My 2011 macmini boots very slowly when d-link usb hub is connected.

I have a 2011 macmini that boots very slowly when my D-link 7 port usb hub is attached. The hub is the newest model and has three 3TB seagate external hdd's plugged in to it. Normally boot time is about 1 minute, with hub connected it's about 3+ minutes. Shut down time is also much slower when the hub is connected. If I unplug it, boot up and shutdown time is back to normal. Does anyone know if this is normal, or do I have a bad hub or external hdd's.

It's a bit normal, OSX checks or repairs most drives connected when booting.
Use Disk Utility to Repair the external Drives.
Also, Is Spotlight indexing these drives? Is Time Machine using any of them?
Have you tried one drive connected at a time to see if it's just one or 2 doing it?
Did you Install any Seagate Software?

My new Logitech 4 port USB hub worked for 5 minutes.

After I had the message that a USB was drawing too much power and the hub from the hard drive would be de activated I bought a Logitech 4 port USB hub.
This worked for 5 minutes and now I get either the same message or nothing at all
Could someone please tell me what to do?

Click on the Link supplied above and follow the Steps...
Before doing that... and this is not a patronising question... but I have to ask... you have checked that the Wall Outlet you are using for the Hub is working...
Also, when you did the Restart did you Disconnect the Hub...

Time Machine and 4 Port USB Hub

I am trying to use a 1Tb external drive with Time Machine. I have connected the external drive via a 4 port, externally powered USB hub. The hub is then connected to my Airport Extreme.
The problem is the drive will not mount using the hub. Yet, when I plug the drive directly into my MacBook Pro, it shows up just fine in Disk Utilities, and Time Machine wants to know if I would like to use it as a backup disk.
I'd really like to use this drive wirelessly to back up multiple Macs via my Airport Extreme. The odd thing is that I have a printer connected to the same hub and I share it using the Airport Extreme and it works just fine. I just don't understand why the hub is making a difference.
- Do I need a different hub?
- Are hubs a problem with this kind of set up?
And I'd like to sneak in a follow-up question if I may:
- Can I use the same hard drive with Time Machine to back up 2 or 3 Macs?
Thanks in advance!

My thanks to you and Tesserax for the quick and helpful responses! You were right about the 1Tb drive not being supported wirelessly through my Airport Extreme. The drive showed up under "disk" in Time Machines preferences, but the drive would not mount. The minute I put the printer directly into the Extreme and connected the drive to the MacBook Pro via the hub, it showed up in Disk Utilities and was ready to format. And, now Time Machine is asking me if I want to use it as my Backup Disk. Cool! Now the only question is if I can share the disk so that my other Macs can also take advantage of this new Backup Disk. We'll see..
Thanks again so much!!

S10 ideapad - fails to accept 4-port usb hub

I got an external usb keyboard, and a 4-port iogear usb hub
to connect both a mouse & the keyboard.
The keyboard lights go on, briefly, during boot = = but at the login screen,
neither mouse nor keykboard will work.
Any ideas - ?

I have the same issue with my Thinkpad. It all depends on what all is plugged into the USB. If they are all used then you don't have enough power to power the hub completely. Only a powered hub will work.
Does one work if only one of them is plugged into the hub?

30'' Cinema Display with mini-display-port to dual link DVI adapter usb hub

Hi all, I don't know if any one of you experience this issue and can help me.
I am using an unibody macbook pro (late2008 model) to connect to a 30'' cinema display via the famous $100 mini diaplay port to dual link DVI adapter. I have connected the usb cable from the ACD to the adapter and the usb cable of the adapter to my macbook pro. This setting works fine under OSX 10.5.7.
When I am using Windows Vista under bootcamp the USB hub on the back of the ACD doesn't work. The device manager of Vista shows an excalmatory mark besides the device "Generic usb hub"; and it reports a problem of "the device cannot be started".
I doubted this problem is due to Windows cannot recognise the $100 adapter as a "generic usb hub"; and apple has not release a driver for this $100 adapter for windows.
Since my MBP only has 2 usb ports and the $100 adapter already occupied one, it would be very much helpful if the usb hub of the ACD can work just like in OSX. Can anyone think of any suggestion?
Much appreciated for reading this post and thank you.

i don't have an answer for you, but i feel your pain. very frustrating when this happens with Apple products and Vista/Bootcamp. wish they were more compatible, for it would make things so much easier for the consumer.

I have a HDD attached to my AirPort Express through a 7-port USB

I have a HDD attached to my AirPort Express through a 7-port USB hub. How come it doesn't show in my iMac?

To add to what Tesserax said -

The USB port on the Express only supports a USB printer. You will need to connect the hub to your iMac.

Hi every i just bought an ipad 2 . en the cams resolution it's not very good. is the the max grafh. or do i need to do something to have cams hd???

Both cameras on the iPad are low resolution, something like 1 meg each (the back camera is capable of 720P HD video). But the cameras are mainly aimed at FaceTime / Skype type video calls, and unless you have very good light you are unlikely to get good stills photos or videos from the iPad - you are better off using a compact camera or even your phone.

TV (video) output from new nano looks very good!

Just a comment for those who may be wondering how the video quality on the new iPod nano looks when output to a TV. I have one of the old iPod AV docks with the s-video port and the new nano seems to work fine with that combination (using a standard s-video cable between the dock and the TV). Thus far I'm really impressed with the video quality, I can't see a single problem, the color is good, the quality and sharpness is as good as I've seen from any iTunes Store content, and as far as I can tell the frame rate is fine (no stuttering, skipped frames, or problems with audio sync). I'm amazed that such high quality video can come from such a small device. If it continues to look this good (after viewing more content and after more testing) then I think Apple may have "hit one out of the park." This thing could turn out to be the most popular iPod yet (if you have any interested in video and still want a small device).

I just found out that the video out (TV) on the new nano supports video playlists so you can create playlists for back-to-back display on the TV. Not even the AppleTV will do that (even though the latter has been a highly requested feature for the AppleTV since day one). In fact, if you can do without the on-TV menus you may find that the nano is a better video output device than is the AppleTV (that is, the menus system on the nano doesn't appear on the TV output).
Also, I just competed a few hours of video playback to my big-screen TV from the nano and I'm still impressed. No video problems at all, looks very good considering the quality limitation from the content that is currently on the iTunes Store (limited to standard definition, no HD movies, HD TV, or HD music videos as yet).

The wifi at my school isn't very good. And I can't send iMessages through it. It works for some apps like score center and my radar app, but doesn't work for other apps like clash of clans and iMessage. How can I get it to work on that wifi network

In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first.

When ever I launch my safari, it will stay on for about a minute and then quits on me. It has a "safari quit unexpectedly" dialog box with a bunch of codes that I can send a report to apple. im not very good with this kind of thing, plz help!

Im not very good at troubleshooting, but I have played around with the system preferences. My airport connection is fine as well as the ethernet. Firewall says its not connected, (im not sure if that matters or not?)
I have subtracted my network from the list, restarted, and then put it back and and restarted...nothing seems to be working. Iam in the middle of a correspondace course and i really need my internet back...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Then GULP, check for this...
Flashback - Detect and remove the uprising Mac OS X Trojan...
http://www.mac-and-i.net/2012/04/flashback-detect-and-remove-uprising.html
In order to avoid detection, the installer will first look for the presence of some antivirus tools and other utilities that might be present on a power user's system, which according to F-Secure include the following:
/Library/Little Snitch
/Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode
/Applications/VirusBarrier X6.app
/Applications/iAntiVirus/iAntiVirus.app
/Applications/avast!.app
/Applications/ClamXav.app
/Applications/HTTPScoop.app
/Applications/Packet Peeper.app
If these tools are found, then the malware deletes itself in an attempt to prevent detection by those who have the means and capability to do so. Many malware programs use this behavior, as was seen in others such as the Tsunami malware bot.

My ipad 2 is not very good picking up wi-fi signals

MY IPAD 2 is not very good at picking up wi-fi signials .I have a Kindle Fire and it has no problems in the same location .Is this a normal limitation for the IPAD or do I need a fix

labyrinth 2
It's possible it's that app that's the culprit.
Try syncing your apps but deselect the box next to labyrinth 2 in iTunes. Or, delete the app directly from the iPad by holding down the app until it jiggles then tap the circle with an x, then tap Delete. Press the Home button once or twice to stop all the icons from jiggling. You can always re sync the app using iTunes.
Then restart the iPad.Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPod touch. To turn iPod touch back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
See if the screen will rotate.
If that doesn't help, try, "Reset All Settings". General / Reset. Tap Reset All Settings. That resets preferences and settings to default but contacts, calendars, and media won't be effected.

Iphone 5 won't charge unless I wiggle the cable around to fine a spot where it works. It's not the cable/charger as it works perfectly in other iPhone 5's. I haven't even had it a year so it's still under warranty and the phone is in very good condition

Iphone 5 won't charge unless I wiggle the cable around to fine a spot where it works. It's not the cable/charger as it works perfectly in other iPhone 5's. I haven't even had it a year so it's still under warranty and the phone is in very good condition and has never been abused/dropped etc. I'm taking it into apple tomorrow for an appointment. Has anyone had this problem? if so, what happens? thanks

I had the same problem and took my iPhone 5 into the Apple store. What happened was a little embarrassing. The genius took out a "special tool" (a paper clip) and began digging out an unimaginable amount of lint from the lightning connector port. After that I was able to connect the cord and charge without any issues.
A few days after, I realized that my problems associated with the remote/mic not working on my ear pods might be due to the same issue. (The volume and action buttons on the ear pods sometimes were not responsive) I grabbed a paper clip and began digging. Again, a large wad of lint came out of the headphone port and my ear pods have worked perfectly since.
