MacBook Air and USB Hub

Hi,

I have some problems with one of my drives that otherwise works well on my othe rmachines. It is a single IOMEGA, another one of the same brand works well. If I connect the USB drive via my ACD as hub, it works well with the Air.

I'm using a Belkin "Hi-Speed USB 2.0 4-Port Hub", model number FSU304 with no problems. Bought it at the Apple store.

will the superdrive work off this hub as well or do you still need to plug this in directly

Hi,

so far, the Superdrive only works if plugged in directly to the MBA.

Haven't tried it, but highly doubt it.

I am having problems even using my iPod 4G, enabled disk use, to appear in my desktop. The same iPod is working fine on my Mac mini, and also on a PC (it is formatted as FAT32), but on the Macbook air, it is giving errors in the console, about not being able to enumerate the device. At other times, it is enumerated, but then, it does complain about some USB power regulation not been valid, etc. USB prober finds it, but it usually says that the device is suspended... I have seen similar errors in other threads (MAcbook Pro, working devices on 1 USB port, but not on the other...unfortenately the Air has only 1!)

I also tried a Iomega external disk (2,5'') but it does not mount when using the USB power...the same device works fine with several laptops...

Is my Macbook air malfunctioning? My iPhone works fine with it, so does my USB stick...
