USB ports -- not enough power error

Hello, I tried to connect my blackberry phone to my Mac Powerbook, running leopard, and on the phone's screen, it warned me that there was not sufficient current or power in the USB to use it. It told me to make sure that the drivers were installed. What's wrong?
~Psych

actually issue is even worse...
usb ports don't work left and right.
yesterday they were not even turning devices on >(i.e. my cruzer 1gb disk)
today it recognizes devices ( i see them in system profiler)
but they are not seen by the system.
i tried 2 different usb keys, 2 different hd, 1 ipod 4g, nothing at all...
actually behaviour is a little bit different left to right (something is seen 1st shot on one side, after some tries from the other)
still, EVERYTHING WAS WORKING PERFECT 3 DAYS AGO!!!!
will change it for an mba

Ipod Video and USB 2.0 with not enough power

Hi all,
Ok, post number 2 for me. I have noticed another thing in the Ipod Video 30 gig that really has me wondering what is going on. I tested this out in various systems, being the analytical sort, and it seems to be that case. As long as there is enough power in the USB port to accomodate the Ipod, things are fine. Life is good.
But if there is not, even if you are compatible, in Windows, then things will be bad. First of all, your Ipod will freeze. That is bad. The second thing is that your Ipod will not come up as an Ipod in Windows, but will be a generic USD device drive. pretty awful.
So you have to reset the Ipod, and make sure that your USB port has enough power dedicated to it for the Ipod to be plugged into it. How much power is this baby sucking up anyways? On my machine at work, if I plug it in, and it only has a keyboard and mouse on it, it will not work. What is that?
Any help is much appreciated:>
Thanks

You may have noticed that as a Windows user you get little to no response in this forum to questions. Wrong side of the tracks you know.
Anyway, I have found the same issues. I surmise that the real issue is that IPods are designed to be used with a MAC. There are of course literally tens of millions of Windows users out there so Apple was obliged for business reasons to accomodate them. The power issue is just one of the many problems Windows users have. Most non-hub and non-keyboard USBs will have enough power. Not all but most.
Keep in mind that I think MACs ROCK!! I would have had one if they were compatable with the machines already in my office. The IPod it great. The issues can be worked around.

U3011t - Not enough power to USB ports

We are working with a U3011t and before this past Friday all the ports on the monitor worked. After doing re-imaging the computer, I am now receiving an error message that states there is not enough power to supply the USB ports. Any Ideas why this is?

The monitor USB hub is simply a receiver when the USB upstream cable is connected from the bottom of the monitor to a USB port on the computer.
The monitor USB hub should appear in the Device Manager. When I connected the U3011 USB upstream cable to my Alienware M18x-R1 blue USB 3.0 port, the Device Manager- Universal Serial Bus controllers added =
Renesas Electronics USB 2.0 Hub
Renesas Electronics USB 2.0 Hub
USB Mass Storage Device
Reconnect the monitor USB upstream cable to the monitor port. Then, connect the other end of our monitor USB upstream cable to every computer USB port and re-test. Also, test the monitor on another computer. If available, test another USB upstream cable. The ones from any printer will work.

When I plug in external hard drive to airport express it tells me not enough power for the usb port. I have the airport express plugged in to power

Airport express tells me not enough power to usb port for hard drive.
I do have power to Airport express plugged in.

The AirPort Express will not support a hard drive....only a printer.
If you need to connect a hard drive, you need an AirPort Extreme, not an AirPort Express.

Not enough power (New Keyboard)

I'm not sure if this was also a 10.4 issue, but has anyone had any issues connecting say... an iPod or flash drive to the usb 2.0 port on the new Apple keyboards? When I do so, it says not enough power to power the device.

Unfortunately, I really want to use my flash drive there... But the ones i have apparently are high-power devices.
Does anyone know which usb flash drives work with the new alu keyboard? Indirectly the error message says that some flash drives will work in these usb-slots.
It's pretty useless to plug it in at the back of my Mini every time I use it.

USB port not responding on iMac

First - On my iMac (running OS X 10.7.5), I periodically will lose the functionality of 1 of my 3 USB ports on the back of the Mac.
The only thing that seems to work is to restart the iMac. But, this is only a work around. Why would the USB just randomly fail?
Second - On a related note, I do have a USB expansion hub that ONLY works with an external hard drive. Whenever I try to use it for my iPhone, iPod, Neat scanner, or whatever, I get the pop-up window stating that there is not enough power for device that was plugged in and that I must use the USB on the back (which may or may not work in the first place). Any suggestions on a product that WOULD work as a successful USB expansion? Thank you.

