USB doesn't work

I cant get my USB to pull up anything. Is there a program that i have to install?

  • Anonymous May 11, 2010

    not sure what you mean by "pull up anything"



    USB is a connection type - a means of connecting a device to your computer (e.g. digital camera, printer, flash drive, etc.)



    what are you trying to do?

Do have the driver for the IBM? then use it. if you don't, then what about serial port or RS232. get a converter that is serial to usb converter with the driver will allow you to use your usb through serial port.

I cant download anything from the playstore.

ALTERNATE WAY TO TRANSFER PHOTOS AND VIDEOS TO A COMPUTER
If your photos and videos are stored on the memory card, then remove the memory card from the camera and insert it into an USB memory card reader. Connect this USB memory card reader and memory card into the USB port of your working computer. Your computer will see this as an USB Mass Storage Device or an external storage device; you can then open the folder on the memory card and copy the photos and to your computer. Memory card reader is a handy device and is inexpensive. You can copy photos from other cameras and you can also download photos off your memory card to someone else's computer without the need of installing any programs.

Computer isn't recognizing my Samsung PL120- Instructions have read that if you connect the camera via USB the program should automatically install. It doesn't. If i look under removable devices...

Use a card reader. Since your computer has a USB port, you can get a card reader that reads SDHC cards. This is exactly how I do it on my computer.

I wanna know how to download a audi device for my pc because it doesnt have one and i cant hear anything.

If your computer doesn't have an audio device, you can't download one. You'll have to get a piece of hardware that supports audio. Go to geeks.com, or amazon.com and get one of the USB sound cards. When it arrives, plug it in to a USB slot, install the drivers, and connect the output to some powered speakers or headphones.

How do I charge my Verizon Motorola Droid using the USB cable and my computer. I've plugged it into my computer, but it doesn't show that it's charging.

Hi,
Plugging it into your computer should be no different then using a charger...it still uses the USB cable.

Here are a few things to check...

do not try a USB port that is off your keyborad or anything that does not come straight off of the motherboard...the phone pulls too much power and it will not work...

Try a different USB cable... some will not allow charging but will still tranfer data...

Also check and see if it asks you to install drivers for your phone...if it does, you will need to have them installed to charge the phone...

My best guess is that you need a different cable...

My new samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 will not connect to my computer so i cant Put anything on the phone or taking anything off.

You need the proper drivers to enable your phone on your computer -

If this still doesn't work, Check your cable, as it's probably faulty.
On some phones there is an option for "USB mode" or "Sync with PC" - check that as well.

Mouse frozen which keys to use instead my lap top works how I am able to write now. My Desk top computer mouse is frozen?

If you were using a physical mouse (instead of a track pad), then try a different mouse.If you were using the track pad, get a USB mouse and plug it in. If it works, then continue to use the USB mouse. If no type of mouse will work at all, it is a software issue. If rebooting doesn't fix the issue, you may have to reinstall windows. If you are using a mouse with a driver that was installed using a disk, try uninstalling that driver from the add/remove programs window (programs and features wind on vista and later).
