New ports and cards

For as much as the Mac Pro costs it should have a couple really needed options. One would be an external SATA 3 port. The second would be a real RAID controller which would do raid 0,1, and 5 (or maybe even 10). I know its not a server, but the extra performance would be a big extra.

If the Mac Pro had dual eSATA ports with SATA PM compatability it would a huge improvement. The cost difference would be minimal.

  • K450 USB Ports and Card Readers not working

    When I plug in devices to my K450 ideacentre desktop USB ports, they are not recognized.  The same for a couple of memory cards I have tried in the card reader.  These are all working fine when put in other computers.  The card reader and USB ports do work when I insert a multi card reader into the USB port or a multi USB port into the USB port (and then use either of those to read the same external hard drive or memory cards that don't show up when installed directly).  Any idea what this could be?  I'm sure it's something simple that I'm missing but I can't figure it out.  I'm running Windows 8.  Thanks for any help!

    I wanted to add to this...I did plug in a CF card the other day and that was recognized.  I then tried my external hard drive directly again in a front USB port and it worked for a while (an hour or so).  Then it suddenly was not there anymore as if I'd ejected it even though I didn't.  Tried to put it back in and nothing.  This tells me it may be a hardware problem since it "recognized" it for a bit.  It's very frustrating.

  • B570 USB ports and card reader result in error of "not accessble" until system is restarted

    Hello,
    I have a new IdeaPad B570. Whenever I plug in my external hdd or other device (like iPod) in any of the three usb ports I get an error that the drive is not accessible...until I restart the computer and then it recognizes it with no problem.  The same thing happens when I put my SD camera card into the card reader.  This is annoying for things that should be plug and play.  However, when I plug in a mouse it connects immediately.
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    Thank you!

  • Standard TCP/IP Port missing from drop down "Create a new port and add a new printer"

    Somehow someone was on my print server and made some changes or added some software.  I found that the "HP Universal Print Monitor" was my only other choice besides Local Port when I went to add a new printer on my 2012 print server
    "Standard TCP/IP Port" was gone.  I ended removing this from the registry (see below) as I could not find any other way to uninstall it.  After this was removed I did reboot and I can still add a normal Standard TCP/IP Port under print
    management in the ports section but this option is gone in the drop down when you add a printer under printers. 
    Any idea how to get this option back into the drop down list?
    HKLM\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTROL\Print\MONITORS\HP Universal Print Monitor

    I followed these instructions and everything is correct and still do not have the tcp/ip option
    Restore missing Standard TCP/IP Port type for Printer
    Filed under: 
    Tips n Tricks — Rahul Patel @ 5:01 pm
    If the TCP/IP port option is missing you need to re-add it.
    First, make sure that the following files are in C:\Windows\System32\:
    tcpmib.dll
    tcpmon.dll
    tcpmon.ini
    tcpmonui.dll
    If they are missing, you will need to copy them there from either the i386 directory (if you have one) or from the original install CD.
    Then, copy the following lines to NOTEPAD and save the file to your desktop as “printer.reg”
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
          [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\Standard TCP/IP Port]
          “Driver”=”tcpmon.dll”
          [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\Standard TCP/IP Port\Ports]
    “LprAckTimeout”=dword:000000b4
    “StatusUpdateInterval”=dword:0000000a
    “StatusUpdateEnabled”=dword:00000001
    Once it’s saved to your desktop, double-click printer.reg and say “OK” to the warning that you will be adding the keys to your registry.
    Reboot the Server and the TCP/IP port option should be back.

  • Changing sshd port and firewall

    I edited sshd config file to use another port. The firewall still has port 22 listening and not the new port. How do I get the firewall to let sshd listen on the new port and close 22. Thanks.

    I found the answer. You need alter the ssh port in /etc/services.

  • 4s not charging (already replaced port and battery)

    Hello, I have an iPhone 4s that has stopped charging. I first replaced the charging port (no change).  Replaced the battery (no change).  It is not recognized when I connect it to my MacBook with iTunes either.  When I put in the new battery it was already charged and the phone works and makes calls, internet, etc… and I know the new port and new battery are good because I put them into another phone and they work on that one. I did a factory reset hoping it was a software issue but I still have the same problem.  The only time it lets me know the charging port is doing anything is if I turn the phone off and then plug it in, it automatically turns the phone back on but it never charges or shows the lightning bolt.  Is it the circuit board???

    Sorry. The fact that you opened it up and attempted to repair it yourself renders it completely unsupportable either here or by Apple.
    Apple does not sell iPhone parts at all. There are no legitimate sources for iPhone parts.
    The parts you used are either stolen, counterfeit, or salvaged. Technically, it's no longer an iPhone.
    Try a site like ifixit.com for advice, take it to a competent 3rd party repair shop, or buy a new phone.
    There is nothing else we can advise.
    Apple won't touch that phone now.

