Probs connecting through PCMCIA USB 2.0 card

Hi,
Looking to see if others are having this problem, and hopefully someone who's resolved it:
I have no problems connecting iTunes to my iPod (60G) using the built-in USB 1.1 port on my laptop, other than it's a terribly slow connection. I bought a USB 2.0 CardBus (PCMCIA) PC Card Adapter from CompUSA (I believe this uses a NEC USB chipset), and can't get the iPod to connect through that port. I can successfully use other devices using that card - USB mouse, and USB memory keys - no problems at all.
I'm running Windows XP Home SP2 on a Dell Inspiron - I mention this, as I've noticed a few other posts around the internet various problems with PCMCIA cards on Dell laptops, and perhaps it's relevant.
The first few times I tried this, I was getting a BSOD with a "BADPOOLHEADER" error. Tried rebooting several times, same thing. After running the 5R's (all of them, which took quite a while on the USB 1.1 port), I no longer get the BSOD. However, when I connect the iPod to one of the USB 2.0 ports in the card, I'll get:
a "Do not disconnect" message on the iPod, and a "Removable Disk (F:)" icon shows up in a My Computer window, but iTunes can't make a connection to the iPod. Sometimes the Do Not disconnect message goes away, and the iPod returns to it's normal menu, and sometimes it just keeps the message there (even when I disconnect the USB cable - which then forces me to reset the iPod).

At least notebook users will not suffer anymore due to the wrong card selection...

  • How do i reestablish a media connection through a usb

    I had a media connection through the usb, but when i turned it off to only charge through the usb, i wasnt able to find where to turn it back on.

        I'm very sorry that you haven't seen the option to transfer media through your device, rrmcw1968. I use that function with my Droid Turbo to back up my pictures and videos. I'd like to help you, but I need to know which model device you have and the operating system of the computer you're using (Windows version, iOS version, Linux, etc). Thanks!

  • IPhone 4 not recognized when connected to new USB 2.0 card

    I have an iphone 4 OS4.1 on a no-name Windows XP Pro (service pack 3) PC with an AMD processor and lots of RAM.
    I had the phone working and syncing beautifully with the onboard USB 1.1 but it was slow. So I bought a new PCI USB 2.0 card and installed it. Card is installed and there are no problems according to the status in System Devices.
    But the computer does not recognize the iphone when plugged into one of those ports. If I plug it into one of the USB 1.1 ports that are still in the machine, it syncs and works fine. If I plug it into one of the new USB 2.0 ports, the PC shows the window at bottom right saying the device is not recognized. Tried the wizard but it's useless.
    THOUGHTS?????

    Nevermind!!!
    It turned out to be a faulty cable! I tried it with a different sync cable and it works fine!
    So disregard the question above.

  • Powerbook Titanium/G4 need compatible USB PCMCIA USB 2.0 card

    I have a G4/Titanium Powerbook and acquired a new iPod Nano (4th G). It requires a USB 2.0 port to synch/recharge, but my Laptop only has USB 1.1. I thought that a PCMCIA card would remedy the situation, but when I purchased one from SIIG, I was told by their Tech SUpport that the card did not support iPods. Synching on the USB 1.1 is murderously slow and I want to keep my war horse functional as long as I can. Does anyone know of a PCMCIA Card USB 2.0 adaptor that will work with iPod Nano 4th G? Thanks.

    Hello Jim,
    You've landed in the PowerMac G4 forums for late-model desktop machines like pictured under my name at the left. The G4 PowerBooks have separate forum areas, broken down by model. This link takes you to the forum for the Ti PowerBooks:

    You may also consider asking on the appropriate iPod forum, as someone there may have worked it out for your model.

