After 10.7.2.update cannot see SD card reader in usb drive. Used to appear on desktop and start iPhoto but now nothing happens. It is recognised by system profiler (usb hub), but cannot find it anywhere.

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

I replaced the battery on my RAID card, when I booted my mac pro up, I get the folder with the question mark. I used a boot USB drive to boot and when I looked in the RAID utility, my RAID 5 volumes were no longer showing, advise.

Not sure if I'm following you. I have 4 hard drives installed on my Mac Pro. I had a RAID 5 configured and functional for about 5 months. My battery died on the RAID card. I replaced the battery, seated the RAID card back in the slot I removed it from. When I booted to the USB drive to look in the RAID utility, I could see the battery is charged but my volumes are not showing.
The drives don't show in disk Utility. I built the RAID with the RAID Utility and they did show there. I have a early 2008 Mac Pro, Mavricks OS running Mac Server

My Macbook suddenly won't read my usb drive..

My 2012 Macbook Pro Retina suddenly won't read my usb drive (its a Kingston 16gb DataTraveler se9 if it matters).
I was just using it yesterday and it was just fine. Did the drive just fail? Or could it be something with the Macbook?
It shows up on disk utility but verify and repair disk is greyed out. This is the first time I've had this problem in 15 months
of use. My Lacie external drive still works just fine and I tried out another se9 and it worked fine too..

Thanks, but my drive is accessible through disk utility, but when ever i attempt to verify it or repair it, disk utility just doesn't respond and i have to force quit.

How can I use an external USB drive on my Macmini with Boot Camp and Lion/Windows 7?

I have a MacMini (Last model with a disk drive). The Mini has Lion and Windows 7 installed using Boot Camp. I want to attach a 350GB, USB, HP Personal Storage Device (Hard Drive) to the computer and be able to use it in both Lion and Windows 7 mode. The USB drive is formatted for Windows 7. I only want to use it for storage and back-up purposes for both operating systems. It would be nice if I could access the total disk from either system without having to reboot to change operating systems to view Windows 7 files and reboot again to view Lion files. Can anyone offer any guidance or any informational websites to help me? Thank you for any help!!

Yes, you’ll be able to do that.

Use WRT350N and USB hard drive for backup

I intend to use a Western Digtal MY BOOK Essential Edition (500 GB USB external hard drive) with my WRT350N router for backing up my data every night. Has anyone used this combination? Can you tell me if there are any obstacles I should be aware of? The backup software I will use is Genie Backup Manager. I think I am going to need help in configuring the router to use the external hard drive.
Thanks,
poorolepaul

There were rumors floating around that the USB port in the 350N can not handle anything over 250Gb. Since the drive I used with the 350N was not that large I have no personal knowledge of whether that is true or not.
In any event, using the current firmware for the 350n (1.3.02) you can be assured that the USB will totally lock up about every day or two and the router and hard drive will have to be reset. Using the beta firmware that you can either request from Linksys or find available from someone on the Internet, that problem APPEARS to be fixed. The only problem is that a gigabit network connection will now lock up every day or two. That was my personal experience and what I have read by others.
My recommendation would be not to buy the 350N until they release firmware that fixes these problems otherwise you'll be as frustrated with the product as I am and others are.

New Firewire 800 External Hard Drive and how to use old External USB Drive

Hi All,
I have a new LaCie d2 Quadra Hard Disk hard drive 500 GB - FireWire / FireWire 800 / Hi-Speed USB / eSATA-300 on the way, when it arrives I plan to use it as my Time Machine Backup drive with the FireWire 800 connection. I am currently using a Seagate Free Agent USB 2.0 320 GB external drive as my Time Machine disk. The reason for upgrading is the USB drive is slow slow slow! I am not concerned about the data on my old drive and will just wipe it clean using Disk Utility. What I would like to do is use the old drive to archive iTunes 7.7.1 and Aperture 2.0 music and photographs. Can someone give me an idea how to go about doing this?
Thanks!

