can you unplug the usb from both ends? like from the turret? is it a separate usb cable?

Yeah. Its a usb commonly called a "mickey mouse" because of its shape. And you if had a differnt cable that you wanted to use you could. But it does come with one.
1152872
Yes, you can unplug it. It does come with a usb cord, but it is able to be separated.

You can unplug both ends of the cable. But the end that goes into the turret is not a USB or mini USB.

1) are you sure your cable is a USB 2.0 piece?2) is your cable plugged into a direct port on the computer and not a hub, especially if the hub is un-powered

the USB connection is on the back of the unit. It is controlled by the mains only. Not a good design in my opinion. They should be assignable to a channel. It would be better if it did. your better off just plugging in your computer into a channel of your choosing that way you have control over that channel and can leave the mains alone.......unless your talking about the external USB audio thing that comes with it. In that case then ya you can separate the channels. I use it all the time. works great. good sound also. better than your headphone jack.

I haven't tried that, but I connect an external hard dive to a server with it and it's just like a USB on board. My only caveat would be that it sometimes disconnects if I let it hooked up for a long time. Might not be an issue if it's something like a mouse or pen device since you use it throughout the day.

I don't quite know what you are asking about the USB cable, but I am using my USB cable that came with the device to plug the unit into my computer to receive updates from TomTom. I have also used the USB cable in my vehicle as a power cord when I couldn't find the cable that is usually used to power the unit in the vehicle.

Yes, there is a light in the triangle that you push to have the USB connector show/retract. It blinks when transferring and is solid when plugged in.

Hopefully you are not the person that took off with mine!!! lol But I believe the USB is called a Micro USB B, judging by the picture I could find on line. Hopefully that helps...

I have not known any USB connection to be one directional. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software. In most cases that is a software issue. Not a hardware issue. But at any rate, the coat of the cable here compaired to picking one up at a local store. This one is much cheaper.

Actually, Magpie, the jack plugs into the (green) 1/8" port where the speakers would normally go. I'm pretty sure the USB is only for power. One not, though... this combined cable is INCREDIBLY SHORT. As in... unnecessarily short. Come on, Satechi... spring for an extra couple feet of cable so the speakers aren't tethered within 3ft. of the tower!

Oh, wait. I'm sorry, I'm thinking about a self-release cable. Duh. Yes, mine came with a USB cable. A VERY short one.

Don;t know the answer but I would change the USB cable to a different output/input connector/terminal . Sometimes an add-on unit won't work on some of the USB terminals.

It's because power can still be pulled from the USB port even when your pc is off, similar to how you can charge your phone when your computers off. I simply unplug the cable from my nessie when I'm not using it.

Yes the rear USB port works alot better than the one on the front. If it still doesn't want to read your USB than you might want to buy a different one. I've had that happen to me before.

Not that I know of but the light stays on, unless you just want to unplug the usb?

The only connection is a fixed thunderbolt, so I'm not sure you'd be able to connect it. There's no USB on it.

u dotn need to purchase a new cable. it comes with one. but its usb 3.0 which is faster than the regular usb but its the same connection. im not sure what the opposite end is called. you can look on touro.com for a replacement cable, im sure.