  • GPIB instruments connected through Agilent USB/GPIB Interface can bee seen in MAX but can't communicate in labview

    I have an Agilent 82357B USB/GPIB Interface connected to my computer. 
    Attached to that, I have two lock-in amplifiers (an SR830, and an SR
    850).  I would like to be able to communicate with them through GPIB.
    I have downloaded and installed the software for the Agilent device
    (Agilent IO Control), and I can see the interface and the two devices
    in that software.  Here's what is configured in this software, that I
    can see:
    The VISA interface ID is GPIB0, and its address is 0
    The VISA addresses of the devices are GPIB0::4::INSTR and GPIB::12::INSTR, and the GPIB addresses are 4 and 12
    In Measerment and Automation Explorer (MAX), I made sure that the
    Passport for Tulip box was checked.  Once it was, I could see the
    devices in the Configuration window under Devices and Interfaces ->
    Miscellaneous VISA Resources.  There, I see GPIB0::INTFC, GPIB0::4::INSTR and GPIB::12::INSTR.
    I can right click on either of the instruments, and "Open VISA Test
    Panel" where I am successfully able to send commands and read from both
    devices.
    HOWEVER, when I am running an actual LabView program, I am unable to communicate with the devices. 
    For example, when I try to communicate to the devices through VISA,
    using the 'Basic Serial Write and Read.vi' (while VISA Resource Name is
    GPIB0::12::INSTR), I get an error:
    Error -1073807331 occurred at Property Node (arg 2) in VISA Configure Serial Port (Instr).vi->Basic Serial Write and Read.vi
    Possible reason(s):
    VISA:  (Hex 0xBFFF001D) The specified attribute is not defined or supported by the referenced resource.
    When trying to communicate with them through GPIB (which is what I want
    to do in the end), using 'GPIB.vi' I also get an error.  Here, GPIB
    address is 12, and I am just trying to give it the command *IDN?
    GPIB Write returned error code:
    EDVR: Error connecting to driver or device
    What's going on?

    You can use VISA Write and VISA Read. You just can't use the example called Basic Serial Write and Read because that is specifically for the RS-232 port. The GPIB-VISA is one of the shipping examples. Start the example finder and go to the search tab. Search for VISA.
    Again, no you cannot use the GPIB functions with a non-NI controller. The low level functions for an NI board and an Agilent one are completely different. You can rewrite the driver to use VISA or you can rewrite it to use the low level functions that Agilent provides. You use the Call Library Function Node, I believe to access their GPIB driver.
    I hate to say it but the $20 difference between the Agilent and the NI controller does not seem like much of a saving.

  • Mic Connected through USB adapter gives High pitch voice in playback

    My mic is connected through a usb adapter but when i play my track back in Garage ban after recording I get this high pitch fast chipmunk voice.
    And My mic works fine with quicktime audio recording or other audio recording software.

    most likely the sample rate of your audio interface is too low, it must be set to 44100 in Audio MIDI Setup utility.
    similar to the issue of an imported file playing too fast/high pitched:

  • How can i connect mobile internet (USB devices)??

    Is there anyone who knows how can I can connect a mobile internet device connected through a USB port to my IPad-2?

    The iPad only supports wifi and 3G, it can't connect via a USB connection - it can use an iPhone as a mobile hotspot (if your carrier supports it) or mifi devices.

  • Panic when using USB 2 multi card reader

    On 2 different intel iMacs, I've got the following error using a USB2 Multi Card Reader (Shows up as a Mass Storage Device under Sys Pref):
    IOUSBMassStorageClass has corrupted the registry
    Registry - am I running windoz or something??!?!?!
    I've used this multi card reader on my G4 for a long time and never had any problems with it. On these 2 different intel iMac's it often stops importing my photos, and sometimes won't mount my memory stick cards. One one occasion I got the black/gray screen telling me to restart my computer, and that's when I got the message above. Yes, I've tried other memory cards, and a different USB cable... and at times I still loose communication with the card reader.
    Any suggestions would be great.
    Thanks!

