Usb Kensington mouse not recognized in Yosemite 10.10

I have a simple Kensington USB mouse that I sometimes use on my MacBook Pro. But when I plugged it in the first time to my mac with 10.10 installed, I got a keyboard set-up prompt, asking me to hold down some buttons to calibrate it. So I rebooted the mac, with the mouse plugged in and now nothing at all happens when I plug in the mouse.
The mouse does not appear to get any power from the mac either, the red light underneath does not appear. The mouse does still work
I've tried both USB ports on this computer. It has worked fine before upgrading to 10.10 without any software installed.

Hello Marcin,
Can you use other devices normally like USB keyboard and USB driver?
If you can, please contact the manufacturer and check if there are hardware issues.
About the error code 43 in device manager, please take a look at the following KB.

One of the drivers controlling the device notified the operating system that the device failed in some manner.
If you have already run the Troubleshooting Wizard, you might want to check the hardware documentation for more information about diagnosing the problem.
When you try the Windows troubleshooter, what problem do you see?

MSI Z87-GD65 USB Razer Megalodon not recognized by windows!?

Hi guys, I recently just upgraded my PC and everything is okay except my USB Headphones are not recognized on this system oO I had to reinstall windows to get the motherboard to be compatible with my setup and after updating windows and looking up the problem, I haven't found an answer.
The Headphones work 100% sure because they worked on my old mobo and my laptop that is right next to me.
Says its an unknown device and has a ? next to it. Also these headphones use the Windows USB Generic Audio Driver but for some reason its not working.
Any help would be appreciated alot

Try the latest Bios: >>Beta BIOSes<<
I will check for a newer version as well right now.
Edit: .141 is the latest.
Might want to check for a firmware update for the usb device as well.
Edit#2: Install the ram properly and see if that changes anything. Locking this topic as it is a duplicate.

I have a new Nano and I get a message that says the USB device is not recognized by my computer and I cannot set it up.

I have a new IPod Nano and when trying to connect to my PC for the first time I get a fault message that says the "USB Device is not recognized by my computer. I have several other IPod devices and have never had this problem. When I go to windows explorer, the device does not show at all, so I cannot manually open it.

Hello JETaylor2015,
Congratulations on your new iPod nano! I would be concerned too if my iPod was not recognized by iTunes or my computer. I recommend reviewing this article for steps to take when your iPod is not recognized:

USB mouse not recognized in windows 8.1 - tried all no help

Hi,
I am having this issue for 2 weeks now. Plugging the muse to USB port didn't make any difference to system, it hasn't been seen at all (noting in dev manager, no beep etc). I was connecting same mouse using PS/2 adapter and worked well.
After doing UEFI bios update and installing latest drivers for motherboard mouse is shown in device manager as "Not Recognized" Code 43. I did try to use different USB mouse, same story, playing with drivers, deleting/uninstalling in Device Manager
didn't make any change. Deleted all USB devices/Hubs used generic drivers suggested by windows didn't change anything as well. Windows Troubleshooter see problem - but don't give options to fix it. System is up to date with windows updates, no new software
was installed. Changed as well Power settings regards to USB ports but no help
A lot of people suggest to go to UEFI Bios and changing USB settings of xHCI to disabled/enabled/auto - well none of this worked for me.
Anyone has any other clue which is worth to try?
Seen somewhere that locating USB port VID/PID (from dev manager) then Find it in Registry and edit "Power Settings" fix problem for some - can see VID/PID for this mouse in registry - but no editable settings there.
Thank you in advance
Marcin

USB Audio Device Not Recognized by Stream 7 tablet

Half the reason I bought the Stream 7 was to use it has a music player with my iBaso D2 USB Audio DAC Headdphone Amp.
The device is recognnized by my Win 8.1 desktop and every other computer I've plugged it into. Why it is not recognized as an audio playback device is beyond me. I've tried all of the suggestions that I've been able to find on the net without any luck. Is therte some reason why this function has been disabled on the Strwea 7?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Problem Solved!
It turned out to be a combination of the usb cable and the OTG USB hub. On my desktop the iBaso was cable specific as to the device being recognized. When I tried the working cable witht the OTG hub on the Stream 7 it failed as usual. But when I tried the cheap monoprice adapter it worked.
The usb audio solves the horrible sound problem with the Stream 7 for anybody who is lookiing for a Fix.
The OTG hub works with a mouse and a mSata drive perfectly but not with the iBAso DAC.
Thanks to everyone who replied for keeping me trying.

USB flash drive not recognized by computer. Have tried all options of which I can think.

