Xmod: Line-out too much near usb p

Sorry for my english, I'm italian...
I can't connect my belkin pure AV cable to Xmod because the space between usb and line out is too small, i think this is a serious planning problem because many good quality cable present a connector more larger than standard, my question: Can I use headphone-out for speakers without differences?
P.S: I don't use CMSS-3D

Thanks for the reply, but I have tried it - I did state it in my message.
I probably tried it 10 times already, no help.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Dami

  • Lacie "using too much power", USB disabled, can't access ext HD?

    Last night, moving items to my Ext HD, i got an error message about the USB "using too much power" and then it disabled it.
    I'm using a 15'' 2006 Macbook with 10.6.7 operating system.
    I've googled the issue and have run out of ideas.
    The Ext HD is a 500GB LaCie Little Disk New Pack USB2.0 Black
    Restarted the macbook.
    Booted the macbook into safe mode.
    I've tried plugging something else into both my USB ports (it detected the item, a camera card reader) and was usable.
    When I plug in my Lacie Ext HD now using its usb cord, the blue light on the Lacie flashes as if its detectable/inuse but there's nothing in my Mac menus showing access to it.
    HELP ?
    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 have also been disabled. When you disconnect the device drawing too much power, your other USB devices will be enabled again.

    Maybe the disk will work through a separately powered USB Hub?

  • AirTunes cuts out too much

    I've had AirTunes hooked up for about three months now. Sometimes the connection between my Mac and the stereo goes for the whole day without a problem. Sometimes - like today - it cuts out for a few seconds then it's back on again, repeat. Also, my Airport Express wireless connection sometimes does the same thing, on/off/repeat. Sometimes my computer can't find my Airport Express closed network; but it has no problem finding the neighbors' open networks. This problem manifests itself without regard to what time of day it is, what the weather is like outside, whether or not someone is using a cellphone or the cordless phone we have, whether or not the cable TV (we have a cable modem) is on/off, whether the lights are on, distance between the computer and the Airport Express, I have checked the connections of my Airport card, Airtunes cables, etc., etc. ad infinitum.
    This happens with streaming content like an internet radio station as well as with songs in my iTunes library resident on my hard drive.
    I have the latest iTunes. I have the latest OS updates.
    Things I have tried with "success." Unplugging Airport Express, letting it reset. Quitting and rebooting iTunes.
    WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? Is this a specific problem that I can solve with an unknown (to me) software update/upgrade/purchase? Is there a chapter in the two OS X books I have (Tiger for Dummies and Tiger: the missing Manual) that I haven't read? Is there another book I can buy that will guide me to the right solution?
    Note: I am really tired of the "just unplug the cable and let it reset" answer. That's how things are solved in a Windows world. The problem with those answers is that I might have to unplug and thus reset the Airport Express several times in one sitting!

    A number of things to try:
    - disable WDS. WDS will limit your range.
    - drop bandwidth from 802.11g to 802.11b (G service is 50 ft, B service is 150)
    - try re-positioning the Airport Express base station
    - change the channel the base station uses (may be a conflict with other devices in your home).
    As a last resort, you can do what I did...hardwire the Airport Express...I too was getting tons of drop outs, due to 2GHz cordless phones,microwave interference, distance and number of walls traversed.
    Report back on your progress & good luck!

  • Multiple USB hard drives - too much of a good thing?

    How much throughput does USB on a late 2007 model Mini really have?
    I ask because I have a USB audio interface and I'm thinking about buying a pair of USB hard drives too. Do I need to worry about trying to do too much through USB at once?

    The problem with USB is that whilst it has a reasonably good theoretical 'speed' at 480Mbits/sec, the bus has no hardware controller dedicated to it, so the actual speed data can move is determined by how busy the system is doing other things. The 480Mbits/sec speed is thusly a burst value, not a sustainable one.
    For the same reason, USB drives can be problematic if the intention is to continuously stream data (HD video for example) because while the drive(s) would likely be perfectly OK in moving files about (because the data can be moved at varying speed) for continuous data, USB can stall out.
    Much will therefore depend on exactly what your drives are doing. Personally, I'd go for at least dual interface external drives containing both USB and firewire, and use the firewire option. Firewire has the advantage that it does have a hardware controller, so while it's 400MBits/sec speed is theoretically lower than USB2.0, it is a fully sustainable data rate, so for continuous streaming, more reliable.
    I hope that makes some sense!

