Midi and USB hub on new MINI causes kernal panics.

I purchased the lozenge shaped Belkin 4-port powered
USB2.0 hub from the apple store yesterday. I had two
midi interfaces plugged into it. As soon as MIDI
hits it (from Logic Pro 7) the Mini has a Kernel
Panic that requires a power cycle. Using the devices
plugged directly into the MINI works fine.
Any other experience similar situations?
Thanks
Chris
Hi Chris,
Does the USB hub come with a power adapter?Some midi interfaces need the 5 volts from the usb bus in order to work properly(I have an edirol that only works this way,unless I power it with it's own power supply).
Cheers,

Mac mini (07) Kernal panics

Hello...
My sister was using the mac mini and then it showed up with a kernal panic screen.
I held the power button down and shut it off, but when I rebooted it started beeping.
it only beeped 3 times and blinked the light.
of course I shut down the mac mini.
unplugged everything waited a minute powered it back on and then it started beeping again.
I waited 2 hours later and it got to a weird desktop
it was the default BG with a transparent finder bar.
a window popped up telling me that Mac OS X crashed.
yet again after the window it beach balled and then another kernal panic.
the thing is I video taped it turning on and beeping at startup.
but my apple care has run out (I believe it has been past a year already)
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You might be able to hook it up to another Mac and print from there. Use Target Disk Mode:

It doesn't need any RAM from the Mini.
If you don't have another Mac, take it to an authorized reseller or an Apple retail store and ask them to put it on a flash drive so you can print it from another machine. Sometimes Mac usergroups may have people who can help you to.

PPC Update 10.4.7 and USB hub problems

Hi,
After installing the PPC 10.4.7 combo update on my PowerPC G5 dual 2.7 GHz (4GB RAM) I have problems with my USB hub. The update seemed to have been installed properly (two reboots and no error messages) but since then my Kensington track ball does no longer work after power on. I have to detach and reattach the USB hub to reactivate the trackball. The problem does not occur after a restart (only after a power off/on cycle).
The USB hub did work before the update and I did not change the configuration after the update.
I hope someone can help me with this as it is very frustrating for me to crawl under my desk to detach and reattach the USB hub every time I turn on my mac...
Thanks for any help!

I can't help you, but I wanted to say that I have a similar problem. After a sleep/wake, my hub doesn't wake up. I have done a bunch of troubleshooting, including buying a new hub, which did not solve the problem (I took it back). When I reboot, all is back to normal. I have a 2001 Powermac G4 with a Sonnet Allegro USB 2.0 card that I added, over a year ago. It has worked fine since I bought it. Now, after upgrading to OS 10.4.7, I have this sleep/wake problem with the USB hub (Keyspan).
I have checked the ports on the USB card and I have found that at least one port is dead when I wake the machine back up. I can switch over devices around and they work in the remaining three ports on the board. The hub, however, does not work at all in any port, until after a reboot. There must be some special signal that the board sends out to the hub that resets it after a boot. I don't know. It's very frustrating, though. I don't like waiting for a reboot, which is why I have gotten in the habit of using sleep.
Maybe someone else has some idea what might be causing this problem? It could be just a coincidence that it started soon after the OS update. Maybe the board just decided to go bad at this particular time...?

Airport Extreme and USB Hub + Printer and Hard Drives

I have been using my Airport Extreme with a USB hub with 2 external hard drives and one printer for a while now and everything has been going fine. However, recently, the hard drives have stopped registering when I have the USB hub plugged in. I have plugged the hub directly into my computer with everything attached and it works fine but the moment I plug the hub into the Airport, nothing shows up except that the printer still works.
Does anyone know what is wrong? Thanks!

Hi, I've had this same problem now for more than 1 year, and nothing had solved it, until recently. I think I know what the problem is.
It turns out that not all USB 2.0 hard drive enclosures are the same. I had been using "Metalgear Substance II" enclosures for my 500-GB drives, and I had assumed all along that these were fine... I had assumed that one USB 2.0 enclosure was as good as the next USB 2.0 enclosure. WRONG!!!
By accident, I noticed that the drive-to-drive copy times from MetalGear USB 2.0 boxes was about 22 hours for a full 450-GByte transfer of information, while placing the SAME drive into a MacAlley enclosure reduced the copy time down from 22 hours to 6 hours... About 3.5 times faster!!! This means that the piece of crud Metalgear boxes I had been using for my network drives were ssssllllooowwww.
A big bright light blinked on in my head regarding my issues and problems with the Apple Airport Extreme Base-station and all of the problems I'd had with multiple drives, the AEBS locking up etc.. All of my issues had been associated with using the el-cheapo Metalgear enclosures.
As soon as I replaced the Metalgear USB boxes with MacAlley boxes, everything started to work great. No more issues with my Airport locking up. None. Problem fixed. Problem solved.
I can only assume that NOT ALL USB 2.0 BOXES ARE THE SAME. USB 2.0 does not mean that the transfer rates will actually be at 480-mbps. Quality matters. DO NOT USE METALGEAR BOXES WITH APPLE EXTREME. There may be other brands with suck just as much. I can vouch for the MacAlley boxes. They work great... and there may be other boxes that work too. There must be some issue with Apple Airport Base Station timing out on slower USB 2.0 crapola equipment... something that causes it to hang.
Anyway, I hope this helps. My problems are solved since going to the MacAlley enclosures.

