USB Soundcards and the unibodies

hi,
i have a problem with my dj usb soundcard "audio 8 dj".
when i plug in the card, the sound crackles and is distorted.
restarting the macbook resolves the problem, but that is not situation for livegigs or something.
i read into other forums that it is no special problem of that soundcard or sounddriver. other people had the same problem with other usbsoundcards on the macbook alu. the soundcard works fine on every other mbp or mb.
some hardware or driverconfiguration of the new macbooks (alu) must be the problem.
any ideas or updates?

I've never had a Nokia that would connect successfully via cable to a Mac but things have gotten better recently...
Card Readers:
As petrib points out, most memory cards nowadays are recognised by Macs as 'Mass Storage Devices'. This means that no proprietary drivers are needed. Pop the card out of your phone & stick it in one of those card readers. Plug the reader into the mac & it'll show up on your desktop as a drive. This is by far the easiest way to load music onto your phone.
You can pick up tiny, very cheap card readers all over ebay. My reader does say it accepts miniSD but I've found it still needs the card adapter to make the miniSD into a normal size SD to work.
Bluetooth:
Obviously the other godsend for mac-Nokia users has been bluetooth. Great for syncing but slow for music etc. Also all files received are saved to your phone first & then to your card meaning you cant fill your new 2gb miniSD with one drag & drop from your music library
Networking:
Apparently the E61 supports connection to your home wireless net by VPN. Have yet to try this out but sounds neat.

  • HT1414 I just tried to update to IOS 7 but after it completed, my iphone screen shows nothing but a USB cord and the iTunes Logo even when connected. Help Please!

    Today I was updating my phone to the newest IOS 7 and after it finished downloading. An error showed up on my screen telling me it was unable to update. So I decided to just unplug my phone and maybe do it later but on my screen I have a USB cord and the iTunes logo asking me to connect. So I hooked it back up and still at this point my iTunes will not connect and when I unplug the phone the screen stays the same. I have tried turning off the phone and restarting and both times the screen goes back to the connect  screen.. How can I fix this?

    I have tried the steps to fix it but no solution! Please someone tell me what to do!

  • I just bought an ipad and when I tried to update itunes ios and I pluged the ipad into my computer and opened itunes.  It started to install and then said there was an error, now my ipad has a screen the has the usb cable and the itunes logo on the front

    I can't open my ipad now.  It is stuck with the picture of the usb cord and the itunes logo on the front.

    Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

  • I just received my iPad2 today. When I turned it on it only showed a USB cable and the ITunes icon. What does this mean?

    I just received my iPad2 today. When I turned it on it only showed a USB cable and the iTunes icon. What does this mean?

    The first thing that needs to be done with a new iPad is to activate it by connecting it to a computer running iTunes (version 10.2 +).

    You know that you have to connect the iPad to your PC with the cable that came with it -  and then iTunes should start automatically and it will guide you through the set up process?
    If you have already tried to connect the iPad - and you have launched iTunes - and you still have no luck - reboot your PC and then begin the process again.

  • My phone crashed and has an icon showing a usb cable and the itunes emblem. when I connect to itunes it does not recognize my phone and treats it as just iphone. when I try to restore about 9 to 10 minutes into the restore the phone turns off and then on

    My phone crashed and has an icon showing a usb cable and the itunes emblem. when I connect to itunes it does not recognize my phone and treats it as just iphone. when I try to restore about 9 to 10 minutes into the restore the phone turns off and then on and then loses the connection with itunes and at the end of the download it just asks me to restore it again.

    Be prepared to lose everything on your iPhone but it should be backed up in iTunes so you can restore from your backup.

  • M45-S331 no history of issues... 2 right usb ports and the touchpad have stopped working.

    Hi, 
    I'm really starting to give out of things to try to figure this out.  So this laptop was bought, brought home and sat on a little table and has been handled delicately.  I was happy to get it and it's never had an issue.  Like the title says, now the USBs on the right side (single left usb functioning) and the touchpad have just stopped doing anything.  I can't really say for sure exactly what was going on before it started to do that... I'm thinking it was working, I shut it down and maybe a day later I powered it up and noticed it probably as I was trying to log in.  I have: checked connections, board contacts, drivers, reinstalled windows... so I mean at that point there's probably nothing I can do... but all seems fine with the equipment from what I can see looking at it, add in the fact that the two aren't really exactly the same so for them both to go like that is odd... I just want to know what I'm not thinking to do as far as troubleshooting it...  
    I don't know if there's anything else I can provide, but if there is I'll have it... 
    Thanks.

    I'm beginning to think there's not too much more I can check.  I still think it's odd that the 2 usbs and the touchpad go out at the same time.

  • My problem is that one of the USB ports and the device does not detect this and inactive but can not find how to reactivate.Help me please! greetings thanks!

    Do you have the Firefox new tab page but the actual sites are missing, or do you have some other page?
    If you have some different page, try the quick fix in Fred McD's reply.
    If the sites are missing, did you use the Reset feature? That will clear the storage associated with the new tab page. I'm not sure it's possible to recover from that; you probably need to rebuild your page from scratch as you browse.
    For possible future reference, here is how to access the hidden setting for the page to display on new tabs:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
    * ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
    * ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
    * ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
    * ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
    Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
    Some gotchas:
    ''If Firefox won't let you edit this setting:'' you may have something called SearchProtect on your system.
    ''If Firefox lets you save your change but ignores it:'' one of your extensions may be overriding it. You can review, disable, and/or remove extensions on the add-ons page:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > ''in the left column click'' Extensions
    ''If the change works during your session, but at the next startup is back to an unwanted page:'' you might have a user.js file in your personal Firefox settings folder (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and remove the file: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
    Any luck?
