Why does my computer give me an alert message when I plug in my 5th gen. IPod Touch?
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)
Plug it in directly to the Mac Pro or use a powered hub. Read

This is the error message that was shown when I plugged my ipod into my computer. Im not familiar with what a powered hub is but I assume by its name that it is a usb port or extention which has it own external power source. I can afford something like that at the moment. Ill read up on the link you send me. Thank you for your help.
I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. SOme other uses have reported same problem and it was due to a bad cable. The Lightning cable includes active components and not just wire.
