Removing or connecting IPhone via USB during sleep causes wake up problems

FWIW, I had wake from sleep problems that I traced to attaching or removing my iPhone while my MBP was asleep. After I reset my SMC and now that I wake it up before adding or removing my iPhone I have no more problems.
This is a reproducible effect.

I'm not running into the EXACT same problem, but I have a late 2012 mac mini and the keyboard and mouse freeze intermittently. From my readings it sounds like a conflict with a third party software. Sorry I don't have a solution just yet but I'm stuck in the same problem you are.

Computer reboots immediately if I connect my iPhone via usb or craddle

When I connect my iPhone to my computer, windows xp sp2 pro immediately starts detecting the iphone, at which point my computer reboots - everytime! I read online that the phone has issues with Intels RAID matrix software, and I should upgrade to 7.8 - did that. I also read that I should upgrade all my usb drivers - did that. I still have a condition where it reboots (ugly) immediately when I hookup my iphone via usb or craddle.

mimckee,
Do you have a webcam built into your monitor? If so, is it a Logitech or based on Logitech hardware? This article discusses an issue that can occur with older drivers from Logitech or for other imaging devices that try to treat the iPhone as though it is one of their webcams:

I have 1TB WD external drive connected via the TC's USB, I can see the WD drive in the finder and the TC set-up...but I don't know where to go from here...
Thanks for your help

Welcome to the discussions, Steveru!
I think what you are asking is can you simply continue Time Machine backups by adding the new USB drive, correct? The answer is not exactly. See below for details.
To use the new USB drive for Time Machine backups, you'll need to Open System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock and open Time Machine. Click on Select Disk and click your USB drive to highlight it, then click Use for Backup. Here's the rub....Time Machine will make a new full complete backup of everything on your Mac's hard drive. There's no way to avoid this. After that, it will continue to make scheduled incremental backups just like it did before on the Time Capsule.
If you ever need to go back to your original backups on the Time Capsule, you'll need to right-click the Time Capsule icon on the dock and choose Browse Other Time Machine Disks.
When the USB drive start to fill, you may decide that you no longer need all the old backups on the Time Capsule disk since you should have a good history of backups on the USB drive at that point.
So, you could erase the Time Capsule disk and then start backing up to the Time Capsule disk again. At that time, it will also make a complete backup on the first pass and then normal incremental backups from that point forward. When the TC begins to fill again, then you could erase the older backups on the USB drive and start backups again on that drive. Then switch to the other drive in the future to keep things going indefinitely. If you go with this type of flip flop plan, you should always have a solid history of many months of backups at any given time.
Will a plan like this work? I don't answer a question on the forum unless I've done it myself. This has been working well for me for almost 3 years.
Pondini, the resident expert on Time Machine and Time Capsule affairs, may have some comments on this as well. If you haven't already seen his excellent guide, Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule or +Time Machine FAQ+, these are the best available sources of information on this subject on the Internet.
Or, if you don't want to erase any your backups, you could of course keep adding a new USB drive when the current drive is about to fill.

IPhone 5 not connecting hotspot via USB to Macbook after upgrade to IOS 7.

My Macbook can only get internet hotspot net through wifi or bluetooth but unable to connect via USB and this happen after upgrade to IOS 7.0.2

You do not want to try to sync photos back from a computer that you do not sync with. That will erase everything from the phone. The pictures you downloaded to the computer do not go back to the camera roll. They are part of the iTunes sync process now. Take and put them on a CD or flash drive, put them on the computer at home and then sync them back via the photo tab in iTunes.

ITunes has stopped launching when I plug in my iPhone via USB

Two things have stopped working with my iPhone recently.
1. iTunes no longer launches automatically when I plug in my iPhone to my iMac via USB.
2. The iPhone Notes app has stopped syncing via USB lead between the iPhone and the iMac.
I have tried closing applications, and rebooting both the iPhone and iMac, but this makes no difference.
I'm running OS X 10.6.8 on my iMac.
My iPhone is a 3G running iOS 4.2.1
Can anyone help?
This sounds like a bug introduced by a recent software update. Is anyone at Apple listening?

For point 1 have a look on your Mac:
Settings | System | Users & Groups | Your Account | Login Items
and see if iTunesHelper is there and ticked. If it has a yellow warning symbol next to it it has lost were to find this app which brings up iTunes when you connect devices.
It could have been messed up by an upgrade of iTunes. To set it up again you can add it to the 'Login Items' again. The iTunesHelper application is buried inside the iTunes application special folder:
Applications > iTunes > Contents > MacOS > iTunesHelper
you can navigate to it by looking at the package contents for iTunes (right click it). You can't add it by choosing the '+' button because you have to look inside iTunes.
Open Users & Groups, your account, Login Items then next to it
Open a Finder window navigate to iTunesHelper like above and then drag icon for it into the Login Items window.

