MX892 fails to be recognized by USB in Windows 8.1 and OS X Mavericks

This seems odd because the USB cable is 2.0 and brand new. The printer will work just fine with the wireless network connection in OS X and worked fine with wireless in Windows 8.1 before the wireless card in that desktop failed. Windows detects it as a USB device but can't identify it.
Any ideas what to do on this problem?

Hi plus_p_plus,
I would like to have you check in the Apple System Profiler on your Mac, and the Device Manager in Windows to see how the printer is being seen by your computers. To do this, please follow the steps below:
From your Mac:
1. Open the System Information or System Profiler app from the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
2. Under the Hardware section on the left, click on the USB option. What items are listed in the USB section?
From Windows:
1. On your keyboard, hold the Windows key and press " X ".
2. Click CONTROL PANEL.
3. Select HARDWARE AND SOUND.
4. In the window that opens, select DEVICE MANAGER from the Devices and Printers section.
5. In the Device Manager window, scroll down to near the bottom of the window and find the section named 'UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS CONTROLLERS'.
6. If that area is not expanded already, please double-click on 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers' to expand the area.
7. Examine the contents listed; do you see a listing for 'USB PRINTING SUPPORT'?
7-1. If so, does 'USB Printing Support' have an exclamation mark, question mark, or other symbol next to it?
7-2. If not, then check to see if there is anything listed under a section above named 'OTHER DEVICES' or 'UNKNOWN DEVICES'. If there is, what items are listed there?
We look forward to hearing from you!
If this is a time-sensitive matter, additional support options are available at Contact Us.

Failed connection when attempting to connect to Windows Vista PC from OS X Mavericks

I've recently carried out a system recovery of my Windows Vista notebook and now I can no longer connect to it from my iMac. I had no problems connecting before and I've checked all the relevant settings on the Vista PC under the network section, ie. network discovery is on, file sharing is on etc. I can access the iMac from the PC with no trouble and the notebook is showing up in Finder on the Mac - but when I try to connect, I get an error message as shown below.
Would really appreciate it if someone could throw some light on this issue for me. I have tried disabling the Windows Firewall and also creating other user accounts on the notebook, but none of these things make any difference. I have also tried connecting using the 'Finder' 'Go' 'Connect to Server...' option but this also doesn't work. I'm running Mavericks on the iMac.
Many thanks
Donna

Ok, that all looks fine and I presume there's no problem with internet access and yes, 254 in your case would be the router. DNS server should also be set at 192.168.1.254, but that's not going to affect our current issue.
(For future reference, DNS setting can be seen this way (amongst others):
Mac: System Preferences > Network
and Win Vista: Network & Sharing Center > View status > Details
But back to our problem... could you please verify a few things:
1. The setup of public folder sharing (Network & Sharing Center): set the middle option:
and password protected sharing off:
2. Please also turn off firewalls on both the Win and Mac machines
3. On the Mac, open Terminal (Applications > Utilities) and type ping -c 4 192.168.1.71
4. If that works, type ping -c 4 jdnotebook.local
5. If that works, use Finder to connect to server but this time use smb://jdnotebook.local (even though password protected sharing is off, you still might need to supply your registered user name and password (do verify those on your Win machine, and preferably supply an admin user account from the Win machine in the Finder "Connect As" box)
Correction to point 5: I still hadn't turned off password protected sharing on my vista machine so you should be fine in Finder to "Connect As" Guest
reply with results please

Ipod touch not recognized by itunes in windows 8

Hi, I have an ipod touch. It has been working well along windows 8 all this while until 1 week ago, itunes can no longer detect the ipod touch. Funnily, when I tried connecting it other computers using Windows 7, it could be detected. I have already tried almost everything such as uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, AMDS restart. What else can I do? I really need to sync some songs into my ipod touch for a run this weekend. Please help!

Did you do everything here:

Including
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

ipod will not turn on,rest, etc. screen flashes when hooked to computer, and when going through 5 steps of troubleshooting, the apple will briefly show up. Does not charge up after being hooked to computer. no longer recognized by itunes or window (all updated and reloaded)

Help.. Ipod recognized as USB drive?

