Usb Disabled

Hi, Last night I put my computer to sleep and I woke up this morning to the error message saying
"Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled. To prevent damaging your computer, the USB device drawing too much power has been disabled. Other devices may have also been disabled. When you disconnect the device drawing too much power, your other USB devices will be enabled again."
I have removed all the usb connection except the mac keyboard. i have tested 2 USB port out of 3 usb ports are not working. i have restored my computer by the time machine. but still cannot slove the USB problem.
Question: How to enabled the USB devices again????
thanks
Kobe

I have had this problem and nothing fixed it (it appeared suddenly one day after about 4 months of use). Tried to reset SMC and PRAM with no result. My Macbook pro was also temperamental with waking from sleep, sometimes I would have to plug in the charger and turn it back on. Turns out my logic board needed replacing. If yours have both symptoms then you may need to take it in to get looked at as this may well be the case. Apparently its a fault from manufacture that occurs now and again..

  • New Iphone 3G - Army Laptop - USB Disabled- ITunes does not see Iphone

    I have a new Iphone 3G and am trying to sync up my Outlook Address Book, however my computer is a US Army Laptop that has the USB disabled. The XP operating system recognizes the device as a camera but ITunes does not see the Iphone. Any suggestions or am I out of luck?

    You will have to use a different computer that isn't from DoD. As you know they have disabled USB ports except for mice/keyboards because of various world wide issues, they are being very strict about this and I don't see them enabling it for an iPhone when they wouldn't let me use them for 5 minutes to get some data from an old dying machine.

  • Lacie "using too much power", USB disabled, can't access ext HD?

    Last night, moving items to my Ext HD, i got an error message about the USB "using too much power" and then it disabled it.
    I'm using a 15'' 2006 Macbook with 10.6.7 operating system.
    I've googled the issue and have run out of ideas.
    The Ext HD is a 500GB LaCie Little Disk New Pack USB2.0 Black
    Restarted the macbook.
    Booted the macbook into safe mode.
    I've tried plugging something else into both my USB ports (it detected the item, a camera card reader) and was usable.
    When I plug in my Lacie Ext HD now using its usb cord, the blue light on the Lacie flashes as if its detectable/inuse but there's nothing in my Mac menus showing access to it.
    HELP ?

  • USB disable/enable on IAP

    Q: Is there an option to disable/enable USB ports on IAP?
    A: USB port is enabled by default in earlier Instant versions and it cannot be modified. Starting 4.2, it provides WLAN user an option to enable or disable per his/her requirement.
    Note: Any changes made to USB profile will take effect only after rebooting that AP.

  • Macbook pro 2010 usb disabled

    I have a MacBook Pro late 2010 (unibody) and both USB ports are disabled. Got that message about a device consuming too much......but after removing it....still not working. Not even the network port is working. I tried few tips found on forum (PRAM reset and power reset) and still nothing........
    Please help!
    Ohh...one quick thing...it workes if I connect a powered device (external hard drive).
    Thanks a lot!

    USB take power away from the internal supply.
    If you buy a "powered USB hub" (plugged into an AC outlet), it relieves the stress and the system does not "waffle around" trying to power things that are plugged in (like stealing power from RJ45).
    These hubs allow connection of up to 10 devices depending on the model of hub you choose.
    Just a thought, based on the fact that a self-powered device did work.

  • Regardless of the charge, usb disabled

    I have a reletively new and little used mac book pro with 8 gigs of memory that can't handle my ipod touch and promptly "disables" my usb. 
    It's left me unable to sync my ipod despite my unplugging it right away and now can't even charge it on my mac.  What gives? 
    From what I've read, I'm not alone in having this issue & its one that shouldn't have ever been let out of the Apple factory....
    Yes, I had an external hard drive attached but it has its own power supply (its a g drive I purchased from Apple) and is necessary since
    Apple went with seperating all the options (either light & portable or have optical drive, readable screen or memory... Geeze I miss how Steve Jobs
    ran the company )
    Any common sense advice or offers to buy my laptop would be appreciated but if you don't know, please just ignore my post.
    Thank you!

    Thank you for your prompt reply. I can and will do that but if this, in fact, does help what will it tell me? From what I know about Safe Mode it loads only the "bare bones" windows settings which I certainly would NOT be happy running all the time just to solve my problem.
    A reply would be greatly appreciated and thank you.

  • USB is deteced even if the USB disabled by Group Policy on machine

    Hi,
    There are few machine on which USB is disabled by group policy but still if i plug in a USB pen drive then its gets connected and gets displayed on desktop. Many times i have updated the the gpo on the machines by gpresult /force cmd and restarted the machine
    but still it doesn't work. USB disbaled policy are applied on the this machine and this is confirmed by generating the RSoP and gpresult /h report.html or gpresult /r /scope computer. The usbstr.inf and usbstr.pnf (something like this) permission are only
    for system and no privileged permission are given for any user.
    Is any thing remaining to check. What else is need to do to block the USB ports.
    Thanks for helping.

