ITunes says USB needs more power!

Lately I have been getting a message when connecting my iPod to my G4 tower - it says it is connected to a 1.1 low powered usb port. Actually it's connected to a usb 2.0 card port which I bought ages ago for the new iPod. The card has worked fine for over a year. It still syncs, just really slow.
So why does it think it's a 1.1 usb port all of a sudden?

It crapped out.
Can you try it in another slot?

  • When I plug in a Lexar thumb drive, I get a "USB Low Power Notice' saying it cannot operate because it needs more power than is available.  This is new.  Thumb drives worked last week.  Any suggestions?  Is this an apple or a Lexar issue?

    Apple intentional, use a powered USB hub instead.

  • Iphone 5 backup and sync with iTunes ..says i need more memory

      I just bought more icloud memory for my iphone 5...because it said i needed 1.4 gb of space to backup... It would not let me sync my iphone on itunes.  I still can not back up..What should I do?  I guess no reason to buy that 10 GB from itunes.

    You probably need more free space on your phone, not in your iCloud account.  (Additional iCloud storage doesn't increase the space on your phone.) 
    Check Settings>General>Usage to see how much available space you have.  If you need more and your music is in your iTunes library, delete your music by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipe across All Music, tap Delete.  Then back up and sync with iTunes, and sync back the music you still want on your phone.

    Hi Stephanie,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're going to have to put the iPad in to recovery mode before you can restore it. The article linked below provides more details about the passcode lock and will walk you through putting the process of restoring from recovery mode.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    Use recovery mode
    Follow these steps if you never synced your device with iTunes, if you don't have Find My iPhone set up, or if you can't get to your own computer. You'll need to put your device in recovery mode, which will erase the device and its passcode. Then you'll restore your device as new or from a backup.
    Disconnect all cables from your device.
    Turn off your device.
    Press and hold the Home button. While holding the Home button, connect your device to iTunes. If your device doesn't turn on automatically, turn it on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode.
    Click OK, then restore the device.
    Cheers!

    i want to add an album to my phone but itunes says i need 4GB more memory to sync, but obviously an 11 song album isnt 4GB of memory, any clues?

    Hi shariwillis,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below may be able to help you with this.  It sounds like you may need to delete iTunes from the Applications folder and download a fresh copy.

  • HT4910 I can not back up my iPhone.  it says I need more storage space.  I purchased more space and icloud says it is there, but the phone is not recognizing this and continues to say that I need to purchase more space in order to back it up.  Any ideas?

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

    I am so sorry I am frustrating you. This is the first time I have used this community and am leanring as I go. I am not able to see the entire post that you leave, unless I look at it on my phone (email)--I am so sorry. You have no idea how much i appreciate your help. Yes, I see that I can get the later version of OS software, but its not availabe for immediate download. My only options appear to be having it shipped, or going to the store to purchase. And if you know of another way that I can access all of my itunes library music on my new phone withouth using itunes, I would love to hear about it.--thanks and again i am so sorry for frustrating you.

  • I have my own icloud account separate from my family's apple ID for itunes. I need more storage for icloud...do I have to pay a separate $20/ month to get more storage or does the $20 include all members of the plan?

    I use this computer stictly for audio recording. 
    Pro Tools 10.3.7
    Interface Apollo 16
    Pro Tools is curretnly not compatible with Maverick.   Also, I believe that Pro Tools 10 only allows 4GB ram to be utilized (not sure ) 
    I know Pro Tools 11 allows more, but not sure how much more.  Also not sure if the upgrade to Pro Tools 11 I will have to purchase all new plug ins or if my existing ones will continue to work in it.
    The platform changes from 32 bit to 64 with the upgrade to 11
    If it is as simple as adding more ram, what mode-part #l would you recomeend.  Can the processor be upgraded also ?
    The new tube like Macs are non compatible with UAD Cards.  Those cards a must my sessions

    You can use Activity Monitor to check if apps run as 32 or 64 bit - simply look at the "Kind" column (you may need to select it under View -> Columns) and see if the app in question is listed as "Intel" i.e. 32 bit or as "Intel (64 bit)".
    While in Activity Monitor you can also check if Pro Tools is close to the 3-4 GB limit of a 32 bit app - if you aren't you will probably not benefit from more RAM.
    Your MacPro (it appears to be a Early 2009 model) should have come with a small booklet showing how to install RAM and what kind of RAM that you need. Any RAM that fulfills the requirements should work but your safest choice is probably to buy from a retailer/online store that supports Macs as they will usually know what kind of RAM you need for your mac model.
    Upgrading the CPUs should be possible, but I haven't seen Apple document how to do this, so you will probably have to google around a bit to find instructions and CPU part numbers.
    Your choice of CPUs will also be limited by the motherboard and CPU socket so you may be limited to faster version of your current CPU chip and some slightly newer versions.
    Going from your current CPU to the fastest version included in the 2009 MacPros would be going from 2.26 GHz to 2.93 GHz. This would only give a modest 30% speed boost. Using newer and highly clocked CPUs might boost this somewhat more maybe to 50% ?

  • My iPhone 5S says it's disabled and to connect to iTunes, iTunes says it needs 4 digit pass code. I tried to restore it but device wasn't recognised. Any ideas? I only got it yesterday.

    My iPhone 5S says it's disabled and to connect to iTunes, iTunes says it needs 4 digit pass code. I tried to restore it but device wasn't recognised. Any ideas? I only got it yesterday.

    How did the passcode get on the phone to begin with, if you "only got it yesterday"? Regardless, to remove it, you'll have to force the phone into recovery mode, as described here, & restore it:

    This will remove the passcode.

  • Iphone's itunes says it needs a wifi connection, but its connected.

    I have all the latest updates on my iphone. My iphone does not seem to be able to use my home network, despite the fact that it says it is connected... itunes says i needs a connection while wifi settings says it has one. any ideas?

    Hey samuel,
    What IP address shows up on the iPhone? Goto Settings>Wi-Fi> the blue (>)
    Also, try making the iPhone forget the network if have not already done so.
    If the issue persists goto Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings and attempt to connect again.
