      For some reason When I plug something into both usb ports one will be disabled. For instance when I plug a usb stick in, my controller disconnects. Or when I plug my keyboard in to type in my password for wifi, the wifi dongle turns off meaning I'm unable to connect! Help would be appreciated as Its driving me nuts! Also roms don't seem to be transferring from my usb stick so help on that would be appreciated aswell.

          AlexMurphy is right, check out that link. It very well could be (as the link states) that your power supply isn't providing enough current. Also, if you are running a pi 3, if my memory serves me, wifi is built in. You not giving us any base information to work with makes things difficult to help.

          Also, if a better power supply doesn't work, I'm guessing that it's a hardware issue, not software, in which case, this is probably the wrong place to ask.
