USB hub attached AEBS

I want to connect a USB external drive to my AEBS. But after connecting my USB printer to a USB hub which is connected to my AEBS, when I try to print I nothing happens. When I checked the print status the message was "Looking for printer....." "printer offline". Am I missing something?

Welcome to the discussions, David!
I want to connect a USB external drive to my AEBS. But after connecting my USB printer to a USB hub which is connected to my AEBS, when I try to print I nothing happens.
I am assuming here that the printer worked when you had it connected directly to the USB hub on the AEBS, is that correct?
Does the USB hub have it's own power supply? You will need a powered hub for your setup.
If you do have a powered hub, have you power cycled the network?
If not, power everything down...modem, AEBS, devices, computers, order is not important.
Wait a few minutes and start the modem and let it run by itself for a few minutes. Then start the AEBS the same way. Continue starting each device the same way until everything is powered back up.
What are your results?

XP Shutdown hangs when USB hub attached :(

I recently bought a Lenovo 3000 N500 notebook (running XP) , and love it. One slight problem though, I have a Belkin F5U271 USB Hub plugged into it all the time, on my desk, and everytime I shut down with it attached, I get as far as 'Windows is shutting Down...' and it just stays there, the fans stop, theres no hdd activity, and it doesnt happen if the hub is detached. I'm assuming its to do with phantom power through the USB, but any thoughts you guys?

I have the same problem when I leave my expresscard34 multimedia reader in the expresscard34 slot in my T400s with XP SP3.
please advise.

MacBook won't boot with USB hub attached

My new MacBook stalls during the boot process when my powered, 4-port USB 2.0 hub is attached. If I unplug it from the USB port, OS X continues to successfully boot up.
Is this a known issue? The same hub works fine with my PowerBook G4.
Thanks.
MacBook 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo | iPod 5G 60GB Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Yeah, I've already tried that. Much thanks for the reply, though.
It boots fine once the hub is unplugged. I'm just too lazy to remember to unplug the thing every time I start my MacBook. And, I'm generally annoyed because it all worked okay with my PowerBook G4.
So, anyone with a MacBook that boots up fine with a USB hub connected, what kind do you have? I need a recommendation.
Thanks.

Laptop not powering off with powered usb hub attached

I have an external powered USB hub which I have attached to my G60 running Windows 7 Home Premium. When I try to shut down the G60 with the hub attached and powered on, the shutdown sequence goes through Logging Off to Shutting Down but never fully powers off. The power and wireless lights stay on and the fan continues to run.
Is there a way around this apart from powering off the USB hub before shutdown?
This question was solved.

Hi @Andrew_c51 ,
I saw your post regarding the problems with your notebook not shutting down all the way when the powered USB hub is connected. It almost sounds like your notebook is going into sleep or hibernation. I would recommend contacting the manufacturers of the powered USB to see if there is a way of stopping this or just disconnect the hub.

Sleep goes into shutdown when USB hub attached

I was having no issues with 'sleep' until I added a USB (powered) hub. After that, sometime during sleep mode (not immediately) my iMac goes from sleep to shutdown.
If I unplug the hub, sleep works properly.
A slight inconvenience, considering that I bought the hub to avoid reaching around the back of the iMac anytime I needed to plug in a temp peripheral (iTouch, thumb drive, etc.) Though, I can just unplug the USB cable from the hub and not the iMac and sleep mode still behaves.
I've seen posts where USB peripherals can cause an iMac not to sleep, but I seem to have the opposite issue.
Has anyone run into this? I don't know if it is the hub in general, or if a powered hub is an issue.
Thanks for any feedback.