  • 27" LED display drawing too much USB power?

    I'm having the infamous "USB device is drawing too much power" issue, but in my case it's a little different. Whenever I plugin the USB cord from my 27" LED display to the MacBook, it results in the above error (too much power, USB is disabled).
    I've narrowed down the following:
    1. Happens on two different MacBook Pros.
    2. Happens when LED display is powered from different outlets.
    3. It seems 2 of the 3 USB ports on the back of the display are not working.
    This started happening after I moved about a month ago and reconnected everything, including a USB Hub I was using previously. I also have a SD card reader, all of which was plugged in and ready to go. When I powered up everything, the lights on the Card Reader and USB were actually pulsing, which didn't look right so I immediately powered everything down. Checked all connections and tried again. Same thing happened, so I unplugged the card reader and USB hub.
    At this point, I had my keyboard plugged into the monitor which is how it was prior (before my move). I powered up everything again and while waiting for the keyboard to come on (the keys are illuminated), I noticed it was actually VERY hot - the underside of the keyboard. So I unplugged it and had a little bit of a sonofa***** moment. The keyboard seemed fried. It wouldn't come on for anything, so I went and bought a new one.
    Soon as I get home, I plugged the new keyboard directly into the laptop and ignored the external LED display. Everything seemed to work fine, so I tried plugging the external monitor in, but soon as I connected the USB cord... this error pops up every single time.
    Is this a USB cord issue (on the LED display) or what?  I'm at a loss of what could have happened, since when I moved everything was transported very carefully. The LED display was even in it's original retail box, so nothing was damaged in the move, USB cord included.
    Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. I know ultimately I may need to bring it in for repair (still within warranty as I purchased the display in May 2011)... but I'm trying this first incase anyone has any ideas that could help me avoid that hassle.

    Smc reset sometimes addresses some power issues.
    It is possible that when that first keyboard failed when plugged into the back of the display it somehow damaged the display usb ports.
    If you are under warrantee, take it to apple and let them deal with it.

  • Satellite L670-1HJ -Internal Speakers are not muted when selecting line Out

    I want to use an external set of speakers, but when plugging them in, selecting line out in Realtek HD Audio Manager doesn't turn off the internal speakers, instead only reducing their volume somewhat. Selecting Headphone does switch them off, but this results in audio being sent out at headphone levels, which sounds awful on normal speakers and is therefore not an option.
    Is there a way I can either get it to switch them off when using line out too, or just disable the internal speakers altogether?

    Unfortunately, in sound properties in can only deactivate either the HDMI output, or speakers, which switches both the internal and external ones on or off together, but doesn't let me choose between the two.
    When selecting the headphone setting, the internal equalizer seems to switch to a different setting, which sounds very different and completely unnatural, so I'd prefer to find a way to use the much better sounding line out with disabled internal speakers.

  • Using iphone line-out

    A couple years ago I made a custom cable to go from the dock connector on my iPod to my car stereo. This utilized the line-out signal from the dock connector, which is the right level for input to the stereo (and higher quality, as it bypasses the headphone amplifier). The cable also charges the ipod when it is plugged in.
    I was hoping that I could use this same cable with my iphone, but unfortunately when I plug it in the audio continues to play from the built-in speaker. It does charge, but no sound.
    So, does anyone have any information on how to "turn on" the iphone line-out? I would guess I need to drive some pin on the dock connector, which will signal the iphone that an accessory is connected, but I have not been able to find any information about this. Are there any documents for developers designing devices for the iphone that might be able to answer this question?
    Thanks,
    Alex

    SendStation has released a revised version of its PocketDock Line Out USB some time ago, which is now also compatible with the iPhone: Line Out + Sync & Charge via USB.

