USB X MS Sidewinder = Nightmare, Help!

Hi Folks!
I`m really havin` the worst days of my life since I upgraded my CPU.
I have the following config:
MSI k7n2 Delta L (Nvidia Based)
Athlon XP 2400
MSI Geforce ti4800se running agp 8x
512 Mem DDR
Atx Power Supply 450w
Installing my computer I noticed that MSI k7n2 doesn`t have a traditional joystick gameport..then I bought an USB MS Sidewinder Precision 2. When I play MS Flight Simulator 2002 after 3 or 5 minutes of play my computer freezes. It stops! Only reset can solve. I don`t know what to do and for this reason I`m here askin` and advice or a help. I`m very sad `cause I changed my computer for this game, I bought a new joystick for this game and it`s not working properly as it should work.
I called Microsoft and they advised me to contact MSI, the system locks only when the joystick is connected, when I remove it I can leave the simulator running all they long without freezing. I changed the joystick but the problem persists. Curious isn`t it? But I spent to much and play a flight simulator without a joystick is terrible.
I read some other posts with 3d games... it`s the same problem.. the difference is that when I connect the joystick I can explore more angles...and use more the cpu resources... Oh I don`t know. Why I didn`t bought an asus board!
Please Help me as soon as possible if you have a solution.
Just for info... I have the latest Directx available and latest drivers for my video card fro MSI and I`m up to date with my bios version.
Thanks a lot! Please Reply!!!

Ok Guys till now I don`t know what`s happening
here, it`s too strange and I saw many other people
with the same problem. Forget about the Asus commentary..
but I`m really angry with msi.
And it was not just an upgrade let`s say that I changed the computer only the HD is the same... but formatted.
So lets go..
I spent my money with the following config
MSI k7n2 Delta L (Nvidia Based)
Athlon XP 2400
MSI Geforce ti4800se running agp 8x
512 Mem DDR 266mhz ( I don`t know the brand or more info )
Sound and Network onboard
PSU Info Strange!!! Isn`t it 450w? Look at it...
There are 3 columns
V Voltage 15-230V
Input +3,3V / +5V / +12v
V
Output 20A / 25A / 13A
Max 160w 156w
Current
6a
4a
Input -5v / -12v / +5vsb
Output 0.3A / 0.8A / 2a
Max 1.5W/ 9.6w / 10w
Frequency 60-50mhz
Input PS ON / POK / COM
Output Remote / P.G / Return
That`s it. Strange? What does it mean this 160w?
Lucent Modem 56k ( Yes I still use 56k )
Atx Power Supply 450w
LG DVD-rom
LG Cd-Recorder 52X24X52
Genius Hr6x Scanner
Joystick MS Sidewinder Precision Pro 2
MS Intellimouse Explorer in PS2 port
Windows XP Service Pack 1 (up to date with windows update.)
Directx 9.1b, but tried with 8...9.a same problem
Drivers..first I started with Nvidia HP drivers... than I use now only MSI drivers following MSI site advices... same problem. Same situation...
I will translate `cause my windows isn`t in english.
Irqs...
0 System Timer
1 Keyboard
6 Standard Floopy Drive Controller
8 CMOS / Clock in real time
9 Microsoft ACPI Compilation System
12 Mouse PS/2
13 Numerical Data Processor
14 Primary IDE Channel
15 Secundary IDE Channel
17 Lucent Win Modem
19 MSI MS-StarForce Geforce4 ti4800se with agp8x
20 Standard Enchance PCI to USB Host Controller
21 Stanrdard OpenHCD USB Host controller
22 Nvidia Nforce Audio Codec Interface
22 Standard Open HCD USB Host Controller
That`s all I don`t see here any exclamation or something like that. Since yesterday I disable the 8x support and I didn`t get the problem till now.. but is terrible play a game expecting a system freeze. And it`s too bad when you buy something that you cannot use.
But anyway..I don`t believe it`s causing the problem, I spent hours and I did many reboots in my system
It`s always the same problem thanks for your help, I`m waiting for your replies again.
And sorry for bad comments about MSI, but I hope that u understand that I`m really angry, specially because
I saw unsolved situation like I have.

How can I do a hard reset on my tablet from my imac via usb??? please help

I've research almost all night and no answers please I need to do a hard reset on my tablet because I can't remember the log in. I've try on the tablet everything I could and nothing so the only thing is left, is do it via USB thru my iMac. please help.

