USB Device mounting

I have a new cell phone (Samsung Juke) with USB capabilities. From snippets across the internet, it seems that people simply plug it in and it mounts. I have not been able to get it to mount, however System Profiler shows it as connected via USB and identifies it properly.
Is there a utility or workaround out there that will allow me to force mounting, explore the file system on the phone or otherwise troubleshoot here? I expect this to not be phone specific, just some general utility.
Thanks,
CPC

According to Samsung.com FAQs for the Juke, you can use Windoze Vista, XP, or 2000 to access the Juke through Windoze browser, Windoze Media Player or through a music loader that is distributed by your cellphone provider. Verizion and Sprint are the worst about this. They require carrier specific lockouts to be programmed into their phones. Samsung make no mention of how to locate the Juke with Mac OSX. I expect the the latest updates for 10.4 and 10.5 may have drivers in the next 3-6 months. Keep your Software Update turned on and keep trying.

  • USB device mounting via 'fstab'

    OK, ... just wondering which option, below, is appropriate/preferred for Arch using USB file systems in 'fstab':
    #1 
    none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
    #2 
    usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0
    #3 
    usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0
    Thanx.

    Sorry for the late answer .
    marin_linuxer:
    This is for usbfs (aka info for usb devices under /proc/bus/usb dir) :
    none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0
    rasat:
    make sure you have usb-storage, sd_mod in your /etc/rc.conf, then add the line you mention in /etc/fstab, changing 'auto' with the actual fs of your usb device

  • Installing arch to a USB device & mounting it.

    Odd.... when I plugin my usb and boot up the live cd of arch, it doesn't automatically detect it. I've heard of the usb_storage and such but never really understood it. Can someone help me mount my usb?

    Take a look at Achie and FaunOS, they both are based on ArchLinux

  • Camera's USB device appears on iPhoto but nowhere on the Desktop

    Camera is Fuji F30 (previous was Fuji F700).
    With the F700 we could access the F700's USB memory directly from the Desktop which was very convenient (see other post in this area)
    Now we can see the F30 as an icon within iPhoto but nowhere as a USB device mounted on the Desktop ....
    What happened ???? Does OSX have the ability not to mount it ? Is there a parameter somewhere ti fiddle with to "force mount" on the desktop ?

    Found a small APPLE app named "image tranfer" which does exactly what it pretents to be ...... and apparently much faster than within iPhoto (probably because no need to create thumbs, xreferences etc....)
    That shoud do the trick

  • USB 2.0 Mass Storage Device mounting issues and cannot write data on it

    I have a 250 GB external Simpletech Hard Drive (with a USB 2.0 interface). It works flawlessly in a Windows XP environment (strange!!). But when I connect it to my iMac thru the USB port 2 things happen:
    1. Sometimes it mounts, sometimes it does not. It's just capricious. If I boot the system with the USB device attached it mounts. If I connect it "hot", sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it does not appear as mounted...I disconect the device and the Mac gets angry.
    2. I can read all the data on the disk, but I can't write any. That is, I cannot use it for backing up any iMac data. The backup utility won't recognize the device either.
    I've seen people going thru the mounting issue (not sure if there is a solution), but I am puzzled about the inability to write data on the hard drive. I am wondering if this is due to a formatting incopatibility? Any hints??
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   2.33 GHz, 2GB, 750 GB

    For both the Mac and a Windows PC, format it as 'MS-DOS'.
    Both platforms can read/write to it. A Windows PC is not capable of reading/writing to a Mac formatted (HFS, HFS+) disk without additional software.
    MacFixit has been covering some apparent USB issues which may or may not help you. http://www.macfixit.com/
    I'm still at a loss. I have yet to experience or reproduce the USB issues that a number of users seem to be having. Now that I have sufficient free time, I may look into it.

  • Mac Pro no longer mounts external usb devices

    Hi there,
    Last week my mac pro stopped mounting my ipod shuffle as a disk (i was using it like a usb memory stick), i thought it was a problem with the shuffle and left it aside. But just yesterday the mac stopped mounting my external lacie 500gb disk. I had never had any problems before this.
    I then tried both the shuffle and external hd on my powerbook g4. They work perfectly!
    I then thought it might have been a problem with the usb ports on the mac pro - although all my other usb devices were still working - so i booted into xp with bootcamp, and the devices were recognised in xp perfectly.
    After searching various threads on different forums the general idea for this problem seemed to be to reinstall osx, which i have just done, and no joy. Im still not able to mount either of these devices.
    System profiler sees the devices, but thats it.
    Also, i recently bought a new usb memory stick (as i thought the shuffle was dead), this mounts and works perfectly!
    Anyone got any ideas?!
    Thanks

    Yes, i did the combo update immediatly after reinstalling osx and before pluggin in the usb device.
    The problem developed just before the release of 10.4.9, so i dont think it was the update that did it.
    I've only just got this MP back from Apple. The PSU had to be replaced. It took them nearly 3 weeks to do

  • [SOLVED]mounting cdrom and usb devices doesn't work

    Hello,
    i have trouble mounting my usb devices. automount doesn't work and i can't mount them manually even as a superuser. here's the output of mount command:
    mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc,
    missing codepage or helper program, or other error
    In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
    dmesg | tail or so
    i can mount cdrom manually but i can't do the same for my usb stick and external hard drives. it always complains about the above regardless of the filesystem. my devices are working under windows and other linuxes so i know hardware is not the problem.
    i'm using lxde with pcmanfm.
    if you need any other files just ask.
    thanks

    above was the error when i tried to mount any usb device with "mount -t <type> /dev/sdc /media/mountpoint". and i couldn't mount any usb device as root from console. when i tried to mount devices using pcmanfm it just popped some empty dialogs and i couldn't find any mention of "IsCallerPriviliged failed" error so i (wrongly) presumed it wasn't that. i did try some of the other fixes mentioned in the forum with no success. but adding exec ck-launch-session startkde to my .xinitrc fixed the issue
    thanks again

  • Issues mounting USB devices in Thunar under Openbox

    Basically, whenever I attempt to mount a USB device in Thunar, I get a message that says:
    Failed to mount "4.0 GB Filesystem
    Not authorized
    My .xinitrc looks like:
    exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch openbox-session
    It works when I use GDM to start openbox, but when I use slim, it fails no matter what I try. If anyone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it.

