After i updated to macos Ventura,everytime i connect a usb device i keep getting the message " allow accessory to connect". Unfortunately i cannot change this to "always",because that option is grey.

Hi eddy_y2k,


If your Mac is an Apple Silicon model this can be expected behavior. That said, you can tweak this option if you'd like. Check the settings below:


"If you prefer not to manually approve new devices every time you connect them, you can change this setting.

  1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Settings, then click Privacy & Security  in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.) 
  2. Click the pop-up menu next to “Allow accessories to connect,” then choose “Automatically when unlocked” or “Always.”


Cheers!
