Reformated in 9.2 and can't use my usb ports

I reformated and reinstalled 9.2 onto my G3 and now NONE of my USB ports work. Not my mouse, not my camera, nothing. Is there a way to reinstall/reconnect them?

Pete,
I would have expected the mouse to work, well one button at least. But your camera, printer, scanner, etc will all need their drivers re-installed.
Was it OS9.2 previous to your reformatting ? What model G3 is it ? Does it have built-in USB ports, or are they provided by an installed card ?

  • Can I use my usb port by itself as an DO/DI?

    I know usb ports supply a good deal of voltage to a lot of different devices.. but could I somehow use that power as a controlable DigOutput? or as well use it as a DigInput? Also I was curious about the voltage i/o of a ethernet card.... they use 8 lines.. and as well for what im setting up will be useing 8 line.. 4 in and 4 out, 0-5V. Anyone try to do anyhting like this before? or know the specs on ethernet cards/usb ports to even know if its possible? thanks a lot!

    Having done serial and parallel port control a few times, here are some of the things that I've found:
    Most serial and parallel ports send output as pulses. So if you want to "turn a line on" you have to build some hardware to latch that state (I built a simple circuit with line 0 of my parallel port as the clock input on a latch, so everytime line 0 pulsed, the values on the other lines were latched). Some parallel ports can hold line states, but not all parellel port hardware supports this. Reading input is easier.
    Serial and ethernet are pulse oriented even more than parallel ports are. Since bytes are sent 1 bit at a time, more external hardware is needed to latch or read multiple lines. 100baseT ethernet uses 2 wires for input and the input is differe
    ntial, most chip sets (all that I know of, but I can't speak for ALL of them) require these lines to mirror each other and can not read each of these wires seperately. The read on them is basically edge triggered based on divergent changes (pulses). Output is differential as well.
    I can't speak about USB since I haven't worked with it much. But then it is a Serial Port isn't it? Should send data out in a pulse train.
    Parallel port is easiest for "hardwareless" DIO. Hope this answers some of your questions.

  • Can't use front USB port for external Hard Drive

    I have had some problems for about the past year with the front USB port on my 2009 13in Macbook Pro 5.5.
    As you know, there are 2 USB ports on the left side on a 13inch Macbook pro.  The one closest to me (the front one) works fine when I use it with a flash drive.  But when I connect my external 7200RPM external drive to it, after about a minute, it ejects then re-recognizes the disk. 
    I video edit with FCP and use the external as one of my scratch disks. 
    At first I thought maybe it was the cord or the drive that was messed up.  But then I connected my other external drive to this port and the same thing happened.
    But when I connected it to the back USB port, everything works fine. I haven't had any trouble.  So i make sure it's connected to that port when using the external.
    Why would this be happening.  It only screws up when using a standard external drive but not flash drives or any other peripherals.
    Thanks

    Exactly what Ogelthorpe mentioned.
    I bought a Seagate 500GB 7200RPM and bought an external case from Staples that has a big fancy led to show HD activity.  Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
    Tested it on my PC and it works all the time so it got me stumped.  Thought it was my MB.
    Decided to try another external drive drive on my MB and everything works.  So I returned the fancy external enclosure and bought the simple $10 one.
    Now everything works fine.
    Maybe changing your external case might help you.

  • Can i use ALL usb ports and firewire port at same time??

    can you plug in two usb devices and a firewire device, all at the same time??
    into macbook or macbook pro....
    macbook manual says, one high powered usb device can be plugged in.
    but i dont know if they mean into each port, or at one time in total.
    i just spoke to apple, and they told me to call support. i havent even bought the laptop yet.
    i want to plug in a fast track pro audio interface = usb
    a mouse = mouse, akai mpd16 drum pad = usb, and a 7200rpm firewire external hard drive..........so all my ports i wanna be using at the same time.
    is this possible? or will macbook and the macbook pro differ in performance regarding this issue?
    say if i buy a usb hub and plug in 5 usb devices...........possible?
    or is their limitations??
    thanks in advance.

