USB HUB connection issues

I recently added a D-LINK DUB-H7 to my macbook.. The usb hub works fine when my macbook pro starts up but after the laptop goes into sleep mode I will experience either problems with a few of the devices connected not responding or all of the devices not responding. The only solution seems to be a reboot of my macbook pro.
Does anyone know if this problem is Mavericks related or if there is something I can do within the system to prevent the connection from being lost when waking my Mac from sleep mode?

I was having the same problem with my USB hub after connecting an audio interface that used up one of my USB ports on my MacBook Pro. I connected the hub to the other computer port. That's when all the trouble started with trying to come out of sleep mode.
My solution was to connect my keyboard directly to the computer port and then daisy chain the hub out of the USB port on the keyboard. It seems that you need to have your input devices on the first part of the chain.
I hope that's helpful
Cheers.

Time Machine Backup of USB Hub connected HDD

Hi all,
I've got 2 HDD's connected to my AEBS through a USB hub. One is for TM backup, the other for extended storage. Is there a way to include the latter during backup?
TM is working fine wirelessly through the AEBS, and both drives mount at startup in my finder, but there is no evidence of it being included in the backup/sparsebundle. The extra drive is not in TM's excluded list and it is Mac OS journaled.
Anybody trying this setup with any amount of success?
Thanks.

Yep, trying to include the extra storage disk in the TM backup. I realize I can connect the disk to a backedup Mac as a quick fix, but need the extra storage disk to remain an airdisk for remote access, independent of my computer.
So, I'm guessing there is no way to include it as long as it's sharing a spot on the AEBS's USB hub?

USB Hub Connection

Hello All,
This is my first Mac and I have to say that I really like the UI and how media friendly this seems to be. On to my question. I have a home network that has 3 Windows PCs and the new Mac attached. All machines connect to a Linksys router (811g) without a problem.
I also have a USB hub that has two shared drives and a printer hanging off of it. The PCs see the USB hub, can print, and see the shared drives. The Mac cannot.
Now my knowledge is limited and I expect that the answer is quite simple. Any suggestions out there?
Thanks.

On current OS, no.

USB Hub Connections Vanishing?

I have a relatively new MacBook Air and I seem to be having a consistent problem with USB hubs.
I've purchased 3 different brands of POWERED USB hubs, and all of them exhibit the same pattern...
If I connect my ethernet adapter and then connect my iPhone, after around 20 to 30 seconds or so all USB connections vanish (in the middle of my iPhone sync). If I use only 1 device at a time on the hubs, they work fine...
I've tried 3 different brands of hubs (all powered & plugged in), including Belkin & MacAlley...
Is this an indication that my system is having a hardware problem?

Could be a problem with the iPhone. I'm unable to sync my iPhone through a hub, only directly connected. Apple recommends not to connect the iPhone through a hub.

E7-00 USB / Power connection issues

The E7-00 was updated to the latest Symbian Belle software
Recently a problem started to appear in the USB connection.
After connecting the phone through a USB cable the USB port on the PC (Windows XP current version) signals a power problem. ( Power surge on the hub port, Pc shuts itself off)
This happens on 2 different PC's both with Windows XP installed.
Thanks for your responses / feedback.

Hi freitsma,
Have you tried another USB port? If this doesn't fix the issue, a hard reset should. If the device doesn't recognise the PC and you're unable to create a backup, try to make a manual back up, then hard reset the device with *#7370# and default security code 12345.
If the phone is not recognised by multiple PCs after the hard reset, please visit a local Care centre where they can reinstall the software of your phone and fix any further issue that causes the power problem. You can find your nearest Care centre by visiting your local Nokia web page and clicking on the Support tab.
Let me know how you get on.

N97 mini USB cable connectivity issue

Hello all,
I've tried to connect my N97 mini with the micro USB cable, and it seems not to work.
When I connect the device, It asks me to pick PC Suite, I choose it, but then, when it tries to install the phone on my laptop, it just doesn't work, and it says that the hardware might not work ok.
I have uninstalled and installed Ovi Suite 2 times, I have resetted the phone and it doesn't work.
It worked first with Bluetooth, but now that I try again, it just doesn't work anymore.
Please let me know what I can do.
Thank you!
Luisa

Same issue here. Reset phone, cleaned and reinstalled all software but no success.
I tried the cable with different nokia models and it works fine, it is definitely a N97 mini issue.
Waiting for a firmware update to get this really basic function

BT Home Hub connection issue on XBOX 360

I have just upgraded from a BT Home Hub 3, to the BT Home Hub 4, before the upgrade I ran Sky TV wired, and 3PCs wifi, my Ipad and my Iphone. I also ran my XBOX 360 wifi, and a PS3 wifi, all worked no problem.
Now I am on BT Home Hub 4, all my connections are the same all working well apart from the XBOX 360.
I have tried doing the fix on the BT site logging into the Hub changed the SIDD and set the other bit to NO. this did not work.
I then reset the XBOX to factory settings as this was in another fix, I then reset the XBOX to the Hub 4, logged on to call of duty ghosts got half way through a game it crashed out saying no conection reset to test conection.
The Hub will conect to my XBOX 360 but only stay conected for up to 14 mins at most.
Do I need to go back to my BT Home Hub 3, Can any body help its starting to be a pain. As one good person said use a wired conection that would be good, but due to location would be hard. I did think upgrading was ment to make things better not harder. Please Help.

