"because a usb device is drawing too much power.

I realize that this problem came several times over the years, but I can't seem to find the definitive answer... If there is one!

Using a desktop PowerMac computer and receive the error message sporadically. Does not appear to have much to do with what is or is not plugged in USB-wise. It has just become a huge nuisance to have the window of (sometimes 5 or 6 in quick succession) error message pop up and take on my screen.

Can anyone help?

You could try becomes a USB powered, hub if the computer would not power.

  • NEITHER myDaq "drawing too much power."

    I broke out my myDaq and myProto today and was going to try to test it alongside my shiny new Virtualbench for EE Labs it and for the next quarter. With nothing connected to anything on the test setup, I tried to run the CC ELVIS level output to see if my camera was working and test its reported tension against the DMM Virtualbench. I turned on and as soon as I flipped the switches on the myProto itself the application tells me: "one or more connections to external supply rails draw too much power. The operation has been aborted to prevent the unit to use too much power. "He cut and refuses to turn on.

    Nothing is connected to the card. Any ideas?

    I noticed this topic is a bit of traffic and I wanted to update.

    I'm not entirely sure of what was causing the problem, but it is possible that the absence of a charge was panicking the software somehow. I tested the unit with a multimeter to ensure that I saw the expected, etc., output voltages and everything was fine. The issue went away when I prototyped a circuit for a laboratory.

    Very strange.

  • Photosmart 5510 "disabled" related "to the use of too much power.

    Printer worked fine. All of a sudden when I turn on the printer, I get an error message indicating that a device has been disabled because it used too much power to the computer via the USB port. I receive a message within printing itself was to say that the printer is offline or not connected, but it is connected properly as it always.

    I restarted the iMac (10.7.5), uninstalled/reinstalled the printer software, disconnected/reconnected the cables, tried other USB ports... done everything I can think of. The message I get on the "device" does not specify which device, but I get the error message whenever I push the button 'on' on the printer.

    I don't have a wireless so that is not involved. It seems that the printer is permanently "disabled" due to too draw on the Mac? Never heard of this and they need to fix it!

    When you try to setup assistant to reinstall the printer is not recognized, even though I know that it is properly connected and turned on.

    Any help very graciously agreed. Thank you.

    Hi Katecrimson,

    I understand that you use a Photosmart 5510 with an iMac and you get an error indicating that a USB device drew too much power of the computer, so it has been disabled. I will certainly do my best to help you solve this problem!

    What you have described, and what I could find online, it seems like it might be a problem with the USB cable. I would recommend that acquire you another cable to the printer and try this. I would recommend that once you say USB cable, disconnect whatever it is what USB connected to your iMac, it reboot and then proceed to connect all the devices back, leaving the printer until the last. With a new thread, you must run is no longer in this error.

    Hope this helps, have a nice day!

    Hello

    If I understand correctly your computer does not detect the printer. You can try the following steps and check the results.

    1) inspect the cable USB and connection:- icon on the USB () facing up when the cable is connected to the product correctly. Check the back of your product and the back of your computer to make sure that the USB cable connects correctly and safely.

    After that you make sure that the USB cable connects correctly and safely, consider the following guidelines to check other potential problems associated with USB:

    • Connect any other USB device. Connect any other USB device to the computer and check if it is detected.
    • USB ports on the keyboard. USB ports on the keyboard and on the front of some computers is maybe not powerful enough to support the product. If the USB cable connects to the USB port on the keyboard, try to connect to it in another USB port on the computer.
    • Length of the cable USB. HP recommends that the lower USB cables or equal to 5 m (16 ft 5 in) long. However, a USB cable which is 5 m (16 ft 5 in) in length must be of high quality. Otherwise, HP recommends using a USB cable that is less than 2 m (3 ft 3 in). Do not use connection cables to increase the length of the cable. Use a powered USB hub, if you need more length.
    • USB ports replacing. Connect the USB cable to a different port on the computer to make sure that the USB port on the computer is not the cause of the problem.
    • Defective USB cable. Replace the USB cable to ensure that the existing cable is not defective.
    • Conflicting USB ports. Disconnect all other USB, USB, USB cameras scanners printers and all other connected USB devices. Start the connection of these devices one at a time to determine if the devices to use too much power. Plan to buy and install a hub USB powered if necessary.

