Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled?
What do I do?

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use. One symptom of a bad Lightning cable is the message you are getting.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Sometimes you have to reset the SMC two or three times for it to work, don't know why. I've seen that error message before and 100% of the time it was fixed with an SMC reset. I suppose it's possible that your keyboard or mouse IS drawing too much power, do you have access to another you could try?

Hi
does anyone know how to fix the message on my iMac:
"Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled."
This is a brand new machine and did not have anything attached to the USB ports"
Thanks for any help

If you are getting that message on a brand new Mac with nothing connected to the USB ports, take it back. It is broken.

Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled. This shows up even when I am not connected to a USB. what do you think the problem is?

Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled. - This is what shows up sometimes even when no USB is connected. What could be the reason?

Try a different USB cord, seen this many many times, its highly likely a damaged USB cord.
Restart the computer to redefine Port definition. If still a problem
You can also resetting PRAM/NVRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379

HT1338 what to do when this happens Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled.

Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled.

update to the above (my edit has disappeared !)
This appears to be a problem with the USB cable. I can make this message happen during a sync with itunes. If i lift the cable with my finger about a cm away from the join between the cable and the USB connector head of the cable I get this warning message each time I try. I must have a loose wire/connection in the cable.
Thanks

New iMac 27" and just plugged in a Apple USB superdrive and get message, "Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled." I am trying to load Office mac2011 what to do?

If you just bought the iMac and the Sjuperdrive take the superdrive back and get a refund. The by any other brand external DVD drive that connects by USB and try that. Most come with a Y USB cable to allow you to connect to 2 USB ports to supply enogh power to the drive IF Needed.
Or take both back and get a refund on both, you have 14 days to return it no questions asked, and buy another iMac and some other brand external DVD drive.

HT1151 how to fix "because a usb device was drawing too much power from your computer,one or more of your usb devices have been disable"

how to fix "because a usb device was drawing too much power from your computer,one or more of your usb devices have been disable"?

Check to see if you have a bad cable. After rebooting, connect a new one and see if it works.

"Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled.

Here is the total error message:
"Because a USB devce was drawing too much power from your computer, one
or more of your USB devices have been disabled.
To prevent damaging your computer, the USB device drawing too much
power has been disabled. Other devices may have also been disabled.
When you disconnect the device drawing too much power, your other USB
devices will be enabled again."
Now in contrast to every other thread on this i get this error message eveytime i connect my soundcard (interface). Not when i start up the mac or anything, just when i connect the sound card. (the soundcard does not have its own power source but note that this has never happened before and i have had this soundcard for about a year!)
It deactivates so i cannot use it.
I have tried:
Connecting the soundcard to my mothers mac -> it worked!
Connecting an external harddrive to my mac -> it worked!
so basically, i can't be the soundcard or the cable and it cannot be the mac USB port?
I don't know what to do! i really need this to work! anyone got an idea??

I don't have anything else plugged into my MBP, so I am confused as to what's going on. This problem has never happened before. MBP is less than a year old - about 9 months old. HELP

When I plug in my son's iPad I get this message "Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled." I only have one charger for this iPad all my other chargers are for iPhone 4s. I have pluggerd it in different outlets around the house and the iPad will not charge. When I plugged it on my lap top to back it up it gave me the warning message. HELP!!

I have the same problem on my Air. The message first came up while my iPhone was connected to it for some time. Since then, it pops up ALL THE TIME, whithout anything being connected to the USB port, at what appear to be random intervals that vary between about one hour and a few seconds. I have tried resetting the SMC and the PRAM, but no results. A quick search revealed that thousands of users are facing this problem, but Apple has yet to provide a solution. Please help!

i fix my iphone 5 to syn with my macbook in begging is ok after i have message in screen ,Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled

Unplug whatever other devices you also have plugged into USB, and try again. Better not to plug the iPhone into a USB hub.

Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices has been disabled- in to 2days bought Macbook Air

It has beeing used only an i phone 3GS for sync !!!

My wife's Mac pro is doing the same thing when she hooks up our canon camera. She has downloaded 1000's of pictures without problems before and now that message pops up . Also the SD card reader isn't working. When the card is plugged in nothing happens and we can't find the card in iphoto. So now she has no way to get the pictures on iphoto. It's not the cord or the card because I can download them without any problem on my windows computer. I also have seen a bunch of other post about this problem. Any help would be great. Thanks.
