What are the specs on this ibook G4? CPU speed? what size screen? 12" Trying to figure out which one you have. some older ones might have not had a DVD drive. What USB items are you trying to plug in to it?

i had to restart because of updates a few minutes ago and now it is seeing usb items. i need to test the dvd drive again. my specs are: 1.33 ghz, 512 mb ram, superdrive, and it is the 14" model.

Cool on the USB. That model for sure will read DVD's.
