device requires too much power" how do i fix this?

There is no "lightning USB adapter", per se. If you are referring to the Camera Connection Kit, the iPad does not support direct connection to external storage except for flash drives containing photos, and then only if the drive is set up in a very specific way. Please tell us what specific adapter you have and what this "drive" is that you are trying to connect.
BTW, you posted in a forum intended for 1990's era hardware. I've asked the Hosts to move the thread to the iPad forum.

Linksys USB Adapter hookup?

I currently have a Power Mac G4 operating on OS 10.2. It has no internal Bluetooth or Airport. I have a Linksys Wireless Router, which my PowerBook laptop hooks up too with no problem.
My question is--can I connect my Power Mac to the wireless network by way of a USB adapter? I currently have an adapter, which works fine with my Tivo, but I can't seem to get it operating with my computer. I think it could be the Network settings or possibly a driver? But all the drivers I try to download are Windows only!

IPhone 3g ultracompact usb adapter and travel

Hello all,
I'll be travelling abroad for several months and I was wondering if the following is correct. I read the back of the Ultracompact Usb adapter that came with my iphone and it says that it will accept Input: 100 - 240v ~ 50/60hz. I know the U.S. uses 110v and Europe uses 220/230v. Am I right in assuming that provided I have an adapter for the plug, this will accept power from a European outlet without incident? Meaning, if I plug this is in Europe, it won't fry my iPhone 3G, correct?

All iPod/iPhone adapters work overseas. I use them all the time, no need to worry.

Xperia Z1, Problem with OTG and Sony PS3 Headset Pulse USB Adapter

Hi, I did a bit of testing, with headphones Sony PS3 Wireless Headset Pulse , I state that both the adapter and the Sony Pulse Headphones work perfectly on PC and PS3 via the USB adapter , then connect the adapter via USB OTG connection on the Sony Xperia Z1 . With much regret I noticed that the connection between the USB adapter and headphones was established , but the audio was transmitted jerky and scratchy . So I decided to try again via USB OTG headphones Logitech F540 (again, via USB OTG, not via audio jack) , and with much enthusiasm I noticed a connection quick and efficient , without cawing and smoothly ; clear sound as if they were of the headphones connected directly to the Audio Jack with wire . I then decided to try another pair of headphones USB (for PC) , the Creative HS -1200 , connecting via the USB OTG adapter receiver headphones ( ie the same thing I did with Sony and the Logitech ) ; also in this case the Creative Wireless Headphones have received the sound from the USB receiver , without any problem or distortions . Now I want to understand how it might work all this variety of USB devices not Made by Sony , connected via the OTG port , but do not work Devices Made By Sony ? You can solve this problem with the Firmware right?
The firmware installed in my Xperia Z1 is 14.1.G.1.534 .
The OTG cable is fully functional with a multitude of devices (USB HD 2.5 Inch, USB pendrive, USB Audio, USB Mouse and keyboard).
For your info, I already tried to connect the OTG, to a powered USB 2.0 HUB, and on the HUB USB, connect the adapter from Sony and the result is one and the same. The USB adapter will light as the Sony Z1 directly connected to the OTG, but the sound from the speakers gets crackling and jerky. I tried to connect the USB adapter of Sony headphones, and then connect the cable from USB jack to the audio jack of Z1, and of course the audio works perfectly, because it bypasses the USB audio sent by Z1, going to use the 'Jack audio input, and using the USB Headset adapter (Sony Pulse) as a simple transmitter.
Thank you to anyone reply to this.
Edit: i have try with samsung S3 and Samsung S4 with OTG and the Sony HeadSet Pulse work fine with the USB Dongle. The problem is on the firmware audio of the Xperia Z1.

Two possibility
The driver is not right
Or the second i know and it's not possible to fix , they can happen on any audio device with any pc or other host
You can try your headset over a usb hub with a extern power source and connect the usb hud on your phone , if this not continu it's a power problem with the usb port
Sometime a usb port cannot provide suffisent power and that affect the audio or any data transfer , a usb hub provide on each port the power they need so when you cronnect your headset that give the good power to him
Few friends know this issue with a variety of device
One use one device on each port on his pc and there happen the pc cannot provide suffisent power for his headset , I suggest to use the minimal on his usb port and he don't have the problem , I suggest to buy a usb port power by an external source and that fixed the problem
If his your problem no update can fix that for fixing you need a Y cable to give more power to the usb port of your celphone and using a external power source (portable charging , solar panel custom 5v usb port with AA batterie)

How to record a USB mic and a guitar at the same time?