  • Tecra S10 - unrecognized Usb device

    Whenever I plug the mouse usb Tecra S10 - 11A I get the message "unrecognized (or due to a malfunction) Usb device". Then, after several times of rehearsals to plug / plug everything is OK. But after each reboot, I must repeat plug/plug in mouse for several times.

    Now, I'm on Vista, but it is even on Windows 7 or XP.

    Is it possible to solve the problem?

    Hi gordan84,

    Have you installed a 3rd party software/driver for the external mouse? If Yes, you should remove it.

  • ProBook 4740 s will not feed if USB devices are connected

    G ' Day, I have a ProBook s 4740 and after taking the laptop to the site, when I'm home and plugged things back, by pressing the power button would see it for a few seconds and then od light out. The LED above the power would have flashes once and then turns off. Needless to say, it would not start up.

    After a lot of frustration, I found that by unplugging all (wired Ethernet and USB devices) and by pressing the power button it would start up and even when starting I could plug the devices and everything is OK.

    I had to return to the site today and when I came back again, it wouldn't power up until I unplugged the USB devices. USB devices are external hard drives only, all running through a powered USB hub.

    This configuration has worked without any problems for wells in the year I've had the ProBook.

    This could be the cause?

    Thank you.

    The last update :-)

    After downloading the BIOS update, I decided to wait until I had a break in things until I applied it. Then around one hour before, I saw the red exclamation mark on the HP Support Assistant in the taskbar. Open it, there was an update of the available BIOS, so I decided to let him do. At this point, no indication that it was the F.60 update.

    I hate doing these updates that work at the machine code level where if things go wrong, they can go horribly wrong.

    Well, everything went well. Updated the BIOS and restart the computer. I went back in to the support assistant and got the information on the computer, and he says that it is now the F.60 version. If she went from F.43 to F.60

    I power it off, wait a minute, then restarted with everything plugged in and it worked correctly.

    Thanks again for your help.

    Hello

    I'm faced with the same question. I went to settings of your laptop and ran the recovery, but it did not help. I went to Device Manager and I noticed an error: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) A request for the USB device descriptor has failed. Tried to fix that with an alternative of Microsoft Community (http://support.microsoft.com/mats/hardware_device_problems/?wa=wsignin1.0), but the issue could not be resolved. I don't know if they are related, but I think so. Spent so much time trying to solve this problem and would be really grateful for the help. Have had the computer for less than 3 weeks...

    Hi Ewa,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I suggest you to update the drivers for the chipset of your computer and check if it helps. You can use the link below. Select the appropriate component and the operating system from the list. The link given below is for Lenovo 11 2 yoga, if you have any other device then please provide us with the exact model number or select the correct model number.

    http://support.Lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/Yoga-series/Yoga-2-11-notebook-Lenovo?c=1

    As you mentioned that the other two USB ports work correctly, according to me is not a problem with the driver. It seems to be a hardware problem.

  • How to stop sharing folder Windows Media Player executable because it uses too much CPU?

    How can I disable the network share (wmp.share) because he is constantly using too much CPU? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Hello
    • This happens while Windows running media player?
    • What were the changes made before the problem occurred?
    You can view these methods:
    Method 1:
    I recommend you perform the clean boot.

    Configuration of your system in a clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

    See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    Method 2:
    I suggest that you try to reset the media library. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:

    -Restart the PC.
    -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service . If its status is started , double-click the service, and then click stop .
    -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
    -In this folder, rename the folder Media Player as Old Media Player . If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
    -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. Check if the problem persists.

  • AVG says using too much memory because multiple firefox is open, but I only see one.

    AVG regularly analyzes in the background. Lately he has demonstrated a popup window that says multiple applications of Firefox are running and using too much memory, so I should close some. But I can only see 1. Tried CTRL ALT DEL to see if I could find the answer, but only showed 1 firefox, and that he used more than 28 000. So I think that AVG is correct, but does not know how to see what who or where they are. They DO NOT display in the lower menu on the main screen, so I guess they are in the background. Do not have the virus, and Firefox, regularly updates itself. What should I do to fix?

    Hi cmich80220.
    It is true, that you should only be able to run only one instance of Firefox at the same time. I searched but could not find someone else with a similar problem. If the problem comes back to Firefox running slowly, you can consult this article for troubleshooting:
