Problems with USB connection and PC Suite

Connecting your device to the PC via USB doesn´t always work as smooth as it should. You can either use the setup´s repair function or if you are experiencing more serious problems, you need to uninstall all Nokia software form your phone and get it back on to make to work again.
This is how you do it:
Run the Nokia PC Suite setup file again and choose "repair" instead of "uninstall". This should solve some of the connectivity problems. If it didn´t work for you continue with the instructions below.
Go to Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Software, there you need to uninstall all Nokia software (Nokia PC Suite, Nokia Cable driver, PC Connectivity Solution ...)
Download and run Nokia PC Suite Cleaner
Reboot your computer
Download and install PC Suite here.
Connect your phone via USB cable (if possible use a different USB jack) and follow the instructions on the screen.
Now you´re set up to manage your phone with PC Suite!

Hi pudu
thanks for the reply!
so sad, that doesn't work for me. the same with Nokia_PC_Suite_6_84_10_3_eng_us_web.exe
I have widcomm stack for bluetooth, there are lot of concerns about this,
but I do not understand why it cannot be connected via USB, too. Oh, no, it is connected, but that makes no sense

Q since upgrade to iOS6 l have been having problem with wifi connection and getting into App Store and itunes

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

[K8N NEO3-F] Problem with USB keyboard and PS2 mouse after upgrading BIOS

Hello everyone!
I have upgraded BIOS from 1.1 to 1.4... I have Sempron 2600 (64bit) so BIOS v.1.1 did not recognise it.
The motherboard works, but after upgrading I have a small problem with my keyboard and mouse.
When I use USB keyboard my PS2 mouse doesn't work. When I connect PS2 keyboard mouse works!!!
Can you tell me what's wrong?
Thanks, bartull@
PS. Does BIOS v.1.3 recognise Sempron 64bit? Can you give me a link to it?

I think that the problem may have been caused by flashing either with liveupdate or with winflash. I had the problem when i used winflash correctly (shutting down all programs, checking all the boxes to clear bootblock and cmos) but had usb keyboard connected during flash. My suggestion is to reflash with floppy to last bios version that worked using only ps2 mouse and keyboard with the following instructions:
DOS floppy flash shall be performed with :
awfl833d.exe w7030nms.180 /py /sn /wb /cc /cd /cp /f /e
(Replace biosfilename with appropriate version for Neo1/neo2 etc , switches remain the same )
After flash is complete :
TURN OFF PSU (don't restart) wait 15 seconds
Turn on again , press the power button .
Enter BIOS and load optimized defaults (NO OTHER CHANGES) , save + exit
Boot the system again with the floppy in the drive to let the DMI pool build and update itself .
If that works, then reflash to the bios you tried before with the same procedure. Once you have stable system with ps2 keyboard and mouse working, re-enter bios and enable usb and keyboard support as a lot of bios' have it disabled by default for some strange reason.
Good luck.

IPhone Issues with USB Connection and Bluetooth in GM cars

I recently purchased a 2009 Chevy Cobalt SS/TC and it has a USB connection for an iPod. Prior to the 2.1 updated the USB connection worked flawless as well did my handsfree/bluetooth. I had the Apple Genius Bar check my iPhone for any issues due to a corrupt update but everything turned up fine. When i connect to my car I receive an error message (iPod Did Not Authenticate. Check iPod Version). Also my bluetooth will sync but when you answer the phone using hands free you get no audio from the iPhone or speakers in the car. I used a friends iPod and everything worked fine but when I connect with a new iPod it displays the same error. I have contacted GM but they said talk to Apple.
If anyone can help please let me know.
Thanks

