However, as I said, "The drivers for a third-party dock or hub would be supplied by the manufacturer of the dock or hub," so Apple support folks probably won't know about availability anyway.

Support for USB cameras in VBAI?

NI have a free driver that allows Vision 7.1 to access USB 2 cameras. Is there anything similar available for VBAI that would allow me to use an industrial USB 2.0 camera?

The free NI-IMAQ for USB Cameras driver is meant to support simple USB webcams that use DirectShow. For machine vision or scientific imaging applications, most USB cameras don't have the performance or the features needed, like triggering. The primary "customer" for the free driver has been universities that use webcams in labs.
With that said, there are a few industrial USB cameras out there that can be used for machine vision. The problem is tha there is no industrial USB camera standard that covers them all (like there is with FireWire), so companies like National Instruments would have to provide and support different drivers and software tools for every indutrial USB camera.
A better solution is IEEE 1394 (or FireWire). They offer the same performance as USB 2.0 cameras and are around the same price. On top of that, almost every large industrial camera manufacture has a line of industrial FireWire cameras (including Sony, Basler, FLIR, and Cohu), and they all conform to the same DCAM (or IIDC) standard. WIth this standard, our one driver, NI-IMAQ for IEEE 1394 Cameras, works with all of them.
Vision Builder AI is designed to solve machine vision applications without programming, while USB cameras usually don't provide the triggering or advanced modes necessary for machine vision. Because machine vision and USB cameras don't usually go together, we didn't provide support for USB cameras within Vision Builder AI. My question to you, another_novice, is why would you like to use a USB camera with Vision Builder AI? Are there particular features in a certain USB camera that you can't find in other cameras? I would really like to know so we can get a better picture of how our customers are using our products.
Thank you.

Snes emulator for mountain lion with support for usb controller dongle

Hi,
I recently downloaded an snes emulator online and found that it does run the super nintendo game fine though it doesn't have support for the usb dongle for the controller. By any chance does anyone know a emular plug in or emulator for mountain lion that has this support for a usb joystick.

Thanks for the reply. Still curious if Apple did right by their customers as the support rep implied that they would. I can't confirm either because I discovered tonight that I can't upgrade to Mountain Lion yet until Mariner Software decides to make one of their products compatible with 10.8. Starting to think I need to find an alternative to their product.

No support for USB 3 devices on MBA 2013

When I bought the first MacBook Air (mid-2013) I was disappointed to discover that none of my USB 3 devices (external HD and flash card readers) worked with it. Then even USB 2 devices stopped working. I brought it back to the Apple store and was given a new unit. USB 2 devices work with it, but not USB 3 ones. Now, reading this forum and other discussions made me realize that Apple, in a typical Applesque fashion, released a faulty product and will not admit that it created a problem for its gullible consumers – the USB 3 ports on Mac Book Air are underpowered and thus unable to support many USB 3 devices. It is likely that much later Apple will release a firmware update that addresses this issue, once the complaints from user reach a certain critical threshold. But until then we, the Apple suckers, must wait and hope.

Ive got 96 hard drives, of various brands. Ive had no less than 50 of them hooked to the Macbook Air.
If you have a western digital drive (likely), try a different Hard Drive.
There are no USB 3 issues with the Macbook Air.
Again, you didnt mention what USB3 device you have an issue with.
*That link you posted is a year old and the OP hooked the HD to several other Macs and it still didnt work..., meaning he had a faulty HD.
Other mentions were oddball OWC enclosures with power issues, not related to the Mac at all, and Verbatim memory sticks
So, the post you make a link to isnt at all relavent to any issue with the Macbook Air, current 2013 or 2012

Skype Update Broke Support For USB Video Capture D...

We use video to USB adapters to integrate Skype into our classroom set ups and the most recent upgrade seems to have broken support for these types of devices. The only solution we've come up with so far is to downgrade to 6.1.0.129 and turn off auto updates (which is a band-aid at best). Any idea why Skype chose to do this and what might be the best way around the issue? The issue is with everything from cheap StarTech USB dongles all the way up to Black Magic Design's Intensity Shuttle. Our class capture cameras do not support USB unfortunately.

I believe at least starting with 6.2 the video support was being reworked in one way or another, possibly from the ground up. It appears a lot of compatibility especially with virtual video devices/overlays was lost. I don't believe that was intentional. The only thing you can do is continue to use 6.1 until a future release restores compatibility.

Cisco 4500x Support for USB

Hi,
Does the catalyst 4500x support any usb drive or does it need to be specific cisco
USB-X45-4GB-E
Cisco Catalyst 4500 4-GB USB
I have tried a generic one. Copy works but wireshark capture to usb0 fails.
Could it be that switch supports only cisco specific usb drive.
Thanks

Can anyone from Cisco confirm this?

