USB Problem with iMac

I have a USB problem with a 2007 iMac.
It appears that 1 of the usb ports is faulty, when in OS X 10.6.2 I constantly get "because a usb device is drawing too much power" popup. Usually 3-5 popup eventually.
I used Boot Camp to boot into Windows 7 and Device Manager can see the ICH8 Family USB Universal Host Controller - 2832 as a problem. I can disable it without an problems.
The question is: Is there any way to either disable that pop-up warning in Os X or disable that specific port so I don't get the pop-ups.
I performed all updates and things like PRAM reset and SMC reset.
Its not under Apple Care if your wondering.
Thanks,

So does that mean all the ports work properly, even after getting that message?
If you start up from your Mac OS X installation disc (a different Mac OS X system), do you still get this error message? You can do so by inserting the disc and restarting with the C key held down. When you get to the Installer screen, you can do things like run Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Does that message still appear?
Also, you said you reset PRAM and SMC, but make sure you followed these procedures

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Apple recently changed the procedure a bit. While going through it disconnect ALL cables. If you have been connecting the iMac to a crowded or old power strip, connect to directly to a wall outlet, at least during this test. Power it up initially with nothing connected, except the power cord. Note if that message appears. If it does not, connect just your keyboard/mouse, use it that way for a while, and note if that message appears. If all is well, connect the remaining peripheral devices.
I don't know of a way to disable that message without disabling all the USB ports.

I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB)

I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB). When I play video formats like xvid, mkv, avi iMac freezes and emits horrible sound,in service said the problem is not overheating. Not a problem with memory or hard disk because I placed second correct parts.The same problem is with OSX 10.6.8 and 10.8.4 and other players.Apple hardware test found no problem and tech tool pro found no fault.
After five days of testing in the service they can not found fault and it was decided to change the graphics card.
New graphics have been tested for two days but it is not reproduced divx ... but their test software which did not find any fault on the old graphics...
Do I have the right to complain if repair does not fix the problem because I use non apple softwere and video formats.

You could look at the System Profile for the info it presents for the card. But why wouldn't you think it's not up to date if you have the latest install (according to your sig above)?
What program are you trying to run? Is there anything in the system log?
I think it's the program that's having the problem and not anything with your video software.

Problems with iMac retina 5K (artifacts, glitches and etc.)

Hello dear Apple.
I have bought new iMac with retina 5K display and I have found lot of problem with it. It was December 2014 when I got my first iMac. And after then I have found few real problems with it.
The first problem is I can't open high resolution image with standard Preview.app. I mean 'high resolution' - more then 30-40 megapixels. When I open them, I can see image, but only 2-3 seconds, and after that I see horizontal artifacts only. I can't open images, like this Rembrandt.jpg; Carpaccio.jpg; Holbein.jpg
The second problem, when I change resolution in to scaled mode (System Preferences/Display) for increase image on display. I found when select some area on background of desktop it has left some lines after itself. It is particularly unpleasant if you have plain colour desktop background. You can view, how does it look here.
The next problem with animation in different parts of interface, e.g. sometimes when I open Time Machine some parts of windows are freezing or appear some artifacts or glitches near borders of window. And I have the same situation, when I open Mission Control, or any Adobe app or other, or simply rename a files. I have found few discussions with problems like mine, but in the separate places
5K iMac - bad GPUs?
Graphic Problems with Retina iMac
iMac 5K and indesign glitch
And after that I want to tell you that I have this problems on four (4) iMacs. It was really difficult to arrange four replace. I have lost a lot of time an spent a lot of nerves for discuss and resolve my problems with Apple support. Finally, they told me that they do not know about problems with iMacs, and they could offer give my money back. I glad to get my funds, but now in my country price for iMacs has doubled. And if they refund my money, I can buy half new iMac only.
I am sorry for my language and style, but I do not know what I should doing with that. And should I hope, that my problem resolve with OS X updates? Or it is hardware problem of the whole iMacs 5K...