Hey J,
Well you got me thinking about your question, and I guess I didn't get it the first time. Again, I own the same car - 09 Chevy Cobalt SS/TC, Black. A lot of fun! I plugged my iPhone into the radio USB connection and get the same error. The GM radio does not support the iPhone. It will not authenticate. The GM radios' firmware is looking for an iPod, not an iPhone. That is expected. As far as the iPhone and it's Bluetooth, again the iPhone's Bluetooth hands free works fine, except I cannot answer the iPhone during an incoming call without first unlocking the iPhone then pressing the mute button on the steering wheel. For what it's worth the iPhone will charge through the USB connection. I'm a little confused on what you are trying to connect. Bottom line, an iPod should always work, an iPhone, not at all. Lastly, I have purchased the GM Personal Audio Link (PAL) and hope to use it with my iPod so I can put the iPod in the glove compartment. Although I have heard a lot of negative comments and issues with it for being slow and sluggish. If so, I'll be sending it back and I'll stay with the USB connection. I'll let you know how that works.

Problems with USB port and connecting ipod?

So I recently got a Macbook Pro Retina and I'm having some trouble with my USB ports especially when syncing my ipod is involved. For some reason, the ipod has trouble connecting and it fluctuates from connecting to not connecting and sometimes, the computer says USB devices are disabled. I've looked this up before and tried the PRAM reset or whatever, but it still doesn't work. I'm not really sure what's going on because when I try to charge the ipod with a wall charger, it works perfectly fine. However, trying to charge it with my computer is a different story. I've tried charging my ipod from both sides of the port but it still does not work. (Also can someone explain how to know whether the USB is 3.0 or 2.0?) Thank you:) This problem does not involve my ipod because I recently just got it back from servicing.

I went through all said steps.
It is not acknowledging the fact that I have my iPod plugged in at all under the Universal Serial Bus. Or that fact that the USB port is plugged in.
Any more advice??
Thank you so much for any and all help!

Solve Problem with USB Connection / Read this it i...

i can not load maps on my n97 mini. the error 'usb connection lost...' show on the screen in map loader but at the first day i had no problems.
i wonder why. i look for driver, ovi suite, pc suite, usb at the pc, read in the forum and many more. but nothing solve the problem. after 2 days i use accidentally the original cable which comes with the nokia n97 mini (it is a ca-101) and all my problems are gone ! bevor i use an 'old' ca-101 cabel from my n82 and i can not upload a map but the handy is shown in the pc system with all drivers and no problems. only loading big megabytes data on the handy crashes the usb connection. with the n97 mini ca-101 cabel no problem with gigabytes. i look for another ca-101 cable from the 6220 from my wife and i have the same problems (i never used bevor this cable for a connection to any handy ! it was brand new !). it seems that 'old' ca-101 cabels do not handle big data with the n97 mini. i look on the gold spring clips in the micro usb and could see that the are a little smaller and not so high in the jack in the 'old' cables. all three cables are original from nokia and not from china ! if you are also problems look on the produkt id on the plastics. if the letters are gold you have a cable like my n97 mini cable, but if the letters are black on a silver button you have an 'old' cable.
i hope i can help another with this maniac problem
greetings

I can verify this on win7 with latest PC suite.
I was using the cable that came with my 6500s as I didn't want to tackle the rats nest of wiring behind my pc.
This cable is a ca101 with silver writing on the plastic tab, made in China.
Using this cable, my 6620c would not complete a backup, it would just sit for hours on 2-4%.
Tested with the ca101 cable that came with the 6620c (gold writing, made in Thailand).
This time the backup completed in about 2 minutes.
Thank you so much for finding this, it has been driving me crazy!