1. The port overload protection is tripping off because it was overloaded.
2. Get a self-powered USB Hub instead of using that bus-powered Hub.

Split x2 problem with USB ports not working

My computer is somewhat new and this problem has been happening since I first got it. I couldn't find anything about this problem here or elsewhere online.
When I plug anything into either USB port (I've tried my phone and an external harddrive) the computer like sort of recognizes it on and off. When I plug in my phone the computer beeps at random every several seconds and doesn't recognize it. The external hard drive was sort of recognized but only on and off and I couldn't move things from it to my computer because it wouldn't stay connected long enough. It's literally like every 2-3 seconds it recognizes the USB thing, changes it's mind and then recognizes it again, etc. forever.
I haven't had a chance to test the SD card slot or the HDMI port yet.
Sometimes the mouse freezes also, I'm not sure if this is the same problem (related to connection between the tablet and the keyboard parts) or if these are separate problems. It seems to be happening less often and goes away if I wait for a moment. Still annoying but the USB ports not functioning is a more urgent issue.
I need help, is there a way to fix this or is something faulty with my computer?

2010 i5 MBP USB Ports Not The Same? Griffin iMic Issue

I have a 2010 15" i5 MBP. I got one of the white iMics and it works fine on the port thats closest to the screen. However, when I plug it in to the port that's closer to the SD slot, it doesn't work. Under the audio settings screen, I see the iMic under Input, and the slider is to the right, but the VU meter doesn't register anything. However, when it's in the USB port by the power adapter, it works as it should.
I have read that certain model MBPs have USB ports that are not the same, and some people have problems with programs like Serato when it's plugged into the front port. Traktor and Serato have even mentioned that on the MBP there is one "good" port and one "bad" port.
Curious if anyone else noticed this. Again, it seems to only affect 2010 i5 MBPs.

Hi WebBrowser2,
As I understand your query its not a single doubt you are having at all, actually it’s a bunch of multiple doubt you are carrying here in your mind allied to Mac Book Pro (USB Ports are not working). There might be various reasons behind- not working of USB ports in Mac Book Pro, as you already had searched out various ways to fix all your issues. A few months ago, I faced the same issue as my USB port was suddenly stopped to respond, then I also tried to find various ways to get rid of this issue, and I found an informative blog link which has fixed this issue and make me tension free.
For more information visit at- http://www.olmtopsts.com/blogs/when-macbook-pro-usb-ports-not-working.html
And I am hoping- it will assist you in the same way as it assists me.

HT4101 What if I connect the camera adaptor and it says there is not enough power to support it? (fully charged iPad)

What if when I connect the camera adaptor attachment and a message appears that there is not enough power? My iPad is fully charged and I was only downloading three pictures. ???

This might help ya out -> iPad: Using iPad Camera Connector with unsupported USB devices
If you encounter an issue trying to connect a digital camera through an unsupported USB device, try the following steps:
Disconnect the iPad Camera Connector from iPad.
Disconnect any USB device connected to the iPad Camera Connector.
Restart iPad.
Reconnect the iPad Camera Connector and then connect your digital camera directly to the iPad Camera Connector.
You may need to connect certain cameras, USB Audio, or MIDI devices to a powered USB hub for the iPad Camera Connector to detect them. Find more information on using the iPad Camera Connection Kit.
Note: If you encounter an issue using a USB audio or MIDI device, contact the manufacturer to confirm that the device is compatible with the iPad Camera Connector.
What type of camera do you have connected to the adapter?

Which iMac usb port is high power?

Which iMac USB port is high power?

I'm not sure this is the case, at least on the newer iMacs. Some ports will adequately power some devices (most notable the USB Suerdrive) while others won't. Or, this has been the case recently, anyway; USB with Apple devices seems hopelessly arcane anyway, which makes no sense at all!)

You could reboot your device by pressing the home button + power button at the same time for about 10 sec. until it shuts down and restarts again.

A FIX for error message: When I try to open Snood (it's a game) I get this message. Not enough memory {Error # :: 0, in sound.cp@line 101 Can you help?