    MacBook - since I was replying to a MacBook question it wouldn't have exactly made sense to refer to my iMac experience, right?
    BTW - there are two caveats. First, USB and FW ports can supply power to the devices that are plugged in but there is a limit to how much power they can supply which is why you should always use a powered hub if you are using a hub. If you are using your computer on battery, don't attempt to use an unpowered hub to plug in more devices. Second, if you are on battery, obviously the more unpowered USB/FW devices you have plugged in getting their power from the computer, the faster your battery will be drained.
    An unpowered hub shouldn't pull in more than 500 mA. If it's four 100 mA devices plugged into the same hub, it wouldn't use more than a single 500 mA device like maybe a self-powered hard drive. Plugging in stuff like a USB mouse and a flash drive shouldn't consume too much power.
    If you're already on battery power then I don't know if it would make much sense to say that one needs a powered hub; where's the power source? I know there are a few (rare) battery-powered USB hubs out there, but I don't know that many people who have them.

  • I can't use my USB ports or connect to the Internet after downgradin​g from Windows 8 to 7

    I downgraded my HP Pavilion p7-1534 desktop computer from Windows 8 to Windows 7 today with a Windows 7 Home Premium disk I purchased. I checked online first to see everything I'd need to do, including backing up all my personal files and information to an external hard drive and downloading all my drivers to a USB drive.  I followed online instructions and went into the  UEFI bios settings and disabled Fast Boot and Secure Boot and enabled Legacy mode.  Windows 7 finally loaded and it comes up.   However, my PC now no longer recognizes that I have several USB drives so I can't load my drivers. Also, I can't connect to my MediaCom cable Internet.  Does anyone know what I did wrong and what I can do to fix my PC?

  • I am currently using the firewire port on my macbook pro to record dv from my camera. Can I capture video/audio using my USB port as well?ra

    I've been connecting a sony PD170 via firewire to my Macbook pro to record directly using Quicktime pro. Can I use the usb port (and mini audio in) to accomplish this with a camcorder that doesn't have a fire wire port but does have USB out?

    It could just be a bad disc - I use Verbatim and have only had one fail in a ten-year time period. Try getting a batch of Verbatims and see if you have any problems. I didn't even know that there were Kodak branded discs...

  • The voice that was on when I first set up my ipad came back on and now I have to double click to get into my apps and can't use my apps because her voice is always talking.  How do I make her voice go away and my IPAD work like it should.

    The voice that was on when I first set up my ipad came back on and now I have to double click to get into my apps and can't use my apps because her voice is talking.  How do I make the voice stop and my IPAD work again. 

    If you've turned VoiceOver on then see if triple-clicking the home button turns it off, and then change what Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home is set to.
    Otherwise, via 'the touch to select double-tap to activate' process you need to go into Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and turn it off
    The manual (http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad) also says that you should be able to switch voice-over off by connecting to your computer's iTunes :
    Turn VoiceOver on or off in iTunes: Select iPad in the iTunes sidebar. In the Options section of the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access. Select VoiceOver, then click OK.
    So select Configure Universal Access at the bottom of the Summary tab and set Seeing to Neither

    I have always paid for apps with a credit card and now need to use an app store card but I can't get past the point where it keeps wanting my credit card updated.  And can't used the app card number.  Any advice???

    I do NOT like using my credit card if I don't have to, and I went out of my way to go buy an Apple gift card, which I successfully redeemed into my Apple account. However, when I use the Apple "Cards" app, it will not let me use anything other than my credit card. I tried purchasing a card, hopefulling it would come out of my Apple store balance, but no such luck -- it came out of my credit card.

  • If I buy an iphone from the hong kong site to use in new zealand, will it come unlocked and can i use it in new zealand on a nz service provider?

    If I buy an iphone from the hong kong site to use in new zealand, will it come unlocked and can i use it in new zealand on a nz service provider?

    If you purchase an unlocked iPhone it will work on any supported gsm network.
    Just FYI, apple will not ship outside the country in which the device is purchased. A device purchased in the Hong Kong website must have a shipping and billing address in Hong Kong.
    Also, warranty and support are only valid in the country of origin.

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported, and likely has caused the problems you are experiencing.
    You'll need to go elsewhere for support.
