Usb format

How to format the USB flash drive.
It just has an option for Read only in the Permission Mode.
I would like to know how to change the permission, so that I can write the data on it.

If it is read only, it is most likely formatted as NTFS. In order to write to the drive, you need to re-format it using Disk Utility. Format as Mac OS Extended, or FAT32 (for universal compatibility). Note: reformatting will delete all the data on the drive.

RT USB Format suddenly not finding Hard Drive

For a remote desktop RT PC running LabVIEW RT 8.6, I had tested 8 different motherboards in an attempt to get LabVIEW Real-Time
(Pharlap) to recognize an RT desktop’s SATA hard-drive and network card. We had
finally found a single motherboard that allowed LabVIEW Real-time to recognize
and format the SATA hard drive to run pharlap.
Unfortunately, that ASUS motherboard
has been discontinued, so we had to hunt once again for motherboards
that would run correctly with LabVIEW Real-Time. After some effort, we did find
another motherboard which allowed the USB format utility to format the SATA
drive and successfully boot the RT pharlap environment. Upon this success, our
company proceeded to order a large number of these new motherboards in case they
too became discontinued. However, the very same motherboard which operated
correctly 2 weeks ago can no longer see the SATA hard drive through LabVIEW
real-time, even though the BIOS correctly recognizes the hard
drive.
I find it particularly bizarre
because the hard drive does actually boot to LabVIEW Real-time on its own, but
upon booting via the hard drive, Pharlap states “Error booting hard drive
program,” and proceeds to run in safe mode *on the very same hard drive*. Any attempts
to reformat this drive via the 8.5.1 or 8.6 usb utility now result in “Unable to
detect ATA/SATA hard drive” even though the very same usb, hard drive, and
motherboard worked correctly in re-formatting, installing, and running remote VIs 2 weeks ago.
If you could please provide any
insight into this madness, it would be greatly appreciated. For reference, we
had previously used the ASUS P5K motherboard (which is now discontinued) and are
now experiencing our mixed success/failure on the Foxconn G33M motherboard. Both
of these motherboards use the ICH9 chipset that is AHCI and IDE compatibility
capable, which is a requirement for desktop RTs.

I've tried multiple hard drives that were full formatted to FAT16 and FAT32 in Windows XP and got the same result.
During the two week period, the motherboard had been removed from its case and sat on my desk with anti-static covers draped over and under it. I've been trying the motherboard without a case ever since, as that would confound issues further.
To make matters worse, I've been trying new motherboards with the ICH10 and ICH10R southbridge chipsets (AHCI and legacy IDE compatible), and the USB format utility freezes at "Transferring control to user program," so I can't even get to attempting a hard drive format there. I've tried changing the USB settings to Legacy as suggested in the NI literature and even unplugging the hard drives entirely, as the other motherboard still boots to the USB without a hard drive present, and it still hangs at the same place before the utility loads.
I've gone through every possible iteration of BIOS settings (especially the IDE ones) on every motherboard I've tried. Ever since the ICH8 chipset, I've never managed to get an actual PATA (IDE) drive to work either.
Here is a list of motherboards we've tried that didn't work due to either the USB utility hanging or the hard drive not being seen:
Intel DG33BU
TYAN S5220AG2NR
ASUS P5E-VM DO
ASUS P5N-MX
ABIT IP35 Pro
SuperMicro C2SBA
ASUS P5Q
MSI P45 Neo
The ASUS P5K worked but is discontinued, and the Foxconn G33M is the one that worked 2 weeks ago but doesn't now.

Need instructions for usb format tool

I want to make a bootable flash drive and have tried the HP usb format tool and I do not get the results that I have seen on the web. All the program does is format the flash drive.

Hi:
Please see this link and see if it is of help to you.
Ignore the part about updating the microcode.

Usb formatting

I've done a general search on this topic and come up empty handed. Can anyone tell me how to format a 2GB usb drive in FAT16 instead of FAT32. Disc Utility doesn't give me the option but there has to be a way. FAT16 seems to work better on a 1GB drive I also use- up to twicw as fast. When playing video from the 2GB one it, it skips and jutters.

