Heya.

Brought my new Epic 4G to work today, plugged it into the back of my 27" Intel C2D iMac (that charged and recognized my Pre from day one) - and got an error that a USB device was asking for too much power, and that the hub would be shut down.

Tried a PowerMac G5 tower, nothing at all. Intel Mini - nothing.

What gives here? Anyone have any ideas? Do I need to install drivers or go through some hoops? I don't need to manage the device with the Mac, I just want to sip the lovely power!!!

EDIT: Phone works like a champ on the exact same USB cable at home on my Windows 7 machine (homebrew).