What tablet...?
If you have an iPad you can only backup to iTunes and restore it from iTunes on your iMac.
see > iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
If that doesn't work, then your best bet for an iPad is to take it to your local Apple Store and have them Reset it.
Your best bet for an android tablet is to take it to the local retailler and have then do whatever it takes to Reset it.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. The hotness suggests a hardware problem

You have to back them up to a computer. You would import them either to iPhoto or to the Photos app in your PC:

Imac usb keyboard/mouse freezes - please help!

i have a 700 mhz g4 flat-panel, 768 RAM, 40 GB disk, running OS 10.4.5.
the keyboard and mouse keep freezing up. sometimes one, sometimes the other. if i unplug the offending one and plug it back it, it works fine. i've tried using different USB ports, and re-setting the PRAM, but after a few minutes of use, the problem comes back.
please help!

Thanks. I was just going to post that I had more information. Luckily, it seems to jive with what you suspect.
This crash was different. Instead of a "freeze" it panicked. In the USB driver, naturally.
It was throwing these log entries beforehand:
Mar 1 12:45:06 UKELELE kernel[0]: USBF: 406246.406 [0x23a6600] The IOUSBFamily is having trouble enumerating a USB device that has been plugged in. It will keep retrying. (Port 1 of hub @ location: 0x18000000)

So I was going to swap out the mouse, anyway. If that doesn't stop it, I'll change USB ports.
Thanks so much for the response.

Usb + firewire issues = kernel panic - help needed!!

Hello, and please forgive my english, I'll do my best!
So, i have a 1,25 Ghz MDD G4, with 2 x 256 Mo RAM sticks (at first), running mac OS 10.3.9.
As the original HD is too small, I work with my documents on an external firewire HD. The HD is plugged on a third party/PCI firwire card that went down.
On the same day I bought a new firewire card (trendNet, it was said to be mac compatible form mac OS 8.6) and 4 x 512 Mo of Ram (Hynix).
It worked just fine for a week and suddenly my mouse froze (and keyboard too > the mouse is plugged on the keyboard). Having no control on my mac (which seemed ok despite the usb deconnection) I had to hard reboot on the central Unit.
I unplugged the usb hub that occupied mu 2nd usb port (there was a wacom tablet and a flsh memory key on it). I left just the keyboard plugged (and mouse plugged on keyboard).
It was fine for... 2 or 3 hours and then it started again > mouse + keyboard deconnecting/freezing (the keyboard is a mac one, the mouse a microsoft one -optical-).
As the small red optical light of the mouse turns off when the mouse freezes I first thought the mouse or keyboard itself was the culprit.
I tested both of them them on a macbook and they worked just fine (never had a problem with them).
I ran disk utility, repaired the permissions. And it seemed better for a couple of hours.
When it happened again I unplugged the keyboard and plugged it on the 2nd usb port (which was free since I had unplugged everything else) > the mouse "came back to life" and I didn't have to reboot. But it happened again, like 2-3 times (every hour/half hour) until swapping the usb plug on the UC doesn't solve the problem anymore > hard reboot again...
Then I tried EVERYTHING
booting with techtool CD > everything ok, no pb found
running onyx to empty the cash and rerepair the permissions > ibid, no pb
resetting the PRAM with cmd-alt-p-r
resetting the PMU
resetting the usb and firewire ports after each hard reboot
cleaning the dust
removing my old scsi pci card (not used for ages)
moving my new firewire card on an another slot
installing a firmware update
nothing has solved the problem... it seems to arrive randomly, but mostly (more frequently) when working with several apps open.
The cursor seems to freeze for very very short periods (as a warning!) until it freezes for good > it's exactly as if the usb didn't deliver any electricity for micro laps of time (and it is the case I guess as my optical mouse light turns off).
So I change the usb plug into the other port and it works for a while, just as if only one usb port was functional at a time, but it always ends with a hard reboot (no choice).
It's always scary but it's also very annoying as my Western Digital Mybook external drive refuses to mount on desktop after hard reboots... I have to unplug it, replug it, restart etc... well this HD is a pain but I guess it's because it's in FAT 32 (since I forgot to format it when I bought it). So I don't bother too much about the HD itself, but however it seems that the firewire card suffers from this : I have a lot of trouble mounting 2 disks at a time (but with all this I need to backup!). It's like the fiwewire ports (of the pci card) suffered from the same pain as the usb : one at the time! and when I finally mount both external HDs, if I unplug one (after unmounting it and switching it off) the computer freezes.
Then one day I opened itunes, and... kernel panic...
That was 4 days ago I think and I've had like 3-4 KP since then (one a day). These kernel panic happen just as randomly as my usb deconnexions...
Today I tried my last chance : removing the new Hynix ram and putting back my 2 old 256 rams.
It was ok for a pair of hours and then > mouse freeze and kernel panic again...
I reaaally need help, I don't know what to do anymore. I've spent my last week unplugging usb plugs, opening my UC, repairing permissions etc...
now I feel helpless...
Here are some extracts of console logs I've had :
some :