Ipod shuffle 2nd generation stopped working after I formatted it. Its formatted as fat 32 and it now only being recognized as usb drive and will not play music. Ive tried using the ipod reset utility and it tells me failed to reboot after installing updated firmware. please I need help.

Maybe you solved this or not but I have a suggestion. If you have a PCMCIA slot try adding a usb 2.0 pcmcia card. I was having a world of troubles that have included one already returned 5G 60GB. It was rendered inoperative by a failed restore process. I assumed it was a defective ipod.
Receiving the new one last night it was showing similar behavior to the one I had to replace. I thought my laptop might be a factor. I was already using a compUSA usb 2/FW card with the ipod but after searching I found a post that warned that card is trouble. I just bought a HP USB 2 pcmcia card (US$39) and about 8 gigs of movies was just gulped down by my ipod in one sitting. With the compUSA card it would cough and choke on one movie sometimes.
Sorry for your troubles. Good luck.

I get an itunes symbol and usb symbol on my iphone and it is not recognized by my itunes

I plugged my iphone4 into my computer to charge and it now shows an itunes symbol and a usb symbol and itunes no longer recognizes the device.

Hi, bbarden.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below. Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

Device not recognized via USB

Hi, i have iPad1 fw4.3 that is out of warranty now. It worked fine.
Suddenly neither windows 7 nor lion would recognize it when connected with usb.
Windows 7 throws "USB device not recognized" message, Lion does nothing.
Im aware of many threads on this subject but nothing helped.
As i'm a game developer i need ipad to test my games, and without usb connection it is useless to me.
I cant afford another one so it's quite important to me.
I'm also form a country not supporded by apple so there is no place where i could take it for service.
iPad is charging fine and works fine.
It shows like "Unknown device" under windows device manager.
Not detected even in Recovery mode, so i cant restore. Any other way to update fw ?
Tried with 3 different cables that work with two ipods on every usb port.
Tried on 3 different windows 7 pcs.
Tried with a fresh install of lion.
Tried leaving all devices unplugged for some time.
Tried disabling network adapters everywhere.
Tried reinstalling itunes, deleting plists and kexts multiple times.
Any thoughts ? Thanks

Update for those interested with similar problem.
Tried DFU, wasnt detected in it also.
Not sure but it seams it is detected when i do a settings reset > connect to a wifi network > do a settings reset
But when its detected it always disconnect itself after 5-10 second unless i do something with it. Its like it disconnects after a 5sec idle.
So, as soon its detected and itunes shows up i start backup to give the device something to do.
That gave me enough time to select ios5 ipsw, itunes to unack it and start the update.
The update went fine, ipad didnt disconnect itself during the procedure.
Unfortunately even though im on ios5 and did full erase the problem persists :/

MyDAQ recognized as USB flash firmware

When I look in my Device Manager, my myDAQ is recognized as USB flash firmware, and it is also not recognized in any LabView instruments as it says "No Supported Devices." I've tried updating the driver for the USB, and I've also tried stopping and restarting the NI Device Loader in Services. Neither have worked.
What should I do?
If you ask for information please tell me the steps on how to get it.
Thank You
Emily

HT1379 mac book pro abondened recognizing external USB hardisks

OSX Maverix macbook pro 15 inch started not recognizing Toshiba USB external hardisks anymore, but recognize flash disks.
Also USB external Hardisk are recognized by windows based dekstops. I have purchased new WD external hardisk for MAC but again same is not recognized by mac.
can anyone help please ?

You may have to remove the third party backup software. If you are using it as a clone, you'll probably also need to erase and reformat it with GUID partition scheme:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3003
If neither helps, then the drive needs a new firmware.
See this tip, and feel free to contribute if you have further updates:

USB 2.0 stopped being recognized by USB 3.0 port

Hey all,
Two days ago, I was syncing my iPod Classic (USB 2.0) with iTunes and I also had my USB 2.0 Time Machine drive plugged in (I do not think it was backing up at the time), both of these devices were plugged into the USB 3.0 ports on my 15" MacBook Pro (Mid 2012). All of a sudden, my MacBook informs me that both devices were disconnected. For the next 30 minutes, these devices connected and disconnected sporadically. I tried restarting my MacBook multiple times, I reset the PRAM multiple times, I reset the SMC multiple times, I booted into Windows 7 (I use Boot Camp) and both devices show up as unrecognized. They do not show up at all on the OS X (10.10.2) side of my computer. What's strange though, is that all USB 3.0 devices work perfectly. I tried an old USB 2.0 flash drive, didn't work.
Anyone have any thoughts? I have searched Google and these forums for the last two days to no avail.

