I don’t know where in Macs the usb connections are located. This is from Apple…
If you’re using usb, I use lsusb, which I’m sure is available for the Mac, it’s standard Linux fodder, but might need to be installed on the Mac. This will allow you to see what’s connected, that the machine recognizes, to the usb ports.
There is the system log file via dmesg, this appears to be available on your mac.
Both of these are command line queries…
I use
sudo dmesg | tail
most of the time. It’s a system file, so you need to be or have root access (sudo) the output of dmesg is piped to tail witch only outputs the last so many lines. If you plug it in then use the command, it might tell you more information.
@JohnJohn has access to a Mac and can probably assist in this area…
I’m trying to determine if it’s a driver problem… which sounds most likely. This post may also be of benefit… A lot of these devices use this driver.
sudo dmesg | tail
