MacBook Pro 3.1 von USB bootfähig?

Ich habe ein MacBook Pro 3.1, jetzt ist mein Superdrive nach sehr weniger benützung schon das 3te mal kaputt, jetzt mag ich nicht mehr....
Konn ich von einem externen USB Laufwerk booten?

I am having something similar happen. When I try to put my MBP 8,2 with external monitor connected, it flickers and comes back on and if I try again the screen will go black but still show the cursor and I can hear the fans or hdd ever so slightly. Then a miniute or two later it will actually go to sleep.
It will not go to sleep on it's own anymore. It flickers and comes right back up.

    Hi Auracles1,
    Here's a pretty discussion regarding wireless printing with this device and a Mac.
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-networking-and-wireless/HP-Officejet-6500-E 709n-wireless-issue/m-p/258853
    I have a similar OfficeJet and it was a multi-step process. (1) Install printer drivers on the machine, (2) Add the printer queue in print & fax, (3) Run the "setup wizard" from the disc for wireless printing.

    You will need to install an App like Print Central on the iPad to try to print to the printer. It will allow you to print to most printers. Check with their support folks if you need more info.

    Sometimes you have to reset the SMC two or three times for it to work, don't know why. I've seen that error message before and 100% of the time it was fixed with an SMC reset. I suppose it's possible that your keyboard or mouse IS drawing too much power, do you have access to another you could try?

    Hi,
    I purchased Huawei Dongle and trying to connect with my new MacBook Pro (OS- Mountain Lion) USB port 3.0 but unfortunately it does not support.
    When I plugged in my macbook the power is flowing in dongle due green light blinking twice in every 3 sec but no connection found or diver shown.
    Please let me know how I have to use it. I got some suggestion for USB hub 2.0 but It does not make any sense and driver installation.
    So please suggest proper direction to use it and provide link to install any driver.
    Thanks
    Tauheed Ahmad

    Yes Clinton I did same, but they were (Huawei customer support) surprised about this problem, They behave like they have no idea about USB 2.0 and  3.0 knowledge. They handsUp that reason I posted my problem in this forum.
    So is there any better solution to use any mediator between these USB version handling, Please let me know.
    Thanks

  • MacBook pro 13" mid 2010 "USB drawing too much power" HELP

    Hi, my MacBook Pro keeps coming up with a window about 30 after start up saying "USB drawing too much power" and none if the USB ports work neither does the iSight camera (green light is constantly on) and the headphone jack won't work! I have tried re installing OSX but it hasn't worked! Apart from an SMC reset and a PRAM what else can I try? Absolutely nothing is plugged in not a single cable or keyboard or mouse just my MacBook on its own, is it definitely a software problem or am I going to have to get apple to repair the hardware because I do not have that much money to replace a logic board and get apple to replace it themselves. Thanks in advance!

    I hope it works for you ...

  • MacBook Pro no longer recognizes USB external hard drives or built-in iSight

    I have an older MacBook Pro 17" Intel that I use with various external USB hard drives (8 of them). It is connected to my LG 720p 32" flatscreen and works perfectly. Recently, when visiting, I disconnected my external HDs and connected my MBP to my brother's LG 1080p and it was OK.
    When I returned home and reconnected my external HDs and TV, it would not recognize the HDs and couldn't find my built-in iSight. Viewing System Information, the USB buses showed an assortment of items, such as the Apple Internal Keyboard/Trackpad, IR Receiver, and Bluetooth USB Host Controller in the buses. The High-Speed Bus showed an external HD as a Vendor-Specific Device, but none of these appeared on the desktop. I plugged in my external iSight to Firewire and it showed up in Photobooth, iChat, and Skype.
    What is the problem and can I fix it myself or must I take it to be serviced?
    Has anyone encountered the same problem? Got any answers?
    I really would appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks.

