[QUOTE="FishStickBoy, post: 109451"] Is the USB hub is self powered (powered by a power supply) or powered from the computers root hub (requires no power supply, like a memory stick or mouse)? If it's self powered then there should be no problem. But if the hub is powered from the computers root hub you might draw too much current if using too many devices. This wouldn't hurt the devices but they might not work properly. Root USB hubs provide a maximum of 500mA of current? If this is exceeded the computer will not enumerate all devices. I would say if the hub isn't powered then use only the iPod on that hub and it should work fine. [/QUOTE]
