Mount HDs through USB

Hey people,
I want to access a HD through USB, and I have a small device/adaptor for this: you can plug your HD in it, and then you can connect it to the USB plug of your computer. But unfortunately, it doesn.t work... the device is recognized, and the usbstorage driver seems to be attached to it, but I dont know what goes wrong. there is nothing added in /dev (like sda or something)
this is the output of /proc/bus/usr/devices on the device:
T: Bus=03 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 2 Spd=12 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1

and this is the output of dmesg on the device and on usbstorage:

Does anybody know how to get this device recognized, and secondly, how to mount the HD?
thanks!
rogier

I got a bit further! whohoo! and how:
1) I read somewhere that I had to upload new firmware to the device, after that, Linux would be able to acces the HD through the USB.
2) flashing theh firmware was only possible on a win98 or me computer (xp didnt work). So I had to find a win98 comp (impossible), or install windows 98.
3) better install win98 then. but then I needed to have an empty HD, which I didnt have... so
4) I backup a small old HD to another HD, and then to format it
5) copied all the files from the win98 cd using 2 different readers, since the cd was too scratched
6) finally installed win98, and flashed the firmware...
That took me about 3 hours...
and now I am a bit closer to my goal: accessing my old HD through usb.
after the flashing, my device just became something else: output of /proc/bus/usb/devices:

anyhoo, I have /dev nods now: /dev/sdaX (X are the exact partitions that are present on the HD in question), but when I try to mount them, it gives an error:
[root@anadyr usb]# mount /dev/sda5 -t ext3 /mnt/backup
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda5,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
the output of dmesg | tail is:

External Hard Drive will not mount through USB Hub.

The Hard Drives are ok. If I plug them directly into my iMac (3 weeks old and update to 10.7.1) they mount fine. But they wont show up if I plug them into my USB Hub that is plugged into my iMac. I have had THREE USB Hubs and all of them have had problems. I have USB flash drive that sometimes shows up and a iPhone that will show up in iTunes when I mount it through the hub.
Is there a program (in the system or share/freeware) that will force the Mac to scan and mount them?
thanks - Otto.

The issue is the EHD's are not getting enough power. Going forward never buy EHD's unless they have their own power supply. I would recommend either connecting directly to the iMac or replacing them with higher quality devices. The EHD's I like to recommend are:
OWC Mercury Elite Pro series
LaCie d2 Quadra series
G-Tech G-DRIVE series
All are similar in quality and features. Yes they're probably more money that what you paid however they're worth it. I use the LaCie's however I wouldn't hesitate to use the OWC or G-Tech's either.

Ipod will only mount through USB

could anyone please tell me why my ipod will only mount and update with the USB cable, and not the firewire as it used to. it won't mount on the desktop or the new laptop (c/w Tiger) this way but seems fine through USB. Is using the USB a one way road?

... not sure. I have had trouble before. Turned out to be a "bad" firewire port. Others have reported that switching Firewire cables helped.
We can either try to figure it out ... or we could suggest uyou just reset everything. The latter is often easier.
This is in order of difficulty, I think:
1. Reset several times - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61705
2. Check the iPod directory - with your ipod disconnected, open iTunes and set the iPod preference tab to Manual. Quit iTunes, connect your iPod, and if iTunes opens, quit it again. Open Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities folder). iPod should show up in list of drives on the left. Select the iPod and click "Repair".
3. Delete the iPodDriver.kext file:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61937
4. Since you have a back-up of your music, open Updater and Restore your iPod - this will reformat it so your music (on the iPod) will be lost. It will be replaced when you resync it with iTunes.
5. Reset your USB and Firewire ports - you might run a check to see if you get the same behavior using a different port. To reset the ports, go here:
http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?7@@.68bb75ef/0
One of those should do it.

How to use mobile internet in xp system through usb cable

I was using mobile internet on my pc through usb tether. I have a xp system and I connect through use cable. I downloaded PdaNet+ usb tether driver and it was working fine for a couple of days. But now it is not working and I can't even re-install it. Can anyone tell me the other option to install usb tether driver on xp system.

Not possible. The USB connection only allows for data transfer between the computer and the device, it cannot function as a gateway to the Internet.

How can i use labview for communicating with pic18 microcontroller through usb port?