Is there a reason you're using FAT at all?, HFS/HFS+ would be even faster for a Mac!?
2GB is the limit of FAT16 for most systems, but you could format it on XP I guess...

Comment récupérer de données mac sur clé usb formatée en FAT32

Bonjour,
mon soucis est que lorsque j'insère ma clé usb sur mon ordinateur portable mac, le voyant clignote mais un message apparaît disant que la clé est illisible et qu'il faut l'initialiser.
Les données sont importantes, est-il possible de récupérer les données?
Je travaille sur mon mac et j'enregistre les documents en format mac sur ma clé sony qui a été formatée, je crois, en FAT32.
Merci d'avance pour votre aide.
Cordialment,

Bonjour,
merci de votre réponse, mais je souhaite justement accéder à ma clé USB pour récupérer les documents. Si je reformate la clé comme vous le proposez, je les perds. Et c'est justement ce que je cherche à éviter.
J'ai essayé de faire tourner des logiciels de récupération téléchargés gratuitement sur internet comme Testdisk, Wondershare ou applexsoft. Ils détectent la clé mais pas le contenu. Par ailleurs, il n'y a plus de partition sur la clé.
Avez-vous une solution?
Cordialement,

MS DOS format usb format

hi
i have usb flash 32gb usb3.0 'Recently i reformatted on MS DOS format like Usually this last time i used this usb
now i wanna used again 'but showing a (80kb only) i don't know if the problem for the format or usb hardware
i try another pc or mac and the same thing (80kb)

In the interest of finishing this thought, a solution was reached for this problem. I'm posting it here if anyone in the future has a problem with this, and searches the archives...
The friend I was researching this for came upon this solution after taking it to a local Mac dealer:
"You have to select the tab for "partition"
and then it will allow you to format as MS-DOS. In
playing around with Disk Utility, I found that if the
disk itself is selected, you don't see the partition
tab, but if you select the floppy drive itself, then
you not only see the partition tab, but the erase tab
shows the MS-DOS option."

TV firmware requires USB drive formatted FAT or FAT16, but neither of my computers can do that!

I reported my problem with my recently bought 26C100U1 which does not respond to my computer's monitor sleep signal. Since I received no replies to my question, I thought updating the firmware might help, but neither of my computers can format a USB drive with FAT or FAT16. Their only options are FAT32 or exFAT. What am I supposed to do next?!!!
Is anyone at Toshiba watching this forum?!

You misunderstand this forum. This is a peer support forum. We are all just users and other Toshiba owners. While Toshiba USA supplies this space, no Toshiba tech/customer support, or any other personnel view, comment on, or offer advice on this forum.

I do not know what's up with your HP desktop, running Win7 (64-bit). But, on my Win 7 64bit system, if put in a USB flash drive in my system, then click on 'Computer', right click on my USB flash drive, click on 'Format', click on the drop down menu arrow under 'File system', my choices are NTFS, FAT (default), FAT32, exFAT. See the attached image.
But, I have not actually tried to format my drive with FAT. You may have to create a smaller partition because of the size limitations of FAT (really FAT16).
Maximum Partition Size Using FAT16 File System
So, assuming your Win 7-64 offers the same choices, if necessary create a smaller partition, then just pick the 'FAT' and format your USB flash drive with that.
Good luck.

