Usb 2 does not work on usb 3 port

Hi,
My left USB3 port does accept a USB3 usb stick however it will not load any of my old USB2 sticks nor a normal mouse. All of these non usb3 items do work on my right port.
Is this a known issue or a setting I need to change somewhere?

I have exactly the same problem regarding an external drive connected to the USB 3.0 port on the docking station. My configuration is almost identical to yours. See the following description of the current version of Lenovo's USB 3.0 driver. It contains a fix that seems to exactly match the problem you describe.
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS032084
My best guess would be that the latest fix corrected the problem when the drive is connected directly to the computer, but overlooked the case of the drive connected to the docking station. It would be nice if Lenovo could investigate this fix further to see if it is incomplete and needs some additional work.

Ipod shuffle does not work on USB 2.0 but works on USB 1.1

The ipod shuffle works fine but slow on the USB 1.1 port but is recognized as a corrupt Ipod (by the itunes 7.1.1.5) when I use the USB 2.0
The ipod was first used by the the USB1.1 port because the machine did not have a 2.0 port. I installed a USB 2.0 card and my other USB mass storage works fine on the 2.0 but not the ipod. I have tried to reset the software but the ipod don't respond on the 2.0 ports. I have reset on the 1.1 port with no problems. I have windows XP pro SR2. Do I need to uninstall the itunes and reinstall.
I don't understabd why even when recognised by the usb1.1 ports why can't I access the ipod through windows explorer like any other usb storage device, it would save the hazzle with the itunes software (click and drag in widows explorer works fine on other usb devices).

Hi raymarcus,
Have you tried reinstalling your USB drivers? See this for instructions:
iPod is not recognized properly by computer when USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date
Also, are you on a laptop? If so, then make sure that your computer is not set to conserve power by automatically turning off the power to its USB ports. See this for details:
iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB

WRT54G2 does not work and internet, port 2 and port 3 LEDs are in a flashing pattern

I've tried the reset button and plenty of power cycling. The LEDs are stuck in a cycle:
internet LED is a continous flash
port 2 LED is a continous flash
port 3 LED flashes occasionally, but I can't see a pattern.
It does not respond to pings.

Try to Press and hold the reset button for 60 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 60 seconds and re-connect the power cable.... Now try to ping the Routers Default Gateway IP 192.168.1.1 and check if you are getting any replies or not.
Note : Disable the Firewall and Antivirus from your Computer. Then try to ping the Router.

Usb does not work

nothing plugged into USB ports is recognized - only things appearing under USB are Bluetooth USB Host Controller and IR Receiver
external drive, camera, and phone are not recognized when plugged in (although phone receives power)
any suggestions?
Thanks!
OS X 10.5.8, 2 GHz, 2 GB RAM

Everything is checked except connected servers.
Turns out I had the mistaken impression that anything plugged into USB would show up immediately in the system profiler list, and I see now that it doesn't. Now that I look into it more it seems that the problem may just be in the Lacie USB hard drive I'm trying to connect.
Having said all that, an ipod which is plugged in does connect to itunes, but doesn't show up on the desktop, even though that option is checked.
Thanks again.

MSI E350IA-E45 Wake On USB does not work

I spent hours trying to get the computer to be able to wake from my usb devices. I enabled it in the bios and in the Windows 7 device manager. However, it doesn't work. The motherboard cuts off power to the USB when in S3 sleep mode. Has anybody been able to get Wake From USB working on this board or is it false advertisement?

Mine works with a USB mouse but not Bluetooth mouse.... My BT also has issues on cold start, until I jumped the 5volt pin to the 5v stand by on the power supply

[solved] usb does not work...

Whenever I plug in a usb-device, it always say:
Cannot mount volume.
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied.
A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to
this recipient, see message bus configuration file(rejected message had
interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member "Mount" error name "(unset)"
destination "org.freedesktop.Hal")
No idea of what it is saying....
by the way, hotplugging is already enabled and the usb device works well in Windows.

Gmail does not work through Air Port / Time Capsule

I have narrowed down my problem with sending and receiving email to the Time Capsule base station. If I select the crappy Linksys router/wifi access point that is closest to my cable modem I am able to send and receive mail to both Gmail and my own hosted service. If I select the base station in my Time Capsule, which connects to the Linksys then I receive "imap.gmail.com is not responding".
Time Capsule is in Bridge mode. I have also tried putting the Time Capsule in "Distributes a Range of IP Addresses" too.
What's weird is that my mac is always connected to the Time Capsule and it is able to get mail without any problem.
Also, I have no problem accessing mail when I turn on 3G cellular data.
Problem is definitely with the Time Capsule. Thoughts?

This is most likely because you are using a cable modem.. please give the details of the modem.
If that is the case you need to power off the cable modem for a time.. 5min .. 30min.. 60min.. overnight.. indeterminiate. Each ISP is different. But the MAC address of the computer has been captured and the lease is only offered to that computer.
The TC must be in router mode.. this is assuming a pure modem and setup WAN port to the modem ethernet.
If you keep having trouble give exact network details.. modem.. make and model? Type of broadband service. and how the TC is setup.

