Upgrades USB hub to USB 2.0

i've recently purchased eyetv for my emac. everything seems fine apart from that it won't allow me to go any further after my computer tells me it does not support a USB 2.0. The only ways I can see around this (if possible) are to get an external USB 2.0 hub or to connect it through my fire wire. could you tell me if this is possible or if there is any other way around this?
cheers

Use a FireWire cable with the EyeTV if possible. If you purchase an USB 2.0 hub, its speed will be limited by the USB ports on the computer, and an eMac cannot accept an USB 2.0 card.

Macbook Pro,USB Hub, Maschine, USB Turntable, Audio Interface

So I have a MacBook pro 13 inch. I'm also using Maschine and a USB turntable to sample from. My problem is I want a USB audio interface so that the audio comes out clearer on these KRK Monitors I have. If I get a USB hub will I be able to use the midi options with the hub using Maschine or have audio going in and out of the same hub with an audio interface? Please help

I get the same type of problem with my usb hub when my usb3-enabled hard drives are connected, but not all the time.
Without the usb hub i never have a problem, which seems like the hub is the problem.
Things started to happen when I started using usb3-capable hard drives

Tip connection using a usb hub

Hi,
I am trying to set up a tip connection using a usb hub.
I have the following in my /etc/remote file:
hardwire:\
:dv=/dev/term/0:br#9600:el=^C^S^Q^U^D:ie=%$:oe=^D:
I am getting the message "link down" when I issue the tip command.
any help would be appreciated.

Hmm, "tip" works with serial lines, and an "usb hub" is a device on an usb bus. There's a device missing
in your setup, an "usb serial port" device.
Another question: Where is the usb hub and usb serial port device connected? To an USB port on a PC?
Or an USB port on the Sun?

USB Hub problem?

Hi,
I have a USB hub, 7ports / USB 2.0/1.1 powered by a mains adaptor.
I am connecting 1 x USB 3 external drive 750 GB (partitioned into two sections) and 1 x USB 2 500 GB external drive. I use these for mixture of storage and backup, and exchange data between them.
Both drives work perfectly well when I connect one at a time (the USB 3 is always connected at startup) but when I insert the USB 2 device into the hub, the first devive (USB 3 partitioned) disconnects and I get the standard warning " disc was not ejected properly" etc. etc.
(I know the MacBook has 2 x USB inserts, but one is connected permanently to an audio capture device - non negotiable)!
Would this be because the hub is not suitable for USB 3 devices, or some other reason. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Many Thanks............Brian

My suspicion is that the hub doesn't provide enough power for both drives. Check the specs (power or current consumption) for the drives and the hub. Keep in mind that, often enough, especially on cheaper hubs, the power supply ratings are wildly optimistic. Eg, the power supply may be rated for 1A, but effectively delivers only 0.8A; if each drive needs 0.5A, connecting both at the same time won't work.

Suncing through USB hub "upgraded" after 3.1.2????

Hi all!
Before upgrading to 3.1.2, my phone would charge on my non-powered usb hub but would NOT sync. After 3.1.2 it also syncs!!!
Is this a fluke, or did Apple fix something?
Has anyone else noticed similar behavior?
M.

This is a discussions forum for users, Apple do not read all the posts.
The choppy scrolling was happening prior to 3.1.3 and I have used Feedback to inform Apple about it. However, until others also use Feedback, Apple will think I'm the only one with the problem and perhaps think I'm just being fussy. So please, all three of you, use http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html to let them know.

USB-hub stopped working after upgrading

I have a macbook pro 13 inch, year 2011.
On my desk, I attach it to a thunderbolt display. To those USB-ports, I attached the belkin desktop USB hub (model F4U017) with 7 USB ports.
All worked fine and without a glitch untill I upgraded to OSX Moutain Lion.
Suddenly it won't connect annything I plug into it.
All the cables of the hubb still work fine, those have been tested.
When I tested the hub with a very old iMac (i think still with leopard it), it worked again.
To be sure, I also tested a 4-port hub without external power supply on moutain lion. That one still works fine.
How come my 7-port hub won't work any longer? How can I make it work?

Not sure. Might be an issue with the USB drivers in mountain lion.
I've had an issue with a couple hubs not working after plugging back into my macbook pro while it's on.
Fixed by restarting my computer, but that's super annoying and takes me back to my Win 95 days. Never saw this issue before I upgraded to mountain lion.

MacBook Pro (mid-2010) Internal USB HUB freezes/locks up

MacBook Pro (mid-2010) wilth the latest firmware, etc.
OS X 10.9.1
USB KVM to share keyboard and mouse with another computer
This has been working flawlessly until I upgraded to 10.9.1
The KVM uses the Scroll Lock key to toggle the input between the two computers
I switch back and forth many times a day.
Almost once a day now, all my input to my MBP will lock up when switching the KVM over.
The MBP track pad, keyboard, blue tooth Magic Mouse, KVM mouse and keyboard all become unresponsive.
I am assuming that the interal keyboard/track pad/blue tooth transceiver are all tied to an internal USB HUB.
The MBP is up and running and I can ssh into it. The only error message in the log is that the mouse device coming from the KVM is busy and it will be disabled. I have tried to close the lid for several minutes and then re-open, but it does not resolve the issue. I have tried connecting another USB mouse/keyboard during this time and it will not work. I have tried kill -HUP on the usbd and USBAgent processes. Everything stays unresponsive. The only way to resolve this condition is to reboot the MBP. Note: the KVM works find on the other computer when I switch it back and forth regardless of the state of the MBP.
I am suspecting that when this happens it is some how disabling the internal USB HUB, which if all the other devices are connected through it, nothing no longer works (but maybe I am crazy with that thought). Anyone have any insight? Is there a way to reset the internal HUB short of a reboot?
Thanks in advance!

