Mass Storage via USB

What is the pb with that??????
Why Mass Storage via USB is not available?

All mobile devices are designed to keep routine connections minimal to keep the cost down, but equally all smart devices are capable of some features which include the transfer of large amounts of data. The typical user should not have major problems balancing the two.
We got this comment from team who developed the Lumia 800:
"Experience shows us that 16GB is the optimal storage size for the vast majority of everyday smartphone users."
Lol, yeah right.
1) If one is on the move often, no access to free WIFI, no unlimited 3G data plan(no such thing unlimited 3G at my location), transfering large amounts of data that way means $$$$$$$. That's provided the internet connection is dependable. Having usb on the go or SD card allows for less dependancy on constant internet connection
2) 16GB is not enough for video & music storage, it's 10GB or less after application storage. That's why I use a SD card along with my 8GB E6 and purchased the 64GB N9 instead of 16GB.
If this WP7 going to replace Symbian after 2016 & wants to go at it this way, it's sad, esp for long time Nokia users

IPhone storage via USB and WiFi

Hi,
I'm looking for an APP which allows to use iPhone as USB Key (storage), and to transfer files via USB and WiFi connections.
I've found some, but I would like one which offers both transfer mode: USB and WiFi.
Could you tell me the best APP that you know?
Thanks,
Chris

Could be... in the past "FileApp" (previously FileAid) supported USB data transfer, but now they say "Removed USB connection support - as per Apple request FileAid no longer offers the ability to access files via USB"!
http://itunes.apple.com/fr/app/fileapp-previously-fileaid-document/id297804694?m t=8
Why did Apple disable this offer?
Sometimes Apple plays very closed environment... too much commercial, not enough friendly
I've found another App which supports USB transfer, "Flash Drive" from "Readdle":
http://itunes.apple.com/fr/app/flash-drive-view-save-with-drag/id300366636?mt=8
Do you know this App?
USB is faster than WiFi.. and with 32GB storage, USB technology should be the minimal level of data tranfer!

How to configure Time Capsule to add another 2GB of storage via USB External Hard Drive?

Hi All, I've recently added an external 2GB hard drive via USB to my 1GB Time Capsule as I had reached capacity. Time Capsule recognises the new 2GB hard drive so I know I have got that at least that bit right! But... I cant seem to figure out how to configure TC to add the extra 2GB to the current 1GB it already has for a total of 3GB? Under 'Select Disk' I can select either one or the other but I can't find a way to 'merge' them both. So a couple of questions:
- Is this even possible?
- If I have to keep them seperate, is there way to select different folders to back up to the different drives? E.g. back up all my music files to one of disk and all my movie files to another? I tried it but is seems like the options apply to time capsule regardless of the drive I select.
Any assistance you can provide would be most appreciated.
Regards, Justin

- Is this even possible?
Sorry, but no. You will not be able to combine the drives as one as the Time Capsule does not offer any type of RAID function.
- If I have to keep them seperate, is there way to select different folders to back up to the different drives? E.g. back up all my music files to one of disk and all my movie files to another? I tried it but is seems like the options apply to time capsule regardless of the drive I select.
Not directly with Time Machine (TM). You would need another backup solution, and then, run two separate backups (with the specific folders of interest); one on each HDD.

How can i disable mass storage

I am working in a Media Company with about 40 numbers of MAC PCs (I-Mac & Mac Pro).
Here data security is very much important factor in our job profile.
In Windows based PCs I have blocked the USB Devices.
But in MAC I am becoming unable to block the USB Device.
I wish the Key-Board and Mouse to work, only the Pen Drives, USB based HDDs are to be stopped.
Hope a Quick Solution will come to take me out from this problem.

In the /System/Library/Extensions/ folder is the extension related to mass storage via USB:
IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext
If you rename it that should do what you want. You will have to use the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. Open Terminal and at the prompt enter:
cd /System/Library/Extensions
sudo mv IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext.bak
Press RETURN after each line. You will be prompted to enter your admin password which is not echoed.
You must restart after making the above change.

Hi:
Did you install the USB3 controller driver so the device you installed could work?
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=21129&lang=eng&ProdId=3467
The USB Mass Storage Device is something you have connected to the PC.
Specifically a Sony® MicroVault USB Flash Drive.
If my suggestion to let windows update find the Intel Management Engine driver, didn't work, see if this driver from Intel works. It also has the hardware ID for that device in the setup information file.

Loading music via USB mass storage (from other os ...

Does the N* phones support just copying the music files via the USB masstorage device or do you have to use the software?

Copying via usb-storage works fine. I'm a happy Slackware Linux user so no problems there. You just have to remember to go into the music player and do "Options" > "Refresh".
A wireless alternative is to set up an FTP server on your machine and to access data using the phone as an FTP client. I use "SIC! FTP" for that.