Yes Ralph, absolutely correct, 4 times. Do you have the graphic card the same as me, or m290? Could I ask you check your iMac for few things, please?
For the first, can you enlarge scale in System preference/Display and install plain dark color desktop background. Are there any footprints after rectangular selection like in my video https://youtu.be/dBglFvjJx1Q?
And for the second, could you download this image https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/07/Rembrandt_Harmensz._van_Rijn _-_Nachtwacht_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg and open in plain Preview.app, and zoom it? Are there any glitches?
Thank forward.

USB problem with K7T266-Pro

I have an USB problem with Logitech Cordless Wingman Gamepad. I have dowloaded the newest version of logitech gamepad, and the VIA drivers for motherboard K7T266-pro. I also tried to install the USB filter rc1, but the problem remains.
Here is how the problem occur:
1. On start up, the gamepad is detected and ready to use.
2. While I am playing a game, the usb device is reconnecting a lot. I turned of the "Allow this device to turn off to save power" in device manager under all USB root hub. But the problem remains.
3. After a while, when I have been playing for a while, the gamepad turns off, and the usb device is not recognized error message appears. Under device manager I now have a Unknown Device under USB.
4. To get it function again I have to restart the computer.
Anybody who knows the answer for this ?

I have a similar problem but with my Logitech optical mouse. It's also using the usb port and it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting the device in Win XP. I use to have Win2000 and I experienced the problem but not as often as now. Also in Win2000 there wasn't an annoying sound when a device would connect and reconnect, and not to mention when your playing a game and the mouse quits for 1/2 a second, really annoying! Sometimes it will quit completely and I have to either physically reconnect it or reboot to get it working again.
I have recently tried fixing the problem:
a) I flashed my old Bios and put in ver 1.9 from this site
b) I've updated the Via 4in1 drivers
c) I've updated the mouse drivers that come from Logitech.
None of these updates helped. I've taken my mouse to work to see if it does the same thing, but so far so good. My pc at work is running Win2000 but different MB. I don't think there is anything wrong with the mouse. Although I haven't tried using the PS/2 adapter that came with it and see if it behaves the same way. I have a feeling the mouse will work fine, but kinda sucks cause I have usb and I have to revert back to PS/2 just so it works properly.
I've read on the Via Hardware forum some people having the same problem but with an Abit board. They changed something in their Bios to resolve it. If anyone has any ideas, maybe changing something in the Bios that has to do with the usb ports, I would greatly appreciate it.

I had a problem with imac screen going black. apple store diagnosed prob with video card which they replaced. Brought it home, turned it on (have done this 4 times) it starts up, wheel turns, there is a long bar at bottom which fills up, then it turns off

Kodak 6150 printer connection problem with iMac 10.64

I finally got tired of the HP printer eating me alive with ink costs. I purchased a Kodak 6150 printer. Surprised to find out I had to install drivers but that is done.
Here is the problem. If I connect the printer directly via USB to the iMac it works fine. If I connect it to my airport extreme I can print from my Macbook but NOT from the iMac.
Was running a trial version of Intego just to see if possible virus was reason for almost incessent presence of the rainbow wheel - no virus. I turned off the Intego and still no luck being able to print from the iMac.
Per the previous question I did double check and sharing for all is on. The little screen on the printer says it is connected to my network. The printer is about 2 feet from the iMac and the airport is halfway between them so no walls etc in the way.
Any idea's?
Thanks

1. When printers are setup they JOIN a network, and they remember the network name and wireless password. Since that has been changed, you have to REJOIN the printer to your new network of your AirPort Express. Basically, the printer has to be reconfigured. You can always contact your printer manufacturer for assistance.
2. Navigate to the , then System Preferences, then Network. Click on the Advanced button on the bottom right, you should see a box with Preferred Networks. Remove the unwanted networks (such as your neighbors network).

