New SLVR with iSync via USB 1.1 cable

I am trying to get my new Motorola SLVR to transfer phone numbers from my address book using USB 1.1 (I have an old tear-drop mac). When iSync is open, it is not even acknowledging my new phone, even when I do a "scan".
Am I out of luck until I get a newer mac?
It transfers songs just fine.
Thanks,
Phil

The Motorola SLVR L7 is supported now as an iSync device using either a USB or Bluetooth interface, but only with iSync 2.1.1 and OS X 10.4.4 or later.
The short answer, therefore, is that you will have to upgrade your hardware before you can install the software required to support your mobile handset.
If you are looking for a low-cost upgrade path, Apple periodically offers refurbished machines [with full year warranties and current OS packages] at about a 15% or so discount off of retail prices. Currently, a 1.9 GHz iMac G5 17-inch SuperDrive-equipped model with a 160 gigabyte drive is available for $ 1099.00. This package is iSight equipped, and includes FrontRow.

How do I stop my imac OSX from automatically opening itunes 10 when a new device is attached via USB.

How do I stop my imac OSX from automatically opening itunes 10 when a new device is attached via USB? The devices do not pop up in itunes under a sync category, so I can't turn them off one by one, nor would I want to.
I apologize if this has been answered, but I couldn't find the solution for this problem.

Thanks for the reply but it didn't solve the problem unfortunately and I didn't think it would as I only downloaded Firefox for the first time a few days ago even though I have had this problem for over six months using IE.
Anything else that you think is worth a shot?

If still the device is not showing under USB then uninstall the following services from your computer.
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if unable to uninstall ignore and move to next)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Restart your computer once after the uninstallation is completed and then download latest version of iTunes from http://WWW.apple.com/iTunes/download
Locate the iTunes setup file and right click the file and run the installation file as Administrator and let the installation complete.
Then check if your device gets deteced in iTunes and if still the device is not detecting in itunes then go to device manager and see under Usb if you can see Apple Mobile Device Support Driver and continue with the step. 5 of above given link in my previous post. And if still thedevice is not showing under USB then right click on your device under potable device and click update driver and first check for updates automatically and see under USB if you see the driver now and if not then go back to device under portable device select update driver, let me choose driver from the list, Have disk, browse file in the following location " C://Program Files/Common Files/Apple/Mobile Device Support/Drivers and select usbaapl file and install the same (if you can't find the driver on above location then look for the driver in Program Files(x86) instead of Program files and if you can't find usbaapl then look for usbaapl64 and complete the installation and then restart the computer and check if your device get recognized in iTunes.
Note: when installing the drivers keep the iTunes closed till the drivers installation is completed.

Issues transferring photo/video from iPhone 6 to Macbook Pro running OS X 10.8.5 via USB-to-Lightning cable

Hello all—
Recent upgrader to iPhone 6. I have a mid-'09 Macbook Pro running OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion and I'm seeking to transfer video I just shot on my iPhone 6 to my Macbook Pro. They are large files so I need to transfer via USB-to-Lightning cable as I don't have wi-fi capability to do the upload. However I can't access the iPhone 6 as a storage device through finder or image capture and can't figure out another way to transfer the files non-wirelessly. Any suggestions? The old iPhoto '09 on here won't let me import, either.

Why virtualize Leopard and not Snow Leopard?
I guess I did it once in Parallels:

But to be honest, I have forgotten how!
Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) installed into Parallels is another matter altogether!

Using SonyEricsson z710i and iSync via USB

I just recently upgraded to a new iMac running 10.5.1 Leopard. Using Feisar's iSync plug in, I've been able to get my phone to sync via Bluetooth, but not via USB. On Feisar's web site they noted that a new bug has developed as of OS10.4.10 that causes USB based syncs to fail. Does anyone know of a fix for this problem? I'd like to be able to sync my phone when it's docked and charging...

The apparent bug in Apple's USB drivers relates to the initial detection of the phone via USB during setup. Since 10.4.10 some phones that iSync was able to detect when scanning for devices, it no longer can. (iSync 'sees' more than one serial port connection, but chooses the one you can't sync on).
Unfortunately, nothing seems to have changed in either 10.4.11, 10.5 or 10.5.1, and there's no workaround. If you previously successfully synced via USB in an earlier OS X, then syncing still continues to work after upgrading if you don't delete the phone - it's just the phone detection that doesn't.
iSync's ability to sync some Sony Ericsson phones via USB was only added in 10.4.9 for a limited number of phones, and has never been as straightforward as the more established Bluetooth syncing.
For that reason (and many others) we would always recommend Bluetooth syncing over USB.

