Anker Powered USB Hub (7 port, usb 3.0) often won't light up (function) after waking Mavericks from sleep

My iMac is  27" (mid-2010) with 8 GB RAM. My only problem is that my new Anker Powered USB Hub (7 port, USB 3.0) often does not wake when computer does. In other words, the power lights remain off following waking the computer from sleep and I must unplug and replug the HUB. I called Anker and they told me that Mavericks has a new "energy saving power mode" that may turn off power to a USB hub. This is most annoying and I hope that Apple can update Mavericks power management to fix this USB issue. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I've seen similar posts from D-Link USB hub owners. Perhaps if this "question" has a response trail, Apple will see it and create a fix.

Hopefully, Apple will monitor this issue and correct the USB power management issue. We'll see what happens with Yosemite.

  • Lose connection to external USB hard drive after waking up from sleep

    My Mac lost connection to the external USB hard drive after waking up from sleep. I can still see the folders in the hard drive in Finders, but when I double clip a folder no file within the folder is displayed. I have to reconnect the hard drive with iMac to read its contents.
    May I ask how this happens and is there a solution?
    I'm using Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X to read from and write to NTFS format of USB external hard drive.
    Thanks!

    ... I un-ticked the "put hard disks to sleep when possible" option in the Energy Saver panel in the System Preferences, and it seems the problem is solved. will have to sleep and wake up my iMac to further verify if this is the solution ...
    Alternative advices are always greatly appreciated!

  • W510 eSATA/USB2.0 combo port does not respond after waking up from sleep mode

    Has anyone tried to connect external DVD/CD player or burner to the eSATA/USB combo port and experienced very slow system performance after waking up from sleep mode?  It might takes minutes to launch an application program that usually takes just few seconds.  My W510 can not even restart.  It will just stop at the Thinkpad logo if I tried to restart after waking up from sleep.
    The funny thing is if I moved the external DVD/CD player to the USB2.0 port in the back, everything went back to normal.  I don't know if this has anything to do with the fact that the combo port has something to do with eSATA.
    Thanks

    It seems that this problem is unique to my system. I am hoping that one of the Mac Guru's will have at least a pointer in the right direction.
    Thanks.

  • Dead USB controller after waking up from sleep

    Hi,
    I posted this a while back but the issue is still unresolved. I am experiencing USB port sleep issues after upgrading to Tiger (currently running 10.4.8). Sometimes the build-in USB port that has my keyboard connected to literally wakes up dead from sleep. Here is the error message from the Console log
    (XX-Computer kernel[0]: USBF: 24445.528 AppleUSBOHCI[0x15ab800] Watchdog detected dead controller (hcca #: 56759, hc #: 64465).
    This happens with no set pattern, sometimes it wakes up fine, other times the port is dead. A restart is required to bring it back to life.
    Any ideas why this is happening? If I plug in my keyboard to the other USB 1.1 port everything works fine (the port remains dead until the next restart). I also have a USB2 PCI card that works with the keyboard without any dead port issues but I can't use it for waking the computer (does not trigger wake up), but I simply prefer to use one of the equipped USB ports for my keyboard.
    I have 2 external FireWire HD's connected at times, one daisy-chained to an external FireWire CD Burner. I have a USB 1.1 hub connected to the other equipped USB 1.1 port, and a USB 2 PCI card installed.
    I run system maintenance tasks frequently (Onyx) and repair permissions prior and post SW installs and updates.
    Thanks for any input.

  • Which USB hub is a USB 2 on macbook pro?

    Which USB hub is a USB 2 on macbook pro?

    A "USB hub" is a separate device that connects to a computer's UBS port.  Like this
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/USB2HB7PRO/
    If you are asking about a MacBook's USB port, recent MacBooks have USB 3.0.  Older models have USB 2.0.

  • 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.

  • How Do I get My USB backup drive to wake after iMac wakes from sleep?

    I backup using Time Machine to a USB portable drive.
    When my iMac goes to sleep and wakes later, the drive icon is still on the desktop but it is not recognized by Time Machine as an available drive for backup. I have to shut off the drive and turn it back on.
    Are there settings I must change or is it because the drive is USB powered and not direct powered?

    S-Dot,
    How is the EHD formatted and is it connected via USB to the iMac?
    Finally, is the EHD bus powered or does it have it's own power supply? If it's bus powered that may be the issue, in that case it MUST be connected directly to one of the iMac's USB ports or it must be connected to a good quality Powered USB hub that is connected to one of the iMac's USB ports.
    Please reply to all questions.

