Thankfully the USB port on the back of this POS still works. I just unplug my printer and plug the card reader into there since I need to transfer pictures to the machine.
Yeah, Apples are swell. Real industrial grade hardware.

Shuie,
The USB ports on the keyboard do not provide max power. Only the ports on the front or back of the actual machine provide enough power to power certain devices. The keyboard ports are fine for some devices, but not all. You need a powered USB hub. Don't skimp on a cheap one. Buy a good one for $40 or so. They are available everywhere. It will solve your problems. Not fair to blame this on the Mac.... this is common knowledge and has been well known for years. Sounds like you haven't done much reading or research
