USB ports not working on MacBook pro

I Am trying to hook up a portable hard drive (2.0) via  a USB port.  I've now checked with other items as we'll and it appears that the connections through the USB ports are no longer working. 
PLease help! 

Jkp54,
have you run your MacBook Pro’s Apple Hardware Test, to see if it can detect anything amiss?

    Hi, i bought a macbook pro, OS X lion, version 10.7.4 a month ago. one of my USB port suddenly stopped working. i am a new mac user, so i have very less idea about mac. i would appreciate if someone could give me step by step solution to this problem. thanks in advance

    Try Reset SMC.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    If this does not help, you have to take the MBP to the Apple store for evaluation.
    You have 90 days of free tech support from AppleCare from the date of purchase.

  • USB drives not working on Macbook Pro

    I have an early 2011 Macbook Pro and both USB drives are currently not working. All storage devices work in my other Mac, just not in this one. They do not show up in disk utility or anything. I've attached a screenshot of the system profiler information, because when compared to my other Mac it doesn't show as many USB ports. Please Help, Justin

    Hi i'm also having the same problem (Macbook pro late 2011). I have a back-up hard drive that will not connect to my usb either. I have done a PRAM & SMC reboot and neither worked. I read another post that said to erase the usb & retry connecting, but that's not really an option for me as this is the back-up of my entire disk + extra materials (I'm a medical student). I need the data off my hard drive urgently! It was working this morning and now it's not.
    Mine does show up in disk utility, but I can't access anything on it. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

  • Usb port wont work on macbook pro 13" late 2011

    Hello, can anyone help please?
    I have 2 usb ports but only 1 is working correctly, the other wont take flash drives or my iphone 4 they wont show in the finder or anywhere on my macbook, however my wd harddrive works fine in the same port.
    just to be sure 1 port is working absolutely fine accepts flash drives and every thing this problem is only with one of the ports
    This does seem to have happened after i installed mavericks but not sure if this is related

    Though all USB ports may not have the same power output, based on what you describe on the 'suspect' port suggests a different issue.  Take the devices that will not work on the 'suspect' port with the MBP to an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians inspect it.
    You might try SMC and PRAM resets, but I have my doubts about success in your case:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
    These will not harm your MBP.

  • USB Ports Stopped working on MacBook Pro 13-inch, Late 2011, OS X 10.8.5

    Please help with any advice
    I have OS X 10.8.5
    One USB port stopped a while ago
    The other stopped yesterday.
    I have reset the PRAM
    I have also reset the SMC
    Nothing seems to fix it.
    I do have a time machine backup
    Any suggestions?

    The best option is a visit to the Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation.  You have tried all you can.

  • USB Ports Not Working

    The USB Ports on my 2012 MacBook Pro have stopped working. Initially, port #1 (the one closest to the screen) stopped working, but now (probably nearly 12 months later) they have both stopped working. The SD card reader is starting to work intermittently too.
    The only life I get from either port is if I plug a device into port one, as I remove it, I get a warning saying the USB ports have been disabled due to them drawing too much power. The device never mounts in finder, though. This doesn't happen if I plug a device into port two. It doesn't make a difference what type of device I plug in (have tried USB stick, external hard drive, usb mouse). The results are always the same.
    I have reset both the PRAM and SMC which didn't help.
    I've also done hardware check through the "about this Mac" and found that neither USB port are appearing in the device tree, although the internal device ports are (for items such as built in mouse, keyboard, camera etc)
    It's possible/likely to have had moisture in it at some point since it's spend nearly 3 years in clubs (was my DJ laptop then general work purposes as a manager), but as it did deteriorate gradually it's not a spillage that directly or immediately caused the issue.
    Im currently runninf Mac OS X 10.10.2 . The issues were present prior to upgrade (was running 10.6.8 when the issue first occurred) and nothing has changed since the upgrade.
    Anyone have any ideas of other things I should try/tests I should do?
    I'm starting to assume that it's hardware related, and in which case, what components should I be looking to replace, and are there tests I can do to ascertain (or at least narrow down) which components may have failed.

    Spoiler (Highlight to read)
    YOu will need to install the chipset driver software , IMEI software and the usb 3.0  driver.
    The drivers appear to be missing from the support portal.
    I will contact HP  and ask that it be looked into.
    Check the portal everyt few hours to see if the driver download section has been returned to its place.  The link to the  support portal is below.

