ezilagel Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I just wanted to start of by saying I have been toying with osx86 since tiger. I have seen many issues come and go. I have always managed to overcome them, however this time I am STUMPED. I am asking for anyone who experienced problems with USB while using the latest update ( 10.5.8 ) and were able to resolve them, to please share your story. My issue currently involves my iPod. At first, I had no USB devices showing up after my 10.5.8 fresh install. I resolved this turning on UHCIreset in the chameleon bootloader. Only my USB Mouse/Keyboard would mount, however sometimes I had to actually unplug them and then replug them in order to get them recognized by the OS. But still, my USB Drives and mice do not consistently work... how is this possible? My current issue, as I recently stated, is my iPod. When I boot in Windows my iPod Touch is fully recognized by the OS and itunes. However, I have had NO such luck in 10.5.8. What's CRAZY is that USB PROBE sees by iPod. But for some reason it just won't mount. As I said, the iPod is fully functional. I have seen USBFAMILY fixes in previous OS releases that seemed to solve this issue for people. Is there any such fix for 10.5.8. I know others have see such problems on other topics, however most have not been resolved or are no longer up to date. I ask, can anyone help us? Very strange after many reboots, the iPod seemed to pop up. What's crazy is that it popped up about 20 minutes after I had rebooted... I will update if I continue to find stability issues.

If you're using voodoo, makes sure that the system.kext version matches the kernel version (ie 9.5) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/179792-1058-usb-problems/#findComment-1225789 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhsotmanOn2nd Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I'm currently running 10.5.6 and have similar issues with mouse/kbd but more frustrating is transfer rates to/from external HD's are slow (gig/hour)... After reading a few threads regarding USBFamily i'm still hesitant... Some folks have success and others vary from "no change" to 'machine running slow"... Are there any other ways enable USB 2.0?? Intel based... Darwin86/Chameleon Thanks for the plethora of knowledge...