To plug a 2.0 into a 3.0 you are using an adapter? Is this where the problem is? Even with the old flash drive? or did you also try using the 2.0 ports on your MBP? The adapter could be bad or the cables for your external devises. You did the steps you need to do to correct the problem. Other then that it would be a hardware problem. And you would need to take it to an apple store to be checked out.

Ipod Touch not recognized by USB port on my new radio! PLEASE help?!?!?

Ok, so I just bought a new radio for my car so I can listen to my ipod touch 2nd gen (with the latest 3.0 software) through my speakers. Ok, that's all great, but the problem is that when I connect my ipod touch through the USB port on my new radio, it reads "device error"...
My radio is an Alpine CDE-102. It does have an AUX input, and I can easily get a cable to fix this problem... but I'm wondering why my ipod touch doesn't show up through the USB?!?! And I don't know how AUX input sounds compared to USB input (probably less quality than the USB...)
So, can you help me? I've also connected my ipod touch to my xbox 360 and it shows up as a camera - can't play music... all part of the same problem I guess...
This is a SERIOUSLY annoying problem especially since I just dropped some cash on the new radio which might not even WORK!!! AHHHHH! A problem with the USB cable? Problem with the Ipod? Problem with the stereo? I'm not quite sure what to think...

That is the ONLY cable that will work with that radio:
http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-en/products/product.php?model=CDE-102&view=Specs
From reading the manual for your iPod I'm pretty certain the connector is on the rear of your unit.
You can connect an Auxiliary cable to the headphone out on your Touch to the AUX in on the radio but you will have to control everything with the iPod and it will not charge.
The cable is $30, why don't you ask how much they would charge you to install it?

My device is recognized by itunes but won't sync and failed the sync diagnostic test. I've restarted the computer, reset the ipod . . . nothing works. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

iTunes shows the iPod is connected but doesn't show it in the drop down menu under Devices, and the "sync" option is grayed out, so I can't sync the nano with iTunes. I ran the diagnostic tests and it shows the device is connected, but it failed the sync test - it said nothing was connected, even though it passed the connectivity test. We've had the iPod for a few months but this is the first time we've tried to do anything with it. It's fully charged but just won't sync. I turned it off, turned it on. I reset it. I restarted the computer. I'm not sure where to go from here.

A couple of things to check:
Are there any backups listed in iTunes/settings/devices? Since backing up is the first step of the sync process, iTunes might be stuck trying to read the content of the last backup in order to replace it with the new one.
Copy the whole backup folder to a safe place, delete the backup from the list afterwards and make sure that the folder has no content after that. The folder is located here:
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files
After that, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose "backup". If you can backup manually, transfer your purchases the same way, to copy apps and purchased media to your iTunes. If this worked, you should be able to sync again.
To speed up the sync process, copy your photos to your computer prior to the sync and delete them on your ipod before you start.

BB Z10 not being recognized as usb device in W8

I just upgraded to the Z10 from my 9800 and used BB Link to transfer all the details to the new phone.
I also have a new Dell AIO with w8.
After downloading all the data from the 9800 and plugged in the Z10, the Dell didn't recognise that a new usb device was plugged in and showed nothing on the system icons regarding a usb device.
I resorted to downloading it to our old W7 Dell laptop and it sync'd ok.
Is there an incompatibility with W8 and the Z10? It had no troubles seeing the 9800 when plugged into the same port.
Thanks

Hey sevilla315,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Are you currently connected via Wi-Fi on your BlackBerry Z10? Is the BlackBerry Z10 charging when you plug in the USB cord? Have you tried a different BlackBerry USB cord?
Has it ever been detected on your PC?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.
