USB issues

All usb ports is not working, I reset the bios and now it comes up and says that I need to press ESC to set up the bios, but also shows that there is an keyboard error. I try the keyboard on different computer and its working fine. It also state that I should press ESC to setup bios how can one do that if the usb port is still not working.

i can hook up my thumb drive to my usb port and it works. if i hook up my external hard drive it does work. can someone help me out with this? im using L35-S1054.
Do you mean to say that the external hard drive does not work? If so, it is likely because the USB port is not supplying sufficient power to operate the drive. Either use an external AC adapter with the hard drive, or possibly a special cable to connect a second USB port to the power input on the drive enclosure.

Driver update for Win 7 USB issue on nVidia chipset systems now available

This patch is needed for the TouchSmart 600 AIO Desktop series if you haven't installed it.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Lockups-Freezes-Hangs/Driver-update-for-Win7-USB-issue-on-nVidia-chipse...

The update is not part of the desktop Win7 update disc from MS or HP - Microsoft has not yet integrated it into Win7, and it is not yet available on Windows Update (it is likely to hit there sometime in January). It was available too late to get it out on HP Update before the holiday break. I don't believe there have been any rolls to the Win7 upgrade disks. I do recommend (while still on Vista) running HP Update and installing all applicable updates - PRIOR to doing the Win7 upgrade. Also - I'd double check the drivers page for your system for any Vista updates as well, best to do any driver/BIOS/Video BIOS updates prior to the Win7 upgrade process. I know that some of them were created before Windows 7 was out - and may not want to install if it sees the newer OS.
As to the fix - this could manifest itself in many ways - but essentially - this resolves system flakyness with USB devices attached . Some internal devices (card readers, touchscreens, some Wireless LAN interfaces) connect via USB - so they could be affected, even if you haven't hooked up anything to your system externally.
Not sure just what problems you were experiencing, so can't say this was the cause (and will be the fix) - but if it applies to your system - I'd definitely give it a shot. I checked a couple of systems that had this update - I see it now on the software drivers and update page for them, so it looks like it rolled out OK.
Happy Holidays...

24" iMac USB issue

Recently my 4-yr-old 24" iMac has been having USB issues. The only peripherals it will see are the mouse and keyboard (and a printer if it is plugged into the keyboard). Nothing else plugged into the USB ports is recognized - no iPhone, no printer, no hub, nothing. The built-in iSight camera and Bluetooth have also disappeared, and I know they are USB related as well. Genius bar says $450 for new logicboard. I can't find my AHT disk
The USB ports all seem to work with the mouse and keyboard. Any other suggestions? (I have reset PMU.)

Try resetting the SMC, if it doesn't work the first time do it 2-3x. Also try doing a PRAM reset.
_SMC RESET_
• Shut down the computer.
• Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
• Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
• Release the power button.
• Attach the computers power cable.
• Press the power button to turn on the computer.
_PRAM RESET_
• Shut down the computer.
• Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
• Turn on the computer.
• Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
• Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
• Release the keys.

Usb issues on a215

i downloaded the BIOS update to fix the screen going black issue, but now i'm having horrible USB issues.
1. a drive i've used for 3 years can't be recognized by the laptop, no matter what port i put it into.
2. i keep getting that "connection tone" noise as if things are being plugged and unplugged, but i'm not doing anything.
is there an update for this problem? i must admit i've had usb issues w/this laptop forever.

Hi,
So, I suggest you if you have something attached to your USB Ports, then remove it and try to boot your machine up. Remove EVERY
This should help you out.
If you got no success, then try following:
1. Remove your battery and remove AC.
2. Remove EVERTHING attached to your USB ports
3. Put the battery in the machine back and connect AC
4. Try to boot, it would be better to boot in safe mode (accessible through pressing F8 before windows is booting up)
In case of no success, give some feedback, maybe I or other users can give you then more hints.

Macbook Pro USB issue

Hi All;
I saw lots of discussions about USB problem of Macbook Pro, and i tried maybe all suggestions, i couldnt solve USB issue
I bought my Macbook Pro 13 inc, 500 GB, i5, OS X Lion, 2 days ago and this is my first Mac ...
I cant see my external disk (Philips), Samsung Galaxy S by using USB ports (i tried both USB enterances, but not working).
I checked my Hardware by Apple Hardware Test (extended test done) and it says 'No trouble found'
I checked Utilities and USB devices are not written in the list, only 500 GB SATA disk shown.
I uploaded MacFuse-Tuxera and ntfs-3g-2010 softwares for using USB devices but i cant solve the problem too...
My USB devices are not shown in desktop and utilities lists
How can i solve this problem, my devices work in Windows 7 - PC as usual, but in Macbook Pro, they dont work, please support me. I dont think that it can be hardware problem, Mac is new and devices are ok. Operating systems are different only.
Thanks, Regards.