  • HT4528 why does plugging iphone 4 into PC thru USB disable computers wireless adapter?

    why does plugging in iphone 4 to PC it is authorized on cause the computers wireless adapter to shutdown? Don't recall changing anything on either one, but did do some updates on windows update.

    You probably would get better answers to this on a Microsoft Windows forum...the iPhone should notbe doing anything to affect the operation of Windows as it does not communicate with the operating system.
    Have you checked the Network Control Panel to see if anything has been changed due to the Windows updates you installed?  Something in the updates must have changed the network settings or network card settings.

  • USB ports not working at all - C655D-5048

    Please help me. This is driving me nuts!
    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium (x64)
    Model: Toshiba Satellite C655D-0548
    Actions already taken:
    - System restore (twice)
    - Uninstalling all USB ports via Device Manager
    - Resetting the BIOS to its original settings
    - Updating the BIOS
    - Remove AC PS and battery, hold down power button for more than thirty seconds
    - Change in Power Settings - Disable USB disabling for power
    Worth noting:
    Last night, everything was working fine. Today, I updated CCleaner and cleaned most of my files and useless registry values. I noticed the problem with both USB ports when I realized my iPod was not charging, and it would not connect at all. I tried all of the above to no avail, and hibernate the computer. I come back home, resume it, plug in my mouse, and it starts working again. I plug in my iPod, says it is connected, but it is not charging. 10 secs later, both ports die again.
    Another thing worth noting here: When I start the computer with my mouse plugged in, my mouse would light up for half a second, and then shut back down.
    I have absolutely no idea what else to do. Is it software? Hardware? I bought this computer on July 28th, 2010. I will be taking it to a local store so that I can give it a review. But, please, has anyone solved this issue? Any tips?
    Thanks!!

    Here's your model's downloads, specs, user guide, etc, page:
    Satellite C655D-S5048
    If you haven't done it yet, make sure you have made copies of your Toshiba Recovery disks. Click 'Start - All Programs - My Toshiba - Recovery Media Creator. Follow the on screen instructions. You'll need 3 blank DVDs. See bottom of page 68 of your user guide.
    Next, I would normally try to reload your chipset drivers, the USB drivers are usually part of this.  But, both your model's downloads page, and the European model's page, do not have a seperate chipset driver.  However, your specs show you have an AMD graphics card that is part of the AMD chipset. These things seem true for the whole 'family' of similar models.
    So, I would reload the AMD display driver, and hope the chipset drivers are part of that package:
    AMD Display Driver
    If this doesn't work, backup all your own user files off your hard drive. Then run the Toshiba Recovery program, to return your unit to its out-of-the-box state. You can do this when powering up your system by holding down the '0' zero key until you see the Toshiba Recovery menu. The instructions for this begin on the bottom of page 59 of your user guide.
    Let us know what happens. Good Luck.

  • USB zip drive work on ni8174 with NT4.0?

    Has anyone used an Iomega Zip drive (USB) on the NI8174 with NT 4.0 installed? Iomega supplies special drivers for using usb on NT 4.0, but I am wondering about if the drivers work on this computer from NI...

    Hello Jason!
    The NI 8171 Series PXI Embedded Controllers use industry standard Intel architectures. Specifically, these controllers use the Intel 815e chipset, which implements a UHCI USB host adapter. As long as the Iomega NT driver supports this adapter, this should work.
    As far as software, you will need to disable Legacy USB in BIOS, so that the OS can use the Iomega driver. With Legacy USB disabled, you will not be able to use USB keyboards or mice.

  • FM2-A75MA-E35 + Leadtek WinFast DTV 2000 DS Plus = no USB?

    Hi guys
    Bit of an issue - I bought some new bits and pieces for a HTPC and all works fine until I put the tuner card in, then the PC powers on but gives me no display. The monitor comes out of standby (green light) and the normal POST sounds are heard, but the screen stays black. After much testing and pain I have found that disabling USB in the BIOS is the only way to get a picture to display while the tuner card is installed...but I cant do anything without USB! Well...I can, but no USB is unacceptable really...
    PC details in sig.
    Things i've done...
    Had a sinking feeling the PSU wasnt powerful enough so disconnected and 3 drives so only mobo had power (with tuner on board). No difference but rules out OS as an issue.
    Updated BIOS and everything to most recent. No change.
    Tried all 3 video outputs (HDMI, DVI, VGA). Nadda.
    Changed all BIOS settings relating to intergrated graphics (Auto, Dual, etc), wasnt a whole lot I could do here. Nothing.
    Tried a PCI-E 5450 card and disabled onboard. No good.
    Tested tuner in my main rig, boots up and Win7 finds it nps - just wanted drivers. Issue not the tuner card.
    Tried a PCI NIC in the mobo and HTPC boots up fine. Issue not the slot.
    Disabled everything onboard in the BIOS - Got a picture!!
    Cleared BIOS to get back into it, disabled everything except USB...failed again
    Cleared BIOS again, enabled everything except USB, got a picture....but no USB...?!
    So it seems a USB + Tuner card clash...well PCI tuner at least, or maybe just this model.
    Bit bummed i've spent about $500 on new parts for it not to come together - hope someone could be arsed reading my novel here and has an idea. Not sure what to try next.
    Any help appreciated !!
    Edit - Final Question....if I go to BIOS 2.0/2.1 does it only support Richland chips??