When iPhone 5s is connected via USB no audio is heard

Hi There -
I've seen older threads on this issue but I don't think I've really come across any solutions. My issue started yesterday; now before reading further I have to ask that you please keep in mind that I did perform the latest upgrade on my iPhone a bit earlier in the day.
When I connect my iPhone to my vehicle sync system and announce that I'd like to connect via USB, the voice recognition repeats my request and then the music on my iPhone shows to be playing on the display in my vehicle. The problem is that though the music appears to be playing and the minutes played are being displayed there is no audio coming through. When I switch to the Bluetooth Audio option all sound comes through.
Now, as a 2nd test, we connected my sons iPhone 5s via USB (he has not taken the latest update on his iPhone) and the same issue happens with his. Voice recognition changes to the USB format as requested, music appears to be playing but no audio is heard. When we change his phone to Bluetooth Audio the audio comes through nice and clear.
I'm not entirely convinced the update caused the issue so I wanted to put this out there to see if anyone has run into this and were able to actually resolve the issue.
I know the USB cable is working fine because when I do plug it into either phone the phone makes the little connection sound and pops up a brief battery percentage box. I also know the cable is working because when we announce USB as our audio of choice the system recognize USB via the iPhone.
One other thing I tried looking for was the option on the phone to switch from Docked to Synch - I know on my iPhone 4 I was able to switch back and forth through iTunes and would also have the option if I tried to watch anything via You Tube when connected to the dock; I cannot find this anywhere on the 5s when connected via USB.
Help is greatly appreciated!!!

I have had similar troubles with wifi.. some improvement removing BlackBerry desktop software & drivers & reinstalling after reboot... I used the same installer I had previously, but a fresh downloaded installer couldn't hurt...

Blue Yeti USB microphone not working in ALSA/PulseAudio

Hi all,
I recently bought a Blue Yeti USB microphone. It is supposed to require no drivers for Windows and OS X, and so far, it works well under Windows, but I cannot seem to get it to function on Arch Linux. As fair warning, although I am relatively experienced with Linux, I don't know much about the internals of ALSA/PA --- up until now, it has just "always worked", so this is my first real foray into the area. I've tried for many days, with no success, to get this thing working.
So, let's start off first with my configuration.
I have a few audio devices:
An on-board audio solution that I don't typically use. For testing, I have connected an old, crappy pair of headphones, but normally I keep this disabled. It has one capture device. (Analog stereo [or 5.1/7.1/etc] duplex)
An external DAC that is connected via USB and is output-only. So, no capture devices on that. (Digital/IEC958 output)
The Blue Yeti itself, which is connected via USB and supports output (it has an internal DAC) as well as input. So, one capture device here. (Digital stereo output and analog stereo input???)
The HDMI-out stuff for nvidia, which I never use
Here is the output of "arecord -l":

If the output of "aplay -L" is needed, let me know, but it's not all that different from arecord -L.
Here is my /etc/asound.conf:
defaults.pcm.rate_converter "samplerate_best"
pcm.!default {
type pulse
fallback "sysdefault"
hint {
show on
description "Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)"
ctl.!default {
type pulse
fallback "sysdefault"
# vim:set ft=alsaconf:
I don't remember where the bulk of that came from; maybe it was installed like that or maybe I put it in there. Here is another useful command showing non-commented-out/non-blank lines in the pulseaudio conf:
$ egrep -v '^;|^#|^$' /etc/pulse/*.conf
/etc/pulse/client.conf:autospawn=no
/etc/pulse/daemon.conf:exit-idle-time=0
/etc/pulse/daemon.conf:default-sample-rate = 192000
So, there's not much I've done there. Here's the contents of /proc/asound/cards:

And here's the contents of /proc/asound/modules:

Now, here is the output of "pactl list sources" (the Blue Yeti is last in the list):

Honestly, I think that's about all of the configuration info I can give. Here are some screenshots of pavucontrol, though, in case you are not yet sated: http://imgur.com/a/ngyLl
Now, on to the debugging stuff. First: everything except Blue Yeti recording works. The external DAC works, the on-board audio (both input and output) work, using the DAC in the Blue Yeti to play music/monitor the microphone works (so it works as an output). The only thing that doesn't work is actual recording from the Blue Yeti itself.
When I try to record from the Blue Yeti with parecord -v, I get very strange behavior. Essentially, the "latency" of the microphone measured is exactly the same as the time it has been recording. That is, if it has been recording for 5 sec, then the latency is 5000000 usec. Also, if I try to record something in Audacity, I get no result except for a message box that says "Latency Correction has caused the recorded audio to be hidden before zero. Audacity has brought it back to start at zero." Also, pavucontrol doesn't show an input volume bar for the Blue Yeti, as in the above screenshots, whereas it normally will for microphones that are getting input. The Yeti is not muted, either, so it should be picking up ambient fan noise and such.
Does anyone have any ideas? Is there some configuration error I've made? Typically, this sort of stuff simply works out of the box for me, so I am somewhat stuck on what to do. Could it be a driver-level bug?

