Sync with USB pendrive in KDE

Hello,
When i insert an USD memory, KDE correctly detects it and open a konqueror window with the USB content. Perfect. Then, i copy various MB to it. Perfect. Close the window, right-click over the icon and select "Safety extract" (i've translated it, as i've KDE in spanish), and a moreless 0,3 sec. later, the icon disappears.
It seems that all the process was OK but it isn't. When extracting the USB, inserting again all the MB of data that were copied aren't in the USB.
What really happened was that the sync operation is not made when i copy the files, umouting instead. But, as the icon in the desktop dissapears, it appears that i can safely remove the USB. The copy process is done after that icon have dissapeared, as the lights of the USB keep "flashing". If i remove the USB when that lights stops, and insert again, the files have been copied.
Well, the question is how can i make to avoid that the device icon dissapears unless the copy process finished ok... or isn't this the normal behaviour?
I think that this can be controlled moreless with fstab, but i haven't no entry in fstab related to extraible devices, as with pmount is no necessary, so, any solution?
Searching the forum found similar questions but not exactly this.

A provisional trick that "solves" it.
In KDE, i've set up the option that in the desktop only must appear mounted devices. I changed it, so an ummounted USB is shown in the desktop too.
With this "trick", when i "safely extract", happens this:
- Select safely extract
- In 0,3 seconds the "green" avatar (is mounted) dissapears.
- The USB device keeps on in the desktop, but as if it was umounted
- No progress bar
- When all the copy process has finished, the icon disappears

What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?

What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?
I writed to Panasonic Italy support about this question:
"What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?"
Panasonic writed me in a very poor manner and said me:
"...riproduce formati: AVCHD (anche 3D), SD-Video, DivXHD, JPEG, MP3, AAC tramite USB e Slot SD/SDHC/SDXC card..."
"...formato : AVCHD estensione file nella SD: .MTS..."
I made a few videos edited with PremiereProCS5 and exported as H.264 Coding and .mp4 file extension, all side by side, with layout 1920x1080pixels that includes two stretched frames at 960x1080 pixels.
This is the same image layout that uses the Panasonic 3D consumer camcorder "HDC-SDT750", that record AVCHD videos with file extension .MTS.
I also tried to export another video as MPEG2 with .mpg file extension.
But at the store the tests failed, and I cannot see anything!
My questions are:
1) What format can be used by PremiereProCS5 for exporting the Stereoscopic 3D videoclip and play them via USB port on Panasonic TVPlasma3D such "TX-P46VT20"?
2) What codec should be used? H.264? H.264-bluray?
3) What file extension should have the movie file? .mp4?
Many Thanks!

-I already read entirely those threads, but nothing about stereoscopic 3D AVCHD movies through USB port, on Panasonic TVPlasma3D.
(Also, Sony said me that is not possible to play 3D videos on your 3DTV through USB port).
I tried to made a H.264 videoclip, with .MP4 extension, at 960x1080p side-by-side layout, but nothing was displayed, and black screen.
I think that just the AVCHD movies, with .MTS extension, that comes from Panasonic consumer camcorder "HDC-SDT750", can play the 3D videos via HDMI cable, not USB port.
But not the exported videos from PremierePro via USB port.
I seen this tutorial from David K Helmly:
http://www.youtube.com/user/dhelmly#p/a/u/1/_YtF0c2bmkw
Dave export the video from PremiereProCS5 as "MPEG2-bluray" format with "Match Source Attributes (HighQuality)" Preset, and build the Bluray Disc in EncoreCS5, with the footage as MPEG2 with .m2v file extension:
1) Anyone tried to play correctly in 3D, those MPEG2-.m2v side-by-side files, in Panasonic3DTV, with BlurayDiscReader?
2) Why MPEG2.m2v side-by-side?
3) The official standard stereoscopic 3D format, is not the .MVC (MultiViewCoding) for Bluray3D Disc?
I am confused!
Help!

My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). How do I fix it?

My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). I have tried unplugging the devices, restarting the computer, selectively unplugging and plugging in the devices, closing and opening the relevant applications (iTunes, iPhoto, etc). I have tried using different USB cables.
It's like all of a sudden the synching service stopped functioning or recognizing these devices for some reason. The other ports work just fine (monitor).
The only USB-connected external device that appears to be unaffected is the USB SuperDrive and it works on all the USB ports into which I plug it.
How do I fix this?

Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens or doesn't happen.

Syncing with USB 1.1

I was having issues getting my wife's iPhone to sync with an iMac G4 800MHz. After reading several of the posts, I tried using a USB 2.0 hub instead of connecting directly to the iMac. That resolved the data corruption I was getting when importing photo's into iPhoto, but it did not resolve the syncing issue with iTunes. What I finally did was uncheck the automatic sync feature in iTunes. Once I did this, everything seemed to work much better. Really slow to sync music, but that doesn't change very often.
Yeah, BTW, everything worked much better before the last couple of updates.

Also, try unplugging as many USB devices (i.e. printer, keyboard, mouse, etc.) as you can, so that iPhone is the only thing using USB. Works much better for me.

Syncing with USB 1.1 on an older PowerBook

Looking for anyone with SPECIFIC experience using their iPhone on a PowerBook G4 800MHz with USB 1.1 ports. Have you had any problems syncing? Appreciate your help.

I have an iMac G4 and I was finally able to get it synced. I had to do little bits of information at a time. Actually it took me a few hours to sync 200 songs, playlists and 300 photos. DIdn't even try videos! But it worked. Patience and lots of re-tries. It froze a lot.
Now I have to do it all over again because I have a bad battery issue and need to get the iPhone replaced. Urgh!
Good luck.

My speed syncing with USB 1.1

I have a PowerBook that does not have USB 2.0, so I held back getting an iPod nano until I heard from others in my shoes. I didn't want to have it take hour after hour to update. Well, I heard from others that it wasn't that bad, and now I can attest to that. I loaded 3.2 GB of songs, about 575 of them, in just over 1 hour total. I then put about 300 photos (not the full pics too, just the thumbnails) in a few minutes.
I would estimate that each typical 4-minute song took about 5 seconds to load. So my weekly sync won't be more than a few minutes to load up my Podcasts and any new songs.
In other words, if you have USB 1.1 and you are worried about using the nano, it's not that bad. Sure 2.0 will be nicer by far, and I wish FireWire was possible in such a tiny device, but I'm pleased that USB 1.1 wasn't as bad as I feared.

My home system is running Windows XP, and the USB port I happened to plug my Nano into is v1.1. Although I get a message every time I plug in my Nano ("Hey, bud - this will work FASTER with a USB 2.0..."), I have had absolutely no problems downloading/syncing using iTunes (both downloaded music and copying my own CDs).

Sync with USB 1

A while ago I mistakenly plugged the iphone to a USB 1 port and was given an error message. No problem. I mistakenly plugged it into the work port and proceeded to plug it into a USB 2.0 and no worries.
Today, I accidentally plugged the iphone into a USB 1 again, and it worked! Albeit slowly than normal. Anyone else notice this change?

Since new, my iPhone has been used with a USB1.1 port and it's worked perfectly well - the 1.0.1 update improved the reliability with which iTunes opened (it didn't always before) and I still get the warning when connecting that the device is not compatible and do I want to switch to airplane mode, but clicking 'no' to that leaves the iPhone working perfectly well and able to sync. Slowly, but that's to be expected of course.

Sync with USB or UTP/wired-LAN?

Hi,
I'm seriously considering to buy an AppleTV. Now, the only question is concerning how the movies being sync into the Apple TV.
I'm running a PC with WinXP and do not have wireless devices. I see that AppleTV has a USB port and also an Etnernet port for wired LAN. Can I connect the Apple TV to my PC via either the USB or the Ethernet port and then sync (or copy) the movies to Apple TV?
If not, then I may need also to buy a wireless adapter for my PC. It will be on additional cost.

Can I connect the
Apple TV to my PC via either the USB or the Ethernet
port and then sync (or copy) the movies to Apple TV?
Yes using Ethernet; no using USB.

RESOLVED:Trouble unmounting USB pendrive from KDE desktop

I've been using Arch for about 6 months, and I never used a pendrive until now. Plugging it in gives a "new media detected what do you want to do?" prompt, which is nice. Then I get a nice icon on the desktop, which is great.
When I right click on the pendrive icon and go to "safely remove" I get a KDE glass-breaking crash which states "the device was successfully unmounted but could not be ejected."
I am using udev, hal, and fam. My fstab is very very simple, no entries for cdrom or floppy, only / and swap.