Airport Extreme - problem with usb printer and usb disk

I have Airport extreme with firmware 7.1. I try connect usb disk and usb printer with usb-hub to airport. I can't get disk or printer working. Also try connect only disk or printer without usb-hub to airport getting same problem. How I get disk and printer working with wireless network (windows pc computers)?
1)
My printer is HP PSC 1210 all-in-one ( http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=90764&lc=fi&cc=fi&dlc=fi&lang =fi&cc=fi&y=0&x=0 )
- printer seems working fine after installing bonjour printer installing wizard.
- I get error (in windows) when I try print document from word. Error only says "error printing" in status value.
- In airport utility all seems ok. Airport see usb printer "Hewlett-Packard psc 1200 series"
- printer protocol is RAW and driver manufacture HP (also try with microsoft driver)
2)
USB disk is Targa Databox II 250
- Airport utility says "Disk needs repair. Errors were found with a disk connected to your airport base station. please connect the usb disk to your mac or pc and use disk utility or another disk application to repair the disk"
- I have connected Targa usb disk to windows pc and run scandisk and defreg. No errors found in windows. Result..no help for airport

I have a similar problem to your second issue. Tried connecting a Netdisk to the USB port of the Airport Extreme and it also said there was a problem with the disk. Have performed a low level format on the disk and Airport Extreme still complained the disk had a problem.
After unplugging the disk, my route decided to stop allowing wireless connections even after rebooting. Ended up having to hard reset the Airport Extreme and reconfigure it with my old settings to work again.
FWIW, the first Airport Extreme I purchased today only worked on 802.11a and steadfastly refused to work on b/g so had to get a replacement. I suspect Apple's quality control is not quite as good as it used to be.

Imac having problems with USB connections

My Imac keeps intermittently losing connectivity with USB devices.
Frequently, after the machine has been sleeping it fails to recognise the USB pen drive - which I tend to leave plugged in. Also, on several occasions it's lost printer connectivty. ( which is connected via USB cable)
Rebooting cures the problem but this is a complete pain!
Is there any way to force the machine to simply rescan available and connected hardware?
it's got to be ultimately embarrassing that this is something that Windows does–surely my Mac can too!

Open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem & the Startup right after that for clues.

Problems with USB port and song transferring;

Hi! I just got an iPod and I am having problems with it. My computer doesn't have a Hi-Speed USB port, even if it's 9 months old. Some of my friends don't have it either but they still are able to transfer songs onto their iPod. For mine, it keeps saying "Do Not Disconnect." I waited for 5 hours last time I got it and it still isn't working.
I also updated my iPod software today and the iPod icon isn't appearing on the bar to the left in iTunes. I'd really appreciate any help on this! As well as if I really need to do something about the ports or if it could function like this normally.

Problem with SQL connection and a Collection

hi all,
I have two problems with sql...
1. how can I assign the values of a resultset to a collection?
2. how can I close the sql connection, because when I close the statement and connection error shows me in the resultset
thanks!

Hello Pablo,
RetrivingResults In Collection:
1)   use getObject method, and assign it to collection.
          Collection c_obj=new ArrayList();
         while(rs.next())
                c_obj.add(rs.getInt(Project_ID), rs.getString(Project_Name));
Closing ResultSet
2)               The close() methos of ResultSet closes the ResultSet object, like bellow
                ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT a, b FROM TABLE2");
                rs.close(); //Closes the result set

Problem with USB speakers and new Mac Mini

I have a USB sound system consisting of a pair of Harman Kardon soundsticks and a woofer from probably 10 years ago (bought and used originally with a Mac). I have tried driving it my new Mac Mini. It works fine for about a minute; then the music stops. Here's what I've tried to diagnose the problem:
1. The problem does not occur when these speakers are driven from my Macbook Air (about 3 years old).
2. The OS and iTunes software is up to date on both machines (10.9.5 and 12.0.1.26).
3. It does not depend on which USB port I use on the Mac Mini.
4. Using a port on a USB extender on the Mac Mini does not solve the problem.
5. The iTunes Preference settings are the same on both machines.