Hi, yes that will copy the whole iTunes..including everything in iTunes..BUT, as you add to your iTunes on the Main HD, with the ext HD I think you will have to manually update anything added. Or dragNdrop the whole thing again.. You could also locate you iTunes music Library & just copy that across..With images once again find your iPhoto library & just copy that across..L

Bootcamp wants to use my whole USB drive

Hi all,
strange one here. A few months ago I used Bootcamp to install windows 7 without any issues. I've had to format the partation and am having to go through the process again.
The issue i'm having is when creating a Bootable USB Drive it only shows 1 Destination Disk (even though this USB drive is partitioned into 5 seperate drives). I was able to get the Boot Camp Assistant to view all the seperate drives before but I cannot remember how I did this (high chance it was luck).
Does anyone know why it is doing this and what I can do to make it see the partitions as I don't want to have to format a 320Gb usb drive just to install windows.
Thanks

A disk with five partitions can't be used for Boot Camp. Disk Utility hides some partisions so chances are you really have six or more partitions. Use the Terminal and type this command:
diskutil list
That will show the true number of partitions on the drives. A maximum of four partitions, including the one that will be used for Windows, is allowed if you want to use Boot Camp Assistant. Otherwise you'll need to look at 3rd party software, and off hand I don't know for sure if any of the trio capable of resizing both HFSJ and NTFS will work on a disk with more than 4 partitions either. Those being: iPartition, Winclone, and Camptune.
GPT fdisk, a.k.a. gdisk, is free open source software, and it can create the necessary hybrid partition scheme, albeit it'll be even more non-standard than Apple's variety so you may run into problems down the road that I can't predict. Frequent backups are the way to mitigate that. Gdisk will let you add specific GPT partitions into the hybrid MBR, whereas Apple always does it 1:1, GPT partition 1 is mapped to MBR partition 1, GPT 2 goes to MBR 2, and so on. And MBR can only hold 4 entries. So as soon as you have a fifth entry, Apple's tools won't create a hybrid MBR.
gdisk, however, is a command line only program. It has an interactive mode so it's not totally obscure but it's not everyone's cup of tea.

How can I use a existing USB Driver in NI VISA 3.0

Hello,
we have an ftdi USB driver for our measurement device.
The FTD2XX.sys is registred in C:\WINNT\system32\drivers
Also I have a FTD2XX.dll and an FTD2XX.inf file.
But I don´t know how can I register them in NI LabView or VISA.
Have I to do a new *.inf file for VISA?
Thank you
Cedric

You can either use the manufacturer-supplied driver or NI-VISA to control your USB device but not both. If you have installed your device, each time you plug it in the FTD2XX.inf will associate your device with FTD2XX.sys. Then, you can use FTD2XX.dll to talk to your device using the call library function node. The DLL usually contains a whole bunch of useful functions that someone else already designed to talk to your device. This is the easier route and I would recommend it if you already have the DLL and the installed driver.
The second method would be to uninstall or disable the driver for your device and create an .inf file with NI-VISA Driver development wiazard. This .inf file will tell Windows to use VISA as your device driver. You will, however need the vendor and product ID of the device to use VISA as your driver. The details of this are outlined in the NI document "Using VISA 3.0 to control your USB device."
The drawback of this method is that VISA is just an API to talk to your device and you have to implement the communication protocol to talk to your device. This might take some time to do.
This is why I recommend the first method. Someone else already implemented the driver for your and you just have to use the functions from the dll to implement your application.
Hope this helps.

Winpe and USB drive, can one be mapped?