    Check for *.pacnew files in '/etc/pam.d/' (specifically /etc/pam.d/slim.pacnew).

  • Mounting USB devices in arch guest

    I'm new to virtualbox, but not to linux.  I have been using arch for at least 3 years, so I have some familiarity with it.  I have recently installed arch as a guest OS on virtualbox (on OSX host).  I am having some trouble accessing an attached USB device from the arch guest.  I have defined the virtualbox USB filter for my device, and it appears to work, detecting the identified device and attaching it to the guest (at least as far as virtualbox is concerned).   I can see the device in the virtualbox pull-down menu, and it shows with a "checkmark" next to it, showing (I think) that it has been attached to my arch guest.
    Problem is, I cannot see the device from the arch guest.  no entry in /dev for any USB device.  symptoms are the same whether i insert ther USB device before or after starting the arch guest.  I have HAL and dbus active in my guest.  Also, I have made this work in arch installed natively.  since there is no /dev entry, this might appear to be some form of udev issue?  is there a specific udev setup that I should be aware of for arch as a guest?
    Please help if you can.  I will appreciate all comments and suggestions.
    -dvh

    hey, ive got Arch setup in virtualbox as well, and can mount usb's and cd's etc. (although with some issues i may need to bring up in another thread...) anyways, im assuming you have the PUEL virtualbox and not the OSE one?
    also, your certain that you've mounted the correct USB (on the Virtual Box pull-down menu)? because you may have mounted a USB which was already attached to your host, and not the actual USB?
    just checking, i dont know much about how to fix this issue so im just going at the simple solutions...

  • Mounting usb devices as non-root user ??

    How can a non-root user mount a usb flash device?
    As root, the device is mounted as:
    mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c1tod0s2:c /mnt
    The vfstab entry for this is as follows:
    /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s2:c /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s2 /flash pcfs 2 no -
    This is running Solaris 8 on a SunBlade150

    Hello.
    I had the same problem.
    If you do not have root rights on the computer the answer is: You cannot mount the device.
    I had root access and I wrote a C program that (un-)mounted all possible device files (the "s2" devices as well as the "s2:c" devices because some flash devices come without partition table).
    I chowned the file to root and set the "set effective user ID" bit in the file's permissions using chmod after logging in as root - so any user can start the program.
    I think this is the most flexible variant because USB devices sometimes are assigned other device names.

  • USB devices won't mount after upgrade to 10.6

    Hello,
    I recently upgraded to 10.6 and ever since my USB devices (flash drives, and external hard drives) will not mount when the computer is safe mode. The device show up in disk utility but are unmounted. When I press mount it says that the disc needs first aid, I perform the first aid and nothing changes. My computer is always in safe mode, the devices will mount in a normal boot but my computer is not stable in a normal boot. Also, it seems that iPods and cameras work fine.
    Thanks for any help!

    Well, the problem is that - as outlined in one of the articles I linked to - some USB devices will not work in Safe Mode; that may have to do with the fact the Safe Mode is only meant to be a troubleshooting tool, not a regular way of booting up. Did you have the USB devices attached while upgrading to 10.6? That would also be a problem - I unplug everything except keyboard and mouse.And, did you repair permissions after the upgrade? If not, do it now.
    And, the other problem is the fact that you wait 1 - 2 years before addressing the issue; when you had it in for the last repair and it still exhibited the same problems afterwards, you should would have taken it back, possibly with some screenshots, exact notes of how/when/error messages, etc. and insisted on having it fixed or replaced.
    So, I'd run the Apple Hardware Test (after you make sure that you have a complete backup) - instructions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509
    Report back with whatever messages you wind up with.

  • [solved] Permissions issue - can't mount usb device as user, just root

    Mr. Elendig:
    Why not use automounting instead?
    To install Arch packages I needed an Internet connection, which required use of a Sierra Wireless card, which required chatscripts stored on another filesystem.  In my first Arch forum post ever, the one preceding this one, I learned to mount a device by creating a mountpoint in /media then invoking #mount.  After installing all packages and creating a user name, I signed on with xfce4 and plugged in the usb device again.  It didn't mount.  So I did it manually using sudo.  Since that worked I had the idea that adding the mountpoints to /etc/fstab would be useful, so I did.  When that didn't work I decided to just ask for help.
    So sure, I'm down for some automounting action.  How do I do it?

  • Problems mounting a Camera as USB device [RESOLVED]

    Thanks for the suggestions guys but neither worked.  Pudge, I was already part of the camera group.  Logging out and logging back in didn't fix it.  Interestingly, when I followed rayjgu3's suggestion I can't see any block device in /dev being created when I plug the camera in.  That suggests to me that this is the problem: no creation of a block device even though the device is recognised by the kernel (result from dmesg | tail).
    I'm out of my depth here.  Why would the kernel recognise the device but fail to create a block device for it?
