I am having trouble with my USB hub, or should I say hubs.
My first hub was not powered, but it worked fine until it randomly started cutting in and out. I figured that hub was broken, so I bought a new hub (unpowered) which worked fine for a while until it started doing the same thing. I thought maybe it was just another faulty hub, so I exchanged it and the same thing happened again.
I decided to plug my original hub back in, and it worked fine for a while until it started cutting in and out again, and occasionally stop working all together. I replaced the cable, same thing happens. I went and bought a powered hub, same thing happens.
I only have 3 devices plugged into my hub: a mouse, a set of speakers, and a printer. I've taken it to the Apple Store and the "Genius" tells me there's nothing physically wrong with the ports.
I'm convinced it has to me my laptop because I've replaced the hub 3 times, tried a different mouse, tried different cables, and tried each port but it's still giving me the same problem. I've tried plugging in each device by itself into both the hub and directly into my laptop.
Anyone have ANY suggestions? I'm stumped and fed up with spending money on USB hubs.
My laptop is a 2010 Macbook Pro / 2.66GHz i7 / 8GB RAM / OS X 10.7.4