I have an Audio-Technia AT-2020 USB mic and an Ovation acoustic/electric guitar. I wanted to record both of them at the same time, so i plugged the mic into the USB port (duh!) and the guitar into the 1/8" port on the computer (with a 1/4" to 1/8" adapter and a male/male headphone cable). However, when i went to select the inputs for the diffrent tracks, it was either one or the other. My question is, do you need an audio interface to be able to do multitrack recording? If so, could I use a USB hub, 1/8" to USB adapter, and plug both the guitar and mic to fool the computer into thinking i have an audio interface? I would rather not spend money on an audio interface ($200) and a new mic ($120) when i already have something that could work!
Thanks to anyone who can help!

4th Gen. ipod. No longer charges from wall socket. Still can charge from computer. Wall power adapter and cord both work fine on other devices. Wall Why?

4th Generation ipod. Used to charge fine from wall socket (cord and USB adapter) and could also charge on the computer. Suddenly stopped charging from the wall. The same cord and adapter still work for my iphone, so there is not problem with either of them. What has changed? Why won't the ipod charge from the wall anymore? Is there anything I can do about it?

Thanks! It didn't actually work with the one I was using to charge the computer either. We had tried the computer cable with the power adapter, and it didn't work to charge the ipod, though it does charge my iphone. Following your idea further, I waited for my husband to get home from a trip and tried one of his extra cables he keeps in his backpack. That cable worked in with the USB power adaptor. I had thought that because the cable I use on my computer charges my iphone through the USB power adapter or the computer, and that it charged the ipod through the computer that it was fully functional. Apparantly not. Thanks again.

Utility or trick to get screenshots from USB-Adapter-driven monitor?

My main computer is a G5Quad, but this post relates to my MacBook.
Recently, I acquired a USB-(display card)Adapter ( http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/VIDU2DVIA/                  ) to run the second one of my dual external monitors with my MacBook (not "Pro").
The first one of the external monitors was already connected to the MacBook through the regular external-monitor port, so this allowed for the use of both external monitors on the MacBook.
To my utter astonishment and delight, the arrangement works absolutely superbly. I ended up with an arrangement in which my desktop spans all three monitors, with my main monitor on the right (22" CRT) being the one connected directly to the MacBook's monitor port, the center one (also a 22" CRT) conected through the above described USB adapter, and on the left the MacBook's own built-in monitor.
Working with Photoshop13 ("CS6") with all that screen real estate is like a dream.
The only thing that doesn't work is taking a screen shot of the center display, i.e. the one connected through the USB adapter. Using Command_Shift_3 generates only screen-shot files from monitors one (right) and three (left), the center one is simply
ignored.
Using Command_Shift_4 only in the center screen, I can hear the shutter-clack sound, but no image is generated again. I've tried swapping the screens and connections around, and whichever is connected through the USB adapter is always ignored.
If anyone can suggest any trick or knows any utility that will help me get this done, I'd be much obliged.

Thanks in advance.

Found the utility I was looking for: SnapzProX2 does the job perfectly, by either taking a screen shot of just the secondary (center) monitor or one spanning the entire width of all three screens combined.
Alas, the utility costs $70. I'll continue looking hoping to find something cheaper.
However, this proves that the USB-adapter is indeed working flawlessly and that it provides all the necessary information to capture a screen shot of the monitor it is driving.
So this is really an Apple problem, which I have no hope of seeing fixed, as Snow Leopard is no longer supported.
If somebody finds something else, please let us know.

Shure X2U usb adapter (XLR to USB) for microphones - very low volume

I've just bought a Shure Sm57 and X2U usb adapter - however when I plug it into Garageband there are no level controls (understandably) but even with full gain turned up on the adapter the levels are so low as to be unusable. I need to be right on top of the mic for any pick up (about three or four green lights on the bar) and as soon as I turn my head or go more than two inches from the mic, everything drops off.
I've tried the mic with a stereo adapter and put it through my Griffin iMic and seem to have similar problems, but when hooking the mic up to a proper pre-amp kit on a stage, the sound was delicious!
Anyone using one of these adapters, anyone with a problem?
Do I need some sort of powered pre-amp? I doubt it the manual advises just to plug it straight into the USB.
I'm running 10.5.7 so no need to run the drivers (they wouldn't let me anyway!)
Help!