  • Apple USB keyboard drawing too much power

    I had my apple slim keyboard for more than a year and it always worked perfectly.
    Last week I started receiving this error message at the login screen:
    "Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled."
    Changing the USB port used to solve the problem. Since this Sunday I can't get the keyboard to work on any USB port.
    No other devices are using the keyboard as an HUB and the iMac has all the latest updates installed.
    I tried on a Macbook and got the same result, while if connected to an HP laptop it works.
    I already tried:
    - changing USB ports on the rear of the iMac
    - attaching it on an externally powered USB HUB
    - resetting PRAM
    - resetting SMC
    - cleaning the contacts of the USB cable and the ports on the keyboardù
    - attaching usb devices to the ports on the keyboard will give them power, but those are not recognized by the system
    Any clues? I ran out of ideas...
    thanks

    It's related to the current drawn through the USB port itself which us monitored by the SMC and interpreted by the OS. Without getting too technical, Macs are better "tuned" to detect these issues. It sounds like your keyboard is dead or dying as it is drawing more than it's allocated current threshold. Solution, replace the keyboard. Some possible causes over time include, sweaty hands, humidity, coffee - it's the sugar over time that does the damage.

  • Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer - bla, b

    In the last week or so, my iMac (Intel CoreDuo) started displaying an error message every 30 seconds saying "Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled", followed by some other useless "explanations" (which BTW can't even be copy/pasted). This has happened before (for about a year now) at every startup, but that was more acceptable; now that the message comes every 30 seconds it renders this machine unusable.
    I tried it with or without any USB accessories attached, with or without powered hubs attached, I reset the PRAM and SMC and reinstalled the OS twice. The only option I have left is to trow this machine out and buy a new one (believe me, it's not going to be a Mac).
    This shows not only the lack of quality of the hardware (crappy logic board and USB ports) but also a complete disregard for the annoyance these constant popping messages create to the end user when designing the OS. Just while writing this message I had to press the OK button about 10 times. It's AWFUL!!!

    Hi cimula. before you turn to the extremes have you tried reinstalling snow leopard. maybe you had a problem occur when it was originally installed and is missing a driver or something. also take it to an apple store if possible. take everything needed to run the imac and show one of the geniuses the problem and 90% of the time if you are nice and calm they will gladly help and diagnose the problem even if it is out of warranty. no promises it will be free it could be a hardware malfuntion. just dont force your self back to pc once all of the problems are gone you will love it again. i switched from pc which i had been using my whole life after a friend showed me his macbook and have never looked back. of course once and a while there will an error, problem or whatever but is it worth switching to a pc which has to have a security program running 24/7 to stay alive and sucking up all of the cpu and slowing you down? hope i am helping Dean

  • Usb drawing too much power on my new ipod 7.

    Hi, is that plugging it directly into a USB port on the iMac?
    Do you have any other Bus powered things connected to the Mac?

  • How to fix: "One or more of your USB device drawing too much power..."

    Plugged my iPhone to do my usual download of photos off my phone into my iPhoto library so that I can edit them and post on eBay and Etsy.  Suddenly, I'm getting 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."
    I'm surmising that it's because my USB cord (connected from my iPhone to MacBook Pro) might be damaged.  It's not charging correctly.  Keeps going on and off when plugged into wall or computer.
    So, will buying a new cord this solve the issue?  I have to get one anyway so I guess I'll find out!
    Meanwhile, for tonight I'll have to do just email the photos to myself.  Ugh.

    It should fix it.  I would unplug all of your other USB devices from the computer and see if it continues with that error.  If so, then certainly replace that cord (do it anyway since its having issues even in the wall)

  • USB device drawing too much power...

    I have a Mac Pro 1,1 that until this last software update (10.6.7) was running fine. After the download and reboot, my computer is now riddled with the same 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 give further understanding of my set up, I am running an ATI Radeon 5770 video card with three monitors attached: on the DVI port is a 32" Samsung flat panel TV, and attached to the two mini DVI ports were two 20" Apple Cinema Displays connected via dual link DVI connectors (each of which was connected to two of the three USB ports on the hub in the back of the Mac Pro tower).
    So, after the software updated and the computer rebooted, the Apple Cinema Displays did not come back on (obvisously because the USB hub in the back of the tower was shut down).
    I have tried repairing permissions. I have reset the PRAM and I have reset the SMC. None of these have thus far worked.
    After a visit to Apple, the Genius told me that it was because there was some discrepancy with the other third pary PCIe cards that have in slots one, two and three. So I confirmed with him that if I pull the cards and reboot, the error message should go away. I pulled all third party cards from the slots and I'm still experiencing the same problem.
    I realize that this sounds like a logic board replacement. But I'm hoping there's someone else out there in the community who may have had a similar problem and may be able to offer any other kinds of work around.
    Just for the record, I am running an RME HDSPe card in slot 1, UAD 1 in slot 2 and UAD 2 in slot three. Slots four and five are occupied by the ATI Radeon 5770.
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    If you don't have any USB devices plugged in, then your Mac may just be confused. Try an SMC Reset:

  • Error message: "USB device drawing too much power"; Battery will no longer hold a charge. Help?

