USB PORTS DISABLED AND WONT WORK FOR ANYTHING

MacBook Pro OS X (10.6.8)
the other day i had plug in a remote helicopter to our computer and came back and same the error message:
"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 also have been disabled. When you disconnect the device drawing too much power, your other USB devices will be enabled again"
First I unplugged the helicopter and tried plugging in my phone to charge....NOTHING! so i unplugged it and tried my ipod....NOTHING! maybe the cord? so i switched cords nope same stupid ****. I reset the computer (even doing a SMC reset). nothing works! Nothing shows up in Disk Utility when plugged in either. I've looked for videos, other forum, blogs, articles, plus i can't even use Apple Tech support over the phone cause my plan has expired and Apple loves charge so much for something they could fix real fast!
please help me i'm still trying everything as we speak!
Mike

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Ignore the reset and when it says plae the iPod in Recovery mode
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
or

If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
and
RecBoot tip
RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:
Tenorshare ReiBoot – Enter & Exit iPhone, iPad, iPod Recovery Mode with a Single Click
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
Installs blootware on PC too
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Imac usb ports disabled and nothing is connected

iMac 27inch Late 2007 USB Ports Disabled Again!
Has happened before and took forever to fix it. Nothing specific fixed it last time and nothing I know was the direct cause. Each time different OS, different location, different year, different cables etc etc.
Now, reset everything, moved everything, changed everything - still nothing. No USB ports work. iMac still has pop up "USB devices disabled..."
Taking into Apple unless someone can tell me what 10 pages of google hasn't - what a bloody stress and waste of time!

Hi Auracles1,
Here's a pretty discussion regarding wireless printing with this device and a Mac.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-networking-and-wireless/HP-Officejet-6500-E 709n-wireless-issue/m-p/258853
I have a similar OfficeJet and it was a multi-step process. (1) Install printer drivers on the machine, (2) Add the printer queue in print & fax, (3) Run the "setup wizard" from the disc for wireless printing.

I have three ipods, none of which is being recognized by my itunes. I have the current editions and tried different USB ports. The mouse works just fine in the USB port. I have reset the ipods. Any ideas if it's the USB or the ipod or what's going on?

I have three ipods, none of which are being recognized by my itunes. I have reset each ipod, with no results. I wonder if the problem isn't with the USB ports. The mouse works fine in each port; nothing happens when I plug in the ipods. I have tried two different USB cables. I have no other USB devices with which to test. I have made sure I have the most recent updates and rebooted the computer. Any idea what is going on?

Looks like blame is incorrectly placed. Turns out my iSCSI connector is struggling with Mavericks. When I placed the iTunes library on a local drive, everything came back to normal.

Greetings Socs4bill,
It seems your iPod has been exposed to liquid and is not operating properly. Based on the information you have provided, it appears your iPod needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

I was told to hold down the off button at the top of the handset at the same time as holding down the round menu button at the bottom of the handset for 20 seconds - the phone went off, then restarted and it all seems OK now.
Def something with the ios 6.1.2 upgrade :-((

They are not a supported carrier. You'll have to take it up with them.

Ok, what you have here is a basic 'blown fuse' problem.
With the iPhone 3G and 3GS if you drop them in water and they stop working you can almost always revive the phone simply by oepning them up, finding the corrosion on the motherboard then cleaning it and putting it back together.
With the iPhone 4 (and 4S) it's a different story though in that water damage causes a fuse on the motherboard to blow. Once blown, the phones can no longer receive power from the battery. They can however receive power from a wall charger, which is why your phone runs whilst plugged into a charger but dies as soon as it's disconnected. Trying to run it from a USB port wont work either as the 5V power supply gets interupted whilst the phone is booting, as such it dies part way through booting, and the cycle repeats.
At this stage you have 3 options:
-have the phone replaced by Apple, or
-replace the damaged fuse on the iPhone motherboard yourself, or
-send the phone to a company to have the fuse repaired
There is a company that sells the replacement components, and they have an installation sevice too. I've fixed a couple of iPhones in my day, and unless you are very proficent with a soldering iron I strongly recommend having the repair done for you.
See the link below:

Sorry it's not good news, but at least you know what's going on with the phone now and can weigh up your options.

Why is my ipad and itunes working for everything on the stores, but the search doesnt work on them? Any ideas what i can do to help it?

My ipad and iphone wont search for anything on the app store or itunes store, after a minute of loading it says 'server has timed out' in the blue box. But the weird thing is all the other features on the stores work, and do not crash. How could i fix this?

try this
I seperated each step and changed it abit for ya that i found that maybe useful for you bc it sounds like the same "Wireless Weirdness" that this person had the same problem.

1. Restart the computer and wait to see if the network is discovered before entering it manually.
2. Power off on the modem and router and restarted computer
3. If no network selected, do the diagnostics
4. Enter the SSID & PSWD
5. If asked for DHCP or PPo, chose DHCP
6. If asked for cable, say no bc u use wireless
after that, it should work for ya

Did you place the iPod in recovery mode? That is required for a disabled iPod
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Ok mate no need to talk to me like im a complete idiot, and no it is not on silent im not that stupid. There is a message pop up on my screen saying 'this accessory is not optimized for this iPhone' and underneith 'you may experience noise caused by cellular interference and a decrease in cellular signal strength' and under that only one option to press which says dismiss. I cant find anything in my settings or applications and have tried resetting my phone 3 times and still nothing only plays ringtones ever now and then wont play music from ipod, youtube or other applications.