I'm not sure what you mean by "mixed with audio in Alsamixer". Can you clarify?
With that said, my problem did mysteriously fix itself after some update (presumably to alsa). Unfortunately, I noticed it in passing one day while I was changing the volume of something in pavucontrol, so I don't remember the exact update that caused it to work. But yes, my current setup does work now: I can listen to audio through my DAC and use the Yeti for recording. However, I have found that use of the Yeti crashes Google Hangouts, although it works perfectly in every other program I've tried.
As documentation, here is my current working setup (it is very similar to the above): in PulseAudio, the DAC is set to be a Digital Stereo (IEC958) output. The Yeti (called an 'Integrated Rate Matching Hub' in pavucontrol) is set to be an Analog Stereo Input. In the input devices section, I have the Yeti's volume set to around 58% (-14.31 dB), which is past the base volume a fair ways but produces decent levels for recording. The DAC's volume is set to 100% (0dB gain, the DAC takes care of the level). In alsamixer, I have the mic level for the Yeti set to 40.
Edit: This is a long-time-later edit, but let me say that when you have multiple USB audio devices, what USB hub and in what order they are connected seems to matter a great deal. If you can't get your Blue Yeti to work, try moving it to a different set of USB ports (controlled by a different controller) on your motherboard. This magically fixes the issue for me.

Clean Install G4 Dual 1 GHz-Not enough Disk Space Error? -SLOW USB copies

HELP puhleeeeze!
This seems to be an issue on various sites with no one being able to figure out what is the cause and a solution. One person stated his problem went away with a fullwipe and clean-reinstall of everything. But this is what I did already.
What is the reason for the "Not Enough Disk Space" error message when both my hard drives have gigs of space available. If I had hair I'd be pulling it out by now! When trying to copy a file to my 2 internal hard drives that have a lot of space available, but only by the USB port?!!
I have a Power Mac G4 Mirrored Door (MDD) Dual 1 GHz with a clean install of 10.5.8 from the Original Mac OS X Leopard DVD. Both internal hard drives are 60GB and 100GB. The hard drives were wiped clean with Disc Utilities and reformatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The Power Mac only has the OS and a few music apps installed. Easily over 30 GB of space left on the the main G4 interal hard drive and about 75 GB on the other internal hard drive.
The error seems to only happen when I connect a USB flash drive to the USB port. I tried to copy a 50MB update to the desktop-"Not Enough Disk Space" error message happened.
I know that the G4 MDD Power Macs only have USB 1.0. Is this a USB 2.0 issue? Another issue is that it has very slow USB speed (dramtically slower than normal USB 1.0 copying of files. And this is only when it is successful. Is it a USB format issue? I know I couldn't get an external USB 2.0 drive to mount on the Power Mac at all. Disc Utilities could see it but it still would not mount. I have a friend who has an older G4 single processor Mac that doesn't experience these issues with its USB 1.0 ports.
Now here's the kicker:
If I put in a CD disc in the DVD/RW drive, it copies with no problems to either hard drive. If I connect to the Power Mac via the ethernet network, files can copy with no problems. But any USB connection - I get a the "Not Enough Disk Space" error message. I know this is an old mac... but it's never been problematic until this latest wipe and update to Leopard 10.5.8.
Is there a solution to this? Any and all help, feedback, comments, thoughts are greatly appreciated in advance!!!

