3 USB ports too shallow for USB 2 connections

I have a new HP Pavilion dv6t-6100 CTO. The laptop has two 3 USB ports (two USB 2 ports). Each device/device USB 2 cable I plug to one of the 3 USB ports plug far enough. The smallest movement of the appliance or the cable is disconnected from the system. What I've read, USB 2 connectors are supposed to work on 3 USB ports. Has anyone else seen elsewhere? If so, were you able to solve the problem?

I solved the problem, but do not know why the solution worked. I decided that if the USB 2 connector does not far enough in Socket 3 USB, the USB 2 connector should be too long. I took a junker USB cable and filed down to the upper part of the connector. When I inserted in socket USB 3, he went inside. I unplugged the junker and plugged the cable USB 2 of origin. It went as if by magic at bottom! I tried the USB cable in the USB 3 port 2nd and he went only all 3/4ths of the way. Plugged my junker cable into the port, disconnected the junker and plugged the unmodified USB cable... and it went all the way. The two ports are now (at least with USB 2 devices). Couldn't tell you what a shortcut connector plug has to do with but fixing it.

  • How can I disable a VM pref retroactively or by substitution of policy? (for example on stop USB auto connect)

    I'm using VMWare Workstation 7. We have a problem that I met in a large number of virtual machines is that they didn't 'Automatically connect new USB devices' disabled when their snapshots have been created. Although I can disable this preference in future from the virtual computer, disabling the preference power and take another cliché, it's a great nuisance. Is it possible that I can replace all the VMS I load and resume on my system basically by default that the preference off, regardless of the way in which an individual VM may be set, essentially the substitution of the individual preference?

    It has become very annoying. I had all these clichés with auto USB active connect. I could disable the vmware USB cross on the host completely, but I still need USB. I just don't want to connect devices automatically.

    If there is a way to replace the policy, I would also like to add something like bios.bootDelay = "5000" as a preference of substitution so that all virtual machines running snapshot would use this preference.

    Thanks for any help or idea that you can offer

    WoodyZ thanks for your help. I was able to stop the new devices to be autoconnectée. I looked in the vmware.log for some of my virtual machines. Workstation search three configuration files:

    DICT - USER default C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\VMware\config.ini

    DICT - C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Workstation\config.ini default HOST

    DICT - GLOBAL SETTINGS C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Workstation\settings.ini

    First, I tried the HOST file. I've added:

    USB. Generic.AutoConnect = "FALSE".

    It worked, but only if the vmx file does not explicitly mention the opposite (in other words, there is no substitution). AutoConnect is by default TRUE, many vmx files won't that explicitly in the file vmx is always a good solution to stop the automatic connection of new devices. But for example I put in a file vmx usb.generic.autoconnect = "TRUE" , and even with autoconnect defined in the file HOST " false", autoconnect is always enabled when I came to the virtual machine.

    Then, I moved this line between the HOST and the GLOBAL configuration file:

    USB. Generic.AutoConnect = "FALSE".

    That seems to work as a substitution. I tried several times to confirm, the VMWare Workstation 9 closing and reopening. Whenever I took a virtual machine, although it was usb.generic.autoconnect = "TRUE" in the vmx file, the automatic connection of new devices has been disabled. Is why it seems the correct way to override and disable usb.generic.autoconnect no matter how it is defined in a vmx file is to place the preference in the GLOBAL file. Note that changing that option prevents only against the new devices being autoconnectée; in other words, it prevents the devices that do not already have a login entry automatic explicit device in the file like usb.autoConnect.device0 vmx, usb.autoConnect.device1, etc.. Also note that when a virtual machine is interrupted the USB controller "connects automatically new USB devices" in the GUI can still see the verified, but when the virtual machine is resumed, it will be disabled.

    Stop autoconnect entirely: I have experience implementing usb.autoConnect.device0 = "" global config and who can stop a device with a usb.autoConnect.device0 entry in the vmx file to be autoconnectée on the resume. " And once the virtual machine is resumed the device can still be connected manually. (Although there will be a warning on connect "the value of usb.autoConnect.device0 cannot be redefined" so maybe it's not ideal). If someone wanted to expand this idea they could add a line for each up to usb.autoConnect.deviceN with N being all that is the max. Anyone know what it is?

    If someone who reads it isn't aware of any piece of data that really makes a recommended to contain malicious software on a virtual computer then this information must be added. I don't know that if many people is aware that if your virtual machine is the active window and you plugin a key USB and VMWare tools is installed on the client, then the default player is autoconnectée at the prompt.

    I am also playing with adding other prefs from different files; like right now I've got bios.bootDelay = "5000" in my HOST file and that works for delaying my VMs to start in 5 seconds to make it a little easier access the BIOS.

