Internal usb port?

I am looking for an internal usb port on the MAC pro motherboard. seems the Express 34/54 card requires a usb connection in addition to placing the card in one of the PCIe slots. The card manufacturer refers to the USB internal connection as an internal header. Not sure what this means but it would be nice to have an Express 34 PCIe card in the machine---using it with the new Sony SXS video cards.
any idea if the MB has one of these connections?

thanks for the info. as I explained, I was trying to install an Express 34/54 reader card into one of the PCIe slots on a Mac Intel. There are cards out there, but they come with an additional usb cable that you must connect from the card (mini-usb connector) to the mother board (a female 5-pin connector--single row).
another solution is to buy the external sony device for $220. (Express 34/54 to USB2) which is an external housing enclosing the same card with a supplied AC adapter. This format will be a major format in the future for shooting video, so I hope someone develops a cheaper solution.
thanks for the help

  • Apple USB keyboard does not work with one internal usb port

    Hi everyone,
    hope someone can help me to solve my problem. I have a MPB13 retina late 2013 since something like 3 months. I have additional screen (dell), usb wired keyboard (apple) and BT magic mouse.
    Since a few days, my usb keyboard does not work well. It only want to work properly when plugged to the rights side usb port internal port and not anymore on the left one. It also work on a usb external concentrator. Before, I had no problem, it worked perfectly. There was no problem such as cofee on it...
    After searching the web on such problem, I tries a few things such as:
    I tried the keyboard on another computer (windows): works fine
    I tried usb stick and external DVD reading on the left internal usb ports: works fine
    I switch the MPB off and turn it back on: the usb keyboard still does not work on the left usb port
    I tried the SMC and PRAM reset : nothing
    Any idea ??
    Thanks

    I'm facing the same problem, found any solutions ?

  • Using a PCI card INTERNAL USB port

    Hello to anyone reading this !
    I've just installed a PCI card in my G5 in order to add more USB ports. When I started searching for one, i was surprised to see most had an internal port, I couldn't really see the use of that. A friend told me it can be used on PCs to plug an extension towards a free port in front of the main unit.
    Considering i can't do this on my G5, I was wondering how to take advantage of this internal port and I'd like to know if I can plug my USB Bluetooth adapter, as it doens't need to be visible and it would free one of my external ports. The question is, are there some security restrictions regarding what you put INSIDE the unit? Isn't it too hot inside to leave the bluetooth key or anything else that is not designed to be inside?
    Does anyone have any advice?
    Thanks in advance
    iVince

    With all the airflow in a G5, I don't think heat will be a problem, but a Bluetooth unit probably will not be useful inside a shielded metal case. The Apple Bluetooth card connects to an antenna wire that goes outside the shielded section, but I don't think there is any way to connect that wire to the USB Bluetooth module.

  • MAC PRO Internal USB ports stopped working

    Hello, I have a mac pro 8 core with an USB internal ports problem, the 2 in front are not working anymore, and from the 3 in the back only the middle one is working.
    I tried to pull all the power out for a whole night, resetting the pram and nvram but nothing helps.
    When for example I put in a keyboard in one of the ports that is not working and when I power up the machine and I press the ALT key I get the choice of startup preferences, once I select one, and the system boots up the ports stops working, so before the OS loads the usb ports are working !!!
    What to do ??

    This is a hardware failure. While USB ports on the whole are just not designed very well, leading to their failures being pretty common, your issue sounds a bit more like the USB controller chip is failing.
    In any case, the answer is to take it to a repair shop. If they're smart about it, they'll replace the logic board and see if that also fixes the front ports. If not, they'll replace the front I/O panel as well.

  • 945P internal USB port problem

    Power exceeded on USB Port 945P motherboard - NO DEVICES CONNECTED
    Part Number: MSI 945P Platinum Socket 775
    CPU: Intel Pentium 4 640, 3.2 GHz
    Memory: Corsair 512MBx2 PC4300 DDR2 533MHz
    Operating System: XP Pro
    On the motherboard, I have added more external USB port (case mounted), these ports are connected to the mobo on the connector JUSB2.
    Now, Windows gives an error stating that the power has been exceeded and must reset or close the port.
    There is no device connected to these USB ports, only the wires that lead from JUSB2 connector to the case mounted USB ports.
    Did any of you had the same problem?? Thanks.

    Have you checked to see if the USB, that is mounted to the Front of the case has any Shorts?
    You might also want to remove the USB that is plugged into the Header on the MOBO.
    One more thing you might have hooked up the USB header wrong.

  • Adding extra internal USB ports

    I need to add more USB ports to my Mac Pro. Is it a case of buying a PCI Express USB card? They sell on Amazon for nearly £40, which seems high, but they don't mention OS X compatibility?
    Thanks in advance.

