2504 Mini-Dock shows Generic USB Hub on T400 with XP. Drivers required.

Hi all,
When you hook this Mini-Dock up to a T400, you see a Generic USB Hub pop-up in the USB section of Device Manager on XP SP2 and the Factory Preload.
There should be drivers for this somewhere but I dont see them even on the factory preload which was done sitting on one of these docks.
The PCI string is: USB\VID_04B3&PID_4485\5&36CF88F1&0&5
There are some compaints about USB devices being hooked up to these docks and not working properly and I am pretty sure that installing the proper drivers would probably fix this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Excellent, thank you!

Generic USB hub missing which causes Moble broadband, bluetooth, camera... not working

I've found myself in a bit of a problem.
My W510 no longer have any devices for the fingerprint reader, bluetooth, mobile broadband, integrated camera (and possibly some more).
When comparing the devices in "Device Manager" to another W510, I notice that many of the missing devices are USB devices, but also that the other machine have two "Generic USB hub" and I have two "Unknown device".
When I compare the two hubs and the two unknown devices, they have the same "Location" (i.e. Port_#0001.Hub_#0001 and Port_#0001.Hub_#0002) and I guess that the missing devices (bluetooth...) are "connected" to thoose Generic USB hubs.
If I delete (uninstall) the "Unknown device" from Device Manager and reboot, I can see that Windows detects my mobile broadband device, but during the driver installation they get "device unplugged" when the driver installation for the "Unknown devices" finish.
I've tried to update the driver, but I can't find any driver for "Generic USB hub"
Anyone have a solution to this problem? I really don't want to reinstall Windows, but I might have to do it unless I find a solution to this problem...

Found the cause of the "Generic USB hub" problem in C:\Windows\INF\setupapi.dev.log.
In that file it's clear that the problem stems from the fact that usb.inf is missing...
Now I've got to figure out how to get a working usb.inf without reinstalling the whole OS

Generic USB hub doesn't allow iMac to recognize external harddrive and iPhone.

I have an iMac (few years old) and placed a generic USB hub on one of the ports. My iMac doesn't recognize my external harddrive or iPhone cradle, unless I connect them directly to the back of the iMac. Are there hubs that work better?

Any of these hubs should work.

Belkin Network USB Hub not working with new BT Rou...

Hi,
I received my new hub to use with Infinity when they turn it on in a few days time.
I connected the new router to the ADSL and all works perfectly without any set up needed.
I installed (on my old 'sheep-dip' PC) the BT software, and now this test PC will not connect to any USB hard-drives or Printers connected to my Belkin Network USB hub.
The Network USB hub works fine with all the other PCs in the house - but not if I install the BT software.
(Which appears to be mainly adverts and a link for those too dim to type BT.com in a browser... ;o)
I am guessing that this may be something to do with the software blocking use of the new BT Router using its own USB socket as a Network USB link - as this is being saved for 'future product enhancements'. Is there anyway of curing this and still having the BT software on this machine?
Thanks!

Is this issue likely to go away when the Infinity service starts? - I am guessing not?

What is the best powered usb hub to run with 3 external hard drivers with high speedy?

Hi guys
I have a mac book pro, and I use 3 external hard disk, and 1 usb mouse and some times a sync my iphone and my ipad... It's really boring manage all this usb connections.

Which USB B/W laser with intel drivers?

Just looking to get a small USB B/W laser printer, trying to work out which one has 10.4.9 and intel drivers for my MacBook?
Can someone recomend one that they are using.
The Brother HL-2040 or Samsung ML-2510 looks good but seems to be using a CUPs driver !!!
Or the HP LaserJet 1022
Any of them any good, I dont need Ethernet

I highly doubt there is a laser printer out there you can throw at Mac OS that it won't handle with ease. My current setup is a Hp Laser Jet 4MP Connected to a generic USB->Parallel Adapter using the print drivers that came with Mac OS.
So I would pick based off printer features or price and not worry to much about the compatibility. Even printers that lack drivers can generally be run in a compatibility mode now that works just fine until real drivers become available even if they are through the gimp-print. Which out of the three you mention I would just be worried about the samsung the rest should work perfect right out of the box the samsung may need to use a generic driver or one of the other ml drivers from the gimp print project.

