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

I guess I need the Mac made memory card reader then? Please help me do some research, or if you think I can handle it, give me something to read. This is not an externally powered device. Its designed to work off of the power supplied from the USB port. Why does Apple get to take the 'Universal' out of USB? Thats always been the best thing about it, IMO.
I bought the Mac USB hub after my Mac-compatible logitech hub stopped working. The Mac hub stopped working in short order also. I was given the same lecture about the memory chip when it failed. It was the latest and greatest Mac specified and recommended piece!
