Usb devices cash mac book pro?

hi i recently did a system update on my mac. after doing so when i try to plug the usb cabel to my printer or a flash drive into my computer a dark veil comes down telling me to restart my computer. However if i plug in my ipod it works perfectly fine... at first i thought it was my printer being evil... but when i pluged in a flash drive and it did the same i got very concerned is there any way to fix this or do i need to send my computer in some where?

Well, I hope that I may at this time be you guys' savior. I was experiencing same issue shortly after a few updates performed around Feb 16-17, shortly there after I tried to plug in my 500G drive used for Time Machine and Bingo! the infamous veil came over the system and 'that's all she wrote' of course I panicked since I have a lot of important date on the drive thinking that was the problem but when I tried to plug in a USB Key, same thing. Anyways, after performing exhaustive searches and troubleshooting came up with this update which needed to be performed for the IOUSB, the file required is the following: IOUSBFamily-327.4.0.dmg, I believe you have to sign up with the developers site, but its free, I skeptically installed it and ALAS my system and USB external devices came back to live once again. I really hope this helps. Sorry for rambling on, but it was an exciting and productive finding.
Thanks....

USB connection to MAC Book Pro

My Xperia Z2 tablet has been delivered with a docking station DK 39 and a USB charger. Charging - even a little bit slow - works fine. For data transfer from my Mac Book Pro (quite new 13 inch) I connected the Z2 tablet via the docking station DK 39 and USB to my notebook.
The Z2 tablet does not get recognized and even not charged.
Does this generally not work or I do need another cable to connect directly the Z2 tablet to my notebook?

DK39 and magnetic connectors on Z2 tablet and Z, Z1 and Z2 smartphones are charge only.
You have to use USB cable and connector.
Best regards,

DNP DS80 printer to Mac Book Pro via USB

I have a DNP DS80 photo printer that I was told cannot be used with Snow Leopard because of the interface issue with USB devices on Mac Book Pro. I upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard recently, and after it the print link to Mac Book Pro was disabled. Can anyone help?

Dave, Thanks for your kind reply. I found out that Apple does not support this printer yet. Meanwhile, I have to downgrade my OS from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Leopard version 10.5.6. I need help with this downgrading process because when I load the disk for OS 10.5.6 (Leopard) the message comes up telling me that I cannot load this software in my laptop (Mac Book Pro). I don't know if I have to erase Snow Leopard before loading Leopard, or do something else. I have to tell you that the Leopard disk did not come with Mac Book Pro (it's original OS was Tiger), it is the disk for my iMac G5 and I wonder if it can be used for the laptop. Can you advise!

Thanks!
Best regards,

i did went to Samsung Support: here is the result of it:
Isabella: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?
Visitor: Hello Isabella. How are you today ?
Isabella: I am fine. Thank you for asking.
Isabella: Please proceed with the query.
Visitor: I hope you can help me fix connecting issue for Galaxy S II with my Mac Book Pro late 2011. It was working till some day and now it does not recognise it when i connect phone via USB. I should note that on Windows on same machine or on my Mini Mac it works fine. so it can't be problem in wire or usb ports. Could not find answer in Apple forums and in forums they did suggest to turn here! I hope you can help me!
Isabella: I understand that you are finding difficulties connecting device to Mac. Am I correct?
Visitor: yes. but only to one specific Mac. as to others it connects without a problem.
Isabella: Thank you for the details.
Visitor: i think problem is in driver only i can't find how to manually remove from Mac
Isabella: May I know the model number of your phone? To know the model number of the phone, please tap on Home>> Applications>> Settings>> About phone.
Visitor: GT-I9100
Isabella: Thank you for the model number.
Isabella: However as you are able to connect the device to windows and Mini Mac then there is no issue with the device. This seems to be an issue with the Mac.
Isabella: However we in Samsung US do not have the instructions on uninstalling drivers on Mac.
Isabella: I request you to contact apple for support related to Mac.
Visitor: Yess it is probably issue with drivers on that particular Mac. Might be you can guide me to location where Kies or phone driver is stored on mac? I then will try to manually delete is from system or replace from another machine
Isabella: The model number you have provided is an international model and we do not have any information on the device you are referring to.
Isabella: I would have surely provided you with the information if we had the information available with us.
Visitor: If you don't know might be you could escalate to some higher level ?
Isabella: It was a pleasure assisting you. Thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. If you have a minute, please click on the blue “X close” button to receive a transcript of your chat and fill out a brief survey to help us serve you better. Have a wonderful day!

So i was terminated and left without answer. But i did not expect anything else from Samsung Support..
So might be someone of you know where drivers are located? i could try to copy them from one machine to another manualy!!!