    Any will or might do, but many can also interfere with sleep, wake from sleep freezing, and other issues
    http://www.macsales.com has PCI Express cards.
    Aaxeon has USB2 but their FW cards are known to keep fan still running and therefore not "deep sleep" mode.

  • Tecra S11-15T - GPRS modem doesn't work on internal USB port

    My GPRS moden only works when I plug it into the dockingstation's USB port or if I use a USB port hub. If I plug it directly into the USB port on the laptop, I get an unknown device displayed in the device manager.
    I have tried re-installing the chipset of my Toshiba Tecra S11-15T. I cannot get the device to work directly from the laptop's USB ports. I have WIN XP Professional.

    Hi
    Maybe the USB port does not provide enough power to get the modem working.
    But all ports support the USB standards and every USB port is able to provide 500mA.
    Possibly the modem needs more.
    You can try to disable the USB power saving option.
    In device manager, click right on USB root hub and go to Properties.
    Then choose Power Management tab and uncheck the option; Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power

  • DSX-S310BTX Media Player: How Do You Need To Label mp3 Files On Flash Drive To Search Internal USB?

    I have a DSX-S310BTX Media Player.  I'm connecting a Flash Drive to the Internal USB port of this device.  On the flash drive the mp3 files are labled by Title, Contributing Artist and Album.  However, when a song is playing, the main display doesn't show the name of the song, and I can only do a "File & Folder" search by individual songs, but not by artist or album.  Is there a specific way I need to label the files on the flash drive to be able to search the flash drive by song, artist and album?

    Hi Triton,
    You may try renaming files in your USB flash drive by title of the song first.
    Thanks.

  • Internal USB 2 port

    Hello,
    Am about to install a USB 2.0 PCI Card with four external and one internal ports, in a G4 firewire 800, mirrored front, dual 1.25G.
    Any ideas as to what I might use the internal port for?
    Thanks.....BC

    Any ideas as to what I might use the internal port for?
    In a PC ATX case, the option for a front USB port or the use of a USB bay device is common.
    The internal port on the PCI card allows a connection point for these options.
    In *no way* does using the internal port disable any of the externals.

  • HT2801 Apple Store said that the USB SuperDrive would work with my iMac that already has an internal optical drive to be used as a secondary drive, but I can't get it to work when I plug it in the usb port.

    Apple store said the USB SuperDrive would work as a secondary drive with my iMac.
    After plugging into my USB port, I find it doesn't work.  Has anybody else tried this.

    Which USB Superdrive are you referring to? If this is the one:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD564ZM/A/apple-usb-superdrive
    it states it works with Macbook Air, Mini, or MBP with Retina display. If they told you differently, take it back for a full refund and show them their own website.

  • My USB port (closest to the screen) is not working? And what is an IR Receiver in my USB port?

    Hi everyone,
         I recently found out that my USB port, closest to my screen, is not working. Before I called Apple Care for help, I performed a PRAM and a SMC RESET, which unfortunately did not work. I called Apple Care and they help me troubleshoot simple resets such as, shutdowns and restarts. The representative I spoke with conluded that the physical hardware has an issue and must be brought to the Apple Store for a diagnosis. I called the Apple Store to at least budget the fee for getting a USB port fixed and it's about $300.00. I never dropped my macbook or had any sort tactile encounterment with hard surfaces by dropping or hitting. I don't understand how my macbook pro would be physically damaged. I then thought maybe my software was out of date (right now I am running 10.9 Mavericks) or I forgot to do the minor software updates, but I was at a lost again because my macbook is up-to-date. I searched for further help and found a way to monitor what's plugged into my usb ports. (I read in the apple forums that a girl had nothing in her usb ports, but upon looking at the System Information> Hardware> USB, that the macbook recognizes that there are drives in the ports) I looked at my ports; one is being used by wirless mouse (the port that works) and the other (the port that doesnt work) is being used by an "IR RECEIVER". Now, is the IR Receiver actually using that port and that's why my macbook cannot recognize other devices inserted into that port? Or is the IR RECEIVER suppose to be in that port and that the hardware for that port is simply damaged (which would mean I need $300.00 to get that fixed)? I know this is a lot, but someone help me?

    I can help with the "IR Receiver" part of your question. That's the piece of hardware inside older MacBook Pros (MBPs) that lets them work with the Apple Remote. "IR" is the standard abbreviation for "infrared," the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum used by remotes for many common devices (stereos, cable boxes, Apple TVs, etc.). The remote sends a coded stream of IR pulses; a corresponding receiver in the target device "sees" the infrared light and decodes it. The MBP's internal IR Receiver sends the received signals to the processor via USB through an internal hub.
    The most recent MacBook Pros have dropped the IR receiver and no longer work with the Apple Remote.