USB Mass Storage Device won't Eject/Unmount

My brother bought a Sanyo ICR-B180NX digital voice recorder last year to use with his iBook. It was working very well up until about August of 2005. At that point, the recorder would mount on the desktop, and he could get all the files off (it records direct to MP3 format rather than WMV, so he can edit his files very easily), but when it came time to eject it, the device icon would disappear and then immediately re-appear on the desktop. The display on the voice recorder remained static at the "Connect" screen.
I believe this happened in conjunction with some sort of OS update, as it was a "sudden" thing. We can't quite recall what happened between the times it worked and the time it stopped working.
I have tried the device on a PC, and it works the way it should, so I don't believe there's anything wrong with it.
Now, I know the system requirements on the website say that you must have Windows, but a statement from a support company (we returned it to the place where we got it, and they sent it out for repairs, and it came back with a letter) states that the device does act as a generic Mass Storage device, and thus may work with most systems.
All my other USB storage devices (ie. SanDisk 12-in-1 card reader, SanDisk Cruzer Titanium 2GB, iPod Photo), and FireWire devices (ie. WiebeTech TrayDock Extreme) work fine and unmount fine.
Does anyone know of any changes to the way Mass Storage devices are ejected in the current iteration of the OS? I haven't had a chance to test the device under an older OS, but will soon.
Alternately, if anyone has any suggestions regarding replacements (not really looking forward to that, given this recorder cost almost $300CAD), let me know. We need a device that can plug in via USB and transfer files to his iBook which he can edit together (he's a newspaper reporter in training, and needs to edit the interviews to take out such things like dead air, etc).
Thanks!
Mike Ma.

Hi
+USB mass storage device. An error occurred during the installation of the device the data is invalid+
This typical error message appears if the installation of external USB devices failed.
Why? This is not easy to say
What you could do firstly is to clean your registry using the freeware software called CCleaner (Google for that).
Install it and clean your OS and the registry entries.
After cleaning access the device manager and remove all USB root hubs and all USB Host controllers from the device list and reboot the notebook.
New reboot should cause a new installation of USB drivers.
Finally try to connect and try to install your external USB devices again.

Mass Storage Driver Severe Crash - USB Mass Storage device useless

I am running the latest, updated version of OSX Leopard; Hardware Growler; and Parallels Desktop. Today, as I was doing a very resource-intensive task on Windows XP - via parallels - I plugged in my Samsung M610 to try to access the memory card. I then closed Windows XP, and noticed that my cpu was still registering at 100% output. Opening Activity Monitor and looking at the processes there, I saw that Mass Storage was taking 100.00 units of CPU output, and was not responding, I immediately clicked end process. Much to my dismay however, Activity Monitor then proceeded to lock up, so I forced it to quit, which caused finder to lock up in turn. Throughout this time, my cpu was still working overtime, so I decided to power the computer off. Upon rebooting and much "whew"-ing I tried to plug my Cell Phone in again; as usual Hardware Growler notified me of the connection and it's details, however, confusingly finder had no knowledge of any mass storage connection. After multiple connects and reconnects, testing all USB ports on my MBP (and being annoyed by the system telling me to properly find and eject hardware before removing it, which I suppose I should take as a good sign) my memory card remained invisible to finder. Hardware growler continues to perfectly recognize the device connection.
The most odd thing about this particular problem, is that other USB devices are recognized... at least one other Mass storage device is, but I have only one other device to test at the moment.... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Windows 7 64-bit not loading USB mass storage driver

I have a rather strange problem with my Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Everything seems to work fine except for USB mass storage devices. I have USB keyboard, mouse and even a USB audio (wireless headset) all working fine on the computer. But
any USB external drive, thumdrive or USB card reader with flash cards inserted into the USB port of my computer won't work.
Windows keeps reporting that it is unable to find the driver. When I go into the Device Manager console and choose to manually update the driver, then point it to the C:\Windows (with search for sub-directories enabled), it detects the USB Mass Storage
driver but complains that it is unable to load it. The exact message is this: Windows found driver software for your device but encountered error while attempting to install it. USB Mass Storage Device. The system cannot find the file
specified.
This happens to ALL USB Mass storage device, and it doesn't matter which port I plug the device into.
Here's the weird thing, I have VMware Workstation installed on this computer and if I power on a VM that runs Windows 7 32-bit as the Guest OS and connect the USB storage devices to the guest OS via VMware Workstation, the USB storage devices work!
So it would appear that the USB ports are functioning properly but for some reasons, my Windows 64-bit is unable to load the driver.
Any idea how to fix this besides a "nuke it from orbit" and format/reinstall Windows?
Thanks.

I'm very excited to finally have a solution for this problem. Thank You Balaji for figuring this out. I've been struggling with this for a number of years, and had only one USB Hard Drive that worked. I too have VMware workstation, and had the missing files
in "c:\windows\inf." I can say with certainty that I did not delete the files from that folder, but something is common in both of our situations. Maybe it has to do with VMware, and some of it's updates over the years. I'm also using nCompute to share out
a networked desktop via the wire.
One more thing worthy of mention is this machine was an update from Windows Vista, and the USB hard drive that worked was configured back than. So although I could never add another HD, at least I had the one.
Now with having copied over the files, I can plugin other USB enclosures with different drives and they too are working.
Like you mentioned, it was always possible to use USB devices within my Virtual Machines, so it was clear that the USB ports were functional. I actually got the files from a clean Windows 7 VM, copying out the \windows\inf folder and doing a compare between
the the real one and the virtual one. I found the two missing files you mentioned, along with 8 others. I went ahead and included them all in your fix.
It worked, Amazing. Thanks again. :O)

Are there any drivers available to use USB mass storage on Windows 98?