Connecting 5800 via USB

Can someone direct me to the solution of how to connect my Nokia 5800 phone to my PC via USB? Now i can accept the fact that i may have missed vital instructions somewhere along the way, but when i have installed 2 x versions of the Nokia Suite 6 & 7 and attempted to connect ONLY to find that amongst the methods given, USB is not amongst the options, makes it beggars belief that with most devices connected to PC are USB. So why is it that to connect to the PC via this software the only viable option is hard wire in this case Cable Connection. So i wait and wait after intializing connection, only to be prompted that the cable connection could not establish connectivity to your phone. Correct me if i'm wrong but i can't connect via infrared or bluetooth only via USB. Has anyone come accross the same issue. According to some posts the software will encompass this? NOT

what version of pc suite do u crrently have installed on ur pc
also what OS are u using?
have u connected ur phone in pc suite mode?
if its just version 7, try going to ur control panel > add remove programs > select pc connectivity solution > repair (this is a rough guide since i dont know what ur os is)
if u have both 6 and 7 installed i would recommend unisntalling everything and downloading the most current version of pc suite from http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/download-software/nokia-pc-suite/download
bluetooth is also an option when connecting ur phone to the pc via pc suite but ur pc will need to be bluetooth enabled as well either inbuilt or external bluetooth dongle
if my post helped u out, please click the Star next to it to add some KUDOS to my name

IPad connection issues via USB to xbox360

Hello, I have an iPad 1st gen and am connecting it to my xbox360 via USB, But it won't connect. Where the little battery icon is ,in the top right corner, it just says "Not charging" For some weird reason I can't get my xbox360 to see my iPad. Yes I have tryed all the USB ports. Any ideas?

That's not really a valid analogy. After all, many devices will recognize an iPad/iPod/iPhone and play music from it, and the xbox 360 will recognize and play music/media from a Zune, so it's not a crazy thought to try and hook in an iPad. Unfortunately, I think MS wan't the 360 to only work well with the Zune (just like Apple only wants iTunes to work well with their products).

Share internet from macbook to iPhone via USB

Is it possible to share the wifi internet connection OF the macbook (OS X 10.8.2) TO iPhone 5 (iOS 6.0.1) via USB cable? If yes how?
I tried to enable as shown below and connected the iPhone to the macbook but nothing happened.

No.

I have lots of .MOV files on my iPhone5 that I need to transfer to my PC. Using QuickTime Player 7.7.4 I am unable to view them once they have been copied to a hard drive or directly from the iPhone via USB. 1% of the time a vid is viewable

I can tranfer them to a hard drive on my PC, but am unable to view most of them using QuickTime Player 7.7.4. Doesn't matter if I'm viewing them via a USB connection to my iPhone5 or from a hard drive after the file has been copied via USB. 1% of the vids are viewable, 20% open with a black screen and audio only. The rest open with a blue, purple and green stryrated mess and no audio. Yes its a Quick Time problem I know but where do I post this question in the community? Also searching my drives for other .MOV files downloaded from the net I find the same problem with them.

Heres what I don't like about VLC, but at least the files are viewable...somewhat.
1. You can't flip the image 90degrees, needs to have a rotate feature for sure. This needs to have keyboard shortcut so vids can be rotated easily as one may have shot video horizontally and vertically in the same take.
2. Opens file to a very large window, most of it off the screen, it should REMEMBER what you resized it to, so the next time a video is played you don't have to drag the window back on the screen so you can get to the resizing handle in the lower corner.
3. Doesn't buffer while playing, so the movies are extremely erractic, starting and stopping every 3 seconds, highly annoying.
OK so maybe my PC is too slow, its a dual processor 486 Hyperrthread 2.8G but I only have 2Gigs of memory, however, bettery than 50% of the memory is still available while playing a vid (memory is checked every 4 seconds with a program), but I have 90-100% CPU useage going on while playing.
Maybe I should think about a new computer.

Daisy chain two external drives via Firewire, then connect one via USB to the TC?

Hi,
I have two external drives that have both Firewire and USB ports. My 1st generation 500 gb Time Capsule (maybe all of them?) only has USB ports so up til now, I have connected one or the other drive via USB. (I've tried to connect both to a powered USB hub but one drive has problems showing up. At this point I only use the one drive that shows up and connect it directly with no hub to the Time Capsue.)
My question is: Can I daisy chain the two drives via Firewire and then connect one of them (probably the one that has no problems connecting with USB) to the Time Capsule via USB?
Second, somewhat-related problem...
I don't know why one drive isn't connecting very well when directly connected to the Time Capsule. Both are Fantom drives. One is a 1TB, the one that has prblems connecting is a 250GB. I've tried connecting directly or through a powered hub. The 1B has no problems, the 250 gb won't show up most of the time and disconnects itself fairly quickly if it does connect. I've switched cables; that hasn't helped. The 1TB stays connected most of the time but sometimes it disconnects too. I suspect the Time Capsule just isn't able to deal with external drives so I don't puch it. It would be nice to be able to have both drives accessable through the TC though.
Thanks for any help.
Cheers,
John

Doing some experimentation, connecting the drives directly to the MBP:
- Neither of the two drives Firewire daisy-chained and going through the powered USB hub connected to the MBP mount. I was using old aliases on desktop.*They don't show up on network otherwise. (Each drive self-mounts with both Firewire and USB direct connections.)
*Even after making new aliases, neither drive will mount using their new aliases when directly connected (not through hub) with USB or Firewire (and Thunderbolt adapter.) That's weird.
- Both the 240 gb and the 1TB drives going through powered hub connected to MBP mount by themselves.
- Two drives daisy-chained via Firewire and one drive connected to the MBP via Firewire (and Thunderbolt adapter) self-mount. No surprise there but that doesn't help me as I want to have the drives further away from the MBP and connected to the Time Capsule, which doesn't have a Firewire port anyway...
- All of the USB and the Firewire cables work as does the Thunderbolt adapter. I tested them.
I wonder.... I have a Firewire to what appears to be an Ethernet connector. I wonder if that would be any good. I'm afraid to try it though...