I'm seeing the same problem with a 2010 Mac Mini with IOGear KVM and MS wireless mouse. This setup worked flawlessly for years on Snow Leopard but started hanging soon after the Mavericks upgrade. I'm running 10.9.4, currently the latest release. The system usually hangs after a KVM keyboard switch from Windows on the other set of KVM cables back to the Mac Mini. ssh into OSX works fine but a shutdown hangs indefinitely. top showed no processes spinning. The 1st console message after the hang was:
8/6/14 8:49:21.000 PM kernel[0] USBF: 1317978.201 AppleUSBHubPort: Port 2 of Hub at 0x6200000 about to terminate a busy device (Microsoft® 2.4GHz Transceiver v7.0) after waiting 10 seconds
There were no other messages for hours before this. I'm using VM Fusion but I think it hung once without it running. The Windows 7 side of the KVM works fine.

Setting up a USB external Drive with USB Hub on Airport Extreme

I have successfully hooked up the Airport Extreme Base Station (n) with two printers using a USB Hub. I am now trying to hook up an external hard drive(acomdata 250 gb). When I plug the hard drive into the Hub and turn the drive on the Airport Extreme Base station resets to amber and flashes green for a second then resets to amber again and it keeps doing that until I shut the drive down. I have a Mac Book Pro and an iMac on the network as well as a HP pavilion a730n on the network. I am able to share files between the PC and the Macs; however I can't seem to share the external hard drive. I tested the external hard drive by hooking it up directly to the Mac book and after a few seconds it mounted correctly and I was able to read and write.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Nick

What version of the AE firmware are you running? If you upgraded to 7.1, LOTS of people have discovered that Apple broke the USB connectivity for both disks and printers big time. With the 7.1 firmware version a few people can see the disks, but most people CANNOT see the printers.

USB Hub(s) no longer working after 10.8.5 update

Installed the 10.8.5 update via software update on my iMac 3.4Ghz i7 (no DVD drive) and had the Bluetooth unavailable issue I have seen mentioned elsewhere. Managed to restore Bluetooth via a restartwith all USB devices disconnected. However I have two USB hubs that no longer work. One is a colourful freebie so maybe not a surprise but the other is a powered D link USB 2.0 DUB-H7 which worked fine before the update. Now no device that is connected to it is recognized no matter which USB port the hub is plugged in to. Leaves me somewhat short of USB ports.

I've been struggling with this for 2 days, since I upgraded to 10.8.5 which I needed to go to get the latest iTunes, which I needed to upgrade my iPhone and iPad to IOS7 . . . yes, right down the garden path I walked
MacBook Pro 17", early 2009.
After the 10.8.5 upgrade Bluetooth is Not Available, same as seanluck13.
-System Preferences: no sign of Bluetooth
-System Search: no sign of Bluetooth
-System Profile Information: Bluetooth: No Information Found
-So Bluetooth is absent, removed, not present -- AGHHHHH!!!!!
Apple BT keyboard and trackpad can't be used. MacBook trackpad is worn out and I get wrist strain trying to activate it!
I read on a forum that a fix was to reinstall the system over the internet after a CMD-OPT-R restart. Did that -- 5 HOURS LATER -- NO CHANGE, BLUETOOTH STILL ABSENT !@(%&( )TY(@Q#*!!
Please someone help me before I throw this Mac down the garbage shoot. At the moment that's only a fantasy.

Keyboard not recognized in USB hub after 10.6.3 update

After updating to 10.6.3 (using combo updater) the keys on my Apple extended keyboard that shipped with my 24" iMac (2008) no longer work when the keyboard is connected through my Belkin powered USB hub. But oddly enough, the wireless mouse that is connected to the keyboard does work. So the keyboard is recognized and connected properly, but the keys don't work! It's definitely a software thing.
I don't have enough free USB ports on the back of my iMac to dedicate to my keyboard. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

I have the same problem. I found I can unplug the keyboard and when replugged, everything works OK.
I just upgraded to OS V10.6.4 and still must unplug and replug the keyboard in order to type.
WHY?

Seeking Recommendations For A Snow Leopard-Compatible USB Hub

It has been suggested that my CablesToGo 7-port powered USB hub might be the cause of some of the kernel panics I have experienced since upgrading to 10.6.4. I understand that there are no guarantees when it comes to USB, but is there a brand that seems to have fewer problems than others? I don't need 7 ports, just reliability.