Hi, well you could try the much vaunted SMC & PRAM resets...unmount all EHD first.
Why not try the hub in another computer........L

USB "Low Power Notice" when booting up my G5 with a Belkin USB hub attached

I have a Belkin USB 2.0 hub (FSU237 Rev3) with an external ac adapter.
Everytime I reboot my G5 (running OS 10.4.6), this window pops up:
"USB Low Power Notice
The USB device cannot operate because it needs more power than is available.
To correct this problem you can:
1) Plug the device into an electrical outlet if it has a power cord.
2) Unplug the device and plug it into another USB port on your computer or other device that is plugged into a power cord."
I have tried the hub plugged into the USB jacks in the back of my G5 as well as the front one. It doesn't work. None of the items plugged into the hub show up on the desktop.
I have tried the items I have plugged into the hub (my shuffle and my treo phone with sync cable) by plugging them directly into my G5 (all ports) and they work fine. And I used this hub for months on my PC with no problems.
What could be going on?
PowerMac G5 Quad Mac OS X (10.4.6)

You may want to check System Profiler's USB section to see if the hub even shows up in there (you may have to refresh the list if you try different ports).
I bought one of these hubs for my Quad and it didn't show up at all in System Profiler. Exchanged it for a new one and everything was OK.

USB-Hub not working on LEFT USB port?

Hello,
I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit on my MacBook Pro 13" Retina (Early 2013) and it's running fine. Boot Camp version: 5.0.5033.
But I have one problem: I bought an external monitor (Dell U2414H) which has an built-in 4-Port USB 3.0 hub. So I connect the Dell monitor using a DisplayPort 1.2a cable and an USB 3.0 cable. But Windows only recognizes the monitor's built-in USB hub when I plug the USB cable into the right USB port (when I sit in front of the MacBook). Then it works without problems. But when I plug the USB cable into the left USB port of the MacBook Windows only says "USB device not recognized". But other devices like USB sticks and USB drives also work without problems on left and right USB port of the MacBook. Also when I boot in OS 10.9 Mavericks the monitor's USB hub is working on both USB ports of the MacBook. So I think it isn't a hardware failure. I also re-installed Windows, but I have still the same problem.
Do you have any idea, why only the monitor's built-in USB hub is not working in Windows on the left port of the MBP or even how I could fix it?
Is Boot Camp 5.0.5033 the most current version? I checked the box to download the latest Windows support software and also didn't find anything newer than 5.0.5033 to download, but sometimes I read about 5.1.1 - but where could I download it? AND: Doest it help?
Thanks in advance!

I think I've hit a variation on the problem you're enoucntering. I have a late-2013 13-inch Macbook Pro Retina. I've just installed Boot Camp and a copy of Windows 7 Pro. This is my first experience with Boot Camp and Windows on a Mac, so I'm in foreign teritory.
The install all went fine and Windows 7 booted up fine and so far, all hardware seems to be working as expected, with one exception. Things went sideways when I tried use it in "clamshell" mode - lid closed with external monitors and all my peripherals attached to a USB hub. I set up Boot Camp to boot into Windows and attempted to boot. It would give me the usual boot-up fanfair and a then a gray screen for a few seconds, and then it would reboot. It just rebooted over and over. I eventually discovered the issue was the USB hub - without the hub connected , it would boot just fine. Once it was booted into Windows, I could attach the the hub and everything would be recognized normally. Furthermore, I could put the system in sleep mode, wake it up and everything would be working fine. But it simply refuses to boot the USB hub attached. I've stumbled on a couple related threads - see https://discussions.apple.com/message/23802231#23802231. The suggestion is that only certain hubs to not work. I've got two different high quality powered hubs and both display the same behaviour. The other point is, that when booting into OS X with the same hub, it works perfectly. So it's a strange problem.
Note that after reading your post, I did try the hub in both right and left USB ports and that made no difference in my case. I do have one more hub to try (built into my Dell monitor). I'll report back if that happens to work.

USB hub that allows bootcamp to start

I've found quite a few people running into this problem on the forums: my bootcamp won't boot when there's a usb hub attached to my macbook pro.
Does anyone know of a USB hub model that will allow booting? I've tried 3 already and none work and I'm tired of disconnecting the usb hub every time I boot in bootcamp...
Thanks!