Can't print on my F4580 all in one from my MacBook with OSX via usb

Hi Forum,
I have a HP F4580 All-in-one printer/scanner which worked fine on my old laptop with windows vista.
The laptop has now died so i thought I'd try Apple.
I now need to print some stuff off for work but it doesnt seem to produce anything.
It's plugged via usb and its has been setup on the Mac through the System Preferences and Printer & Scanners icon but when you click print on the document you want the little printer icon pops up on the dock at the bottom but the printer never prints anything!!
Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong or if it evens works through OSX.
Please help.
Many Thanks Willow1980

No problem!
I would recommend repairing the disk permissions on your computer by following this Apple document here. Once this is complete, make sure your Apple updates are complete by following this Apple document here.
Now, I would reset the printing system on your computer. Please follow this Apple document here. If your USB connection isn't responding correctly, then follow this Apple document on USB: Troubleshooting Error Messages. I will be looking forward to hearing from you again!

New classic with third part USB pci card

Hi,
Just got a new 120gb classic for my son. But it does not
seem to work with his computer. He has an old g4 tower, with
third part usb 2 card. That worked fine with his 30gb video,
but the new 120gb classic is not even recognised by the system.
It is recognised by my g5, and my older 160gb classic is recognised
by his g4.
My guess is that the current generation of ipod classics
is not compatible with the third party pci usb card. Aarg.
Does anybody know of a cheap usb 2 pci card that will work
with both a g4 and a new "classic" ipod?
Any other thoughts?
Thanks
David

I need your help regarding Macbook Pro with FCS3 via USB

Sorry for the double posting, I need your help...
I am producing an independent TV movie. We are shooting in HDV with a Sony Z5.
Currently I am using a 2007 iMac (1gb) for the FCS3. I am considering buying a Macbook Pro 15' i7, because I need the portability as well as a WD 1TB portable external drive.
Just when I am about to buy the machine I started to read all about the USB vs. the Firewire. What should I do? The MBP only have one firewire port...if I use an USB portable external drive means that I won't be able to use FCS3 properly and that buying a MBP will mean spending money in something that I won't be able to make it work properly??
Thanks for your help!!!!

Hi there,
As Patrick said its Firewire hubs you should avoid along with directly connecting your media drive via USB. USB hubs are fine for connecting peripherals (keyboards, tablets, mice etc). directly connecting USB media drives is not for streaming video due to their method of sending data in packets rather than as the continuous stream that firewire provides. Firewire hubs just seem to cause all sorts of headaches to those that have used them, I cant give you a specific reason other than splitting the available FW bandwidth (someone with more knowledge on this will have to chime in), its more just inherited practice.

Sync droid mini with pc via USB?

Just purchased a droid mini - how do I sync this with my pc via USB cable - to sync contacts, calendar and transfer pics from teh phone to the pc, etc?
I had an HTC previously which came with sync software. I don't use google calendar / contacts - and have no intention of doing so. I simply want to synch the phone with my pc via USB.
Any help would be appreciated.

Use PDA to comunicate with instrument via usb?

Hi
if that I have PDA with usb host, is it possible that i use it to communicate with the bench top instrument by using labview pda module?
any PDA models recommended?
thanks
~toko~

Hi Stanley,
I read some of your messages in threads about USB comm in PDA/Smartphones. I just wanted to confirm with you a couple of requirements, as it seems you're the right person to ask to. I am trying to communicate our device with a HTC Kaiser PDA via USB. My OS is Windows Vista 32-bit, the handset's is Windows Mobile 6 and I am using the Mobile module.
The VI, in order to see the miniUSB port on the PDA as serial (VCP - virtual com port), you say that:
1) The PDA has to be USB HOST (or more precisely OTG) ;
2) The VI will see it as serial (I imagine then, there must be a sort of FTDI chip doing this translation USB-Serial - how else could this translation be implemented?)
Is this correct?
I want to test first the communication between the HTC and the PC. Other questions are then:
1) If I write data to the mini USB using VISA to a serial port in the VI, looking at the signals on the CRO, they should look like USB NOT SERIAL correct (after the translation)?
2) If the signals are USB then I will have to connect it to the USB port on the PC. However I quite don't see how I am going to talk to the device, as on the handset side I will have COM ports and on the USB side I will have USB endpoints, which have completely different characteristics. Any suggestions?
3) Let's assume the USB controller on the HTC side has NOT host capabilities. Is not possible in any way that my VI could see the port still as serial and send/receive data (just waiting for a host to power up the line and start the communication)??
4) The INF generator using the Driver Wizard for Windows Mobile 6, together with the VISA API wouldn't work for the case the VI doesn't see the port as serial? And then I could use the VISA interrupt blocks etc...?
As I wrote many questions, if you'd like a phone call could be undertaken to ease things, as I certainly need to clarify those questions..
Thanks for the time.
Best regards,
Edgar Charry

Can I sync my new Blackberry with iCal via my .Mac account???

