I have tried SYBA combo card and IOGEAR combo card to get USB 2.
have tried ALL the tricks (NVRAM etc..) what I get is irratic performance. external HD (usb2) not showing up--sys profiler and disck utility hanging up--no answers from any place. HAY APPLE--WHATS UP?
any of us geeks got ANY answers?
all I want to do is have some USB 2.
the drives are cheeper and my vId pod needs it.

just trid a USB 2 only card from comp usa (only 2 sockets). all it did was show that I had usb2 (sys profile) and slowed down the machine quit a bit.
it did not see anything I pluged into it.
I MAY try a sonnet alegro....although I might just say "f@#ck it" to the whole usb bunch of cr*p that it is, junk all my usb sh*t and just go fire wire.
at least that works and apple gods(sic) seem to want to support it.

PCI USB Card Does NOT Work With Mass Storage Devices

I have a StarTech PCI card with 6 USB 2.0 ports that I inserted in my 500 MHz (overclocked) B&W Power Mac G3. It works great for any USB device EXCEPT for any hard drive or DVD/CD-RW drive. I checked the system.log file for errors. Nothing shows up in System Profiler or Disk Utility, obviously. Here's what it consistently says:
Dec 16 23:33:28 Geoff-Myers-Power-Mac-G3 kernel[0]: USBF: 674.997 [0xf9c000] The IOUSBFamily is having trouble enumerating a USB device that has been plugged in. It will keep retrying. (Port 6 of hub @ location: 0x62000000)
Dec 16 23:33:33 Geoff-Myers-Power-Mac-G3 kernel[0]: USBF: 679.977 [0xf9c000] The IOUSBFamily was not able to enumerate a device.
I'm running the latest version of Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.3. What is wrong? StarTech doesn't have a driver, but nothing should be necessary. Is there a 3rd party USB Mass Storage Device driver that might work better than the Apple generic driver? PLEASE HELP ME! I cannot live with USB 1.1.

Some users have reported problems with certain brand cards and their controller chipsets, so trying a different card may resolve the problem. Keyspan and Macally are often mentioned as being more "Mac-friendly" than some other lessser-known brands or generic cards. Does the card have a mini-power port to supplement the power requirements? With USB 2.0, each port is on a separate bus, so a card with six ports should have one. To minimize the overall draw on the available power, I prefer to install USB cards with as few ports as are needed.

Problem with KTV3 and PCI USB card extension from QTEC type 13068

Hello all,
I have been trying to make work a PCI USB card extension from QTEC type 13068. This card allows to give 4 USB ports more.
My problem is that oinly 2 ports are working and WINXP SP1 is saying that there are not enough ressources for all the PCI functions. However there is enough free IRQ. Even using this card alone on the mainboard give the same error.
I am using a KTV3 (MS-6712 VER:1.0A) and I have no idear why this is happening. Could it be a bad interaction between the BIOS and the card? wall Or WIN XP? angryfire
All comments and ideas to try are welcome especially from those who have this QTEC card.
Regards.

What operating system are you using? The card requires SP1 for XP and SP4 for 2000. If you have these, try to uninstal the cardl and let Windows reinstall the card on start-up.

Mobilemate usb card reader adapter worked well in Macbk pro. suddenly stopped showing up as a device in finder-it is listed as a device in utilities- how do I get it to show up again?

Can anyone tell me how to get my mobilemate sandisk usb card reader adapter to show up in the finder as a device? Card is good and the adapter was working fine until my boyfriend tried to get it to work in a photo frame. When I plugged it back into my mac bk pro it is not recognized in the finder.
It does show up in the utilities as a usb device.
Does not show up as it had before in Image Capture or Iphoto.
LIke I said it was working in this computer no problem. light is on as if it is reading. card is not locked.
thanks!

I reformated the disk with an applecare rep this morning. it did not correct the problem.
the card works fine when I insert it directly.
Just trying to find out why the adapter no longer shows up in the finder when it did previously- yesterday.
This is a usb device. Device shows up in system profiler.