  • Unresponsive keyboard/trackpad and intermittent Bluetooth on MacBook...possible internal USB problem?

    I have a mid-2010 polycarbonate/white MacBook (model A1342) running OS X 10.6.8. My machine has been having issues with the internal Bluetooth and keyboard/trackpad randomly ceasing to function.
    Bluetooth issue
    As of recently (the past month or two), the Bluetooth adapter will completely disappear and eventually reappear on a random basis. It won't appear at all in System Profiler, and the BT menu says "not available". Also, I have had a few kernel panics recently, all of which were apparently thrown by a Bluetooth process/daemon/driver (unfortunately I forgot which one, and also lost the logs from the panics.)
    My system has a Broadcom Bluetooth chip that's part of the AirPort card, but is basically just an internal USB device. The adapter has some sort of integrated USB hub ("BRCM2070 Hub"), which the "Bluetooth Module" device itself is connected to.
    Nonetheless, this seems to be some sort of problem on the USB bus. Whenever there is a failure, I will almost always see output in Console showing USB errors (ie errors about "enumerating a USB device", "clearing port power", "setting port power", "getting port status", etc). It will either be on any of the ports of the hub at 0x6600000 (the "BRCM2070 Hub" that "Bluetooth Module" is connected to), or port 6 of the hub at 0x6000000 (BRCM2070's port on the internal bus, which the keyboard/trackpad is also connected to on port 3).
    I can post more/longer ones, but here's a somewhat short example of the error messages I might receive:
    11/18/12 3:18:36 PM kernel USBF: 7351.492 [0xcf9b300] The IOUSBFamily is having trouble enumerating a USB device that has been plugged in.  It will keep retrying.  (Port 6 of Hub at 0x6000000)

    Keyboard/trackpad issue
    There's also an issue where the internal keyboard/trackpad will randomly cease functioning (until I restart), often a couple of times a day as of recently. I've had this issue on rare occasion for a while now, but it's gotten more frequent. And more recently, the caps lock light on the keyboard occasionally turns itself on when I'm away.
    Both the internal keyboard/trackpad as well as the Bluetooth "hub"/device are connected to the same USB bus/hub. When the keyboard/trackpad die, I've noticed that there will be very similar messages in Console to those above and usually a Bluetooth failure at the same time. (In some cases, it seems to notice that the keyboard/trackpad isn't responding, then attempts to reset/reinitialize it...ie log below.) What could the root cause be...could it be the USB "root" hub/bus causing one or both of these to fail, or possibly a problematic device causing the other to lose connection? I haven't had issues with USB devices on other buses failing, though (ie no problems with external devices.)
    Maybe more out of curiosity than anything else, but I've been poking around for info on what might be going on with the USB (aside from the 0x66 hub repeatedly dropping/reconnecting and etc), but can't find much. There seems to be no documentation about the error codes (ie 0xe00002c7) that the hardware/OS are relaying. I even poked through the source for some of the relevant kexts and some reading on OS X driver/kernel programming too...might as well learn more about the inner workings of OS X
    Here's an example of some of the messages that I get about the Keyboard/Trackpad:
    11/21/12 2:57:22 AM kernel USBF: 1439.228 IOUSBHIDDriver(AppleUSBMultitouchDriver)[0xd1ff000]: Detected an kIONotResponding error but still connected. Resetting port

    Attempted fixes
    Unfortunately, my Macbook isn't under warranty so I'm mostly on my own. First I zapped PRAM, reset SMC, ensured OS updates are installed (still on 10.6.8), and threw out a few drivers/software that were possible troublemakers. Next, I tried running another OS/install to rule out software issues. Accordingly, I found that the BT adapter sometimes disappears on Windows 7 as well (just did a clean install). And finally, I bought a new AirPort/BT card and installed it the other day. That seemed better at first, but I still have the problem of intermittent Bluetooth and keyboard/trackpad.
    Problems/solutions?
    What might the issue be, or is there anything that may be worth trying? As I mentioned, I've reset PRAM and SMC, made sure it's not an OS/driver issue (it happens on Win7 too), and replaced the Airport card. The machine does have aftermarket RAM (from OWC, ~2 years old) and SSD (Crucial M4, installed September)...but it seems unlikely that either of these would cause the problem. There haven't been any accidents that would have caused physical or (to my knowledge) electrical damage to it.
    I also searched for any occurrences of similar problems, but could not find any that were applicable to the Macbook revision in question. There was a similar keyboard/trackpad issue on older Macbook Pros that was caused by stress on a ribbon cable...but that seems unlikely given the concurrent issues with Bluetooth as well as the different design.
    The only thing I can think of next is to possibly replace the cable connecting the Airport card to the logic board, and possibly look at replacing the keyboard/trackpad (topcase). Anyway, I'm worried that it might be a hardware issue with the internal USB controller/hub, which would probably mean that it's unfixable unless I replace the logic board.
    Any advice as to which of these might be a potential solution or cause of the problem? Or might I just as well sell it off in its current condition and replace it?
    Thanks all!

