What kind of USB devices?

Hi, folks.
What kind of USB devices can I plug to TC? Only HDDs and printers?
If I plug USB speakers, will my Mac stream sound (something like AirTunes in AirPort Express)?
Can I sync my iPhone if I hook my dock to TC?
Any other ideas I could use TC USB port for?
Thanks.

What kind of PCI Device is the NI-PCI 6519 card?

Hi:
I need to know what kind of PCI device is the NI-PCI 6519, according to the definition that appear on the link: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/bus/PCI/pcibridge.mspx, under the title "Types of PCI Devices and PCI-to-PCI Bridges".
Is the NI-PCI 6519:
1.- a PCI-to-PCI docking bridge type?
2.- a reset-resistant SID PCI device type?
3.- a reset-loading SID PCI device type?
4.- a non-reset resistant SID PCI device type? or
5.- a multifunction PCI device type?
I need to know this because I have a problem with the PCI-to-PCI Bridge of my motherboard on the Power Management issue and it affects directly the PCI bus configuration of my system.
If someone knows the answer or knows somebody who knows the answer I'll appreciate very much his/her help; or maybe he/she could send me the contact to somebody.
Thanks in advance!

Ignacio,
The PCI-6519 is fully compliant to the PCI-2.2 specification which means that it requires the 3.3 V rail from the PCI bus. The 6519 must be installed into a slot that provides 3.3 V. Check that the 3.3 V LED located on the top right of the 6519 device is lit. If not, check that the PC motherboard provides 3.3 V to the PCI bus. I also believe that it should be a reset-resistant or reset-loading device, but if you feel that the board is not working correctly with your pci-to-pci bridge, I would recommend that you contact NI support directly.

What kind of USB hubs work with the 2014 version of Time Capsule?

The latest post I could find on USB hubs archived from 2012 and I'm wondering what today's information is.
I have a Sabrent HB-J3U7. It is a 7 port USB 3.0 hub, two charging ports and five "normal". I think I remember reading the charging ports can deliver about 2 amps each. Obviously the Sabrent is a powered hub. I plugged it into the TC's USB port and nothing. No lights on hub indicating a connection at the device plug in ports.
I did a little experimenting and the hub works fine when hooked to my iMac (OS X 10.9.4). The individual devices work fine when connected straight to the TC USB port. All I can discern is that this hub is not compatible with TCs. Too much power maybe? The iMac has a USB 2.0 controller like the TC and the hub works there so I don't really understand the failure on the TC.
Then, for some reason, I tried the hub when it was disconnected from power and I could finally see the Sabrent hub connected devices (32GB USB 3.0 thumb drive and 2TB USB WD Passport - both formatted Extended Journaled). So I plugged the Sabrent power up and it still worked. That is until I tried to rename the TC hard drive through Airport Utility which required an update to TC. TC wouldn't restart. Just a solid amber, not even flashing amber. I disconnected Sabrent and unplugged the TC and replugged and TC worked again but now I'm afraid of the Sabrent.
Does anyone have ideas about what is going on? Any help would be appreciated.

The hub is not compatible. It sounds like the unit is powering the link to the TC.. which would cause the TC to freeze up. You might need a special USB cable which has just data connection but no power.
It is really hard to get info on hubs that work.. particularly because there are so many around and many are changed .. eg if you buy a belkin this year it fails when last years one worked.. that is because all the manufacturer is farmed out to various factories in China who use .. the cheapest parts available today to build them.. next week it could be different.
The TC just doesn't have a huge amount of memory to store drivers for every USB under the sun. So some work some don't. The best I have found is the cheapest brand x USB2. I would not bother with USB3 since that chipset is even more unlikely to be supported than USB2 ones.
I have tried to get people to add to a database.. not much so far.

What kind of usb does the new iPad use?

Wondering if they bumped it up to USB2 or not.
Thanks

Wow, never would I have expected such a quick reply. Thanks, people. But maybe I should be a bit more clear about what I'm asking and why.
I'm a musician who is involved in recording, making music, and sometimes field recording. I have a first generation iPad. The 30-pin dock, if I understand correctly, supports a USB protocol, USB1, but not USB2. USB 1 is not fast enough to support stereo recording at high bit rates (ie 24bit/44.1 khz). I was wondering if they bumped the spec up to the USB 2 protocol, whoch would allow manufacturers to design recording interfaces to handle the higher bit rates.
Thanks

What kind of USB hub do I need to sync this thing?!?

I have an 80 Gig iPod with a color screen, and I sync it to a desktop G5. If I plug the USB cable into the USB port on the front of the machine, everything works great. However, plugged into one of the USB ports in the back of the machine, I've got a D-Link USB hub. This is a USB2.0 hub with its own power supply (plugged into a power outlet). When I plug the iPod into this thing, the computer doesn't see it. I know self-powered hubs are no good for some things, but this has its own power. Why can't the iPod use it, and can someone recommend a high-quality hub that will make devices like the iPod happy??

