USB 3.0 Hub attached to a Mac Mini does not work

I have already 2 USB 2.0 hubs attached and work perfectly. I want to add a 3.0 USB powered hub but it does not work. The USB is a Iogear 3.0 USB Hub.


Thank you

Mac mini (Late 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

Does any USB thing show up?


Of not...


USB reset...


If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device. A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:

1. Shut the machine down.

2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.

3. leave it for 10 minutes.

4. Connect back up and reboot.

You must connect a USB 3.0 device to the USB 3.0 port, next to the Thunderbolt port. Only one of the four is really USB 3.0. The next one and the last one are the same bus which is USB 2.0. The third one plus the internal IR receiver and Bluetooth are one bus which is USB 2.0.
