kikos Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 It's possible that your usb interface isn't recognized by os x. Try connecting a usb device that is known to work to your computer. or you can get a usb to ps/2 adapter.

R. Bear Helms Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Using a powered hub between the computer and MS peripherals is a good idea. OS X is *extremely* anal retentive about current drain on the USB ports and will shut them down if too much is being drawn through them. Usually there's an error message to that effect, but not always. Even on my Mac Mini, microsoft KB and mouse (both wired) drew too much current and once the computer shut down the USB ports, I basically had to power off, wait, then power on again. I ended up getting an Apple USB keyboard and a Logitech USB mouse. Later, I switched to Bluetooth. Not only is Microsoft power hungry, their peripherals are too.