Okay. I have a Patriot S-Mini 32GB flash drive that my Windows 8.1 HP Slimline 400-434 is not recognizing. I believe it recognized it once, and has refused to do so since. My laptop (Windows 7 Toshiba) recognizes it just fine.
All other USB devices function perfectly on this computer. USB mouse/keyboard/USB Hub/Apple iPhone cable.
1. I have tried unplugging all other USB devices before trying this one. FAIL
2. I have gone to Device Management and the USB drive does not appear in the list. FAIL
3. I have uninstalled the USB Root Hubs and restarted the computer. FAIL
4. I have tried plugging the USB drive into the rear ports that plug directly into the motherboard. FAIL
5. I have updated the drivers, and have been unable to find a BIOS update as the link on the HP website downloads and says that it is incompatible for my computer. FAIL
...so what the bloody gorram heck do I do now?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Okay, and in the most ridiculous way I have ever solved a technical problem...
The USB flash cannot be inserted ALL the way into the port. It has to be inserted slowly, so that the contacts line up.
I figured this out by trying to connect it into my USB hub and noticing that the red indicator light was going on and off as I inserted the USB drive, flickering on as I inserted it and then off once it was all the way in.
Weird. But hey. It works now.

USB flash drive not recognized on desktop or disk utility

I see a number of similar threads to this but nothing solves this problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated as I am about to go crazy!
I have 3 USB thumb drives that all worked 2 days ago - now only one does. I have tried all drives in multiple ports and the same result. I have restarted the iMac (2009 Yosemite) a number of times and the same result.
This came about attempting to create bootable USBs with each of these. I was struggling with the process on my mac so took 2 (brand new 16GB PNYs) to a PC created the live boot USBs and they booted fine on the PC (knowing this wouldn't boot my mac). I did however plug them into my mac and they were recognized. I finally found success creating a Ubuntu live boot with my old USB. With that success I wanted to try with one of the new USBs on the mac.
Here is what I did:
1. Using Disk Utility - Reformatted the drive 1 partition MS Dos FAT 32
2. In Terminal unmounted the drive and ran a dd command to copy the linux .img file successfully
3. Box came up saying drive not recognized and selected to ignore (this happened on my old one that still works also)
4. Ejected drive from terminal
5 Restarted mac and attempted to boot from USB without success.
After this the 2 new USBs were no longer recognized in any usb port while the other still is. They do not show on the desktop nor in Disk Utility. I checked them on the PC and they are still both recognized and showing the FAT 32 format.
Help please!

Thank you for the reply. I found some time to go through this process a number of times without success
Any other suggestions?

Other mouse besides Bluetooth Magic Mouse not recognized?

I am fairly new to the forum, so I am sorry if this is in the wrong section...
I bought my computer last summer, and it came with the Magic Mouse and wireless keyboard, both, as all of you probably know, bluetooth. Nothing is wrong with these things. In fact, I much prefer them over other mice and keyboards. The problem is the left and right click buttons. I understand that I can go into System Preferences and get the Magic Mouse to have both the Left and Right clickers, which I have done. I didn't really enjoy the feel of it, as I prefer feeling both of the buttons over just one large one. So, I decided to hook up my wireless Microsoft mouse with a small USB connection. When I disabled my Magic Mouse and connected the Microsoft mouse, nothing happened. I wasn't able to use the Microsoft mouse, which works fine on any other non-Apple computer that I test it on.
Is there any way that I can go about fixing this problem and making it so that the Microsoft mouse is recognized by the computer?
Thanks,
~Elliot

Hello E:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I decided to hook up my wireless Microsoft mouse with a small USB connection.
Are you trying to do this with a USB "dongle?"
When I disabled my Magic Mouse
How did you do this? Did you delete the magic mouse in system preferences?
In any event, I have not seen anything like what you are describing. I am not criticizing non-Apple devices, but I am unable to suggest troubleshooting steps for non-Apple hardware as I have no experience with them.