  • MSI 880GM-e35 Wakeing up from sleep by USB mouse or USB keyboard

    I have two 880gm-e35 boards that will not wake up from sleep by Keyboard or mouse. (S3) sleep condition.
    -They wake up by tapping the power button..ok.
    On the E-35 boards If I set the (S1) Sleep condition where the fans stay on and power light does not blink, they wake up by USB mouse.
    I have a 880gm-e43 that does wake up from (S3)  sleep by usb mouse or keyboard.
    They are configured about the same, the E43 has a couple more options in that area but basically the same.
    Is that normal, The Bios kind of implies that it should wake up from S3, but no luck.
    Not a big deal, but I would prefer the USB wakeup, if possible..!

    Thanks for the reply. On the right track, but could not find that option.
    maybe I will look to see if they have other bios options for that board.
    Thanks again...

  • Stop waking up from sleep on USB events?

    Is it possible to make the Mac not wake from sleep when a USB device is connected or disconnected? I have a couple of a devices that don't need anything from the Mac itself, though they're plugged in via USB, and if I say take my Garmin GPS device off its dock, the Mac will wake up. Very annoying. Can I make it not do that?
    Thanks.

    Sorry, but unfortunately no. Like you, I wish it were not the case.

  • Portege R830-10R: No USB connection after recovery from sleep mode

    Good day!
    I've been experiencing the following problem on my Portege R830-10R for a long time.
    Quite frequently, when it recovers after sleep mode it loses ability to recognize connected USB devices and built-in 3G modem does not work as well.
    After some time, like 10-15 minutes of working (or never), the problem becomes solved by itself, but normally it is not the case.
    If I try to send the laptop to hibernate or sleep mode again, while this problem is active, lets say, it does not hibernate and hangs on a half way with a black screen - so I have to shut it down manually and then start again.
    Normally, the only way to resolve the problem is to restart it, but the issue comes back after next sleep mode.
    Has anyone had something like that? Any solution available?

    > {quote:title=Paolo30 wrote:}{quote}
    > It would be interesting to know, if the same problem could be replicated after the notebook has been recovered.
    > I mean you that you should run an system recovery (Toshiba recovery disk or HDD recovery).
    > Straight after the system has been recovered, test if USB ports would functions after waking up from sleep mode.
    I agree that it may resolve the issue, I tend to see the root of the problem inside the software part.
    However, I was curious to know whether it was possible to treat it without recovery - I have a lot of software installed and complete recovery of the laptop to the state as it is now may take several days.
    Anyway, great thanks for your help!

  • Tecra R840 do not shutdown after waking from sleep (USB, BT is not working)

    Hello,
    I've a problem with my R840 running win7pro + SSD.
    After waking it from sleep:
    - no USB activity (but there is power in the ports since I can see the leds on in the external HDD or mouse)
    - my Bluetooth mouse stops working
    - my internet connection will work after 1 or 2 minutes of waiting
    - and...the laptop will not shutdown unless I press the physical on/off button for 5 secs or so!!!
    In device manager everything seems ok! The Power management in all the devices/USB hubs etc are set to not turn off the devices to save power!
    Already clean booted the laptop several times and the problem remains!
    Everything is just fine if the laptop do not sleep!
    But I put it in a sleep mode and the I wake it I have all those problems!
    Any sugestions?
    Best Regards,
    paulo

    >But I have the SSD for almost 2 years or so and it worked without this issue for a long time!
    >This appeared (or at least I detected it) suddenly.
    Hi Paulo this would mean that there is nothing wrong with the BIOS because as you said above: the unit worked properly in the past.
    I guess the system is muddled up and does not work properly after waking up from sleep mode:
    Possible solution -> the system should be reinstalled. In case youve got the Toshiba recovery medium, such OS installation / recover process would be very easy and does not take very long

  • Airport Extreme w/Powered USB Hub and External Disk Drive Win 7

    Hello,
    I have an Airport Extreme device setup with a Belkin powered USB hub in the USB port.  I am using the
    hub to network a USB printer and an external hard drive.  I established a wireless home network
    for Windows 7 PCs.  I am able to print to the printer from all clients on the network.  However, the clients
    cannot see the hard disk even though it displays in the Airport Utility > Disks.  I have selected
    "Share over Ethernet WAN port" in the configuration.  Can you tell me what I am missing in order to make this drive
    accessible and usable to the clients on the network?
    Thank you in advance.

    The base station can't read or share a drive formatted to NTFS.

  • USB Disk via USB Hub or Ethernet NAS Connection More Reliable?