    Hi, is your card reader Mac Intel compatible? which manufacturer?
    I would Repair Permissions then Turn Off. Disconnect everything except KB/M
    restart - I would run OnyX..then Turn Off, connect all your usb & firewire - including card reader if mac compatible! Restart..L

  • Connection through PC

    Hi,
    This is my first post in this board. Lets hope to get a quick answer. I connect my N97 to PC through USB cable with Nokia PC Suite and OVI. Both with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. When I am connected to the PC and wish, for instance, update the Weather widget I am only able to do it through Wireless connection  or 3G. It is not possible to connect through the USB connection? If yes, how do I configure the N97 to do it?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    that is correct. you can only update your widgets via gprs/3g or wifi on your phone, it cant really be done via computer. a mobile phone is meant to be carried not connected to the computer so you can have updated data. it does not make sense. it is designed to be on the move hence different wireless connection options. 
    You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

  • Shuffle isn't recognized through USB 2.0 card

    My 1st Gen Shuffle is perfectly functional when I plug it into one of the USB 1.1 ports on my PB, but unfortunately, when I connect the Shuffle to one of the ports of a USB 2.0 card inserted in my PB, the Shuffle does not appear in iTunes or anywhere else on my system. The status light above the click wheel just blinks.
    The card is an Adaptec USB2connect For Notebooks, and I have no problems connecting and using my 4th Gen iPod through its ports. The Shuffle works through the USB 1.1 port, but for speedier transfer times, I'd prefer to use it through one of the USB 2.0 ports on the card.
    Does the 1st Gen Shuffle recognize third-party USB 2.0 cards? If so, is this particular card the problem? Any and all ideas about this would be most welcome. Thanks.

    Is it possible to use my ipad 4 as a second monitor through a USB connection.

    perhaps, but my information was current. I had the same question and was looking for and answer and found it. So I responded in order to help others who found this question and were looking for an answer. This community is made more helpful and kept current by adding new answers with current information.
    imobl... air display was a valid response for 2011 predating the question. Also using Monitor2go was valid in 2012. There were USB mirroring and as a 2nd display for an iPad options at the time the original question was asked.

    You will need to install an App like Print Central on the iPad to try to print to the printer. It will allow you to print to most printers. Check with their support folks if you need more info.

  • When i try to connect my iPhone 4S into iTunes through wifi or USB it will not connect the other thing  is when i hook up my iPad into iTunes it will connect through wifi but not USB? Now is this a issue with my iPad and iPhone or is this iTunes?

    When i bought my iPhone and my iPad they both were on iOS 7.0.2 i updated them shortly after thinking the new iOS 7.0.4 was better. i see its not but they both worked great with iTunes before and after the update. My question is why is my iPhone not connecting to iTunes? it will not connect through USB or wifi and i know that the setting to do that is turned on. my iPad connects through iTunes through wifi but not USB. This isnt making any sense but i wanna know is this a iTunes issue? or is it my phone and iPad??

    This can sometimes be the result of a faulty/damaaged USB sync cable.  Do you have another cable you could test it out with?

  • My Time Capsule expired and no longer works. My printer (a HP) will now not work as it still wishes to connect through the Time Capsule. It will not allow itself be recognised through a USB connection to my Mac. Anyone got any ideas?

    My Time Capsule expired and no longer works. My printer (a HP) will now not work as it still wishes to connect through the Time Capsule. It will not allow itself be recognised through a USB connection to my Mac. Anyone got any ideas?

    You will need to install the printer on your Mac
    Open System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
    Open Print & Fax
    Click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list
    Wait for your printer to appear in the next box, then click it to highlight it
    Click Add at the lower right
    Be sure to select the correct printer when you try to print as you will see your printer listed twice. Good idea to make the printer now installed on your Mac the default printer so you do not have to choose which printer to use each time you want to print.
    You can also go into Print & Fax, select the printer associated with the Time Capsule and click the - (minus) button if you want to delete that location.