Sorry, no actual experience with USB Audio devices.
I found this in the Pro forum, but the outlook doesn't seem good:

Problems with internert connect and OS X 10.4.11

Ever since I installed Tiger and then updated to 10.4.11, I have been having a frustrating problem on both of my computers.
On my IMac, when I click on connect (Internet connect), it tells me that authorization has failed. I open system preferences Network and click on assist me, then open diagnostics. As it goes through the diagnostic routine, the internet connection opens, and the network diagnostics says that the internet connection appears to be operating normally. When I close the connection and then try to open it with internet connect, same thing. Check diagnostics, same thing.
On my eMac, I cannot connect at all. The diagnostics says that the ethernet is not plugged in...it is not recognizing the connection. I unplugged the ethernet cable and plugged it into my laptop. Same cable, same setting, same everything. It works fine. So, I'm guessing it is something in the software. I have repaired the permissions and the system. Verification says No problems.
Any suggestions? Please!
Abe

Is there a problem with USB speakers and Final Cut Express HD?

I have audio only through my internal speaker for Final Cut - however all other sounds play through my USB Harman Kardon speakers fine.
I have tried sending the audio out to my M-Audio head too - and that has been fruitless.
I am really frustrated - I reinstalled the OS. And ran it with only Final Cut and the OS and still have the same issues. Even if I drag an MP3 into Final Cut it plays through the internal speaker. I also notice that the audio really lags behind the video when it plays through the internal speaker - if that means anything. I have made sure that the Canvas Setting is correct.
Tech support for the most part has been nice, but they are unable to help me.
Please help!!!! And thanks in advance.

Problem with Hibernate Connection and MySQL

I have the following setup:
J2EE web-application, Java Servlets, Jsp, Hibernate for DB persistence, MySQL 4 (InnoDB tables)
I have not specified any connection pool parameters (c3p0) in my hibernate.cfg.xml, as the default settings should suffice for my purposes.
I use the SessionFactory object as follows.
In my database access class, I have a static declaration that initialises the new SessionFactory.
Then, I use Session session = sessionFactory.getSession(); and session.close(); to do my DB access.
Likewise, when storing data into the DB, I use a Transaction object, and use transaction.commit(); at the end of database access.
The problem is:
When I store data into the database, the changes do not occur on the website. In other words, the data gets stored into the tables (I check that via phpMyAdmin) but when accessing it, it only gets the old data. This is a serious problem as I am developing a website with attached CMS that will be used to update the pages.
The OTHER problem is:
Instead of having a static initialisation of the SessionFactory object, I created a new one every time I needed to access the database. Although I had a sessionFactory.close(); statement at the end of the database acccess, I got an exception:
"java.sql.SQLException: User db_user already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections"
At the very moment I don't have access to my code.
If somebody has a suggestion or a solution to the problem, please reply.
Also, I will supply any code that is necessary to identify the problem.
Anders

Thanks for the tip, but how do you mean to update the object?
Here is the code that stores the data into the database:
'sessionFactory' is a static SessionFactory object.
     public static int saveOrUpdate ( Object object ) {
          int flag = 0; // 0 is true
          LOG.info("CMSLogic >>> saveOrUpdate() - object: " + object );
          Session session = null;
          Transaction transaction = null;
          try {
               session = sessionFactory.openSession();
               transaction = session.beginTransaction();
               LOG.info("CMSLogic >>> saveOrUpdate() - object to save or update: " + object );
               session.saveOrUpdate(object);
               // Flush the session
               if ( session!= null )
                    session.flush();
               transaction.commit();
          } catch ( Exception e ) {
               e.printStackTrace ();
               transaction.rollback();
               flag = 1;
          } finally {
               try{
                    if (session != null) {
                         session.close();
               } catch (Exception e) {
                    LOG.error("CMSLogic >>> saveOrUpdate() - threw exception: " + e);
          return flag;
     }Further, here is the code that fetches the data from the DB:
     public static Item getItemByURL ( String url ) {
          // Verify the URL
          if ( url.charAt(0) == '/' ) url = url.substring (1);
          String [] urlArr = url.split( "/" );
          LOG.info("BusinessLogic >>> getItemByURL() - split url: urlArr.length: " + urlArr.length );
          for ( int i = 0; i < urlArr.length; i++ )
               System.out.println ( urlArr[i] + ", " );
          if ( urlArr == null ) return null;
          if ( urlArr.length == 0 ) return null;
          if ( urlArr.length > 4 ) return null; // If the path depth is more than 3 levels, abort
          // Fetch data from DB
          List<Item> items = null;
          Session session = null;
          Query query = null;
          try {
               session = sessionFactory.openSession();
               if ( urlArr.length == 1 ) {
                    query = session.createQuery(
                         "FROM Item WHERE section.sectionKey LIKE 'root' " +
                         "AND filename LIKE '" + urlArr[0] + "'" );
               else if ( urlArr.length == 2 ) {
                    query = session.createQuery(
                         "FROM Item WHERE section.sectionKey LIKE '" + urlArr[0] + "' " +
                         "AND filename LIKE '" + urlArr[1] + "'" );
               else if ( urlArr.length == 3 ) {
                    query = session.createQuery(
                         "FROM Item WHERE section.sectionKey LIKE '" + urlArr[1] + "' " +
                         "AND section.parentSection.sectionKey LIKE '" + urlArr[0] + "' " +
                         "AND filename LIKE '" + urlArr[2] + "'" );
               else { // if ( urlArr.length == 4 ) {
                    query = session.createQuery(
                         "FROM Item WHERE section.sectionKey LIKE '" + urlArr[2] + "' " +
                         "AND section.parentSection.sectionKey LIKE '" + urlArr[1] + "' " +

