USB Tethering; Camera to Xoom Tablet

I have tethered my Xoom to my digital camera via a female to female usb connector. USB tethering is still grayed out in my settings. Anyone know how to get this to work so I can xfer pictures from my digital camera to my Xoom tablet?

Since posting my original question I've found out from Motorola support how to change the setting for PTP, this however still did not allow me to see the photos on my digital camera and copy them to the Xoom tablet. Now I'm waiting for a call back from Nikon the maker of the camera to see if it supports PTP. I suspect it does not, which would suck.

Prevent MTP & USB tethering

The security team of a customer is in the midst of testing Windows 7 security features and came up with the following queries.
While conducting some tests on desktops using Windows 7, our internal audit department observed that it is possible to transfer data from a Windows 7 desktop to
an android device using Media Transfer Protocol even if the USB port is blocked through AD Group policies. Similarly it is also possible to perform this operation on windows XP desktops if media player v 10 is installed on them. They
also observed that if a phone is connected to a Windows 7 desktop, USB tethering allows the user to bypass the proxy and access internet unrestricted.
I wanted to check with you if these are known issues on OS 7 and whether there are any solutions available to prevent them through AD policies on Windows 7 OS?
Would appreciate any help in this regards.

Hello there,
this security issue also got to our attention.
2008 AD, USB blocked via GPO, working fine for Mass Storage and so on.
If you have a regular user without local admin rights an he connects his Samsung S2 / S3 / Ace whatever nothing happens.
But when he activates USB Tethering in Settings on his Phone, the Windows Client creates a new NDIS based Internet Sharing Device.
After some Secondes he can bypass the Proxy (pac/squid) with the Internet Explorer, former blocked sites like facebook now work fine...
He can also access Documents from his network shares ...
If there is no iTunes on the Client USB Tethering will not Work with iPhones because they use ODI instead of NDIS.
As far as i can see the NDIS internet sharing device has no extra class id wich i could block via GPO.
I ve overwatched the process some times on different Clients with Mark Russonovichs Sysinternals Tools.
You can see new Sockets and connections to 1.1.1.1- 1.1.1.5 UMTS Provider and WUDFHOST.exe pops up.
We are using PKI-Card Readers, Scanners and some local Printers. Also there are some special users who are not in the restricted USB group to move large CAD Files from CAD-Client to CAD Client.
Even 3rd Party Software couldnt block the USB Tethering...
Do you have a solution via GPO to block USB Tethering / the driver initialisation / a Class ID ?

Is USB Tethering possible with the iPad.

Since wireless Tethering isn't secure, I was considering USB Tethering which is. However, is that possible with the iPad?

Hi
You can share your tablets mobile data connection with other devices via USB, Bluetooth or by turning your table into portable Wifi hotspot.
Note; this function is only supported by 3G models.
In option Wireless & Networks you can configure and manage this setting
You can tap More to find out the hidden options.
The option Tethering & portable hotspot settings would provide the possibility (USB tehthering) to share the data connection.

How do I use a usb web cam with MacBook Pro

How do I use a web camera with a MacBook Pro? I want to run it through my laptop so I can project it on a screen for teaching a class.

Can I record directly into iMovie with a usb web cam instead of iSight?
You can try it, but probably not.
This Apple article http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2134 explains that a Firewire-connected, tape-based camera or camcorder mode will work.
If you don't have access to one that works, a simple workaround is to record your video with QuickTimeX Player (the v.10.x one from Lion). You can import that recorded video into iMovie for editing.
If your Mac OS is earlier than Lion whose QuickTime does not offer movie recording as installed, use QuickTime7 Pro for recording.

How do I get aperture to automatically insert a .png overlay onto incoming photos from a tethered camera and constantly view the incoming photos in full-screen without retreating back into gallery?

As per the discussion title, I would like to be able to shoot with a tethered camera that will input images and display right away on my Mac on full screen, with each incoming photo display as such without ever going back to gallery view, and in each instance a .png graphics template is automatically overlayed on each photo that enters aperture such that when I print every photo the graphic template will appear on print.
Is aperture able to do this on its on? If so, how?
If not, is Apple script the only way to make this possible?