I solved the problem about Samsung Galaxy S, now i can connect it by changing settings of GALAXY S.
Settings>Applications>Development
Than i plug phone to MAC and now i can see my phone on desktop
I checked my PHILIPS external disk, unfortunatelly it is produced for only Windows operating systems, so i cant use it anymore
My MAC has no USB problem, i can use my 3G USB device too, only Philips external disk failed.
Thanks for your support...

Mac Pro USB issue

I have a weird situation. I have a Mac Pro 8 core 3.0Ghz with 13GB RAM, 4 SATA internal drives, 2 USB external 500 Western Digital Drives. I use bay one of the sata for OSX Tiger and Bay 2 for OSX Leopard (both purchased versions). The problem is when I'm in Tiger the USB drives have a through put of about 3MB and when booted in Leopard they have a through put of about 24MB. I can only guess that it's a driver problem, but I haven't been able to find anything about the fix. I did find that the WD USB Drives have a problem with speed. These WD drives are USB and SATA. When using them as SATA drives they work fine on both versions of OSX. The problem is I need the SATA connections for other drives and just want to use the WD drives as backup. Has anyone got any ideas why the drives perform normally under Leopard and not under Tiger?

Hi southwos,
That certainly is a strange one...
I have heard of several USB issues pertaining to tiger updates, noteably, 10.4.11. It would seem some USB drivers were updated to fix several bugs, but inadvertantly, caused others. The solution it seems, is to rollback to 10.4.9.
The symptoms of this 'unexpected feature' (sic) are that some USB devices seem to operate at USB1.1 speeds.
This only affects a small number of devices, and its the chipsets in said devices that have the conflict.
Certainly hope i have been of help
Cheers
Bryza

Lion = lackluster, USB issues

I'm very disappointed in Lion. With the exception of a few new features, it's useless and I'm shocked that Apple would publish a product like this. I've wasted $30. I never thought I would say anything like that about an Apple product. Up until now, I've never had any issues with any of the OS's.
Ever since I installed Lion, I've had USB issues. I plug something in and it doesn't work. Specifically, my iPhone, my flash drive and my USB 2.0 card reader. This is all equipment that worked flawlessly prior to the installation.
I've tried all the remedies: restart, plug and unplug the devices, tested the hub, plug and unplug from the iMac itself. Any suggestions?

I haven't heard that reported as a bug in Lion.
Have you tried an SMC reset?
Reset PRAM first.

P45 Platinum USB issues on XP 64 Pro

My mouse (Logitech MX518) works only when plugged into one of the USB ports on my motherbeoad. Any other port and it tries to detect new software - runs through the installation and I get a fatal error message - and the mouse does not work at all. I can't get the Logitech Setpoint software to install either - when installing the drivers I get an error message. I spent 2 1/2 hours on the phone with Logitech and they think it's a USB / Intel control issue. I had a SM Bus controller error in device manager and I used the "INF Update Utility - Primarily for Intel® 4, 3, 900 Series Chipsets (2455KB)" which solved the SM Bus controller issue. but I'm not sure that was the correct piece of software to use as the motherbeoad says its a P45 chipset. The USB issue has existed since I powered up the machine yesterday - the Intel software installation did not impact the problem either way. the MSI CD is useless as it doesn't seem to have any 64 bit drivers. I've downloaded all from MSI that I can find and got the audio and LAN working but I still get the occasional blue screen for really no reason, just surfing the web and bam - blue screen. am I missing something ciritcal for the installation? any thoughts are appreciated on the best way to set up this 64 bit system.

I'll look up the BIOS in a second
BIOS is A7512IMS V1.0 052108
I also made the change so it won't restart automatically if I get a blue screen. And BIOS has USB Enabled. (I'm catching up!)
Alright, now I'm trying to make a bootable CD to update my BIOS.
Update: Got the USB drive BIOS to function per the MSI Forum Flash Tool, but I get an error message - Error File ROM ID incorrect - and the BIOS doesn't update. Still listed as V1.0 and should be V1.7. My P45 isn't listed as supported for Sure Hands, so I haven't tried that. Don't know if that ROM error is the reason my BIOS isn't updating or not. I cleared the CMOS, etc. Not sure why it isn't working.
You have pickup the wrong BIOS file. Latest BIOS for your board is 1.5 ==> http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1479
1.7 doesn't exist.

