Adding usb port on ultra10 running solaris 8?
Will any PCI based USB card work on an ultra 10?. If so can anyone
provide details?.
Thanks,
Mts
Most likely, because your Mac and iPhoto think that you have connected a camera or mass storage device that has images on it.
Not sure where to go from there, but I would start by looking at the setting in both iPhoto Preferences and Image Capture if I wanted iPhoto to ignore that device.

Hi,
i was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to fit more usb ports in the back of the Mac Pro?
I got my mac pro about 4/5 years ago, and could really use some more ports.
Thanks for any help and advice,

What's wrong with using a hub?
A few things:
With a hub, all devices must share the bandwidth of the one built-in port the hub is on. If one device on the hub takes up all the port bandwidth, too bad for the others. Or they will fight it out. But with most types of USB cards, each individual port on the card gets full USB bandwidth...no conflicts.
You need to use up a built-in USB port to plug in a hub, so adding a 4-port hub only gives you 3 more new ports in reality. With a USB card, all card ports are in addition to the Mac Pro ports.
A hub needs to take up one more outlet on your power strip. Or two or three outlets if it has a big transfomer. A USB card uses the Mac Pro power supply directly with no additional messy power and data cables.
A hub probably doesn't cost that much less than a USB card, if there is any price difference at all, yet the card has so many more advantages.
About the only reason to not get a USB card is that you've already used up the slots in your Mac Pro. -
Has anyone ever had a problem with using a powered USB hub? One of the guys from tech support told me that it might create a conflict with the power in the existing port, especially if the hub had more power than the installed port. But others have said they've never heard of such a thing. Anyone have any experience with this? Two of my USB ports have decided to quit working, and it would be nice to have more, but I don't want to blow out my only remaining port. Any comments are appreciated.
Stephen,Never heard of that conflict. Two of the iMac's ports are powered seperately to the third (I believe the third is powered with the modem instead).
A trick we usually advice for dead Firewire ports is to switch off the iMac and disconnect from the mains electricity for a long period (few hours) this has been known to bring ports back to life. I recently read (from a forum regular - who I would credit but whose Alias escapes me at this moment) that this worked for USB and not just Firewire.

I have an iMac 1.33 GHrtz PowerPC G4, and obviously have only 2 USB ports and one Firewire port on my laptop. I use an external hard drive, (USB), and I have recently got some computer DJ equipment which requires me to use 2 USB ports, however, I run all of my music from my external hard drive, which only allows me to have one spare USB port. I have tried using a USB splitter, (one of those little things that has like 4 USB ports that you plug into a USB port on your iMac), but to my disappointment, my iMac wouldn't recognise the multiple USB devices. I'm wondering if there is anyway I can adjust my settings to allow this, or if anyone knows if I can use some sort of USB to Firewire switcher on one of my devices, (unlikely I know).
Cheers
SeanUnfortunately some devices won't work when attached to a USB hub.
If the hub you tried was not powered, I would suggest that you try a powered hub instead (one that plugs into the wall).
You should make any future posts in the iBook G4 discussion area. -
Adding USB 2.0 ports via PCI cards
I was looking into picking up a used Quicksilver model but wanted to know about adding USB 2.0 ports via a PCI card. I read that it needs to be compatible with 33MHz bus and not a card that only runs 66MHz. Are most cards compatible that work in PC's with Quicksilver models?
I found a local shop selling Bytecc cards for under $10. Which would be a nice easy upgrade for the power mac. Any advice much appreciated.Not all USB PCI cards willwork in a Mac. A USB 2.0 PCI card is what you need. Best bet is any card with a NEC PD720100 or PD720101 chipset (xlr8yourmac results recommend the same). Read this for more feedback: http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/firewire/fwusb_card_deepsleep.html
Stick with the NEC chip, and try NOT to use drivers, Tiger doesn't need the drivers.
All of these Cards are NEC chipset based

My computer runs on Windows 7, and I've installed and updated the latest versions of itunes etc, but still to no avail! I've tried different usb ports, troubleshooting, etc... But it still says "One of the USB decuces arrached to this omputer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it".
The iPod is brand new, sent to me by Apple as part of the 1st gen replacement programme. I've been using the cable that came with the 1st gen iPod (I bought the first gen second hand) It always worked on my computer with the 1st gen iPod. So I was wondering, do you think I need to replace my cable in order for my PC to recognize my iPod or is it something else?
ThanksTry a different cable. And are you connecting directly to your computer or through a USB hub?

I run SmartBoards connected to iMacs running 10.7 and 10.8 throughout my school. On one of these computers the mouse has recently started freezing the minute a SmartBoard is plugged in to the USB port. The mouse 'runs' to the bottom right side of the screen, a cloud often is under the pointer, and it is not longer interactive. You can move the mouse upward a bit with the cloud following some of the time but it does not work. Once the SmartBoard is unplugged the mouse works normally. This particular computer worked fine with the SmartBoard until recenlty. Any solutions or ideas?
1. Reset the Pram and SMC

I have tried to five r's and using different usb ports. I have also cleaned the contacts recently but I still have the same annoying sounds. Any advice will be warmly received.
Does the iPod appear in iTunes on another PC or Mac running iTunes?
Did you follow the instructions in this Apple support document when removing and re-installing iTunes and all Apple related software? If not, work through these instructions exactly as they are.

