I'm not sure if this is related to my hub or MacBook, but just within the last 30 minutes my iPhone and wireless mouse, both connected to my USB hub, acted as if they were unplugged and then re-plugged. This has happened about three times now this morning. The iPhone does its little jingle sound and its screen turns on, and my mouse stops working. It all happens within about 2 seconds. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Maybe my hub is going bad, or the MacBook is having issues. I don't know.
Got a tip for us?

USB devices going whack

Probably your hub. I have a small Belkin hub that does the same thing from time to time. I get a couple pop ups about my devices have been removed and blah blah blah. I have to unplug the hub and then plug it back in again. I noticed it tends to do it when I have my USB DVD burner plugged in. Even though the hub is powered from the wall as well as the DVD burner, it still does it.
Same here... it's worst when you have drives attached, and your making some backup and for some reason the drive dismounts... argh!! I'm pretty sure that's not healthy for a bus powered drive.
