I’m having serious problem to connect an usb to irda device.
My Ibook G4 12” 1,33 Ghz doesn’t want to recognized this device.
Any other usb devices it recognized immediately but this one no!!!
Is there ayone that can help me?
I need this device so that I can connect my Ibook with my mobile phone.
Thanks a lot
Alex
IBOOK G4 12" 1,33 Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

Please, take a look in Apple System profiler at USB pane should be visible this USB dongle. Take a look on vendor information, what kind of chip installed on this IrDA dongle and try to find driver for this chip. I think it should work out.

  • Problems with usb / sd removable devices (not/badly copying)

    Hi everybody
    the problem is when I plug an usb stick or a SD card, all with FAT32 fs, GNOME (I use gnome-shell) asks me if I want to mount and open the device.
    so, it loads properly and when it's open I can do all the things you are supposed to do with them.
    The issue first appaired when I copied some pics to an SD card. It appaired the progress bar saying it completed the copy process.
    So I umounted the device and removed it. Some other people said that actually there weren't any files in the SD card.
    Supposing it was bad/corrupted fs I formatted the card and put back the images there. Same issue. I was starting to think the SD card was damaged
    until I had the same problem while copying music to my phone (via USB cable).
    I noticed it created all the files but didn't store any actual data (e.g. size of files was always 0 byte) or even didn't do anything (neither created the file) sometimes.
    Searching the web I found that it wasn't syncing - so they told me to do the sync command on the shell - nothing solved.
    So as I read on the wiki [fstab], I mounted the devices with options "sync,flush", which in fact solved the problem.
    [Actually I later found that it works even without the flush option, just with the sync option]
    Doing so I solved the problem and could copy all the data to the devices.
    What I want to know is: how can I say to GNOME (or anyother GNOME uses to mount devices) "well, whenever I put a removable device, mount it with the sync option" ?
    thank you in advance,
    azzka
    PS: [not so important]: I noticed very slow copying bitrate, and I did what the wiki says about but didn't solve anything. Any ideas?

    Yep HV,
    Verify the discs in the disc utility and see if that works. It'll probably take an hour or so cos the disc utility's performance has been less than favorable.
    Try this: Turn off the computer, disconnect the drives, then restart the computer. Now, re-connect the drives while the computer is running, let them mount and see if you can eject them. One would assume it is a permissions issue, however, with the multitude of glitches appearing with ext drives and USB devices in Leopard it's hard to assume anything.
    Persevere!

  • K7N2 deltas mainboards have a problem with usb devices ??

    Ok here is my problem..
    I had installed WinXP Pro with SP1..
    I got a 20 GB USB2.0 disk.i connected it on the both front or rear usb ports.
    When i tried to transfer files to my usb disk or to my PC, in the middle of the copying, i got "Write Delay Failed" error and lost my usb connection..
    I had to plug it out and in again..
    Now, i have an DSL modem..Last night, i was disconnected from internet and my modem's lights gone..I plug it again, no lights..restarted my PC, also completely shutdown Windows XP..Again no lights..
    Then, formatted PC and installed windows 2000 Pr and SP4, until now, my modem worked fine..But USB 2.0 ports are still no use for my usb disk...
    In bios , it's enabled as USB 1.1+2.0..
    I think this K7N2 deltas have a problem with usb 2.0 devices and Win XP Pro..
    Some guys talking about, removing 9th wire earth, but couldn't understand which wire from where ? From mainboard or from usd device's cable ?
    Those cables are fabricated, i think it's impossible ?
    My processor is Athlon 2500+, ram Twinmos 512 DDR 400
    Thanks for reply

    I'm also having this problem. It's happening with my USB flash disk. I was almost buying another one when I tried it with Windows Vista on the same machine and it worked ok, then I tried Arch Linux (with kernel 2.6.30.5) on another machine and got the same error. After that I tried Ubuntu and it worked ok. Seems that Arch's kernel doesn't like my USB flash disk.

  • MSI K8N Diamond - Boot problems with USB devices attached.

