Making calls while plugged to MacBook Pro or ACD or USB Hub
When I connect iPhone to MacBook Pro to sync and charge, it's not possible to make or receive calls. Even after unplugging, I can't make/receive calls and I have to either turn it off or soft reset. Is this normal?
I have an iPhone 3G dock. I have tried several ways to connect it: direct to MacBook Pro, to Apple Cinema Display-MBP, to Belkin USB Hub-ACD-MBP. I have even tried without the dock. Same problem every time.
Any idea?
My problem is solved. It happens that the dock was placed between the Macbook Pro, Time Capsule and a speaker. After multiple tests, I realized that the iPhone mounted on the dock works perfectly well if dock is placed somewhere else away from these items. Right now, the dock is connected to a powered USB hub, then to Apple Cinema Display and then to MacBook Pro.
By the way, it also works well if the iPhone is connected using the usb cable only, without the dock, even if it's placed between these items. I personally think that Time Capsule causes some kind of interference with the dock.
Hope this helps to someone else.

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. -
Why is it that when I plug my Macbook Pro to an external monitor, the external monitor turns black and shows the mouse only
Hi, yes preferences sees there is a second display it recognises what make of monitor it is etc but I just get a blank blue screen on the monitor when I change it to the hdmi setting! I have tried with mirroring on and off, rearranging the displays in the preference window and lots of different resolution settings but with no difference.
An old MacBook connects fine so the monitor and hdmi port must be okay. I'm sure we have used the cable before but it could have been with the previous MacBook Air. The current one I'm using is a mid 2011 version running lion and is (according to software update) all up to date.
Any thoughts or help would be appreciated! -
i plugged in my ipod and now i get the error message: Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled" - i have a MAcBook pro and now my USB ports do not work - can anyone help me ???
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?

While updating my MacBook Pro to the newest software, it froze with a grayish screen with a Apple logo and a frozen pinwheel right below it. What can I do to finish updating or to fix this problem?
We can't help you if you don't even know what you are installing. Never install anything if you do not know what it is. Installings through Software Update always have explanations which you should be reading to see if you actually need and/or want them.
That being said, it appears you attempted to upgrade to Mavarick. Although I am not positive.
Sorry, I am going to back out of this because I nor you know what it was you installed. Hopefully, someone else will chime in here.
GOOD LUCK! -
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 AhmadYes 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

Its a brand new MacBook Pro.Hi,
Took the MacBook Pro 13" to Mapple Shop-Auth Service Centre in Mangalore.
Gave the mechine and they took it for diagnose. Later when contacted and informed the same to Apple Cust care, they inform Apple doesnt have any Auth Service Center in Mangalore.
Whom shall i trust.......????
I really feel it was a wrong step buying a Mac.
Contacted Reliance Digital, the Auth Retail guys, from whom i bought the Mac. i asked for replacement. They say, it cannot be provided and Reliance Tech will troubleshoot on it.
Can somebody help me out from this trouble. -

I can print from my macbook pro using airport express usb connected printer, however my iPad and iphone are looking for an airprint printer. Can I direct the iPad/iphone to the usb connected printer. Macbook iphone and iPad confirm a wifi connection through the airport express.
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.

I USED TO be able to make phone calls using continuity on my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) with Yosemite (10.10) via my iPhone 6 Plus on iOS 8.1 without any problems. Once I updated Yosemite to 10.10.1, my iPhone's springboard would continually crash where it brings up the Apple logo and quickly restarts repeatedly until I end the call. Just so that you know, I am able to stay on the call while this is occurring the whole time.
I need to reiterate, this all started happening as soon as I updated Yosemite to 10.10.1 while still on iOS 8.1. I know this because I made a few phone calls (loving the feature), updated Yosemite to 10.10.1, then made a few phone calls afterwards, and this started happening.
When iOS 8.1.1 came out, I eagerly updated hoping this issue would go away, and it did not. I'm hoping Apple notices this post. If anyone else has this problem, please contact Apple and chime in this post as well. Thank you Apple for incorporating continuity calling. I love this feature, but need to use it without my phone's springboard constantly crashing.I have this issue as well. I am using an iPhone 6 plus, iPad Air 2, 5K iMac, and MacBook Pro. When I make a continuity calls from any device, the springboard crashes. This only happens with outgoing calls, incoming calls are functioning normal. I am currently working with multiple Apple Senior Advisors, and they are working directly with iOS a engineers. I have an active open case and will update this thread when a resolution is found.
Just a tip for everyone with this issue, restoring your devices and setting them up as new WILL NOT correct this issue. Save yourself the hassle. I did this with my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook and the issue still persists. -
Additionally, the wifi icon at the top of the screen has an exclamation mark on the MacBook Pro that doesn't connect. We've tried restarting the machine, the Time Capsule but nothing has helped.
Just called Apple Support and it turns out we had the settings wrong. We're all set now!

IPhone 5 getting really really hot when plugged into MacBook Pro Retina?
Hi
I have had my Macbook for about 1 month and I recently discovered that my phone is getting extremely hot while charging through USB port.
I was not sure if it was my phone as I was having issues with volume buttons, so was not sure if I had some dodgy software or something. So I went to the apple store and it was replaced as it was actually a hardware issue.
But then with my new replacement iphone 5 I am still having the same issue of the phone becoming unbearable to touch because it is so hot!
Does anyone know if there is an issue with the Macbook Pro Retina's giving out too much power and whether I should go and see someone about the issue ? But in the mean time is it still okay for my phone to be charge this way?
Thanks

"So far so good on the iPhone but it does not appear to be charging when I have it plugged into my MacBook Pro."
My iPhone charges when connected to my MacBook.
"FYI...the Edge Network out here in Wichita (of all freaking places) Kansas is pretty darn fast. I was really, pleasantly surprised. It does not help my heartbreak over moving to this burg from Sausalito but it helps a little."
Even data is anxious to leave Wichita, it seems .. and wants to linger in Sausalito

Received a Facetime Call from My Stolen Macbook Pro Today - Trackable?
Long Story Short:
My 15" Macbook Pro was stolen recently on July 28th 2011 while travelling to Boston .
Today:
My [wonderful!] 12 year old sister, who has been attempting to facetime my Mac from her iPod Touch since that time had a weird/(hopefully great?) thing happen
- After a few attempts at calling my username with no answer, someone who was logged into MY account actually called her back. When answering the call, the camera was covered with hands, she was able to get a screenshot though it probably may not help much.
- My immediate thought was to try and track the incoming IP where the call was made from. So after calling my ISP (Verizon FIOS) I was told that they had no record of any incoming/outgoing IP addresses communicating with my computer (I hope I'm describing it correctly)...which I know can't be true.
- iPod Touch was connected through WEP Wifi to our Verizon FIOS Router.
- I have already called the Philadelphia Police who are conducting an investigation into this. Waiting to hear back.
- Am also going to visit my Local Police to see what they can do
I am wondering if anyone can help point me in the right direction to track the IP of the call that was made. Any software which I can install to track any FUTURE incoming communication for the next time I try and call my account back.
Thanks in advance!http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319