Hi all,
I want to make a DAQ card using pic 18 microcontroller which has a built-in usb protocol. I have the firmware of this
controller which will make it as a usb device. How can i receive the analog voltages from this DAQ card in Labview? or i mean to say that how i can communicate labview with the Pic 18 microcontroller through usb port? I have also the
mpusbapi.dll file which is for Visual C++. Can i make changes in this dll file to make it compatible with labview?

Which labview version do you have. Up to labview 7.1 it was no USB raw communication options. I have heard it did not work well in 7.1, but from 8.x most of the errors were fixed.
Here is a link it should be useful http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=340676&query.id=365864#M340676
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

My Airport Extreme and Time Capsule both cannot do not mount my Seagate USB external hard.

My Airport Extreme and Time Capsule both cannot do not mount my Seagate USB external hard.
I am running OS 10.7.5
Both the TC and AE are updated to 7.6.1
The Seagate drive in formatted: Journaled HFS+
I tried everything on Apple's Article: HT1331 and the basic reboots and restarts.
"Next"

It sounds like you may be confusing "mount" with "recognize".
Connect the drive to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the AirPort Extreme icon, then click Edit
Click the Disks tab
Does the AirPort Extreme "recognize" your hard drive? If yes, it will be displayed in the window.
See example below of a WD 500 GB drive connected to the AirPort Extreme.
If your drive is formatted HFS+ and it does not appear here, then you will almost certainly need to use a powered USB hub with the hard drive.....even if the hard drive has its own power supply. The USB port on the AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule is under powered.
Post back when the drive is "recognized" and we will next "mount" the drive.....although you likely already know how to do this.

I've got a wireless network with one iMac and a Vista PC, on the Vista PC is through USB a printer connected. How can i print from my iMac to that particular printer ?

I've got a wireless network with one iMac and a Vista PC, on the Vista PC is through USB a printer connected. How can i print from my iMac to that particular printer ?

You need to turn on Printer Sharing on both the PC and OS X. I can't help you on Vista but in OS X it's System Preferences - Sharing - check the Printer Sharing box.

Hard Drive not detected through SATA, but it is through USB.

This week my hard drive seemed to crash, I got the file with the question mark and it wouldn't show up in disk utility. I went out and bought a new hard drive, popped it in and it too doesn't show up. I put my old hard drive in an enclosure and plugged it in through USB, and my macbook starts up just fine that way. What could be the problem?

dcbaros wrote:
Well I know the drive is fine because I can run it from the usb enclosure, but is the sata cable going bad a common problem?
Not common but I've seen it happen more than once so I wouldn't be surprised if that is what's going on with your computer.

Can't hear text-to-speech through USB DSP headset

MBP5,3 OSX10.7.1
Using a noise canceling Plantronics USB headset (DSP-500), I've noticed that text-to-speech audio disappears (or is badly garbled) when played through the headset. Interestingly, changing voices among several choices in the Speech preference pane determines whether the voice is completely absent, or badly garbled (very slow). Audio is fine via speakers or via earphone jack, but when played through USB I get nothing. Using CLI "say" command in terminal also hangs. As soon as USB jack is pulled, the command completes.
I think it has something to do with the DSP in this particular headset (noise canceling) but I don't have a non-DSP headset handy to check this. Strange part is that this was not an issue with Snow Leopard.
It would be nice to be able to use headset for this audio as I use it for everything else in a noisy environment. Can anyone verify that this is not a problem with other USB headsets before I resort to another purchase?

Thank you. You're right, I didn't see the exact location you were describing: I went to Dictation & Speech
I tried to change it again and it wouldn't let me change it back to control + v so left it as control + a.
I did as you said (below), it spoke in Pages, so thank you.
But then I went back to Dictation & Speech to make them the same:
Tested in Pages... 'BEEP!' So I set it back to Control + A.
So now Control+A speaks as it used to - able to start and stop speech - only cannot be used in iWork apps.
And Control+S starts speaking in any app, but does not stop speaking unless I press Control+A. So...
Thank you, I guess you solved my problem, but now I have two sets of combinations for speech.
Control + A (Chrome, Finder, etc) start or stop speech
Control + S (Any app) start speech
I tried inputing 'Stop Speaking' in Shortcuts, but to no avail...

Everytime I restart the computer now I get a open with window.

If it helps the Article ID:474705 this says at one point
3. Open a shell prompt and enter the following command: echo "0x54c" >> $HOME/.android/adb_usb.******.
I gues that's what's creating the problem.
