Hi. I have a Macally iceKey keyboard, which has a USB port on either end and connects to a USB port on my iMac. Whenever I insert a 2gb flash pen drive into one of the USB ports on the keyboard I get the following message:
Low Power Warning
The USB device cannot operate because it needs more power than is available.
To correct this problem you can:
1) Plug the device into an electrical outlet if it has a power cord.
2) Unplug the device and plug it into another USB port on your computer or other device that is plugged into a power cord.
Surely as a flash-based drive this should have sufficient power, shouldn't it? I have an 250mb IBM pen drive that plugs into the same port no problem; the size of the flash drive wouldn't make a difference, would it?
Puzzled.
