Q: i have problems with connecting a Tolino reader and my Macbook Pro

Tolino actually supports Mac OS X?

If the Talino reader is an app then contact the developer/go to their support site.

Have you tried uninstalling rebooting and reinstalling.

This is the Mac Pro desktop forum. I requested your post be moved to an appropriate forum.

Do you mean you are trying to sync the tablet with your Mac?

Does your wife's MBP have same OSX version as your MBP?

Maybe the usb cable is faulty, have you tried another one?

First try uninstall the app (if there is an app) following the developer's instruction.

Next:

- Try resetting the SMC and NVRAM/PRAM

- If you do not have a backup use disk utility to restore the internal disk to an external disk so you can try to recover data.

Then format the startup disk and do a fresh install of OSX
