Palm V connecting with sync/charge usb cable to OS X Tiger 10.4.4
I recently bought a very nifty cable that lets my palm v charge and sync with my mac through USB. Sweet, no more bulky charging base, outlet use, or need for a serial anything. =)
But I cant get it to work.
On the package I was supposed to go to
http://shop.brando.com.hk/p5usbsynccharger.php and download the driver.
I am used to windows machines so this seemed normal.
I downloaded this
http://shop.brando.com.hk/files/p5usb_mac_osx10.1.x.zip
Even though I have 10.4.4
So a couple of questions,
First: from examing the package contents can anyone tell me what files I would need to delete if I wanted to revert to pre installation?
Second: I guess I expected my Palm to show up as a disk on my desktop. I have iSync and Palms software for Mac tiger and Palm V (same program) but I am not able to sync (maybe I just dont know what I am doing in the program and this is where I am spending most of my efforts)
My fears are: that palms program would have worked fine with this cable and I didnt need to download this package and by loading it have screwed up palms communication skills. And that I will never get to use this thing.
Sadly I am realizing it will never mesh with iCal no matter what I do.
Boo Hoo
Help appreciated =)
According to your post you downloaded 10.1.x.zip. Linked a little further down the page is another driver labeled 'Newest Mac driver'. It's not the same file you have listed. It's a .sit file which means you'll need Stuffit (if you don't already have it) to expand the file. So, for starters it would probably help to get the current most driver. Additionally there was another link on that page which has help notes. If you haven't already done so then check here to see if there's anything that may assist you. I have a Palm and have no trouble using the Palm Desktop software, even after upgrading to 10.4.4. I too use a USB cable to sync and charge the unit.
Regarding iSync, your model Palm is not on the supported list. You'll most likely need to download Missing Sync to try getting it working with iSync. Also, the Palm never shows up on the desktop as a drive, at least not for me. Please post back with your progress.

I'm new to this and I think I typed a long heading!
Anyway the issue is I have iTunes and just updated it to the latest. I also have various Apple devices however my iPhone won't sync with iTunes. When I connect it using the USB cable it does not appear in the top right corner as does other devices. The cable is fine as it charges and also my PC sees the device. However it does not appear in iTunes so I can't sync music to it.
I've searched the web but all asume iTunes can see the device.

Incase Dual Car USB Charger with Lightning to USB Cable
Hi,
I just buy this item and it seems that the item is not working...
What can i do?
Incase Dual Car USB Charger with Lightning to USB Cable
$39.95
Yakirjddj,
If the charger uses the firewire pins (even though it uses a USB cable) to charge in the car it won't charge the iPhone 3G.
The iPhone 3G supports charging and syncing over USB only, the original iPhone supported charging over firewire in addition.
Hope this helps,

Can I connect TC with ethernet to USB cable?
Can TC work as HD only by connecting to my Imac with ethernet to USB cable?
Please confirm that you have at least two good ethernet cables, which will be needed for the installation.
I understand that you do not need for the Time Capsule to provide a wireless network, and it will only function as a hard drive, correct?
The step by step that we provide will allow you to backup to the Time Capsule using the current modem/router that you have now and also backup using ethernet if you connect the computer directly to the Time Capsule.
This is what you want, correct? -
I have a Powerbook G4. I want to use an iMac desktop, the model that is shaped llike a lamp, as an external monitor. Can I do this with firewire or USB cable or do I have to have a different cable?
You need a network connection and a product such as ScreenRecycler. All such products require a bootable OS on the iMac.

You could try to either return your device to the place of purchase or contact Xperia care and have your device inspected http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/
or buy new flaps from amazon or ebay for example and replace them yourself

I have a 4th generation Ipod Touch. It has been working for months when yesterday the battery started acting werid. I was driving and it was connected with the usb charger cable to my car stereo when all the sudden my music stopped and the stereo could not recognize my ipod at all. When I got back home, I tried to charge it so it wouldnt die but even while on the charger in the wall the battery continued to die. I charged it over night (the first time I have ever charged it over night) desperately to have battery for a 4 o clock plane flight so I would have entertianment. The ipod died over night while on the charger. When I unplugged it from the usb charging cable I noticed that the icon telling me the ipod needed to be charged came up. So I plugged it back in. The charging thunder bolt symbol popped up next to the very small red strip on the left side of the battery indicating that the ipod had no charge to turn its self on. I tried plugging it in on the computer, the wall ac charger and a stereo system made just for the ipod that also pluggs into the wall. I have used 2 different cables, the result being the same that the ipod held no charge, and it wouldnt charge at all while on the charger, and it would imediately die once i take it off the charger.
I have not idea what has happened ....
Please help
THanks!- While charging try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if still problem restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
- However, I really think that the iPod has a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. If defective Apple should give you a refurbished iPod. -
WRT54GS CONNECTION TO MODEM THROUGH USB CABLE WITH AN ETHERNET ADAPTER
The ethernet port on my motorola surfboard modem is damaged but the usb port is fine. I am attempting to connect my WRT54GS (ver 6) router to the modem via a usb cable with a male ethernet adapter. Unfortunately it does not appear that the router is able to accept such an input due to driver or firmware issues. The modem requires me to set up my pc with another driver specifically for the usb connection when i am connected directly. Any suggestions?
Get a new modem, The USB is not meant for that it's meant for wireless network storage.
GoodLuck

