No Mouse or Keyboard entry..., have to replug the USB cord
After replacing the HDD to 500GB and adding RAM (+ 2x500MB, total 1,25GB RAM) i now occasionaly have problems with mouse or keyboard: suddenly no response to mouse or keyboard and i need to replug the USB cord to get it working again.
Also, after the upgrade, making use of large files, once in a while, i get the message to restart my computer!
Any idea what can be wrong?

Tiger 10.4.11
oh, gosh, sounds like a doozie. I think this was one of the problems (at least it was for my mom's G4 powerbook) and that's why we upgraded to 10.5, also try running diskwarrior, techtool maybe MacJanitor. Oh, and did you remember to push the cuda button inside after installing the ram and HD
you could also try this: hold down CommandApple+oF -open firmware boot
and at the basic screen type reset-nvram, then reset-all
then mac-boot. This MAY solve your problem
Good Luck

Early 2009 MacBook Air. On startup no keyboard or mouse me to login. Neither is the USB working so I cannot use an external mouse or keyboard either. If I keep restarting the machine suddenly sometime I get mouse and keyboard control and I am able to login and work. After sometime though mouse and keyboard Control is lost again and the machine hangs.
Lately another problem has cropped up. Now the machine starts up and seems to work for longer time but I have no 0 key and USB everything else is fine.
What could be the issue1. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
2. Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

The longer I have had my 2009 desktop iMac, the more I am needing usb ports. I only have 3 on the back. Currently 2 are used for the 2 printers I own and the other has a 3 branch hub in it for my mouse, keyboard and card reader. I have the mouse and keyboard attached this way as the cords work better for me in my workspace. I am using one of the ports on my keyboard for my mp3 player. Now I am branching out into the computer world and have tried using a flash drive. However when I tried plugging it into the other usb port on my keyboard, I get the message that there isn't enough power to support it. Same message when I tried one of the three ports in my hub. So the only way I could get my flashdrive to work was to unplug a printer, plug in the flash drive till I was done with it and then plug in the printer again. Since I am sure that this plugging and unplugging constantly would not be a good thing, I am now contemplating getting a better hub so I could permanently have a usb hub open for my flash drive. I figure I can always use a port on my keyboard for my card reader as I don't use that very often. My question is: "If I do get a better hub to put on my 3rd port on the back of the computer, will that be too much for the poor thing?"
Generally, you should use hubs (of which the keyboard is one) for devices which don't need to get their power from the USB port ("bus-powered"). Portable drives (including flash drives) are bus-powered; printers and other larger devices which have separate power cables are not. So the printers should attach to your hub, and small devices should connect directly to the Mac.
Now, some hubs are actually powered themselves, and these are better suited for powering small devices.
There are some good options here:

Are both your printers USB-only, or can they be networked (either wired or wirelessly)? That would save you some ports.

How do I configure my Airport Extreme to see the printer I have plugged into the USB port?
How do I configure my Airport Extreme to see the printer I have plugged into the USB port?
OK. The 6.0 version no longer has a printer configuration that I could find. You might try Printer Sharing in the Sharing preferences.
I would also check the printer's user manual for help with the setup, and that failing check the manufacturer's website and/or tech support. -
hi there, I need help .. I have 2 gen ipod touch and I restore my ipod around 11:00 pm and now its 1:20 am and on my screen its the iTunes logo and the usb cord and when I plug my charger in my laptop .. iTunes comes up and this what it saids "iTunes has detected an ipod recovery mode. you must restore this ipod before it can be used with iTunes" so what do I do.. do I let my ipod died right out & then try it .. because I restore it ,... it was beening to slow... so please help me ?
Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I have restored and updated my ipod from recovery mode, however I still have the usb cord and itunes icon on the ipod when it is switched on. How can I get my ipod to work again? I have updated and restored 5 times! When connected to itunes it only shows the summary page saying ipod in recovery mode.
Fixed it!
1. Made sure itunes software was up to date
2. Pressed and held 'home' button and 'on-off' button at the same time for about 10 seconds till ipod reset (I hadn't done this step previously)
3. Connected to itunes
4. Pressed restore and update ipod
Update successful and ipod taken out of recovery mode -
Can't get iphone to recognize itunes on my computer. do i have to use the original cord to connect? i can't find the cord. please advise.
Do you mean that iTunes doesn't recognize your phone when you plug it into your computer using the usb to dock cable? If so, see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538. (And yes, you need to use the usb to dock cable that came with your phone. If you dont' have it you'll have to buy another one.)

I am unable to download pictures from my Sony Cybershot to my iMac, I have tried using the USB port as well as simply inserting the memory stick into the slot. I have been able to do this in the past as recently as a few weeks ago.... Help please..
Thanks Eric for responding.
I checked and it does not appear in the Applications folder.
I tried yesterday on an ethernet connection with a download speed of 2 Mbps but, unfortunately the connection died(It happened from the ISP end, which is out of my control) in between after which there was no trace of the download that happened for so long(till the internet connection death).
One more serious query which I am unable to understand. If the internet connection, dies in the midst of the download is in progress why is it so that the state does not persist and one has to restart the entire process again. Is there no solution for this?
I tried so many times and its the same case after some amount of download it vanishes. So many unsuccessful attempts. I am ****** off now. Is it not possible to see Mavericks? Why does different machines of Apple behave differently? Somewhere it goes smoothly and somewhere like my mine. Why did not Apple release a non apple store version? Is this not a bad sign of letting the users struggle when something is being offered for free?
The reason I asked as whether we can download the .app of Mavericks is that, there are so many applications that I have downloaded web and have installed. All that works fine. Can't we do the same here? You download a copy of Mavericks installer application and upload it for me in Google drive or like online storage places which can be downloaded and used by me? Help me understand.
Thanks again. -
A year ago I brought a 1 TB hard drive (My Passport), I have not used it for over 4 months and now when I use the USB cord to connect it to my mac, it does not register the hard drive. Does anyone know why this is happening?
The beeps could be caused by something as simple as a loose internal wire or connection. If it is under warranty (not sure how long that is, as WD drives range from 1 to 5 years depending on the model's series - I think "my passport" drives are 3 years) you could contact WD and ask them about it.
If it is out of warranty, you could also try opening the case and check the connections - the drive may be fine, and there have been posts on TomsHardware forums of people getting the beeps, opening up the case and the drive is fine, just some wire worked loose. -
I tried to restore original settings on an ipod touch I just purchased used. It worked fine before and after I selected the restore, I now have the little itunes logo and the usb cord pointing to it and it will do nothing else. any suggestions?

WD My Passport 1TB USB external drive randomly ejects from my iMac and MacBook Pro.
The drive is approximately 4 years old. When the drive is plugged in, I can see the data. It appears to be working properly. The only problem is that everyone of my Apple Machines are ejecting it. Several years ago, this drive connected to Mac machines with no problems. I have tried two separate USB cords. I have updated the firmware. I have tried it on my MacBook, two different Macbook Pro's, and my iMac.
All give the same result of random ejection of the drive and the error message of:
Disk Not Ejected Properly
Eject "1TB Passport HD" before disconnecting or turning......
Searching through the web, it seems this is an common/known problem. Does anyone know the solution?
Thanks,Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

While trying to sync my iphone 4 my screen froze with a picture of blue circle with a music note in it, says iTunes under it and a picture of the end of the USB cord at the bottom...it will not let me reboot my phone and will do NOTHING else...anyone else have this happen?? How do I fix this??
