USB drive issues

Please forgive the niave question-- How do I unplug a USB drive with OS 9.2? I tried eject, but I get a message that items are still in use (when nothing's open or running)...
Thanks.

Download the List Open Files utility from this page and use that to find out which files are open; if possible, close them. If you can't close the open files, restart the machine; you can force the closure of a file with DeskZap, but it may cause whatever application is using it to act improperly.

IPhone 5 iOS 6.1.4 and Windows 7 x64 USB Driver Issues

Been pulling my hair out with this one for the last week or so and haven't had any luck finding anything on the forums or the web regarding a solution short of a full reinstall of Windows 7 which I am not prepared to do at this time; so hoping someone here can shine some light on this for me
I have a iPhone 5 that is updated to iOS 6.1.4 and a recently built Windows 7 64-bit machine. All of my other USB devices function fine (keyboard, mouse, Xbox 360 wireless receiver for Windows, and a Seagate 2TB external USB drive). I've downloaded the most recent version of iTunes, installed successfully and then attempt to plug in my phone to sync. I get the standard Windows *ding* that I've attached a device and 1 of 2 things happens (I haven't been able to determine what causes one reaction to happen versus the other): Windows will successfully install the 'Apple USB Mobile Device Driver' successfully and it will appear under my USB devices in Device Manager. However - iTunes will not recognize the phone and I cannot see it in Windows either. In the 'Devices and Printers' snap-in my iPhone will appear under 'Unspecified Devices' as the 'Apple USB Mobile Device'. The iTunes diagnostics fail to find a connected device so the tests fail. As soon as I unplug the device, the strangest thing happens: Windows will start trying to install a device driver and after a few seconds it will fail stating that the "MTP Device Driver" installation failed because the device was unplugged. iTunes also thrown an error "iTunes cannot connect to this iPhone" throwing error code 0XE8000065 (I've also seen error code 0XE8000085 as well)
After some finagling, I've managed to get Windows to recognize the device under 'Portable Devices' in Device Manager as an "MTP USB Device" using the generic driver. At this point, I've tried updating the driver and manually specifying the Apple USB driver located in the C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Drivers which updates successfully but then changes the device to "Apple USB Mobile Device" and moves it under the USB Devices in Device Manager; and Windows nor iTunes can see it even still.
I've tried removing iTunes several times and ensuring that all remnants of the installation are gone (registry and folders on the installation drive) and have disconnected all my USB devices short of the keyboard and mouse and still I get the same results. At this point, I'm afraid that a re-install of Windows is going to be the solution; but it's a drastic one (I have a SSD drive where Windows is installed along with all of my games for faster load times/better performance and do not want to have to redownload\reinstall all of them) and I'm not prepared to undertake it at this time, which is why I'm posting here
I've used a utility called USBDeview that sees my phone is connected - so I know from a functional standpoint that my USB ports are good and working. I also know the cable is good too - my daughter's PC (Windows 7 32-bit with NO iTunes) immediately sees the device when I plug it in, installs the drivers, recognizes it as an iPhone and I can then see/browse it in Windows Explorer like I would normally expect. My work PC (Windows 7 64bit, NO iTunes) sees the device just fine as well. I would immensely appreciate anyone that has seen this issue or has any additional solutions I can try.
It's also worth mentioning that I've never used Kapersky antivirus so the UPPERFILTERS value in the registry that I've seen as a solution on some forums is not present on my machine. I'm using Microsoft Security Essentials as my antivirus (no flaming please lol - it meets my needs and is extremely lightweight, which is why I'm using it on a gaming rig) and it's not indicating any issues. I've also tried running iTunes as an administrator (even though my account is a local admin on the machine) and that does not have any effect either.
If there is anything I left out, please let me know; and I thank you in advance!

T61 - Rescue and Recovery - USB Drive issues

Ran into disk space issues with RnR on my C: since I was not manually using RnR and have other back-up tools, I uninstalled RnR. A few weeks later, I re-installed the latest RnR version as I now have possesion on a USB Western Digital drive. I then ran RnR to the USB drive. Here is the problem:
The USB drive now has a new drive name and letter desigation, from drive G: to drive Y: The real killer is that I had other files on drive G:
Looking at the drive size, it appears that ALL files are still on the USB drive.
Question: How do I get the drive to be recognized as drive G:? How do I get access to the files that were on that drive? Would un-installing RnR set the drive back to C: and provide access to my files?
Note: There was no warnings during the back-up that any of this would happen. I can't find any warnings or descriptions in the manuals either.

