Hey Mike. No worries. Every day is a school day for me here. Always
continuing to try and keep on top of technology and you know how that goes.
Yes, come across low powered desk top systems and laptops and with regard to
USB power, that never ends well ;-) Although as you suggest, a powered USB
hub can work around such deficiencies.

Hey Phil, thanks for more in-depth exclamation is always appreciated that's
why we are here on this list is to help one another.
My Mac happens to be a new Mac which has for US BC three ports yes indeed
the power and desk tops don't have that many issues but you never know
As a rule of thumb I always recommend to clients/customers to go for a
powered USB hub to avoid such issues
Once again many thanks for giving me a clearer path exclamation, it's
much appreciated as much as it work in tech-support, support I only know so
much LOL

Yes this actually came from my Mac but the same principle applies here.
I went and checked to see if the hub's power supply was plugged in, and
found that I had accidentally disconnected it.
Once I plugged in the power supply on my hub everything now functions
properly and I no longer get this message.
Phil comments the reason you received that error message is because you
attempting to use a powered USB hub with out the power plugged in. That'ssupply
expected behaviour as any USB powered hub that doesn't have its power
plugged in will exhibit this behaviour as it's a powered USB hub soUSB
naturally will be expecting power.
Haven't personally had to use a USB powered hub with a desktop and most
devices don't require much power really. Further more the ones that doship
with a power supply have a supply fitted to them that is more thanadequate
to power the device in question otherwise there would be no point fittingtry
the power supply at all. Having said that I have known folks attempt to
to power to many USB devices from a system that is underpowered for suchexhibit
things E.G. the power supply that was shipped in the PC simply isn't
powerful enough for the task in hand. In such cases the system may
behaviour such as spontaneously rebooting which points to an issue withso
hardware. That's an entirely different issue though.
As for Mac's they tend to not ship with as many ports as one may wish for
a powered USB3 hub is recommended in order to be reasonably current.PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