My complements on that. While I read the post quickly, it was only later that I saw you're in Paris....
Anyway, I'm not an expert on logs (system and panic ones), but from what I can tell there is a problem with the PCI USB/Firewire card you installed. It looks like it's the USB portion of the card; those are happing at startup when I'm pretty sure there's a kind of initial checking of the PCI cards.

dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOFireWireFamily(1.8.8)@0x407000
The problems with the card at startup are probably creating an unstable condition, which in turn is causing kernel panics later on.
Basic things first, whenever you change the hardware setup, e.g. RAM and adding cards, it's a really good idea to reset-PRAM. Did you do that? Try that first, it's simple and easy enough to try.
If resetting the PRAM doesn't help, then try the new PCI card. I re-read your post a few times, but I haven't seen whether you tried removing the PCI FW/USB card to see if that helps. Try your mouse and some other devises on the native USB and FW ports. If you're stable, then it very well could be the card.
Of course there's also the question of the RAM, which you pulled without help. Again, after any change of the hardware (adding RAM, pulling RAM, adding/pulling cards, etc.) even during testing, reset the PRAM at startup.
With new RAM it's usually a good idea to test it, with say AHT CD or Rember. If you test, you might want to do this without the new card. It's a little tricky right now because you added 2 new pieces of HW (RAM and FW/USB card) either which or both could cause the problems you're seeing. OS X is picky about RAM, and the MDDs in particular are extremely picky about RAM as far as Apple HW is concerned.
Lots of kernel panics can eventually cause damage to the OS X installation. So in the end, it may be worth re-installing. But, before you take that route. Try the simple things like removing the PCI FW/USB card & testing, and testing the RAM. Take it one step at a time.

K8NGM2-FID problems: no usb and high cpu usage - HELP!

hi folks,
i've setup K8NGM2-FID inside an htpc with a clean install of mce 2005 (onboard video). For the past couple of days I've noticed a few things:
1) if the pc goes into standby (S3) and then wakes up, sometimes task manager shows a cpu usage of 50% (on the graph) but looking at the list of tasks (for all users) nothing is runing that high - in fact system idle process shows 98% (while the graph is still showing about 50%) and the system is a bit sluggish; reboot fixes this but it's getting really annoying. I've installed the latest AMD x2 driver. Sometimes it goes to 98-99% after waking up but that's been rare.
2) i've been getting a few BSODs lately, actually all started yesterday - 3 of them in a span of about 2 hours after insalling Nero. I'm going to try to figure out what is causing it that (proabably Nero - I hope since that's easy to undo) but what i've noticed is that when the system reboots after the blue screen, none of the USB devices work (i.e. keyboard, mouse, etc.). windows has to load, then I need to go in the back and unplug/replug the usb devices which then 'wakes' them up; this can get really annoying in a typical cramped home theater setup. software restarts seem to be good - ok hardware restarts are the problem. hooking things up to a usb hub has the same effect - i.e. I need to re-plug the hub to get them to work - it just means less things to plug/unplug.
has anyone else noticed this? help save my sanity - this is driving me crazy. since this is an mce setup, it goes into sleep and wakes up several times a day so the high cpu issue when it comes up really gets in the way of using the pc. btw. during high cpu times, no mce related function (record/watch/the shell itself) is running.
here's my setup:
K8NGM2-FID - boots up with 3 short beeps - I think it's 1 beep pause then 2 beeps
2 gigs kingston 3 CAS (2 x 1 GIG kit) pc3200 - boot screen shows it running at 400mhz in dual channel config
X2 3800+ stock fan/heatsink with silver 5 (runs around 35-38 idle - inside a silverstone 'stereo rack' case)
ms usb keyboard/mouse/mce remote
coolmax 550W power
3 140GB WD drives (ata 133 - not sata)
onboard video - framebuffer set to 128megs
latest (as of 2 days ago) nvidia and msi drivers - msi bios is the stock 3.0 (more on that later)
the bios settings are all default as far as I can tell.
pvr-150 tuner card
promise ata 100 card
nec 3500dvd
all running on mce 2005 with rollup 2 and all the updates windows could find
i haven't updated the bios because i've read about other folks having blue screen problems and the suggestion has been to up the voltage for the ram (I guess the default setup from MSI is lower than it should be) but apparently that option is missing from the 3.1 and later bioses? and reading the text file, it wasn't very apparent what the bios 3.1 was fixing other than a few cosmetic bootup texts. I'm planning to up the voltage later today.
anyhow, any suggestions short of throwing the entire pc out the door are welcomed.
thanks!