After years of playing Snood, w/o problems, I started getting this error message, on my iMac, OS 10.5.8,
with 4 GB of memory when opening Snood: Not enough memory {Error # :: 0, in sound.cp@line 101
My MacBook Pro w. Mac OS 10.6.8 did not have this problem.
Initially I thought that Snood raised its minimum requirement to Mac OS 10.6.
I had several correspondences with Snood. Their tech support is great. Quick and thorough responses.
They thought the issue was in Mac's system preferences/ Sound. It was.
I didn't realize that my sound input and output devices were gone.
The fix was resetting the PRAM. I found this advice on MacFixIt.com.
MacFixIt help with volume: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10415659-263.html
Resetting the PRAM is on Apple support: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
My sound (music!) is back, along with Snood. So glad I reset the PRAM before reinstalling the OS software!
Thank you to Snood, MacFixIt and Apple.
Happy new year all!

Good work, nice post/tip, thanks!

Photoshop CS2 Not Enough RAM error message (wrong forum)

For some strange reason, my copy of Photoshop CS2 (macintosh) has started giving me an error message after program start up: could not complete your request because there is not enough RAM. I don't have to do anything. This message pops up about 1 minute after I start the program. The program works fine. I just close the window and go on. I haven't installed any new plug ins or changes to my prefs or hardware configuration. This just started for no apparent reason. It doesnt't refuse to work, it's just annoying. I've tried deleting the Photoshop prefs file and reinstalling the program from the master disc. Didn't help. I'm running OS 10.4.2 on a dual 1.8 gz processor mac with 4 gigs of RAM; Photoshop set to retain 60% of that. Anyone with any ideas about this, or should I just quit whining and go back to work...

Can you tell us which API is failing (error code) and what amount of memory you are requesting? I've seen 'not enough ram' when the entrypoint gets messed up and you actually have a Pipl problem.

Bulk Collect with FORALL not working - Not enough values error

Hi,
I am trying to copy data from one table to another which are having different number of columns. I am doing the following. But it threw not enough values error.
Table A has more than 10 millions of records. So I am using bulk collect instead of using insert into select from.
TABLE A (has more columns - like 25)
c1 Number
c2 number
c3 varchar2
c4 varchar2
c25 varchar2
TABLE B (has less columns - like 7)
c1 Number
c2 number
c3 varchar2
c4 varchar2
c5 number
c7 date
c10 varchar2
declare
TYPE c IS REF CURSOR;
v_c c;
v_Sql VARCHAR2(2000);
TYPE array is table of B%ROWTYPE;
l_data array;
begin
v_Sql := 'SELECT c1, c2, c3, c4, c5, c7, c10 FROM A ORDER BY c1';
OPEN v_c FOR v_Sql;
LOOP
FETCH v_c BULK COLLECT INTO ldata LIMIT 100000;
FORALL i in 1 .. ldata.count
INSERT
INTO B
VALUES ldata(i);
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
exception
WHEN OTHERS THEN
ROLLBACK;
dbms_output.put_line('Exception Occurred' || SQLERRM);
END;
When I execute this, I am getting
PL/SQL: ORA-00947: not enough values
Any suggestions please. Thanks in advance.

Table A has more than 10 millions of records. So I am using bulk collect instead of using insert into select from.That doesn't make sense to me. An INSERT ... SELECT is going to be more efficient, more maintainable, easier to write, and easier to understand.
INSERT INTO b( c1, c2, c3, c4, c5, c7, c10 )
SELECT c1, c2, c3, c4, c5, c7, c10
    FROM a;is going to be faster, use fewer resources, be far less error-prone, and have a far more obvious purpose when some maintenance programmer comes along than any PL/SQL block that does the same thing.
If you insist on using PL/SQL, what version of Oracle are you using? You should be able to do something like
DECLARE
TYPE b_tbl IS TABLE OF b%rowtype;
l_array b_tbl;
CURSOR a_cursor
      IS SELECT c1, c2, c3, c4, c5, c7, c10 FROM A;
BEGIN
OPEN a_cursor;
LOOP
    FETCH a_cursor
     BULK COLLECT INTO l_array
    LIMIT 10000;
    EXIT WHEN l_array.COUNT = 0;
    FORALL i IN l_array.FIRST .. l_array.LAST
      INSERT INTO b
        VALUES l_array(i);
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
END;That at least eliminates the infinite loop and the unnecessary dynamic SQL. If you're using older versions of Oracle (it's always helpful to post that information up front), the code may need to be a bit more complex.
