My macbook will not recognise USB devices, Help!

My macbook pro with OS Yosemite will not recognise USB devices such as tom toms, digital voice recorders or cameras. I find this frustrating as I can not update or download to my macbook. Any ideas on what I can do?

Have you checked the settings in FINDER PREFERENCES?
Have you checked with the respective vendors to determine compatibility with your MBP?
Ciao.

Windows XP does not recognise USB devices after installing itunes 7.2

After downloading itunes 7.2 my PC no longer recognises my ipod nano (2G, 2Gig). Uninstalling itunes 7.2 and reverting to a previous version makes no difference.
On top of this my PC no longer recognises my external USB 2.0 HDD.
Uninstalling and allowing windows to rediscover USB devices \ hubs etc as per MS recomendations has not resolved my problem
Both devices function with no issues when plugged into my laptop.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this will be greatly received!
Many thanks

Power down and wait... does not solve the "USB Device Not Recognized" problem in my desktop running XP Professional.
All five USB Root Hubs are stucked. I tried uninstalled them all and let XP to find new devices but afterwards the problem still remains.
By the way, I have a thousand songs stored in the iPod Nano (2nd generation). Will iPod reset erase all my songs?

13" MacBook Pro 2012 Not Recognising USB Devices on OSX 10.9.1

Hello,
Since updating to OSX 10.9.1, one of the USB ports of my MacBook is not always recognising devices (external HDDs and Logitech Unifying Receiver), often when the other port is used.
It is the port on the right. First I noticed this problem with the Logitech Unifying Receiver, I thought perhaps it is because of the driver, but today I had to plug in my external HDD several times to get recognised and mounted. When not recognised, the Logitech Unifying receiver is not even listed in System Information, and HDDs are not listed in Disk Utility.
I had no issue with using both USB ports prior to OSX 10.9.1.
Anyone else is facing this problem?
Thank you.

Hi AMDeeb,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If USB devices are not being recognized reliably by your MacBook Pro, start with resetting the NVRAM:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R.
You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
You can find more information about this troubleshooting step here:

'Windows does not recognise USB'

Portege R700-17Z bios not recognising USB devices

Hi,
I'm after some advice about a problem I'm having with my R700, I can't get the laptop to recognise USB hard drives at the boot stage. I'm trying to use Acronis to create an image as I have 40 of these laptops.
The USB CD rom drive is recognised, and so is a Corsair USB pen (which unfortunately isn't big enough), but I have three USB hard drives (a Freecom Tough Drive, Buffalo MiniStation and a Western Digital Passport) and none of them are recognised by the BIOS. USB legacy emulation is enabled.
Am I missing something?
Thanks, Karen

In the past many people have noticed the same problem. External HDD cannot be used as bootable device. Paolo is right, you can use USB stick, USB optical disc drives or old USB floppy disc drives.
In my opinion you should create recovery DVD using Acronis and use this disc for OS installation.

IPod Nano: Error Message "The USB device has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it"

Hi everyone, I just received 2 brand new iPod Nanos for my kids for Christmas, thought I'd be smart and sync them both now before wrapping them so I don't have to be messing around with them on the day. One synced without a problem, then using the same cable, same computer, same USB port, the 2nd one came up with "The USB device has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it" I've tried restarting my computer, unplugging and reinserting the USB. Is there anthing else I can try before returning it? Thanking you for any help.

I have solved my problem, I ended up ringing Apple and got an awesome lady who told me to reset it by pressing the sleep button and menu button together for about 10 seconds and once it actually turned on for the first time the computer then recognised it, so it's all good, :-) Thank you lovely lady!

WHY, when I have nothing plugged in does Windows flag up a USB device that is does not recognise?

Latest Initrd not recognising USB storage devices?