MacBook Pro 15" Late 2011 Problems with iMac 27" Late 2009 TDM

Hi,
I just got problems with my iMac 27" Late 2009 (Mini-DisplayPort) and my MacBook Pro 15" Late 2011 (Thunderbolt).
When I try to use my iMac as external monitor for my MacBook, there are massive glitches and graphical bugs on my second screen.
I bought a MDP-to-MDP wire from Belkin which works perfect on other computers.
I tried these things:
- Disconnected MagSafe from MacBook + unplugged all USB devices + switched graphics to discrete.
- Shut down all computers ... then booted MBP, iMac and triggered CMD+F2
- SMC, PRAM reset on both devices
The cable works, because:
17" MacBook Pro Late 2011 works perfectly on my iMac screen with my Belkin wire!
I connected my MacBook Pro 15" to a 27" Cinema Display and it works flawless.
After that I plugged it out and tested it again with my iMac screen -> suddenly it works.
Retriggering CMD+F2 or replugging breaks it again with massive bugs.
The MacBook Pro 17" is on 10.7.2, 15" is on 10.7.3, but I also tried to trigger dual screen in 10.7.0 setup with the same issue.
Maybe its a problem with the internal 6750M of my MacBook Pro 15"?
The 6770M of the 17" is working well.
Sample Video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_pgc52syes
All updates/firmware updates of iMac and MacBook Pro are installed.
Any solutions?

Airport problem with iMAC 27" and serious service support for indonesia

Hi all,
i can't seem to get any help from anywhere else. so i try to post it here.
i tried to call the apple store (indonesia) which i bought this imac 27" from. got transfered 4 times and i had to explain it to them all over. in the end i got to speak to the technician and i asked whether i can get a replacement and they don't think it's the correct solution and leave me hanging here.
the apple store is listed as an apple authorized service provider (AASP) or apple authorized distributor (AAD):
iBox by Padang Digital Indonesia - Apple Authorised Service Provider
Puri Imperium Office Plaza, (Belakang Menara Imperium)

Fax: 62 21 830 6730
Email: [email protected]
Web: http://www.ibox.co.id
i called the apple support on the apple.com (0018 03061 2009 for indonesia) today wednesday 19 may 2010, time 1:12pm indonesia local time (GMT +7) i didn't get the guy's name but i can tell he's Indian from the accent, i told him what the problem is, he told me to wait, i waited for 10 minutes and he hung up on me at 1:24pm. please check on the record, because i was told the whole conversation was recorded.
so, let's go to the problem:
i can't share my internet with airport built-in in my imac 27".
I'm using ZTE usb hsdpa modem connected to the imac. (fyi, my friend is using the same exact modem and internet provider and don't have any problems with internet sharing using his macbook)
i tried to share the internet through the airport express simply with these steps:
1. open the system preferences, internet sharing,
2. connection with "ZTE usb modem", and the box next to "Airport" is ticked
3. turn on the internet sharing
4. press start
5. yes the firewall is off.
and these are what i'm having right now:
1. the airport symbol wont turn into an arrow
2. when i open the network preferences, it says: AirPort is turned on but is not connected to a network. (color is orange not green)
3. i searched the wireless network with my ipod touch and i found nothing
4. if i try to "create a network" here's what it says "There was an error creating your computer-to-computer network."
5. this are the details on the airport card:
Software Versions:
Menu Extra: 6.2 (620.24)
configd plug-in: 6.2 (620.15.1)
System Profiler: 6.0 (600.9)

Wake On Wireless: Supported
Status: Not Associated
and yes, i've updated all the airport software and i stick on the 10.6.2 os.
It seems like people who has this latest imac 27" also having problems with the airport express. and they somehow got a replacement.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2261196&tstart=0&messageID=109 80828
so, i really really appreciate if i can get help here.
many thanks and best regards,
irene