Would it then be possible to direct aperture tethered shoots to a folder where aperture will hot import, from which I can use action after import via the scrip as you mention?
I've seen it being done with my own eyes but I wasn't able to inquire more...

Need suggestion for small USB/FW camera for chat

I have an old (Tiger, PPC) laptop. My wife has an old (Panther, PPC) mini. I'm going on a trip and want to use Skype or iChat to be able to see the kids when we talk. Can someone suggest a camera USB/firewire camera which would be good for this purpose? I don't need too many fancy features but it would be nice if it weren't big and heavy (since I'll be traveling with mine). If it's on a flexible stick or mounts to the top of the monitor/laptop screen, that would be great. I see a bunch on Amazon but it's not clear which work with Panther/Tiger, which have Mac drivers, etc. Thank you!
Mike

Hi,
Yes and no (Again)
Any Camera is going to have to suit your Mac and it's input ports.
iUSBCam Utility only works for iChat.
It was originally designed to get the External iSight working on G3 computer less that 600Mghz.
Very quickly they added in the USB 1.1 camera option (At a push you could get a USB 1.1 camera to work n a G3/450Mghz processor as well)
It only works for iChat though. Or rather it is need for iChat as it manipulates the video from the camera into something iChat will accept.
I am not that sure if the current version of Skype will work with an older Camera.
If it does it will still need a Mac Driver for it if you only have USB 1.1 port on your computer.
There are two main Third Party Drivers out there for this (If the camera Manufacturer does not supply a Mac Driver)
Macam
and IOXperts
The IOXperts site does list a Firewire Driver for earlier OS versions (As it was not included originally) the OS has Firewire driver form about OS 10.2
They also state on their Site some restriction and workaround are needed for certain apps.
Summary.
The same info about camera types and Drivers still applies in the broadest sense.
You will not need the iSUBCam thing for Skype.
However I have not used Skype in some while and don't know if they still support USB 1.1 cameras.
NOTES
In theory as Skype does not produce such good a Video Pic as iChat it uses less processor power to create the Video stream.
However strangely this can have positive effects in lower Spec Machines as they can then produce a coherent Stream rather than something that breaks up due to their Processor not keeping up.
You seem to mention that you have Laptop running Tiger and the specs suggest this is a G4
What is the Mac Mini's processor.
Panther itself is not the limiting factor.
It is Input ports and availability of cameras to suit that.
Any G4 processor is going to let you have one to one chats - subject to the Internet Access at each end (Hotels can be a nightmare).
For the points

In LR5, the slideshow does not update with new photos taken by a tethered camera

Hi Everyone,
I'm just trying out LR5 and have found a problem - I've watched vidoes where in LR4 you can setup a slideshow to play from a folder, and while the slideshow is playing you can take new photos from a tethered camera and it will automatically add it to the slideshow.
In LR5, on my computer (Mac), the incoming photo seems to get stuck and does not make it into the slideshow. I have to stop the slideshow, and restart it to see the new incoming photo taken by tethered camera. I need this function for an event, so I'm just wondering whether I'm doing something wrong, or whether it is a bug in LR5?
Note: I've selected the mode "Use: All Filmstrip Photos". What I've observed is that while playing the slideshow without going fuill screen, a newly taken photo from the tethered camera appears as a white tile, but then the thumbnail contents do not change. When I stop the slideshow, the photo then gets "Developed" and then it will be in the slideshow the next time I play it.
Thanks,
Jason

I have an update - I downloaded LR4 and what I wanted to do above works!
So I think there is a bug with LR5.
I'm new to Lightroom - this would be a barrier to me buying LR5. Might have to buy LR4 beforehand...

Built in Video Camera or USB Video Camera Have Stopped Working

Both the built in video camera as well as the USB plug camera have both stopped working and I cannot figure out why. Of course I am a computer illiterate so that doesn't help.

