[QUOTE="jerbils, post: 271141, member: 18252"] I fixed my own problem. I picked up an Apple wired keyboard today, and one of the niceties it features is two USB ports on the back. However, they are not powered like my hub. When I have the hard drive connected through that (even though the keyboard itself is connected via the hub), everything works perfectly. On top of that, since I can have all of my devices working properly through the hub, I now have one of the two MacBook USB ports open, as well as two more on the hub itself. Yay! BTW, the Apple wired keyboard is pretty much perfect, and I would recommend it to anybody. It's only $30. [/QUOTE]
