Hi All.
When I logged on to my computer this evening and I was on skype, I clicked on a link to view something and this popped up on my screen.
I don't have any USB devices plugged in to my computer. So what is this and why is it showing? Any Idea anyone? and what should I do about it?
Thanks.

Hello Tricia,
If you have no USB devices connected, not even a keyboard or mouse then the only thing left connected to USB is your internal iSight camera, which may have been called on by Skype when you clicked a link. Restart your Mac and open the Photo Booth app to see if the camera works ok and gives no similar warnings.
You probably need a powered USB hub to support the unpowered USB devices connnected to your iMac. These devices can be things like cameras, printers, etc...
Thank you Jayv.
I didn't think of my Mouse or Keyboard Duh!!! but they are always on anyway, so didn't enter my head.
Looking at Rkaufmann87's answer as well. I think you are both right.
It could be that skype drew power, and on mention of a printer I checked mine, as there is no light on telling me the power is still on, I checked it and it Was on. Now switched off 😝
Thanks Again.

Thank you rkauffmann87.
I'm glad you mentioned the printer, it woke me up to the fact it was switched on, I really must remember to switch it off, once i've finished with it. 😝
Thank Again.
Tricia.
Your welcome. 😕
Usb Notice what is this?