MBP Kernel Panic - USB issue?

Hi,
We have a MBP mid-2009 model that seems to be undergoing frequent kernel panics, and all the logs show a similar type of report. Can anyone diagnose the following? I think it may be a USB issue.

Under the keyboard, hey? So you have a Titanium Powerbook. You should update your profile to include the model and CPU size of your Powerbook to help get more accurate assistance. Crucial is a reputable brand of RAM. They also offer a lifetime warranty.
The clips: I used to have a Titanium Powerbook, but it was a few years ago. If MY memory serves me right the clips move to the outside of the RAM modules. Due to the heat and never being removed they may have semi-welded themselves into position. One trick would be to heat the computer up and try to remove them while it is warm/hot. Just plug it in and run some CPU intensive apps for a while, then turn it off, remove the battery, ground the computer and give them another try. Grounding (earthing) the computer to remove static is not difficult. After you have removed the battery just touch the metal case and grab a metal window or door frame. That will ground any static in the machine. Also, if you are working on carpet take your shoes and socks off to avoid more static build up. You could even go as far to stand on a rubber bathroom mat while working on the computer, but replacing RAM should only take a few minutes. If you still have difficulties getting the RAM stick out go to a site called The Powerbook Medic and look for tips on removing sticks from a Titanium.
Hope the new RAM stops the panics.

FIX for USB issue where Files get corupted after I sucsessfully transfer to N

MP3 Player: Muvo N200 GB
Firmware: Creative MuVo Micro N200 Audible Firmware Upgrade .2.0
OS: Windows 2000 pro
Machine: Ibm Thinkpad
PROBLEM:
drag a folder of MP3's to the N200 in the Windows Explorer
2 wait for the zig zag line on the MP3 player to go straight.
3 Stop the Muvo mass stoarge device
4 Unplug the USB from the computer
5 Turn the Muvo N200 on
6 Folder has vanished
7 Plug Muvo back into computer
8 Folder is there, all files are missing
Also .. if I plug the Muvo in right after I coppied the files (after step 4) the files exist. I dragged them to the desktop, compared them to the originals with a binary compare and they are identical ... just to see if the files got corrupted.
It seems that when I turn the Muvo on, the files get deleted.
I then installed the N200 Media Explorer with drivers .. didn't help at all.
I tried this on a different machine, exact same files, and it works fine. Same OS, no Media Explorer.
Also, this is my second N200. Sent the other one back after talking with support. Got an error at the end of a format. When I tried to install the .2 firmware, I could no longer turn the player on (didn't try recover). I'm sure this N200 will do the same on my thinkpad. I installed the firmware on the other machine (fool me once ....)
EDIT: Further testing showed that this is a problem with my thinkpad. The N200 works fine as a thumb dri've on every other machine I tried. I tried using another thumb dri've on my Thinkpad and it failed in the same way. Also tried a Muvo NX .. just for kicks and it didn't work either.
FUnny thing is that I can copy a file to the N200, read it back right away .. compare them and they are identical. ONce I remove the dri've, and plug it back in, the file is corrupted.

:smileyvery-happy:My N200 now works on my thinkpad, and I just have to report on what I did to fix it .. just in case this helps anyone however indirectly.
In the device manager, I changed all Host controllers from
Intel 8280CA/CAM USB Uni'veral Host Controller
to
Strandard Uni'versal PCI to USB Host Controller
And now My USB not only works on my N200, it also fixed an issue with my USB scanner.
HOW TO DO THIS:
Right Click on the My Computer ICON
select MANAGE
select Device Manager in the left hand column
expand Uni'versal Serial Bus Controller in right hand column
Click on Intel 8280CA/CAM USB Uni'veral Host Controller and
Select Driver Tab and select Update Driver
Next ... select radio button that says Display a list of Known.....
then select Standard...
do this for all Host controllers.
Good luck ... I've been through everything if you want to send me a message.

