[QUOTE="pezza.131214, post: 153624"] I MADE THE SWITCH, I bought a Mac Mini, and I'm very pleased. Everything is working great. Still, I have one very small problem that doesn't make sense to me. When i plug a USB flash drive into my apple keyboard hub, I get a low power warning and i'm told that their is not enough power to power the USB device... "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." Ok, that makes sense to me, but here's what doesn't, when i plug the same flash drive into another usb hub (non-powered), and plug that hub into the keyboard hub everything works fine. Why is it that I can only use the flash drive through another hub? Once again, the non-powered hub is plugged into the keyboard. Hope I made that clear, thanks in advance for any help. [/QUOTE]