ok here's what I've found about the high cpu...
using process explorer, hardware interrups is taking all the cpu. i've tried to disable items one by one but nothing is working so far. what does work is if i choose scan for new hardware, cpu goes down to normal. standby and resume and cpu is up again. do the scan and it goes down again - without changing anything.
i've re-installed the graphic board driver, nvidia 430 drivers, sound driver. not sure what else to do. checked my drives and they are all properly master/slave set.
this is really getting crazy...anyone come across this?
i'm a bit hesitant to go to bios 3.1 since i've seen lots of posts about BSOD and i've just gotten rid of that.
thanks
thanks a bunch!

IPod Touch 4th gen "USB Device cannot be recognised" Help Please?

Every time I plug it into a PC (any PC, Mac or Linux PC) the Device is not recognised at all not in iTunes or Windows, the iPod is disabled and it's my friends, his computer that he synced it on last is completely broken. I am trying to get it recognised so that I can restore it but I just cannot get it recognised, I have tried both recovery and DFU mode but to no avail. Please help .
BTW I am not sure what iOS it is on but my friend thinks it is on 5.XX

- Try another cable
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

Can't install Win 7 from USB with Boot Camp - please help

Hi,
I'm going crazy trying to install Win 7 from a USB using Boot Camp.
I've got a 13" MacBook (Aluminum) with 6GB RAM (trying to get to 8GB, but that's a different issue), 500GB HDD, running 10.7.4.
In the Boot Camp Assistant I want to partition 60GB for the Win 7 drive, but when I click install I get the error: "The installer disc could not be found. Insert your Windows installer disc and wait a few seconds for it to be recognized." However, the USB drive that I used Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool in Win XP to create is plugged in. I also have the .iso file on my Mac desktop.
Googling hasn't produced any solution that I can work - most seem to be using Boot Camp assistant 3.0, and I've got 4.0.3 running.
I'd appreciate help, particularly step-by-step instructions that I could follow.
Thanks in advance.

Lion has been out and most threads here deal with 10.7. and BCA 4.0.x
There are problems with burning ISO to DVD etc at anything other than slowest burn speed (2x)
New 2012 models don't have an internal DVD but if you do, then yours does not support a USB-DVD.
So you are running XP now and have Windows XP partition? knowing that the update will need 40GB and that Lion does not support XP.
Look at the other posts I made this morning for some of the FAQ Boot Camp support links.

My Airport disconnects randomly when USB disk is attached..HELP NEEDED !!!!

My Airport Extreme disconnects randomly when USB disk is attached, I have searched this forum but found now obvious solution.
The Airport Extreme has the latest firmware.
Since the airdisk solution is quite useless at this time, I would kindly accept any kind of help .....thanks
Sieber

Len61 got my reply, I have copied below.
Hi - I have been on the phone with support 4X since late December - all good calls. They have been scratching their heads on this issue.
I have 2 printers and 2 drives on the airport -recent experieinces = printers have always behaved, drives have appeared / vanished / "drive needs repair" and it's just fine...
Cutting out the interim fixes, here are the simple but important solutions and everything has been stable for days now.
* rolled back to AEBS firmware 7.1.1
* replaced the passive USB hub with a powered hub ** This is when joy arrived
* make sure your drive has a block size of 512
You can run guest mode however you want, since adding the new hub, it hasn't mattered.
I haven't been brave enough to upgrade firmware to 7.2.1
cheers

New iPod not loading on computer w/ new USB card... HELP!