If you have anything configured in System Preferences/Network/Airport then you have conflicts configured into the network. I suggest that you start from the beginning. Do not assume anything. Do not take any short cuts. Start fresh.
Go to Sys Prefs/Sharing turn off Internet Sharing. Go to Sys Prefs/Network, highlight AirPort and press the - symbol below to remove the AirPort interface. Now press the + symbol and create a new AirPort Interface. In the new AirPort interface do not turn on AirPort. You should only select the box to show AirPort Status in the menu bar. Now press Apply.
Go to Sys Prefs/Sharing and follow the steps 1 through 11 in my first post.
In step 11 Sys Prefs should ask you to turn on AirPort. Turn it on. It should next ask you to start Internet Sharing. Start Internet Sharing.
The AirPort Status in the menu bar should show AirPort is on and have an arrow pointing up. In the AirPort Status dropdown menu it should show AirPort is ON, Internet Sharing is ON and it should show the name of the Internet Sharing network that you created.

Massive problem with iMac i5

Today I bought a new i5 iMac with 8Gig of ram. I had massive problems with the instillation of Lion. I spoke with Apple for nearly 1.5 hours. I finally got it working and now it has crashed 9 times in 30 minutes. Why?? Please Help. I am going to take it back to the shop tomorrow.

Thanks fro your quick reply.
I get the slow darkened screen that moves down the until it says that I have to hold down the poer button for a forced restart.
I tried opening all the really big memory hogs ll at once, eg Final cut pro, apature, imove HD etc, and that was no problem. It seem sto be completly random.

Problem with iMac quality

I own a 27" iMac that is just less than 4 years old, and where after sending it for repair with Apple in Denmark was told that it needed a new graphics card for DKK 2899 - approx. USD 490.00.
I found out that the iMac is produced at a factory in Shanghai called W8 where Apple have had problems with exact same issue in the past, and it seems had agreed to extended warranty replacement to fix these problems.
Nevertheless I do believe that Apple customers buy Apple products because we expect superior quality and no Apple customer would expect to have problems with a major component especially on such an expensive products and certainly not within 4 years.
And if there were a seldom problem with a unit that Apple would rather step up to the plate and stand behind their products quality.
In my case it seems Apple - or at least Apple in Denmark - is unwilling to do so even though they acknowledge that it very seldom happen

Do you have a support system in Denmark to protect customers from problems with products and services. If so advance your complaint there. Irrespective of the warranty, here in the UK you can get official help against any supplier of goods that are faulty up to six years from purchase. But you must be reasonable in your approach. Apple's warranty promise specifically allows for this when it says ...
Coverage is estimated. Learn about Apple’s coverage information for your product. Your warranty is the same whether or not you register.  Important: Apple’s 1-year limited warranty and AppleCare Protection Plan benefits are in addition to rights provided by consumer law (see details). If you believe you have a valid consumer law claim, please contact us.

