My Mac Mini had the Belkin un-powered hub but it seems underpowered. It adds 4 usb and 2 FW800 ( big deal ).Â
I wanted to add a powered 7 port USB plus this belkin hub but don't know in what order.Â
BTW I have the 2.7 i7 with 16gb RAM and all kinds of peripherals i can't live with out and hate plugging and unplugging.Â

Find it a bind that the iMac does not have readily accessible USB ports. They are on the back but in my situation to turn the monitor round is a bind. Bought a small USB hub but this does not seem to work with half the devices I want to connect.
Anyone any ideas or suggestions to buy a hub that will work with all devices. e.g iPhone etc.
I just connected my brand new Macbook Pro to my 24" and I ran out of USB ports.
1. Keyboard
2. 24" ACD
3. Diamond Vid Card (for multiple monitors)
That's it so now I need to find a hub
I've bought my 11.6 inch MacBook Air a few weeks ago and I am really unsatisfied with the battery life I get.The reviews I read before I made the the purchase claimed that the battery life in basic usage like web browsing or watching videos was even higher than apples claimed 5 hours.I've tested my MacBook Air's battery and it lasts about 3.3 hours during video playback with wifi and bluetooth turned off and no USB devices attached to it.

Back story: Trying to share a printer attached to a PPC Mac Mini John Galt recommended I bring this discussion over to this board; in retrospect, I probably should've started here, as my issue is more likely tied to the OS than to the computer it's running on. Short story: I'm using a PPC Mac Mini running 10.5.8 as a headless print server, the other Macs in the house printing through it to a couple of printers I have... only the print jobs never seem to arrive. The client Macs think they're delivering the goods, but my ersatz print server is clueless as to the existence of these print jobs.

I checked other post and MROOGLE but didn't find an answer to this question. I am interested in purchasing a Mac Mini, but due to the small size of the internal HDD I would have to have an External HDD attached for iTunes Media. Will Time Machine allow me to backup my internal HDD and External HDD to an additional External HDD...?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am wondering what exactly can be fed in and out of the mini displayport on the new iMac, and just as importantly, what extra gear is needed. I have read that things like PS3s in principle can be fed into the iMac, but they need some adapter thing that is pretty expensive, is that still the case, and is it the case for anything that you feed in, other than other apple devices like MacBooks and such?

I just got a Mac Mini no too long ago and while moving to my new apartment, my wireless router had a tragic accident and is no longer with me. So I thought "hey, I will just use my Mac Mini to broadcast a wifi signal so my other devices can connect to it." So I spent the morning setting up the internet sharing in the Mac Mini system preferences. Got my Dell Studio 1555 to connect with no issues. But my roommates acer notebook won't pick up the wifi signal at all. Checked it on both of our smart phones (both are android models), my nook, and even my ipod touch. It is only showing up on the dell for some reason. I was wondering if anyone else has encoutered this issue before Mac mini is currently set up with 128bit wep with a 13 character password.

This is one of the biggest problems i have with my macbook. It has only 2 USB ports... on a regular basis i need atleast 4 USB ports and sometimes 5... What should i do about it ?I used one of those china made USB hubs (with colorful leds) but the speed of access to connected devices becomes really slow. I need a really high speed USB hub.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI had a powered USB hub attached to my computer, w/ a mouse and two printers attached to it. For a while, it seemed to work fine, but then the printers wouldn't work, and I had to connect them directly to the computer. I decided the problem must be with the hub, so I went out to MicroCenter and bought a new powered hub. Again, it seemed to work for a while, but then the printers again wouldn't work. There aren't enough USB ports to run all my peripherals so I have had to disconnect a backup USB hard disk. The hub is now disconnected entirely, and I have to switch connections around. Needless to say, this is a pain.

I have become increasingly frustrated and angry at my MacBook in the last few weeks. Nearly every time I plug in a USB hub, I get a kernel panic. When I send the report to apple, this is what comes up near the bottom of the window:

Sometimes there's a USB HUB written in there. What is going on? I've tried switching from a rather generic hub to a Belkin one, and most recently I just plugged in my aluminum keyboard and immediately got a KP. They've been happening with regularity over the past while, all when I unplug or plugin my USB hub with an iPod touch, keyboard/mouse, USB drive and headset (though recently I've been removing peripherals). I'm about to do an archive and install (assuming my MB works long enough for me to download the combo updater) but want to kill this bug soon.
i'm a HUGE gamer, so the first thing I did once I loaded this new computer up was install my copy of Windows Vista on it using Boot Camp Assistant. The installation went completely smoothly, so I then proceeded to install the Boot Camp Drivers onto my new and fresh and clean Windows Installation.
I restarted the computer and everything seemed to be in working order...but there are two relatively MAJOR problems:
One, the one that is the most pressing, is the sound. When I started up after installing all of the boot camp drivers, I couldn't get a single audio device to get recognized by my Vista Home Premium installation. I tried disabling and re-disabling other drivers in the Device Manager, and when I try to download new drivers for the one audio device that has an error sign next to it, Vista claims that it is already updated to the latest drivers, so it will not install new ones. I even went onto cirrus' website to download their official drivers, and the same thing happened.