    A few months back a jump drive broke while inserted in my Macbook (the computer fell sideways and cracked the jump drive). That particular USB port no longer works and I keep receiving an error message that tells me a USB device is drawing too much power, even though nothing is plugged into either port.
    It wasn't a huge issue until my battery stopped holding a charge. The computer is usable while plugged in, but as soon as the cord is disconnected it will immediately shut down. I assume this has something to do with the faulty USB port.
    In addition, my CD drive will no longer burn CDs. It will read CDs and allow me to open content from them, but it will no longer burn content to a new disc.
    As soon as I am able I am taking the computer to the store to get checked out, but in the meantime I wanted to see if someone has experienced a similar problem and knows what needs to be replaced or repaired, and how much that might be.

    I guess I should say, abnormally warm. Does it feel like there's a small heater going in there?
    I don't think this is the kind of thing you want to undertake, not if you're asking about how to do it.   I don't know much about the insides of Macbooks other than the parts needing replacing are probably soldered to the rest of the computer.  It's really something you need an expert to investigate. 

  • 2011 Macbook Pro suddenly says no space available on start-up disk (plenty available) and USB drawing too much power (only charging phone). What's going on with my computer? No longer able to charge my iPhone 5.

    Hi, all.
    Two days ago I was using my computer, a 2011 Macbook Pro, and suddenly got the error message reading "Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory. To avoid problems with your computer, quit any applications you are not using. Closing windows and removing files from your startup disk will also help."
    I was only using Google Chrome, nothing was running in the background, and I have 443 of 449.25 GB available (this is after clean-up I conducted after receiving the error message, but probably cleaned up less than 25 GB), so there should be no shortage of space. However, the message kept popping up and I deleted a few files and eventually it went away and hasn't reappeared.
    However, last night and then again this morning I have been getting the error message that my USB drive is pulling too much power and has been disable. All that was plugged in was my iPhone 5 on the charger and my computer is also on its charger, so I don't know why this would be an issue, either. I have always charged my phone this way and never had a problem until today.
    I haven't been able to charge my phone since. What's going on with my computer?

    Regarding the USB, see if zapping the PRAM helps.

  • Disharging with USB, Freezing on Sync, Hard Drive noise on Line Out

    I have been dealing with three issues with my 60GB iPod click wheel with color display (Photo).
    The first is something that slowly creeped in, which is hard drive noise that is audible through the line out when the iPod is charging in a dock. I'd like to say it's like a ground loop issue, but it's in my car, on my iHome, and on my apple dock when plugged into power on a stereo system. It sounds like the spinning of the hard drive is correlated to the noise.
    Second, over the past year or so, I've noticed that when I have the iPod plugged into any mac using USB, the iPod discharges. My friend has noticed the same problem on her 40GB 3rd generation iPod. We've tried them on several computers. Firewire connection, no problem, only USB when plugged into a computer, not the power adapter.
    Just recently, the iPod froze up iTunes and the rest of my Mac (G4 MDD Dual 1gHz, OS X 10.4.10, iTunes 7.4.2) during sync. I made reformatted the iPod using Disk Utility, Restored to iPod, making sure to plug into power to finish the restore, then attempted to resync. Two attempts of this and I get the same result, a freeze.
    The first two issues, I've adapted with, but this last one is just frustrating. I will attempt to sync using a firewire cable, but that should not be the solution. This iPod came with a USB cable, it should charge and sync with one. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thank you!

    ok I went here for instruction on how to take it apart since I wasn't having much luck on my own:
    http://www.flexbeta.net/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=20&t=8269
    his tip worked for me so far. hopefully this won't be just a temporary fix:
    Good tip: if your iPod seems dead and the hard drive is throwing errors pull out the connection at the bottom of the ipod mainboard and plug it back in, this will hard reset your ipod and worked a few times for me
