USB port keeps finding a "new" phone

Hi guys,
I just installed the latest PC Suite (v 6.83.14.1) and installed new firmware on my Nokia N91 (V.2.29.008) and ran into a new problem (why am I not surprised...).
Problem:
When I connect my Nokia N91 with the USB cable, my PC (running XP) discovers the new hardware and I get an USB connected icon in my XP toolbar.
It then _keeps_on_ "discovering new hardware", although I have my N91 connected, meaning that I can't disconnect it through the usual means. I can't even use the Nokia PC Suite to "officially" connect it (using the "Get Connected!" button) since PC Suite freezes when I try.
I can browse my phone using the PC Suite File manager and Music Manager (**bleep**py program that it is...).
As a results, this constant "New USB hardware found" wastes 40-90% of PC CPU resources.
What I have tried>
I've uninstalled the PC suite, made sure I've downloaded the newest PC suite. I've ran the PC suite Cleaner and I've restarted my PC 5-6 times. Still the same problem whenever I connect my Nokia N91.
Any suggestions on what I can try?
Any suggestions are helpful!
ps any idea how I sort my pictures in folders in my phone image gallery? right now it shows all the pictures I have in my phone, despite the fact that the images are transferred in separate folders from my PC -> forever to open the image gallery...

Hi, I have encountered the same problem an solved it as followes: (Sorry, Since I am German, using german Windows XP Home I am not sure, if the translations of the Windows-Menues are correct. But I guess You can get to them if you understand the context)
The Problem is in the "Windows Device Managers Menue(?)". Open it through the "System Control Menue(?)"
I found that under the Menue "Mobile Devices" my Phone "Nokia 6131" was disabled, although the Nokia PC Suite and all related features were working perfectly (except for the Message "New Device foung.." appearing every few seconds).
Click on the right mouse button an select "reactivate". An error message occured saying something like "a problem encountered...." ignore the message an reactivate anyhow. After that the PC and the Phone worked perfectly an the permanent "... found an new device"-message (slowing down the system permanently) disappeared.
So try it out, that's the way I solved it!
Sorry for my English, bye

After ejecting a disk plugged into the USB port using Finder, I am now getting "The disk was not properly ejected" message. This didn't used to happen. How can this be corrected?

After ejecting a disk plugged into the USB port using Finder, I am now getting "The disk was not properly ejected" message. This didn't used to happen. How can this be corrected?

When you right (control) click on the disk and click eject "disk name", do you pull it immeadiatly or wait a few seconds for it to unmount? Try waiting and see if you get the same message. If you do, when the disk is connected go to applications/utilities/disk utility, after opening DU, select the volume in question from the left side bar and try a permissions repair, you may also run verify disk and see if it comes up with any errors (they will be in red)

Canon LBP3300 usb port keeps on changing

Following the guide https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Canon_LBP2900 , I have LBP3300 worked fine.
However I get 2 problems
1. After a some kernel upgrades (which is relatively often in Arch Linux) the port keeps on changing (/dev/usb/lp0, /dev/usb/lp1) which make udev rules did not work properly.
2. "/etc/rc.d/ccpd restart" does not work properly
So I write this scripts /home/share/bin/cannon-lbp3300-starter
#!/bin/bash
## restart the cannon lbp3300 properly
if [ $UID != 0 ]; then
echo "This command should be run as root!"
echo "Example, in /etc/udev/rules.d/85-canon-capt.rules:"
echo 'KERNEL=="lp*", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{idVendor}=="04a9", RUN+="/bin/bash /home/share/bin/cannon-lbp3300-starter"'
echo 'KERNEL=="lp*", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ACTION=="remove", RUN+="/bin/bash /etc/rc.d/ccpd stop"'
exit 1
fi
## find the USB device
USBPORT=$(echo /dev/usb/lp* | head -n 1)
## exit if port not found
if [ x$USBPORT == x ]; then
echo "USB port not found!"
exit 1
fi
## everything looks fine
## name of the printer device (should be correctly setup in cups)
PRTNAME=LBP3300
## set the PATH
PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
## stop the cups
/etc/rc.d/cups stop
## stop the ccpd completely
/etc/rc.d/ccpd stop
killall ccpd
killall -9 ccpd
## start the cups backend again
/etc/rc.d/cups start
## clear printer queue
lprm -PLBP3300 -
## remake the cannon printer
ccpdadmin -x $PRTNAME
rm /var/ccpd/fifo0
mkfifo /var/ccpd/fifo0
chown lp:lp /var/ccpd/fifo0
ccpdadmin -p $PRTNAME -o $USBPORT
## start the ccp backend again
/etc/rc.d/ccpd start
## done. hopely things are really OK now

I also have this problem with my brand new Sony Xperia Z3 Compact :/
- The unit is almost only 2 weeks old, but I have just been in the store where I did buy it, and have now being told that it is being sent to Sony to get fixed. So hopefully then I get it back, I don't see this problem anymore
I do however think, that Sony should try to look into this problem, so no customers will get a faillure in their devices anymore, as being described. I have just been unlucky in this accidentally problem. Besides that, I'am very happy for this top modern Android phone from Sony. Keep up the good work Sony!

