Sequoia and USB Issues

[Rick Cornish]

Don't know if related, but had difficulty with drive not being recognized. Found a suggestion somewhere (maybe here) to change setting System Settings --> Privacy and Security --> Accessories --> Allow Accessories to Connect to "Ask for New Accessories". Disconnected the device, changed the setting, restarted, plugged in drive and responded to prompt. I have not had issue since.

Thanks, CharlzS, I’ll check it out

There is an option to ALWAYS allow. Since my laptop is lives at home and rarely goes with me; is there any reason not to use "always"?

On my system (in Sequoia) there's no menu option for "Accessories" under Privacy & Security. I didn't find Quartet under any of the dozen or so other categories, though I did find Apogee Control 2 (the controller app for Quartet) in the Microphone menu and it was enabled.

Mine was set to "Always" and the thread that I found said to change that - there might be some issue with the Always setting.

Maybe it's just a laptop thing? It's at the bottom of my Privacy and Security settings after FileVault.

You are correct, sir!

Security settings from my MacBook Pro…

As an aside, it was always annoying to me that Mac OS might prevent me from opening a newly installed app-- UNLESS I knew the "cheat code" which is to right-click and choose open from the contextual menu. Now Mac OS has replace this with a new cheat code: go to System Settings/Security & Privacy and scroll to the bottom and choose open anyway.

Me: "Um, so you won't let me. ... but you will let me, if I know the secret ways."

In this case, "the secret way" is to unplug the usb cable from the back of my interface and plug it back in again.
