device drawing too much power on a mini

DAC · 10-02-2013, 07:41 PM

OK, changing 2 things seems to have bought quite a lot on this front:

I used a different USB hub
I downloaded the 1.7 driver from http://www.displaylink.com/support/mac_downloads.html (I was originally using the 2.0 driver)

... I'm on hour #4 without the above error :-)

As an aside: my mini can apparently drive a lot more power than the standard dictates ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4049 ), so why Apple feels the need to shut down the device is beyond me completely ...
