USB problems - Mini Mac

I have a mini mac 2011, running latest Mavericks. When I plug in some usb sticks (i-flash drive - currently) dosn't show up in Finder. However when I remove the drive the system imeadiatly reminds me I haven't ejected safely - so it must know its there - Help!

Do you have "External disks" checked in the Finder Preferences....?

Asha 501 and USB problems with MAC OSX 10.9

I checked everywhere and I could not find any threads about this problem, so I'm asking here, in the official support forum.
The problem is:
Connecting the Nokia Asha 501 to the mac (via USB cable), and selecting "external memory", the memory card is mounted and I can browse the contents, BUT the photos show corrupted. I even lost some, because I tried to open them in the Preview app on the mac. (take a look at the attached photo of this post, a screenshot clearly showing corruption)
Importing the photos via Bluethoot works, and the photo on the phone are showing fine. The memory card is okay, I checked with an external card reader.
Also:
- This problem does not show with Windows 7/8
- This problem does show with other Mac OS X
The phone is updated, I flashed it with the Nokia Software Updater and I formatted the memory card.
Any help?

I have the same problem. Would be great to have a solution. I have some photos on the phone I'd like to use and keep, but at the moment they are stuck on the phone.

Soundblaster XFI surround 5.1 usb problem in Mac OS Lion.

It worked perfectly in snow leopard, but in Lion 2 of my right side speakers are not working. Even using the MIDI Utilities software the right side speaker can't detect correctly. What is the solution? I can't enjoy surround songs using my card and speaker

Check the Via site if you don't trust me (and the Terratec one).
SAP does NOT require HDMI. You are talking about apples and oranges here, you don't even know what SAP is. Please, let knowledgeable people post instead of trying to sound smart when you know nothing.
EDIT: Oh, and not to mention... even if those are "motherboard codecs", as you say... they are still SAP certified by Cyberlink and can output full HD sound without downsampling, and they do NOT require an HDMI output. So now maybe you will let people who know what they are talking about post instead of posting your ignorant nonsense.
Haha, he gets mad when he gets schooled.
Don't get angry at me, it's not my fault if you don't know the difference between onboard audio and a sound card.
It's PAP (protected audio path), not SAP. SAP is secondary audio programming, something entirely different.
PAP doesn't require HDMI, but I've yet to see a sound card that supports PAP but doesn't feature an HDMI output (so my point about needing a sound card with HDMI still stands). If you had read my earlier edit of post #2 you would see that I've already addressed the motherboard/HDMI issue.
List these sound cards you speak of, I still don't see any specific models listed.

Mac mini core2 duo 10.7.2 not seeing files on usb external drives - mac formatted - ownership ignored- until finder refresh - any idea

finder has problems showing folders& files on external drives on mac mini with 10.7.2
this is affecting 2 external usb drives both mac formatted - ownership ignored
i click on the drive and see nothing
a refresh of the finder window will make the files appear
if i click on a disclosure arrow, the arrow turns down but no files are displayed
if i double click on the folder it opens that folder in an empty view - a refresh will bring the files visible
interestingly if i eject the drive and plug back it , it will usually display the contents of folders already visited last time but not folders i hadn't looked at - they require a refresh
programs such as iTunes can link to those files when they are not visible in finder
anyone else run into this - any suggestions
oh and drives seem to be working fine on my macbook pro with 10.7.3
cheers folks
Simon

John -I'm pretty sure it the mac mini thats having the issue
the two drives - each with their own cable - seem to work perfectly with my other mac
the mac mini is having no problem reading the files itunes and other programs access the files on the drives without a problem
its just the finder is not displaying the files without a refresh of the view
but thanks anyway

Garmin USB not recognised on mini mac

My garmin usb device won't register on mini mac i7 on latest OS.....help!

Note sure if this will help, but read my experience below.
I got a MBP Retina and had the same issue, the USB ports work with everything connected to it so far apart from the Gamrin 276C. Went the route of bootcamp and Win7, which had no problems connecting to the 276C.
I then uploaded the latest drivers from Garmin for OSX (I'm on 10.8.2) with no luck.
Eventually I figured why not try an USB hub to step down to USB 2 with the hub. Got a cheapie USB 2 hub that I plugged into the MBP, then connected the 276C to it. Worked great and have not had any issues with it since.
So it seems the USB3 ports on the new Macs and OSX may not play nice with some older USB equipment out there. If that is the case try a USB 2 hub and see, may save you a lot of time and frustration.

Problem waking mac mini

I have BT mouse and keyboard.
I set my Mac Mini to sleep after 1 hour.
When it sleeps I can't get it back up...I end up having to use the power button to reboot.
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.1)

I have the same problem on my G5 mini, and keyboard and mouse are USB. System goes to sleep and doesn't wake up on mouse movement or keyboard activity. If I pulse the power switch, the system "wakes up" but the mouse is frozen and I have to do a hard reboot. Mouse is plugged into my Apple HD display, whch is amongst other things, plugged into a USB port on the mini itself.
Anyone have any ideas?

Your advice did not help me. I also installed 10.7.4 combo but the situation is the same.
my internet connection is ok, mail is ok, but app store after 3 resets does not recognize my ID and it says "connection is not possible". Why? I have the same problem in both my mac mini late 2009 and mac book air 2010? Is it a problem of 10.7.4 update? I have to solve this problem and how can i return to 10.7.3 if my last backup was not with 10.7.3???thank you for your kind collaboration...

