This problem is caused by either a software or a hardware
component. Software problem-solving
● Check that your Macintosh supports USB.
● Verify that your Macintosh operating system is Mac OS X
V10.1 or later.
● Ensure that your Macintosh has the appropriate USB
software from Apple.
Hardware problem-solving
● Check that the device is turned on.

● Check that you are using the appropriate high-speed USB
cable.

connected in a row on the chain. Disconnect all of the
devices from the chain and connect the cable directly to
the USB port on the host computer.