IPod will not connect to iTunes. USB cable works (iPod charges)
I can drag and drop files into the iPod and everything. However, it just won't let me do anything under the "Version" tab. I cannot do a system restore or see what version I have. It says it needs a USB cable...but I have 2 and they both work since when I put it in the iPod beeps and charges.
Why won't itunes allow me to restore?Okay, try this:
Click Start, then type "Device Manager"
In the resulting window that comes up, find your iPod driver and delete it by clicking the red "x" icon in the action pane.
After that restart your computer and your iPod, unplugging your iPod in the process.
When you turn you computer and your iPod, plug in your iPod after loggin in.
This should get your iPod working.
After this, I don't know what to do although I can do further research if need be. -
Could not connect Nokia 6303i via USB cable to Win...
Hello guys in this forum
Hello driver development group
This is not a question for help, but more a question for sharing experiences. I recently bought a new Nokia 6303i, worked a little bit with it and finally I wanted to connect it to the PC to enter the contacts from my old phone with the computer keyboard instead of the phonebook keys.
Well, the installation sounded quite easy at a first glance: Download the Nokia OVI suite, connect the Nokia phone to the PC and go on. I did that way, but it just did not work.
The PC I'm using is an Acer laptop, Windows 7 64 Bit system, MS Office 2003, Visual Studio 2003/2005, Firefox, Thunderbird and VMWare Workstation, Comodo Firewall and free-av virus scanner installed. Nothing special, nothing I could not handle, especially no games or other special hardware drivers that could interfere -- most software is installed in virtual machines, so the main computer is rather "naked". I connected the phone to the PC in the "Mass storage mode" to get a drive letter, and installed the OVI suite from the SD card. Worked quite well, and finally I re-connected the phone to the Windows PC.
The phone was detected as "NOKIA" in the Windows explorer. I chose "PC Suite" on the phone and started the OVI suite - but nothing. OVI suite told me: "Detected device: NOKIA. Phone is not in PC Suite mode". Eeeh?!?
I tried it several times, but no chance. Although "PC Suite" was active on the phone, the phone was not recognized. Ok, I though, either a problem with the drivers or a hardware problem. So let's see what an older operating system would tell me. I switched on a Windows XP 32 Bit system in my VMWare virtualisation software and connected the phone. The phone connected but did not directly work. I had to use the "mass storage mode" setting to get a drive letter. I installed the OVI suite that was shipped on the SD card (which deleted itself from the SD card later -- baaad habit, I was hopelessly searching for it later on, but ok...). Then I disconnected the phone, reconnected, chose "PC suite mode" and... perfect, stable connection, OVI suite was working totally fine! So I disconnected the phone and closed the VMware machine again.
Ok, so a problem with Windows 7 64 bit. I deinstalled the OVI suite, downloaded the most recent version from the web which obviously was said to support Windows 7 64 bit, installed, reconnected the phone... nothing. Same situation as before.
I deinstalled OVI suite again and downloaded/installed the most recent version of PC suite -- which was said to contain all connectivity drivers including for Windows 7 64 bit. I connected the phone started PC suite and... well, phone detected, but used in "compatibility mode", although the "PC suite mode" was chosen on the phone. But ok, let's see what I can do in the compatibility mode. Full of hope I clicked on the "address book" in PC suite. The phone reacted, it said "PC suite mode activated". Hoping... Hoping... then it said again "PC suite mode activated". Eeh? It is already activated!?! 10 Seconds later: PC tolds me: "Phone could not be switched to PC suite mode. Shhhhh*t!
I googled as hell, and then I saw that I should use the PC suite cleaner before installing. Ok, PC suite deinstalled, PC suite cleaner used, PC suite reinstalled, phone connected... nothing, same behaviour.
Next tip I read: Install the connectivity driver manually. Ok, everything deinstalled (and I mean, everything! All components in the program list that were entitled to be from NOKIA: PC suite, the two drivers and something else I cannot remember). I downloaded the connectivity driver, connected the phone, phone was recognized as "NOKIA" like before. I installed PC suite again and... nothing. Same behaviour. Arrr*h!