    I have never heard of this before, but the fact that your external iSight works shows that at least some parts of your Macv's AV circuitry are undamaged. 
    Depending on exactly how you "disconnected" your "external HDs and connected" your "MBP to" your "brother's LG 1080p", I suppose it is possible that your software settings have been compromised somehow.   Here is what I would try if my system showed the symptoms you describe.
    (0) Start by making a current backup if you do not already have one.
    Then try any of the following you have not already considered or used.  Use them in any order you think appropriate and test after each one to determine if the problem is resolved:
    (1) Shut down (do not merely restart) your MBP.  Wait a couple of minutes before starting.
    (2) Test in a different user (NOT the "Guest") account: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mtusr001.html
    (3) Reset SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    (4) Reset PRAM: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mh26871.html
    (5) Repair your startup disk: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mchlp1718.html
    (6) Reinstall Lion and apply the 10.7.2 Combo Update:  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1459
    (7) Contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service

  • MacBook Pro (mid-2010) Internal USB HUB freezes/locks up

    MacBook Pro (mid-2010) wilth the latest firmware, etc.
    OS X 10.9.1
    USB KVM to share keyboard and mouse with another computer
    This has been working flawlessly until I upgraded to 10.9.1
    The KVM uses the Scroll Lock key to toggle the input between the two computers
    I switch back and forth many times a day.
    Almost once a day now, all my input to my MBP will lock up when switching the KVM over.
    The MBP track pad, keyboard, blue tooth Magic Mouse, KVM mouse and keyboard all become unresponsive.
    I am assuming that the interal keyboard/track pad/blue tooth transceiver are all tied to an internal USB HUB.
    The MBP is up and running and I can ssh into it.  The only error message in the log is that the mouse device coming from the KVM is busy and it will be disabled. I have tried to close the lid for several minutes and then re-open, but it does not resolve the issue. I have tried connecting another USB mouse/keyboard during this time and it will not work. I have tried kill -HUP on the usbd and USBAgent processes. Everything stays unresponsive. The only way to resolve this condition is to reboot the MBP.  Note: the KVM works find on the other computer when I switch it back and forth regardless of the state of the MBP.
    I am suspecting that when this happens it is some how disabling the internal USB HUB, which if all the other devices are connected through it, nothing no longer works (but maybe I am crazy with that thought).  Anyone have any insight?  Is there a way to reset the internal HUB short of a reboot?
    Thanks in advance!

    I'm seeing the same problem with a 2010 Mac Mini with IOGear KVM and MS wireless mouse. This setup worked flawlessly for years on Snow Leopard but started hanging soon after the Mavericks upgrade. I'm running 10.9.4, currently the latest release. The system usually hangs after a KVM keyboard switch from Windows on the other set of KVM cables back to the Mac Mini. ssh into OSX works fine but a shutdown hangs indefinitely. top showed no processes spinning. The 1st console message after the hang was:
    8/6/14 8:49:21.000 PM    kernel[0]    USBF:    1317978.201    AppleUSBHubPort: Port 2 of Hub at 0x6200000 about to terminate a busy device (Microsoft® 2.4GHz Transceiver v7.0) after waiting 10 seconds
    There were no other messages for hours before this. I'm using VM Fusion but I think it hung once without it running. The Windows 7 side of the KVM works fine.

  • MacBook Pro- Can't Find USB

    I have a Macbook Pro and when I plug my USB in, it doesn't show up on my desktop or in my finder. I read where i should have a "devises" tap on the sidebar of the finder menu, but I don't. I think I've accidentally made it to where its hidden somehow. When I take the USB out it gives me a notification that the hardware was not ejected properly. And if I put a sim card in that has pictures or video on it, it opens in Aperature.. so i know its reading the USB, I'm just not sure how to find it.

    By "USB" I assume you mean an external drive plugged into a USB port????
    In any event, when in Finder, go to preferences. Check the items you wish to see in the sidebar. I cannot understand why a drive that is "there" would not appear on the desktop.

  • Can anyone recommend a USB CF card reader that will work in my Macbook Pro Retina? My USB card readers for CF cards do not work

    At present, the only way I can load photos from a CF card to my new Macbook Pro Retina is by loading them onto an external hard drive via an old PC that can accept either of my USB card readers, then plugging the external hard drive into my MBP. Neither the USB card reader or the cable that comes with the Canon HDSLR camera will transfer photos directly to my MBP. I find it unbelievable that I have to go to a PC to load photos because I can't do it with my new MBP.
    Has anyone found a reliable USB CF card reader, or one that connects via thunderbolt or HDMI, at any price, that will work directly with the new MBP Retina?

