Hi

I have a USB hub connected to one of the USB ports on my iMac which is fine for most things but won't work with DVD drive etc. I am already using the other 3 USB ports for stuff that has to be directly connected and have to keep reaching round the back to take one of these out if I want to put something different in.

So the question is, is there a solution to this - eg can I increase the number of USB ports for use with all devices?

Many thanks
 
I don't think that the problem has got anything to do with the actual iMac. It's probably the USB hub so try another one from Amazon as it'll be easy to returnif the iMac is causing the issue.