OK - the replacement SM58 microphone, with a new usb arrived.
I've set it up - this time putting a pair of headphones into the monitor jack of the USB adapter - and the pick up over the monitor is amazing, I can be about two feet away, talking quietly and it picks up everything - a little bit of background hiss, but this can be reduced by adjusting the monitor and volume dials.
Plugged into my mac is a different matter - the pick up is still negligible - very low, and with no controls.
Checked in Sys Pref Sounds and in GB - the levels are so low as to be unusable - unless I sit an inch away from the mic.
This is with the gain dial of the USB adapter turned up quite high - possibly 8 or 9 out of 10.
I'm thinking now the problem lies with the Mac side of things - I wonder if the drivers are doing what they are supposed to do.

Shure X2u USB adapter - on 10.5.5

Does anyone know if the Shure USB mic adapter can be used on os-x 10.5.5?
If so, does one iuse the "X2u Driver 0.0.0.5" driver for earlier versions?
The documentation advises an update to 10.5.6, I don't want to - if I can avoid it.
Thanks.

Issues with SATA to USB adaptor and filesystem

Hi,
I just bought an SATA to USB adapter with an external power supply. I was trying to use it with a Western Digital Caviar Green 1 TB disk, I first formatted using a regular SATA cable using an MBR partition table with a single ext4 partition covering the whole disk, starting at 1 MiB to align it properly (is that right? I was getting a warning about wrong alignment and I googled it so I created the partition using parted and left that 1 MiB free at the disk's beginning). I then proceeded to copy some data in the just created partition. I shutdown the computer, disconnected the disk, and then, after turning on the PC again, I connected the disk using the SATA-USB adapter, but the filesystem was not recognized.
I tried several times using different filesystems and using GPT instead of MBR with no results. I finally tried to create the partition table and the filesystem itself while connecting the disk with the usb adapter and it worked, now I can access the partition using the adapter. But here is the catch, if I connect the disk again using the direct SATA cable, it won't even recognize the partition table, while connecting it through the adapter will work just fine. Is this safe/reliable? I'm afraid that if there is any problem in the future I will get some headaches because if right now that the disk is working I cannot access it using a SATA cable, imagine if there's a problem!
Also, at the very same time I'm writing this post, I'm copying again the data that was intended to be in the disk through the adapter and it's copying at half the speed it did when I first did it connecting it directly with the SATA cable (30 MB/s vs 60 MB/s), is this because of the adapter? or may it because of this apparently problem with the partition table and filesystem that only works when created using the adapter?
I tried to be as clear as possible but I realize that it may sound a bit confusing, I just hope it's clear enough so you could give me some advice...
Thanks!
Santiago.-
PS: What I'd like to know is if there is a way to get it to work both, when connected with the SATA cable and when connected with the adapter.
PS2: The final working configuration was using a GPT partition table and an ext4 partition using gparted while the disk was connected with the adapter.

what brand/model is the adapter ?
As for the speed difference :
Does the adapter & disk support USB3, or is it USB2 max ?

MacMini with Wireles-N USB adapter

Guys, I want to up-speed my MacMini from Wireless G to N. Not to keep on ripping it apart to install a N card and then loose the warranty. Thus, was considering installing a Wireless N USB adapter (and disable the on-board adapter). I was thinking about the nNano from QuickerTek. Has any of you had success with doing just this (with the QuickerTek or another brand of adapter)?
Thanks
AJ

[SOLVED] Wireless USB adapter

I just bought a gigabyte aircruiser N300 usb adapter to increase the wireless signal.
But i cant get to work. I tried disabling the onboard wireless card. and used the command hwdetect --show -net, and checked what was new after i plugged in the adapter. it was only rt2800usb. I added that to the module and rebooted, but i still dont see any wlan when i type sudo ifconfig.
What am i doing wrong?

Okey, i get mixed answers here.
I got it to work yesterday. after i did sudo yaourt -S rt2870. but then i disconnected it to check if it really was the usb adapter. and i t was. but after a reboot its gone again.
which logs can i check? i can see the usb adapter with lsusb. but dmesg have ALOT of output and i dont know what to look for.
edit:my newbie guess is that the onboard wlan card and usb adapter is in conflict. and is it possible to have 2 wlan cards active?
edit2: this USB adapter is using RT2870 . is that in the kernel? and why should i use rt2800usb then?RT2870