    Quote from: flobelix on 04-July-13, 00:39:16
    Try the board out of case on a non-conductive surface with basic components and then try tuner and usb.
    Not sure where/how it would be grounding and causing a fault only to USB....but im willing to try anything atm!
    Had it going last night and installed the drivers + software with USB disabled and using a PS2 keyboard...quite frankly it was rather painful. I didnt actually connect it to a TV ant and test so I will try that this afternoon to ensure the card works correctly.
    Quote from: flobelix on 04-July-13, 00:39:16
    No, it will support all previously supported Trinity cpus as well.
    Would you suggest going to 2.1?

  • GE60 2PE Don't boot to BIOS, notebook bricked.

    Hello, Yesterday night I was watching a youtube show on my netbook, running without power supply only with the battery (I only done this for 3 times in 7 months so I'm not worried about battery being discharged) and I fall sleep. This morning when I waked up, I tried to boot from hibernation to properly shutdown the system but the netbook doesn't boot.
    Things I tried to do:
    1º - I tried to power on normally only running from battery. Only power on with blue/orange power light, and a small light from the HDD for 2 seconds nothing happened.
    2º - Power off by pressing power button for 4 seconds. I waited 5 mins I plugged in the power adaptor and I tried again with same results, don't boot.
    3º - Removed battery and power adaptor, I pressed power button for 60 seconds to discharge (i saw this advice on Youtube). Plugged in only power adaptor and tried to power on. Same results, don't boot.
    4º - Removed battery and power adaptor, presed power button for 60 seconds to discharge (). I connected the netbook to my TV with a HDMI cable, plugged in only power adaptor and tried to power on. Same results, don't boot.
    Symptoms:
    Power on, power LED in blue color for half second later turns to orange color only, no blinking only the same orange color all the time. The fan starts to spin in normal speed, HDD led blinks for 1-2 seconds and off. The screen is off (no light even on the back cover where the MSI dragon badge is), don't appears MSI logotype, no BIOS mesage or sound, no screen(fully black no backlight) no HDD. Laptop keeps running.
    System info:
    MSI GE60-2PE "Apache Pro",
    Geniune Windows 8.0 PRO (My own license not from MSI, and it's 8.0 not 8.1 I don't like to update)
    BIOS UEFI in fast boot mode, legacy USB disable. USB Handoff fixes disabled in BIOS, Enabled only boot from HDD/win8. The rest i think it's default settings.
    BIOS: E16GFIMS.529 (previously .528 and .526)
    Motherboard: MS16-GF
    EC Firmware: 16GFEMS1.50B (I can't remember if I updated firmwares previously)
    Touchpad Firmware: 03
    HDD:Standart WD HDD, no msata drives. No intel RAID.
    DVD: Standart LG DVD.
    RAM: 4Gb Standart Samsung/Hynix? SODIMM + 4Gb GSkill DD3L 1.666Mhz (1.35v) upgraded by myself.
    All drivers installed with the exception of the integrated radio switch controller.
    Intel HD 4600 - OK (updated 01/2015 from manufacturer)
    Nvidia Graphics - OK (updated 12/2014 from manufacturer)
    Intel WiFi/Bluetooth 3160 - OK (updated 01/2015 from manufacturer)
    Atheros KillerNIC - OK (Drivers version from MSI DVD)
    Elantech Touchpad - OK (updated in 01/2015 from MSI support page)
    Intel chipset stuff - OK (update 12/2014 from manufacturer)
    Webcam - OK (no drivers installed, work with windows8 deafult drivers)
    Software installed:
    Only MSI KLM (keyboard light manager) with also installed a SCM service.
    The netbook worked smooth since the begining until today for 7 months (really great hardware). The only thing i suppose that could be a problem with BIOS update (I updated two weeks ago) or EC firmware (I updated 3-4 weeks ago), since I don't worked withour power adaptor from new year, until today.
    There's something I could do that I miss? a reset jumper, or reset CMOS button. Or I should ask to RMA to my netbook shop.
    PD: I don't like to get a replacement netbook from other RMA user. I want my machine, I know what it's done and how it's done,  I have my stickers in mint condition, I know my battery is well mantained, I have my FAN clean, I have the exterior and screen really clean and without scratches, have all my personal data on HDD. Should be worried about getting someones netbook? I should remove the HDD to avoid my personal data being compromised and I can lose them (i don't have backup)?
    Also apologize my english, but the spanish forum looks empty and dead, only see news.

    I suppose so, thanks chc for your time reading my issue.
    I should contact my shop for RMA.