I am creating a reference disk in Virtualbox that is Win7 and customized with the applications I would like for a standard image. I am trying to capture the image using imagex which is being loaded from an iso file. I first tried just writing the wim file
to the VMs drive to later copy it to wherever I wanted it. I got to 90% and then it failed because of insufficient disk space. I didn't try writing the wim to a network repository because I already attempted that and the network connections are too slow, something
not in my control. Is there a way to get Winpe to recognize a USB hard drive? Alternatively is it perhaps possible to "network" the write of the wim file to a folder on the host computer? I realize this is somewhat a mixed question between MS Winpe
and Oracle Virtualbox, I so want to move to HyperV! Thanks for any help :)

Hi! Ive been using virtualbox for many years to create my image. Please make sure you install the "Guest Additions". This will enable you to insert a usb and you will have to go to devices-->usb devices and select your usb drive in WinPE mode.... This
will allow you to choose the correct drive letter using imagex.

"Connect as . . . " and USB drives

Using Leopard, I use to be able to connect to a remote computer using a Admin user login information and get access to the USB drives connected to my Mac Pro. Now with Snow Leopard, I only have access to the startup drive. Is there any way to re-enable the sharing of external USB hard drives in Snow Leopard?

With Leopard, I never had to add the external USB drive to the Sharing System Preference panel. Just in case, I opened the Get Info window for the USB drive and selected "Share Folder." After doing so, the drive appeared in the Sharing System Preference panel. Unfortunately, it did not help.
My Mac Pro has two internal drives and two external drives. I am connecting to it from my Macbook on the road using Back to My Mac. I can see the Mac Pro and can connect to it, but when I do, I can only access the Mac Pro's start up disk. The other internal and both external drives are not available.
Just in case it has something to do with the WAN (though it always worked fine with Leopard), I used Back to My Mac to view the screen of a Mac Mini I also have on my home network. Taking control of the Mac Mini, I used the Finder to connect to my Mac Pro. Though both the Mini and the Mac Pro are on the same network, I still only have access to the Mac Pro's start up disk.

Itunes and usb drive

i got a new computer and i want to transfer all my music using a usb drive but once i plug the flash drive into my new computer, i can transfer all that music to itunes, but i can't seem to save it or get it to stay on itunes since when i disconnect that usb flash drive, it obviously can't locate those song files anymore.

Make sure under Advanced tab in iTunes>Preferences, +Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library+ is checked. Good luck!

OS X 10.8.4 - Hard drives and USB drives showing up as numbers, not names.

It used to display as "System" for my main hard drive, and "Media" and "Time Machine" for my USB drives but since recently they only ever show as "57.80", "-263" and "60+000/=76" respectively.
Reboots don't show them as they should be. They appear like this in finder, desktop and disk utility.
Any way to get it so their names show instead?
Thanks.

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
{ diskutil list; echo; diskutil cs list; } | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
If any personal information appears in the output, anonymize before posting, but don’t remove the context.

Airport Extreme and USB Drive

Hello,
It appears there are two hardware versions of the Airport Extreme base station - the UFO shaped one that I have and the flat rectangular version. I would like to know if it is possible to use my AEBS with an external USB drive. I have searched the forums and found posts regarding 7.x software and external drives. I am using 5.3.1 and there doesn't seem to be an option for an external drive. I have tried the software update and it indicates there are no updates.
I just bought this base station along with my MacBook Pro at an Apple Store last November. I am going to be very unhappy if they sold me an outdated unit.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Roger

The round 802.11b/g AEBS does not support USB hard drives.

Kernel task when using Firewire external usb drive

Hi, I'm using an external 320GB Iomega USB drive that has both usb and firewire cable sockets. When i connect the drive with the firewire cable to my mac (MacBook Pro) the CPU usage increases. Specifically, kernel_task usage goes up and stays constant in around 3% and sometimes it goes higher and stays high for longer periods.
Does anyone knows why this occurs and how to avoid a kernel_task CPU usage increase?
Greetings,
C.

It's probably Spotlight Indexing the external drive, if you don't want this to happen open System Preferences/Spotlight, click the Privacy Tab then drag the external drive icon from your Desktop into that box.
