USB 2.0 / FireWire Combo CardBus Card not working anymore

I've just upgrade my computer to Tiger 10.4.11 and I have attached to it a USB 2.0/FireWire CardBus card which had been working very well in OS Panther 10.3.9 but now it behaves weird, if it is connected when I start my machine it seems to work fine and even allow me to read discs if it have attached an external dvd drive but after some seconds stops the communication functions and make the computer to ignore the cursor commands, everything seems to work the same but I can't get any response with the mouse or track pad until the CardBus card is detached. This never happens when I worked with Panther... can anybody help?

Hi Jamie,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.

  • Seeking reliable USB Firewire combo cardbus card

    (Reposted from Bluetooth, USB, Firewire... forum in case I had misplaced it originally.)
    Subject line says it all, or mostly so. I have an IoGear GUF202 pcmcia card with two USB 2.0 ports, one six-pin FireWire port, and one four-pin FireWire port. Its USB 2.0 services are not reliable; sustained transfers freeze my 1Ghz Titanium PowerBook G4. I've seen online several other cards from different manufacturers with the same form factor, but haven't yet found one with the preferred NEC chipset for USB services.
    Can anyone offer a recommendation -- and a source? Swapping separate FireWire and USB 2.0 PC cards is becoming a pain.

    Hi, wsudderth. If you have a USB2-only adapter card that works to give you sustained transfers without any problems, I recommend that you continue to use it and forget about buying a combination USB2/FireWire card. Plenty of people have trouble getting sustained transfers even through USB2-only cards, never mind combo cards.
    USB2 seems more trouble-prone generally than FireWire, and in real life, it's considerably slower despite its higher theoretical maximum transfer speed. For most purposes, FireWire is a much better choice for a Mac user.

  • SDHC cards not working anymore on Lenovo U310

    Hello,
    The integrated SD card reader of my Lenovo U310 used to work fine until a couple of months ago.
    However, now it does not read SDHC cards (it used to read them)! It reads fine standard SD cards, and also micro SDHC cards (using their adapter of course).
    My girlfriend owns my same laptop and she has no problem at all! Her laptop has always read fine SDHC cards.
    The device manager recognizes the SDHC card and if I go to “my pc” I cannot see it there unless I tick the “Hidden Items”.
    I tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers
    Download and install the official “Alcor CardReader Driver” from the official Lenovo U310 support page
    Comparing the drivers the computer uses with the drivers on my girlfriend computer and they are identical!!
    Change the drive letter from disk management
    Format and re-installed Windows 8.1 64bits
    Nothing helped!
    Please note that if I uninstall the drivers and re-insert the SDHC card, the computer plays the sound and install the drivers, but the card remains not accessible.
    Pictures here:

    Is anybody able to help me?
    Thank you,

    Hello,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I have tried 2 different SDHC cards:
    1. San Disk 16GB Class 10 (30MB/s)
    2. Toshiba 16GB Class 10
    They both work on any other computer and cameras.
    I also tested them on my girlfriend's computer (she owns exaclty the same laptop that I have, Lenovo U310).
    Thus, the SDHC cards ar not faulty.
    "make sure the port isn't blocked in the Y50". What do you mena exactly?
    The reader works fine with standard SD cards, or with micro SDHC cards (using the adapter adapter).
    I tried to use some partition manager but did not work. "Please insert a disk in D: .... "
    Thanks for helping

    Hi all, in answer to the above suggestions:
    No the 10g database and listener is completely down (no services belonging to the new 10g database are running). I checked also alle the logs, but no messages anymore since saturday.
    What I did notice: Oracle92HTTPserver (a service normally started automatically) does not start. When I start it, it gives me a message that there is nothing to do and that the service therefore is not started. So the HTTP-server itself is not working anymore. I can't find any files changed by th installation in the Ora92 home Apache directories. All seems as it was before the installation And still it won't start....
    Does anybody have other suggestions? Please help.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jan.

  • My USB port (closest to the screen) is not working? And what is an IR Receiver in my USB port?

    Hi everyone,
         I recently found out that my USB port, closest to my screen, is not working. Before I called Apple Care for help, I performed a PRAM and a SMC RESET, which unfortunately did not work. I called Apple Care and they help me troubleshoot simple resets such as, shutdowns and restarts. The representative I spoke with conluded that the physical hardware has an issue and must be brought to the Apple Store for a diagnosis. I called the Apple Store to at least budget the fee for getting a USB port fixed and it's about $300.00. I never dropped my macbook or had any sort tactile encounterment with hard surfaces by dropping or hitting. I don't understand how my macbook pro would be physically damaged. I then thought maybe my software was out of date (right now I am running 10.9 Mavericks) or I forgot to do the minor software updates, but I was at a lost again because my macbook is up-to-date. I searched for further help and found a way to monitor what's plugged into my usb ports. (I read in the apple forums that a girl had nothing in her usb ports, but upon looking at the System Information> Hardware> USB, that the macbook recognizes that there are drives in the ports) I looked at my ports; one is being used by wirless mouse (the port that works) and the other (the port that doesnt work) is being used by an "IR RECEIVER". Now, is the IR Receiver actually using that port and that's why my macbook cannot recognize other devices inserted into that port? Or is the IR RECEIVER suppose to be in that port and that the hardware for that port is simply damaged (which would mean I need $300.00 to get that fixed)? I know this is a lot, but someone help me?