Support for USB 3.0

Hello to everyone. I'm new to the Mac community as i just bought my first MacBook pro. The problem is i have a thunderbolt port but i can't dock anything to it since no 3rd party hardware is available yet. I also have 2 great USB 3.0 ports, but then again no drivers available so i can't run any 3rd party dock.
I used to work with 2 22 inches monitors on my PC so now that i'm left with my 15' laptop screen, it definately is a downgrade. I also need to use a wireless mouse and keyboard (i'm a musician recording inside a booth from where i can start/stop/edit my recordings) so there is no more USB ports available to plug in my piano.
I'm having a rough start with apple and i have a few questions.
1) when will the thunderbolt dock be available?
2) when will the drivers for dl- 3xxd be available?
I know you probably can't tell an exact date but an approximation would be appreciated.
Thank you

Apple Support for USB

Blessings to those who are able to reply with possible answers.
I am curious if anyone out there that does reply to these Apple Support Communities actual work for Apple, OR, is it left up to Apple customers to reply and come up with solutions.
Here is my current problem: I have spent days working on getting my two USB ports to work also. I basically use the USB ports for a wireless mouse and various flashdrives/memory sticks. I have a MacBook Pro 2011 Snow Leopard 10.6.8 I have tried software update, SMC and PRAM resets, battery reset, hardware test, creating a new user account....and browsing and reading numerous discussion boards.....awgh! I have stopped short of using my install DVD (fear of loosing data), upgrading to Lion or Mountain Lion (some fear of loosing an application that might not be compatible), contacting an Apple Store (AppleCare or whatever--live 2 hours away + fear of expense), and of course, trashing the laptop. Does anyone out there have any possible solutions? I see I am not alone. --A frustrated first-time Apple products owner.

You really shouldn't have to buy a 3rd-party modem.
One of the other links on Apple's Discussion Boards lists how to issue "Terminal" and "Finder" commands to have the Apple USB Modem work in 32-bit kernel-mode (which, as Larry from VA notes involves holding-down the "3" and "2" keys when booting).
But to set this up you need to be in 64-bit kernel-mode, apparently.
You should also use the EXACT version of the driver specified in the link (not a newer one, as I did (it didn't work)).
Note also that the link specifies the modificaiton dates of the drivers in European format (dd/mm/yy).
If you have a Time Machine backup that goes back far, you may not need to use the "Pacifist" app to extract the old files.
Under Lion, use "Applications":"Utilities":"System Information":"Software" to verify if you are booted into 64-bit mode -- "64-bit Kernels and Extensions" should say "yes"; otherwise you are booted into 32-bit mode -- "64-bit Kernels and Extensions" should say "no".

Is there no labview2010 support for USB 8451?

I bought this USB-8451 recently... however I am astonished to find that there are no SPI/I2C supporting vi's for labview 2010!!!! is it true or I am makin mistakes finding the USB-8451 related vi's
Now on LabVIEW 10.0 on Win7

Did you do an install of the device driver DVD AFTER installation of LabVIEW 2010? And make sure to go in the component selection and to enable installation of the NI 845x drivers.

No BIOS support for USB? Cannot boot from USB HDD

Hi,
I was attempting to install a couple of operating systems (Linux, Windows Vista CTPs) on my external hard disk (USB 2.0, Firewire). And I cannot seem to - because there does not seem to be any way to specify USB device support in your boot sequence. It seems the BIOS configuration is limited to these 5 basic icons (no text underneath to even let you know what they stand for) - which seem to stand for HDD, CD/DVD, network, etc, but no USB hard drives (I don't believe FDD counts)?
Windows Vista's installation for example complains that the BIOS does not support booting off my external hard disk - as does linux.
Or am I missing something . . . ?
Regards,
-krish

Hi Krish
As far as I know it is not possible to boot from external HDD. If you want to install more different operating systems you can do it directly on the notebook HDD or even install them as virtual machine. I use VMware Workstation and I have install two different operating systems there (W2K and Linux).

How do i express my support for firefox and my disaproval for your CEO? He needs to step off 4 FF move forward, BYE,if push/shove take friends wt me

I'm gay. FF, CEO is a bigot ,who financially, supports GOP efforts, to deny freedom and civil rights to Gay Comunity. I always thought FF was about a responsible company with an eye on the future and inclusion? Disappointed, and sadly, about to move on. I cant support injustice. Been a FF user since about 06-07', turned tons of friends on to Mozilla, love it. Sad day, I love products, but time for open minded CEO. Peace

A update:

He was not forced to step down by board as it was his own choice to do so for Mozilla and communality.

[SOLVED] Driver for my USB Wireless LAN Adapter

I have a USB Wireless LAN Adapter for my desktop so I can share the network at home with others，but I found that I can only use my USB Wireless LAN Adapter in install environment. The driver for USB Wireless LAN Adapter just disappear after installation，the operating system could only identify the device but could not drive it.
Are there some packages not install for this problem or some configuration of the system is wrong?
thanks

have you searched the forums? There are a bunch of threads on the ath9k module not working correctly with the latest kernel.
That's why it works in the live cd environment but stops working once you update and login to your actual installation.

USB wifi dongle/adapter - any recommendations?

My PC Card slots are borked, so I need to go with usb for wireless. Anything 11g that I've found is either not linux-friendly (I want to go native, not ndiswrapper) or USB 2.0 (not possible on my 5-year-old Dell) or both.
So my current thinking is 11b, second-hand, either prism2 or atmel. Does anyone have any relevant experience to share?
TIA

I'm using a Netgear WG111 for my laptop, which, like yours, also doesn't have support for USB 2.0. It works very well using ndiswrapper. Like phrakture said, there's really nothing wrong with ndiswrapper. For a prism2 driver device, I've also used the Netgear MA111 for both my laptop and my TiVo. I sometimes had trouble getting it to connect to WEP encrypted access points, but that's probably due more to the fact that I'm an idiot, rather than some deficiency with the MA111 or the wlan-ng drivers. Both of these are wicked small and I got them for less than $20. I highly recommend either one of them.