I have a fairly expensive piece of equipment that still operates on windows '98. It uses specifically created files to complete jobs that must be loaded onto the computer. I would like to be able to send new job files out to the machine's operator in the field via e-mail so they can download them onto the computer from the Blackberry using the mass storage mode (I have other machines operating on windows 2000 that I am currently doing this with). The machine currently is using a USB operated card reader and we have to physically move the files from the office computer to the field computer and it is often more than 60 miles away. Being able to use the Blackberry would be an incredible time and fuel saver. Upgrading the operating system to 2000 is not an option on this piece of equipment.
Any help on where to find a driver for windows 98? I have searched all over the net to no avail....

Hi Plowboy and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
Unfortunately RIM does not have any drivers supported by Windows 98.
Thanks.

[E6] USB Mass Storage - how to change 'memory in u...

Hi,
When I plug in my e6 into USB slot in my car and choose Mass Storage in E6 USB settings, my phone connect using phone memory...
I place music on memory card (micro SD) and don't know how to change the memory in use via mass storage USB connect.
On the other way, when I plug in E6 into LCD-TV, after hundred of reconnect, it plug in as Mass Storage SD card... And still don't know how it works :X
Help.

Yes as Tom stated this post belongs in the FCP forum.
This can be configured in the System Settings.
Go to Final Cut Pro > System Settings... and click the memory tab, you can configure your RAM settings there.

Macbook 2012 Mid: Can't mount USB mass storage after upgrading to Mavericks

Hi guys,
I'm having big problems with USB mass storages. After upgrading to Mavericks my Mac doesn't see some USB storage devices (mostly USB sticks and Android phone's memory cards via USB. My external USB 3.0 hard disks work fine) at all even though the devices themselves (for example my Android phone) are clearly recognized according to the System Report. When I plug them in, they don't show up on my Finder or on Disk Utility.
I've searched everywhere and it seems like some other people are having the same problem, none seems to offer a definite solution. I've even formatted my HD and reinstalled Mavericks from the recovery partition. Now it mounts a USB stick that was in one of the USB ports at the time of installation but still doesn't read anything else! The funny thing is when I boot into Windows 8 on my Boot Camp partition, I can mount any USB devices including the USB stick and the Android phone I'm having problems on Mavericks without any problems. I can even see then when I boot into the recovery so there's clearly something wrong with Mavericks.
Any chance someone has figured out a solution for this? Apple should've address this long time ago.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem? Note: If the devices are not in Mac OS X format, they normally won't mount in safe mode, but they should appear in Disk Utility.
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Canon Vixia HF R400 - USB Mass Storage?

I recently purchased a Canon Vixia HF R400 and was wondering if there is a way to make the camera appear as a USB mass storage device (like an external hard drive or flash drive).
When I plugged in the camera using the provided USB cable to a Debian (Squeeze) system, Shotwell Photo Manager appears as an option but it never successfully gets any data.
I've looked through the manual but found no reference to USB mass storage. Am I limited to Windows/Mac for accessing the files via USB? That would sad, as I have neither available to me at home.
Thanks in advance!

FYIGMO63: I'm using Linux -- Debian (Squeeze). I don't own a Windows nor a Mac system.
I've seen mention of other models of camcorders where the user is apparently asked to select their USB mode, but my camcorder doesn't seem to prompt for that. I poked around the settings menus as well and didn't find any where to specify USB connection mode.
Just so that I'm looking in the right place, could you give me an example for how you would do that on your camcorder (and what model you have)?
It would REALLY be nice if a CANON representative could look at this thread and tell me what I might be doing wrong to mount the camcorder as a USB Mass Storage device ... or if it's even possible under Linux.
I have 6 days left to return it at BestBuy, which I'd like to do if I can confirm that this is not possible for me, as I mentioned above, I have no Windows nor Mac computers here so I would need a generic USB Mass Storage solution that works in Linux.
Thanks!

IMac cannot detect ANY usb mass storage device.

iMac Core 2 Duo (White) cannot detect ANY usb mass storage device including iPod. Only Mice and Keyboards work via usb. Any solutions? OS X shows absolutely nothing when any usb device is connected.

Try resetting the PRAM. Hold down Option-Cmd--P-R together at the startup chime. Wait for two more chimes, total three, then let go to finish booting.
Try an SMC Reset. Shutdown, unplug from power, wait ten minutes, still unplugged, hold power button in for five seconds. Reconnect to power.
Run the Hardware Test in extended.

Tried a different USB port, tried a different device besides the iPod?
Some other ideas