Question: How do I get the drive to be recognized as drive G:? How do I get access to the files that were on that drive? Would un-installing RnR set the drive back to C: and provide access to my files?
Vista - start - computer - right click - manage - (if uac on, accept) - disk management - select the disk- right click and you are given the oportunity to change the drive map (i don't know if that helps)

Apple Mobile Devices Support USB Driver issue

While I am aware this is a somewhat common problem, I have already followed all suggested routes I've seen for fixing it, and none have worked. My computer seems unable to detect my iPhone at all, and seems to fail to install the AMDS USB Driver (though all other elements of iTunes appear to install correctly.
Here is some relevant information to help troubleshooting.
I have already stopped and restarted AMDS and enabled automatic startup (http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1567)
I have already uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and related services (Including AMDS) (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923)
I have tested all relevant hardware, including the iPhone itself, the connecting cable, and the USB ports that I've used, and all are functioning correctly (The iPhone can connect to other computers using the same cable, the computer can connect to other devices using the same USB ports)
I have the newest version of iTunes available (11.1.5)
While Apple Mobile Devices Support is installed, the USB Driver associated with it does not appear in the device manager. I have checked all folders in the device manager, including (but not limited to) Imaging Devices, Portable Devices, and Universal Serial Bus Controllers.
There are no "Unknown Device" entries in the Device Manager
My operating system is WIndows 7
Both before and after reinstalling iTunes completely, Windows is unable to detect the iPhone in any obvious way (My Computer screen, Device Manager, etc). The USB driver for Apple Mobile Device Support is not disabled, but rather does not appear at all.
What could be the cause of this problem? Is there a way to install the USB driver by itself without installing/reinstalling the related iTunes applications?
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

really? so apple.com arent checked by those who work on apple improvements? that would be kinda stupid im my ears. some comments here have an answer from ppl with an apple symbol, "specialists" they call them self. need some respons from them maybe.
i have tried everything, worked fine before the latest patch, so why cant it be a driver bug? they are humans too, they who make drivers. they just have to admit they had done something bad here, and solve it fast.
can i download an old itunes or something so i can atleast send my photos over.
the PC dont even say "couldn't install driver" or what it says in english, nothing happends at all. the drivers are there.

USB drive issues with Maverick

Good day Apple friends,
Since I installed Maverick I have numerous issues with my Macbook Pro-Retina mid 2012.
When I connect my usual USB drives they don't react the first time. I always have to deconnect and immediately reconnect to make it work.
It is not a question of delay, it is a question of 1st or 2nd time. I basically go: connect, disconnect, reconnect and voilà!
It happens with many 2-4-8 GB USB sticks which were fine before Maverick. It does NOT happen with SD cards though.
Why?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

ITunes on USB drive issue with deleting songs

Hi!
I have my iTunes library on an external USB Drive but I have a big problem when I try to remove songs from iTunes...
When removing songs from iTunes I select the "move to trash" option. The songs appear in my trash but are not deleted from my usb drive... It seems that it simply copies them to the trash but if I browse through the "iTunes Media" folder on the drive, I still find all the songs.
Any ideas? this is a big issue for me since I have to daily add and remove hundreds of songs.
Thanks!!!

Have you emptied the trash?

IMac and Formatting USB Drive Issues

I have an 8GB USB drive that I formatted to MS-DOS FAT using my iMac with 10.6.4 on it. However I now realise that that was a stupid thing to do as now that drive no longer works on Windows no matter what I format it too. I want the pen to allow me to use it on both WIndows and Mac (hence the FAT format) however Windows sees the drive as an unformatted 200MB drive with 7.16GB of unallocated and corrupted space which cannot be formatted.
Windows cannot even attempt to allow me to format it to gain the 8GB back as it is unable to format the space even when its turned into free (empty) space. Luckily OSx can still use it as normal but it just means I've lost a perfectly work USB drive due to an error in OSx.
Can anyone help to to fix this as I really want it to work and I'm stumped as to how.
Thanks!

