Usb block for pen drives/ usb storage but not for iphone, ipad & itouch

is there any way to block USB ports for pen drives/ usb storage so that we can confirm that no data is being leaked ?
can we allow only iphone, itouch or ipad to connect from USB ports ?

USB Storage devices not being detected - device nodes not created?

Hi,
I've installed Arch Linux 64-bit on my Dell workstation, and it doesn't seem to be picking up my USB storage drives. Kernel version is 3.6.3-1.
When I plug in a drive, I see in dmesg:
[391147.657574] usb 1-8: new high-speed USB device number 6 using ehci_hcd
However, I don't see anything else. There's nothing about creating device nodes, or anything like that.
My output from `fstab -l` doesn't seem to mention anything about USB drives either, just my two system drives.

I checked the output from lsmod, I dont' see usb-storage, but I do see sd_mod.
Any thoughts?

I have no idea, too. I usually don't reboot even after kernel update, because I always think "Oh, what the heck, I'll reboot it eventually anyway". As we can see, it's not always a good idea .

I plugged in USB cable but not showing connected status in my ipod 4th generation

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?
Have you carefully worked through each and every single suggestion in this Apple support document?

ITunes said my iPod Nano 4G is corrupted when it's in one USB port, but not in the other.

iTunes said my iPod Nano 4G is corrupted when it's in one USB port, but not in the other. Is the port faulty? Windows 7 PC

Could just be a loose connection or that the cable itself is going bad. There are a number of factors that could play into this scenario.

Why can I charge me iphone with my car's usb port but not my ipad?

Why can I charge my Iphone in my car using USB connection but not my Ipad?

Because the iPad requires a lot more power to charge than your iPhone, and typically car and computer USB ports simply don't proivide that much.
Its the same reason your iPhone comes with a 5Watt charger (and even then the iPhone only uses part of that) while the iPads come with the 10 or 12 watt charger.
They just need more power.

To detect if pen drive is connected or not in labview

i want to detect if pen drive is connected or not using labview
Stara
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi
One simple method you can use to list out the folders of your computer.
If any USB Pendrive is connected with your computer you will get the Pen Drive Name.
First get all number of drives. Make constant this value if next time with your pendrive you get the number of element is more then the fixed one then you can say external device is connected with PC.
May be this is not the standard method to detect the device, but it can solve your issue.

Is it possible to block a number in iOS 6 but the same iphone number could be viewed as online on whatsapp application in the blocked device?

Is it possible to block a number in iOS 6 but the same iphone number could be viewed as online on whatsapp application in the blocked device?

Hi ChrisJ4203,
I see you didn't comment on editing the numbers in the keypad, I believe you have that problem too but you forgot to click "I have this question too".
By the way I've sent a couple feedback messages to Apple already and thanks for reminding me, I guess I'll have to be doing that more often.
Enjoy your day

I have my iTunes library stored on an external hard drive which is connected to my airport extreme, I wish to share my iTunes library over my network, I can do this with my laptop, but not with my iPad, can anyone tell me if it is possible

You can't connect directly to the external drive, but should be able to use iTunes Home Sharing via the laptop.

One of my favorite things about developing for iOS using Xcode is the Simulator. It runs any of the iOS devices simulated right on your Mac. If you don't have a hardware device to test your application on, the Xcode simulator will surely be your best friend.
So to answer your question less vaguely, yes. You can own the iPhone 5s and develop for the 6. There is no real release information of the iPhone 6 at the time anyways, so I would not let it play too large of a factor in your decision.

HP Pavilion DV7 2206TX - DVD drive reads DVDs but not CD's

My HP Pavilion DV7 2206TX - DVD drive reads DVDs but not CD's.
When I insert a CD, the drive tries very hard to read the CD but gives up after about a minute.
I get no error message. I do not see the Auto play message.
Windows Explorer does not recognize the DVD drive.
When I insert a DVD, I get the Autoplay menu, Windows Explorer recognize the drive and the DVD. I can play the DVD using any number of Video players.
I would welcome advice relating this problem.

your HP Pavilion needs a new DVD driver. I ran into many problems such as this when troubleshooting computers in school.
A DVD drive should play CD at any time: While a CD driver will not play a DVD disc. Do not think there is a problem with sofware because it will only throw your troubleshooting skills out the window and it will confuse you.

ICloud Photo Library: How do I transfer photos and videos only from my iPhone to my iPad but not from my iPad to my iPhone?

I had iCloud photo libraey turned on on both my iPad and iPhone. As said by the feature, photos and videos were being transferred automatically from each device to each other. I have a 64GB iPad Air 2 and my iPhone 5 only has 16GB of storage so I am lacking much more space on my iPhone than my iPad. I was wondering if there was a way to transfer photos only from my iPhone to my iPad but not from my iPad to my iPhone. Would turning off iCloud Photo library on my iPad do the trick? Thanks hope someone can help me out.

iCloud Photo Library keeps all of your photos in the Cloud which you then can selectively download. So, unless you download the iPad photos, they are not going to be taking up any room on your iPhone:
How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your iOS device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. iCloud Photo Library stores the original, high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and can keep lightweight, device-optimized versions on each of your devices. As long as you have enough storage, recent photos and videos that you access the most will stay on your device at full resolution.
You can turn on Optimize [device] Storage from Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You need an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.
Here is a link to the FAQs page for iCloud Photo Library:

I can print from my Mac but not from my iPad.

I can print from my Mac but not from my iPad ,any ideas?

you can read here about airprint
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
if the printer don't support that then you need to find a printing app in app store
which will act the role as printer driver for the device to speak with the printer

I can call out but all incoming calls are going directly to VM with no signal that I missed a call or have VM. I can send/receive text messages from other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users, I am assuming this is really "iMessage." Is it apple software?

I have spent hours on the phone with Apple and AT&T. I went thought reset, on/off, etc, etc with both companies to no avail. Each company pointed fingers at the other....as being the source of the problem.
Problems: Suddenly ALL incoming calls were going directly to VM with no signal I missed calls and/or had VM. I was also unable to receive all Text Messages...Oddly, I could send text messages to anyone (even non-apple users but I could not receive their responses)........then I when I got home I started receiving text messages from other apples users ONLY. I assume now - iMessage kicked in and I could text (send/receive) other iPhone/iPad/iTouch users ONLY. ....yes, I could still (send) text messages to my husband's blackberry (he received my messages fine) but my phone would NOT receive his text respones.
Finally, I googled the problem and found this community where other people have had the exact same problems! One person said he "turned off 3 G" which was the solution for him....so I did the same and VIOLA! My problem solved! Nevermind the fact that I pay for 3G and cannot use it....so here's my question, if 3G is the problem on my phone is this an APPLE issue or a NETWORK problem? Do I purchase a new phone and slip in my same SIM card and hope the same does not occur or do I get a whole new SIM card and phone? What is the long term resolution to this problem?
I am happy however to find that my problem is NOT an isolated incident and wish Apple or AT&T had told me this is not so uncommon because I thought (based on the baffled response from Apple) that this has never occurred before. Where is Steve Jobs when we need him?

jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you. I look forward to speaking with you.

My iphone is activated in my computer but not on iphone whats the next step

my iphone is activated in my computer but not on iphone whats the next step

It sounds to me like you either got defective parts or otherwise did not make the repair correctly. We cannot help with self-repairs here, the iPhone officially not user servicable, but you can ask for advice in the forums on ifixit.com, a site which is dedicated to those attempting their own repairs.
Regards.