Z87-G45 USB ports disconnecting / not recognized

I am having some frustrating issues with usb devices. The only USB device that seems to work is my mouse plugged into the back 3.0 port.
Computer is 2 weeks old and I originally loaded windows 8.1 pro from USB on a fresh install and it worked great and was working fine until a few days ago. I noticed the issue started when I turned the computer on from a power save and the bios got stuck on a black page with the code "9c". When usb devices were unplugged this went away. If i plug them back in they won't stay connected and if I restart "9c" error code returns.
At one point I was able to have my 2gb seagate USB drive + a 16GB flash drive + a logitech webcam plugged in and all worked beautifully.
Something changed - now if I plug anything into the front usb ports I just keep getting windows reconnect/disconnect dings. If i plug into the back USB ports I am getting "USB device not recognized" and other errors. Keyboard works fine as its plugged into p2p port and not USB.
My bios is up to date and also there are no exclamation marks in the device manager.
I have tried changing the power management settings,
uninstalling all USB devices in Device Manager
unplugging/re installing logitech g400 mouse and drivers
I reinstalled chipset drivers from MSI support page
Checking/replugging the front usb 3.0 connector on mobo
This is driving me insane.

Aha, that is the newer chipset for sure. That destroys my initial thought then.

Epson Action Laser Printer not recognized by Yosemite

I upgraded to Yosemite and now my ancient Epson Action Laser 1000 series printer is not recognized. I have reset the printing system, deleted the printer, looked for 3rd party software, etc. Does anyone have a solution to my issue? Other than replacing my printer!!! Thanks.

Sorry. I guess I should have been more explicit. Perhaps if I had said, "Do a thorough search, actually read through the threads, and follow the advice of people who have solved the exact same problem you have."

You know, i have never understood this, if you are so adversed to helping people, then why do you even logon or post in a help forum at all? it has always perplexed me when people come to help forums and make a thread for help, and the help that person gets is, 'search for another thread that has the answer'. This happens enough times since people that log on to help forums like yourself, just hate helping people, and eventually, a search ends up like this.
Search 'USB printer not recognized'
Returns 20 threads, all with 1 or 2 replies that say something along the lines of, 'this is solved in another thread, search it up'.
So now everyone gets to go through 20 threads just to get nowhere. Then finally, after spending 2.5 hours searching through 20 useless threads, since nobody could post any help in them, you find the thread with a solution, and its 71 pages long and has 30 different try this, no try that, that didn't work says one person, oh, it did says another, instead of just posting the link to the wiki in each of the subsequent threads...but that is just asking too much out of anyone, after all, they are too busy looking at threads in a help forum that they know the solution to, and making posts for the poster to look for a solution, instead of actually helping...
I guess it just bugs me. If i had found the answer, i wouldn't have posted about it now would I?
peace

IMovie '08: Built-in iSight camera not recognized in Yosemite

On this page
http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS2472
iMovie '08: Built-in iSight camera not recognized
it says:
In Finder, navigate to /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/
Select the file com.apple.mio.VDCAssistant.plist and delete.
Restart your system.
You should now be able to use your iSight camera with iMovie.
However, in Yosemite, it only has this file name
com.apple.cmio.VDCAssistant.plist
and I don't want to delete it as instructed without someone who knows telling me it won't hurt my newly installed and thus far working well OS 10.10.1, with iMovie 7.1.4 on my iMac 24 inch, Early 2008, 2.8 GHz Intel Dore 2 Duo, 2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. It worked with Leopard, and I don't recall having to use the above mentioned support page.

Contact Apple. I believe you have a hardware issue there if it's not showing up in your System profiler.

GPIB-USB-B device not recognized by Windows XP

I am using an HP Compaq nx9010 notebook with Windows XP Pro. When I plug in the the GPIB-USB-B, I get an error message telling me that 'The Device has not been Recognized'. I hjave followed all the instructions and have updated the bios and drivers of the notebook, but to no avail. I have uninstalled and reinstaleld the drivers several times to no effect. I have also tried running the device on an older Windows 98 PC, but the interface is not recognized there either! Is it broken?

Hi Andrew,
It's Pete from NIUK Tech. support department here. From what you've described it does sound like there may be something wrong with your product.
Firstly, I would just like to make a couple of checks to make sure. If it is broken, we can then organise for it to be repaired/replaced.
1. Has the GPIB-USB-B ever been working. i.e. how long have you had it, was it working when you got and has since stopped working or has it never worked.
2. Are you plugging in the GPIB-USB-B before the computer is switched on. This shouldn't actually matter as it is a plug and play device. It would just be useful to know if it works when you switch the computer on with the device plugged in.
3. I know you've tried it on a couple of computers with differen
t operating systems, have you also tried different USB plug and play devices on the same USB port as your plugging this device into.
These questions are just to cover all the bases before we send it back to the factory for repair. If we do need to RMA the device then I will need to speak to you in person to get some more details. If and when this is needed, it would probably be easier for you to either give me your e-mail address or phone into the department and ask for me.
Anyway, if you get back to me with the answers to these questions then we can carry on from there.
