About USB Port Hubs for My Apple iMac Computer?

I Need to know what kind of USB Port Hub I Need for My 2009 24inch Apple Widescreen iMac computer do i need a USB Hub 2.0 or 3.0? i need to get a USB Hub so what kind of USB Port Hub i need?

A parallel query, if you please: I have several USB devices hooked to my iMAC (Late 2012 running OS X Mavericks) How do I determine if any of them are USB3? I think my 1TB HDD (not from Apple store) MAY be USB 3 but I'm nor sure. Does it have to be plugged into the Left-most USB recepticle? I am told that DVD/CD burners are NEVER USB 3 because rhey are limited by the maximum rototional speed and servo mechanics.

USB ports and memory card slots not working

My Pavilion a6120n desktop has worked brilliantly ever since I purchased it. As of last week the 2 usb ports in the front and the 2 unused usb ports in the back have stopped working. My printer is plugged into one rear port and my wireless mouse is plugged into a second rear port and these work fine. I generally use a memory stick for data swapping or the card reader slots (which have also stopped working). I no longer see the memory card icons in the "Computer" window. When installing something new the "New Hardware Found" statement pops up but the driver install always fails. I think it is a software issue but there are no usb drivers to download on the HP/support site that I can find. . . so . . . Below is what I have tried so far.Run antivirus software. Full scan & memory scan - no issuesRun malewarebytes full scan - no issues I have tried restarting several times with no success. Restore to several previous restore points = failedRestarting computer in repair mode = failedRun the repair disk that I had made = failedChecked the power management for each usb port to see if the power was routed properly = okRemoved the case cover and carefully inspected the wiring and connectors.finally I tried uninstalling the usb drivers = failed Upon restarting the computer the last time the startup file must have failed and after several hours of attempting a repair I had to reinstall the Window 7 completely. Still no usb or memory card function. Any help would be appreciated Thanks,MrBob38

My USB ports and SD card slot aren't working!

My USB ports and SD card slot haven't been working on my MacBook Pro for a couple of months now, and I have taken it into Future shop to get it fixed under my warranty. Unfortunately my warranty was expired by a month (Oops), and the associate helping me said that there was no power getting to the ports because it had something to do with the circuit board, and that it would cost $900.00 to get it repaired. I can still charge my MacBook, and the CD hardrive works completely fine.
My goal is get my MacBook repaired for little or no cost. I was wondering if anyone knows a solution to this, or how much it would cost me to get it repaired at the Apple store.

What version of OS X is the Macbook Pro running?
In OS 10.8, you can do this:
With the iPod connected, go to Apple Menu / About This Mac / More Info / System Report.
click on USB under Hardware (in the left column).
Does the iPod appear anywhere on the right hand side (USB Device Tree)?

Something has gone wrong - the AppleTV needs to be restored by connecting to a computer running current iTunes version using a microUSB to USB lead.
AppleTv2 does not require power when doing this.
Select the AppleTv Device on teh left in iTunes and restore to current firmware.

Hi, is this a question" Post?
or are you just offering an insight into your Mouse Issue?
Generally and at times we all have little idiosyncrasies appearing with the running of our Macs.
I use the same Logitech BT with my MBP. MB & iBook..(not at the same time) Only ever had one issue
and the cure was to completely Delete the mouse from BT -> Repair Permissions & Reboot then Re Install the BT mouse..Ihave just put a new set of batteries in the Logitech (only 2nd set ever)...L

Recommendation for a good USB/Firewire hub

I have too many potential peripheral devices, and need more firewire and USB ports for my G5 iMac. I've read mixed reviews of the Belkin "mini" hub, including the fact that it is not powered.
Does anyone use one of these?
is it good/bad/mediocre?

There is a nice free application that I use. It is Zenbe Lists. It actually syncs with a free web account that can be accessed from your desktop. Maybe not what you're looking for, but what do you have to lose if it's free? Good luck!

Are those USB port hubs safe to use?

I bought one of those Belkin USB 4 port Hubs so that I can have more USB ports on my iMac.
I have the one that needs external power.
I was curious as to wether they can cause any damage to my iMac's ports? Here I am using 4 ports on this hub which is connected to a port on the iMac that is designed for 1 device right? Not 4 devices.
So can using 4 devices via a hub connected to a USB port designed to have 1 device to it, cause any damage to the ports?
Also - what about data corruption?
If I have 4 drives connected to the USB Hub, transferring files between them and to the computer, could this cause data to become corrupt?
So far I've had no problems but I use these USB ports to transfer large amounts of iimpotant data and cant afford anything going wrong..
-Frank

It is perfectly safe (and encouraged by Apple) to use USB hubs. In fact, USB will support up to 127 peripherals chained together over one USB port. The only concern may be if a hub loses power in the middle of a file transfer, or gets disconnected. But that is the same for everything.
I have used USB hubs for many years without any problems.

If the industry agreed with never using external hubs for hard drives they would elimate them from there montherboard designs altogether.
Faulty logic and a wrong premise. Thats like saying "you can get hurt in a car accident with or without a seatbelt, so it doesnt matter"
USB hubs are error-fault multipliers.
To give an analogy you might understand,......your stuff can get lost in the mail on its way to its destination, ..........using a USB hub is like giving your mail to a drunk homeless stranger to carry to the post office first.