The final tip that really helped: I read somewhere in the web that Windows 7 was using the wrong drivers. I took a look in the control panel, looked up the NOKIA phone in the device manager, took a look to the drivers, and indeed. The driver that Windows 7 was using was somehow from 2008!?! So that was an internal driver of Windows 7 and not the newly installed Windows 7 driver which I manually installed!
I clicked on the button "Update drivers" for the "NOKIA" phone and manually chose the connectivity drivers in the "C:\Program Files\NOKIA\Connectivity..." or-something-like-that folder. Suddenly the phone was re-recognized: "NOKIA phone USB parent". That was new!
But now, the PC suite on the PC did not recognize the phone at all andmore. Hmmm, a new look to the device manager revealed the reason: A couple of new devices were detected, but all with an exclamation mark. Drivers not found. But with a little bit of luck... I opened every such device in the device manager and told Windows to update the drivers. It asked me for a path where the drivers were saved, and here I just specified the path of the nokia connectivity drivers again (this "C:\Program Files\NOKIA\Connectivity..." or-something-like-that folder). That worked! Now I got one after the other the COM-port driver, OBEX and etc...
At the end I startet PC suite... whahoooo, it works! Phone connected and address book editable! Uff. Nice.
So a deep driver problem.
Then I did a near-mistake: I wanted to update the operating system on my NOKIA phone. I installed the phone update manager in Windows 7, left the PC suite, started the update manager and it immediately recognized the phone. I started it and in told me: "Do not touch the phone or anything", time 15 Minutes. I waited and waited and saw the phone screen disappearing, but ok. I saw the USB drivers being disconnected and trying to be reinstalled, but Windows did not recognize it. But I did not touch anything. Then, the Hiobs-message from the update manager: "Phone disconnected during update. Please swich on and reconnect". Whaaaaa?!?!?
Ok, disconnected the phone, switched off, switched on, reconnected. But Windows 7 did not recognize it correctly anymore. Some unknown devices in the device manager, only the "NOKIA phone USB parent" was still working correctly, and there was now an unknown device which I was not able to activate by specifying drivers manually (it was most likely a USB flash device what I figured out later). And the phone behaved strangely, sometimes crashing when hoovering through the menues... EEEhhh.....
Ok, emergency plan, phone nearly destroyed. I again turned on my VMware and connected the phone to the OVI software in the virtual Windows XP. Still worked fine. I clicked on the update menu item of OVI suite. OVI suite was detecting the phone software, downloaded the new version and started to update. Again it told me: Wait 15 minutes, do not touch anything. And I did. I saw Windows reconfiguring its hardware settings as new hardware was detected, and there were problems in installing a "USB flash device", but the software did not cancel. And finally: Update successful! Uff... I checked the phone (*#0000#), and it was ok. Uuuuh.
Then I switched off the virtual machine, conected the phone again to Windows 7, but there was still a driver problem. Most devices had an exclamation mark. I manually deinstalled all the NOKIA drivers in the device manager and actuivated the "Delete driver from system" checkbox whereever possible -- including the "NOKIA phone USB parent". I removed the phone from the USB cable and plugged it on again. Now windows re-recognized it as "NOKIA" phone, but again used its own internal -- wrong -- driver set. I switched the driver again as described above to the Nokia Connectivity drivers in the program folder, got again the "USB parent" and the unknown devices, manually specified the drivers for the unknown devices by using the path to the Connectivity drivers and finally I got the situation from before the update: Nokia PC suite running fine, I can access my contacts and do anything I like in Windows 7 64 bit.
That was a nightmare and took me about two days intensive research and testing. What a mess...
I hope I could help anyone of you with this when you have trouble installing the PC/OVI suite in Windows 7. And don't try to update the phone in Windows 7, it's dangerous at the moment!
Probably you guys from the driver development can take a more close look to Windows 7 64 bit and its own pre-installed drivers. Does anyone of you have similar experiences?
Best regards,
Mighty KnifeUhm, I'm experiencing the same problem with some Linux relase. Unfortunately I was unable to solve the problem if not installing a windows emulator. Maybe you're already familiar with it, but it seems the only solution. Through google I found this, I hope I made you a favor.
