MacBook Pro 13" 2011 - Won't let me use 2 USB ports at the same **** time.

I'm trying to use 2 usb driven hardware devices at the same time and it won't let me - one of them always disconnects (usually the 2nd port) ...even though both devices work on other macbooks ive used lately..
Is it possible one of them isnt properly powered? Is there any way of "turning" them both on?
Sorry I sound so novice, i've had macs for 10+ years but i've never had this problem before...

USB ports on a computer have always had a limited amount of power. The least expensive solution is to get a powered USB hub, meaning it has a separate power supply. The hub will provide enough power to keep things running.
It will also make your extenal hard drives behave better it they are USB-powered.
Here's an example:

    there is a dylib you can put in the springboard if jailbroken but if not you have to find an apple store

  • Updated to latest operating system on MacBook Pro and now won't let me drag files onto a flash drive.

    Updated to latest operating system OS X Mavericks on MacBook Pro and now won't let me drag files onto a flash drive.

    The Flash Disk must be NTSF formatted. Writing to NTFS requires 3rd party drivers (Tuxera, Paragon). Reading from NTFS however does not require these. So install NTFS drivers, or format the drive in FAT32 from Disk Utility.
    Hope this helps :-)

  • HT201364 I have a brand new macbook pro, but it won't let me download mavericks

    I have a brand new macbook pro, but it won't let me download mavericks

    You have got a Late 2013 MacBook Pro.
    This MacBook uses a special OS X Mavericks version which is newer than the one available in the Mac App Store, so you cannot download OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store now. Instead, if you need to reinstall OS X, you will have to do this through Recovery (hold Command and R keys while your computer is starting up).
    You will be able to download OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store when your Mac uses the same OS X version as all other Macs. This may happen when Apple launches OS X 10.9.2

  • Record with two usb devices at the same time on LOGIC PRO X

    I would like to record both with my Samson USB mic and my guitar wich has also a USB input in the same time. How do i make that happen? Logic Pro X only sees one device whilst recording.

    You need to create an aggregate device in OSX, and then select that as your audio device in Logic's options.
    Then whatever you've set up as the inputs will be selectable within the logic audio buses.
    Here's an official Apple article to get you on your way:-

  • Macbook pro (early 2011) won't boot after sleep. Black screen with chime

    I put my macbook pro early 2011 (Quad, 8 Gb RAM, 2 x SSD-disks, external 27" LED-screen) into sleep mode a couple of days ago. Everything was fine then.
    However, the morning after it wouldn't wake up - this is the bootup process:
    - Black screen
    - Chime
    - Still black screen, nothing happens.
    So I've tried resetting NVRAM, SMC etc - no luck. Even tried the "Powerbutton" + "S" + Enter but to no avail.So I immediately began dd:ing my SSD-disk before trying anything else, figured it might be some preboot-corruption of some sort since I'm running FileVault2 with full AES-encryption.
    Now, the problem (after some troubleshooting) doesn't seem to be disk-oriented. Remember the black screen? I've tried pulling the SATA-cables one by one on the motherboard of the Macbook pro and discovered that when I pulled the cable which reaches over the optical device (just above the SATA-cable for the optical device) then I get a white screen and I'm able to get as far as boot-option, or even disk repair (if I run my SSD-disk over USB and without any cables (three of them) attacked to the motherboard).
    So since nothing works when I have disks connected or that third cable (some kind of logic board bridge? Reaches through the screen over to the other side of the mother board).
    Also worth noting is that I was running out of free disk-space on my system disk. The disk is 250 Gb and free space was about 5-10 Gb (less than 5%). I also make the macbook pro dump contents of memory to disk (since my disk is encrypted it resides safely there).
    So, my fear is that Apple hasn't used A-grade controllers for the disk drives (I've had drive corruption before, a Crucial 6 GB/s drive trashed less than a week before a presentation) and doesn't handle "unexpected events" nor signal/noise ratio very well. Maybe free space on disk was less than the 8 Gb needed to dump RAM (shouldn't have needed the full 8 Gb though) and this caused some kind of panic overwrite which trashed the controller?
    Anyways, I've attached an image of the motherboard and I am wondering - what does the top cable which reaches over the optical drive do? Is it connected to the logic-board?