    Hi,
    What about if you try to install drivers from your product's page?
    http://uk.msi.com/support/mb/Z97-GAMING-5.html#down-driver
    And when exactly it starts to fail to work? Did you try to have OS just installed, restart it and see if it works then? Are you able to determine which driver installation causes USBs to stop working?
    thank you
    i just remove USB3 controller driver and work 
    thank you all :D

  • Thunderbolt display not working on Macbook Pro - previously the display did work

    Thunderbolt display not working on Macbook Pro - previously the display did work

    I have upgraded ML but when the MBP tries to restart with the upgrade the MBP does not restart so I susapect the ML upgrade is not complete ? When you refer to 10.8.5 supplemental is this a separate upgrade ? When I connect the Thunderbolt to the MBP the Thunderbolt charges my MBP & I can play music from iTunes via the Thunderbolt. It is only the display that is not working on the Thunderbolt

  • Touchsmart TX-2 fingerprint scanner and USB ports not working

    Hi everyone,
    Please forgive me if this is in the wrong spot.
    Just sent my laptop (Touchsmart TX-2 1015au) off for a warranty fix - told them the USB ports weren't working on Windows 7, 64 bit. It came back wiped, running on Vista 32 bit and.....with the USB ports not working.
    I figured I'd try to get it working because I need my laptop for uni and can't send it back right now. So I clean installed Windows 7, 64 bit again and its still not working. Did the standard open device manager and uninstall everything under the usb tab. All that has resulted in is causing the fingerprint scanner to stop working (being told that it is not connected) and still no working USB ports.
    All advice really welcome and very much appreciated!
    Thanks in advance

    Hi:
    Should be no problem to get W7 32 bit to work on that model.
    Just use all of the drivers and software from the HP Probook 450 G0 on your model except the Audio, BIOS and firmware files.
    Your model uses the Intel HD graphics driver only.
    The first driver you have to install is the Intel chipset installation utility and then reboot.

    Audio:  Accept the agreement.  Download and install the first driver on the list.

  • USB superdrive not working with Mac Pro

    Is there a trick to getting a USB Superdrive working with a Macpro?
    The drive in the Macpro no longer ejects and have tried connecting the USB drive to both the front and back ports - does it not work with Mac Pros?
    Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.

    I had a problem my superdrive. It would play dvd's and cd's that were already burnt but would not burn blank DVDs or CDs- in the recent past it had no problems burning. In addition, the Finder would not display the superdrive. When I put a blank disc in it would go to Disk Utilities and would not allow burning. With help from Apple I discovered the problem-- The settings in CDS & DVDs had been changed from When you insert a blank DVD/CD "Ask what to do to  to  "GO to Disk Utilities". If this sounds like your problem try changing the settings to this:
    Try going to; System Preferences/ CDs & DVDs
    Change these two settings to this:
    When you insert a blank CD: Ask what to do
    When you insert a blank DVD: Ask what to do
    NOTE: If they are already set to this you probably have a different problem. If they are set to Go to Disk Utilitiy this is probably a solution.
    And
    Then go to Finder Preferences
    Make sure that under "Show these items on desktop:" that the checkbox for CDs, DVDs, and iPods is checked.
    Try to burn the DVD again (reload Disc- perhaps restart) and try again.
    Don't know how these setting changed but they did. It worked for me.

  • Installed Windows & 32 Bit But Drivers and USB ports NOT WORKING.

    I bugh an HP Pavillion TS 14 Notebook that came preinstall with Windows 8.1 64 bit which I hate so wiped the drives and installed Windows 7 32 bit and now I have a big problem.  None of my network drivers work and the 2 uSB ports where I plug my mouse and other SB hardware in no longer work. 
    I did a back up of the SW Set up file that has all of the HP dvers for my laptop but both the network and video divers won't install. And When I try to install the drives I get the eror message saying they are not compatible with this version of Windows.
    I have loked on the HP website under my laptop model which s as above but HP don't do drivers for Windows 7 32 for my laptop. And I have looked on both the Realteck website for both the Realteck ethnet and Realteck wireless network drivers but none of them work or install on my operating system. The video drivers Intel don't work either. So I am really stuck a I cannot go back to Windows 8.1 as though that 32 bit Windows 7 would work on my laptop but most of my drivers are not compatible with the operating sytem And I don't want to install 64 bit Windows as I like 32 bit.
    The drivers that are not working on Windows 7 32 bit are:
    Realteck RTL8188EE 802-11b/gn witeless lan
    Realteck ethnet die and
    Intel High definition graphcs driver 
    Which don't work at all on Windows 7 32 bit as they are 64 bit only drivers.
    So can you please post me a link bth the network and Intel graphics drvers that work with my laptop. As I have tried lots of different Realteck and raphics drivers for Window 7 but NONE of them work on my system. And None of my USB ports are working either. So how do I solve this problem?