USB Card Reader no longer works after Lion update.

My USB card reader/writers no loger work since I "upgraded" to Lion 10.7.4. All was well with Snow Leopard, but with no built-in SD card reader I must rely on USB readers. Anyone know how to fix this issue? Are there updates avaiable or coming soon to resolve this issue?

Hi MissMedia 83 and welcome to the forums!!
This has been a trend that a lot of AppleCare advisors have been seeing as call drivers. Essentially, many of the USB internet modems that are used widely require a 32bit kernel to operate. In Snow Leopard, although the system was in 64bit by defauly, people had the option of booting the computer into a 32bit mode to use the USB modems successfully.
With Lion, however, no such options exists. If your USB modem device is only compatible with a 32bit machine, then your only options are to either downgrade to Snow Leopard or find a different provider that supports 64bit.
Sorry to be the bearer of crappy news. My suggestion is to use something like a pocket wifi or personal hotspot, where you have a wifi network that is being created by a small device that connects to the cell network. Much much easier and your computer thinks it's just a regular wifi network.
This is what I think the issue is anyway. Could be wrong.
Any other suggestions?

USB Card Reader Works with Bios 1.70

Just to report that I upgraded to Bios 1.70 and reconnected by USB Card Reader and I rebooted the computer a few times with NO bios hang-ups! Your milage may vary, but I'm happy to see MSI fix this big issue with me!

...hmmm...same here, maybe 95% of the time...nevertheless, much improved...

Slow USB Card Reader - MacBook Air / Windows 7 64-bit / Boot Camp 3.2

Installation of Windows 7 64-bit on my new MacBook Air 11" seemed to go flawlessly from the attached USB SuperDrive. I see no driver issues or unrecognized devices in Device Manager. However, when attaching my Transcend USB 2.0 Compact Flash card reader to load pictures from my camera into Lightroom 3.3, data transfer is mega-SLOW. It takes several minutes (10?) to transfer just 4 pictures. It seems like it may be operating at USB 1.0 speeds.
Installing software from the SuperDrive on the same USB port seems to work fine. Attaching a USB mouse works fine. However, the USB card reader is very, very slow.
If I attach the same card reader, CF card, and cable to another Windows 7 machine, it works fine, so I don't think there's a problem with my reader / card / cable.
Any thoughts about how I might improve performance for the card reader on the MacBook Air (other than running Mac OS)?
Thanks!

What do i do when my iphone has a usb card and the itune icon on it

im trying to find out how can i fix my iphone it has the usb card and the itunes i cone on it.

That means you need to plug it into iTunes and restore it.

Can anyone recommend a USB CF card reader that will work in my Macbook Pro Retina? My USB card readers for CF cards do not work

At present, the only way I can load photos from a CF card to my new Macbook Pro Retina is by loading them onto an external hard drive via an old PC that can accept either of my USB card readers, then plugging the external hard drive into my MBP. Neither the USB card reader or the cable that comes with the Canon HDSLR camera will transfer photos directly to my MBP. I find it unbelievable that I have to go to a PC to load photos because I can't do it with my new MBP.
Has anyone found a reliable USB CF card reader, or one that connects via thunderbolt or HDMI, at any price, that will work directly with the new MBP Retina?