I tried the following hubs:
- Dell monitor (powered)
- Targa 4 port (unpowered)
- dlink 7 port (powered)
They all exhibit the same behavior.
What I was looking in this post was someone running into this issue and what hubs fix their problem...
It isn't the hub on its own preventing the boot, it's only when certain devices are attached through the hub...But the devices are not the issue, since system would boot if devices are plugged in directly (but with only 2 usb ports, that's not an option either).
Thanks

When USB hub is connected Sat P30 doesnt boot up

I recently purchased a Toshiba P30, in the USB port I connected an USB 2.0 HUB.
This to connect, printer, scanner, external harddisk etc., etc.
When the USB HUB is pluged in the USB port, the computer will not start up.
I must first disconnect the Hub before I can push the on/off button.
Can somebody help me and tell me what I must do to be able to start the computer
with the USB HUB attached to the notebook.
Manny thanks
Jos

Hello Jos
It is really not easy to say what the problem can be but in my opinion it is definitely because of HUB. You will not believe me but my colleague has Satellite P10 and two USB HUBs are connected to his unit and there is no problem at all. I dont know which one you have but if there is any possibility try to test it with other one.
Bye

USB 3.0 Hub attached to a Mac Mini does not work

I have already 2 USB 2.0 hubs attached and work perfectly. I want to add a 3.0 USB powered hub but it does not work. The USB is a Iogear 3.0 USB Hub.
Thank you

Does any USB thing show up?
Of not...
USB reset...
If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device. A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
1. Shut the machine down.
2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.
3. leave it for 10 minutes.
4. Connect back up and reboot.

Attach Ethernet dongle via USB hub?

Hi. I'm getting a new MBA at work and the only reservation I have is the single USB port. Can the Ethernet dongle be plugged into a USB hub, or does it have to go straight into the port on the laptop? Does i tmatter if the hub is powered or not?
Thanks for any help.

You should be able to use the USB Ethernet adapter on a USB hub. The hub needs to be USB2 (not the slower USB1.) I don't know if the hub needs to be powered or not, but in the past, I've had trouble with non-Apple USB Ethernet adapters on non-powered hubs. [This thread from a few days ago|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2497134&tstart=0] was from someone with issues using the adapter with a hub, although he has not posted his final results yet.
If you can't find a compatible hub, perhaps you can use a Wi-Fi access point. It's like a typical home router, but just the wireless part. In essence you'll have a "wireless" ethernet adapter for your Macbook Air, instead of a USB adapter. Some companies internal policies do not allow wireless networking so you may have to check with your network administrator.
Some consumer home routers can be configured as an access point (a.k.a. bridged.) If you don't need to take the "ethernet adapter" with you on the road, then you can just get a non-portable access point. Otherwise something like an [Airport Express|http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB321LL/A/AirPort-Express-AirTunes?fn ode=MTY1NDEyMQ&mco=MTA4NzI4ODU]. Other companies have similar products. I used the [dLink DWL-G730AP] in my pre-Macbook days. I believe dLink has [a faster one now|http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=753].

Any recommendations for USB 3 Hub attached to MacAir USB port?

I have 2 seagate external drives each one draws 36 milliamp power.

I do not recommend HD passing thru USB hubs, no way no how.
Yes, the USB 2.5" need 5volts. however mAh varies a decent bit.
Using a USB hub (most all of them are junk) is like passing your valuable data thru a staticy old phone line repeater.
Use a USB hub all you want, just not with your external hard drives, ....many do, however theyre making a mistake.

Access to external drives connected to Airport Extreme via USB Hub

I have 2 computers connected wirelessly to an Airport Extreme 802.11n base station. I have a Belkin powered USB hub connected to the USB port on the Extreme. There is a Lacie hard drive, a USB printer and a Kingston flash drive connected to the USB hub.
The printer was connected using Bonjour and is working fine. The other devices connected to the USB hub aren't getting picked up. They did work at one point, but are no longer viewable from the computers (MAC Book and Windows XP). How can I re-configure the Extreme or my computers so that they'll work again?

DLNA = Digital Living Network Alliance. DLNA works in a Server-Client fashion with the Server providing the means to stream audio/video files to the client. DLNA servers are also called media servers. The AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), with an attached USB HDD at best, can perform as a media storage device ... not as a server. You would still need a media server (either hardware or software) to perform this role.
For example, I use a software DLNA-compliant media server, called TwonkyServer. I run this server on one of my Mac minis. It gets its media files that are stored on a USB HDD attached to my 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn). TwonkyServer then streams these video files to my Xbox 360 which performs as a media client/player.
