Titanium and USB ports - need more

My wife has one of these great compouters! There are only 2 USB ports in which she currently has the mouse and a musical keyboard named Eiderol plugged. Both device get power from the USB port. I just got her a HP LasrJet 1022 printer, which is also a USB device. However, it does not draw its power from the port.
What I want to do is install a hub or some other device that will allow me to use the 3 devices on the 2 ports. Can someone please recommend a solution?
Many thanks in advance

Your best bet is to go with a PC Card (PCMCIA Card) with USB ports. For not a lot of cash you'll be able to not only add more USB ports to your TiBook, but you'll also be able to add USB 2.0, which is significantly faster than the TiBook's typical USB ports. And USB 2.0 is backwards compatible with USB 1.0 devices. Finally, many of today's perhipherals use USB 2.0 to connect, since it's also faster than even Firewire 800.
I think that you can get PC Cards that include USB 2.0 AND Firewire 800,if I'm not mistaken. Here's a link to a very good, informative post in these forums on this topic:

That screen is asking you to connect the device to iTunes to restore it.

TS3048 Bluetooth and USB ports aren't working can't connect mouse or keyboard.

Bluetooth and USB ports aren't working, so am unable to use Imac past turning it on. There's no way to connect mouse or keyboard, it started right after a software update for Maverick (OS X bash Update 1.0 – OS X Mavericks), bluetooth symbol not showing in the task bar at all.

Hi SBrwn,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The symptom you're describing can be frustrating to troubleshoot as our options are limited. I do suggest resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) if you have not already. This step can help you regain use of USB and Bluetooth.
Follow these steps to reset the SMC on your iMac:
Resetting the SMC for Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve
Shut down the computer. [by holding down the power button]
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
You can find these steps and more information at this link:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
All the best,
Jeremy

This means you need to connect your iPhone to iTunes on your computer via USB and restore.

Ipad lacks camera and usb ports

hi i like the ipad but it lacks camera and usb ports. im hoping steve jobs will recognize this. im hoping to have my ipad in the future with built in camera and usb ports. Hope it will replace the laptops in the future. thanks. i love apple products.

1) your wanting a USB port doesn't mean it needs one. I've had no trouble transferring documents, songs, pictures, or movies.
2) a forward looking camera might be nice for video conferencing but at what cost? I'm sure we'll see it in the future when price for a high quality camera won't add a large amount to the price.
3) the iPad isn't going to replace a computer anytime soon.
If you've been paying attention to Apple since Jobs returned (and if you are familiar with the first Mac) you'll realize that the iPad is the first step of a journey. Now that the basic idea has been developed we'll see stepwise refinement.

Hello!

It needs to be restored by someone. You can do it, and set it up as a new phone, or the buyer can do it.

MacPro Front Firewire and USB Ports Acting Up

Devices connected to the front firewire 800 and USB ports on my MacPro are acting up. (2x2.66GHz dual-core, early 2007) I put a firewire rugged LaCie onto the firewire port and the MacPro hung. The drive works fine on my MacBook. On the MacPro, the CPU on all cores ran up to 100% and the machine became inaccessible. I put a 80 GB video iPod on the USB port and it could not sync without errors. Could not eject the iPod - OS X reported that an application was accessing the device, even though nothing was running.
It seems as though connecting devices to the front ports initiates a process that does not behave and/or teminate correctly. All other ports work OK, including those on the back of the machine and the USB and firewire ports on my Cinema display.

OK, a couple of things. First, have you tried another USB cable? You may have one that is flaky at USB2 speeds which can cause all sorts of mischief.
Have you tried both "free" USB ports on the machine, or the USB port on the machine that you have the keyboard hooked to?
Finally, you may find some information in your system log that would point to the answer.
In my own experience, USB2 on the G5 has not been capable of reaching serious transfer rates. While I get transfer rates close to 60 MB/sec through FW800, I have never gotten more than about 13 MB/sec through USB2, using several flavors of external drive/SATA toaster/enclosure interfaces. However, I have also had bad USB cables lock the machine up like the Tin Man.

Have you updated iTunes with the absolute latest software? If you have not in a long time, your iPad won't be recognized.

It sounds like you have been thorough at the things that users can do themselves.

No Mac Pro only has Firewire and USB. Perhaps you've misidentified the computer:

My firewire 800 and USB ports on not functioning!

My firewire 800 and USB ports on not functioning, I believe it is an issue the next driver loaders anyone, know how I can reset these?

You don't "reset" a driver (kext). And I don't believe it s a driver problem. However you might try doing a smc and pram reset to see if that "shakes the ports loose". Might work. Couldn't hurt to try.

sunHi,
You can try a package named: JTwain, which is available at http://asprise.com/product/jtwain.
JTwain supports all kinds of digital cameras and scanners. You can use Java to access, contorl digital cameras and scanners, and of course, to acquire images with flexible settings.
The developers' guide is available @ http://asprise.com/product/jtwain/devGuide.php
In the simplest case, one line of Java code can solve your problem.
Good luck!