USB Port keeps crashing my portable storage devices

Ok no matter if it's an external hard drive or a usb flash drive, while transferring data my usb port will just die. The Device Removal window will pop up. If it's my flash drive then the light will keep flashing repeatedly. For the external portable hard drive i just keep hearing the disk start and stop spinning simultaneously. Anyone know how I would go about fixing this problem?
Thanks,
Dak

Hi Dave, not long winded at all.
I think you'vve narrowed it down to the OS & Install.
Does the Retrospect Installer have an uninstaller?
Might try AppDelete...
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/appdelete.html
Even if you have to Install Retrospect again to be sure of finding it's files.
What Format is the External?
Also, WD MyBooks are not a good choice for PPC Macs...

USB ports stopped working on new MBP

I have a Retina MBP, 2.6 ghz (OS 10.8.5) and a 2 TB Seagate GoFlex external drive (maybe 2 years old) which I use occasionally for big video projects. The Seagate will often eject itself if it is not active for a period of time and I get the message that the drive was improperly disconnected. I've tried setting the preferences to keep it from going to sleep but that hasn't helped. Then last night I set it up to transfer 40 gig of data from another drive connected via Thunderbolt. In the morning I found the usual improperly disconnected message but when I went to reconnect, I could not get the drive to mount. (The thunderbold drive was still mounted.) I tried both USB ports and then tried turning the power off and then on. The drive started making clicking sounds and would not mount. I feared major drive failure, even though this drive has only been used a couple times per month at best. But then I discovered that nothing would mount through the USB ports. So I rebooted and now everything works as it should and the Seagate drive mounts just fine. So which of the following is likely true?
A. The drive is failing and caused the USB ports to go wacky.
B. The USB ports are failing and cause the drive to go wacky. (I haven't noticed a problem with any other drive connected with USB.)
C. This was a software quirk of some kind and I shouldn't worry.
Will try again tonight to see if it happens again.

You have 14 days to return the computer w/no questions asked. Plus you have 90 days of FREE phone tech support on top of your standard 1 year warranty unless you also purchased AppleCare which gives you an additional 2 years of coverage plus FREE phone support.
Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out. Let Apple deal w/the problems.

USB port keeps shocking me!

Ok, wondering if anyone has this issue, and has found a solution.
From time to time when I plug a usb or firewire cable into the front ports of the computer, I get shocked. Then none of my front or rear ports work. Which means I have to hold down the power switch to shut off the computer because my keyboard and mouse don't work, then I restart and the problem is gone. This has happened about 10 times now over the past 2 months.
At first I thought it was an issue with the firewire cable I was plugging in for my video camera, then I thought is was maybe me and static or something...but now it's happening with different usb cables.
Any advice, or solutions out there?

I am using a serge protector, but none of my wall outlets are 3 pronged.
I have a 2 prong adapter that is grounded with a screw. (like this, http://base0.googlehosted.com/basemedia?q=http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41KO2OkFTnL._SL500_AA300.jpg&size=19&dhm=714138a5&hl=en)
I'm in the US, and I'm guessing the wiring is around 50 years old.

Split x2 problem with USB ports not working

My computer is somewhat new and this problem has been happening since I first got it. I couldn't find anything about this problem here or elsewhere online.
When I plug anything into either USB port (I've tried my phone and an external harddrive) the computer like sort of recognizes it on and off. When I plug in my phone the computer beeps at random every several seconds and doesn't recognize it. The external hard drive was sort of recognized but only on and off and I couldn't move things from it to my computer because it wouldn't stay connected long enough. It's literally like every 2-3 seconds it recognizes the USB thing, changes it's mind and then recognizes it again, etc. forever.
I haven't had a chance to test the SD card slot or the HDMI port yet.
Sometimes the mouse freezes also, I'm not sure if this is the same problem (related to connection between the tablet and the keyboard parts) or if these are separate problems. It seems to be happening less often and goes away if I wait for a moment. Still annoying but the USB ports not functioning is a more urgent issue.
I need help, is there a way to fix this or is something faulty with my computer?