    I can help with the "IR Receiver" part of your question. That's the piece of hardware inside older MacBook Pros (MBPs) that lets them work with the Apple Remote. "IR" is the standard abbreviation for "infrared," the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum used by remotes for many common devices (stereos, cable boxes, Apple TVs, etc.). The remote sends a coded stream of IR pulses; a corresponding receiver in the target device "sees" the infrared light and decodes it. The MBP's internal IR Receiver sends the received signals to the processor via USB through an internal hub.
    The most recent MacBook Pros have dropped the IR receiver and no longer work with the Apple Remote.

  • Runtime error R6025 message after log on to Vista - Flash Card not working

    Hi
    I'm a newbie & would appreciate any advice.
    I am getting a runtime error message R6025 when I log on to Windows Vista.
    When I click out of the box I then get a message saying Toshiba Flash Card not working.
    I cancel that and my laptop is ok except I don't know if the flashcard is working or not because I don't know what it does.
    Sorry if I sound thick
    Thanks
    Neelie

    Hi
    I found this MS knowledge base article:
    +Description of the R6025 run-time error in Visual C++\+
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/125749
    But I doubt this description would be useful for you or anyone here. It describes this error in Visual C++ and this is programming language.
    However, I think you should simply reinstall the Value Added Package which you could download firstly from the Toshiba European page.
    At first you have to remove the old Value Added Package from the system, then reboot the notebook and follow with new VAP installation.
    Bye

    I have installed the agent 10 or 15 times and one installation has failed, no error appeared during the installation but I am having inconsistent issues with my ethernet card not working here and there.

    If you are searching the registry, check for the "Senforce" string. It should be at HKLM\Software\Senforce
    Try running the install program for the ZSC with the following command line:
    setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1"
    If you've specified an uninstall password, try this one instead:
    setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1 STUIP=password"" (please note the double quote at the end)
    Let me know if that helped you.

  • SB04100 Sound Blaster Card not working after computer rebuild

    =SB0400 Sound Blaster Card not working after computer rebuildZ I did a full disk format and reinstall for a friend on a Dimension 3000, running XP SP3. There is no sound at all. Speakers are good, tested on another system. Model number on the back of the sound card is SB0400, so I assume this is an older 24 bit PCI SoundBlaster card. Although I reinstalled all drivers from Dell, I found no drivers for this. The Creative site has no listing for this model.
    Computer does not seem to recognize the card. Have not opened the box yet but I assume if I were to remove and then reinstall the card it would be recognized (?) I then have to find an SB0400 driver.
    Does anyone know where I can find an SB0400 driver ? Does the strategy of pulling and reinstalling the card make sense ? (I have really avoided tampering with any of the hardware on this box -- since it is not mine.)

    Re: SB0400 Sound Blaster Card not working after computer rebuild? Thanks much for your response. Problem solved for now. I removed the board and then reinserted it, after which I was able to download the drivers directly. Some of my difficulty with this whole process has been ) I didn't know there was no working speaker in the computer and 2) I apparently misunderstood the BIOS settings for this. I re-set it up as an add-on board during the troubleshooting process. After loading the driver, I went back to the original setting (don't recall what it was but it was for integrated sound). The setting for integrated sound works fine, with external speakers and the new 24 bit driver. Still some noise (popping and static) but this board shares the bus with 2 other cards one of which is a wireless network card. May be a PCI latency issue but I'm reluctant to change that because the network card is a bit shaky anyway.
    Everything works for now -- I'll be glad to get this particular computer out of my house !

    My phone decided to go into the notorious restart loop - So following everyones advice on teh internet I performed a hard reset.
    It loads the orange sign - then the Nokia sign - then the windows mobile sign as if the phone is about to start with the noises etc... then it decides to goto a screen says
    "MEMORY CARD NOT WORKING
    Your memory card has changed, is damaged or is non-compatible.
    To fix this, turn your phone off and either remove the memory card or replace it with a new compatible card. Then reset your phone to the original factory settings.
    To learn how to reset your phone, refer to the owner's manual"
    I also get the option to make an "emergency" call or "turn off" the phone. the volume buttons also work the volume fine aswell as the option to change the phones mode from silent to vibrate or vibrate and ring.
    Tried hard reset numerous times, tried charing the phone for hours on end and trying it, tried soft resets. Basically the only options i've found.
    Just to add.... Why would a phone with no memory card slot even have a message stating that the memory card is faulty and that i could even remove or replace it???
    I hope someone manages to help me without having to cough up £50 excess to my insurance.
    Anyone come across this before?

    Sorry, it's my standard response, but your phone doesn't work. Take it back to whoever sold it to you. It's a consumer good, consumer protection rules apply.
    Your problem certainly has novelty value but if you've done the hard reset and it didn't work you're at the end of the fix it yourself stage.