Is this one bus powered? Hard to tell from the picture and I couldn't find anything that looked similar on the Belkin site; in any case, personally I would only recommend hubs that are self-powered - see this excerpt of a Wiki article:
+A bus-powered hub is a hub that draws all its power from the host computer's USB interface. It does not need a separate power connection. However, many devices require more power than this method can provide, and will not work in this type of hub.+
+USB current (related to power) is allocated in units of 100 mA up to a maximum total of 500 mA per port. Therefore a compliant bus powered hub can have no more than four downstream ports and cannot offer more than four 100 mA units of current in total to downstream devices (since one unit is needed for the hub itself). If more units of current are required by a device than can be supplied by the port it is plugged into, the operating system usually reports this to the user.+
+In contrast a self-powered hub is one that takes its power from an external power supply unit and can therefore provide full power (up to 500 mA) to every port. Many hubs can operate as either bus powered or self powered hubs.+

Print server belkin network USB Hub (F5L009)

I just bough a Belkin network USB Hub print server and downloaded from their website the mac 10.4 compatible software (their is no 10.5 yet), when I want to open the application I get this error message: _SXUPTP Driver has not been installed, please reinstall the application._
I called Belkin and they said that they were not using this driver and that it was a Mac issue so I call Mac and they said it's a Belkin issue. How do I fix that error? Please Help!
Thanks

I agree! Like I said, I've been using it for a couple of weeks with NO problems - but I was on 10.4 (Belkin posted the beta Mac driver just a couple of weeks ago). This is the ONLY item that didn't work flawlessly after upgrading. Unfortunately, the Belkin customer support is almost non-existent...in fact, their reply to me was via a posting on a web page (thereby eliminating the possibility of me seeing a Belkin email address to which I could then reply to).
However - I will also say that for the two weeks that it worked with my Mac - it worked perfectly! For now, though, it's back to being a gateway for my wife and kids assorted XP machines.

IPad 2 iOS 5 Windows 7 USB hub issue solution

I thought I would post this message to help those running Windows 7 (or other versions of Windows) that might be having "USB Device Unrecognized" issues with their iPad when going to iOS 5. In my case it is an iPad 2.
Long story short... When upgrading to iOS 5 using iTunes 10.5, if you are getting "USB Device Unrecognized" error messages or Windows has trouble installing the USB driver with your iPad (or maybe another iDevice) and that device is connected to a USB hub of some sort that may have worked previously under iOS 4.x or earlier, the solution for me was to connect the iPad to one of my PC's main USB ports (as in the ones directly connected to the motherboard). For whatever reason, Windows is not able to recognize my iPad 2 running the first release version of iOS 5 when it is connected to the USB ports on my Dell 2408 LCD panel's hub. Even though this was never an issue with iOS 4.x
More detail...
I am running Windows 7 (64 bit) with all the latest updates and I had an iPad 2 running iOS 4.3.5 and I always docked it and my iPhone 4 to my PC using the USB hub on my Dell 2408 LCD panel. I NEVER had any USB issues with either device until going to iTunes 10.5 & iOS 5.
The issue came up when I was doing a restore of the iOS 5 GM (which is the same as the final release of iOS 5) to my iPad 2. When I started the restore, the iPad 2 gets reset to DFU mode (or whatever mode it gets in to start the restore) and at that point Windows complained about the USB Device being unrecognized. After I gave up I told iTunes to do a regular restore back to the previous version (4.3.5) and Windows had no issues seeing my iPad and doing the restore connected to the same USB port.
So there appeared to be something about iTunes 10.5 or iOS 5 causes Windows to not be able to install the correct driver and have "USB Device Unrecognized" errors when my iPad 2 was connected to my Dell monitors USB hub. I should mention that my iPhone 4 running iOS 5 has no problems being connected to my Dell monitors USB hub. I tried all the suggestions that Apple has on their support section. Restarting the Apple Mobile Device service, Uninstalling the bad USB device under the Device Manager in Windows and rescanning for devices, un-installing and then reinstalling iTunes 10.5 and the other Apple software etc... etc... Windows still could not find the correct USB driver and couldn't recognize the device. Nothing worked or when it did it only lasted for a very short time. One of the 4 ports on my Dell finally installed the correct drivers but then it stopped working.
The solution was for me to use the built in USB ports that are on my PC itself. After I did that, Windows has no issues installing the proper driver for my iPad 2 and seeing it once I used the PC's USB ports.
For more detail see this post on the macrumors.com forums here...

Yes, Apple has caused people to go through massive panic, anxiety and wasted time by not coming out and telling us about this problem. They must know about it. How can we tell them? Now I understand why it took me 50 tries to upgrade to OS5. We all got the same crazy errors that caused us to reinstall iTunes, turn off our firewalls, buy new USB cables and basically waste tons of time and energy, when the solution was very simple. Plug your device into a USB port on your computer.
After years of using a peripheral USB hub successfully it's no wonder we all started freaking out and thinking it was a major problem. Yes, I'm blowing off some steam, but I've been an Apple fanatic for a long time and I'm not happy about their lack of response to this issue.