Yosemite update, MAC Book Pro early 2008 - Dead like. Overheated, Blank screen

Before 3 days I installed the latest updated for Yosemite. After the update, I make the laptop “sleep”. But I noticed that while sleeping the power LED indicator behaved in a strange way. Also the laptop was very hot and after couple of hours of sleep, It count be powered on.
I pull out the battery and power cable to cool id down. After that is was OK.
This same scenario was repeating last 2 day, always while the laptop was off/in-sleep.
Now no the 3th day, I noticed the battery is drain out. Now it is fully recharged, but the Laptop want to power on.
After powering on, the Led indicator is glowing like (half-intensity) and noting happens. The screen is blank.
Can someone advise me, what to do?
Some notes:
================
-The device is MAC Book Pro early 2008
-The battery is New, used for about 3 weeks, without problems
-I tried and alternative (old, original) battery, but it is the same. Which makes me think the problem isn`t in battery.
-It happened right after the Yosemite update.
-While sleep it was very hot
-LED indicator behaves strange
Thank you for any advice or tip.

Sorry for the spelling I am dyslex.....
I had this happen to.
For some unknown resin my 2.5Ghz MacBook Pro overheated and witch killed it. Requires a new Logic Board.
Resions for this diagnoses:
1) The laptop was running Sarfia in Yosemite before before I closed the lid.
2) I did not take note that when I had put the laptop down it had not gone to sleep.
3) When after 3 hours shopping, I picked the laptop up it was VERY! hot on the bottom (much hotter than it has ever been) (and it was not the battery)
4) Before I got it turned off by pressing the power button the fans where running but not fast.
5) I let it cool down before trying to turn it back on.
6) I tried all the reset operations
7) The disk drives (HDD and Optical) spin up and did the diags.
What I don't know is:
1) Why did not the thearmail shutdown not kick in?
2) Why when I picked it up and it was clearly VERY HOT! the fans where not running fast?
3) If the OS was doing something (update while asleep)?
4) If the OS was doing something how and why did it stop the fans spinning fast to keep the laptop cool.
Sadley I now have to shell out for a new Logic Board.

Microphone not working mac book pro..help?

Late 2010 model 10.6.8...my microphone has never worked and I've gone through all the regular easy steps and still no mic? Any advice?

Hi WebBrowser2,
As I understand your query its not a single doubt you are having at all, actually it’s a bunch of multiple doubt you are carrying here in your mind allied to Mac Book Pro (USB Ports are not working). There might be various reasons behind- not working of USB ports in Mac Book Pro, as you already had searched out various ways to fix all your issues. A few months ago, I faced the same issue as my USB port was suddenly stopped to respond, then I also tried to find various ways to get rid of this issue, and I found an informative blog link which has fixed this issue and make me tension free.
For more information visit at- http://www.olmtopsts.com/blogs/when-macbook-pro-usb-ports-not-working.html
And I am hoping- it will assist you in the same way as it assists me.

HT3205 My mac book pro will not turn on. The light on the battery charger is weak, barely visible.

I recently purchased an iphone 5s. After returning home form the apple store, so very excited to sync my new device, my mac book pro won't turn on.
it was last used 3 hours prier to me returning home. It won't turn on, the charger light is weak, barely visible. When I plug the charger to another device it works fine. Before I take it to be repaired I would like to get a general idea of the problem, as well as an estimated cost.

A. We have no idea what the problem might be.
B. We have no ideaa what it will cost to repair it.
C. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

Mac book pro don't recognize usb 3.0 devices after installing ntfs-3g

I have installed OS X Mavericks after deleting everything in the hard drive (i.e. complete new installation). It should work fine, nevertheless the problem persist, in my case my mac book pro doesn't recognize a nexus 4 conected to the USB port, but before installing the ntfs-3g software the mac book recgnized that device. So I don't know how to resolve this problem because it hadn't solved even doing a completely new installation of the OS X Mavericks.

I had a similar problem that arose because Apple over-rode the original USB drivers with a kernal extension.
UNloading the extension fixed my problems. Perhaps it will help you.
In a terminal, type this:
sudo kextunload -b com.apple.driver.AppleUSBFTDI
If it solves your problem, keep in mind you'll have to do it after every reboot (a good use for command line history.)
If it doesn't, you can put it right back with this:
sudo kextload -b com.apple.driver.AppleUSBFTDI
Hope that helps. I should also warn you that in my experience, 10.9.3's USB performance is terrible.

U2515H, mac book pro, no USB devices seen?

Hi I cant see on my mac book pro any of my devices connectted to teh USB ports on my new U2515H - help?

Dell does not test/validate this monitor model on apple proprietary hardware and software. Per the User's Guide, did you plug the monitor USB upstream cable into the monitor bottom USB upstream port and the other end into a USB port on the computer? If yes, the computer should have notified you that "new hardware" was found.