My new 30g 5g is only about a month old. I've been hooking it up to my computer (PC) via the old USB (1) and it has worked fine. I just got a new external drive which pushed me into needing more USB slots so I got a new USB 2.0 card (Startech) and put that in my computer. The drive and everything else works fine through the card, however, my ipod won't work properly with it. The iPod used to load on My Computer as an ipod with its name and when opened would show the folders on the iPod. Now, it loads as a "removable disk" with nothing inside. And it won't load in iTunes at all.
If I connect it through the old USB slot it seems to work as normal. Also, anything else I connect with the new USB card works fine.
I've tried updating iTunes, restarting, tried all the different ports on the new card, took the card out and reinstalled...
I've avoided wiping my iPod so far, but I know that is one option. My iPod is basically brand new so I'm stumped. Any help is appreciated.
PC Windows XP

my only suggestion would be to format it thru windows (mycomputer, right click the ipod, format, quick format) then restore it with the ipod updater.
i myself am looking into getting a usb 2.0 card because im hoping it will fix my problem with random disconnections. i hope you work it out.

My external USB 300gb Seagate woes - please help

Hi,
I am on a Quicksilver 2002 Dual 1gig with 1.5 gb of RAM. OS 10.4.2
Recently I purchased a Seagate 300gb SATA drive and placed it into a USB 2.0 SATA/IDE enclosure. I have a USB 2.0 PCI card in my machine as well. I am using this as my first backup drive and I have another external 400gb drive on the way to serve as 2nd backup which will be stored offsite.
My problems started the first day I tried to backup my internal 160gb drive. First, after formatting the new drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) I started dumping large chunks of data into it and it seemed to run ok. I got a -51 error and had to start over.
Later, while pulling some folders over I noticed I didn't get the status window showing my estimated time for copying. I did get the spinning beach ball of death. This continued for quite some time. I shut off the enclosure and restarted the machine ( i believe it might have been a force quit)
Upon the restart I got the following error, " Disk Insertion" The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." Initialize, Ignore & Eject
After trying to mount the drive using Disk Utility I decided to run the FIrst Aid. I immediately got errors.
Invalid B-tree node size
Invalid B-tree node size
The volume needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
I then decided to re-format the drive. All was well and it showed up on my desktop. So I began to copy again. Same thing happened again. This time I got my drive almost backed up and got the funky spinning wheel near the end. I even copied over small folders one at a time.
I tried to do some research, but could not find any info on my particular issue. I found some firmware issue threads, but nothing describing my problem since I have the latest firmware version. I can't figure out why my file directory is corrupting like this as I have never had this happen before. Is it the drive itself?
I am very frustrated as I thought getting this drive would help to make my life easier. I have yet to receive my 400gb external drive to test, but unsure what to do with this current drive as it is proving to be unreliable.
Could it be the USB2.0 PCI card or enclosure? How do I trouble shoot something like that? Where should I start?
Would a firewire enclosure be better to utilize? Is it a SATA compatibility issue?
Am I better off with a SATA controller card and using the drive internally? Would doing a Archive and Install help anything? Should I even bother updating to 10.4.7?
I am at my wits end and have spent WAY too much time trying to research this. I even called Seagate tech support and they were utterly useless.
I would appreciate any and all comments or suggestions. All I want is a reliable redundant backup system.
thanks!
G4 dual G QS 2k Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Hi, Terry, and welcome to the Discussions!
There is a difference in technologies to consider when deciding on a card. SATA cards work with SATA (serial ATA) drives. ATA-133 cards work with ATA (PATA/IDE/EIDE/Ultra ATA) drives. If you're planning to hook an existing ATA drive to a SATA card, you'll need an adapter for each such drive you hook to it, which costs additional $ and won't take full advantage of the significant speed increase of SATA over ATA, being limited by the ATA drive itself, at least as I understand it.
You probably need to decide which technology will best suit your needs before anyone can give a specific recommendation on any particular card. (It sounds like your third hard drive is ATA, not SATA.)
SATA drives have different power cables for which an adapter cable is necessary to connect to your existing power cable connector. They don't use any jumpers to set the drive configurations, unlike ATA drives. They use a different interface cable as well, and not the ribbon cable like the one(s) currently in your Mac.
The "budget" low-cost, PC cards of either type won't work. Again, you need a card with firmware specifically designed to run on a Mac. Brands to look at are FirmTec, Acard, Sonnet, SIIG, and (just recently) the OWC offering previously mentioned. Still, insure that the card is made for a Mac.
Check out this page, which contains a variety of Mac-compatible ATA and SATA cards. You can then use the brand/part/model numbers to compare prices from other vendors like Newegg and others, if you desire. As previously noted, some SATA cards come with the necessary power cable adapter and seven-pin SATA data interface cable. Others don't, so check to see what you might need should you decide to go with SATA; the devil is in the specific details...
