USB Issue Dear all, I have been experiencing a lot of USB problem. Why Apple is still having so many problem in manage USB connected device. Mac Pro 61, 2 x Mac Pro 3,1, MBP Retina 2015, MBP 2019... Every time a connect a USB key or external USB Disc (with non Apple FS) I have to reconnect several time changing the USB port to make the device visible. Is it possible that Apple is not able to recognize a USB device? I connect an USB key but nothing happens. So a Disconnect the USB not recognized device and an Thunderbold 2 device is automatically unmontend and remounted. Apple... Please hire good programmers and designer. In this manner I think it could be embarrassing... Any suggestion. Some thirty part driver?

2 things, the female usb part is broken, or all your usb's are on ExFat, repair it using disk utility by pressing command then space. Write disk utility and go on that. Then press erase and change it to the top one, hopefully it works, see ya!