Reboot problems with iMac dual intel 1.83 OS 10.4.6

Needing help. Mac user since 1999 but I'm feeling like a novice with this. Wife was playing Sims 2 when it locked up and wouldn't allow the game to be turned off. Did a forced restart, disk went to the grey screen with the spinning gear for an extended period. Went to bed and the next morning the blue screen was on with OS X label as if computer was booting successfully but the hard drive sounded as if it was stuck in a loop. Got the installation disc and figured out how to eject the game and install the disc. Did safe boot and computer will goto the grey screen with the spinning gear and then will turn itself off.
Tried to reinstall OS X 10.4.4 while archiving in a separate folder and after verifying the disc the install fails. Ran hardware check came back o.k. Tried to boot from install disc and it just takes me back to the install disc start-up. Ran disc utility to repair premissions and it hung up after 30 minutes and the hard drive sounded like it was stuck in a loop. Ran disc utility to repair hard drive, first checks came back o.k. and then stated it was not completed due to an underlying issue when it tried to back out.
The hard drive is partitioned from boot camp, deleted windoze and tried to install OS X on the 20 gigs partitioned. The disc again verified but then failed- which threw me for a loop (does not appear dirty or scratched). My intention was to boot up on the partition and then try to retrieve pictures and videos on the hard disc, unfortunately only 1/2 is currently backed up.
I have not tried fsck yet because I was confused how to get to it, I think I am supposed to use the start up disc and go to the terminal application then enter the command, is this correct?
Unfortunately I am having to type this at work while the computer is at home- so if there are suggestions please dump them on me and I will try all of them tonight. No broken folders, kernal panics or exclamation points thus far.
Thanks for all the help.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
When you verified with disk utility the disk, you basically ran fsck. Permissions are another factor here, but the fact it failed the disk check suggest major directory problems with the hard disk. Unfortunately the only third party directory repair utilities that I know work well currently are for PowerPC Macs only. If you have another Mac, suggest putting the iMac in target disk mode and see if it is seen by the other Mac. The target disk mode is described by this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
If it is, then you can recover your data.
If it is not, my suggestion is to get an external Firewire hard drive, and Prosoft Data Rescue and see if it is able to recover the information to it.
http://www.macsales.com/ sells equivalent Firewire hard drives for good prices, and http://www.prosofteng.com/ is where to get Data Rescue.
In addition, there may be suggestions people in the Boot Camp forum can offer:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1165
My suggestion is to find a way to completely and safely remove Boot Camp and only use it on non-production machines.
I don't think your problem is an online networking issue, which I see you posted in that forum.

Weird display problem with iMac 24"

Hi guys, I have a very weird problem with my 24" iMac. For some reason it seems that after approx. 10 minutes using the Mac, whenever I keep a window on top of another window and then I minimize it, it keeps there like a ghost for another 5-10 seconds until it fades away slowly slowly.
Sometimes it's hard to see it however it's very evident when using a white window (such as Safari) on a dark background (not black).
I'm attaching an image split into 2 parts, the 2nd part is shot exactly after I minimised the browser. It clearly shows a faded ghost image on the grey Photoshop canvas.
Here's the pic:
http://www.neilazzopardi.com/imac.jpg
Has anyone ever experienced a problem similar to mine? or am I getting paranoid?
By the way, I bought this Mac, 5 months ago and I don't know whether this problem has been there from the beginning but I only noticed recently while cropping in Photoshop and still seeing the parts I removed away very faded.

den.thed it's not that I took it the wrong way or anything but shouldn't I be doing whatever I like with my iMac?
For the record that is a dark grey Photoshop canvas, which just happens to show the problem much more evidently.
The problem is that it happens on any background (even desktop) with any window, even Adium etc. Their ghost just stays there for a while... I use the iMac for design purposes and it's very annoying especially when cropping a picture and what I just cut out stays there very faded...

Sleep problem with iMacs

I am happy owner of 2.8 GHz Intel iMac except with one nagging problem. When I leave my computer in the SLEEP mode for more than 24 hours it tends to not respond and WAKE when I return to use it. I have to unplug power and restart. Since I usually use my computer daily, it's not a major issue -- although it always makes me worry when I have any consistent issue with my computer
And it's not just me. I convinced my father and a close friend to purchase iMacs (PC users) last year as well. They have the same problem. It's worst for them because they are more casual users and often don't use their computers on a daily basis. They all have the exact same issues and are very unhappy about it. They both have the low end machines and have nothing but printers attached to them. I have done searches on the web and it seems like this issue happens occasionally, but it is not necessarily a common iMac issue. My experience is it's a problem with all of the iMacs (3 out of 3) we have purchased.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Here's something you can try:
Delete the following items in the /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ folder:
com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
com..apple.AutoWake.plist
Also delete the /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file
Reboot the computer.
If one or more of the above are not present, don't worry about it.
What if any third-party peripherals do you use besides the printer? Does this problem persist if the printer is not connected? What if any third-party software do you have installed on your computer?