Yoga 2 Pro touch screen no longer working & intermittent USB issues

Hey.
Got the Yoga 2 Pro 2 weeks ago. The touchscreen does not work at all today. I've reset/shutdown many times.
Here are the issues I have had in order of occurrence:
- webcam intermittently not coming up during verifice login on resume from sleep (probably ~ 10 times)
- touchscreen went mental, registering hundreds of touches per second all over the screen. Sleeping and waking stopped the mayhem. This happened JUST after plugging in a USB flash drive (which I have used before successfully).
- touchscreen does not work at all. Last night I had my phone plugged in to the laptop for a couple of hours. Touchscreen worked fine I unplugged the phone, but this morning on wake it is not responding at all no matter how many reboots I do.
The first two issues on their own I probably would have ignored, and this ccurrent issue I could imagine being some driver thing. But I worry that the two of them together imply some sort of big USB fault.
I'm not sure what the touchscreen is meant to come up as in device manager, but I've inluded a screenshot below.
Pretty desparate right now. I'm hoping this isn't a hardware fault because I need this laptop for work =$
Anyway, any advice/idas would be greatly appreciated.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

As an update for anyone else experiencing this problem...
I left the laptop charging, put it to sleep, and went away for an hour or so.
I just came back and woke it from sleep. The battery is now at 92%. The touchscreen now works fine.
Checking device manager, there are now additional devices listed under "Human Interface Devices". See attached screenshot.
Although it is now working, this and the other issues have been super annoying and I'd like to know if anyone else has anything similar happen, or if there are any fixes.

USB Issue - Not recognizing ANY device

I am having a problem with my USB ports.
First of all, I have a IBM Thinkpad T42 - model number 2373-9XU.
I have the latest BIOS and all the latest drivers for the USB ports.
The issue just started a couple days ago. Whenever I plug in a USB device, such as my IPod or my Smartphone, it is NOT recognized by my computer. However, any device that I plug into the USB port will start charging. So, I know there is power to the USB ports.
I have uninstalled the USB drivers and reinstalled them, still having the same issue.
Also another note, I was looking through the device manager under System Devices and there was a yellow exclamation point next to "ISAPNP Read Data Port". The error code on it was "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
Any suggestions?
PS. I have tried to reinstall the BIOS, but when I do that it says "No update is needed at this time" and won't let me install it. Is there a workaround to that?

So, I looked at the Services information on the Recover and Restore startup utility (pushing the AccessIBM button during startup) and found the following:
Service: upnphost
Name: Universal Plug and Play Device Host
Status: Stopped
(Previous Status: Running)
Startup: Manual/On-Demand)
Path: c:\windows\system32\svchost.exe
Vendor: Microsoft Corporation
Version: 5.1.2600.2180
(xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)
Could this also have something to do with the USB ports not working properly?

User Tip: MBPr + USB issue and how to recover hard drives.

I did want to share this in case someone runs into this problem:
Since I bought this MPBr in June it has "destroyed" my external USB drives on at least 7 ocassions. By "destroyed" I mean this: Either during a "Wake up failure" or ususally after reboot the drives suddenly were not "recognized" and I would get that dreaded "Initialize, Eject or Ignore" screen we all fear. When it happened and I tried all the standard repair tools (TechTool Pro, Disk Warrior, Data Rescue, etc) most often I ended up wiping the drives since they didn't hold much data, the important stuff safely away inside firewire drives not connected to the MPRr.
That was until last week.
A fact checklist:
All the drives were from different makers and different ages (some brand new, some 1-2 years old). Made no difference.
The drives were both powered and unpowered. Made no difference.
The "destruction" would happen either when the computer went to sleep or simply when trying to use a USB hub.
I tried 5 different USB hub models. All of them did the same thing.
To avoid issues, I was reduced to NOT using USB hubs (or even trying) and unplugging EVERYTHING at the end of the day.
An assistant who was not aware of these problems made the horrible mistake of getting a USB hub and pluging these drives which now held VERY IMPORTANT information, some backed up, some which it had not been backed up yet. Almost INSTANTLY all the drives went bad: Unrecognized. Now, I really couldn't get mad at her because - let's be honest- using a USB hub is not "up there" in the scale of "dangeorus activities" in the computing the world, but it left me 3 dead large size USB drives..And they all had the same problem:
When plugged in, the system would simply not recognize them.
Pluging them into an older mac or another mac had the same response.
In a few occassions the drives would actually appear briefly and disappear again. We are talking seconds here.
NONE of the repair tools could fix them: TechTool Pro, Disk Warrior and fdsk were helpless.
Data Rescue could actually see the partitions greyed out but could not access them
After some digging around it seems whatever is happening with MBPr's USB/Mac OSX/Firmaware is destroying the PARTITION TABLES of USB drives. The data is still there, the system simply cannot access it.
Eventually I came up with the solution which involves recovering the partition tables via Terminal using an open source program TestDisk. The name of "Stellar Phoenix Recovery" software also popped into from time to time (which I do remember from the old days), but I could not find an actual example of a succesful recovery.
What you will need:
This program runs in the Terminal with a very basic interface that uses arrow keys, enter and a few letters. That said, if you have never used Terminal or are not familiar with the terminology I suggest you find someone who does.
Get the software here: TestDisk - http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk If everything goes well, this will be the one time you will truly be motivated to donate some cash. The euphory alone will do it. I know it for me, that's for sure.
For my recovery I followed this step-by-step tutorial by Perro Hunter, but BE AWARE that it was written at an earlier date as apparently some of the features that the tutorial mentions as "not working yet" are now.
http://perrohunter.com/repair-a-mac-os-x-hfs-partition-table/
In my case I did not need to go past step 7, which is good because the warning it gives is pretty bone-chilling. In my case the software was able to write the recovered partition tables by itself and then when I restarted....the drives were there. DO NOT IGNORE THE BACK UP AND LOG INSTRUCTIONS. EVER.
Keep in mind that my drives were formatted as Mac OS X HFS+ / GUID partitions. I have no idea how it will work with other types of formatting. The process itself is very fast. if IN DOUBT, just quit terminal and start over (I did twice until I finally figure out what I was doing). Also, take screen shots as you move along the steps it helps.
Needless to say, after recovery use Disk Utility, Disk Warrior or TechTool Pro to get the drives back in shape, and if possible, back up everything and wipe them clean which is what I did just to be sure.
I hope that helps somebody and good luck to you in the process.