It shouldn't matter as I created the files and folders originally on a FAT formatted drive and copied them to my Mac then back at a later date, at which point an error was encountered and prevented me copying folders to the dive (the contents was fine once removed from folders and sub folders).
I believe Apple has fixed this now, however when I formatted the drive my iMac had this problem so I believe this effected the FAT formatted drive to prevent Windows working with it.
Well I have finally managed to fix the drive. I had to format the drive to free space and then plug it into a Windows 7 PC and then delete the free partition and reallocate it again to FAT 32. Window Vista and XP where an able to do this as they say I didn't have permission to do this and asked for a restart. Strange but atleast it finally works on both machines.

HP laptop USB driver issue

hello guys i have an hp laptop pavilion g6 i got a problem with my usb cable connected i can't connect through my laptop and installing hardware becomes failed and it appears in the device manager an exclamation point on iphone ..please help me im troubleshooting this for weeks ..your help is much appreciated ..and when i troubleshoot the icon it says iphone does not have a driver ..

Hello ramziman,
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
I understand the iPhone is not properly connecting to the computer. Please try the following troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue:
Go to the Start menu (or Start screen), and type "services.msc" in the search bar (without the quotes). When it appears as an option, right-click and select "Run as administrator". Look for the "Apple Mobile Device" which should be near the top. Ensure it is "Started" and "Automatic". If it is, stop the service. Then, close all Apple programs (iTunes) and unplug the iPhone and any other Apple devices. Then, go back and start the service. At that point, open iTunes and then plug in the iPhone.
Please try this and let me know what happens.
Have a wonderful day!

Sporadic USB drive issue with Mini -- iPhoto can't save, can't eject

I recently bought an Ultra stackable USB enclosure and a 1 G WD SATA drive. The drive formatted ok and I was able to move 500 gigs worth of media onto it. So far so good.
Now, sporadically iPhoto and iBank (possibly others too, but I haven't kept track) complain that they can't save their data. They can open it but they can't save it. Running "Verify and Repair" from disk utility yields nothing. Rebooting and running the disk utility yields nothing either.
When that happens I close all the apps and try ejecting it. Finder says the drive is in use and cannot be ejected. "lsof" output from terminal yields nothing. Only thing that helps is either a reboot or "hidutil eject -force" followed by remounting the drive using the Disk Utility.
After that all is well for another 2 days or so and the problem surfaces up again. I am dumbfounded as to why this happens. The drive seems ok, everything seems normal, so I am lost.
Any thoughts before I call AppleCare with this ?

No, I eliminated that problem by connecting directly.
I noticed that I may have accidentally placed a shortcut to "Macintosh HD" on that drive. It is possible that ejection issues could've been caused by that, i.e. "Macintosh HD" is always in use. Perhaps that was my problem ? I deleted the shortcut, we'll report what happens.

Windows 7 installation from USB drive issue

I tried installing Windows 7 through a USB Thumb drive. I got an error message saying
"No device drivers were found. Make sure the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK."
Please help me.

Hi:
See if either of the driver files I have attached work.
If they don't, I won't be able to assist you any further.
You will have to try each of them separately, because they have the same file names in the folders.
Download, unzip and copy just the files in the folders to a usb flash drive.
With the flash drive and W7 installation media plugged into the machine, boot from the W7 installation media.
After you select the install now option, select the Drive Options - Advanced menu, then select the Load Driver option.
You should now see the storage driver files listed.
If you check the box, it will only include the compatible driver.
Follow the prompts and hopefully, W7 will install.

External USB Drive Issues. PC can see it but My MAC cannot.

I have this External USB HD. I used to have it plugged into my MAC, it worked fine the entire time I had it plugged in. I took it off to save some files from my PC, everything saved fine. I tried to plug it back into my MAC and I get nothing. I tried plugging it back into the PC and it sees everything just fine.
How can I fix this???????

If the drive ever worked on either system, it's not a matter of drivers. If you could see the files saved from the Mac to the drive when you first plugged it into Windows, the problem was probably caused by Windows. Because of the fact that Windows and Mac OS X use different file systems natively, if one was used to format the drive it may not 'play nice' with the other. Most external drives meant to be read by more than one OS are FAT32, which Windows can write to for sure and Mac OS X ought to be able to write to as an external drive. If the external drive's controller does anything to make the drive specially compatible with one OS or another, it could be mucking things up. If you can still view the drive in Windows, see what file system it says it's using.

