Not enough USB Ports for non-hub-friendly Peripherals

Several of my USB 2.0 devices require being plugged directly into the computer and aren't hub friendly. Unfortunately there are more of these type devices than there are USB ports.
Solution?
I have an iMac8,1 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz 4 GB

Are you using a powered hub?
I have never heard of that problem before.

If all your ports are in use, try buying a USB hub, they are inexpensive and will give you several more ports. Google for them.

Not enough USB ports!

I have 3 USB ports on my G5 and 4 things that need to be powered directly off them (the keyboard; a DigiDesign M-Box; a Mackie Baby HUI; and a 4-port hub). How can I get this to work all at once? I’d rather not have to un-plug the 4-port hub every time I want to use the Mackie mixing board.
Suggestions?
Thanks!

I have been a strong advocate for more rear panel ports (fat lot of good it's done!) for years. USB expansion on Macs is terrible. I have a box full of PCI USB cards from Sonnet, Adaptec, Belkin, IO Gear, NEC, you name it. Red ones, yellow ones purple ones, big ones, small ones, 2 port cards, four port cards, five port cards....not one "works without issues". Some will allow the computer to sleep as long as nothing is connected to them. With others, the computer will not even boot. I could buy another Mac with what I've spent on these 'effing things. And don't give me that bull about the display and keyboard ports either. The display ports can be just as problematic as the expansion cards and the keyboard ports while convenient for things like a mouse or PowerMate, are low power and cannot support things like media card readers. The front port is very handy for temporary connections but who wants a cable sticking out of the front of their computer all the time?
All of this could be avoided by simply providing 4-6 rear panel ports like the other computers have. For what Apple charges for their machines, it would not, I am sure" break the bank".

Splitting the Time Capsule USB port for 2 devices ??

So if i have and external HD plugged into tc usb port and I also need to plug in a netflix ready blue ray player to the same port- is there a splitter I can buy to do this or what other options do i have?
I have an extra airport extreme I am not using-could I run an ethernet cord to it and use that usb port for my second device without and problems?
Thx

First, yes it is possible to attach multiple devices to the TC's USB port. You will need a USB hub though. Some users have discovered that not all hubs are compatible with the TCs USB port. So you may need to shop around if the first one doesn't work.
However, the USB port on the TC is designed primarily to handle external HDs or printers. That is, it is designed to make them available to your local network, not to the internet. So I have doubts that the BR player will be able to have full interest access via the TCs USB port.

Hope this clarifies things a bit. Cheers!

I got an Ipod shuffle because I have two cars with USB port for mp3. It doesn't work. Can it ever?

I got an Ipod shuffle because I have two cars with USB port for mp3. It doesn't work. Can it ever?

im not shure but if you get an 3.5 mm sterio headphone jack and plug that in your car and shuffle it should work just as good

Not enough physical ports - error message??

Hi
I just started to get an error message dialog box when I open Soundtrack Pro on my quad core G5. The message says "the current output device does not have enough physical ports for this document. Some outputs may not play back as a result".
I don't understand this - can anyone help. If I click OK then for sure, not audio comes out of STP.
Running version 1.1 on OSX 10.4.10
This hasn't happened before. It happens either when I open a new STP file with nothing in it, or when sending from FCP.
Thanks
Neil

First of all, thanks for the replies.
I gave it another try today; I deleted the old files and ripped them to my computer again, this time using Windows Media Player instead of iTunes. I tried transferring them to my iPod again and this time it worked. As always iTunes had to convert them to files that it could read, but then it took just a few seconds and all of them made it to my iPod.
I don't know what the problem was the first time around. I checked the file sizes, and the largest was 4.2 MB. There were about 11 songs. It was just a typical audio CD and its total length was 44 minutes.
I guess from now on I'll just import CDs with Windows Media Player and then let iTunes convert them so that I can have even more files on my computer. Oh well. If that's what it takes... Sometime when I have a lot of time to fool around I'll try to see if something is going wrong when I'm importing them with iTunes.
Thanks again for the responses!

Which USB port for extra power for external Superdrive?

I just bought an external USB slimline optical drive that doesn't use AC power, instead it comes with a USB Y-connector so that it can use two USB ports for power. I can't really spare the extra port. I read that the Mac mini 2011 is compatible with the Apple USB Superdrive. It does this by supplying additional power over USB, like the MacBook Air. I've tried my drive with just a single port and it powers on and can do some stuff, but suddenly it'll crap out and the OS will tell me the disk was removed without being ejected. I've determined it's a power issue. Does anyone know which port in particular the extra power is delivered through? I'd test myself, but I'm afraid I may be damaging the optical drive when it craps out.
Thanks

I'd get a good AC high powered USB Hub...