  • Dell 2407wfp and card reader and Mac Pro

    Does the card read work when monitor is plugged into a MacPro?
    I did not install any software but just plugged my 2407wfp into my Mac Pro using DVI port and it recognized the montior. I inserted a cf card into the monitor but nothing happend. Do I need to install any software for the usb ports and card readers to work on my Mac Pro?

    It should do. What I think you've missed is to connect the USB uplink cable (a standard USB2 A to B) from the display to your MP.

  • I have new hard drive in macbook pro(08) and have SATA cable with external power source to old hard drive (10.5.8)via. USB port and newer drive(10.6.8) will not recognize older drive..Do I need to partition newer drive with older disk to recover data?

    I have new HD 750GB Hybrid in 2008 Macbook Pro 17" w/ Snow Leopard 10.6.8  connected to old Hard drive(250GB that had 10.5.8 on it at time of failure) via SATA cable to USB port with external power source.. Computer not acknowledging old HD at all in Disk Utility or otherwise (that I'm aware of)..Do I need to partition New HD and load old(10.5.8) onto partition to recognize older drive for data recovery? Thanks Wayno08

    You do not need to load 10.5.8 onto your new drive in order for a 10.6.8 system to see the contents of a 10.5.8 system.
    You might want to check out the hard drive troubleshooting bootk in the downloads section of this web site:
    http://scsc-online.com
    They also sell a product named Phoenix that can do OS extraction  and volume copying/cloning, but to be honest I don't know if it's appropriate in this case.
    I would suggest the following:
    Open up Terminal.app (under utilities) and type "diskutil list" without the quotes. This is the command line version of Disk Utility. If the external drive doesn't show up at all, then it's likely not connected properly, not getting power, or just plain dead. If it shows up with only a devce name like disk0s16 but no volume it means the drive is seen, the OS just can't make sense of it.
    Assuming the drive shows up, I would try to boot off the original installl disks for the system and run Disk Utility from that. I'm assuming the drive will show up. You'll want to select the option to repair the drive and then perform the option to repair the permissions.
    If the unit isn't showing up, as per step 1, try a different USB port. More importantly with your unit, try it on another side of the unit if possible. If you read the book I referenced above, some of those units have I/O boards that are separated from the logic board. If the cable from the logic board to the I/O card goes bad or has problems, which isn't all that uncommon, some or all of the ports on the I/O card may appear to be bad as well. If you use a USB port on another side, it would be routing out of a completely different I/O path, so that's a potential problem.
    If the drive is only seen with a device name such as disk0s16, it's likely either the index files are corrupt beyond Disk Utility's ability to see them. The  only thing that I think would help would be a product named DIsk Warrior, but I can't guarantee that.
    Disk Warrior can be found at:
    http://www.alsoft.com/diskwarrior/
    The company that I linked in the first link above also makes a product named Scannerz that does HD and system testing. The Scannerz/Disk Warrior combination make a good pair because the complement each other....Scannerz does what Disk Warriror can't and Disk Warrior does what Scannerz can't. However, at this point I'm not too sure getting a tool like Scannerz would be of much use because it sounds like the  damage has already been done.
    Let us know what happens.

  • HT204384 USB Port and SD card port not working

    My USB ports and my SD card port do not work. They have both worked previously, but now do not read anything on my new Mac Book Pro.

    If you are still under warrantee, take advantage of it and go to the Apple store.

  • My Mac Mini and MacBook, both running Mountain Lion, say that a brand new 16gb SDHC card is not readable. What's going on? Is it the card?

    I'm using a brand new SanDisk 16gb SDHC card and the moment I put it into the reader it says "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" with options to Initialize Ignore or Eject.
    Any thoughts?

    Hello people.
    I cryied long enough, browsing the Internet looking forward to a solution for the same case you are stating here. That said, I do not want you to suffer any longer the way I did if you run out of solutions...
    In my case, I was trying to copy images from my SD-HC 2 memory card (San Disk, 8GB) to my computer (Mac). I was using a chinese memory card reader (Kino, "Mini Multi in One memory card reader", model SY-682, USB 2.0). The memory card reader/hub used to work just fine before, but till recently it didn't...
    I had a suspicion on my OS updating, since I used to copy images from this SD Card to my computer on a monthly basis (I used to have Mac OSX 10.6.8, and a technician recently changed my Mac's operating system to 10.7.5 or so, as far as I can detail... It wasn't a god job what he did, but anyway)...
    My husband saw me crying in front of the computer after reading and chasing to a lot of Google searches, and what he did was simply this:
    I used to put the memory card in the reader, and then plug the reader into the Mac's USB port... And it didn't work... Right?
    He, instead, did it backwards: he plugged the memory card reader to the Mac's USB port and THEN slide the memory card into the slot of the memory card reader...
    By doing this, you do not get to see the image of the memory card in your Mac's desktop, BUT: if you open a new Finder window, you will see the image of the memory card into the left margin of the window, right behind the "Devices" title... In my case, the memory card image just read "EOS_DIGITAL", as I use to take pictures with a Canon EOS camera...
    Anyway, I hope this helps, and please replicate this answer to those in the same suffering I used to be till 15 minutes before.
    Good luck.

