Hi:
My USB ports stopped working after a reboot. I have rebooted multiple times and have full updates. printer and usb mouse dongle dont work on ALL SUB ports on my MBP. I installed fresh version REAL of OSX 10.5.5 i bought. 3 months later and now i have this small hickup. Recent install was XAMPP.

My USB ports on my MacBook Pro stopped working. (Read error codes at end of message)

To test if they are completly dead i did the following:

I boot up, and i move the mouse around waiting for the mouse to wirelessly talk to the USB port mouse dongle. As the desktop is loading, they pair, the mouse moves a few inches and then stops (seems to stay on for only 2 tenths of a second), then the port dies. So i assume the driver for the port is turning on, then immediately off.

I have the following error in my CONSOLE when i unplug then plug in the mouse usb dongle:

10/9/08 10:53:10 AM kernel USBF: 164149.607 AppleUSBEHCI[0x4167000]::Found a transaction which hasn't moved in 5 seconds on bus 0xfa, timing out! (Addr: 2, EP: 10)

ETC...

What is the terminal commands needed to reinstall the default USB port drivers for OS X 10.5.5 ?
OR
What do you recommend?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Stephen & welcome to macosx :)

I'd say you have troubleshooted this pretty well, IMHO ... You have tried the fresh install but it failed to yield joy :(

What I suggest:

  • Try USB Prober it may/may not fix things but could be worth the time spent. It is located in MacintoshHD ~> Developer ~> Applications ~> Utilities, provided you have installed the Xcode developer tools. If you haven't installed the Developer Tools then have a look on your installer DVD, if you have one. Otherwise go to http://developer.apple.com, join the Apple Developer Connection as a free online member, and log in to obtain the most recent Xcode tools installer.

  • Might be helpful to post here the details that you see in:

     ~> About This Mac ~> More Info ... ~> Hardware ~> USB ~> USB Device Tree​

    Have a look to see if your Printer & USB mouse dongle are showing in the Device Tree.

  • I was also going to suggest you could try reapplying the 10.5.5 Combo Update from apple.com but I'm not sure if this is applicable in your case so seek further advice on this first.

  • If this is truly a hardware issue then take your MBP to your nearest Apple Store and have them check it out as you might have a Logic Board that needs replacing. Hopefully your MBP is still under warranty. I can't say for sure if this is the case but it is something to think about.

FWIW, I include this link:

A USB Port is Not a USB Port

Hope this helps :)