SSRS 2008 Column Chart with Calculated Series (moving average) "formula error - there are not enough data points for the period" error

I have a simple column chart grouping on 1 value on the category axis. For simplicity's sake, we are plotting $ amounts grouping by Month on the category axis. I right click on the data series and choose "Add calculated series...". I choose moving average. I want to move the average over at least 2 periods.
When I run the report, I get the error "Formula error - there are not enough data points for the period". The way the report is, I never have a guaranteed number of categories (there could be one or there could be 5). When there is 2 or more, the chart renders fine, however, when there is only 1 value, instead of suppressing the moving average line, I get that error and the chart shows nothing.
I don't think this is entirely acceptable for our end users. At a minimum, I would think the moving average line would be suppressed instead of hiding the entire chart. Does anyone know of any workarounds or do I have to enter another ms. connect bug/design consideration.
Thank you,
Dan

I was having the same error while trying to plot a moving average across 7 days. The work around I found was rather simple.
If you right click your report in the solution explorer and select "View Code" it will give you the underlying XML of the report. Find the entry for the value of your calculated series and enter a formula to dynamically create your periods.
<ChartFormulaParameter Name="Period">
<Value>=IIf(Count(Fields!Calls.Value) >= 7 ,7, (Count(Fields!Calls.Value)))</Value>
</ChartFormulaParameter>
What I'm doing here is getting the row count of records returned in the chart. If the returned rows are greater than or equal to 7 (The amount of days I want the average) it will set the points to 7. If not, it will set the number to the amount of returned rows. So far this has worked great. I'm probably going to add more code to handle no records returned although in my case that shouldn't happen but, you never know.
A side note:
If you open the calculated series properties in the designer, you will notice the number of periods is set to "0". If you change this it will overwrite your custom formula in the XML.

Error msg - not enough memory available for this task - chm file

Hi All
I am using RoboHelp for HTML 8.0 and creating chm file. I am using context sensitive help and the F1 key functionality. I have in the past created some map ID's with F1 and they have worked properly with our company software application. Now, I have a different database with our company and a larger help file and it is not working. I am told that the database should work. I also have lots of memory. I am working off of my hard drive which is where the .exe is for the company application and my chm file. I can open my .chm file. When I go into the application and press F1 where I created the map ID;s I get the message, not enough memory available for this task and also topic not available. Quit one or more programs to increase memory.
I have lots of memory and my file is only 598kb. I also only have RoboHelp and the application running. When I did a search, I found an article for a fix from 2004 from Adobe - Rb_46124 - not sure if this is the fix but the steps dont match since it is old.
Please help me.
Thanks
Caryn

Hi there
Actually, if you were to use FlashHelp output, you might find that the problems are compounded, as now you have the Flash Player and all its idiosyncrasies in the mix.
Cheers... Rick

Not enough disk space for asset ecoding

Hi all,
I have a dvdsp project with:
a feature: 3.3 gb
dvd extra: 289
menu assets: 65mb
and shows that it is 3.8 mb all together, but when i try to build/format it stops the build at the menu and gives the error message: Not enough disk space for asset encoding. I was running a test build when this happened. i have yet to add the audio for the extra thinking i still had some room on here to work with.
I have burned dvd's up 4.5 without any issues. any ideas why this is happening?
thanks,
Mark

I'm having the same problem. Except I have tried to switch locations for the Current Build and each time it says Not enough disk space for asset encoding. I have a 500GB raid with almost 400GB free and then another 500GB raid with about 130GB free. I really need help on this pronto!
Another message it now brings up after it starts Encoding Assets: Insufficient disk space for encoding. Please free up disk space on your encoding target drive. Please Help!!

"not enough disk space for asset encoding" error message

I'm using DVD SP 4.2.1 and trying to burn a DL DVD. Every time I try to build the TS folders somewhere, I get the "not enough disk space for asset encoding" message. I have PLENTY of space (over 100GB) where I'm assigning it to create the TS folders. I don't understand why I'm getting the message. Your help is appreciated.

Max,
I think you're onto something here. I noticed that the original disk (an old Iomega Peerless 20GB removable hard drive) was nearly full. I also saved the DVD Studio Pro file for the project to the same drive. I think that, somehow, the application looked to that drive to do something and got a "disk full" message from that disk and gave me the error.
The workaround was to transfer all the assets AND the project file to another hard disk with plenty of space (over 100 GB). The settings for the DVD Studio Pro encoding process remained the same…my computer's internal hard disk with its 30 GB of free space. I re-linked the assets and the disk building and encoding process went smoothly and I'm now the proud owner of a finished DVD.
There's probably something lurking in the background here, but this worked for me.
Thanks for making the suggestion to look deeper! My problem is solved!

Error Not enough quota 30 for attendance/absence in ESS Leave Request

Good Morning
I am trying to create a "Leave Request" using ESS with "Floating Days". It has a cuota manual. When trying to create the leave request in ECC all works fine, but when trying to create the same leave request in ESS the following error occurs:
Not enough quota 30 for attendance/absence 0261 on 05.03.2008 for personnel no. 20001140
Some can help me?
Best Regards,
Wilman

Hi,
I would suggest the following :
Step1: Check your IT 2006/IT 2007 for your Absence and Attendance Quotas.
Step 2: You can also verify the same information using the PT50 transaction ( quota Overview)
Step 3: By doing the above you ensure that the person has the required quotas.
Step4: logon to ESS and do the request for leave.if it does not let you, then there is some problem in the config in the ESS. I cannot tell you this from top of my head. We need to look into the portal to see what exactly the problem.
regards
Vijay

": Not enough physical memory for SHM_SHARE_MMU "

Dear ALL,
": Not enough physical memory for SHM_SHARE_MMU "
This is an error message which occurs while trying to mount the database on startup. I've two database running of solaris. DB1 is running with 700M shared pool size. I want to run the DB2 database with 400M. But if i specify 400M shared_pool size on DB2 it is not mounting. It is only mounting when I specify 200M size of shared_pool. Machine has 4cpu and 4gb of RAM.
I've configured the kernel and shemaphore parameter according to the oracle process.
Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated.

The whole SGA must fit into physical memory (SGA=shared_pool_size + (db_block_buffer*db_block_size) + log_buffer + java_pool_size).