Hello everyone,
Ok, I did the ultimate task. I erased the hard drives, AGAIN. Just to start fresh from scratch. Hard drives were erased. Did a new install of Mac OS 10.5. And all was well. I could copy with no problems. I gave the computer to my friend and all was good for a couple of days and then the issue came back again. He couldn't copy anything to his internal hard drives and we received the "Not enough disk space" error message! I was baffled. A complete hard drive erase 2 times, 2 fresh Mac OS 10.5 installs and it works for a few days and then coping to HD we got the same **** problem again! THEN - I remembered that the PRAM battery was dead on this G4 Mirrored-Door Dual 1GHz PowerMac. I had recommended that he get a new battery, because this computer would always have the incorrect date and time after every restart. So with recalling this, I had him reset the PRAM by holding down the CMD+OPT+P+R keys after a restart (start-up Chime). I had him hold the keys for at least 3 start-up-chimes. Soon as the G4 Power Mac started up everything was fine again. He was able to copy files to his hard drives again with the "Not enough disk space" error message.
So everyone! Try zapping your PRAM (resetting the PRAM) and see if this solves your problem. I told my friend to get a new PRAM battery to replace the old one that is completely dead. I have not heard back from him. I will ask him again if the problem has come back.
If that fails: My only other solution would be to consider that it is possible that Mac OS 10.5 has a conflict or issue with the G4 Processors and maybe it is safer to install Mac OS 10.3 or 10.4. Because this problem only has occured after installing Mac OS 10.5, the highest version of the Mac OS the Dual 1GHz Mirrored-Door G4 can be installed.
Cheers,
B

HT1604 i erased my hfs+ with ubuntu, how can I format it back to hfs+ please help

i erased my hfs+ with ubuntu, how can I format it back to hfs+ because ubuntu rejects the cd or usb formatted to mac os extended journaled and i am in a stalemate position. What can i do?

You're running Ubuntu, and that operating system generally doesn't utilize HFS+.
That you're then asking this question implies you were intending to not do that, or that you were intending to run multiple operating systems within one GPT-partitioned disk.
I'm going to guess you wanted multiple operating systems.
If you had intended to partition your disk and to use various file systems within the partitioning, then the command(s) that were used to partition or repartition your disk were not what was probably intended. (And this presumes that the two systems share compatible boot paths; that's possible with a system that can coexist within Apple's Boot Camp or Ubuntu or another operating system booted as a guest within one of the add-on OS X virtual machine products. I don't know for certain that Ubuntu can coexist.)
To get OS X back onto this same volume, you'll need to figure out if you have a GPT and then what's in your GPT, and whether there's a partition large enough for OS X to exist, or whether you can repartition your GPT disk to allow OS X to be reinstalled or reloaded into the partition. Or you'll need to wipe the whole disk, and replace its contents with a freshly-partitioned disk, and then load a copy of OS X that's been recovered from backup or freshly installed from distribution. Or you'll need to provide another disk, and then partition and load an operating system (either Ubuntu or OS X) onto that as appropriate.
The tools for doing the repartitioning within Ubuntu are best discussed with folks more familiar with that operating system; I'm not sufficiently conversant to suggest tools for that. I'd suggest a forum specific to Ubuntu for that. The tools used to repartition the disks on OS X generally involve the Disk Utility tool, whether booted from DVD (Snow Leopard), from the USB key disk (Lion), from an external OS X disk, or potentially using Target Disk Mode from another OS X system. And the OS X tools for repartitioning are destructive; they generally don't save what's in the existing partitions, if you need to make an existing partition smaller.
The usual sequence (and the one that's easiest to describe) to establish the environment starts by wiping the whole disk, and establishing GPT partitions of the appropirate sizes using Disk Utility or its Ubuntu GPT-aware analog, and then loading the target operating systems into each. Alternatively, you can read the Boot Campe documentation, or review the documentation with the particular virtual machine product that you're going to choose and use on OS X for details of how to manage its guest operating systems.
Without some idea of your end-goal here (and where you're stuck in the current environment), it's hard to provide more specific suggestions.

1TB USB Disk with NTFS

I have AE with FirmWare version -- 7.5.1
and have Toshiba Ext HDD (USB) formatted with NTFS.
This Disk is connected to AEBS and it shows on AirPort Utility "Disk" Tab screen.
However I have NOT been able to see or connect this disk to any of my Windows 7 computer.
I have read lots of old posts saying that NTFS will not work.
Is it still true (with AEBS FirmWare ver: 7.5.1) or am I missing some configuration.
I have tried tweaking "Local Security" etc, but no luck.
Just wanted to re-confirm that, AEBS and NTFS combo will NOT work?

