10.4.11 usb related hangs on macbook pro w/alum keyboard

Ever since upgrading to 10.4.11 & a new aluminum keyboard (+ mighty mouse) my system is VERY unreliable hanging almost daily or repeatedly... It is very troubling & surprising - these are the only two changes... Wake from sleep has had issues as well such as hanging my macbook pro 2.0 & my 30" display not waking even if the macbook has. Sometimes when rebooting I must use the macbook keyboard & then unplug & replug the external usb keyboard w/mightymouse to get it to work - my old plastic keyboard does not seem to exhibit this issue although I can't be certain...
I've zapped the pram, repaired permissions, run disk first aid & tech tool deluxe without issue...
Thoughts appreciated! Thx!

Definitive there will never be, because each person's configuration is slightly different, and contributing factors could cause the demise of an update. The only way to eliminate uncertainty is to backup your data*:

That way, if something does go wrong, you can restore your backup.

  • Can I use an USB disc with my macbook pro bought in 2005.  What capacity will it take 2.00 or 3.00?

    can I use an USB disc with my macbook pro bought in 2005.  What capacity will it take 2.00 or 3.00?

    The first MacBook Pro's were not released until the beginning of 2006, and they had USB 2 ports.
    Anything available new in 2005 would have been a PowerBook G4 and they also had USB 2 ports.
    A USB 3 disk will just transfer data slower then it could do, if you plug it into a USB 2 port though, so you can buy either.

  • My USB port on my Macbook Pro stopped working and i tried the SMC reset and the one closest to the SD port still continues to not work. Is there anything i can do besides bringing it in?

    I would do another SMC reset. If nothing changes you should take the computer in to an Apple store for a free diagnostic. You should make an appointment.

    Cannot get iPad 2 charged beyond 1%.  All charging ports tried: AC adapter(s), USB 2 port on MacBook Pro. ITunes shows iPad only for a few seconds. iPad displays alternately: Apple logo, battery w/slim red band, then battery w/1% charged information. How can I get it to charge beyond 1% so I can proceed to troubleshoot?

    I have had your exact problem with my old 3GS, now I cannot even get it to turn on, I still see that it is supposed to be charging though, but it never charges any so it seems.
    I replaced the Lower Dock Connector Assembly back when it still charged while hooked to my PC, and it found it made no real difference.

    At this point I am not sure if I should replace the battery and hope for the best, or just junk the phone, I cannot really sell it if I cannot reset it...

    QuestionWhy can I no longer use my exterior speakers connected to the USB port on my MacBook pro ?

    Have you checked the Sound Preferences under the System Preferences and set it to USB speaker for the sound output? Sometimes it can change on its own or after and update of an App or the OS?

    It is against TOU to speculate on these message board.  Suggest you post your question on the Mac Rumors site.
    As I already stated, there is no 10.6.8 update.  If there was, it would be listed in Software Update.

  • Can I hook up 2 USB headsets to me Macbook Pro?

    Can I hook up 2 USB headsets to me Macbook Pro (running v.10.9.2)?

    Are you looking through Thunderbolt? You can do it on your model with 2 Thunderbolt displays according to Apple Support document;
    Thunderbolt-capable Macs, with discrete AMD Radeon graphics can support up to two connected Apple Thunderbolt Displays.
    MacBook Pro (15-inch and 17-inch, Early 2011)
    iMac (Mid 2011)2
    Mac mini (Mid 2011), 2.5 GHz3
      Two Thunderbolt display
    Here is a third party that does it also;
    Matrox DualHead2Go DP Edition or TripleHead2Go DP Edition. Pricey though.

  • USB ports in my macbook pro stop working

    For a few months now the USB ports in my Macbook Pro stop working. The mouse is unable to move the pointer, therefore, I have to use the trackpad to select things. Then, when i try to shut it down it refuses to shut down, so I have to hold the on/off button to turn it off. When I turn on the laptop, the problem goes away. It's been happening more often for the last few weeks. Is there a problem with the software or is it the fact that I never used a base to raise the laptop, until recently, to let air in below so it doesnt heat up so much?
    Any help is appreciated.

    I have usb driver in may macbook pro 15 retina. When I installed windows 7 and try to download windows support into a CD, boot camp always said it couldn't find my usb driver. My mac version is 10.8.3

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Install the Windows support software from the USB drive. Note that Boot Camp Assistant, in OS X 10.8.3, doesn't support the option to burn the Windows support software into a disc.
    Instead, you can try a different thing. Start in Windows and download the Windows support software in it > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638 Then, decompress the file and run the Boot Camp drivers installer.
    If you can't access to the Internet in Windows, start in OS X and download the Windows support software from the same link. Decompress the file, right-click the folder which will show up after decompressing the file and select "Burn". Finally, start in Windows and install the Boot Camp drivers
