Description:
Some Mac users are experiencing USB connectivity problems in macOS Sequoia, 
with devices not being detected, or taking a long time to connect.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

If youve recently upgraded your Mac to the freshly released macOS 15 , you 
might have run into issues while attempting to use USB devices. 

If so, apparently youre not alone  other Mac users are facing the same kinds 
of problems when connecting USB devices. 

 Apple Insider notes that a number of users are experiencing drive 
connectivity issues, and when plugging in USB sticks or chargers into the 
Macs ports, the system isnt detecting these devices right away. Sometimes 
theyre taking a considerable time to connect, and sometimes macOS 15 isnt 
finding them at all, worryingly. 

As you may recall, macOS Sequoia was released earlier this month, on 
September 16, and of course its not a surprise that when a major release of 
an operating system comes along, there are teething problems. This appears to 
be one of them, at least going by multiple reports on the likes of Reddit and 
Apples support forum, and there are other issues besides as highlighted in 
our roundup of common problems with macOS 15 . (Image credit: Apple) Where

Apple Insider further observes that the USB-related bug is occurring on 
different Mac models, including the MacBook Air and iMac, and on devices 
equipped with different processors, including M1, M2, and M3 Apple chips. 

That said, the tech site also notes that it wasnt able to reproduce the 
problem on any of its devices, and that the malfunctioning USB issue doesnt 
look to be that widespread - though certainly some of those upgrading to 
macOS 15 are affected, going by the mentioned reports. 

Thus far, Apple hasnt made any comment on the matter, and were still waiting 
to see if the company will respond to these reports. 

If youve been affected by misbehaving USB devices with macOS Sequoia, your 
best bet is to reach out to Apple support, describe what youre experiencing, 
and, hopefully, Apple will acknowledge you, and maybe even prepare a fix in a 
future macOS 15 update. 

The more reports (especially with evidence like screenshots) that Apple 
receives about a specific problem, the more likely it is to respond and 
deploy a fix. YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE... macOS 15 Sequoia problems: how to fix
