There are a number of posts related to copying issues between Windows Vista / 7 and AirPort Disks. Two potential solutions being forwarded are: 1) Changing the LAN Manager authentication level, and/or 2) Disabling the Windows Search feature.
To change the LAN Manager authentication level:
From the Windows Vista / 7 desktop, click Start
Search for: security
Click 'Local Security Policy'
Goto Local Policies > Security Options
Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level'
Change level to: Send LM & NTLM responses
Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including RPC) clients'
De-select 'Require 128-bit encryption'
Click OK
To disable Windows Search:
Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features
On the right-hand side, click "Turn Windows features on/off"
Scroll down, and de-select "Windows Search".
Press OK, close all windows and restart.
A third "solution," that has worked for me, is verify that both the AirPort base station and the Win7 PC are using the exact same Workgroup Name. In my case, I use "WORKGROUP" (without the quote marks) for this name. From the AirPort Utility, you would enter this value on the Disks > File Sharing tab. On Win7, Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System > Change Settings > Change > Workgroup

Flash drive only mounts when connected through USB hub

I have a PNY 32gb USB 2.0 flash drive, when trying to connect the drive directly to my Mid 2012 MBP (specs attached) the drive never mounts, doesn't list in diskutil as an unmounted drive either, however when I plug the drive into a Micro Innovations USB Hub (old ~ 2002) the drive mounts (albeit slowly).
On my iMac (Mid 2010 I7) the drive works perfectly in the machine or through Apple USB Keyboard.
Any help?

Is that the only USB drive that doesn't work with your MBP ?
Everything else works fine?

Hello skkmmayer,
That is probably a lot of stuff you do not want on your iPhone. So this can be handled a few different was. For you current situation, you can delete the apps directly on your iPhone by holding on the app until it starts to jiggle and then tap on the X of all the apps that you do not want. The second thing you can do is before you sync with iTunes, look at the app section on your iPhone to know what gets transfer to it and you can deselect items that you do not want. Lastly, if you download content on your iPad and it is a universal app, you can actually download it directly to your iPhone by looking at your past purchases and download it directly from the App Store. Check out the articles below for more information if need further assistance.

You may have to force your iPad into recovery mode in order to restore the device since the update did not complete. This article explains how to do that.

Error message -1073807298 when connecting through USB

Hi,
I am trying to retrive data from an instrument through serial port as well as USB,
My vi works smoothly while connecting through serial port.
But when i try to connect through USB Error code-1073807298
is coming. This error comes when visa try to write to the instrument.
From visa configure serial port.vi no error is coming.
Can someone suggest a method to solve this problem...

I get exactly the same error code with a TCP raw socket connection, the weirdest thing is that I actually can read the result of the query. I fixed the problem reading one byte at a time but this is very inefficient (it uses a while loop) and I still get warnings, so I'd like to know if there is a way to fix this or if there is an equivalent of the "Serial Settings: Number of Bytes at Serial Port" for VISA TCP connections....
This is the WARNING that I get when I read one byte at a time:
Warning 1073676294 occurred at VISA Read in LV.vi
Possible reason(s):
VISA: (Hex 0x3FFF0006) The number of bytes transferred is equal to the requested input count. More data might be available.
This is the ERROR that I get when I set the byte count to 1024:
Error -1073807298 occurred at VISA Read in LV.vi
Possible reason(s):
VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF003E) Could not perform operation because of I/O error.
I enclosed the VI for your review,
Thanx in advance for your help,

Connecting iPhone through USB hub

I have a weird problem. When I connect the iPhone through a USB hub, nothing happens. It doesn't synchronize, it doesn't charge. When I connect the iPhone directly to the computer, with the same cable, it works as supposed.
The weird thing is, I have been connecting the iPhone successfully through this (powered) hub for half a year. But suddenly it doesn't work. Everything else connected through the hub works fine.