All current Macs can use either a straight cable or a cross cable -- they will adapt to whatever you plug in.
For Gigabit Ethernet speeds, the cable needs all eight conductors present and all eight contacts.
Your Mac has the ability to serve as a lightweight Router when you enable Internet Sharing across Ethernet -- this can allow it to assign IP Addresses that "just work".

What kind of USB cable is required for the SX600?

I recently purchased the PowerShot SX600 HS point and shoot and it did not come with a USB cable. I tried various cables I have, but none of them fit the output on the camera. Is there a specification I can ask for when I go to the electronics store to purchase one?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Two small things: "Mini-B" also goes by the name Mini USB, to differentiate it from "Micro USB". It'll help if you're looking online where there are a gazillion cables.
And two: I would highly recommend getting a cable with a ferrite bead. It's a high frequency filter. I've used cables without them that functioned alright, but I've also had issues. If you're going to buy one, you might as well get one with the filter. Like this one (the filter is the little cylinder on one end):

Unknown USB Device in Windows - VISA does not see it

Hello,
I'm trying to connect my STM microcontroller to my computer using USB protocol and VISA software. When I plug STM USB device into USB port Windows sees it as unknown device and can not find any driver for it. I assume that this is situation VISA was created for. So I want to use a driver wizard to create driver for this device, but VISA does not display it in a device list. I tried to create and install driver for my device as if it was not connected, and installed created driver manually but it did not work.
Is it possible that Windows detects a USB device and VISA can't see it?

It actually depends what sort of USB device it should be. If it is a COMM USB class device, Windows should be able to pick it up directly as serial port, if it is some proprietary USB class, then you either have to get a driver installed and access that driver somehow, or create an INF file with the VISA driver wizard for it and write the driver yourself in LabVIEW using the VISA USB Raw interface. Without a very good description of the low level USB protocol however this last option is a complete no go.
If the VISA driver wizard doesn't display the device in the list then Windows has already claimed it somehow.

Media Go USB device music formats?

Well this isn't so much about my phone but other USB devices however I can't find any other sony forum to do with Media Go.
Anyway, in Medoa Go device properties you can tell it which format to convert to when the USB device does not support the format the song is in, but is there a way to tell it what formats the USB device actually supports?
It looks like it just assumes that any USB device connect can support both MP3 and AAC and that it can only support those two formats.
I have alot of MP3, AAC and FLAC files in my library, my phone and walkman work fine since they can play both MP3 and AAC and need the FLAC converted to MP3. However I also have a Yamaha AV reciever which can play FLAC from a USB stick however if I sync to a USB stick it converts all the FLAC to MP3 (or AAC if set to that). Is there any way that I can tell it for the USB stick connected to not convert anything and just to sync them?
Much in the same way my car stereo from USB can only play MP3 not AAC. So if I sync to a USB stick it does not convert any of the AAC files to MP3 it leaves them as AAC and only converts the FLAC files, and if I deselect the "encode only when require by device" the it encodes all the AAC to MP3 but it also renecodes all the MP3 files to MP3 which makes it take a lot longer as well as degrades the files.
Is there some way you can edit a Media Go program file that will tell it not to convery any of the files when it syncs or to convert files of a specific type?
I'd be nice to be able to just sync all 5 of my devices but as it is, it's only my two mobile devices I can sync and the other 3 I have to manually copy the files to the USB and/or manually convert each file before doing so which is of course time consuming and annoying.

The only thing you can set there though is under the "Media Format" tab which only sets the audio format that the files will be converted to if the device doesn't support the format you are transfering, there is no option to select what formats the device actually supports.
I suspect for all the Sony devices it knows all the file formats they support so its no problem, but when you sync to a plain old USB stick (which the device you use it on could supoort anything) it always converts FLAC files and it never converts AAC, like it's assuming whatever you are going to plug the USB stick into is always capable of playing AAC files and not capable of playing anything else except MP3 files.
The only semi work around is to deselect the "Only encode audio when required by device" which will then convert every file to the selected format, but as I said the problem then being it takes a long time since it converts everything and it also converts the files which are already MP3 (or AAC if you are converting to AAC). And that's no help if the device you plug the USB stick into can play the FLAC and other files and you don't actually need to it convert anything at all.
Surely there must be a config file or something that stores everything which you could edit to tell it that when connected to a USB stick to either convert none of the files at all, or convert only a specific format etc?

