Usb Not Recognised On Os X

[mykdavies]

Any other Mac users out there able to confirm whether this is common/curable?

Moving stuff to and fro on the card-reader is getting lame already, which is a shame as otherwise I'm damn impressed with my Xmas present!


Here's the error messages I get in console.log when I plug it in - any clues there?
(This is 10.3.9 on a Powerbook)

when i got mine, i tryed USB (Mac os x.4 imac g5) and it showed absolutely nothing, your not aloe in your problem

It worked straight away on my mac mini, but not on my powerbook. It worked fine on the powerbook once I tried a USB 1.1 hub with it. Even though I can now have it working on either machine with no problems, I still find it simpler and quicker to use a card reader.

card reader is the best way unless you want to do a lot of work in terminal every time you want to format or mount your 2x. And you need 1.1 usb not 2.0

Your gp2x is probably absolutely unrecoverably broken. I suggest getting a PSP, or searching before posting.

I have an iMac G5 and could never get it to mount (when the gp2x was still alive). But I have heard that if you use the port on your keyboard, it will work because it is usb 1.1.

Never got to try it but it is worth a shot.

As reallynotnick said, use a USB 1 port and it will work, like the ones on the back of the keyboard.

Well, no problems on my powermac g4 "quicksilver" with 10.3.9 or 10.4.3. I am using an usb-2.0-pci-card and there is no difference between a card reader or the gp2x (with firmware 1.0.0 or 1.1.0) himself - there is always an icon on the finder if connected.

Thanks for all the responses guys, I tried it on my old iMac, and it recognises it with no problem, but I think a card-reader's going to be more convenient...

reallynotnick's advice is good to remember -- I checked and the Mac keyboard acts as a USB 1.1 hub, so that looks like another way round the problem.

Sorry to have wound Tara up, but the forum search returns no results for 'USB'
