If each individually works, chances are this is power related. Make sure it has enough power (5v @ 2A should more than suffice but not all adapters marked so meet their stated rating). There are two test points on the RPi. The voltage difference between the two should be close to 5V under load. If it has sufficient power, and you can run Linux, you can check out if everything works in Linux. lsusb -v can give you more details including current draw of eac device.
