T60 USB Mice has random disconnect, needs to be plugged back in

We have a bunch of T60's here, and we use Lenovo USB mice with them. What happens is, at any given moment, the mouse will stop working. The user just unplugs and plugs the mouse back in (Port Rep or directly into machine). This usually works, but sometimes requires the mouse to be swapped out. Then that old mouse will work somewhere else.
It's a very weird problem, and was wondering if anyone has a solution? I did some reading up and found other people with this problem, didn't find much of a solution though.
Any help appreciated, thanks.

Try setting usb in bios - config - usb to always on or powered and in device manager remove the tick on usb hubs allowing windows to turn them off.

Z77A-GD65 and frontal USB 3.0 randomly disconnect

Hi i use on my case Enermax Hoplite ST the front USB 3.0 port that have a 20 pin usb 3.0 header cable to connect on my Z77A-GD65 MB, i use this port with external usb 3.0 feed powered enclosure hard-disk Samsung F3 - 3,5 " 1TB SATA for back up .... randomly, without any reason, enclosure disconnect , why? i haven't this problem if i connect the enclosure on frontal usb 2.0 and even if i connect to REAR USB 3.0 port .... only frontal USB 3.0 have this problem ... why? any idea? maybe frontal USB 3.0 have less ampacity of rear USB 3.0, than disconnect my enclosure?
bye

Could be a problem with your Enermax case's front cabling. If you have another USB 3 front or rear connection bracket, then you could plug that into the USB 3 header to test.
Else you will have to check with MSI technical what the max amps are on the USB 3 header. Mine works just fine with a portable 500GB external portable drive.

Portabe USB hard drive random disconnects

I recently purchased a Canvio 1TB portable hard drive. It occasionally disconnects itself from the computer, seemingly at random, without me touching the drive or cable. My old 320GB USB 2 hard drive, with a double cable, never does this. Do I just need a double USB 3 cable, or is there something else going on?

Disconnect Ethernet Cable and Plug back in causes IP to mess up

Yo,
when i unplug my ethernet cable (say to move the computer) and plug it back in, my ip totally messes up, goes from 192.168.x.x ip with a 255.255.192.0 subnet mask to a 169.254.188.192 with a 255.255.0.0 subnet mask. I know in windows i could release my ip using ipconfig and renew it, but cant figure out how to do that on mac, any suggestions?

Yes, restarting always works. But im trying to avoid this. If i were on a windows computer i could type "ipconfig /release", "ipconfig /renew", and that would usually work, here i dont know what to do other than restart, and that just shouldnt be the only answer. Im directly connected to my motorola cable modem.

Trouble with snoowball usb mic in GB3....low volume levels or bad clipping

I have rebooted the computer several times. This usb mic has no driver software and was working fine until I got a audio core driver message of some sort.
Any pointers?

dollarblower,
If it's not the Snowball, then I'm not sure.
You can give the following a try; I don't know if it will help you, but it won't hurt you, and it often solves weird issues in GB:
Use Disk Utility to repair your system permissions (/Applications/Utilities);
Then, trash your GarageBand Preference files (don't worry, it will replace them; you can reset any prefs to what they were in the app)
Search for the two files:
com.apple.garageband.cs -and-
com.apple.garageband.plist
and discard them.
(Normally, they are in /Library/Preferences/ or in user/Library/Preferences/
but do a search to make sure you get all the copies.)

Mac Pro randomly disconnecting USB devices

Hello All,
Am hoping someone out there will be able to advise me. I have a 1TB external SATA drive connected directly to one of my Mac Pro USB ports, (that is, not via a USB hub). The Mac Pro has a habit of randomly disconnecting the drive during file transfers. It seems to particularly do it when the screen saver initiates itself. I've disabled the screen saver but unfortunately that hasn't resolved the problem. The problem itself doesn't seem to be isolated to the external USB hard drive either. The Mac has on occasions disconnected other USB devices too.
Any suggestions or ideas on what the cause of it is and how I resolve it?
Many thanks
GPJ007

Yes Grant, I've exchanged the power suppply, cables, the HUB and also the HDD and checked them on my MBP - they work fine. The only USB slot that's working fine is the one on the PCI-E Card. All internal Ports do eject the USB HDD's and also have problem with Printercommunication. I can mount the USB HDD without Problem, until I want to access a larger File or transfer data from or to it, then it ejects itself - well after freezing the Computer for 5min first, until the unmount message appear.
By the way: Sorry, was a bit frustrated. I'm working as an Freelance Editor and really need to have a working USB. But the only thing I found were a huge amount of questions to the same problem, but no solution. And from apple side the only advice was to not use third party device or use only powered HDD's and HUB's. That's not really helpful...
GPJ007: Ok, I hoped to not have to make a new Setup of the OS and all the program. Well in a few weeks there is a gap in the order chain, I'm going to reinstall the OS then and let you know about sucess or not.
Thanks in advance

USB drive randomly disconnects (and causes deep traversal in Time Machine)

I have two external drives connected through a USB hub and they get sometimes randomly disconnected. Sometimes when I plug the drives in, only one appears on the desktop. Then I unplug them, plug them back in and just the other drive appears.
The other problem is that I back up one of the drives to the other using Time Machine and when the drive disappears by itself, Time Machine needs to perform deep traversal of the whole drive AND backs up the whole drive from scratch (see the console log below).
Any suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks,
Peter

The USB hub could have a problem (or not enough power); try connecting the drives directly to the Mac and see what happens. Is it a powered USB hub, and are the drives self-powered (i.e. each drive gets its own power from a wall socket/surge protector)?

Carloyn,
Thanks for the tip. But when I hooked the iPad to the wall charger (which is a power supply too) using the same USB cable, I was able to turn it off. How come?

