USB error and iPad mobile cart.
I have a 15 inch MacBook Pro managing a iPad mobile cart of 30 iPads. When I plug the USB cord with all the iPads hooked up to it into my Mac an error message comes up saying my USB ports are drawing too much power and that they will be turned off temporarily. This doesn't make any sense because the iPads have their one power supply. I unplug my Mac and restart it and about five minutes later the error message comes up again when there isn't anything connected to the USB ports and its been sitting on my desk untouched. What might be happening?
I would seek support from the maker of the cart. Few visitors to this forum are likely to have experience with such a device.

Error creating iPad mobile reports
I have a question specifically on creating mobile reports. I have searched as many places as I could find for this answer and have found nothing except ipad connection and mobile usage instructions. I must confess upfront that I am new to working with this system.
Background:
We have successfully connected to the iPad and I can see and download my reports. Per the instructions, the reports are in the Mobile category and show up correctly in the iPad app. I can open the reports, but that is where the issue starts. The server setup is BusinessObjects XI 3.1 SP4 and BusinessObjects Mobile SP4.
My understanding is that these reports are basic Web Intelligence reports that are sized for the iPad's screen. I am using InfoView to create these WebI reports through the browser-based Java GUI -- as the instructions suggest. The instructions suggest many design best-practices and suggest that pie charts and bar charts are available.
Problem
I have created the most basic report that contains only a table and a pie chart (I tried the bar chart too). When viewing this on the iPad, the table shows up formatted nicely but the pie chart has an error message in its place that says "This content is not supported".
i have taken the "Features Sample" report called "Formatted Report for Drill" and copied into the mobile folder. I appears on the iPad with tables shown nicely and all graphs replaced with the same "This content is not supported" error.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks.After posting the question, I found this document:
Link: [SAP BusinessObjects Mobile Release Notes|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31SP4/en/400_mobile_for_iPad_rn_en.pdf]
which describes many unsupported features and partially explains the issues I'm seeing.
On some reports I can switch to simpler graphs (basic 2D pie, etc) and the graph will work on the iPad. But there are others where I cannot get any graph to work. I'm still working on that... -
ITunes installation errors and Apple Mobile Device Errors
First I will explain how I got to where I am now. I had the an iTunes 7 version, don't know the specific, and I have an ipod touch. I had been ignoring the iTunes 8 upgradge things upon open of iTunes, cause i had absolutely no need for it and syncing music to my ipod was still working, and i dont care for itunes besides being able to use my ipod. Then the iphone os 3.0 came out and i wanted to download/pay for it, and when i attempted to do this i was promptly instructed that I needed iTunes 8. I closed itunes and reopened so i could just tell the prompt that i wanted to upgrade, then bonjour opened and i selected the itunes/quicktime package, it gave me an error saying i needed to download manually, so i turned off automatic install. I then downloaded again, it opened a folder with iTunes.msi among other things, I double clicked itunes.msi and it proceeded to install. I then had iTunes 8 installed, opened it up, and with my ipod touch connected, it told me I needed upgraded apple mobile device and i had to uninstall both apple mobile device and itunes to do this. so i uninstall itunes through add/remove programs, and attempted to uninstall apple mobile device and everytime i did this it would not complete and gave me "Fatal Error" prompt. I then tried to reinstall iTunes and it would not install, kept giving me an error and told me to try again. I searched google for answers and the best anyone could say was delete missing files and try again, so i can CCleaner and got rid of registrys etc, and still would not allow me to uninstall apple mobile device. i reinstalled itunes and it actually worked this time, and then i plug in my ipod touch and it tells me i need the upgraded apple mobile device again, and that i need to uninstall apple mobile device and itunes to do this. If i could get rid of apple mobile device altogether maybe i wouldnt have this problem, but it simply wont let me. Any help with this? and sorry this was so long, i figured someone would need to know what happened to know how to fix it.
It sounds as though using the Microsoft Installer cleanup utility is worth a go.
I will give you a method for removal of iTunes and related programs with clean up, I think you have already done the removal, but just in case you missed anything out.
==
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Save the files on your PC.
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
(To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes. -
My company doesn't support macs, but the mobile mail works great on my iPhone/iPad. The settings provided by my company enables syncing on my calendar, I can accept appointments, and my mail syncs perfectly and always faster than my DELL laptop wired to my network.
My question is this... I desperately want a macbook air as I travel ALL the time. Can I use my mobile settings to send/receive/coordinate my calendar just as my iphone does on the macbook air? I have a macbook pro and have been experimenting with the mail.app, and it can't connect to the mobile server to my company.
If the settings work so well on iphone/ipad, why can't I get them to work with the mail app on OSX?
First off, I'm set up as exchange on my iphone.
I enter my company email address, add my company user name, add my password, enter domain, and type in mobile.xxxxxxxx.com as my server... WORKS perfectly.
On the mail.app on my mac, there's no place to add domain, so I've tried to not add it, and also tried to put my domain behind my company username. DOMAIN\USERNAME.
Mail can not connect to the server.
Is a port issue?
I also tried to sync the account using itunes. I currently have a gmail account, mobileme account, a yahoo account, and my company exchange account. ONLY the mobileme and gmail account show up in the sync.
How do I solve this? How can I make it work? Is there a mail client out there which makes OSX look like a mobile device for email/calendar applications???
I tried apple support, and I guess they can't wrap their heads around the fact that some companies still do not support mac. Support was useless.
HELP!!Is there a way that I could use my (first generation) iPhone as a back-up modem for both notebooks?
No.