My company just got me a new Blackberry 8830 (I would have preferred an iPhone but my company won't allow it).
I'm running Microsoft Office 2004 and use Entourage for my email and contacts. These sync with my Blackberry just fine thanks to the company's Enterprise server -- no problem.
Here's my problem: I like iCal much better than the Entourage calendar. In the past, I've used my .Mac account to sync sink my iCal calendars on both my home and work computers (both are iMacs).
What I'd like to be able to do is sync my Blackberry's "calendar" with everything I've got in iCal. I'd like to do this without having to USB connect my Blackberry with my Mac every time I want to do this. My understanding is that PocketMac only works when you use a USB cable. I'd also prefer not to have to export my iCal calendars into Entourage.
Any suggestions?

IPOD dock connector touch wheel in New BMW with built in USB connection

HELP! I have a 2008 BMW 5 series that came with a built in USB Ipod connector.
I have an older IPOD dock connector touch wheel that plugs right in to the plug that BMW gave me but won't read on the display.I tried another plug and still, the Ipod is not working in the car. Do I have to download additional software? Is my Ipod model not compatible with the new BMW ipod system. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

Are you hoping to have the iPod serviced by Apple or a third party repair company? If you want Apple to do the service, see this link.

How can I use a firewire hard drive on a new Macbook with one USB-C only?

How can I use a firewire hard drive on a new MacBook with only one USB-C?

kaz-k is correct about FireWire not being supported by any possible connector or adaptor to USB-C and never will. However, there is no such thing as a FireWire Hard Drive. There are only SATA (or if it is a really old one, ATA,) drives in a FireWire enclosure. If you can remove the drive from the case/enclosure - bust it open somehow if it is a glued-up unit - then the drive can be placed into a regular USB3 enclosure. Then it can connect to the new MacBook via any one of the adaptors Apple sells.

Contacts created on iPhone won't sync with exchange, only via USB

When I create a new contact on my iPhone from within the phone app, it doesn't get synced to my exchange server, in fact it doesn't show up anywhere in the contacts app or under contacts in the phone app. If I create a new contact from the contacts app it only allows me to create it in my exchange contacts folder but it does sync properly. When I create a contact from within the phone app I am not given a choice of group at all and unless I have a recent call from that contact, it is nowhere to be found on my phone or computer. So the question is how do I get new contacts created on my phone from within the phone app to sync with exchange? The only way I have been able to sync contacts created within the phone app thus far has been with iTunes via USB which works fine but I want to sync contacts bidirectionally via exchange ota.
Thanks for any help

I have more information to share.
When you launch the Contacts app on the iPhone, hit the "Groups" button in the top left. What I see on that page are these 3 sections:
All Contacts >
From My Mac
All From My Mac >
Group A >
Group B >
Group C >
etc
Foobar (Exchange)
Foobar Global Address List >
After many hours of trial and error, I have come to the understanding that the iPhone Contacts app has potentially multiple data stores which seem to correspond to each sync source configured (eg AddressBook, Exchange, etc.) Refering to my example above, I have enabled Contacts syncing with my AddressBook (via iTunes) and an Exchange mail account, so my iPhone shows 2 separate sections with the generic "All Contacts" appearing as the first section at the top.
Entering the contact listings page via the "All Contacts" button will show an integrated list of contacts from all sync sources (in my case, two: contacts from AddressBook on my Mac and contacts from my Foobar Exchange account).
If you click the "+" button to add a new contact when you have entered the listing page via "All Contacts", it seems the record is only stored on the iPhone and does NOT get sync'd. Specifically, it does not get synced to the Mac AddressBook nor to the Exchange account.
However, if you have entered the listings page via any group in the "From My Mac" section or "Foobar (Exchange)" section, and create a new contact via the "+" button there, that contact DOES get sync'd to the appropriate sync source (AddressBook or Exchange in my case).
Furthermore, if you enter the listings page via a specific group in the "From My Mac" section (eg "Group A") and create a new contact from in there, it will appear in "Group A" in AddressBook after sync. If you enter the listings page via the generic "All From My Mac" button, then the new contact will be added to whatever group you have specified in iTunes (under the iPhone Info tab etc. as mentioned in the prior post).
All up, I guess, there may not be a bug here after all. I must simply always remember to add new contacts when I am in the "All From My Mac" section, if I want them to be synced to my Mac.
However, I do think that it's a confusing and poor user experience (and may lead to loss of data) if you add new contacts from the generic "All Contacts" entry point, because they will NOT be synced as you'd expect them to. I am guessing this also might only happen when you have multiple sync sources defined, simply because the app doesn't know which sync source to associate them with: AddressBook or Exchange? But, at the point of adding that new contact, the app should prompt you for the sync source to use, or at least WARN you that your contact is going to be an orphan record solely residing forever more on your iPhone. If you ever reset your iPhone those contact records would be lost forever.
