Hello all: For the past two days, I have attempted to connect an Actilino Braille display for the purpose of transferring BRF files to read on the Actilino. However, each time I connect it to my 2014 Macbook Air, I receive a “USB accessories disabled; remove the USB device which is drawing too much power”. I’m paraphrasing. I’ve tried connecting with the MacBook and the Actilino with and without AC power. I tried simply ignoring the message and checking system information to see if the Actilino was being read as an available device. Nope. Any ideas would be appreciated. Headed to the Apple store later for something entirely different, but I’m not sure if they can help with this: the question is: is this a glitch in the MacBook or the Actilino, or neither? Can’t see how it’s user error, but . . . you never know. :) It was also suggested that I hold down left shift, control, option, and the power key for at least ten seconds with the MacBook plugged in and all USB devices unplugged, then try again. No luck. I’ve tried rebooting. I’ve checked my disk. I suspect it isn’t worth attempting resetting the PRAM, but what do I know? I’m not nearly as technically savvy as a bunch of you folks. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Christine
P.S. Otherwise, after a two-and-half-month quest to find the Braille display which is ideal for me, Actilino fits the bill . . . so I would love to resolve this soon. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
