[QUOTE="George M, post: 944649, member: 79450"] Hi, I got a macbook pro 15". I never had any problems with my usb ports. But I now have a Toshiba portable external hard drive. Sometimes it will recognize it, mostly it will not. And it is the same on both ports. The funny thing is that it powers the hard drive (the light comes on and you feel the stuff working), but the light on the cable does not come on. Also, after I try it on a port, it somehow disables it for other things (mainly my remote mouse/keyboard) until I restart it a few times. And it seems if one of the ports reads, the other will not. And it is like that for either side. Is there something I am to do with disc utility to get this all working? Thanks---george [/QUOTE]