To add, I had on online chat with BT, they said that no problems exist about XBOX 360 and the BT Home Hub to do with wifi.
If this is the case why have a fix on the BT site, that does not work may I add well not on my XBOX.
I found BT online chat not much help in this case.
Please advise and help

Huawei E1762 USB Broadband connectivity issue in macbook pro 13" 2011:

The Dongle is giving issues with Mac book Pro 13" Feb 2011. This is my first Mac and so i dont have idea if the same problem existed for other macbook pros. The speed drops to zero and sometimes it gets disconnected automatically. I also tried using the Mobile partner dashboard for the huawei E 1762 but it doesnt help.
Is anyone facing the same problem? Please help as i have to travel a lot and using USB broadband is the only option.

I have read some of the dongle firmware need to be upgrade, check with your ISP.
Im using a E1550 3g dongle which after I have updated my MBP to 10.6.7, it didnt work at all. Called my ISP, use Vodafone program instead of Mobile partner, and it works great now.
Hope this is helpful.

USB KVM connectivity issues ?

Hi all -
I'm currently running with a Windows PC and a Blue&White G3 tower @ work. I'm looking to replace the G3 with a mini, however I have a question that I'm looking for feedback on before 'moving up'.
Today, I use a USB KVM to switch between my 2 computers. When I switch from PC to Mac the keyboard & mouse are often not picked up by the G3. This is not an issue when switching from Mac to PC (or PC to PC). Mac OS is 10.4.4.
Monitor picks up fine on the switch, just an issue with the keyboard & mouse (mouse is plugged into the keyboard).
Has anyone seen this sort of oddness on the Mac Mini? If so then the 'dual scenario' becomes very annoying. If this is not common behavior then hooray.
Note - I've read a few odd things about USB keyboards and the Blue&White G3 tower ( can't find the old post on this since Apple re-designed the support page ), so I'm hoping that this is the root cause, and not something odd in Tiger's USB driver.

Good to know. I'm using the same keyboard & mouse setup, although my KVM is not Belkin (but since my KVM works flawlessly on other systems I'm assuming this is not the issue).
Again, thanks - really appreciate the feedback

Mount USB Ext drive that is connected to Airport Ext base sta via usb hub

My Lacie drive disappeared from the desktop after downloading a recent Mac software update. It is connected to my compter wirelessly via a usb hub connected to AirportExtreme Base Station. The only way to get it back on the desk top is to connect it directly to either th Airport base station or the laptop without going through the hub. I've tried different hubs and none works. However, all of the support the printer wirelessly. Is there another usb drive out there that works? I'm ready to dump the Lacie.

Make sure your lacie firmware is up to date as well....I dont know which drive you have but you can visit http://www.lacie.com/us/support/drivers/index.htm?id=10007 to see what the latest firmware downloads are for your drive. I have an Ethernet Disk mini v2 (Gigabit) and firmware update solved access issues.

Airport Extreme will not auto connect after poewr out with USB Hub!

Hi all,
I have just purchased the Airport Extreme and have it connected to my ADSL router. All works fine but if the airport looses power (as the household power went off momentarily today) then once it powers back up it will not connect to the internet unless I unplug the USB hub connected to it first.
Anyone with similar experiences?

No
Your issue may have something to do with your ADSL router and/or ISP carrier when you have power interruption.
I would contact Apple to take advantage of your free 90 days of tech support by phone since your product is "new." Let them tell you what the problem is.
There are 2 Airport Extreme forums - http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=140

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.

Can I connect USB hubs instead of printer or external disk?

I plan to get a MacBook Pro and set up a wireless network. I currently have a couple of USB hubs connected to a PC. To these hubs are connected three printers, two external disks, and several other things. I want to be able to get rid of the PC and access these devices from the MacBook wirelessly. Is the AESB the right thing to use for this setup?
The MacBook Pro will have Snow Leopard as OS.

Hello granitewall. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!

Most likely yes. The 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station's (AEBSn) USB port is capable of supporting a USB hub with multiple USB printers and/or USB hard drives.

Mega PC issue with usb hub

I have an MSI Mega PC with the following config:
2.66GHz P4 533Mhz FSB CPU
2x512MB PC2700 DDR
160GB Maxtor 7200RPM IDE Drive
ATI Radeon 7500 All-In-Wonder
TDK 440N DVD±R/RW drive
Windows XP Pro SP1a
I have a ton of USB peripherals
Linksys USB Wirless Ethernet
ATI Wireless Receiver
Western Digital 80GB External Drive
Epson Scanner
Epson Printer
Veo Webcam
Canon S400 Digital Camera hookup
To support the additional peripherals, I added a powered USB 2.0 hub to the rear of the system. This worked for a week but then the card readers in the front no longer were recognized by the system. Also the boot up into Windows would take 3-4 minutes where it used to take less than 30 seconds. Under the Device manager, one of the USB controllers has a yellow exclamation mark that I could not get rid of.
I can alleviate these problems if I hook up the hub to one of the front usb ports instead of the back. This is ok though I would rather have the usb hub connected to the back for aesthetic reasons. Anybody know why there would be a problem hooking a usb hub to the back?

The most likely problem is the cable or USB connector. First, try another USB port, preferably in the back of your PC, and not on an external hub. Next get another cable.