The USB ports on my 30" Cinema HD display appear to not work. The monitor has not been used for almost a year, when I upgraded to a new Mac Book Pro and the 27" retina display. Now I need to move the computer back and forth between two locations using the two displays. The need for operating USB ports is essential. Any ideas. The display appears entirely normal. Am running OS X 10.9.
Disregard, problem solved.

Printer connected to Airport Express USB port won't come online after firmware 7.6 upgrade. I've tried backing up to 7.5.2, but it still shows offline. It is a Canon iP4600 printer and I'm running OS 10.6.8. I've powered everything down and still no go. I've connected the printer directly to my MacBook's USB port and it works fine. Any suggestions?
I have an iP4500, which I assume is quite similar to your model.
I had to reset the printing system to get things printing again. Only takes a few minutes and no problems at all since I did it a week ago or so.
Plug the printer into the USB port on the Express and restart the printer.
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) and then open Print and Fax
Right-Click in the printer area on the left and select Reset Printing System
Then click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list to install the printer again. -
I have tried connecting a number of devices to my MacBook Pro but I have found if I try to connect 2 or more using either usb ports or a usb hub the computer reports 'disk not ejected properly' and sometimes it will fail to recognise the device and remove it from the desktop or it stalls operation and I have to turn the computer off at the power button.
I have tried erasing the hard drive and reinstalling the operating system.
I have done various types of reset suggested by apple support.
The computer has been to an Apple dealer who has tested the hardware but found nothing due to the intermittent nature of the problem.
I have operated the computer with only the software originally installed on it present.
Could it be possible that a virus could be present on the usb devices I am trying to connect?
My computer is a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012)
Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Startup Disk Macintosh HD
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
Operating System X Yosemite 10.10.1
Devices I have connected to USB ports all USB 3.0 compatible in a variety of combinations:-
7 port superspeed USB 3.0 hub (powered).
4 port Inateck USB 3.0 portable hub (not powered).
Buffalo ultra portable 500Gb USB 3.0 hard drive.
Seagate Expansion portable 500Gb USB 3.0 hard drive.
Seagate Expansion desktop 2Tb USB 3.0 hard drive (powered).
Seagate Expansion desktop 3Tb USB 3.0 hard drive (powered).
ScanDisk Cruiser Edge 16Gb USB stick.
ScanDisk Cruiser Edge 32Gb USB stick.
Hewlett Packard 16Gb USB stick. (This causes an instant crash now.)Why?
- Because when I'm editing/ rendering lots of HD video everyday, I don't want to share system resources between virtual machines... I want the entire system's resources devoted to what I'm doing.
- I don't want to spend anymore money than I have to in order to buy one of the faster virtual systems. Not to mention, I've had a bad experience with Parralels in the past and I'd rather not use one again.
- I really don't want to clutter up my system anymore than I have to for a project that's only going to take a few weeks.
- I don't mind swapping hard drives... it takes two minutes, and I have an empty ssd just sitting on the shelf.
So, back to my original question. Can I just swap the computer's drives, then install Ubuntu on the second drive and be good to go without any harm to my MacBook Pro or OSX on the other drive (which wouldn't be connected when Ubuntu is running)?
Thanks. -
My usb ports arent running as 2.0 highspeed ports
Hi guys im looking for some help
The Basics
hp pavilion a532x
Windows XP SP3
What the front reads about my usb ports
Built in 9 - in - 1 media card reader high speed USB 2.0 and firewire ports
The issue
when i plug in my wna3100 netgear wireless adapter it says "this divice could run faster" and it wont detect my adapter .
I was wondering if there was a driver i could download so my USB ports run as they should as 2.0's.Just wondering if the Netgear software package was installed for this device? It might not show up because the driver is not installed.

I have a mid-2010 white unibody MacBook. It's been running fine, with the exception of a problem with the dashboard after the most recent firmware upgrade about a year ago. I just learned to work around it. But then Friday I got an error saying the the USB port was drawing too much power and was shut down. Sudden and random, as it had never happened before and showed up as I woke it up from screensaver mode. Nothing was plugged in. I have a Magic Trackpad and a Logitech keyboard connected via Bluetooth. Disconnecting them doesn't affect the error. I've tried rebooting and resetting PRAM & SMC. I'm trying to reinstall Lion, but I don't think it's a clean or fresh install. Has anyone encountered a USB port that dies but runs hot? The CPU seems to run a lot warmer than usual, buy about 20° F.

I can run everything through the usb port, including another manufacturer's 4G stick. The 4G stick that doesnt work on my Air works on my son's. The only difference I can find? Mavericks!
whats it formatted as? Alas junker thumb drives fall like rain everywhere.
Do you have another stick / thumb drive you can verify your USB port with?
Stick with Sandisk or otherwise reputable memory sticks for your Macbook.
What do you mean by "another manufacturer"? Apple doesnt make thumb drives, .....no computer mfg. makes them, however HP has their name on one
