cd driver not working with new MacBook - USB Hub

Hello,

I have a CD Driver with USB A connector. The new Macbooks do not have USB A ports but I have a USB Hub which does.

So I connect the USB Hub to my macbook and the cd driver to my HUB.

I get a message on my mac:

USB accessories require power

Connect "Apple USB..." to a USB port on this Mac

So the cd driver is recognized but the mac (or the Hub) doesn't provide any power to the driver.

So it does not work. Is there anything I am missing?

Note: the driver works fine when connecting it to my old mac which has a USB A port.
