Keyboard usb port no longer supports flash drive after lion installed

Why would this be the case?
Worked fine with Leopard and Snow Leopard.
Same everything except installed lion and now is says My keyboard ain't got enough power.

Lion is a new world.  Even the first few days have the CPU/HD very busy indexing all of the new files for Spotlight.
From other posts I read SL was a power-pig compared to Leopard, and Leopard compared to Tiger ...
I guess we just pay $30 and be happy we have not been "assimilated" into Billy-Borg's world yet ... yet

  • Remote iOS app no longer wakes iMac up after Lion install

    Hello there. I installed Lion on my iMac and updated iTunes to the (most recent) Lion-compatible version. I also have an iPhone 4 with the most up-to-date version of the iOS and the Remote app. I used to be able to launch the Remote app from my iPhone and play music from my iTunes library on my iMac, but if my computer has gone to sleep the Remote app will not find my library and will time out looking for it.
    I was able to remotely "wake up" my iMac with my Remote app (both from my iPhone and iPad) before Lion, but ever since I installed Lion I cannot do that. If the iMac is "awake", I'm able to connect with the Remote app just fine. It's only when the computer has gone to sleep that I cannot. Anybody else with this problem? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

    Unfortunately, no. I still have the problem. Although it seems to be happening less often (not sure if this is a symptom of more recent OS updates, both on the iMac and iPhone). It's infuriating. If you stumble upon a solution, please share!

  • IMac has stopped charging via the keyboard USB port when sleeping - why?

    I have a 2008 model 2.8GHz iMac with standard size aliminium keyboard. Historically, I have plugged my iPhone in to the USB port of the aliminium keyboard via the standard iPhone cable and when I put the iMac to sleep it continues to charge the iPhone.
    However, the keyboard USB port no longer keeps charging the iPhone when I put the iMac to sleep. The USB ports on the back still do, but not those on the keyboard. Has anyone else encountered this and found a solution?

    Although I have never connected my iPod to the keyboard in the past, I can confirm this behavior. Previously my Mac was an Early 2006 iMac Core Duo with the white plastic Apple Keyboard, so the USB hub in the keyboard was USB 1.1 and not recommended for iPods. Now I have a new Early 2009 Mac mini with the aluminum Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad with the USB 2.0 hub.
    I can confirm that, based on the messages/symbols displayed on the iPod;
    1. an iPod connected to the USB 2.0 hub in the Apple Keyboard charges when the Mac is awake.
    2. an iPod connected to the USB 2.0 hub in the Apple Keyboard is ejected and no longer charges when the Mac is asleep.
    3. an iPod connected to a 3rd party, non-powered, USB 2.0 hub connected directly to a Mac USB port is ejected but continues to charge when the Mac is put to sleep.
    4. an iPod connected directly to a Mac USB port is ejected but continues to charge when the Mac is put to sleep.
    However, Benjamin, if you read the the 3rd comment from the bottom, of the discussion thread to which you have linked, the poster states that Apple engineers have confirmed to him that;
    1. with Mac OS X 10.5.6 a new power management scheme was implemented.
    2. an iPod connected to the USB 2.0 hub in the Apple Keyboard is ejected and no longer charges when the Mac is asleep, is now correct behavior under the new power management scheme.
    The drawback is that folks in that thread are reporting that not only does the iPod not charge, but that it is drained of power.

  • USB ports no longer working after 10.4.7 update

    Hi, I ran the latest update (10.4.7) on my machine which is a G4 Quicksilver PowerPC. I have an Apple 17 inch flat screen display that has two USB ports attached. I had my keyboard plugged into one of the USB ports on my flat screen. After the update both USB ports on the flat panel no longer work! I can use the USB ports directly off the G4 itself and it works fine. Has anyone seen this issue? I guess I am stuck now until Apple decides to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    In my experience, the USB ports on the back of an Apple monitor can be re-enabled simply by unplugging and plugging back in the device in question. You might also check to see that the USB Monitor hub shows up in System Profiler. My Apple monitor USB ports experienced no changes in moving to 10.4.7.

  • How to fix the Superdrive from killing the keyboard usb port?

    IF the Superdrive is plugged into the iMac USB port, the keyboard USB port indicates that there is not enough power for the thumb drive or other device.  If the Superdrive is unplugged, all is well on the keyboard USB port.
    Any fixes for this?