Just installed 2.6.30 with all the necessary files. Everything seemed fine, except for one thing: my external USB hard drive is no longer recognised on boot. Here is my fstab and my mkinitcpio.conf.
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs rw,noexec,nosuid 0 0
#/dev/cdrom /media/cd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
#/dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /media/fl auto user,noauto 0 0

UUID=4eddd177-23f6-49ab-a8ad-d3e1303133e0 / ext4 defaults 0 1
UUID=ED83-B8D4 /media/flash vfat rw,user,noauto 0 0
#UUID=ac46c6ae-d9eb-47d4-809b-19a2484b3133 /iomega ext4 rw,noexec,nosuid 0 1
UUID=ac46c6ae-d9eb-47d4-809b-19a2484b3133 /media/iomega ext4 rw,user,noauto 0 0
UUID=da9e741f-3525-47c6-8c7f-edf1ded00e7a swap swap defaults 0 0
As you can see from this, I originally had my external usb drive mounted on /iomega @ boot. However, since that no longer works, I have changed it to /media/iomega and let HAL mount it automatically when I fire up GNOME (the same way I have my flash drive set up). I used the original line with 2.6.29 with no problems.
The strange thing is, the device is there, because, when it fails, I go into single user mode, remount / read-write and then run mount -a and the device appears with no errors. If I change the line so it doesn't do an fsck on boot, it doesn't mount the device, but I do get an error saying the device is not there. I can then mount it manually at the command prompt.
The device is shown in /etc/blkid.tab and in /dev/disk/by-uuid.
# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES=""
# BINARIES
# This setting includes, into the CPIO image, and additional
# binaries a given user may wish. This is run first, so may
# be used to override the actual binaries used in a given hook.
# (Existing files are NOT overwritten is already added)
# BINARIES are dependancy parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=""
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in anyway. This is useful for config files.
# Some users may wish to include modprobe.conf for custom module options,
# like so:
# FILES="/etc/modprobe.conf"
FILES=""
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'modload' may be used in place of 'udev', but is not recommended
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
# This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
# No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS="base"
# This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
# work as a sane default
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems"
# This is identical to the above, except the old ide subsystem is
# used for IDE devices instead of the new pata subsystem.
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide scsi sata filesystems"
# This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
# No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS="base udev pata scsi sata usb filesystems"
# This setup assembles an pata raid array with an encrypted root FS.
# Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H raid' for more information on raid devices.
# HOOKS="base udev pata raid encrypt filesystems"
# This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
# HOOKS="base udev usb lvm2 filesystems"
HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata usb keymap filesystems"
# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. With kernels earlier than
# 2.6.30, only gzip is supported, which is also the default. Newer kernels
# support gzip, bzip2 and lzma.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
This is essentially the same as I had it in 2.6.29. I did initially use LZMA, since that gives slightly faster compression & decompression, but changed it back in case it was a timing issue (and rebuilt initrd). No joy. I also tried usbdelay=10 on boot, but again no difference.
This isn't exactly a "show-stopper", since the device functions normally otherwise and everything else is fine, but it is annoying. I would much rather have this device available automatically on boot, so that it gets checked when the max mount count comes up.

This was the bug update I received today:
FS#15282 - [mkinitcpio] Latest initrd not recognising usb storage devices?
User who did this - Thomas Bächler (brain0)
You can never rely on external hard drives to show up "in time".
The difference was that adding the "usb" hook to mkinitcpio used to add a 6 second delay on boot by default, this doesn't happen anymore. I think external drives simply don't belong in fstab, because there's too many possible race conditions. If you insist, you can try to force the usb storage driver to scan for devices sooner after detection, see the delay_use parameter to the usb-storage module.
You're going to have to modify the delay_use parameter to get it to work. Be prepared for race conditions, though. I didn't bother myself as it wasn't a show stopper for me, so I've advised that it can be closed as a non-bug.
ETA: usbdelay=10 doesn't work as that flag is apparently no longer recognised for some reason.
ETTA: I've always used UUID in the fstab because udev can remap devices on boot (I've had fstab not recognising devices because of this).
In case some people don't know, to see what the uuid for a device is, use the following:
sudo tune2fs -l <device-name>