Hmmm. Did you check out the file /etc/group to be sure that your user name had been added to the "disk" group? Did you log out and then log back in to make your user's membership in the group active?
You are right, reading and writing are fine, but that shattering glass sound and the extra dialog you have to click away are really annoying. It's odd that you same it works some times. When you do get an error, what exactly does it say?
To get more information you might try doing
eject <device>
from a console prompt instead of using "Safely Remove". This is basically what the kdeeject script does. For <device> use the real device node, i.e. if you have a symlink to a real /dev device, use the target, not the symlink. If it fails it will usually dump a little more diagnostic info to the console. For <device> you may also use the dynamic mount-points that are created in the /media directory when the drive is mounted automatically. You may even be able to run kdeeject directly from the console to get the same information, but I'm not sure.

Sync with USB 1.1 slow - any firewire to usb 2.0 adapters out there?

I know its been covered how slow the new nano is with USB1.1 but wow. Glacial. The G4 we use as a iTunes station has firewire. Is there a Firewire to USB 2.0 adapter?

I do have a G5 which is my work station. The G4 is my wife's computer and her iPod/iTunes station.

How do I remove one of the calendars from iCloud but keep it on the iPhone to sync with Outlook by USB and keep the other calendars synced on iCloud ?

iPhone 5, Macs and iPads at home, Windoze7 system at work.
Using iCloud to sync calendars, contacts, etc on all the home devices. Used USB cable to sync at work with the Windows system, with the Outlook 2010 corporate account (corporate server). I need only the Outlook calendar to be synced, syncing the contacts created too many problems with duplication, etc. No need for that. Worked fine until the latest upgrate to iOS7 and iTunes 11.1. Used to have a calendar that was not on iCloud and was simply and exclusively syncing between the iPhone and the Windows computer at work. The other 3 calendars synced fine with the macs and iOS devices via iCloud but not with the machine at work - keeping private records private.
Upon the iOS upgrade, all calendars are now on iCloud. I am no longer able to remove one - for security too - from the iCloud and sync it with the Windows computer exclusively. I managed to sync it once on the PC with iTunes by switching iCloud off on the iPhone before connection by USB cable. Trying it again, it tells me that it will erase all items on the Outlook account (the "more than 25% of your records are going to change" alert) and won't add or modify any. I stopped the sync in time...
Tried on the iCloud site for a solution to remove the calendar, nothing.
There is no iCloud setup on this corporate computer - no access permitted. The USB cable connection is the only solution and up to the upgrade of the iOS this went seamlessly.
Any solution out there?
Thanks
Vladski

I share a similar situation (usb iTunes sync with Outlook with my corporate laptop; personal calendar on icloud).
With IOS7, at first, iTunes/Windows does not propose Outlook sync anymore. I need to switch off calendar from iTunes to enable usual usb sync with Outlook. I had to sync it twice while checking "replace iphone data" to get a stable behaviour (like before) IOS7.When I try to re-enable icloud calendars, it proposes me to merge them...
I did not test merging so far...
IOS7 and iTunes 11.1 are not completely polished ;-)

Syncing Classic with USB killed docking station for my Nano

I have two libraries in Itunes, one for music and one for books. I use my Nano for music. After I organized a second library for books, I bought a Classic. It uses a USB cable. After my first hookup of the Classic, syncing the book library. The firewire docking station for my Nano no longer will connect that Ipod to Itunes. I can charge, but not sync. Is this a new feature from Apple or does Itune now only recognize Ipod thru the USB port? I can sync the Nano with USB, but I like the docking station

I do not think that your USB docking station is faulty. I use it all the time.
What killed my ipods (resulting in exactly your problem) was the update to firmware 1.1.2. I am on my fifth !! ipod classic (courtesy of technical support/ genius bar at the apple store) as they are not as solid as the older models and
may go wrong quicker, despite much more enhanced functions. Touch wood mine is working fine now.
In the mean time, you could try a hard/factory reset of your ipod:
apple doc: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1339
Interesting may also be "hidden" ipod commands:

Hope you can sort it.