  • USB ports and memory card slots not working

    My Pavilion a6120n desktop has worked brilliantly ever since I purchased it. As of last week the 2 usb ports in the front and the 2 unused usb ports in the back have stopped working. My printer is plugged into one rear port and my wireless mouse is plugged into a second rear port and these work fine.  I generally use a memory stick for data swapping or the card reader slots (which have also stopped working). I no longer see the memory card icons in the "Computer" window. When installing something new the "New Hardware Found" statement pops up but the driver install always fails. I think it is a software issue but there are no usb drivers to download on the HP/support site that I can find. . . so . . . Below is what I have tried so far.Run antivirus software. Full scan & memory scan - no issuesRun malewarebytes full scan - no issues I have tried restarting several times with no success. Restore to several previous restore points = failedRestarting computer in repair mode = failedRun the repair disk that I had made = failedChecked the power management for each usb port to see if the power was routed properly = okRemoved the case cover and carefully inspected the wiring and connectors.finally I tried uninstalling the usb drivers = failed  Upon restarting the computer the last time the startup file must have failed and after several hours of attempting a repair I had to reinstall the Window 7 completely. Still no usb or memory card function. Any help would be appreciated Thanks,MrBob38

  • USB Ports and AGP Video Card on same IRQ

    I've got a tough one.  I have 6 USB ports.  Call them 1,2,3,4,5,6. Ports 1 and 2 work fine with my new USB 2.0 80GB External Harddrive.  This pair of ports 1 and 2 are direct into motherboard.
    However system crashes when I plug USB 2.0 External Drive into ports 3,4,5,6. These are Dports with cables that plug into the MB.  One of these Dports has the four error lights which are all green.  Western Digital has cautioned against sharing this drive with other IRQs.  Says that the video card and the WD harddrive require dedicated IRQs...but I have no control of how W XP assigns them.
    Ports #3-6 work fine with mouse,  scanner, and printer etc. However they fail when trying to use WD External Hardrive.
    I also checked IRQ settings and IRQ 16 is used for a USB Port and for my MSI AGP video card.  I believe this conflict is the cause of the problem.
    So help..how do I fix this dilemma?  
    I have Windows XP and see no way to change IRQs.
    BIOS does not even show IRQ as a choice..only 1-15.  Also BIOS is latests version for my MSI 845G Max L MS-6580 mother Board.  USB drivers are all Intel.  Video Card Is MSI AGP MS-8878 G4Ti/MX 420 w TV out.  Bios and Drivers are current.
    How can I run the USB 2.0 External Harddrive in Ports 3-6?

    I did load new Intel INF Drivers and AGP drivers yesterday.
    No luck USB Ports 3-6 still fail with External Hard Drive.
    I'm not clear on how to turn back on AICP or ACIP.  BIOS?
    Also not IRQs 16-23 are listed with active devices on the Device Manager
    16 has a USB Controller at 24c2
    16 also has AGP video card
    17 has Audio '97
    17 also has Fast Eternet.
    18 has USB Controller at 24c7
    19 has USB Controller at 24c4
    23 has PCI to USB Interface.  
    Port 3-6 do work fine with mouse, dig cam, Scanner, printer.  These ports only fail with External Harddrive plugged in.  Ports 1and2 work fine with external HD??
    So question is how do I check on the IRQ ports using AIPC or APIC...or whatever the name is...thanks folks.

  • I have 2 new computers and they don't have com ports, how to diag?

    I have 2 new computers and they don't have com ports only lpt
    and usb . what soft can i use for TIP connection . Or I need to buy
    one more with com port. Please , give me advice .I dont have video.I tryed different monitors with coneckor.any effect.

    Hello,
    please review the following thread
    ultra 10 remote access
    I would recommend that you either get a PCMCIA card that provides a serial port, a USB-to-Serial converter or just "lent" a system with a serial port. Usually current notebooks aren't equipped with a serial port.
    The TIP connection works only if the network is configured (after the operating system is loaded).
    What type of system you are trying to diagnose ?

  • Trying change my credit card info from previously lost credit card but can't since it says I'm accessing from new device and asks for security code for a card i no longer have. What can I do?

    I've recently gotten a new laptop and replaced my damaged iphone. Apparently these 2 scenarios qualify as "new devices". This is fine but I also had lost my credit card previously that was connected to my iTunes account, and got a new one with all different numbers. When I try to change my billing information to this new card it won't let me because it says
    "Your account has been accessed from a new device, and you must verify your payment information before you can make purchases."
    and it asks for the security code of the card I had lost and replaced! I am not able to change my billing info to my new card thus because I can't get past this.
    Can anyone please help?
