Why is my MacBook Air 2013 13" USB Problem - GSM-Forum

papu3090 · 08-09-2020, 01:28

Whenever I plug a iPhone or iPad into my macbook via USB it rapidly connects and disconnects continuously until unplugged and strangely when i connect my note 4 it wont rapidly disconnect and connect but it wont charge but can transfer data the problem has been there since I bought it second hand on eBay more then a year ago. Does anyone know how to fix this ?

I have tried multiple cables and also used multiple genuine cables new and old

I guess you stay on high Sierra, in that case update you os x, or iTunes.

fix with terminal command...

open terminal and type ''sudo killall usbd'' and press enter put your password and check if your connection is good
