W510 bootup when plug in a USB cable from a printer
I am not sure whether this is by design or a defect. When I plug in a USB cable (connected to a printer that is on), the machine boot up by itself. Does any one else have experienced this? Is this a concern?
Thanks,
Charles
It might be the "allow device to wake from standby" option. Eg. here's some info for a mouse, you could see what is set for your printer:

I cannot connect my Macbook to Epson printer XP 400. Both are on the same network and Symantic anti virus is disconneted.
Add printer does not find the Epson. All works when I use the USB cable.Further information on my question about the epson wireless printer and macbook.
It seems that the epson xp-400 works wirelessly only with 802.11n wireless network not with 802.11g or earlier.
Does anyone else know about this. I read it on the epson support site for epson xp-400.
Also epson xp-400 will not work wirelessly if it is already connected to a computer with a USB cable. -
Hi,
I cannot power-on my iomega eGo using a regular USB cable and my iMac (2010 model). Since I have the wall USB brick charger of my iPad, I was mondering if I could plug a 'Y' USB cable in the following way:
- from the eGo, to the iMac and the last 'Y' connection to the brick to get the power.
Will this work?
ThanksIt sounds like you're going to end up squirting 2 amps of electricity into your iMac into a port which is supposed to supply power, not receive it. Very bad idea. Consider the word "fry".
From the specs for your drive: "Requires USB 3.0 port or ExpressCard™ or PCIe slot for best performance"
USB 3 ports supply nearly twice the power of USB 2 ports. -

System hangs up on plugging the USB cable from SCXI1600 into my PC
Hello there,
My PC hung up twice during installation on plugging the USB cable from SCXI1600 into my PC. I have installed Labview 7.1
followed by NI-DAQmx 7.4 drivers. I then plug in the cable into one of the USB ports and then switch the power on on the chassis,
SCXI-1000. My PC immediately goes into safe mode switches off and turns back on. I do not know why this has happened. It has worked
fine prior to this.Morning!
I figured out why my system was switching to safe mode and shutting the moment I plugged in the USB cable from my SCXI-1600. That was the instruction coming in from Norton Anti-Virus which saw the power and data coming through the USB as a serious intrusion into the system and automatically shuts down even without asking me. I now need to know how to change the setting on the Anti-Virus to recognise SCXI as a client on my computer.
Thank you to anyone thinking about this prob.
Cheers. -
Mac is restarting by itself when I plug in a USB cable
I have an Actisys IR computer link that includes a USB cable and the IR reading head that is used to connect to my daughter's Animas One Touch Ping diabetes pump. It has worked fine for over a year and this week when we go to transfer data from the pump to the program on our Mac it is not reading the pump. So when you unplug the USB cable and plug it back it, the computer immediately starts to restart. Tried it multiple times on multiple days and I have no idea why this would affect the Mac and cause it to restart. Any ideas?
Try resetting the SMC
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer. -
I do not have audio output when my guitar to usb cable is plugged into my ipad
I have a guitar to USB cable, I have the USB adapter for my iPad. I am trying to record my guitar in garageband, when the guitar to USB cable is plugged in I cannot hear anything, not even the metronome. If I try to playback what I recorded I cannot hear it, even with headphones. I unplug the cable and I can hear. I don't know what I am missing so that I can hear my guitar through the amp while I am recording.
Nope. Only the steps stated in the support document where you posted your query.

IPhone 3G not appearing in either iPhoto or iTunes when plugged in via USB
No longer getting my iPhone 3G to appear as a device in either iTunes or iPhoto (my wife's iPhone 3G either) when plugged in to my powerbook's USB port or the second USB port on my Apple keyboard. Also the iPhone is no longer charging from these USB ports.
Tried different USB cables.
Wife's iPhone on iPhone 3.0. Mine on 3.1.
Then tried using same USB cables to connect via her old flat panel iMac. it worked!
Then I tried plugging the iPhone USB cable into the other Powerbook USB port normally used by my keyboard.
Nothing. Including no charging.
Looks like a problem with the USB connections on the Powerbook with the circuitry that connects to an iPhone. The keyboard works fine in either of the USB ports. And the USB ports on my 20" screen that connect to at least some of my external drives also seem to be working. They appear on my desktop.
Is the internal circuitry on the Powerbook USB ports such that some external devices can remain supported while other USB devices are not recognized?
SteveHave you tried assigning your iPod a different drive letter? See these instructions below:
Log off of any other users on your computer (and disconnect any iPods that are currently connected to your computer, as well)
Then, put your iPod into Disk Mode, then follow these steps:
1 - Don’t plug in your iPod yet.
2 - Go to "START -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools (if you don't see this, click on "classic view" button on the left panel) -> Computer Management."
3 - Click on the "Disk Management" button in the left panel area.
4 - Now, with "Computer Management" and Control Panel windows opened, reset your iPod, and connect it.
5 - Right-click on your iPod's listing there (after a few moments when it gets recognized in this drive window), and click on "Change Drive letter and Paths". Then the "Change..." button.
Assign your iPod the letter "M" "N", "O" or the like (further along in the alphabet).
For more details, see this article:
Windows confuses iPod drive letter / Changing drive letter
If your iPod isn't recognize to assign it a different letter, or the above steps still don't work, then try disconnecting all other USB devices from your computer (other than your mouse and keyboard), and see if you can re-assign your iPod's drive letter works.
I hope that helps you.

IPad will not connect to pc or iTunes, I get a double ping when I connect the USB cable
My iPad will not connect to either my PC or iTunes. When I plug in the USB cable I get a double ping from the PC. Any Suggestions?
I have never heard of this "double ping" issue in the before. You say it is coming from the PC so maybe it is a USB problem on the computer. I assume that you have tried another USB port on the PC. You could also try another computer that is running iTunes and see what happens.
I am not a PC user, so the only other thing I can offer is a link to the Apple support site for an iOS device not being recognized in iTunes for Windows.

I am trying to connect a Macbook Pro to a projector for a Powerpoint presentation. When I use a VGA cable, the color of the projected images are not good. When I use a USB cable, the projected image includes the presenter notes on my computer screen?
To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
and select the Library that you moved. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

I need to scan wirelessly from a MAC (OS 1.7 or higher) through Adobe Acrobat Pro X (or higher). Have discovered that all in one printers say they are MAC compatible but will only scan when connected with a USB cable. Would prefer a laser, color, all in one. Does anyone have printer suggestions that you know will scan wirelessly?
Great information.
