Beaubarre Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Help, my iMac Intel 24 inches USB ports are now 1.1 instead of 2.0. Tried to reboot with command + option + P + R, tried to cut-off power for 15 s, tried even another backup installation of MacOSX Leopard 10.5.0 on firewire disk. My Elgato Hybrid Eye TV don't work anymore and USB flash drives are slow, is it an hardware problem ? I don't believe it, my hackintosh thinkpad X40 USB ports are fine whereas the thinkpad is 4 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaubarre Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 Hello, Resolved the problem, here are all the steps I did, don't know if all are necessary: - used a bluetooth mouse - removed all USB devices except keyboard - shut down iMac 24 then restart pressing Command + Option + P + R for reinitialising the PRAM - as soon as it is acknowledged by the iMac (black screen), removed USB keyboard - no USB device on computer when it booted El Gato TNT Hybrid was recognized properly as USB 2.0 and worked OK. I guess I have too many USB devices plugged (6 of them), which wouldn't be a problem if removing some would enable USB 2.0 but it seems to get stuck to 1.1 afterwards.
