- A message says that the device needs more power, the operation can't be completed, or USB devices are disabled until you unplug the device using too much power.
- An operation that requires more power doesn't work. For example, writing to disk requires more power than reading from it.
- The device doesn't turn on or isn't recognized by your Mac.
Solutions
- Use your device as a self-powered device or connect it to a powered USB or Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) hub if possible.
Self-powered devices get power from an electrical outlet or their own battery. Bus-powered devices get power from the device they're plugged into, such as your Mac. - Reduce the total amount of power needed from your Mac by reducing the number of bus-powered devices connected to your Mac, or using more of them as self-powered devices.
- If your device is plugged into another device (such as a display or multiport adapter) as part of a chain of devices, the other device might not be providing enough power or passing through enough power from your Mac. Plug your device directly into your Mac instead.
- Make sure that the port on your Mac and the cable you're using to connect it to your device both support the same or later USB specification as your device. For example, a device designed to support the USB 3 specification might not get enough power when plugged into a USB 2 port or cable.
- Try a different cable, in case the cable that you're using is damaged or defective. If you're using an adapter with your cable, the adapter could also be damaged or defective.
- If your Mac has multiple Thunderbolt 3 ports, connect your device to a Thunderbolt 3 port farthest away from the current port. For example, if your device is connected to the ports on the left side of MacBook Pro, connect to the Thunderbolt 3 ports on the right side.
- If your device has software (such as drivers or firmware) that can be updated, make sure that it's using the latest software from the manufacturer. To get firmware updates for Apple accessories, update your Apple software.
- Make sure that your Mac is awake and started up from the Mac operating system. Some Apple devices can request extra power only when your Mac is awake or started up from macOS.
Learn more about USB power on your Mac
System Information provides additional detail about USB power on your Mac. Connect the USB device directly to your Mac, then select USB from the sidebar in System Information. For each USB device, System Information shows:
- Current Available: The default power provided by the port to which your device is connected.
- Current Required: The power needed by your device.
- Extra Operating Current: Mac computers and Apple displays introduced after 2006, when directly connected to certain Apple devices such as iPhone or iPad, can provide extra power over one or more ports. The Mac or display must be powered on and awake to provide this extra power. A Mac started from the Windows operating system doesn't provide extra power.
Learn more about the power available under each USB specification, such as USB 2 and USB 3.

A 'Best of Apple Archive'Article
- 2004.12.03
Due to the lack of two monitors, I haven't been using myblue & white G3 very often in thepast few months, but I decided to switch it on earlier this week tosee if I could open a file that a friend had sent a while back.
It was a Windows Media file, and I hadn't been able to open itbecause the version of Windows Media Player I had was apparentlytoo old. Not a big deal - just download the new version of WindowsMedia Player and I'm all set.
Except that when I went to Microsoft's website, the latestversion of Windows Media Player available for Mac OS 9, whichwas installed on the G3, is version 7.1. Unfortunately, it isversion 7.1 that says it's outdated.
At this point it wasn't so much that I cared about opening thefile from my friend; it was more about being able to open otherfiles in the future. I had brought my OS X 10.3 CDs to Montrealwith me and decided that this was a good time to attempt installingit.
When I had initially formatted my 40 GB hard drive, it was on mybeige G3, so I had created an 8 GBpartition in case I ever decided to install OS X. I never did,and OS 9 ended up getting installed on that volume.
This partitioning was oneof the reasons I didn't particularly want to install OS X onthe blue G3. OS X likes to use up a lot of hard drive space,and applications are fairly large. However, it ended up working outto my advantage. I left OS 9 and the OS 9 applications onthe 8 GB volume, and cleared out the remaining 30 GB or sovolume for OS X.
I booted from Install CD 1, and everything went smoothly. Inabout 25 minutes I had the OS X desktop up and proceeded to dosome software updating. But I got a 'Your computer has crashed,please restart it now by pressing the power button' message just asthe 10.3.6 update was completing. I restarted - unluckily, thesystem had been corrupted (fsck &endash;y &endash;fcouldn't find any errors on the disk itself), so I was forced to doan 'archive and install' just to get back to 10.3.
I don't think I'll be trying to update it again anytimesoon.
I was afraid the RAM might be to blame, but I used it forseveral hours with no problems whatsoever. The old G3 wasn'tterribly slow, with the exception of some of the visual effects.The video card is old, so I wasn't expecting it to be too fast.
For a 350 MHz processor, things load quickly, and while browsingthe Internet isn't quite as fast as on my PowerBook or my PC, it'snot exactly intolerable.
Power Player Mac Os X
I upgraded Windows Media Player to version 9, and the file Iwanted to check opened just fine.
One thing I noticed is that when upgrading from 9 to X, if youhad any icons that were image previews in OS 9, the size ofthe preview is not increased in OS X. In fact, they'redecreased! This is annoying, at the very least. Because they'resmaller, trying to find a place on which to double click the filebecomes a real pain.
However, because of the partitions, I can still boot into MacOS 9 and have everything exactly like it was before if I sochoose. I somehow doubt that I'll be doing this very often, if atall.
So far I haven't found anything that doesn't open in OS X,except for my ProTools project files. I've since gotten Cubase forOS X on my PowerBook, which I've found to be slightly betterthan ProTools, in my opinion. All of my recent projects are on thePowerBook, and I really have no need to access the older ProToolsfiles on the G3.

Now that the software's updated enough for 2004, the questionthat remains is, 'How much longer will the hardware be trulyusable?' I guess I'll just wait and see.