Yosemite 10.10.2 and USB hub issue

Hi there,
I got a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), OS X Yosemite last December and bought a USB hub (four-port) on Jan 3rd. I was using it for one month with
OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 without any problems.
On Feb 4th I switch to OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 and I started to have 2-4 times the following issue per day:
- mac frozen (I cannot use the keyboard or the mouse) but I see that the clock is working. No other way that a hard reset.
I did check memory and hard drive and everything is ok
- for one week I did use the USB hub and didn't have any issue
- I started again and less than 24h hour later I got a similar issue !
I am not 100% sure this related to 10.10.2 but before with 10.10.1 I had no issue ! I am not sure to understand how a USB hub can crash a Mac.
I try to look a the Consol application but couldn't really identify a common issue a the time of the issue but maybe some messages like that :
Any idea or suggestion ?
Thanks
Cheers

External Hard Drive and USB Hubs

I need some help. I have a 320GB External Hard Drive which uses 2 USB Ports. I also have an external keyboard and mouse, using USB. I first purchased a 'passive' USB hub and the Mac was unable to recognize the External Hard Drive. So, I purchased a USB Hub powered by AC. The External Hard Drive lights up, but the Computer does not recognize it. Is there a recommended USB Hub that will allow the external hard drive to make the hand shake with my MacBook ?

Check with the drive manufacturer to determine if there is an alternative power source for the drive. I've never liked self powered drives and that so many made today require two USB ports is just one of the reasons why.

New mini is 7.0.4 and current ipad is 7.1.1 and I cannot update new mini

Trying to set up new mini but it is 7.0.4 and icloud on my ipad is 7.1.1 and is not compatible....

Go ahead and set up your iPad as a new device but do not apply your backup to it. Once the iPad is connected to Wi-Fi and running update it's iOS to 7.1.1. Then restore the new mini using the iCloud backup made with iOS 7.1.1.

Airport Extreme and USB hub

Okay I connected a hub to my USB on the airport extreme. Now I can see both hard drives however I get an IP address conflict and the network basically shuts down. Is there something I am missing here?

Try reading the entire conversation, Duane, and you'll realize that I'm fully aware of the fact that he's talking about a USB hub. And let me point out the fact that your misunderstanding makes no sense because even if I had thought he was talking about an ethernet hub, an ethernet hub has no IP address of its own.
His problem is that he gets an error message indicating that an IP that has already been allocated is being used by another device. A USB hub gets no IP nor does a simple USB external drive. Still, when he plugs in the hub that error message pops up. Why? The only explanation I could come up with is that one of the drives he is attaching to the USB hub isn't a standard external USB drive.
Have I connected all the dots for you okay?

Macbook Pro and USB HUB

Let me start with this. My Macbook Pro (4 yrs old) has only 2 usb ports, so I went to buy a USB HUB. I bought Pentagram HUB USB 4P Passive [P 1224-3] , I plug it in. Small green light on it is on. Then I plug the printer, wireless mouse receiver and a WD Passport 160GB. None of the above are working. (The printer has it's own power cable). Where's the problem. Is it the HUB or something else?
Please help.

It's the hub. "Passive" is the key to your problem.
An "active" or "powered" hub prevents devices from drawing more power than the ports can deliver. Your big consumer is the WD passport drive. You're powering not only the electronics but also an electric motor.
If you mainly need the hub for working in a home or office environment, always go for the powered type. The passive hub may work for travel as long as you limit the number of devices.

E7's USB On The Go and USB hubs

I'm curious, does E7's USB On The Go allow connecting multiple devices, i.e. a mouse and a keyboard through an USB hub?

Think that it has to be a single device and is all down to power requirement of device which must not exceed 200mA, so HDD would need to be powered.

IPhone and USB hub ....

Hi,
Is there a reason why my iPhone does not show up when connected to my USB 2.0 hub ??? If connected to my iMac it shows up ...
Thanks in advance.

Apple usually prevents problems that simple. My computer's 3 USP ports are already crowded ... Plugging my iPhone to my iMac is a plug/unplug situation.
So plug your other devices into the hub and reserve one dedicated USB port for the iPhone.
I would have also thought Apple would have implemented a feature that exists already in most of cell phones, a wireless connection to sync with the computer. No wireless and no USB hub connection.
The iPhone is not most cell phones. It is a unique piece with unique features. If it did everything that other cells did the same way there would be no need for it.
If I add to that the absence of a search feature in iCal and Address Book, the fact that they are no notes already implemeted, I would say they are letting go features bit by bit. Design is good and can get iPhone sold, but we usually think of Apple more like a genial feature driven architect.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.htm.
Narrowing us to use only one cellular company to get a share of our ATT's (or other cell phone companies) monthly cell fees is the biggest insult to the Apple community. In business we call this a «kick back» and it is normally badly perceived. You sell your product a decent price and with honest and upfront conditions and customers will respect and be loyal. I really don't appreciate this move from Apple and me and my family are loyal users since 1984. Considering asiatic markets are potential buyers and can give Apple big profits, Apple can afford to offer a unlocked iPhone to the world.
Its not uncommon for a cell to be locked to a carrier upon initial release. In addition to this, there are a few features on the iPhone (Visual Voicemail) that required the carriers to upgrade their current systems. This could not have been offered with an unlocked release.

Safari causing kernal panics and random shutdowns and overheating.

My original Inel macbook pro is getting rather sick and I am hoping to hold out for the new 15 inches when they eventually unpdate.
However Safari is causig all kinds of hangs restarts kernal panics overheating with my machine and yet if I use google chrome for the exact same web sites these same problems are not present. I much prefer to be able to keep using safari and I realise that I haev not got the most up to date software since Lion is not supported on my machine but it is as up todate as snow leaopard allows.
I also realise that a more than 5 year old machine is doing very well especially since it is rarely off. It has outlasted 2 timecapsules and countless airport express but the anomyly between 2 browsers is weird. I doubt this has a solution but maybe the odd apple tech who read this might find it a challenge to know why one browser causes heart issues but another doesn't.

If you're able to boot, launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post "shutdownStall" or "hang" reports.
If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally 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.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