You're going to want a USB hub that comes with an AC adapter: the iPhone will draw as much power from the port as it reasonably can, and prefers up to 1 A (USB spec is 500 mA) at 12 V to charge as quick as possible. This tends to lead to undervolt situations on the bus when other devices suddenly draw more (a mouse wakes up, a HD spins up, et cetera).
I use my iPhone 3G with a dock on a USB hub that's powered, and have had minimal issues. This isn't an endorsement, just FYI.

Time capsule doesn't see printer through USB hub

I can't seem to get the TC to see my USB printer if it connects through a hub. I have an external drive plugged into the hub and I can plug it into any of the ports and the TC log file shows the disk plug in and unplug. The disk works great.
So far, the only way I've been able to print via the TC, is to connect the USB cable direct to the TC. But there's no indication in the AirPort utility that the printer even exists. Using System Preferences printer setup, I'm able to see the printer, add it and print a test page. At no time did the AirPort utility indicate that the printer was indeed attached to the Time Capsule and functioning correctly.
How do I get the AirPort to give me more log information? I can't believe that I'm able to print via the TC, yet the printers pane is empty, and nothing in the system log.
After doing this test, I again tried using the hub, and the printer is no longer visible on the Mac, but the disk on the hub is there. I unplug the hub and plug the printer direct, and it's again visible on the Mac. At no time does the TC indicate that the printer exists.
I do Linux system admin all day and bought a mac because it runs Unix for command line, and is supposed to be a "no brainer" to manage - a big plus as I really don't want to bring my work home and just use the computer. Sigh....
Macbook is running 10.7.2
Time Capsule is a new 2T unit
Printer is Canon iP4300

The thing that really bothers me is that when I connect the printer direct to the TC, the Mac sees it, but not the Time Capsule... ***?!?
Resetting the print system may...or may not....help here.

You are power cycling the entire network after you make a change in the USB connections, correct?
A powered USB hub will run $15-20 or so. Highly recommended.

How do I make my printer more secure while connected via USB to my Airport?

So a neighbor (a friend, fortunately) accidentally installed my printer on her computer via the network (her computer showed it as a 'Bonjour' printer) and started printing stuff, even though my printer is connected to an encrypted Airport Extreme.
My printer (an old HP deskjet 5550) is connected via USB to my Airport Extreme, which has a WPA2 secure password protecting it. Also, the "Share this printer" box was unchecked in the printer utility.
The DSL lines for me and my 20 condo neighbors all convene in the basement somewhere into one or several master routers.
I'm concerned about this breach of security (obviously) and wondering about security of my iMac as well. The iMac is connected to the base station wirelessly and has the firewall set to 'Set access for specific services and apps'.
I figured if the Airport Extreme has the WPA2 password set (and no one else knows the password) that no one would be able to gain access to the printer that is wired to it, or the iMac that's wirelessly connected.
What am I missing? How did this happen? and what can I do to ensure my network isn't visible or vulnerable to my neighbors or others with bad intent?

are there settings in the airport utility that you can adjust to make it unshareable from the router?
The "bonjourness" of the access to your printer suggests that your firewall is probably doing its job.
If your DSL connection is connected to the WAN port on the AE then the folks on the DSL side of your set up should only be able to see things on your LAN that you've set for 'access from the internet'. e.g. allow access to my printer/disk/... from the internet.
For printers there's an airport utility setting 'share printers over ethernet WAN port' and 'advertise printers globally using bonjour'. How's that set?

I just bought a new pc and My laptop can connect to it but my airport utility won't recognize it. Even though it does connect to the internet about every 15 minutes the internet shuts off.

I just bought a new pc and for our internet connection we have an airport express. My laptop can connect to it but my airport utility won't recognize it. Even though it does connect to the internet about every 15 minutes the internet shuts off. What should I do?