This is what we need:
Location photoshoot - we use the Canon EOS 5D Mk II still camera & the Canon FX100 pro camcorder.
CF cards are: SanDisk Extreme UDMA & SanDisk Extreme Pro UDMA 6 for video (I think they are both Type II) My Mac recognises them both as FAT 32 format
My MBPRetina is on the latest version of Mountain Lion OSX 10.83
the files from the camcorder will transfer to my MacBook Pro Retina directly via the camera's cable but it is quite slow & it means I cannot continue to film while downloading files but this we can live with.
the files from the still camera Canon EOS 5D Mk II will not transfer directly via the camera's cable - have yet to get the Canon software to download, but via the camera's cable will not help anyway as we need to have the still camera free to keep shooting.
We need to be able to take out the CF card from the first part of the shoot & download the still shots while just on the Macbook's battery power, while we insert a fresh CF card back into the still camera to continue with the next part of the shoot simultaneously (while the first card is downloading.)
The files from the first part of the shoot will be both in RAW (.CR2) & Jpeg format. We just need to quickly transfer the jpegs, then I do a quick sort, batch the best ones as black/white images, & use these in a client slideshow immediately after part 2 of the shoot.
Obviously we need fast data transfer speeds, & rely on the MBP's battery power while on a location shoot.
The card readers I have tried are an older specific CF card reader branded as Palm, & a USB 2 multi card reader branded as Travel Flash. With both readers, the lights on the readers flash on & off, & the MBP recognises the card & the files will even appear both in Finder & in i-Photo, so it starts importing, then aborts with an error message saying:
'The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “” can’t be read or written.
(Error code -36)'
& another message saying:
'the disk was not ejected properly'.
So it appears the MBP does read the CF cards but the card readers don't stay connected, no matter what angle I put them on or however many times I re-connect them.
Yes, they are probably cheap & I want to buy a decent one.
So, in summary:
the card reader needs to work when the MBPR is only on battery power (I read in some forums that some USB card readers aren't so reliable on the laptop's battery power)
the card reader needs to be quite fast. I have read the USB 3 readers won't read CF cards at higher than USB 2 speeds. Is this true? Are the firewire connected ones faster, & if so, are they still reliable on the MBP's battery power?
From research, it appears my problem is associated with my specific model of Mac & platform, being MacBook Retina on Mountain Lion OSX Version 10.83. If any of the recommended card readers have been successful with this, plese let me know.
Thanks heaps for the suggestions so far.

What is the recommended length of the cable in between the GPIB instrument and GPIB-USB card.

hi,
we are planning to use GPIB-USB Controller in our application by replacing the existing GPIB-PCI controller. Our GPIB instrument doesn't have the standard IEEE GPIB Connector. So, we will have to connect one more cable in between GPIB-USB controller and the GPIB Instrument. I just want to know what is the recommended lenth of the cable that can be connected in between the GPIB instrument and the GPIB-USB card. Could anybody please help me?
Thanks,
Rajaram

Page 730 in the 2001 catalog gives detailed cabling requirements for the GPIB bus. It's usually best to keep the length 2meters or less.

New iPod not loading on computer w/ new USB card... HELP!

My new 30g 5g is only about a month old. I've been hooking it up to my computer (PC) via the old USB (1) and it has worked fine. I just got a new external drive which pushed me into needing more USB slots so I got a new USB 2.0 card (Startech) and put that in my computer. The drive and everything else works fine through the card, however, my ipod won't work properly with it. The iPod used to load on My Computer as an ipod with its name and when opened would show the folders on the iPod. Now, it loads as a "removable disk" with nothing inside. And it won't load in iTunes at all.
If I connect it through the old USB slot it seems to work as normal. Also, anything else I connect with the new USB card works fine.
I've tried updating iTunes, restarting, tried all the different ports on the new card, took the card out and reinstalled...
I've avoided wiping my iPod so far, but I know that is one option. My iPod is basically brand new so I'm stumped. Any help is appreciated.
PC Windows XP

my only suggestion would be to format it thru windows (mycomputer, right click the ipod, format, quick format) then restore it with the ipod updater.
i myself am looking into getting a usb 2.0 card because im hoping it will fix my problem with random disconnections. i hope you work it out.