  • 7520 photosmart e - all in a single USB Mac connection

    I created my printer yesterday afternoon. It prints very well. It is connected with a USB cable. I don't want to use wireless. It prints very well yesterday. This morning the light blue wireless was done. And, of course, it will not be printed. Again, it is obvious to me that the wireless is problematic. A USB cable must be infallible, right? Yet whenever I send a print order, it says the printer is not connected, although it is.

    I use a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.7.5. I don't want to update the system at the moment.

    Hello JamieChavez,

    Welcome to the HP Forums.

    I see you have some connectivity issues with the wireless and usb connection.

    I have some suggestions that we can try to solve this problem.

    First of all, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a bar/power strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer for example, but it is intended for HP products in general. Please click the link which explains the problems when connected to an uninterruptible power supply/Strip/surge protector power.

    I see you have some doubts about upgrading the operating system on the Mac.  Just to let you know that you don't have to.  I found a driver package and the software that is your operating system.

    First step, I suggest that we take is to remove the usb cable from the printer and Mac and leave disconnected.

    For a wireless connection, make sure that the printer is between 4' - 20' between the router and the Mac.

    Please click on the following link for instructions on How to reset the printing system.  Once the reset is complete, please click the following link for instructions on how to repair disk permissions.

    Once the first two steps are completed, click on the link for HP Photosmart 7520 e-all-in-one printer full feature software and drivers - Mac OS X v10.6, v10.7 and v10.8.  The installation will give you wireless or usb connection options.  Please note that you can only use one or the other NOT both.  If you lose a wireless connection, you need to change the driver and software to connect with usb. It won't automatically and this is where you might have problems with the usb connection.

    Feel free to write me back anytime if you have questions or concerns,

    See you soon,.

  • USB not connected

    I have a C4280 "All-in-One", printer/Scanner/Copier for years.  He ran very well with MAC OS Tiger and snow leopard.

    Now, I've updated for Lion. (10.7.2) I can print and copy.  I can't scan.  When I try, I get the error message "USB not connected".

    (USB cable is connected, of course)

    I've updated all my software with Mac software update - although I check I have to correct driver for Lion?  I don't see it anywhere.

    I tried to 'uninstall' all my software driver with the uninstaller provided with the driver.  Also, I did everything drag in my trash.  Then I tried to update all the software again (via Mac).  No update.

    Any help would be appreciated!  Thank you!  Jocelyn

    Hello

    The software is currently available for your device via Apple Software Update.

    Don't forget that the HP scanning Application is not compatible with Lion and you need to analyze using module Apple ICA (preview, Capture of Image or print & Scan), as you can see below:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02911238

    The preview and Capture of Image are located in the Applications folder.

    So, you can use the scan tab located under system preferences > print & scanning.

    If recover updates fails for any reason, you can download and install the HP printer software 2.8 below, then you should be able to scan by one of the above methods:

    http://support.Apple.com/downloads/DL907/en_US/HPPrinterDrivers2.8.dmg

    If still face you any problem, please check the key USB is directly connected to your Mac and not via a USB hub or extention.

  • ICloud sync broken between Yosemite (too old for El Capitan) Mac and iOS9.3 on devices, for all Apple applications. Any solution?

    Since that is new iPad and iPhone one last week, with iOS 9.3.4, I can't rely on iCloud (iCloud Drive) for synchronization between these devices and my iMac on docs or entries that I create in Pages, Numbers, calendar, Contacts, Notes, reminders.

    With no synchronization goes, I am now frustrated with Apple based applications.  The only solution is to buy a new iMac that can do El Capitan for iCloud to synchronize?

    My 2008 iMac cannot go beyond the latest version of Yosemite.  Even apps that I continue to use without problems - except iCloud who can't do what it should.  According to me, only yosemite on the iMac in 2008, was made bankrupt by the last iOS.

    That's the problem - unless someone has found a workaround.  Without a functional iCloud, sync that I've been waiting for has disappeared.  I need to change how to manage what I do on the devices and the computer.

    I would like to find a way to "merge" safe documents created in these applications on both devices and the computer. Initially a merger will have duplicates.  I can't let the docs on any device replace the docs on the other.

    To avoid any loss of docs on any device and computers, I'm afraid to try to use iTunes.  So I won't try it.  Maybe I need to go "manual" and look at the files on each and do the merge manually, by sending an e-mail.  Help!  I discovered this by accident and now that I look closer I see that synchronization does not occur.

    between Yosemite Mac (too old for El Capitan)

    Any Mac that can run in Yosemite can run El Capitan. Early 2008 iMacs can run El Capitan.