Intel Mac Mini Core Duo Midi USB Issues

Is anyone else having issues getting Midi devices to work with the Intel Mac Mini's? I have several Midi devices that are't working correctly event though I have installed the newest drivers.
Currently I am having issues with a M-Audio Midisport 2x2 USB adapter. I loaded the newest drivers (ver 3.2.2) which are supposed to be universal binary to support the Intel Macs. When I connect the Midisport 2x2 to the Mac Mini I can not get it to receive Midi Output from the Mac.
When I look in the Midi control pannel I can see that the Midisport has been installed, but all options to select it are greyed out. Also when I try to select it as the input or output there is NO option to select the Midisport from the pull down menu. It only shows the "Built-in Midi" as and option.
The Midisport works fine on other non-Intel Macs. Please advise.
Thanks!
Mac Mini Intel Duo Core 1.66Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.7)

It seems like the mini is doing alright so far. I think maybe the full erase solved whatever issue it was having. I also got my Core Duo Mini yesterday in the mail and it's performing like a champ. Definitely a nice machine.
I'll close my question for now, since the Core Solo Mini seems alright. But, as a warning don't get on Front Row's bad side. I tried force quitting it because it was taking too long to load the videos folder and then tried shutting down from a terminal and ended up having to turn the machine off.

USB Issue in KT4V MS-6712 Bios 1.8

Upon updating my bios from 1.1 to 1.8, I have noticed the strangest issue that I have been unable to resolve. The system simply refuses to keep the usb ports powered unless there is a keyboard plugged into the ps/2 keyboard port, which is strange and troubling considering I use a USB MS Natural Keyboard Pro.
I have checked all the usb options in the bios, sequentially enabled and disabled usb legacy support, etc, all to no avail.
And yes, I have perused the troubleshooting threads and still have yet to find a solution to this problem. Any input would be most appreciated.

Hi,
I'm asking MSI but I need more info.
May I know which USB ports you are plugging into? The back I/O ports beside the PS/2 ports? or the front ports or by the D-Bracket2 ports?
Please try all these possible ports see which one down and which one up. Thanks for your attempt.

T410 (2522-CTO) - USB issues

Hi, when new my TP had none of the following problems. How do I determine if this is Software or hardware issue ? Then how do I correct it?
Running Win 7 Home Premium SP1
1)plug card reader into usb , plug in SD card. Recognises the devices but when you try to read the contents of the card it takes forever to enumerate the directory contents. When it finally achieves this, trying to open one of the files takes 10's of minutes or a copy operation. The light on the device goes out for minutes then turns on again etc. It is not usable.
2)plug in ipad. Again after several minutes itunes starts but indicates there is no ipad connected. Windows recognises it and I can read and view some of the pictures but that is all. It appears to go through a process of connecting, dropping, reconnecting etc as the explorer pop-up, asking if you want to open file manager or view the picutes etc, opens multiple copies of the dialog and ipad beeps each time (ie indicating it is connected.)
Other USB devices work fine eg memory stick.
I followed the apple article that recommends reinstall of device drivers and of USB drivers. I have tried this to no effect.
Greatly appreciate some advice

hey crash486,
try uninstalling the device drivers and usb drivers. let windows install its own generic drivers.
at the same time, update the bios of yours. currently the t410 runs on version 1.38 .