How to replace the installed Generic USB Hub to Generic Super Speed 3.0 USB Hub?

Hi I have a problem with my RMBP 15" USB PORTS (both are 3.0 physically). Most of the days I will use windows 7 home premium through bootcamp.
When I connect my WD My Passport 3.0 to the usb port, there will always a pop up saying "Your device can work faster if it connects to a Super Speed 3.0 USB Port and when I do file tranferring between these 2 devices I will only get an average speed of 30 mb/sec which is DEFINITELY a speed of usb 2.0. As the usb 3.0 will be able to transfer (in reality) up to 100 mb/sec.
I think there is something wrong with the drivers installed. Attached is my device manager showing all the USB drivers installed.
Please advise me on what should I uninstall and install and where can I download the drivers or firmware.
For additional information, my macbook in using Intel Chipset C216.

This is more for googlers/random people in the same boat, since the OP may not be checking this any more.
I have arrived at this thread from another angle: I downloaded 'SlimDrivers', a free and non-contaminated 'driver updater' Windows program which is heavily-reviewed, on CNET as actually GOOD as opposed to almost all other 'dodgy' driver update checker programs out there (like Driver Reviver, Device Doctor, and Driver Detective - not to mention the scammy and notorious DriverAgent, of course).
I hit scan, and a whole set of drivers - seemingly under the one chipset download (as assisted by this youtube run-through) - came up. It's extremely user friendly and downloads the installer for you right from within the app. I've yet to install the chipset driver and restart - fingers crossed - but I think it's the same driver as OP is talking about.
Cos I've also noticed, at least once, some sort of USB issue in the past which made me think "huh, USB 3.0 mustn't be working with the bootcamp driver eh?"
So *I'm* wondering, whether what I've stumbled upon is indeed the same matter as OP, and thus also, maybe is a solution to the OP question as well .

USB hubs quit working with 10.7.2

I have a Mac Pro, dual quad-core 2.8GHz Xeon, 10GB ram. Three D-link DUB-H7 usb hubs. After the update to 10.7.2 and iTunes 5.0.1 (not sure exaclty when), my usb devices & hubs quit working properly. For a while they would work occasionally.
I have a USB keyboard which works if it's plugged in directly when the computer boots. But other devices (external drives, flash card reader, iPod dock, USB display) don't work at all. I tested the hubs with another Lion system, and they work on that. iTunes wireless sync quit as well.
I've tried resetting PRAM and SMC. Neither fixed the problem. Tried repairing permissions. No change. Rebooting (many times).
Could it be a USB driver conflict? I removed VirtualBox usb drivers, as well as Parallels, but not vmware, which I also own.
When I plug in a device, I get 'trouble enumerating' and then "The IOUSBFamily was not able to enumerate a device." in the system.log
Any ideas? Is my motherboard dying? If so, why does the keyboard still work, and nothing else?

Followup info. I reset the PRAM and booted into 10.5.1, on another drive.
This time, similar behavior; HID devices (keyboard, mouse, bluetooth) work fine. Hubs (which work fine on another Lion computer!) generate a bunch of console errors:
11/19/11 11:21:31 AM kernel USBF: 746.706 USB Device IOUSBHubDevice is violating Section 9.3.5 of the USB Specification -- Error in GetConfigDescriptor( wLength = 4)

Need a USB hub to work with a multifunction printer

Can anyone recommend a reliable USB hub that can work with the HP Officejet J4580 Multifunction (fax) Printer? I bought a Belkin 7-port hub for my G4 FW800 laptop (OS 10.3.9) and it works with an older dedicated printer and a 2-year-old multifunction printer (no fax), but I just got a new Belkin 7-port to go with the same laptop and it won't work with the new multifunction, so I'll have to return it.
Any suggestions for a 2+ port hub that's reliable and would work with this new printer? AC- or laptop powered doesn't matter, though I'd prefer to have the AC option. Amazon's web page on this says it will work with all 1.0 and 2.0 USB devices, but obviously that's wrong, and I like not to make the same mistake twice. Thanks!