    This is what we need:
    Location photoshoot - we use the Canon EOS 5D  Mk II still camera & the Canon FX100 pro camcorder.
    CF cards are: SanDisk Extreme UDMA & SanDisk Extreme Pro UDMA 6 for video (I think they are both Type II) My Mac recognises them both as FAT 32 format
    My MBPRetina is on the latest version of Mountain Lion OSX 10.83
    the files from the camcorder will transfer to my MacBook Pro Retina directly via the camera's cable but it is quite slow & it means I cannot continue to film while downloading files but this we can live with.
    the files from the still camera Canon EOS 5D  Mk II will not transfer directly via the camera's cable - have yet to get the Canon software to download, but via the camera's cable will not help anyway as we need to have the still camera free to keep shooting.
    We need to be able to take out the CF card from the first part of the shoot & download the still shots while just on the Macbook's battery power, while we insert a fresh CF card back into the still camera to continue with the next part of the shoot simultaneously (while the first card is downloading.)
    The files from the first part of the shoot will be both in RAW (.CR2) & Jpeg format. We just need to quickly transfer the jpegs, then I do a quick sort, batch the best ones as black/white images, & use these in a client slideshow immediately after part 2 of the shoot.
    Obviously we need fast data transfer speeds, & rely on the MBP's battery power while on a location shoot.
    The card readers I have tried are an older specific CF card reader branded as Palm, & a USB 2 multi card reader branded as Travel Flash. With both readers, the lights on the readers flash on & off, & the MBP recognises the card & the files will even appear both in Finder & in i-Photo, so it starts importing, then aborts with an error message saying:
    'The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “” can’t be read or written.
    (Error code -36)'
    & another message saying:
    'the disk was not ejected properly'.
    So it appears the MBP does read the CF cards but the card readers don't stay connected, no matter what angle I put them on or however many times I re-connect them.
    Yes, they are probably cheap & I want to buy a decent one.
    So, in summary:
    the card reader needs to work when the MBPR is only on battery power (I read in some forums that some USB card readers aren't so reliable on the laptop's battery power)
    the card reader needs to be quite fast. I have read the USB 3 readers won't read CF cards at higher than USB 2 speeds. Is this true? Are the firewire connected ones faster, & if so, are they still reliable on the MBP's battery power?
    From research, it appears my problem is associated with my specific model of Mac & platform, being MacBook Retina on Mountain Lion OSX Version 10.83. If any of the recommended card readers have been successful with this, plese let me know.
    Thanks heaps for the suggestions so far.

  • Win 7 on MacBook pro under bootcamp and USB to serial

    Hi all,
    I am planning running win 7 under bootcamp on my macbook pro with mountain lion 10.8.2.
    There is only one program I want to run under windows and that program needs to use a USB to serial converter made by KeySpan.
    Question is once win 7 is installed will I then be able to install the windows drivers for the keyspan device as if I was on a win 7 PC?
    Thanks

    Silvolde wrote:
    One more question: where do I download the apple drivers or does that happen automatically?
    Nope. The first thing that the BootCamp Assistant offers you is to create a drivers CD or USB flashdrive. Once Windows installation is complete, you use that media to install drivers that allow Win7  to identify and use properly the Mac's hardware. Else it will use generic drivers that may not work fully.
    Run the first step of Assistant again if you missed that. It won't mess up your installation.

  • MacBook Pro with Third Party USB External Modem ? Drivers? Network Pane?

    I bought my brother a MacBook Pro last month, and he is using it fine in Pakistan with my Airport base station and cable internet access. Problem is when he is on the road, and using GPRS with his Sony Ericsson P900/910 is terribly expensive there. So, I have to send him an Apple USB modem (that I am yet to hear good things about). However, he does have an external third party USB modem that works fine with PC laptops. Are there any generic drivers for USB modems built into OS X in MacBooks? How would he go about using the external USB modem in Network control panel and using a generic driver?
    Is there a way to use Parallels (that he has) to connect to Internet from the Windoze USB modem and have MacOS X use the Windows connection as the "router"? Thanks.
