[QUOTE="PapaNoHair, post: 628507, member: 19054"] I am running a G4 Mac (Specs: Machine Name: Power Mac G4 Machine Model: PowerMac3,5 CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.1) Number Of CPUs: 2 CPU Speed: 1 GHz L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB L3 Cache (per CPU): 2 MB Memory: 1.5 GB Bus Speed: 133 MHz Boot ROM Version: 4.3.3f2 I have been experiencing problems connecting with USB. There are only two USB connections yet I have at least 3 things that require direct USB connection and not thru a hub. I have been syncing my phone (until the last system update) thru the USB hub - now it will no longer do so. Problem with putting it directly into the computer is there seems to only be two USB connections and one is the keyboard and the other is the USB hub. I am under the impression I cannot plug the hub into the one remaining keyboard opening so that leaves me back at square one. I have the tower located inside a compartment so it is very difficult (to say the least) to pull it out and then change one USB plug long enough to sync the phone and then put everything back to where it was. I understand this Quicksilver is not that easy to use with either Bluetooth or wireless. (Do the new iMacs have more USB connections??) Any suggestions?? [/QUOTE]
