Kobo reader not showing up in Finder on MacBook Air

My Kobo reader is recognized and charges, but does not show up in finder. My MacBook is plugged in (thanks to the previous comment) and I have tried different cables and different ports. Not just my reader, but my hubby's the same thing happens. Anybody have any ideas?


MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.4

I was having trouble with this, but I was able to find where mine was hidden- on the left side of the finder window, in the grey rectangle, there is a heading called "locations". When I hovered over that, it popped up an arrow that I could click. It then expanded that section and my kobo was there. But it wouldn't show up in my spotlight search.

I am looking for a solution to the same problem. I have tried everything what was suggested from Kobo Helpdesk (including trying another USB cable, restarting, doing a factory reset Kobo and also reseting MacBook's USB ports. When I connect the devices with a cable, there is a window on the reader which states "connect" but when I hit it, Kobo e-reader does not show up neither in Finder nor Adobe Digital Editions... Any advice what to do? Using MacBook Air 2019 and Sonoma 14.5.