Portege R500 - USB ports unresponsive for 35-60 sec after Standby

When my R500 (running Vista Business) wakes up from Standby, Vista is ready to use within about 7 seconds. This would be great except that the USB ports and the Bluetooth function don't wake up for a further 25 to 50 seconds.
I use a USB or a Bluetooth mouse and I find this long start up delay spoils the otherwise excellent user experience.
Has anyone noticed the same problem, and/or does anyone know of a solution?

Thanks to Akuma and Raver for responding. Replies as follows:
1. It happens with any USB mouse, either wired or cordless. With a basic USB optical mouse it's easy to see when the USB port wakes up because the bright red scanning LED comes on. I start a stop watch when the touchpad starts working and stop it when the LED on the mouse comes on. The delay varies but can be from 13 to 60 sec.
2. When I use a Bluetooth mouse the delay after wakeup is slightly longer than with a USB mouse. The delay seems to be the sum of the basic USB delay (as in point 1) plus an extra delay for the Bluetooth radio link.
3. With the same mice on a Toshiba M5 running XP Pro, there's no USB delay and only the quite short delay for the Bluetooth radio link.
4. Running msinfo32.exe shows the bios as Toshiba version 1.60, 04/03/2008. I've checked for a new bios. The current latest bios on the UK Toshiba site says â??modified 14/03/2008 but when I try to run it I get the message that the bios is already up to date.
5. The Vista came preinstalled and is fully patched with all MS updates.
6. I'll look into updating the chipset drivers as suggested by Raver and we'll see what happens.
FWIW, while searching around I noticed three people using Vista on Sony laptops who experienced similar delays with a USB flash drive.

USB Isolation Hub for DAQPad

Anybody know where to find an isolated USB hub? I've seen reference to such a product in several locations on the NI website.
For example:
"For the GPIB-USB-B, use a USB isolated hub. National Instruments does not sell these, but there should be many available for sale elsewhere on the web or in local stores."
I'm trying to isolate a DAQPAD and a USB to RS-232 adapter. Any suggestions?

Hello amueller. Thank you for contacting National Instruments. I did a google search for "USB isolated hub" and came up with the following companies: B&B Electronics, Impulse, Esis, etc. You might want to try calling some local stores as well. Hope this helps. Have a great day!

Can Ideapad Lynx k3011 micro USB port use for data communication?

Greetings,
I would like to connect on one end an VAG-Com USB dongle (http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/hex-usb+can.html) via a Micro USB adaptor to the tablet and the CAN bus to my car on the other end to turn some car features on and off. Can the Micro USB port on the tablet be used as communication device to achieve this?
Thanks,

Making Your USB port Work For You

I'm thrilled we now have a new board to get our customers’ feedback! My name is Alysia Eve and I am the Worldwide Product Portfolio Marketing Manager for ThinkPad. Our team is responsible for developing, building and launching new ThinkPad products. As we look to the future we want YOUR feedback to help shape our products and features. Our goal is to develop products that not only meet your needs but you love owning and using.
For our first post, we are looking for input and thoughts about our Always-On USB feature. The Always-On USB feature is indicated on the system by a USB symbol with a power plug next to it. The Always-On USB port allows users to charge external devices even when your computer is in sleep or hibernation mode.
We would appreciate your input on the following questions:
Do you know one of the USB ports can charge your cell phone even when the PC is turned off?
Do you know from 2013, ThinkPad’s have a rapid charge feature on one of the USB port to more quickly charge your cell phone?
Does the battery icon next to the USB port sufficiently indicate that you can rapidly charge your phone?
Do you find this feature valuable?
Would you use this instead of your cell phone charger on a trip?
We really appreciate your thoughts!

Hello,
In response to your questions:
Q1: Do you know one of the USB ports can charge your cell phone even when the PC is turned off?
A1: Yes, assuming it is enabled in the BIOS/UEFI firmware.
Q2: Do you know from 2013, ThinkPad’s have a rapid charge feature on one of the USB port to more quickly charge your cell phone?
A2: Yes, assuming it works with the various devices I carry, all of which have different, incompatible high-current charging modes.
Q3: Does the battery icon next to the USB port sufficiently indicate that you can rapidly charge your phone?
A3: I've rarely needed to use it, since I carry a small external USB charger with me (4.2 amp 2×USB charger, international voltage compatible).
Q4: Do you find this feature valuable?
A4: I've used it on occasion, but it doesn't offer a much additional functionality beyond what I already carry with me.
Q5: Would you use this instead of your cell phone charger on a trip?
A5: No, I never travel without an external USB cell phone charger. It is more convenient to use an external USB charger and put it away when finished than it is to take out my entire notebook and have it charge a single device at a rate more slowly than the portable charger does.
Comments:
I typically travel with two smartphones, a 4G wireless hotspot, a tablet, an ebook reader and a Bluetooth headset, all of which charge via micro USB jacks.