So, is there any way to get a PC to connect wirelessly to a hard drive connected to the USB port of an AEBS or Time Capsule?
The Airport Utility on the PC sees the external hard drive, but I am not able to get the backup software, or Windows XP, to connect to that drive.

Satellite P50-A09M - problems reading USB flash memory sticks

Getting USB sticks as showing up as a empty drive, if you click on it the File Explorer locks up. A reboot fixed it but their are other problems.
I did a System backup on 3 DVD's and seems to run OK, but I thought may be to try a USB2 stick.
Toshiba Brand no good just locked up the Stick had to use the USB stick format utile on my Main W7/32 PC to recover it.
I even tried again with a Sandisk USB3 stick, did the same corrupted the stick having constant problem on reading from USB ports. I tried a 1TB hard drive just locked up the File Explorer, but a reboot was OK..
So have since did a system recovery and then a System backup the USB sticks works no errors, but no software has been loaded..
This is a 5 day old Satellite P50-A09M
I am trying it again with all the Windows updates..

USB Sticks these are 3 good brands
One a Toshiba, the USB 3 Hard drive is a USB 3 Powered Model Imation Apollo M100 Portable Hard Drive
These USB sticks did not show correctly no Size and clicking on the USB Drive, caused the Laptop to lockup, a reboot fixed that problem and the same with the USB3 hard drive.
When I tried to do a system backup it scrambled 2 USB sticks, after a system recovery it worked ok on the same 2 USB sticks.
On my Home made PC yes I am a retired Computer Eng, the 2 scrambled sticks would not format they showed up as being unformatted, I had to use the HP USB format utile to format them.
This PC is about 2 years old running Windows pro 7/32
The Laptop is still have a bit of a problem with a 8GB Lexar USB2 stick the activity Led was flashing all the time seems like the USB port was seeing the stick as being in then out, plugged it in the USB3 port and it was OK.
Been using these USB sticks to transfer data from the Main PC to the laptop.
Sorry for the delay in replying but we have big problems in logging on here in NZ and not just me, I set myself as a new user and it logged me on as my old user, do you have any clues on getting around this as a mate has the same problem.
Thanks.

Your bootable usb drive could not be created

I tried to install windows 10 by using boot camp assistant. i copied window 10 iso to my usb 2 drive . during the usb formatting the error message came.
"your bootable usb drive could not be created"- an error accrued during formatting
How can i solve this & formatting usb
Thanks
Arun

I'm on an earlier version of DU, but highlight the ISO or open it in DU & highlight it, click on the Restore tab, darag the ISO to the Source Box, & the USB drive to the Destination box.
Occasionally you have to rename the .iso to .dmg for it to work.

5. Click “Step2” button and open the USB drive with your computer. Then, copy the files from the USB_files folder and paste them directly to the USB drives main directory. 2 of the files may become hidden and you will not see them on the USB drive. This is okay. Your USB drive is now complete.
Step 3: Boot your PC with the burned CD/DVD or USB disc to reset windows password.
You need to insert the Created CD/DVD or USB drive into the optional drive of the locked computer and reboot it.
Tips: It your computer still boots from hard drive Windows OS, it's necessary for you to change your COMS or BIOS settings to make it boot from CD/DVD or USB drive. If you don’t know how to set it, you may visit the official website: http://www.resetwindowspassword.net or contact the computer manufacture.
The computer boots from CD/DVD or USB drive, then
1 The program will ask for the Windows OS hard drive volume. Enter the ID number of the hard drive volume that Windows is installed.
2 The program has detected all the user names of Windows and asks which user name password is to be removed. Enter the ID number for the User Name.
3 The program asks to confirm weather to remove the password or not. Enter "y" (yes) to confirm your action and "n" (no) to deny the action and hit "Enter".
4 The program asks whether to continue to remove passwords for other accounts. Enter "y" to continue and "n" to finish. Eject your USB from your computer first and press any key to restart the computer from Windows. Now you can log in Windows with an empty password (with no password.), just click “Enter” when you login.
