Q: Macbook air can't connect External hard drive, needs restart.
Hello. I have macbook air 13'' 2015 running latest el capitan
My problem is, when i just start Mac, my mac can connect my external hard drive (ntfs). But when i unplug it and use my mac for a time (5-6 hours normal usage and 5-6 hours screen brightness 0(zero-not sleeping everything is on just brightness zero) without external hard drive and then replug my hard drive again, surprise it can no longer connect to my hard drive and i need to restart my mac in order to make my hard drive recognized by mac.
Ps.
I use *tuxera ntfs for mac* in order to make my mac read ntfs formatted hard drive
I don't sleeps or shut down my mac.
I suspect there may be a some kind of sleeping option in usb hubs?
I hope i have explained my problem, thanks for your efforts and answers.
MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