If you've not yet tried, unpower the AppleTV for a minute or so and restart - this occasionally corrects issues.
If not and the software update seems to have caused an issue, go to the Settings menu and choose to Restore it (this will erase all settings) to reapply current firmware.
Alternatively try to do so via iTunes:

Windows XP connecting Peer-to-Peer to Windows 7 with HP LJ 4000 through USB-2-Parallel port

I am running a Peer-to-Peer network and cannot connect my Windows XP computer over the network the 'quasi-server' running Windows 7 that has a connected HP LaserJet 4000 printer connected via a USB-2-Parallel port. The HP LJ4000 works just fine from the Windows 7 box (and serves ONLY as a backup printer) but connecting from either Windows XP PRO boxes will not work.
I have tried opening the Windows 7 Printers window and then updating the printer drivers, like it says it will, and that fails as well.
ANY suggestions would be appreciated!
Thank you,

Airport Extreme issue connecting through usb to freeagent external hdd

I have a brand new 15"MacBook Pro and am using an Airport Extreme for wireless internet throughout my house. That part of the system seems to work fine. My problem is that I want to connect both my printer and FreeAgent hdd to be accesses through my wireless network. When I plug in a 4 port hub everything seems fine (green light). When I plug in the Free Agent hdd the light immediately turns to blinking amber. In airport utility the hdd does not show up but I get a message which says "disk needs repair". If I plug the hdd directly into my MacBook I can can see it, read from it and write to it fine. I can't find anything that indicates that the hdd wouldn't be compatible with the Airport Extreme. Help!

You can access the AirPort Disk via normal file-sharing connection options, such as selecting the server from any Finder window’s sidebar in the Shared section. AirPort Disk uses two standard methods: AFP (for Macs) and Samba (for Windows or Linux).
Leopard accesses AirPort Disks through the Finder, just like any other network volume. Open any Finder window, and look in the sidebar for a list of servers in the Shared section. You should find your AEBSn.
To mount an AirPort Disk volume, follow these steps:
1. Select the AEBSn in the Sharing section of the sidebar.
2. To connect as a Guest user, you need take no more steps; To use a named account, click the Connect As button in the upper right and enter your credentials.
3. Double click a volume that’s shown to mount it on your system.
For both Windows XP and Vista, open the network browser by double-clicking Network on the Desktop. The base station name should appear in the Network browser.

Windows 7 (64Bit) Ultimate: K80 connected via USB stops in the middle of printing

Hi,
I recently got a new PC with Win 7 Ultimate 64 Bit. I connected the Printer through USB and all the drivers installed automatically. I was able to print.
However, if I print pages with just a little more data from time to time printing stops right after the first quarter to print and the printer ejects the paper and stops. Windows reports an error in the control panel by showing up the yellow exclamation mark.
HP Printer Installation tool just hangs, HP Print and Scan Doctor finds a prob in the printing queue and solves it after the problem has occured. However, the prob comes back very often, multiple times a day!
Some pages print ok, other (esp. if multiple pages) NOT.
Any ideas?

Hi there @OrganicMan
Welcome to the forums
I read about the printing problems you have been facing with your new Windows 7 system, when printing to your Officejet K80. You mentioned that the Print and Scan Doctor will detect an issue with the Print Queue, and fix it temporarily, so I would suggest that you check the guide below and try out all of the steps it lists, as there may be something else causing the glitch. These steps should catch the problem.
I hope this fixes the issue for you!

Windows XP detects iPod when connected to USB port but searches for Driver

Hi,
Please help on this. When I connect iPod to any USB port of my Windows XP system, it gets detected immediately. but the problem is each time rather than iTunes opening up, I get the windows Driver search window to open up and ask me to provide the driver for the iPod. I have searched the net but cant find the driver in Apple's website.
Please advise what can be done ASAP.
Thanks,
Dask
iPod Fifth generation 30Gb with video Windows XP

Hi Noir,
thanks for the info. But I think the ipod driver is not there in my system. Because i tried the ways mentioned in the link but windows cannot find the driver. Is there any way I can get the driver. then I will order windows to point to that driver file for ipod.
also note in the device Manager window I didnot find "ipod" or "USB Mass Storage". So I think it may be an issue with the USB ports too.
Please help...
