I need help... I have upgraded a 2002 emac so that it is running tiger. The computer keeps telling me that i have low powered USB ports when they are not. How do i make the computer recognise that the USB ports are not low powered.

Please tell us more about what you're plugging in, and which ports you're plugging it into.
What message do you get?

The ports on the keyboard should be the only low-power ports.

Hi,

Thanks for responding. I am trying to get a new ipod nano to work on my computer. I had an old ipod 20 gig working fine on osx 10.2.2 and now i've gone to tiger my itunes is really slow to load and the computer recons that the usb is low powered... i dunno what to do!

i am plugging into the ports that are part of the computer itself, not the keyboard ones. ...!

AFAIK, the 2002 eMac didn't have USB 2.0. It only had USB 1.1 ports, so loading anything onto an iPod via USB is going to be very slow.

[madagaska]

so what can i do to change that?

[chabig]

You can't change it, short of replacing the machine with a newer one.

thanks...
