USB Problem with iMac

I have a USB problem with a 2007 iMac.
It appears that 1 of the usb ports is faulty, when in OS X 10.6.2 I constantly get "because a usb device is drawing too much power" popup. Usually 3-5 popup eventually.
I used Boot Camp to boot into Windows 7 and Device Manager can see the ICH8 Family USB Universal Host Controller - 2832 as a problem. I can disable it without an problems.
The question is: Is there any way to either disable that pop-up warning in Os X or disable that specific port so I don't get the pop-ups.
I performed all updates and things like PRAM reset and SMC reset.
Its not under Apple Care if your wondering.
Thanks,

So does that mean all the ports work properly, even after getting that message?
If you start up from your Mac OS X installation disc (a different Mac OS X system), do you still get this error message? You can do so by inserting the disc and restarting with the C key held down. When you get to the Installer screen, you can do things like run Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Does that message still appear?
Also, you said you reset PRAM and SMC, but make sure you followed these procedures

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Apple recently changed the procedure a bit. While going through it disconnect ALL cables. If you have been connecting the iMac to a crowded or old power strip, connect to directly to a wall outlet, at least during this test. Power it up initially with nothing connected, except the power cord. Note if that message appears. If it does not, connect just your keyboard/mouse, use it that way for a while, and note if that message appears. If all is well, connect the remaining peripheral devices.
I don't know of a way to disable that message without disabling all the USB ports.

Apple keyboard and mouse connection problems with windows 7

Hello everyone,
I just completed the installation of windows 7 home premium on my bootcamp partition, and even though in the beginning my keyboard worked properly after installing some windows updates it stopped working.
So, i tried to reinstall the specific bootcamp drivers(as described in installation guide), I also tried repair drivers but the problem continues!
Has anyone experienced something like this ? Could you advise me something?
Thank you!

Hi lolarennt,
Have just done the same as you on the same system. It took over 12 hours of mucking around. Had lots of problems with the black screen issue, mouse not working, failing to load error message 0x80070071 ( all this from memory... saw it a few times LOL). The bottom line was I started up in Mac version and using disk utility repaired permissions and then started a fresh and sixth install. To cut a long story short, this fixed my installing issues. My mouse didn't work initially, an issue with "DPInst.exe" something to do with the 64 bit install. I then updated the win7 programme using the update windows function and things now work fine. Granted the mouse does take a short while to work after starting Win7(10seconds or so) but no further problems...yet! BTW I had to update something like 79 installs totalling over 250mb and if you go down this path don't interrupt the updating process, because you'll have to restore and redo the updates ( I did thinking the system had shutdown). I only updated win7 not any other MS programme. Enjoy

USB problem with K7T266-Pro

I have an USB problem with Logitech Cordless Wingman Gamepad. I have dowloaded the newest version of logitech gamepad, and the VIA drivers for motherboard K7T266-pro. I also tried to install the USB filter rc1, but the problem remains.
Here is how the problem occur:
1. On start up, the gamepad is detected and ready to use.
2. While I am playing a game, the usb device is reconnecting a lot. I turned of the "Allow this device to turn off to save power" in device manager under all USB root hub. But the problem remains.
3. After a while, when I have been playing for a while, the gamepad turns off, and the usb device is not recognized error message appears. Under device manager I now have a Unknown Device under USB.
4. To get it function again I have to restart the computer.
Anybody who knows the answer for this ?

I have a similar problem but with my Logitech optical mouse. It's also using the usb port and it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting the device in Win XP. I use to have Win2000 and I experienced the problem but not as often as now. Also in Win2000 there wasn't an annoying sound when a device would connect and reconnect, and not to mention when your playing a game and the mouse quits for 1/2 a second, really annoying! Sometimes it will quit completely and I have to either physically reconnect it or reboot to get it working again.
I have recently tried fixing the problem:
a) I flashed my old Bios and put in ver 1.9 from this site
b) I've updated the Via 4in1 drivers
c) I've updated the mouse drivers that come from Logitech.
None of these updates helped. I've taken my mouse to work to see if it does the same thing, but so far so good. My pc at work is running Win2000 but different MB. I don't think there is anything wrong with the mouse. Although I haven't tried using the PS/2 adapter that came with it and see if it behaves the same way. I have a feeling the mouse will work fine, but kinda sucks cause I have usb and I have to revert back to PS/2 just so it works properly.
I've read on the Via Hardware forum some people having the same problem but with an Abit board. They changed something in their Bios to resolve it. If anyone has any ideas, maybe changing something in the Bios that has to do with the usb ports, I would greatly appreciate it.

Odd USB Problem With K7N2 Delta-L

Hey all. I have a bit of a weird problem here I'm wondering if people can give some insight on. I have a K7N2 Delta-L mainboard that I've been using for two years now without the slightest problem. However, recently I've started experiencing some odd USB related problems which culminated in a big moment of panic for me yesterday. I'll start with what happened yesterday.
My system drive is 2x40GB PIDE drives running on an add-in Promise FastTrak133 controller. Yesterday, I was given 2x160GB drives from a client that I decided to upgrade my RAID with. I installed the drives and fired up my system, but had to reboot several times as the drives weren't jumpered right and not detecting on the Promise board. After I finally got the drives working, I noticed my USB had completely died. My USB keyboard and mouse didn't work and my TrueImage rescue disk (which I was going to use to restore my backup to the new RAID with) couldn't see the USB hard disk which contained the backup. I panicked about this for a while, but eventually managed to restore the keyboard and USB drive by unplugging the system, pulling the battery, waiting 15 minutes, putting the battery back and starting up. My mouse still didn't work, but once I got into Windows, it started to work after unplugging it and replugging it three times. All these devices work immediately when plugged into my laptop so I know they are OK.
Also, for the last few months leading up to yesterday, I've been having a problem with some USB devices not detecting properly when I startup. For example, the mouse will not respond until I either replug it (sometimes more than once) or on some occasions, just mash the buttons a few times at which point it kicks in. I also find that sometimes if I switch the keyset on my Zboard (which resets its USB connection), sometimes it won't get recognized as attached to the system unless I disconnect it or reboot. Both of these devices work perfectly in other systems I've tried them on and once I get them running in Windows, they don't kick out again unless the system is shut down (and they only fail to work on some boots, not all.) Every other aspect of the system works flawlessly.
I was wondering, has anyone else seen this before and is it something I can correct? Is this a sign that possibly the board is starting to die and I should look at upgrading? If I install an add-in USB card and disable the on-board USB, will I still be able to boot from USB devices? I cannot really afford a major upgrade right now, but I also can't afford to lose this system so I'll make the investment if this is a potential sign the board is failing. Thanks for reading and any help you can provide.
P.S. Here is a list of USB devices connected to my system, all of which I've tried disconnecting without fixing the problem:
Razer Copperhead Gaming Mouse (Latest Drivers & Firmware)
Ideazon Zboard (Latest Drivers)
Artec e48U+ Scanner (Latest Drivers, Powered By USB)
iMex USB 2.0 External HDD Enclosure
HP Photosmart 7600 Photo Printer (Runs Through Zboard USB Hub)

the PSU looks fine and should be capable of providing more than enough power - unless it is faulty for some reason. is it clogged up with dust? do you have another one you can test with?
does your case have its own USB port(s), if so disconnect from motherboard and see if that makes any difference
also, try going to Device Manager, uninstalling all the Host Controllers listed under Universal Serial Bus controllers, and then rebooting to reinstall the drivers
i presume you have already referred to this sticky topic: If you are having problems with USB ports, read this topic.

USB problem with K7T266 pro2 RU

I have a MS intelli mouse optical. It connects via USB. About 10 times per hour the cursor freezes and the mouse shuts off. I have to unplug the mouse and plug it back in and it starts to work again. This gets very annoying. I am running a clean install of win xp pro. And have recently done a format. It happened before and after the reinstallation of XP. It does not matter if the mouse is plugged into the USB ports by the keyboard connector or the add in USB 2 card. It happens in both places.
Anyone else have this problem or anyone know a fix to it?
Thanks in advance
Mike

I am having the same problems with KT4 Ultra.

USB problem with K8N Platinum BIOS 1.C

I was running the beta BIOS 1.CA to fix a problem with one of my CPU cores not being detected on a warm boot and it worked great.
When I noticed the official release BIOS 1.C I upgraded but I noticed problems with my USB mouse and keyboard sticking occasionally, the keyboard sometimes needed two or three presses to type and I was losing mouse clicks, gone back to the beta 1.CA BIOS and everything is fine again.
Anyone else noticed this with 1.C BIOS?

Yes, I've gone back to the beta BIOS now and everything's fine
I only upgraded to the release version because usually releases are more stable than betas, obviously in this case the reverse is true

Strange USB problem with my E540 (20C600JHFR)

Hello !
I've this nice piece of gear since a fortnight.
Yesterday I was doing Windows 7 updates and got a blue screen pertaining to a power problem on a device (I did not note anything about this BSOD thinking it was updates related.)
This night I noticed that, laptop turned off my Evoluent vertical mouse (to prevent rist problems) was turned ON ! And it was not on the port dedicated to this behavior.
This morning, upon power up on battery, I've seen that the laptop is 60 % instead of the 100 % it should have having spent all Sunday on mains.
So I went into the BIOS and turned OFF all things USB pertaining to power., and turned the laptop OFF with the mouse plugged. Still having power !
So what's wrong ? What should I check ?
Many thanks in advance for your help !
P.S. : my laptop is dual boot (Win 7 and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS which I mainly use)

Hi -- I use Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on my E540, too ... and I avoid ever using Windows, and try to never allow Windows to connect to the Internet. I am keeping Windows around until I am sure I won't need to install a BIOS or get warranty service or something.
I just had a look at the User Manual (installed as a .pdf file on your computer, or downloadable from the Lenovo web site), and saw this about the Always On USB connector. This is the one next to the DVD drive:
[1] Always-on USB connector (USB 2.0 connector)
By default, the Always On Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector enables you to charge some mobile digital
devices and smartphones in the following situations:
• When your computer is on or in sleep mode
• When your computer is in hibernation mode or is turned off, but connected to ac power
If you want to charge these devices when your computer is in hibernation mode or is turned off, and the
computer is not connected to ac power, do the following:
• For Windows 7: Start the Power Manager program and click the Global Power Settings tab. Then
select the Enable USB charge from the computer battery even when the computer is off check
box, and click OK or Apply.
• For Windows 8 and Windows 8.1: Press the Windows key to go to the Start screen. Click Lenovo
Settings ➙ Power. Then select Enable USB charge from the computer battery even when the
computer is off check box under Always On USB.
Note: When you attach a USB cable to this USB connector, ensure that the USB mark is facing upward.
Otherwise the connector might be damaged.
UPDATE: I also found the Always On setting at the back of the manual on p.129 -- it's adjustable in the ThinkPad Setup program. You can get to it from the menu when you first turn on your computer (keep pressing Enter while the screen says Lenovo ThinkPad, and you'll hear a BEEP (unless you turned off the beep) and get a list of options. press the appropriate F-key to get to the setup utility.
Did you completely wipe your hard drive when installing? IF the ThinkPad Setup is in the 17-GB recovery partition "partition # 3" at the end of the hard drive (I don't know whether it is or not) I don't know whether/how you can still get to the setup. Let me know!

My keyboard volume there a problem with the sound it's sounding to low I turn the nomb up it will go up except the sound want go up.

In GarageBand when I go to the keyboard section and turn the volume up it will go up but not the sound it's to low I don't know what happened

There may be. Try cleaning it out with a cotton swab, tweezers, etc. Also try a different set of earphones to rule out problems with your set.

IMessage and USB problems with MacBook Pro (Maverick)?

Since I updated my MacBook Pro (2011) to Maverick I have had problems with imessage not working. I also can't use my USB ports for my printer, card reader or external disk. USB ports work together with my iPad and iPhone. Does anybody out there have an idea about what I can do to fix these things? Many thanks in advance.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Strange USB problem with 23" ACD: Please help

Okay I will take you through my entire experience and then if you have any ideas what the problem(s) could be, I am in serious need of assistance.
I have had a Mac Pro and 23" ACD for about 6 months now. Everything has worked beautifully. Then, last Saturday, I go to type on my keyboard (connected to ACD's USB), and it does not work. I plug the keyboard into the tower, it works. I try moving the ACD's USB connector to various ports on the Mac Pro, and nothing fixes the problem. But the USB ports work with any other device. So I think my monitor is bad and I take it to the Apple Store. He plugs my monitor into a MacBook Pro and it works just fine. So I go home and plug it back into my Mac Pro and it still does not work. Then I tried to reset the PRAM and NVRAM - this fixed the problem - temporarily. Things worked again for about two days and then the problem returned, this time not resolved by resetting the PRAM/NVRAM.
Out of curiosity, I plugged my ACD into my PowerBook and the ACD's USB ports worked fine, so I assumed I must have an issue with my Mac Pro's USB ports not giving enough power. A phone call to Apple Care supported this theory, and I am scheduled to bring my tower into the Apple Store.
But then today, just as a last minute check, I plugged my ACD back into my PowerBook to make sure that the problem is really in my Mac Pro. This time, the USB's did not work, even when plugged into the PowerBook. I tried moving my ACD's power cord to a different outlet, and then the USB ports worked. I thought this might have been the problem all along, so I plug things back into my Mac Pro - does not work. I take them back to the PowerBook, now it does not work.
I am completely confused by this because it is like sometimes the ACD's USB's work, sometimes not. I cannot figure this out... where is the problem... in my Mac Pro or in my Cinema Display? This is so frustrating.
Also, since this problem has surfaced, I no longer have control of brightness of my display from within OS X (10.5.4) and it appears that OS X is not seeing this monitor as being an ACD but rather a regular monitor.
Please, anyone, what do I do? I do not even know how to diagnose this problem anymore.

IChat USB problem with seemingly no solution

I am working on a PowerPC g5(10.4.10) and am trying to get my webcam(Logitech Quickcam 4000) to work through a program called iChat USB(http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/).
The webcam worked last year on my mini mac, but after moving to a new computer it will not work.
When I open the video function of a iChat it says, "Camera in use by another application". Well, its not. I have close all application, unplugged and replugged my USB cable. Downloaded Macccam.Downloaded the logitech drivers. Nothing works.
One odd thing I tried was plugging the webcam into my keyboard. When doing this the green light stays on(i cant remember if it did this on my mini(10.3.9), but it doesnt do it on my g5) But while plugged into the keyboard I do not have enough USB power.
This is coming from a guy who is 600 miles away from his girlfriend for a year, and he needs your help. So if you have any ideas, or know of a webcam that might work (I have herd somthing about the xbox 360 webcam) please let me know.
Thank you so much

eacahill:
Unplug the camera, shut down the computer.
Start up in Safe Mode
Login and empty Trash.
Restart normally and log in.

Good luck.