Data network locked down when usb tethering with a lot of request (i.e. 3 to 4 tab pages and IRC)

Hi, i am currently using the usb tethering on my ubuntu desktop(this also happened in win8 desktop) which the data network will be locked down when open 3 to 4 tab pages in 3-4 seconds or requesting large amount of data traffic (i.e. downloading movie)
This locked down will be recovered only after a few minutes (4 minutes at least) when there is no more request maked.
OR reboot the phone again.
This doesn't affect receiving calls, only the data network is locked down
I do see this is a software problem as i have asked for a exchange for phone, the same thing happened again.
Does anyone get the same problem as i experienced?
The firmware is v.114
Thanks for help

Hi z1CUser
based on your information, i believe there is not problem with the phone, since even second phone is doing same thing as first, what I can suggest is
>check with different phone if possible and see whether it does same, incase 'Yes" then its might be with the internet connection i believe, you can give a call to Internet Service Provider, stating the issue faced in 2 different phones
>if possible Refresh the Router and try to connect it again
>Last you can try to restore the phone once

How to use iPhone USB tethering / Personal Hotspot without iTunes

I have a corporate laptop so didn't want to install the whole of iTunes to enable USB tethering / Personal Hotspot.
Here's how you can enable USB tethering / Personal Hotspot without installing iTunes.
1. Download iTunes from https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
2. Extract the contents of the downloaded file using winRAR or 7zip. In particular you want the following files:
For 32 bit systems:
- AppleApplicationSupport.msi
- AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi
For 64 bit systems:
- AppleApplicationSupport64.msi
- AppleMobileDeviceSupport6464.msi
Note: If you don't have either winRAR or 7zip you can do the following instead:
Start the iTunes installation, then on reaching the first screen, the required files will be extracted to your machine, perform a search for one of the files above on your C drive whilst the iTunes installation window is open, it should find them in a temp folder somewhere, you can then copy and paste them somewhere and close the iTunes installation.
3. Before continuing, ensure your iphone is not connected to the computer. Then, install AppleApplicationSupport.msi (or AppleApplicationSupport64.msi for 64 bit machine)
4. Install AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDevice6464.msi)
5. Restart your computer
6. After your computer has restarted, enable Personal Hotspot on your iPhone (select USB only option) and plug in your iPhone using the USB cable. Some device drivers will install and then your computer should automatically connect to the iPhone internet connection.

Hi kveille,
Using the personal hotspot can become tricky as there are three different options available. Based on your details, it sounds like you've been trying the option to connect using WiFi on your computer and iPad. We have the steps needed for iOS 6 to activate and use WiFi so I encourage to use these exact steps to get it to work http://bit.ly/SFLD2b. You will need to check that the MacBook Pro is setup to pick up the network the right way. Check by following http://bit.ly/PJkOWZ. Step 9 demonstrates how to find the network name that you can look for on your computer. Try these steps and keep us posted to the status of the connection.
Thank you,

Why is my USB tethering hanging?

USB tethering with my iPhone 4S has been working fine until recently but its started to hang on pages every so often (When tethered to my Mac via USB), or refuse to load them at all. But when I go on my phone to try and load the page, it loads instantly.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Anyone have any idea?

Mightex camera not identified by max or Imaq usb enumerate camera vi

Hi all,
I am using Mightex S-Series Ultra-Compact USB2.0 camera, I am finding it difficult to identify the camera in MAX or with IMAQ usb enumerate camera vi, I do have loaded the drivers but still couldnt get the camera working , please let me know if there is anything else I need to upload.
Thanks,
Ankit Gupta

Hi AnkitG,
Sorry to hear that you are having problems with your camera. We have recently seen several other instances of Mightex's cameras causing issues when trying to interface with it through IMAQdx, and have been in touch with Mightex regarding these issues. We suspect that the issues all come from differences in the way NI and Mightex handle DirectShow compliance. I'll make sure to communicate this issue to them as well, and I'll let you know what we find.

Tethered Camera Support for Nikon D3200

I need to shoot in tethered capture mode and have found that my D90 in not fully supported in this mode. A D7000 is fully supported, but will cost somewhat more than I had hoped to spend. The new D3200 would be an excellent match for our needs (dental photography). My question: Does anyone know if this camera is supported in tethered capture and if not, does Adobe plan on adding it as a compatible camera anytime soon?
Thanks,
J S Mott

Doubtless Adobe knows, but this is a user to user forum, so I wouldn't hold your breath for anything formal from Adobe here except "eventually". Maybe.