    Hi there, I have the same problem on a 27" iMac: when the superdrive is connected to a USB port on the Mac, the USB ports on the keyboard seem to lose all power, even for a USB key.
    I called Apple and they told me to reset SMC, PRAM and VRAM but to no avail.
    I will try with another keyboard as they seem to say it could be a keyboard problem (which a very much doubt...)

    The 2009's didn't support sound on HDMI. That came in 2010. Are you sure it ever worked?

    No, and that shouldn't be done with an AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule.

  • Does the ipad 2 support flash driver ??

    Hi am wondering does the ipad 2 support flash driver ??? i purchased an adapter for that purpose
    if yes so how can i use it ? i mean how can i view my music ,photo and else in my flash driver via ipad 2 ?

    Any discussion of jailbreaking an iPad on this forum is against forum rules.  If you want to take the chance of bricking your iPad and negating your warranty with Apple, that's your choice.  But you're on own and won't get ANY support from us users who would never think of jailbreaking our devices.

  • Snow Leopard Bootable USB Flash Drive with Lion

    I'd like to create a bootable Snow Leopard Flash Drive, after upgrading to Lion. I have multiple Macs with some expensive legacy software and an Apple USB modem (32 bit) I use out in rural areas. I'm assuming this will be a viable solution - is there something I'm overlooking? Has anyone else out there taken this route?
    Thank you.

    That would have to be a fairly large flash drive in order to install OS X and any PPC aps on it.  You'd be much better off installing Snow Leopard on a separate partition on your internal HDD or an external one. (Since you have multiple macs, installing on an external HDD seems to be best.

  • After update to OS X 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro (2009) USB ports don't work at all after wake up from sleep mode; with 10.7.4 there was (nearly) any problem.

    hello,
    after update to OS X 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro (2009) USB ports don't work at all after wake up from sleep mode; with 10.7.4 there was (nearly) any problem.
    the used ports appear to be "killed"; the unused USB ports seem to work, but the Mac works in slow-motion.
    The only "solution" is to restart my Mac.
    - SMC-reset, PRAM-reset or repairing user rights had no positive effect; what is the solution - a bug-fix-update???

    I have a mac mini (A1283) with OS 10.7.4. Upon upgrading to 10.7.5 it did not start up again. Instead, the light was on and the hard drive did not start up. The light on the connected USB mouse was not lit.
    My solution:
    Cold start with Command-v pressed.
    This should start Verbose mode (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492 ).
    What happened on my mac mini was that the grey startup screen with the Apple logo appeared for a long while before the login screen came.
    Maybe Cmd-v set open firmware params and fixed some corruption.
    Anyway: my mac mini works again.

  • External hard drive stuck in keyboard USB port

    Hello everyone!
    Last night, I plugged in an external hard drive to perform my first TimeMachine backup on my iMac (Lion). I plugged it in the USB port of the keyboard (not wireless), but now, I can't get it out of there!! Even hubby couldn't unplug it.
    Any ideas on what the problem might be? We don't want to break anything...
    Thanks in advance for your help! :)

    if it's stuck then one could suspect that you connected it the wrong side up but
    if you did it of cause would not be seen as a driver in  osx
    otherwise one could suspect that the cable was somehow deform
    never heard about usb devices getting soo stuck so guys like your husbond cant pull them out :S

  • Mbp '11 : windows ejects keyboard and touchpad when safely removing flash drive

    If i connect a flash drive or an external hard drive, Windows will eject the keyboard and touchpad when "Safely Removing" any connected USB device, whether it be a printer, flash drive, or anything connected to a USB port.
    As a temporary workaround, i either connect an external USB keyboard & mouse and restart windows, or set the power button to shutdown and restart windows.
    any way to fix this?

    I don't get that with OS X, the light stays
    on at full capacity, i.e., it doesn't even dim, and
    it makes me feel that this is something that might
    call for a 'fix' in OS X.
    when you insert the drive it "mounts" to the desktop, right? in other words you can see it on the desktop?
    as everyone else suggested, drag it to the trash to eject it, or do it using the finder. once you no longer see it mounted to the desktop, it is safe to remove it, light or no light.
    i have usb/firewire drives which i made using internal drives and enclosures with power buttons that remain powered up once i dismount the drives. i eject them and zap the power once i finish using them, if i don't want to listen to the enclosure fans. in a nutshell, it's not OS X related that the light doesn't go out because it doesn't perform like the other OS, nor does it attempt to emulate it; they go about performing tasks quite diffently and OS X is much better ; ))