Hi,
As long as the iPad is connected to your computer it has a power supply which prevents you from turning the iPad off. Better to allow the battery to charge to 100% while it's connected regardless.

When my iPhone is connected (via the Lightning cable) to the usb port in my car, the alert tones are no longer played through the car speaker or the phone. This previously worked, but has randomly stopped working, help!

I took my iPhone to the Service center of M/s RSG INFOTECH PRIVATE LIMITED on April 17, 2014.
Why are you posting in this forum about what occured with an independent service provider? How is is at all relevant to Apple?? In fact, service by any person or business not authorized by Apple voids any waranty.

Macmini 2012, Mountain Lion, Logitech C600 webcam USB Mic...

OK.
So I got the new macmini 2012(base model). Got 10.8.2 on it and a webcam Logitech C600.
Everything works fine (no additional drivers needed). The problem comes when sometimes (randomly) the mic stops working. It is a USB mic integrated in the webcam. I am thinking it has something to do when the monitor goes to sleep, but still cannot find the reason. It sometimes happen after fresh restart. When I disconnect and reconnect the webcam it goes ok. Any ideas?

BDAqua is right Hristokirev. I solved this problem myself with this issue before. Coz I also have a C600. Also if your C600 video display resolution is crap, go to quicktime player then go to movie recording and click on high recording quality on it so you can manually adjust the resolution. So yeah when I first plug this camera it didn't had a 720p quality feature, but its just that you have to manually change the settings in it itself.

Cdaq9172 random disconnect

We have a Cdaq9172 unit connected via USB to the PC running Labview V8.5. Currently connected via a 5 m USB extension cable to PC.
Problem. The daq unit looses the connection to the PC at random intervals. To fix we need to remove USB cable and plug back into PC. The problem can be once a week, once a day or several times an hour.
The environment is a sawmill, but the PC and CDaq unit is in a computer room. We have had this problem both with Windows XP and a new Windows 7 64 bit PC
On the old PC we often had to reboot the PC to reestablish connection so I assumed the USB control on the PC was the problem while with the new PC we just needs to unplug/plug in the USB cable.
Any suggestions?

I got one. The USB cable that comes with the cDAQ chassis has magnets on the ends to help with noise. Once someone grabbed just a normal USB cable instead of the one that came with the chassis. It would work in a noisy environment most of the time, but it would also disconnect once in a while.
At the time we didn't have much time to debug, so we bought a cDAQ ethernet chassis instead and had no issues with it.

External USB hard drive suddenly disconnecting

Over the last two days, I've noticed that my external drive (a Freecom 500GB) has just randomly disconnected at various points. I haven't removed the cables, or even jolted them. An error message appears saying that the drive has been disconnected without being ejected, and that this may cause me to lose data. But I'm not disconnecting it manually!
Is this likely to be a fault with the drive or the Mac?

If the drive is bus powered and you have no AC adapter for it or it has no provision for connecting one, you will need to buy an AC-powered USB hub to connect to the Powerbook, and plug the drive into the hub. The drive isn't getting enough power from the USB bus at some times, and when the power is inadequate, the drive drops off the OS's radar even though it remains connected.

Undocumented 'random disconnection' from manually connected wireless

This is all the information from when I fist see an wireless interface.
All, I can tell is that my wlp5s0u1 doesn't go down, but a few seconds before I plug in my wireless bridge, or enp4s0, my 'Internet stops...' Or I can't search google, and my youtube stops streaming, conky says that about 30bytes get transfered from that point on, and there is no errors?!
I'm not on a laptop, and my device's power saver is set to off. And as I'm not getting the second error I don't know how to fix this.
$ iw dev wlp5s0u1 get power_save
Power save: off
(Sorry if this is blatantly obvious, I've only had arch for under a month, with no prior Linux experience, and my dad can't help me with it too!)
EDIT:
Please can someone please tell me something that I can try or look into to resolve this, I have a useless dongle now, and an Internet connection that drops at least 50% of the packets.

Cannot switch back to built-in output after connecting USB mic

I cannot get playback unless I plug back in my USB mic (Blue Yeti) on Mac OS X.
I get this notice:
"The selected audio device has no output channels."
I select Default Output to be "built in output" then go to Audio Channel Mapping tab and my output device is saying Yeti stereo microphone (not working).
It is obviously not working because it isn't plugged in. My question is why isnt it using my built in output when the mic is unplugged. Even through the Sound tab in system preferences my output is set to "built in"
I get playback through the mic when it's plugged in, but I need to be able to get playback through my built in output when the mic is not plugged in. Any ideas on this greatly appreciated.

USB Mic Distortion

I recently bought a Samson G-Track USB microphone, to go with my new Macbook (running Leopard), but seem to get intermittent audio distortion when I record. I have been checking the record levels on the mic and garageband and it's not clipping. If anything the signal strength on the Garageband monitor seems low. I can sometimes record a signal ok and then with exactly the same setup next time it distorts. I have tried turning off all effects in case they are causing it. Looking at online discussion forums there seems to be a problem with the Apple USB driver (Audio Codec?).
Anyone else had this problem?

I've had a Snowball USB mic for about a year and it sometimes has problems like you describe (basically signal breakup that sounds like clipping, even though the input level is not too high).
I first used it with a G4 Powerbook, and found that the perfomance depended on which port I used. The differences were dramatic.
I'm now using a MacBook, and there is variability when I record my band from session to session. I'm getting the feeling it might have to do with how well the power is sent from the USB port to the mic. But I don't have a good diagnostic.
I plan to sit down and run some trials, and would suggest you do the same. Plug in the mic, do a quick test and listen, then disconnect/reconnect the mic and repeat the test (changing ports or not).
I read recently that USB power is "dirty" and maybe these mics are very sensitive. If anyone has more info, I'd like to hear it.