How do I Install Windows 7 on Mac Book Pro via a Bootable USB Drive

Hi Guys,
I have a Mac Book Pro 13 inch, Early 2011 Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 (I initially had OS 10.5.8 which I upgraded to OSX 10.9.4 a few months ago).
When purchased it, I installed Windows via Super Drive (that being the only time i ever used the super drive). My Windows got corrupted for some reason 2 months ago. Hence, I removed the windows via Bootcamp to perform a fresh install. I discovered my Super Drive was no longer working.
Thereon I have been trying to install Windows via a bootable USB Drive but am failing to do so. After going through several forums, I have reached the following stage.
1. Created Bootable Windows USB Drive using Windows USB (http://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Bootable-Windows-7-or-Vista-USB-Drive). Have used this USB drive to install windows on a DELL Computer
2. Bootcamp wasnt creating a partition for windows since no Windows Installation disc was being detected in super drive. (Solved it by downloading Toast Titanium and loading the .iso file on a virtual drive).
3. Boot menu was initially not detecting external drive, so installed rEFIt - An EFI Boot Menu and Toolkit. Now it is detecting the USB Drive.
Now when I boot from this device, it get a black screen with the message "No bootable device - Insert Boot Disk"
Request someone to please help me install windows as some softwares which I work with are windows based.

So my understanding is that my Boot Camp Assistant (BCA), since it does not allow USB installer, it sets NVRAM to boot from Optical Drive. Right?
Yes.
So can I change it or update it to another BCA version which supports the same??
All BCA versions drive the logic based on the Mac Model Identifier. Unfortunately there is no real workaround. .

How can I do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder which does not have firewire out/input? it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite RCA output?

I need to do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder (http://store.sony.co...ber=HDRAX2000/H) ..this camcorder model does not have firewire out/input ..it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite A/V video output..
I wonder how can I plug this camcorder to the firewire port of my laptop? Browsing on internet I found that Grass Valley Company produces this converter http://www.amazon.co...=A17MC6HOH9AVE6 ..but I am not sure -not even after checking the amazon reviews- if this device will send the video signal through firewire to my laptop, in order to live streaming properly? ..anyone in this forum could help me please?
Thanx

I can't broadcast with the built in iSight webcam... how would I zoom in or zoom out? or how would I pan? I've seem people doing it walking with their laptops but that's not an option for me... there's nothing wrong with my USB ports but that's neither an option to stream video because as far as I know through USB you can't connect video in apple operating systems ..you can for sure plug any video cam or photo camera through usb but as a drive to transfer data not as a live video camera... is by firewire an old interface developed by apple that you can connect all sorts of cameras to apple computers... unfortunately my new sony HDR-AX2000 camcorder doesn't have firewire output...
thanx

HT4061 iTunes will not open when my iPhone 4S is attached to my Mac Book Pro. iTunes will start up but as soon as my iPhone appears in the list of devices the program then quits and displays the message 'iTune Quit Unexpectedly'? Can anybody help?

The Problem/s
1. I am unable to sync my iPhone 4S with my Mac Book Pro, either by cable, wifi or bluetooth
2. iTunes will initiall open and briefly identifies the iPhone in the Device section in iTunes.
3. When iTunes starts to read the iPhone (displaying the spinning wheel), it immediately then quits and
4. Opens a 'dialogue box' which displays the message "iTunes Quit Unexpectedly"
5 The dialoge box offers the following button options to:-
'Show Details'
The 'Show Details' button will open and display a list of the 'Problem Details and System Configeration'. To the average user the information is useless, as one doesn't know what to look for to solve the problem. This is a long and detailed report (too long to include in this message), which includes information such as:-
Crashed Thread: 20
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x00000000000006f0
'OK'
The 'Ok' button simply quits and closes the dialogue box
'Reopen'
The 'Reopen' button will again reopen iTunes, briefly showing that it is trying to read the iPhone in the Devices section, but then returns again to display the same dialogue box.
Other Information
1. iTunes will still start normally once the USB cable is removed from the Mac book Pro, but crashes again once the USB cable is reattached to the computer
Any advice or help offered would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely
Rob

Are the two USB3 ports on a Mac Book Pro independent channels of USB?

Are the two USB3 ports on a 15" 2012 Mac Book Pro independent channels of USB? If I plug a USB2 device into one of the ports, does it slow the other as well?
Thanks
MtD

Thanks - according to this Apple KB article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5172
plugging in a USB 2 device into the USB3 daisy chain slows all devices on that chain to USB2 speed.
What I am trying to find out is if the two ports on the side of the MacBook Pro are independent channels of USB, so that you could operate with a USB2 device on one port and still obtain USB 3 speeds (with USB3 only devices plugged in) on the second port.
