USB hub weirdness both after upgrade to 10.5.2 and again after iTunes crash

I have a powered 7-port combined hi and low speed USB 2.0 hub from Trust, with all kinds of things attached. I plug it into to my MacBook (late 2007) whenever it's on my desk.
Attached are a copyright protection device from Steinberg, a mouse, a printer, a harddrive, and iPod nano and an audio interface.
To my own surprise, all this has worked very nicely for months. Even recording audio went pretty well, although sometimes I had to plug in the audio interface directly to avoid latency. Timemachine worked flawlessly, doing it's job every time as soon as I plugged in the USB cable.
But not after I updated Leopard from 10.5.1 to 10.5.2.
The first thing that happened was my harddrive not being visible anymore, unless I plugged it in directly. I thought this was done on Apple's purpose, in order to create no false sense of reliability, and paid no extra attention to it.
But two days ago, after giving a second sync command in iTunes while the iPod was already syncing, iTunes got stuck.
Since then, I get the message that the iPod works better if I plug it into a Hi-Speed USB interface. Which it indeed does if I plug it directly into my MacBook.
Now, however I configure everything, start things up, power and unpower things, a look on my system profile reveals that Mac OS thinks that the hub is low-speed only.
Strangely, this is also true for my wife's MacBook, which runs Tiger, while my PC at work, which runs Windows XP, still sees it as a high speed device.
Another maybe even stranger thing is that now, my external harddrive is being recognized again by Leopard 10.5.2.
So these are the implications:
Looking at it's behavior with Windows XP, it appears that the hub can still be recognized as a high speed device. This suggests that it's not broken.
Then, looking at it's current behavior with my wife's Tiger MacBook, it must never have worked in high speed under Tiger, either
Also, both it's high speed and device recognition capabilities have changed between Mac OS X 10.5.1 and 10.5.2
Also, a bug in iTunes or iPod has change that again.
Can anyone confirm any of these implications, or tell what's going on and what I should do?

Hi Drgeert-
The hub may not be broken per se, but Apple has made adjustments to the limits on current that can be drawn from ports.
You probably need a new hub.

  • Reinstalled Adobe Acrobat XI Pro after upgrading to windows 8.1 and now cannot scan

    Reinstalled Adobe Acrobat XI Pro after upgrading to windows 8.1 and now cannot scan through Adobe, although Scanner says its combatible with Windows 8. Cannot reinstall drivers because Brother claims they're built-in. Help!

    Anubha Goel
    I am using a Brother MFC 8460N and on Brother's site it says its compatible with win 8.1 and that the driver is already installed. When I try to scan I am told there is no preset (there was with win 7 though) and I have to "custom scan." When I try that, I hear a sound as if the printer is trying to scan, but the feeder can't pull the paper through. I then get a blank .pdf as my scan. Thanks for your advice. I will try that.

    Tap on any give date in the monthly view and you will be taken a list of event, the default position being the date you tapped.
    The icon just to the left of the search icon provides a master list view of events.

  • After upgrading my iphone 5 to IOS 7, the iTunes Store won't open. Is there a fix for this?

    After upgrading my iphone 5 to IOS 7, the iTunes Store won't open. Is there a fix for this?

    I had the same thing yesterday. After google gave me nothing and after I was sure my phone had enough charge to restart, I did a reset on my phone...
    Holding down the Power button, volume button and selector button on the front - for about 30 secs (or untill I knew the beeping had stopped).
    I cant remember if I then restarted it or it it restarted itself, but now its back to normal! No memory loss from the phone either.
    Freeked me out as its a new iphone 4s but glad to have it back! Without having to take it to get fixed by a pro.
    Hope that helps

  • I have an iphone 4 and i have upgraded to ios 5. but after upgrading all my apps disappeared and in the summary tab in itunes it jus shows as other data..! please help

    i have an iphone 4 and i have upgraded to ios 5. but after upgrading all my apps disappeared and in the summary tab in itunes it jus shows as other data..! please help

    When I went to reload my phone it gave the option of restoring with icloud or itunes so i chose itunes (assuming icloud would have many more bugs). Afterwards, I had no music and 6.6g of other.
    What I did was go into itunes, clicked my iphone 4, and clicked on each of the top tabs (summery, info, apps, ringtones, music, etc.) and ensured I had them all clicked onto sync/selected playlist etc.As my phone restored, the 6.6g of other dropped to .99g of other.
    Unfortunately, all my songs are gone but everything else seems to be in tact. I don't think there is any way around this issue for now with the new ios 5 update when syncing either an ipad or iphone. I have an ipad 2 but am going to hold off on updating it until apple gets the bugs sorted out because, I'm sure you will agree, getting the music back to where you want it to be is a total nightmare and takes ages to not only pick the right songs and artists to put on it, but also the ones that will fit correctly with the space, depending on the size you have. 
    I hope that helps.

    If you know where the app is (in a folder, for example), go to that folder and find the app there.
    Maybe you tried holding the app down in the search screen.  I didn't say clearly you have to go to the app eherever it is, but not in the search screen.

    The most efficacious way to get your music and other personal data onto your new Mac is to restore it from the backup you made of your old computer. Once that is done you can re-enable iTM on the new Mac and your iPhone.

    As I said, there have been reports on there of problems for some people using 2008, as you have experienced with particular components of the suite.
    Best solution would be an upgrade to 2011...I have had no issues at all using 2011 with Mac OS X 10.7.4.

    Hi ,

    hi saddamali111,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    Can you proceed with the following Steps.
       Remove the AC adapter and the battery then hold Down the power button for 10sec.
    Reconnect the AC and the battery, and turn on the system together with tapping the F2 key.
    You should arrive in a BIOS setup page, Hit F9 to load default then press Enter, Now hit F10 to Save and Exit then enter again to confirm.
    See if the issue will be same.
    If it does, Try hitting F8 When you Power on the system See if it will give you option to load safemode.
    also Check if the system will still restart when you turn it on using the NOVO button.
    Let me know your findings,
    Please share your OS type and version
    Regards

  • IPod touch 4,1 bricked after upgrading to iOS 6.0 and then 6.0.1.

    Hi all
    I have an iPod touch 4th generation, 8GB. The other week I installed the new iOS 6.0 software update, from 5.1.1. after installing and rebooting the iPod just when black, I have assumed that it's been bricked, but how? It just stays black, sometimes it'll reboot, but then go black again, sometimes it'll do the infinite loop of death! Then I force it into Recovery mode, clicked Restore and after iTunes extracing the IPSW, it came back with error -1 ????? So I put it into DFU mode, then iTunes showed that iOS 6.0.1 was released. iTunes downloaded it, i put it into DFU mode and then restore to the new 6.0.1, and then everything goes well, untill it does the same as before, when I upgraded to 6.0?
    I know I can't downgrade back to 5.1.1, Apple had stopped signing old ipsws, but I do however have my previously saved SHSH blobs, I can patch them onto my 5.1.1 ipsw, but I don't know weather that's illegal or not. SO, basically, my iPod is unusable.
    Troubleshooting - what I've done:
    -I've deleted the 6.0 and 6.0.1 and being promted to download them again in iTunes, still didn't work
    -I've tried reinstalling iTunes, current version 10.7, I run weekly Apple Software updates to get the lastest
    -I've tried using different USB cords, Apple 30-pin connector cords, don't know if that was necessary
    What Haven't done:
    -Never Jailbroken this iPod
    -Never moderated, read, write or execute any iPod software or any of the Raw system files
    My iPod was just fine before all this crap happened, I depend on it for everything, although the Capacity isin't great, and the RAM is just ****, please someone help :'(