Dvd player external does not work

Two weeks ago I bought a HP Stream 11" with no CD/DVD drive; when connecting an external CD/DVD drive via USB does not work and appear a window that says a file is missing; I am kindly asking for your help regarding what has to be done in order to make it work. Please note that the External DVD/CD drive worrks perfect on others Laptops I own
THank you

HI @agalford03 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a great place to find answers and tips!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I grasp that you have purchased the HP Stream 11 which does not come with an internal CD/DVD and when you connected an external one, you received a message that it was missing a file.
Have you done all your Windows updates?
Have you done a manual check for Windows updates?
Have you ran the HP Support Assistant to check for HP updates?
What file does it say you are missing?
When it is connected, if you check Device Manager does it supply any additional information?
Have you ran the Windows troubleshooter?
Good Luck!

One USB port does not work with external Disk or USB key

Hello,
Back to my iMAC there is 3 USB port. The second one - in the middle - does not work pluging an external Disk, an USB key or an iPOD nano. However it works well connecting a Wacom tablet.
Is there an explanation to this behaviour ?
More the keyboard is plugded on USB port 1 and the mouse on the keyboard. Time to time - especially at reboot - I have to unplugged the mouse and plugged again it in order it works.
In advance thank you for your answers
Regards

Since it does not work for three different devices, I will assume it is not something simple like a faulty USB cable. Since it does work for one device, I will also assume that the port is (at least partially) working.
As a test to narrow down the cause, I would try restarting from your Mac OS X installation disc (insert disc and restart with the C key held down).
At the first Installer screen (after language selection), go up the menu bar. Under Utilities, select to run Disk Utility. Now, connect the USB drive into that center port. Does it appear in the Disk Utility sidebar?
Please post back the result...

Apple USB keyboard does not work with one internal usb port

Hi everyone,
hope someone can help me to solve my problem. I have a MPB13 retina late 2013 since something like 3 months. I have additional screen (dell), usb wired keyboard (apple) and BT magic mouse.
Since a few days, my usb keyboard does not work well. It only want to work properly when plugged to the rights side usb port internal port and not anymore on the left one. It also work on a usb external concentrator. Before, I had no problem, it worked perfectly. There was no problem such as cofee on it...
After searching the web on such problem, I tries a few things such as:
I tried the keyboard on another computer (windows): works fine
I tried usb stick and external DVD reading on the left internal usb ports: works fine
I switch the MPB off and turn it back on: the usb keyboard still does not work on the left usb port
I tried the SMC and PRAM reset : nothing
Any idea ??
Thanks
Guillaume

I'm facing the same problem, found any solutions ?

Back USB port does not work

I noticed that one USB port(All other ports appear to be working)in the back of my Mac Pro does not work.
Aside from taking my Mac Pro in for a repair, is there any other way to fix this problem?

You can always try resetting PRAM and NVRAM…
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
… and/or the System Management Controller…

… otherwise no. You will need to take it in for repair and most likely a logic board replacement.

USB Port does not work W510

Hello all,
I am writing to you hoping that one of you may have an idea what's wrong with my beloved w510.
A few hours ago the usb port (on the back on the right side) where I plugged in my external mouse stopped working.
In the Lenovo part list it is referred to as "usb Sub card yellow".
It just does not recognize a mouse nor any usb stick or external drive. I have already reinstalled the usb controller
but it didn't make any difference. (I think the driver is only for the usb 3 hub on the left side of the notebook)
when I plug in the external drive the lights of the drive start "flashing" same for the usb stick, but they are not recognized as drives..Same for the mouse. The lights go on, but nothing else works.
Probably its all my fault, but I don't know what else I can try! Please excuse my bad English...!
Hoping that somebody might be able to help me...
Paul

I have a reproducible test for this issue on my W510.
1) Plug in a usb mouse into the rear usb port and ensure the mouse is working.
2) Hybernate the system.
3) Resume the system.
4) Confirmed the mouse does not work.
5) Disconnect and attach the mouse to one of the left usb ports and confirm the mouse works.
6) Disconnect and attach to the rear usb port and confirm the mouse does NOT work.
7) Restart the system and confirm the mouse still does NOT work.
8) Shut down the computer (a full shutdown, not standby or hybernate).
9) Power the system back on.
10) Confirm the mouse is now working in the rear port.
I can do these steps over and over with the same results regardless of whether the AC adapter is plugged in or not. It appears that the data connection does not work after the system is resumed from a sleeping state. I have the latest UltraNav driver and utility and the latest power management updates.
Oh, and one more test. Hybernate the system with nothing plugged in, then plug in a mouse into the rear usb port when the system is presently hybernated and then power the system back on. The mouse will not work and rebooting doesn't correct it. Only a full shutdown fixes it.

USB ethernet does not work in left USB port

My USB ethernet adapter does not work in the left USB port on my MacBook Air, but it works in the right side. Other devices, like my mouse, work fine in both ports.
Could I have a faulty left-side port with too little power for the ethernet adapter, or is this normal for MacBook Air?

I have the same problem.
USB Ethernet doesn't work with the left USB port. It does work with the right USB port, and any other USB device works with the left USB port on my macbook air
Any solution to this problem?