    Looks to me like a fatal error on the hard disk. IMHO, the only solution is to boot from an external device, reformat the hard drive, and restore from backup. If you don't have a backup, you're in trouble. Boot from the external device, try to mount the int'l drive, and, if successful, back up as much as possible. Also, try running Disk Utility—it may be possible to fix it while booted from a different device, thought I wouldn't bank on it. At any rate, make sure to run an AHT afterwards, to check for possible hardware issues with the drive.
    If the machine is still covered by AppleCare, take it to the store by all means. But they won't try to recover anything from the int'l drive, just check it, erase it if they don't find hardware issues, and re-install a fresh copy of the OS.
    That's why you should always have at least 1 up-to-date backup (2, with one kept off-site, is better).

  • 15in Macbook Pro early 2011 won't shutoff nor can I run disk utilities. Any suggestions?

    Situation:
    I have a 15in Macbook Pro early 2011 that I can not shutdown nor can I run disk utility to repair any issues. I recently had it serviced to replace a failing hard drive.
    Known issues:
         - Disk Utility: Will not respond. A couple days ago I had to run it to repair some damage to harddrive. When I try to open it, it is frozen with the rainbow ball.
         - Shutdown: I can not shutdown or restart my computer as it freezes during shutdown with grey screen. I can manually turn it on and off by holding down the      power button.
         - Disc Drive: This may not be related but I can not eject DVD in the disc drive.
    Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated. I currently live overseas (for school) so just going to an Apple store is not really a realistic option for me at this time. Thanks

    Take it back to where you had it serviced, there is usually a ~90 day guarantee
    you can force a shutdown by holding the power button for longer than usual.

  • Macbook pro thunderbolt 2011 won't detect display

    I am working on a Macbook Pro, October, 2011 model with a thunderbolt port.  I have now gone through two thunderbolt to HDMI cables and neither was able to detect my display, which is a Sony Bravia.  Should I throw in the towel and buy a $50 (rip-off) cable from Apple, or could it possibly be that my port is faulty?  Anyone with a similiar problem? 

    No, don't buy expensive cables.  Do you have a url (link) to the cable you are using?
    On what basis do you think that your computer doesn't detect your TV?
    If you opened Displays system preferences, click Detect Displays.  Is there an Arrangement tab and an does it show two monitors?  If not, then there is indeed a physical problem Make sure the cable is fully seated in the HDMI on the TV and the TB socket on the computer and also make sure your TV is set to take input from the HDMI input port you connected the cable to.
    If the Arrangement tab is there and shows two screens click Gather Windows.  This should bring the Displays preference window for the TV on to your main screen.  Then set the resolution (probably 720p, 1080i, or 1080p) and refresh rate (probably 60Hz).  At this point you should see a picture on your TV.
    You may have to play the underscan/overscan settings on your TV and the displays prefs for the TV if the picture is too small or larger for the TV screen.  If Sony's haven't changed they may call it "full pixel".

  • Macbook Pro (Late 2011) Won't read game

    My Macbook Pro (Late 2011) plays dvds (I used Family guy to test) but will not read the disk for Football Manager 2015 despite it being Mac compatible. THe disk itself runs on PC so isn't faulty. Any thoughts? 
    Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory  4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)

    Thanks, OrangeMarlin.  Lots to learn about in land of the Macs.
    Point taken on the driver.  The reason I'm hesitant to assume it's power related is because everything else works.  Here is a short list of other devices I've used it for in the week or so I've owned this machine:
    iPad (connected fine and charged iPad to full)
    Seagate GoFlex (connects fine, but this device also uses wall power)
    Samsung Spinpoint HDD (in an aluminum Rosewill enclosure, also uses wall power)
    iPod Classic (fifth gen, 30GB), also charges
    Samsung Captivate (Android phone), charges
    I got this machine from the Apple store last week, when I swapped out my original purchase MBP due to a screen defect.  I asked them to run a gamet of tests to ensure everything OK, and they complied (at least claimed to).  I assume if I brought it back, with the drive, they would be able to test for a power issue, correct?
    Thanks again.