Problem with USB installer and OS X Mavericks

Hi,
I found an interesting issue with a usb installer for OS X Mavericks where I used the Terminal to evoke OS X Mavericks disk maker utility. The boot able drive was created successfully and I erased my OS X partition and proceeded to install via the USB recovery utility. Unfortunately, while I was installing OS X Mavericks via this usb during the end of the installation the hard drive in my MacBook stopped functioning and apparently it was my computer going into sleep mode, although the monitor was turned on. I just noticed that the progress bar while the installer is unpacking just stopped and got stuck in the counter while saying about a second.
I tried two times installing via the recovery utility and to my surprise the issue occurred again. Therefore I am not using the internet recovery option for OS X and recovering from a Time Machine back up and should be back in Mountain Lion shortly. I think I am going ahead and install in place to avoid further issues and waste of my time.
Therefore, my question is, has anyone experience something similar to what I have described here while using an OS X Mavericks bootable usb installer?
Many thanks for your time and assistance.

Apparently, I am not the only one with this issue this is what an ArsTechnica viewer wrote:
Does the USB Stick installer only work on the computer where it was generated, e.g. due to pre-selected hardware drivers or something? I downloaded 10.9 on an iMac 27" 2011 and created the installer on a 8 GB USB 2.0 stick on that same machine, as described above.
However installation on a (test) MacBook Pro 13" mid 2010 did not work (existing installation was 10.8.5, in case that matters).
I booted successfully from the stick (holding the option key after turning on the MBP), wiped out the hard disk from the Disk Tool, then went on with the installation.
A progress bar appeared, saying something like "Preparing installation. Will automatically restart." The progress bar came to an end, saying "about a second" - and hung forever.
I then quit the installer manually after some minutes of waiting and rebooted without the USB stick, but no bootable partition was found (a blinking disk or so appeared).
I retried twice, noticing that no hard disk noise was to be heard while the progress bar moved (probanly some fixed time interval in the setup routine). Additionally in the Log window there appeared just one line from the very beginning like "Can not connect to /var/run/systemkeychaincheck.socket: No such file or directory"
Exactly like described here by someone else:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5474543?tstart=0
(In fact there are several such entries).
What does the installer do at this point? I am currently re-installing the previous 10.8 via Internet Recovery (the download speed is as expected and steady - so I don't think the Installer is stuck by trying to download something while "Preparing the installation" - or would it?

I am going to try my luck with the OS X Mavericks installer using the DiskMaker X utility once I upgrade in place using Mavericks.
