First try a different USB cable. (It's a standard USB 2.0 A/B male at both ends cable; it's often sold as a USB printer cable. The cable should be 6' or shorter.) Try a different port on the computer; ports can fail either due to high or low current issues. Ports also fail if the cable is loose in the port slot. If you are using a USB hub, try a direct connection. Make sure that you are using the type B port on the sewing machine.
If you still have problems and the computer USB ports work with other devices, then try putting your embroidery design on a USB drive (note: FAT32 format and less than 4GB capacity drives are more likely to work). Check if the USB type A port works with the flash drive. These machines only talk to Windows OS machines.
If the USB devices fail, you may need to have the machine serviced. Fixing the USB port requires opening the sewing machine.
I hope this helps.

(The most common problems with all USB connections is a bad cable preventing full communication between the device and the computer.)
if you need to disable USB devices from working accessing your system or prevent devices from working on usb ports (USB port blocking) create the following Registry file.
open note pad and copy/paste the following 2 lines
when you double click the file it will disable all usb ports on your system ..and preventing anyone from installing or copying files to/from your system and usb devices will no longer work
to reverse this process/access do the same as above but copy/paste these 2 lines
Now when you double click the file it will enable all usb ports on your
system ..and allowing access to installing or copying files to/from
your system and connecting devices to your system.
This has been tested on WIndows 98/XP ..and may not work on Vista/Windows 7
You have not mention what Operating system is on your PC.
For Windows OS XP, you just have to install at least XP Service Pack 2 or higher... and the USB 2.0 ports will function. For Vista & Win 7 OS, the USB 2.0 drivers is in the Operating System when you install Windows.
First check the "Device Manager", for any USB Driver "errors".
There are 3 USB ports for your Laptop, check all the ports.
If you are using XP on your laptop, is your service packs up to date? For USB 2.0 port to function properly you got have to update a least Service Pack 2 for Win XP.
1. Have you check your USB port? Just plug in any USB devices eg. Flash drive, external HDD... and see whether the port detect the USB devices.
2. Is the USB cable for the Printer faulty? Try a new USB cable.
It sounds like you have a USB port(s) problem. Did you check them in Device Manager to see if they work ok? Did you try a different usb cable? You surely need Windows Service Packs installed in order to get USB 2.0 compatibility and speed. Without the service packs you will only get USB 1.1 compatibility and speed. But of course, the USB controller must be a USB 2.0 Controller before it can attain USB 2.0 compatibility and speed. There is no software that will make a USB 1.1 controller a USB 2.0 Controller. If your current USB controller is only 1.1 compatible, you will need to obtain a high speed USB 2.0 controller card or bus card. The easy way to tell if the current installed usb controller is 2.0 is to open Device Manager and click the + button next to USB Controllers. If you see the word "enhanced" anywhere beneath, then the controller is a USB 2.0 controller.
Note that USB ports (in your computer) and USB devices can either be "USB 1" or "USB 2" speeds.
While "USB 2" to "USB 2" connections are up to 480 Mbits/second,
any "USB 1" to "USB 2", or "USB 1" to "USB 1", connections,
will max-out at only 11 Mbits/second.
So, check that you have a "USB 2" device.
then check that you are connecting to a "USB 2" port on your computer.
Give more details about your computer, and your USB device.
Be sure that your Windows PC meets the minimum system requirements to use iTunes and iPhone. This is particularly important if you are connecting iPhone to your computer for the first time. iPhone requires a specific minimum version of iTunes. Ensure the computer's drivers are up to date iPhone requires USB 2.0 to function properly. Refer to the documentation for your computer to verify that the USB ports are high-power USB 2.0 ports. Try connecting iPhone to a different USB port, preferably a port that is built-in to the computer instead of an external USB hub. Connecting iPhone to your keyboard's USB ports is not recommended. In some cases, your computer's USB ports may become temporarily disabled or you may experience other software related issues. Restarting your PC is an easy troubleshooting step that may resolve this issue. iPhone requires two important pieces of software to operate properly on Windows. First, the driver must be installed; for iPhone the driver is USBAAPL.SYS. Second, Apple Mobile Device Support must be installed as a Windows Service. If these are not installed, see the Reinstall iTunes section below. Verify that the driver is installed by connecting iPhone to the computer and following these steps:
On the Start menu, click Run.
In the Open field, type devmgmt.msc and click OK. A list of devices will be displayed.
Scroll down to Universal Serial Bus controllers and click the small plus sign to expand this group. iPhone will be listed as either Apple iPhone or Apple Mobile Device depending on the version of the driver installed.
Right-click Apple iPhone (or Apple Mobile Device) and choose Properties from the shortcut menu.
When the Properties window opens, select the Driver tab.
Click Driver Details to view more information.
Verify that the Apple Mobile Device Service is installed and running using the Services MMC snap-in using these steps:
On the Start menu, click Run.
In the Open field, type services.msc and click OK. A list of devices will be displayed.
View the list In alphabetical order and verify that the "Apple Mobile Device Service" status is "Started."
If the status does not indicate the service is started, right-click Apple Mobile Device Service and choose Startfrom the shortcut menu.
If the service is installed and started, right-click the service and choose Restart from the shortcut menu.
If the driver is installed and the service is installed and started, check the Event Viewer for error messages.
On the Start menu, click Run.
In the Open field, type eventvwr.msc and click OK.
Do you have Windows XP and at least Service pack 2 installed.
Service Pack 2 comes bundled with the neccessary drivers for USB 2.0
In device manager under the USB heading you must have:
PCI to USB Enhanced Host Controller
In the list.
Hi,
this is a common error with operating systems and devices.
If you go into my Computer/system/device manager. And remove the installed USB devices. shutdown the computer, and reboot it. then try putting your USB device in.
What general happens, is that if you have had an older device in the USB port at any time, the port configures itself to this setting. options are to try another port on the computer ( some older ports only support usb1.1 )
ensure you have up to date drivers on the connecting device and on the connecting computer.
Hope this helps Mike @ Compurepair.
Try opening up the device manager and unistall everything in the Universal Serial Bus Controllers. Then reboot and let windows reinstall the USB controllers. Windows should now be able to recognize properly USB2 devices.