  • Macbook Pro late 2011 suddenly slow after months using Yosemite. Never noticed kernel_task until this happened.

    My MacBook Pro late 2011 has recently slowed to snails pace after successfully running Yosemite from a clean install for many months.
    I always have Activity monitor running to keep an eye on memory and CPU.  When the issue started, I noticed Kernel_task for the first time and its 0.5 to 1GB.
    I have verified/repaired the disk and repaired permissions in Safe Mode.  Also done SMC and PRAM resets.
    CPU usage is usually 2% or less unless number crunching in Excel or watching videos.
    I created a new user account, which is much faster in opening Safari and searching.  There is no Kernel_task showing for the new user.
    Cardo-updater is for a motorcycle bluetooth headset.
    Xquartz is for GIMP.
    Rogueamoeba is for Audio Hijack Pro.
    These three have been in use since day 1 of Yosemite and before in Mavericks.
    Etrecheck results
    Oddities - I don't know what the disk info not mounted means.  Not mounting the Recovery disk looks scary to me as uninformed.
    Time machine disk too small - thought I was using a 1 TB drive !!
    Problem description:
    MBP late 2011 has become very slow after a few months after a Yosemite clean install.  Kernel_task memory circa 1 GB.  CPU activity is a few percent.  Created a new user. Activity monitor does not show Kernel_task at all.  Much faster as the new user. Permissions repaired in Safe mode.  SMC and PRAM reset done.  Short hardware test (option D on boot) - no problems.  I have VirtualBox to run XP at times for some Win apps.

  • Macbook pro wifi security won't let me connect to public/login networks

    I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro retina switching from Windows to Mac. One very frustrating thing I have found is that I am unable to connect to public wifi spots such as AT&T in Barnes and Noble. I read that a security udpate requires that the mac "phone" an Ip address at apple.com to inquire about the hotspot certificate in order to determine its legitimacy. The problem is I can't gain network access until I agree to the login/authentication page for the public network. Does anyone know a work around/way to connect to these public wifi spots? I get that security is important but it is very annoying not to be able to use wifi in places like Barnes and Nobles and Starbucks.

    I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro retina switching from Windows to Mac.

  • Macbook pro early 2011 won't turn on

    My MacBook Pro was working fine until an evening, when it suddenly turned off. It was connected to power and had about 70% charge. The Magsafe indicator turned off along with the mac, but it turned green soon. It still stays green and won't change to amber. Without the magsafe connected, the battery indicators won't respond. If the magsafe is connected, 6 battery indicators lit up as usual. I tried resetting the SMC, but no success. I tried looking for burned areas in the logic board, but everything seems fine.
    (Small red ants were frequent visitors of my lap, when it was left unattended for an hour. They usually came out from beneath the keys when I am back Just saying... )

    One more thing, I had my 1TB external HDD connected to the mac via USB, when all these happend. (http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=470)

  • I have two different iCloud accounts. I can't sign into photo stream with my personal account and have tried deleting from my iPhone first, then the MacBook Pro. Still won't let me sign in with the personal account. Please help.

    I have two different iCloud accounts - business and personal. I can't sign into Photo Stream with my personal account because it says my business account is my primary account. They are separate but equal accounts. I have tried deleting the iCloud account from my iPhone, then my MacBook Pro and signing in again on both devices. The iPhone says that my primary account ismy personal account (which is good) but my MacBook Pro still will not sign into that account so I can use Photo Stream.
    Any suggestions? This iCloud stuff is getting annoying.

  • HT1338 Hi I have a dell colour laser printer ref 3115 cn. I have tried to load driver etc so I can use it with my new Macbook Pro. Its won't let me do it. How do I do it?

    Hi I have a Dell colour laser printer ref 3115 cn. I have tried laoding the driver buy my MacBook Pro wont allow it?
    Any idea's?

    The Dell specifications indicate that this is a multifunction device.  The printing portion is supposed to be able to use either PostScript or PCL 6.  You should be able to use a generic color PostScript PPD or use the generic pxlcolor driver from OpenPrinting.org.  There is not much chance of getting scanning to work with OS X.
    The Gutenprint drivers will not provide what you need.  They only support balck and white printing for laser printers.
