whodidat Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 My install works like that. Try having the usb devices connected and on when you boot up. u can then disconnect and reconnect them as u like (same port only though).... let me know if this works for u Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/135648-usb-disks-dont-work/#findComment-961194 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdudis Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 This is a common problem with 10.5.x. What you have to do is find IOUSBFamily.kext and IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext from OS X version 10.4.8 and replace the corresponding current kexts (you can use Kext Helper for the process, just backup the kexts, though, just in case). Should be OK with the next reboot. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/135648-usb-disks-dont-work/#findComment-961420 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TauTau Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 My Disks show only occasionally up, is that the same Problem? It's different with different disks though, I have for example a 1TB WD Disk that always shows up, and a 750GB WD disk and a 2,5" Disk which I both need to switch on/off very often until they show up. Funny thing is it's the same on my MBP, but not on Windows...

whodidat Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 found this nice little thread that fixed my above mentioned issue using that "search" key up top http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=95789 My Disks show only occasionally up, is that the same Problem?

TauTau Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 That's what I thought too first, but it's 2 different drives (a 3,5" and a 2,5"), and both work instantly every time on Windows... Just not on OSX (and I mean each OSX since the same is on the Macbook Pro). But I will try things from that thread you posted, just to be sure (thanks for searching btw ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/135648-usb-disks-dont-work/#findComment-961957 Share on other sites More sharing options...
