Ryan314 Posted November 6, 2009 CID Share Posted November 6, 2009 I'm not sure when this started happening but lately my usb 2.0 ports aren't working as fast as they should be. When I try to sync my iphone it literally takes hours for me to get all of my music on the phone, and it never took that long. I frequently get a pop up notification when i plug the phone in saying "the ports aren't working as fast as they should be 2.0 isnt working" or something to that effect. any help would be greatly appreciated. - Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zalternate Posted November 6, 2009 CID Share Posted November 6, 2009 I don't know if this is the answer, but have you tried a different cable? Now this is because I was monkeying around yesterday with a USB device and shifted the plug about(as in stressed) and the computer popped up a notice of "this device can perform faster".

mudmanc4 Posted November 6, 2009 CID Share Posted November 6, 2009 I would update the drivers, maybe even see what you can do on the iPhone. I have no experience with the iPhone as of yet though, so I might be talking out my usb port..... sounds as if for some reason of another, the ports reverted to 1.0, considering your running "7" , right ? There are bound to be a few bugs as they work out this whole dynamic thing they are purporting head on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If thats not an option, maybe look for the motherboard manufacturer for system drivers. I dunno, is this that laptop / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I skimmed the thread, and didn't see what MB you have, it's probably right in front of my face, I seem to have some some of temporary blindness from time to time, can you post it, and I'll look a bit for something, anything to get to the bottom of this. For one I wanna know what the hell is going on so when I run into it, I already know, see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted November 7, 2009 CID Share Posted November 7, 2009 When my USB ports stopped working on my desktop I reset the CMOS and everything started working again. I pulled a USB drive out to soon and it caused the problem. Just food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTB Posted November 7, 2009 CID Share Posted November 7, 2009 There's a BIOS setting that can affect this. It forces the USB controller to be at USB1.0 speed (SnailSpeed), 1.1 (FullSpeed), 2.0 (HiSpeed). Speed names are by memory, so they can be off.
