Sometimes if it is a device that needs high power like I suspect the 950 might be, then it won't be recognized. You need to plug the high power device into the high power port for it to be recognized and charge properly. The reason I made the suggestions above was because they could make a difference to the power requirements.

This is all very interesting. My USB ports have functioned just fine up to now. My camera & ipod have never shown any distinction between the 2 ports but that could just be that they are lower in power requirements.
This all sounds like the water faucets on the outside of my house. The front & side have decent water pressure (the side faucet very strong) -- the back faucet which of course is most convenient to my garden has pathetically poor water pressure. So I can see that these ports might be similar in the sense that their output might differ drastically (for very different reasons, I'm sure but I wouldn't venture to go there).
Well, this is very interesting. My PC won't recognize my camera through either USB port. It did so just fine yesterday. I tell you. The fun never stops. Well, at least I have my laptop! (knock wood)
