TheBigBentley Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 For all those people who cant get there USB 2.0 to function higher than 12mb sec. Heres what you have to do (or at least what i did.) goto: Apple USB Developers Page Download the latest drivers. I think they say 10.4.7 for Intel when you mount the dmg do not install the log version only install the one that doesnt say log. After they install let it reboot and your good to go. For me the best way to install this was after I updated to 10.4.7 I think when you go from .6 to .7 the updated breaks the drivers and you have to re-install them again. You can use them in .6 but as i mentioned once you goto .7 you need to re-install. Oh and by the way this will also fix the problem with USB Keyboards/Mice/Drives not working properly after each reboot. Another note: I obviously didnt make these drivers but was just lucky enough to find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

domino Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 I wonder if this affects front Row in any way when replacing IOUSBFamily kext. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigBentley Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 as far as controlling front row from what i can tell it doesnt. Although I cant fully use front row since for some reason the main menu doesnt display its icons with my graphics card. However I am still able to navigate all the menus based on its audio cues using the keyboard without any problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonty Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Hi, I've been trying to install MacOS 10.4.6 (HOTiSO) on my PC, which is an MSI K8MM-V with a VIA K8M800 chipset. However, none of the USB devices work in the installer, and I can't use the mouse or the keyboard. Can I get them to work using these drivers? If yes, then how? Help would be greatly appreciated.

krzysiek___k Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Have the same problem, but in my case switching keyboard to another USB port helped. I have in my PC 4 USBs - 2 fron and 2 rear. If I switch keyb front -> front USB - it do not help - I have to switch front -> rear. After it recognised keyboard it works fine until next reboot.

Jonty Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Thanks, I'll try that and if I get MacOS working, I'll install the driver this thread is about (which, as far as I can gleam from the other replies, will fix the problem) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigBentley Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 I had the same problem with my USB ports as well. these drivers should resolve that issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonty Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Well, I've got MacOS installed using some PS/2 stuff I found in the cupboard! Hopefully once I install this file everything will work fine. Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avian Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 They all seem to have "log" in the filename, I must not be looking in the right place. Where do I find the 10.4.7 without "log"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakine Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Download the IOUSBFamily-256.4.2 Intel-log.dmg, then when you mount the dmg you will find two packages, one without the log at the end of the filename, that is the one that I used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonty Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Now everything USB-y works fine, I still have to fix my AC97 sound (the kext I found didn't change anything) but other than that OSX is running swimmingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamnobody Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Hi. Great find there. I found a problem, having AMD processor with a VIA chipset it doesn't run at USB 2.0 speeds, yet it states the current device speed. Still waiting a hell lot to mount a 250GB USB 2.0 HD.

horst.schlemmer Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I've just installed Mac OS X 10.4.6 and used the latest apple usb driver to make my usb work on my Asus A8V, it just works fine. Ok, i guessi dont have usb2.0 speed, but i dont even have such devices, so its not a problem for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madim Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 This may be a solution for my problem. Pratically the system (mac os x 10.4.6 tiger) doesn't reaches the emi A26 and often when i connect also my mouse usb the system return a too high energy request from the usb hub. May be a sub port problem that 10.4.7 update resolve? Thanks Mario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horst.schlemmer Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 @madim Is your usb-hub active or passive (in other words, has it got an external power supply) ? Some usb devices are grabbing more energy, than usual usb ports are providing. Maybe you should plug the mouse into a port directly on your motherboard.

domino Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I installed the USB patch soon after I update to 10.4.7. I didn't want to speak too soon on whether or not it fixed my USB mouse problem always loosing connection. It's been a while now and my USB devices hasen't acted up. It's great not having to unplug and plug the USB mouse every 10min. Now the problem is I lost Front Row. So unless front row is fixed, it wont work after applying the USB update patch.

eclipse Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Installed the USB patch soon after updating to 10.4.7, however I saw no change. Any USB 2.0 devices are still limited to 12 Mb/s. System: AOpen Mini PC MP915-X Intel 915GM chipset Pentium M 1.6 GHz Any ideas? *Edit Tried using IOUSBFamily.kext from 10.4.3 installation DVD as well - no luck. Still locked at 12 MB/sec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miramar Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Are USB audio devices affected by this update? I have a Logitech USB Premium Headset 350 which needed "Soundblaster USB Support" during an install from JaS 10.4.6. If I'm not mistaken, "Soundblaster USB Support" installed IOUSBFamily from 10.4.5.

Neonkoala Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Thanks for posting this, fixed the issues I had instantly! I think it may have been caused from trying to compile the open-source kernel rather than 10.4.7 update in my case.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