Making Your USB port Work For You

I'm thrilled we now have a new board to get our customers’ feedback! My name is Alysia Eve and I am the Worldwide Product Portfolio Marketing Manager for ThinkPad. Our team is responsible for developing, building and launching new ThinkPad products. As we look to the future we want YOUR feedback to help shape our products and features. Our goal is to develop products that not only meet your needs but you love owning and using.
For our first post, we are looking for input and thoughts about our Always-On USB feature. The Always-On USB feature is indicated on the system by a USB symbol with a power plug next to it. The Always-On USB port allows users to charge external devices even when your computer is in sleep or hibernation mode.
We would appreciate your input on the following questions:
Do you know one of the USB ports can charge your cell phone even when the PC is turned off?
Do you know from 2013, ThinkPad’s have a rapid charge feature on one of the USB port to more quickly charge your cell phone?
Does the battery icon next to the USB port sufficiently indicate that you can rapidly charge your phone?
Do you find this feature valuable?
Would you use this instead of your cell phone charger on a trip?
We really appreciate your thoughts!

Hello,
In response to your questions:
Q1: Do you know one of the USB ports can charge your cell phone even when the PC is turned off?
A1: Yes, assuming it is enabled in the BIOS/UEFI firmware.
Q2: Do you know from 2013, ThinkPad’s have a rapid charge feature on one of the USB port to more quickly charge your cell phone?
A2: Yes, assuming it works with the various devices I carry, all of which have different, incompatible high-current charging modes.
Q3: Does the battery icon next to the USB port sufficiently indicate that you can rapidly charge your phone?
A3: I've rarely needed to use it, since I carry a small external USB charger with me (4.2 amp 2×USB charger, international voltage compatible).
Q4: Do you find this feature valuable?
A4: I've used it on occasion, but it doesn't offer a much additional functionality beyond what I already carry with me.
Q5: Would you use this instead of your cell phone charger on a trip?
A5: No, I never travel without an external USB cell phone charger. It is more convenient to use an external USB charger and put it away when finished than it is to take out my entire notebook and have it charge a single device at a rate more slowly than the portable charger does.
Comments:
I typically travel with two smartphones, a 4G wireless hotspot, a tablet, an ebook reader and a Bluetooth headset, all of which charge via micro USB jacks.

IPhone 5s is not charging in my car USB port.

Hi everyone, I am new to posting here in the apple support community so please forgive me.
Last weekend I recently just purchased the iPhone 5s - my first iPhone (I have previously owned iPods, iTouch and the Macbook Pro; so I am familiar with Apple products). My car (Hyundai Accent 2012) has a USB port near the cigarette charging port, along with an aux cable port. My previous android phones were able to be charged using the appropriate cord through the USB port, as well as my iPods and iTouch. However, when I attempt to use the USB port, to charge my new iPhone 5s, it wont charge whatsoever. The lightning bolt, on the iPhone, will flicker and then finally I will get a pop up stating that the charging device is not supported by Apple. Is there any way that I can change this in my phone settings? Because, the car USB port has worked for other devices and iPods in the past. I have even used the same cord that came with the iPhone and it still does not work. So, I know it's not a cord issue.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Thank you!

It's not working with my Hyundai either. Apple did something with the USB port when they came out with IOS7. It worked fine with IOS6. Now you have to sync your phone in the car using Bluetooth and the sound quality is horrible. They need to fix this!

HP DV6c63sl USB ports problem, (Unknown Device)..

Hello,
I have a problem with my USB ports, when I connect my phone with it's USB cable, it's shown as "Unknow Device" and that's just in my laptop.. My other laptop and Desktop PC can detect it without any problem or drivers, and I have the same exact OS ( Windows 7 x64 Ultimate ) on my 3 PCs.
I have the same problem with a Game Controller (PowerPad), it works on all the PCs I've tried it on except my HP DV6c63sl. There's just my USB Mouse that works fine, and almost all other USB devices that I've tried are detected as "Unknow Device", And I've got also a "SM Bus Controller" shown in the "Device Manager window" -when I plug in my USB Game Controller- as undetected, I don't know what it is..
Here's some screens that I think they would help to identify my problem :
& Thank you very much for your help !
I really wants my Laptop to detect all the USB devices like my others PCs ( I'm talking about USB mouses, keyboards, game pads, phones with USB cables.. that get detected automatically without installing any drivers )

Hello Huntrz,
I understand you are having issues with your Windows 7 not recognising a USB device when it is plugged in. I stumbled across a thread on social.technet.microsoft.com titled USB Device Not Recognized on Windows 7 - USB mouse where they discuss a solution that resolved their issue. Now I know your mouse works, but the point is that a USB device should automatically install that is the whole purpose or USB on a computer devices are to be plug and play. Anyways, what they discuss is that what is called a Hard Reset resolved their issue. I am providing you with an HP Support document: Performing a Hard Reset or Forced Reset that will walk you through the steps to performing a Hard Reset on your Notebook.
Please re-post with the results as I am curious as well. Thank you for posting this issue on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!
Also be sure to mark my post as “Accept as Solution" if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others who face the same challenge find the same solution.
