Thanks for the share. I've already seen that article and used it.

  • did not see the trust this computer alert
  • unplugged all usb devices from the computer except this.
  • tried both sides of the laptop usb port
  • tried another iPad Pro which worked which showed the above indicator of a connection


  • used the system information and it didn't show any device on USB.
