Using a mtech hiface usb device with macbook air is producing a lot of static. when i touch the mac air it stops then starts when i remove my hand. Help?

Im using a mtech hiface usb device for audio on my Mac Air. If i disconnect it from its ac and disconnect the hiface from the usb then take the Mac Air to a new location to work then return it I have an awful lot of static. im assuming its static electricity from the move or something. ive tried to ground it with my body by touching the mac air while touching something grounded. The static stops at that point but starts all over when i move my hand away from the computer. Any suggestions, could it be a setting in the USB? Thanks.

how long have you had your ipod? mine did the same but after a while you need to get a new one because of the battery...

  • How do I use more than one USB device with Airport Extreme?

    I would like to plug a shared hard drive into my new airport extreme and still be able to plug in a shared printer as well. How am I supposed to do this with only one USB port. Do I use a USB hub???
    Is it possible to connect a hard drive using one of the ethernet ports?

    To use multiple USB devices you would use a powered USB hub.
    You can connect a hard drive to one of the Ethernet ports providing the hard drive is a NAS and supports Ethernet connections. In that situation the NAS hard drive is just like any other Ethernet client and the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) does not handle the file sharing services. The drive itself would provide the file sharing services.

  • How to use old 2005 cinema display (20'') with MacBook Air (mid-2009)

    My old 20'' cinema display (2005) has three ports coming out of its power box (single-port dvi, usb, firewire).  Is it possible to use this display with my newer MacBook Air (mid-2009) ? If so, what kind of connector do I need?  Thank you very much for your help.

    To use my old Cinema display (2005) with my old PowerMac G5 (2005) I had to plug in all three ports (DVI, usb and firewire) into the desktop.  Can I really use the display just with the DVI output plugged into my MacBook Air mini-Display Port ?

  • When I plug in an USB stick, my MacBook Air disables all USB devices

    When I plug in an USB device, my MacBook Air disables all USB devices and the keyboard. It looks like it would freeze, but all applications still work. It just does not respond to neither keyboard nor mouse. The only solution is to force-restart it. What can I do? I am using Lion and have updated it. The same error occured with Snow Leopard as well. Unfortunately, it sometimes happens and sometimes not. I have a suspicion it is related to the devices power consumption in corelation with the battery charging status.
    I am using a MacBook Air 13", late 2010 version.

    Have you tried plugging the flash drive into a different Mac to see if it works? The Air shouldn't have any problem with it, I use a couple of flash drives in mine, although I don't have a pq1. Did you try both USB ports on the Air? Do you have another flash drive you can test in the Air, or a different USB device, like a hard drive or printer?
    The only thing I can think of is either a bad flash drive, or a bad USB port on the Air. Sorry, can't be more help than that.

  • Using Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard with MacBook Pro, Air, Retina (with pictures)

    Using Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard with MacBook Pro, Air, Retina (with pictures)
    The purpose of this discussion thread is to:
    (1) Get community thoughts around using alternative and complimentary mousing approaches with MacBooks 
    (2) To share a current and searchable set of resources for those interested in leveraging a best-of-both-worlds approach for using a non-Apple Trackpoint Keyboard with an Apple MacBook.
    (3) To level-set the fact that a Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard works with MacBooks automatically and instantly out-of-the-box.
    Note: I created this discussion because I found that all the other discussion threads related to using a Thinkpad Trackpoint Keyboard with MacBooks were archived and therefore I could not post my thoughts there.
    I have been using MacBooks for 3+ years now.  Airs, Pros, Retinas etc.  I LOVE the built-in MacBook Apple Trackpad.  It is wonderful.  Apple has no equal as far as Trackpads go.
    In addition, I have been using the Thinkpad Trackpoint USB Keyboard with my MacBooks for ~2 years, and below is why I have found BOTH the Apple Trackpad and Thinkpad Trackpoint to be great.
    The Trackpoint and Trackpad both have their sweet spots.  Personally I use the built-in Apple Trackpad on my MacBooks when I'm using my MacBook for less than 1 hour, loosely speaking.  If I am going to be heads-down for more than 1 hr writing, reading, surfing, graphic designing, programming, workshop facilitating, teaching, mindmapping, presenting, demoing, etc. then I pull out my "Lenovo Thinkpad USB Keyboard with Trackpoint (55Y9003) > https://www.google.com/search?&q=lenovo+thinkpad+trackpoint+usb+keyboard
    I know many will laugh at me for using a Thinkpad Trackpoint Keyboard with a MacBook...  Keeping an open mind, let's just agree that there is historical precedence for alternative mousing devices.  If I could only choose one, I would use the Apple MacBook built-in Trackpad exclusively, however with alternatives come potential benefits.  Keep in mind that Apple, Microsoft, Logitech and many other companies make millions of dollars each year providing alternative peripheral devices for computers, and mousing is no exception.  Regardless, I just want to share my positive experiences using both. :-)
    Why should you care?  For *some* people the following is true and meaningful.  The Trackpoint (the little red eraser head stick thingy) in the midle of the keyboard enables useful and unique dynamics/use-cases, including:
    You don't have to take your hand(s) off the keyboard to mouse
    You can independantly click without accidentally moving the mouse (Yes I know some people don't have issues with this)
    You don't run out of finger-gesture runway when you're moving your mouse across the screen (I know this is a gray area for some people)
    For mouse-movement-heavy applications (e.g. Graphics, drawing, etc.) the Trackpoint *is at times* more exacting
    Below I share some pictures (which I know *look* ridiculous to some people, but none-the-less help demystify what this looks like.  And, while ridiculous looking, it is actually quite thin and elegant once you get over the initial shock of seeing these two diverse technologies combined in this way.
    Rest assured, the keyboard shown below (google "55Y9003") is VERY light, thin and fits in almost any laptop case/backpack easily so it is not a big deal to carry it, if you work on-the-go.  In addition:
    It is UNCANNY how well it fits on top of the keyboard space of all MacBooks. 
    It fits perfectly around the corners of the MacBook Pro/Air/Retina keyboard
    Note: I took one of the 5 rubber feet/pads off the bottom of my keyboard, the one in the middle
    Lastly, you can actually use the built-in Apple Trackpad at the SAME TIME as the Trackpoint Keyboard. 
    It is quite a nice best-of-both-worlds approach for people that like the benefits of the "Why should you care?" use cases above.
    Please reply and comment with your thoughts and please let's keep it positive, constructive and friendly :-)
    Pictures Below:
    My two Retina MBPs, one with and one without the keyboard, so you can easily see the difference.  (As if you wouldn't)
    A slightly closer-up shot of just the RMBP with the Trackpoint Keyboard on top
    Please reply and comment with your thoughts and please let's keep it positive, constructive and friendly :-)