I'd have to agree with motsteve too.
Stay away from unpowered hubs, they are nothing but trouble or should I be more diplomatic and say that they do work for some devices but not all and some unexplained behaviour has been known to happen with them.
The same can be said of bus-powered hard drives.
Are you sure it is not a driver problem ?
Are you sure this MFP is compatible with the OS you are using ? Have you checked the system requirements first ?
I think the USB hub you have is probably fine.
If it is USB2.0 compliant and is mains powered then there is something else at work here.
1) Check the cables - try another if you have one.
2) Unplug the printer , turn the computer and hub off.
3) Reconnect everything and then turn on first the printer , then the hub , lastly the computer.
4) If 3) fails ,do the same again but in a different order.
I have had problems with peripherals not showing on the desktop or getting a " Can't connect to device XXXX " so I have turned everything off, unplugged them all, then reconnected and turned everything back on.
Once that peripheral is mounted once I generally find that I don't have a problem with it again.
I think it may lie in the order that the OS extensions load or something along those lines.

USB HUB POWER EXCEEDED (with mid 2007 iMac keyboard)

When I connect any USB 2.0 device in the keyboard USB port, windows vista (XP too) shows the follow message:
"USB Hub power exceeded"
But when I use the same kind of USB hardware with MAC OS they just run fine, with no errors!
Is there any way to bypass or correct this error in Windows?

Here's the basic XP troubleshooting document (from Microsoft) for that one:
One or more USB devices may not work after you start your Windows XP-based computer
But I've also seen it produced when a high-power USB device is connected to a low power USB port.
Are the keyboard USB ports on the iMac low power or high power?

I was re storing my iphone 4 something went wrong on my computer now my phone is showing the usb port cable icon with the arrow pointing to the i tunes symbol how can i get the phone from that mode ?

ok i was re storing my i 4 something went wrong on the process now i have my phone showing the usb cable icon with an arrow pinting to i tuns icon ! how can i get my phone to go back to normal ???

Put the device in DFU mode (Google it) and restore.

I need to find a powered usb hub that works with my Macbook pro

I've got a macbook pro mid 2010. And 2 usb ports isn't enough. Even with the powered hubs taht I have tried none will seem to charge my ipad 2. It only works if it is plugged directly in to the Macbook. So is there a powered usb hub out there that can handle having an ipod and and ipad plugged into them and actually charge these devices. Thanks in advance.

Yes. Google...

What is the best USB Hub to use with MBP?

Hello All,
I'm hoping someone can recommend the best and most reliable 4 way or better USB hub - Preferring self powered - for the Mac Book Pro.
I've tried a dick smith one and nothing seemed to work right on the mac.
Thanks
Brian Lord

Hi
Unfortunately we have not tested which other cables might do the job. Although it is not supported, the VIGOR 1120, has been tested for up to 200 ft; this other cable: USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Cable VE280306 has not been tested with National Insturmens USB boards but it seems it can handle USB 2.0 and 1.1.
I hope it helps

2504 Mini-dock and DVI?

I've been working with a 2504 minidock, and I've been trying to get numerous different DVI adapters (DVI to VGA), but the plugs never fit the socket. What kind of DVI plug does the 2504 require?

I have the exact same problem - I've tried several vga adaptors that came with video cards, but it seems the right side of the adaptor (the part with the flat metal piece) is too wide and will not fit into the DVI port on the back of the dock. Could someone please enlighten us?
Thanks!!

USB Hub to use with my new iMac

Here is a quick question, looking for some opinions.
I just got my new iMac and I am switching from my Macbook Pro. since all the USB (and the other connections are all in the rear of the iMac, obviously makes it difficult to plug and unplug devices. Do may of you use a separate hub or some other solution?
Looking for some ideas to set it all up right. Thanks!
Mark

You have tons of options, the only real question is if you need your hub to be powered or not. (ie: plugging external HDs, etc.) If not, it's up to you & your preference of functionality & style.
For my desktop for example, I use a long single USB extention cable which ends in a stand so the port is sticking up. This makes plugging items in & out easy since it's an up & down motion, not forward & back. Most of my perifs are already plugged in so I only need one. For my laptop though, I have a smaller footprint item with x4 slots on it (unpowered).
I say go shopping & have fun.