Phone was not updated on time so it automatically shuts off and you get a plain black screen until it is recovered and updated. Well when i did the update and recovery I received an error. I went through the steps to fix the error, I had to restart my computer and now the phone isnt recognized on my computer or in itunes. The screen is still completely black so pushing the home button and plugging in to computer still does nothing. Device manager shows nothing in usb port, and apple mobile device software is installed and running. Any help?
Hello agardner37701,
I found some steps you can take when your iPhone is not recognized by iTunes when in Recovery Mode. I recommend reviewing the steps in the section titled "If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode" under step 5 in the following article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

You can only add songs to your iOS device from iTunes via Wi-Fi sync or via your cable, not Bluetooth.

That's an entirely different issue, unrelated to your iOS devices. -
I'm trying to sync music from my itunes library on my PC to my ipad2. During process got an error(don't remember #) and then it went to backing up. Now the ipad is frozen with a usb cable coming up to a white arrow and then the itunes logo. The ipad will turn on and off but nothing else. Any ideas?
You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
Or you can follow these Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.

My iPhone5 and iPad Air won't sync by USB with iTunes 11.1.4(62)
Since updating to iTunes 11.1.4(62) both my iPhone 5 and iPad Air do not sync. I am using an Apple USB cable plugged directly into my 27" late 2012 iMac. WIth the phone I get an -50 error message. With theiPad Air it gets up to syncing Apps, and then gets hung up. I have rebooted all of the devices and iTunes multiple times, and it still does not work. Any ideas? I see a lot of people are having syncing troubles with iTunes 11.1.4(62) on different devices too.
Here is an article about the -50 error:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1583
It sounds like you have a firewall or virus protection software interfering with the process. -
when syncing with itunes, got error message saying had error and now ipad2 will not do anything other than showing the USB cable with arrow pointing to Itunes on screen. have done the reset and restart, but still get same thing. Ipad does not show up in itunes even though cable plugged in. Have shut down and restarted Windows 7 computer.
I had done all of that to no avail. I did call Apple Tech Support and after he suggested I try a USB port in the rear of the Win 7 computer, things starting working again. I had tried switching the USB port at the front of the machine but that had not helped. Everything is good to go again. thanks for your reply

can anyone tell me how to restore my iphone? Itunes will not let me and now my screen just has a usb port and itunes on it?
Error 1015: This error is caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple.
What this means is you have to delete your .ipsw file (it may be corrupted or old) and attempt to restore your iPhone again.
Where the .ipsw file is found:
Mac - ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
Windows XP - C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
Windows Vista/7 - C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates -
Nikon D90 and ipad connection through USB
i can't get the nikon d90 to speak to my ipad through the camera connection kit.
-hardware works, i can connect my phone through the jack
-i've had luck with the SD card connector in the past, but it's sadly been misplaced
-my USB to USB mini cable works to power my ihome speaker
-when the cable is connected to both the ipad and the camera the playback menu on the camera greys out.
-i've gone through the standard connect/reboot/wait thirty seconds troubleshooting with no luck.
sorry for the point form, this is the third time I've posted this question and the website keeps deleting my text. ;)
I am overseas and really want to get my photos onto my ipad for posting. i'm wondering if i'm making a really stupid error, and hoping that I am before I go out and buy a new camera connection for the SD reader, or replace the cable.
Thanks everyone!Thanks for responding so quickly!
Unfortunately I'm overseas so I can't try it out on my computer. (part of what's really frustrating is that I should have tried it out before I left home)
The camera recognizes that it's connected to something, in that the menu greys out whenever it is connected to the ipad, but that's all that I can see so far. -
Hi, I am trying to set up an airport express hub to work with a Star tsp100 receipt printer and IPad 2. The IPad is being used to accept credit card payments and I was hoping to print receipts out wirelessly using the airport express and receipt printer. I checked to make sure the airport express has the latest firmware and it does. The IPad software is also updated to the latest 7.1. I then connected the Airport express and IPad and the network setup with no problems. I connected the receipt printer to the airport express using the USB slot available. While the printer comes up as available, when I attempt to print something, I get the error message "An error occurred printing this document" and I can cancel or Try again. No matter how many times I try, I continue to get this message and I lost as to the cause. When I disconnect and reconnect, another instance of the printer appears, but receive the same cryptic error message when I try to print. Totally lost, please help
Hi kelston3,
In order to print from an iPad you will need to use a printer that is compatible with AirPrint, which is described in the following article -
About AirPrint
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
AirPrint printers must be wireless on your network - not connected via USB to the base station. There is a list of printers that are known to be compatible with AirPrint in the article.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

The other day I tried to open a document on my Pages app on my iPad. I soon notice I could no longer see it anywhere is my documents. I opened my laptop and went to iCloud.com to search for it there. On iCloud.com I am able to see the document but I can not do anything with it. I tried downloading it to my computer as a pdf. file but it just says error and to try again. I was able to copy the document but it does not allow me to download the copied document either. Is there some way I can recover the document or a pervious version of the document?
How are you seeing your document on iCloud from your laptop? Web browser, or OS X Pages open dialog?
If you have MS Word or .pages formatted files parked on iCloud, the web interface will not permit their download as PDF, and in fact, PDF is an inactive option in that download menu for these word processing files. There is no copy facility available, but duplicate functionality exists from the iWork category within the iCloud web presence.
If you have Pages v4.2 or later installed on your (assumption: Mac) laptop, launch Pages and in the open file dialog, select iCloud on the dialog toolbar. Now, press and hold the option key as you drag and drop a copy of our document from iCloud to your desktop. The reverse works also.
See if you can open that document on your laptop now.