Unable to Load USB Driver in LV for Total Phase's Aardvark I2C adaptor

I have tried to instal Total Phase's Aardvark I2C USB driver for LabVIEW on two computers and two versions of LV (8.5 and 7.1) without success. The Windows driver seems to be working fine as their command center gui terminal-esque program works without a hitch, but the LV DLL doesn't seem to work.
Attached is the very simple vi to find connected Aardvark USB devices (aa_find_devices). It always returns the same error code, 8002, which resolves to:
AA_UNABLE_TO_LOAD_DRIVER
-2
unable to load USB driver
From their documentation: http://www.totalphase.com/docs/aardvark_datasheet/sect005/#s5.9
This looks like perhaps the LabVIEW DL, "aardvark.dll" maybe having a versioning issue. So my question is this: Using LabVIEW, how does one debug dll dependencies and resolve issues like this? Do I need the source code for the lib?
Cheers,
Joe Gorse
Solved!

Dear Joe,
Let me start off by apologizing for the inconvenience you
have gone through. I am an engineer at Total Phase. We are
working on fixing this issue for our next release of the
Aardvark LabVIEW Driver. This forum post was only brought
to our attention today. In the future, you can also let
Total Phase know about these kinds of issues by emailing
[email protected] We are very responsive through
email or phone.
The problem you are experiencing has to do with versioning
issues between our DLL and USB driver. Specifically, DLLs
before v5.xx must use the older version of our USB driver.
By replacing the DLL from our latest version of Control
Center, you have effectively upgraded the DLL that the
LabVIEW driver is using and made it compatible with v2.xx of
the USB driver.
The most likely reason that smercurio_fc did not see a
difference between the DLL in Aardvark Control Center and
the LabVIEW driver is because he is using an older version
of Control Center and correspondingly an older version of
the USB driver.
The reason that we have not packaged the LabVIEW driver with
latest DLL is due to the fact that a few functions have
changed their function prototypes (for example aa_open_ext
and aa_spi_write), and the VIs have not yet been updated
accordingly. Although updating the DLL solved your USB
driver issue, it introduced this new issue. If you try to
use these certain VIs, LabVIEW will error out.
We are currently working on updating the LabVIEW drivers to
work cohesively with the new DLL and USB driver, and this
should be available soon. If you need immediate
availability to the functions with new prototypes you will
have to change it manually. The other recommended option is
to simply revert back to the DLL that is packaged with our
LabVIEW driver and downgrade the USB driver back to v1.xx.
I will make sure to post again once the update is released,
and I once again apologize for the inconvenience.
Best regards,
Etai

Display and driver issues with Windows 7 on i5 MBP

Hello-
I just purchased one of the i5 Macbook Pros, and set out to get Windows 7 working through boot camp. I did this on an older model (32-bit) previously with no problems.
This time around, installation of Windows worked fine, but I have had some trouble getting all the drivers working. The setup.exe program on the OS X DVD didn't want to run at all, I had to do a workaround from the command line that I found on a forum (otherwise I just got a response of "Bootcamp x64 is unsupported on this computer model").
Eventually I got (at least some of) the drivers to work, but there are still some issues.
After installing the drivers, things like brightness and two-finger clicking started working. A number of other things still aren't, though:
- Display: My machine has a 1440x900 screen. But for some reason Windows refuses to go higher than 1280x800.
- Network: No wireless at all. Windows doesn't detect any wireless capability, and only gets on-line via ethernet.
There may be other issues, but these are the big ones. Can anyone provide suggestions on what to do to get everything working?
Thanks!

I just used winclone to move my Win 7 from my Core2Duo MPB to an i5 MBP and had to do a few updates and have eneded up in pretty much the same place as you. I won't bother installing from scratch. I'm guessing we just need to wait for some bootcamp updates for these new machines.
For those of you who are looking to migrate your bootcamp partition over, winclone made it easy - I followed the directions for resizing and Win7 boots, does a disk check, then installed many of the new drivers automatically. There are some drivers that are still needed however, wifi and video. I also so a USB driver issue but have to look at that a little closer before I comment.
Best of luck,
Simon