USB-device serial

The Admin Guide of ZESM says on page 91: "...ues the USB Device Audit report ..." for getting the right serial, vendor etc. But what is the USB Device Audit report? I can't find how to create this report.

The report is already created, you have to run it.
You'll find it under Reports --> USB Devices --> USB Device Inventory.
To use it, you'll first have to enable it under the Compliance Reporting tab from inside the policy.

Recognition usb device by measurment and automation explorer

HI
I have bought nrf24lu1-dongle from nordicsemiconductor. this is a
transciever with usb interface. when i attach that to usb port it will be
recognized by computer .and in my package there is a driver for that too.so
i think it must be a USBTMC device. but i can't see this device in measurment
& automation explorer. i have update MAX driver(install legacy driver support) after ataching my device to
pc .but no changes occur! this will occur for any kind of usb device like my
mp3 player(i expect when i attach mymp3 player to usb port it must be accessible in measurment & automation). is this problem related with the kind of usb port that i use? all
my usb ports are flat type(host) . or maybe my NI-VISA (version 4.5 is not a complete
package! and don't support USB).
with best regards

Hello farashi,
As noted in this KnowledgeBase article, the hid.dll file is from Microsoft, and you can find more information here.
I also found this really helpful nugget on programming USB devices that may prove to be helpful.Hope this helps.

What type of usb cord comes with the video ipod

i have looked everywhere on the package and the apple website and nowhere does it tell you what kind of usb cord is included when you purchase the ipod.
mine was defective and i have done an online reorder of the part...but during the process it asks you what the dective part was and lists a number of usb and firewire cords. I want to make sure i am reporting the right kind
thanks for the help =)

I think this is what you are looking for: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/70603/wo/oh4V5rg MunJy37pKa7C4Xniippe/1.SLID?mco=1B38A3A4&nplm=M9569G%2FA

USB Hub: What Kind?

I called the local Apple Store here in Walnut Creek, CA this morning and they had one in stock...standard configuration...so off I went and purchased it...obviously some stores have inventory.
I will need when I travel a USB Hub since I like working with a mouse and see myself at times using the USB ethernet adapter as well.
Do I need a powered USB Hub? I've read that the USB port on the MBAir is a bit different in that it supplies some additional power than a standard USB port.
What kind do I need?

The Squid looks interesting...but I see it is not a powered hub...I am wondering if that will work for the MB Air?
Mac Book Air has a single USB 2.0 powered port, whether it supplies enough power for all the devices you want to run off the hub may be another matter .

What kind of bluetooth dongle(usb) should I get to use my Magic Mouse properly?

My Mac Pro doesn't have bluetooth. What kind of bluetooth dongle(usb) should I get to use my Magic Mouse properly? I already have one, but it makes the mouse seriously lacking.

I keep the dongle plugged into the back of my apple 27" monitor so that means it is only 1 to 2 feet away from the mouse. Don't plug it into the mac pro itself if that is at any distance from the mouse. The closer you can keep the dongle to the mouse the better.
Do a smc and pram reset.
If all is lost, and you have xcode installed then you can do a bluetooth factory reset.
Note that if you should sleep your machine, power is off the usb's, so the dongle is off. This means you cannot wake the machine with any BT devices like the mouse (I use a wired keyboard). Also sometimes upon waking the machine the mouse does not immediately re-pair (maybe 20% of the time). So you have to flip its switch to get the system's attention.
While I do have internal BT, using the dongle disables the internal (at least for 2010 mac pro's).
And of course BT would go inactive if you pulled the dongle out!

What kind of data users are coping to their USB drives ..?

We need monitor what kind of data users are coping to their USB drives ..? do we have any scripts which can trigger the emails when the Data is copied to USB drives with File Name , size and location from where they are coping.
Please advise
Kris

If you want to prevent users from copying stuff to their USB drives the best way would be to force a group policy that prevents USB devices from working on local machines. There is no easy way of monitoring file transfer activity via script. What you appear
to be looking for is software which monitors your employees.
What you can do is list the USB Devices that have been attached to the system:
Push-Location
Set-Location HKLM:\
$devices = Get-Item 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USBSTOR\*\*'
Get-ItemProperty $devices |
Select-Object -Property @{Name='SerialNumber';Expression={$_.PSChildName.TrimEnd('&0').split('&')[-1]}}, FriendlyName,Class
Pop-Location

I have one HDMI port on my television that is currently used for my hard drive/free view box. What kind of adaptor can I buy so I can have the hard drive and my apple tv device plugged into the same HDMI PORT?

I have one HDMI port on my television that is currently used for my hard drive/free view box. What kind of adaptor can I buy so I can have the hard drive and my apple tv device plugged into the same HDMI PORT? Is it a switch or a splitter? And where is it best to buy one? Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You need an HDMI switch.