    Hi There.
    I have been seeking the forums, but havent found the answer to my problem yet. 
    This is how it goes with ANY USB devices attached to either of the four USB ports on the Motherboard.
    When i turn on my system, it hangs in the POST right after displaying the BIOS version (Which I have updated to 1.6) - I cant use my Keyboard to get to the BIOS setup.
    Without USB devices attached...
    The system boots without problems. And in Windows XP SP2 i can insert my keyboard, mouse etc. and everything works great - both USB 1.1 & 2.0 devices.
    I have disabled the KB/USB.. in BIOS and I have disabled the "Boot on other device" option as well.
    As I have found on this forum, a lot of people have problems with USB Front panel and D-Bracket (USB ports) connectors causing the system to hang - But my D-Bracket (USB connectors) and my front USB port is at this time DISCONNECTED - so this cannot be the problem.
    The D-Bracket shows the "Bios Sign On" information - and stops at that point 
    Am I having a malfunctioning Motherboard here, or are there any solutions to this problem?
    Please help me as I am desperate to have my system work properly.
    Regards
    Stieper

    Well I have read about that somewhere in here, but my problem is NOT with an USB hub, but with any USB device attached to the motherboard's USB slots. It is driving me nuts to be honest!! I think it might be time for RMA 
    What do you say guys - is my Motherboard ready for RMA, or do I have to try something specific berfore sending it to the retailer??

    also go to to settings>general>reset and reset network settings... if that doesnt work settings>general>reset and reset all settings!
    one of those shall work. The last step would be to restore your device (apple.com/support) HT1414

    Thank you for posting your list of installed Extensions. One of them might be intercepting the menu command. Since you have the Add-on Compatibility Reporter, it's possible that an older add-on that doesn't actually work well with Firefox 5 could be to blame. Could you try disabling the "HP Smart Web Printing" extension and see whether that makes any difference?
    Also, you can simulate a print button on a web site by pasting this to the location bar and pressing Enter. You also can save it as a bookmark for easier access (when scripts are saved as bookmarks, we call them bookmarklets). Hopefully you won't need it for long.

    iPad mail account says problem with 'ssl settings' - can you help me?

    The 4Gs hardware, only 256 MB of RAM, prohibits updating beyond 6.1.6.
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • Satellite M70-190 - problem with USB

    Hi!
    After uninstall Windows XP and BIOS update, i have a problem with USB ports. My USB flash drive does't work. Windows find it as USB flash drive, but i can't find it in "My computer"
    So have anyone idea about this problem?
    PS External HDD works perfect, as USB mouse, and USB WiMax modem.
    Im hoping someone out there can help with this problem.

    Is described issue the same on all USB ports?
    I mean, I have Satellite M70-159 in front of me and since long time I use 8GB SanDisc and 2GB Toshiba USB stick and both devices are recognized properly.
    I still use original Toshiba WXP installation (updated of course).

  • Satellite M30X: Problems with USB 2.0 external HDD

    Hi,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite M30X. I recently bought myself a 200GB External Hard Disc. It has its own Power supply. If I connect it with USB 2.0 to my Laptop it happens to diconnect and reconnect permanantly. Sometimes it works, then I can put Data on the Disc. Then again it diconnects and reconnects many times. I've already tried another USB Port, but there is no difference. It's very strange, because I connected the External Hard Disc to many other Computers (Laptop and Tower) and it ALWAYS works!!! Its only with my Laptop it disconnects and reconnects the whole time. As I said, not always. Sometimes it works for like an half an hour or so then the action starts again ...
    Can somebody help???
    Greez Lutz

    Hi Andrea
    I really dont know why this happen. A friend of mine has the same problem with his desktop. While copy process runs the HDD is suddenly disconnected and there is also acoustic sound when the hardware is removed.
    I have connected his HDD on my Tecra and there is no problem. I really dont know what the problem can be. Maybe there is some problem with OS because I can not believe that there is some contact problem with USB ports.
    If you use many different USB devices at the same time maybe there is some conflict between few different drivers. Sorry but it is not easy to give some precise explanation.

  • Facing problem with USB controllerr & Bluetooth driver

    No configuration or modification of system files is required. If the USB Bluetooth dongle is Mac compatible, just plug it in and open the Bluetooth system preferences pane.
    Not all USB Bluetooth dongles are fully Mac compatible.