Sun Ray - How to get external USB Card Reader working

Dear All,
i have the following problem. Maybe someone could help me or give me a clue to solve it.
SunRay Software 5 installed
Window 2003 R2 TerminalServer
Here my question:
I use a kiosk session with a smart card to conncet to the windows server - works perfect.
Login Screen and go.
Now i have to have to authenticate myself with an external usb card reader and smart
card (connected to the sun ray) to use a certain application on my win2003 server.
Via the windows rdp session (from the laptops) everthing is ok. The information from
the card reader is transferred to the server.
If i use the Sun Ray nothing happens. So here is my problem:
How do get the authentication information from the smart card to the server?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Hans-Peter

Basically, reinstall the Boot Camp video drivers manually and if that doesn't work then go to the AMD/Radeon website and install the Windows drivers directly for your video card model.
If you want to do a search you will find others that have pretty good luck doing it either way.

Powermac 8500 USB Card

I have bought a PCI USB card for my Powermac 8500. The Card has a Opti 82C861 Firelink chip. This card works with my USB Mouse, Keyboard and Gamepad and I would like to use USB pendrives with my computer. I have tried with my Digitor 2gig USB pendrive but I don't think it is being detected properly. Would this be possible?
The USB card is the only PCI card I have installed in my mac in the bottom slot.
I reinstalled Mac OS 9.0.4 and upgraded it to 9.1 after I installed my USB card.
The installed drivers are whatever Mac OS 9.0.4 and 9.1 have installed and also the USB Adapter Card Support 1.4.1

Because the "USB Adapter Card Support 1.4.1" drivers pre-date the OS 9.1 Update, you should not use that installer beyond OS 8.6. OS 9.1 provides broader USB support and its included drivers can be manually installed on systems running OS 8.6 for better recognition of devices. You should find the following drivers in the Extensions folder, with #2 being essential for functionality of USB flash/hard drives:
(1) USB Support
(2) USB Mass Storage Support
(3) USB Device Extension
(4) USB Software Locator
(5) HID Library
(6) SerialShimLib
(7) ENETShimLib
How many ports are on the card? On older legacy Macs, I generally installed USB 1.1 cards having 2 ports. An external powered hub is useful, if there are many devices to connect - especially a bus-powered hard drive. I'd also recommend installing more memory. OS 9.1 could use a little more than 64 MBs of installed memory.

Rear audio with audio usb card, hercules muse

Hello,
i have bought an audio usb card (hercules muse pocket lt), but i have a problem to use rear audio output. Using vlc player it works fine with all outputs (if it plays a dvd with sound 5.1), but with other softwares (itunes, dvd player..) it doesn't work .. so it works in 2.1 mode, only in stereo.
In Audio/Midi setup, i have configured the speakers, multiple channels, and 5.1 surround, and I test each speaker and they work fine! But in audio output list i can set only master volume, and the six channels aren't active.
Is there a solution to use the rear audio output?
Thank you, and sorry for my english, i hope you understand my problem!

I did a quick search on Google and came up with quite a number of solutions.
Best of luck.

Camera / USB card reader not connection to macs anymore - fine with PCs

Hi there,
I have a Canon EOS 50 which has a CF card - I normally connect this to our macbook pros with a crd reader via usb. Alternatively, I connect the camera directly.
Yesterday, something started to go wrong.
I was connecting the card to download photos - at first it recognised the card as an external drive, but was taking ages to read the photos. Then it flashed an error message up that it couldn't read the format of the disk (it had previously for about a year!).
Now when I connect the card via either reader or by connection to the camera, it doesn't recognise the card at all.
I tried this on both my mac book pros we own. Same issues.
Canon HD camcorder connects absolutely fine via usb, as does Ipod - so it isn't the usb port.
I think the cards are ok- (same issue with two different CF cards)
The camera connected no problem to my brother-in-law's vista machine, and downloaded the image files.
I tried connection with two different usb cables as well.
Any ideas as to what has happened?
Thanks,

Last year I purchased a USB card reader to have available with my laptop when I travel. It experienced the same problems you are having. It also wouldn't work with my G4.
I looked on the manufacturer's web site and sent their Customer Support an email explaining the problem. They sent me a new reader at no cost. It works. Suggest you do the same.
