Blue Yeti Microphone Not Detected

I Have Blue Yeti Mic That I Got About A Year Ago, It's Been Working Fine Until Two Days Ago When My Mac Mini (2012) Didn't Detect My Mic, I Tried Unplugging The Usb Then Pugging It Back In But No Change, Then I Tried Putting It In The Other Sockets But Again No Change. After That I Tried Plugging It Into My Macbook Air (2011) And Once More No Change. Does Anybody Know How To Fix It? Help Is Greatly Appreciated.

Blue Yeti Microphone-OTHER, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

Have you tried another USB cable?

Have you went to Blue Yeti's support site?

If you go to System Report is anything listed under USB?

It should look like this

That would indicate that likely the mic died.

Does the red light on the mic light?

You can try resetting the SMC and NVRAM/PRAM but I doubt it is the problem since yo have problem with two Macs.