TS4088 why is there a limit on 3 years? it should be all the MacBook Pro mid 2010 with symptoms, there should get their logic board changed for free, mine mac is 3 month late and i had this problem for over a year, but i first saw this article today :(

Hey Clintonfrombirmingham
I called Apple technical support in Denmark, but with no positive reply.
She couldn't do anything, and said that They had sent a recall Email about the problem and with their offer to repair the Macbook Pro, but I'd never recieved an Email about the problem. She wasn't in power to make an exception. It can't be true that i paid a lot of money, for a product that can't barely stand on its own feets, Apple didn't tell me that the product I was about to buy, would restart every 5 minute. and now when they know the problem, they wont repair it? it just don't make sense for me. If a car seller discovers that all the brakes in a car he had sold, will crash after some years he will call all the cars back to repair no mater what. i just don't understand how Apple will make good service for their custumers, by extending the warranty from 2 to 3 years, but wont take the computers there is a little bit to old, 4 months will make the difference. i can't believe it.
What can i do now?
best regards Oskar

Problem with Mac Mini and Panasonic PT-AE700 projector

I just bought a brand new Mac Mini and intended to connect it through hdmi to my Panasonic PT-AE700 projector (with a 10 m hdmi-hdmi cable and a dvi-hdmi adapter). However there is no signal recognized by the projector.
Any suggestions? I have tried with two different dvi-hdmi adapters between the Mini and the cable. Both work fine with my MacBook Pro, but with the Mini there is no signal.
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Thanks again BSteely for your answer.
Unfortunately I still haven't been able to get anything out from the projector through HDMI.
However, I've found someone with a similar problem. It seems the problem is the lenght of the HDMI cable (which in fact is closer to 15 m than 10 m). HDMI is designed to handle at least those 10-15 m runs, but the problem seems to be DVI, which is only capable of something around 5 m. Since I'm converting from DVI to HDMI, I'm subject to DVI's limitations. And the MBP seems to have better capability of handling the weaked signal than the Mini.

Gefen should have an amplifier (HDMI Super Booster) that could solve the problem. I just ordered it to see if it could help in strenghtening the signal and solve the problem for me.

Just started up my Mac Mini out of the box, using a USB windows keyboard, it will not recognize letters so I am unable to enter serial number. Anything I can do to get the mini mac right out of the box to recognize the windows keyboard?

Just started up my Mac Mini out of the box, using a USB windows keyboard, it will not recognize letters so I am unable to enter serial number. Anything I can do to get the mini mac right out of the box to recognize the windows keyboard? Do I have to buy an Apple Keyboard to get it to work right out of the box?

Is this a normal USB keyboard or is there anything specialized about it? Does this keyboard require you to install any special software to use it on a Windows box? Or is it usually a plug & play keyboard?
Normally if a Mac does not recognize a keyboard it asks you to press certain keys to identify the keyboard. What is happening on screen with this keyboard? What serial number are you referring to?

MAC PRO USB Problem - Traced to bad Apple Keyboard Extension Cable

I found a fix to a problem synching to my itunes Library on my early 2008 MAC PRO. The Apple supplied USB extension cable for the keyboard was defective.
The symptoms were hangs in itunes and finder synching to iPods and transferring data to USB hard drives. The iPods and hard drives never lost power and no errors/log entries were made. The transfers simply stalled and would not continue. itunes and finder would hang until the drive or ipod was removed. These devices were installed directly to USB ports on the MAC PRO. No other USB devices were connected except for the aluminum keyboard and mighty mouse; the mouse was connected to the keyboard. The keyboard was connected using the USB extension cable that shipped with the MAC PRO.
Hardware diagnostics were all clear. The keyboard and mouse never had any connection problems. Only itunes syncs and hard drive copies would fail; these would occur at random times. I had an open ticket with Apple to have the logic board replaced as it was diagnosed to be a hardware/USB problem.
Removal or replacement of the extension cable on the keyboard (which was connected to a different USB port and NOT in the USB chain with the ipod and hard drives) permanently fixed the problem. I cancelled the Apple HW replacement.
I have noted several posts with others having problems with USB ports and devices. I wonder if Apple has an unknown problem with bad keyboard extension cables.

I think you may be onto something there. I'm just a few weeks into my second Mac Pro and again it's having the same USB problems which led Apple to give me a replacement machine previously. I went through several weeks of considerable testing with Apple Engineers prior to that - an Apple Care application to collect data from my machine, Apple Developer USB prober and two clean installs. The latest machine initially showed no sign of the problem then it started again - 2 iPods "can not be read or written to" part way through sync, Aperture quitting importing from USB SD card reader, USB drives dismounting etc. So I pulled out the Aluminium keyboard and, lo and behold, the iPods managed to get all the way through synching without errors. I really like the alu keyboard so it's a huge shame that it might be the cause of all my problems so far - and the Mac Pro is otherwise a beautiful computer.
But is this really a hardware problem of the internal USB cards and power management or supply?

Hi Gerard,
Are you certain there's no traces of MacKeeper left?
I have no idea how they can get away with advertising MacKeeper at all.
You really really need to uninstall it, but maybe not using their uninstaller.
Klaus1's great post on MacKeeper...

Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Reboot & see if Flash Installer works.

When I connect my iPad with usb to my mac the iPad gives me a "blinking" message asking to trust the computer. Problem is it does not give me enough time to select yes. What am I doing wrong? Help!

Everything that you sync to the iPad is done through iTunes or from downloading from the cloud if they are iTunes purchases or through iTunes Match, if subscribed.
It is also not possible to transfer music or certain other files though Bluetooth between other iPhones or Android devices. You can transfer between iOS devices, pictures through devices that are Airdrop capable.

my mini mac recognizes my usb mic, but premier pro does not list it under preferences?

Hi Robert,
This has to do with Audio MIDI setup. See this article: https://multimedia.nscad.ns.ca/pdfs/Setting%20up%20a%20USB%20Microphone%20for%20Premiere%2 0CS6.pdf
I hope it helps!
Thanks,
