Make sure you're running a driver that's the most current and that's appropriate for your particular USB device, then see if there's a specific dismount or disconnect sequence necessary for removing the device, then — if the problem persists – check with whomever has provided the USB driver for suggestions.

The FTDI drivers may or may not work with other USB-to-serial chips, as well. If you're using the Sparkfun FTDI widget or some other widget with the FTDI chip, check directly with the widget vendor.


If you're using OS X 10.9 Mavericks or 10.10 Yosemite or later, see the caveat mentioned at the Sparkfun site, too.