    Has anyone find a fix for this?  I've been using my Dragon Dictate headset on my MacBook Pro for about a year, and then today, when I plugged it in, I got this:
    4/16/14 10:01:04.000 AM kernel[0]: USBF:    47.766    The IOUSBFamily is having trouble enumerating a USB device that has been plugged in.  It will keep retrying.  (Port 1 of Hub at 0x4000000)

    4/16/14 10:01:07.000 AM kernel[0]: USBF:    50.269    The IOUSBFamily was not able to enumerate a device.
    Here is what I have tried so far:
    Reset the PRAM
    Reset SMC
    Verify disk (there were no problems)
    Repair permissions
    Boot with an external USB hard drive (which works fine on the "problem" computer) that contained an old SuperDuper clone of my hard drive from several months ago. I received the same "The IOUSBFamily was not able to enumerate a device" error when I plug in the headset.
    Tried to headset on another computer, and it worked fine.
    Plug in an external USB keyboard into the problem computer, and it works fine.
    All of this would lead me to conclude that it is a hardware problem. But it seems that if it were a hardware problem, the external USB keyboard and external USB hard drive would not work (which they do). If the problem were with the headset, it wouldn't work on another computer, but it does.  So I'm wondering if it's some sort of firmware issue…???????  URG!!!!!!

    Michael,
    Thanks. I haven't mixed down the audio or checked the number of tracks in Prefs. Good points.
    As far as a mixdown goes, I'll definitely give it a try, though I wonder whether or not the tracks will be recognized during mix down recording - given that you can't hear either of those segments in playback. Just have to try.
    Re the preferred number of allowed tracks - I'll go check as soon as I send this off, but I'm not sure that applies in this case, since the two Channels containing the segments that are pinked out are not in additional tracks. I should have mentioned that other audio clips and segments on the same Channels in the SAME tracks ARE heard in playback. As are two additional track in the 2nd Sequence. It's only when the two sequences are joined that the pink tinted segments can't be heard. Within the sequence the same audio cuts playback as they should. Thanks again &
    Best regards,

  • MacBook Pro (mid-2010) Internal USB HUB freezes/locks up

    MacBook Pro (mid-2010) wilth the latest firmware, etc.
    OS X 10.9.1
    USB KVM to share keyboard and mouse with another computer
    This has been working flawlessly until I upgraded to 10.9.1
    The KVM uses the Scroll Lock key to toggle the input between the two computers
    I switch back and forth many times a day.
    Almost once a day now, all my input to my MBP will lock up when switching the KVM over.
    The MBP track pad, keyboard, blue tooth Magic Mouse, KVM mouse and keyboard all become unresponsive.
    I am assuming that the interal keyboard/track pad/blue tooth transceiver are all tied to an internal USB HUB.
    The MBP is up and running and I can ssh into it.  The only error message in the log is that the mouse device coming from the KVM is busy and it will be disabled. I have tried to close the lid for several minutes and then re-open, but it does not resolve the issue. I have tried connecting another USB mouse/keyboard during this time and it will not work. I have tried kill -HUP on the usbd and USBAgent processes. Everything stays unresponsive. The only way to resolve this condition is to reboot the MBP.  Note: the KVM works find on the other computer when I switch it back and forth regardless of the state of the MBP.
    I am suspecting that when this happens it is some how disabling the internal USB HUB, which if all the other devices are connected through it, nothing no longer works (but maybe I am crazy with that thought).  Anyone have any insight?  Is there a way to reset the internal HUB short of a reboot?
    Thanks in advance!

    I'm seeing the same problem with a 2010 Mac Mini with IOGear KVM and MS wireless mouse. This setup worked flawlessly for years on Snow Leopard but started hanging soon after the Mavericks upgrade. I'm running 10.9.4, currently the latest release. The system usually hangs after a KVM keyboard switch from Windows on the other set of KVM cables back to the Mac Mini. ssh into OSX works fine but a shutdown hangs indefinitely. top showed no processes spinning. The 1st console message after the hang was:
    8/6/14 8:49:21.000 PM    kernel[0]    USBF:    1317978.201    AppleUSBHubPort: Port 2 of Hub at 0x6200000 about to terminate a busy device (Microsoft® 2.4GHz Transceiver v7.0) after waiting 10 seconds
    There were no other messages for hours before this. I'm using VM Fusion but I think it hung once without it running. The Windows 7 side of the KVM works fine.