    This is a rather techical question that calls for an opinion.
    I want to centralize backups for my daughter, wife and myself.  I'm going to add the latest model Airport Extreme Base Station as both an internet access point (from my cable modem) and as a wireless router to hard drive storage.  I know there are cheaper (and probably faster) wireless routers; however, I've used various models of airport base stations over the years with my cable modem and they have all worked flawlessly and never need rebooting.
    My two choices:  1) Connect a 4-port, powered USB hub to the usb connection on the Airport Extreme and use a pair of 3GB hard drives--one for primary backup and the second for the backup of the backup.  2) Use a QNAP TS110 or TS112 NAS device and connect it to the Base Station via gigabit ethernet.  Then, an external USB drive would be connected to the QNAP NAS device.  I've encountered QNAP NAS products in my work life and have been incredibly impressed with them--reliable, very low power requirements, reasonably easy setup via Web browser.
    Choice 1 will be about $125 less expensive than Choice 2.  I'll have to use the Linux Ext3 or 4 partition map for both drives under Choice 2 but the external USB volume can be formatted in Mac HFS+.  Choice 2 will be theoretically faster because of the gigabit ethernet connection (probably irrelevant because of the slow wireless n throughput) but the QNAP device can be set to do automated backups to the USB drive that would be connected to it.  That's nice. 
    My question:  Based on what I've read over the years about connecting USB disks to an Airport Extreme base station, I have the opinion that an ethernet connection to an NAS device may be more reliable (ie, the client computers don't drop the connection to the hard drive as often).  Maybe I'm wrong about that.  I would like an opinion.
    Also, I know how slow the real throughput will be as a result of clients connecting via wireless n.  In real life, with decent quality connections, I'll be looking at 10MB to 12MB per second max.  The first backups will take days; however, subsequent incremental backups will be much faster.  I don't plan to use Time Machine, but rather to use Carbon Copy Cloner to make backups to read/write sparse disk image bundles (CCC won't do regular backups to networked drives).  I tried Time Machine a while back but would rather have access to actual files as as a complete disk image that would be bootable when written back to a drive.  Call me old-fashioned, but that's me.  I also have two other bootable backups on 2.5" external drives--one that stays with me and another is always at my work place.  Also, I'm not interested in a Time Capsule because I don't think their reliability is all that great (bad design with too much heat buildup).
    Thanks for any insights you can offer.

    I meant to say 3TB drives, not 3GB.

  • Possible/Safe to use a usb hub on Airport Express?

    I'm about to purchase my second external hard drive for backups and I was wondering if it is safe/plausable/possible to plug a usb hub into the USB port of the Airport Express to connect my two hard drives (and maybe a printer) to connect all three of these devices to my local network? Has anyone tried this? I'd to know before I get the usb hub

    I was wondering if it is safe/plausable/possible to plug a usb hub into the USB port of the Airport Express to connect my two hard drives (and maybe a printer) to connect all three of these devices to my local network?
    Unfortunately, the AirPort Express will not support a hard drive connected to its USB port. Only compatible printers are supported.
    So, while you could connect a powered USB hub to the AirPort Express, it would only function correctly with multiple printers.
    To support a hard drive, you would need an AirPort Extreme.

  • Cannot get the 5.1 Multimedia Centre Audio/USB Hub working

    Hi there,
    I wonder if anyone could help save my sanity...
    I have been using a Toshiba Tecra A8 laptop now for sometime with no problems. This is running with Windows XP. I love it, its great, all except for one thing.
    I REALLY miss my Creative 5.1 speakers for listening to music to in my box room when working from home.
    They just sort of sit there on the windowsill, pining to be used....
    So, I thought to myself, there MUST be a 5.1 USB external soundcard that I could purchase to allow these speakers to be operational once again. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that Toshiba themselves made such a thing!!!
    In my simple way, I believed that it must be the best solution, to purchase an accessory of the same manufacturer as the machine itself.
    This would be a doddle and I would once again be listening to quality top end and punching bass......WRONG!!!
    I have now installed and uninstaled the software 3 times.
    The thing works lovely as an additional USB hub, perfect, no probs at all, but try to get a single note of music from the thing? Forget it!!!!
    I can get sound from the laptops speakers when the usb lead is not connected in.
    Everytime I do connect the multimedia (?) centre to the laptop I get the "Found new hardware" wizard come up & I am too simple to be able to simply tell the damn thing where the files that are now necessary might be.
    So, I ask for all of your powers to solve this before I load the laptop, the speakers, the multimedia (?) into the car and head off to Toshiba HQ in Addlestone to demand satisfaction.
    Many thanks for anything you can do to help me hear sound through these speakers once again.
    Soulster

    About Multimedia Centre Audio, I have no idea.
    1. May be damaged USB 4 port mini hub itself lead to
    2.USB Interface Damage
    3. Chassis front interface, leading to voltage instability
    4. Used to extend the line leading to insufficient power supply to USB 4 port hub Interface Device Not Recognized
    *Recommendations directly to the device plugged into the USB port on the back-end chassis (without extension)
    5. There is also a very important factor! Now USB, anyone can produce, it is clear there will be a problem, is not compatible with the system, more terrible thing is that these parallel imports please some of the manufacturers rookie programmers to write some of the junk drive and cause problems by virtue by virtue (such as something very popular in China)! So, bought brand on all right!
    6. It is possible that the wrong front USB access, and perhaps pick the wrong chip burned
    7. Motherboard BIOS settings