    Newer Bluetooth version of the ThinkPad External Trackpoint Keyboard available...
    The new version is smaller, so you can use your MacBook Trackpad at the same time as your Trackpoint keyboard.
    Here is the Lenovo model/Part Number# 0B47190
    Here is a picture of what it looks like:
    Note: Just like the older larger USB model keyboard, there is a rubbery footpad in the middle of the bottom of the keyboard that I just peeled off.  Otherwise, it makes the "H" key press accidentally under-neath the keyboard.  Once I took that off, it fit perfectly over and around the built-in MacBook keyboard, so I can optionally put it on top of my MacBook for easy typing. :-)

  • USB Devices with DLL librairies

    Hello,
    I am working on a project that uses a custom made USB device. I use a USB serial converter chip that emulates a serial port on my computer. The problem is that I need to use some of the functions included in the DLL that came with the device and I also want to monitor interrupts on the device. I was wondering if it was possible to monitor the USB using an interrupt from Windows or to monitor the interrupts from the device using VISA, but be able to talk to the USB device using the Windows driver.
    Thanks,
    Benjamin

  • Can I use iCloud to sync two devices with different apples Ids?

    Can I use iCloud to sync two devices with different apple ID's

    What do you mean by "apple ID"?  There's an ID you can use at the iTunes store to buy songs, apps, etc.  there's an ID you can use for your iCloud account - the two can be different or the same. So which service are you referring to when you talk about an apple ID?

  • I am trying to find an app or software to burn iMovie slideshow to a dvd.  I have a MacBook Pro with Mavericks.  There are a lot of DVD Creator apps a the App store. Looking for a recommendation of what to use and tips.

    I am trying to find an app or software to burn iMovie 11 slideshow to a dvd.  I have a MacBook Pro with Mavericks.  There are a lot of DVD Creator apps at the App store. Looking for a recommendation of what to use and tips. Thank you.

    I've been using "Burn" for years and it has been the only DVD burning software I have ever used for the mac. I have never needed to look at other apps. Unless you want something that has more bells and whistles such as Roxio's "Toast" : http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/pro/overview.html
    There are thousands of quality free apps out there for the mac that are not part of the App Store. All you have to do is read reviews online, do a little search, the Apple forums are full of recommendations from experienced users that have been here for years...

  • Can older charger be used with MacBook Air?

    Can older charger be used with MacBook Air? Charger with cylindrical magnetic male end was lost. Charger for older white plastic MacBook is available, but is it safe to use with MacBook Air.

    You have to use the right power adapter.
    You can order one from Apple store.

  • Hi, I recently got the iPhone 6, a bit of mucking around with iMessage, over it to be honest. When i message from my macbook air my recipients receive my message from my email. HELP! it never used to do this. its so annoyingly frustrating.

    Hi, I recently got the iPhone 6, a bit of mucking around with iMessage, over it to be honest. When i message from my macbook air my recipients receive my message from my email. HELP! it never used to do this. its so annoyingly frustrating.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

  • You can use the final cut with macbook air 11 x 4GB with external hard drive

    I can install and use the final cut X, with macbook air 11", 4GB with an external hard drive, and them transfer to the mac pro

    No, not directly. You would need to transfer your data from your iPad to your Mac and then back it up to an external drive.
