Nuvi Usb Driver For Mac
I am running OSX 10.58. I keep my systems, Mac, PC, and Linux current with the latest updates. Recently I attempted to add some POIs to my Nuvi 650 using Google Maps and the Garmin plugin for Firefox. This has always worked for me but this time it could not recognize my Nuvi. I tried the POI uploader. I tried the Web Updater.
Checked my other USB devices thinking my USB may have failed on my Imac. They all work. Printer works, Logitech headset and mike work. Then I tried plugging in my USB card reader which I use to upload pictures to my Imac. No dice there either.
So, USB printer works. USB headset works. But, no external storage devices seem to work. Next I plugged in my USB external hard drive.
That works instantly. The system recognizes it in a second. Now it appears that only solid state storage devices such as my Garmin, SD Cards, Micro SD Cards, are not recognized. Help please Mac experts.

Help please Mac experts. Have you tried another cable? Printers and external drives normally use a different cable than one ending with the mini USB. I am more puzzled.
Tried another cable. The new cable worked fine with my micro sd card. I copied data from it to my desktop.
Ejected it properly and then plugged it into my Nuvi. The Nuvi shows the computer network connection display on the screen but the IMac never detects it. I unplug the Nuvi and plug the micro SD card back in and instant connection. Is there a specific USB driver for the Garmin?

Clearly the Garmin thinks it is connected to a computer but the computer does not see the Garmin. I should add that everything works perfectly on my Windows machine. So, it is not the Nuvi because with my WinXP machine it detects fine and I can perform any data transfer functions with it. So the problem is clearly with my IMac. Reinstalled Garmin Web Updater thinking it might install a USB driver. Still no joy. Web Updater shows 'Please ensure that your device is connected and turned on and try again.'
To summarize, now my Imac can detect SD cards but it cannot detect my Nuvi. My Windows machine works perfectly with the Nuvi. I reinstalled all of the Garmin software packages including the Firefox plugin. I tried different cables. The problem seems to be some sort of USB driver or other software that is no longer compatible with OSX 10.5.8.
I think the problem could be related to a recent upgrade of OSX but that is just a hunch. Any other suggestions greatly appreciated. Getting in over my head now. Ran the Garmin GPS JsUnit Test Suite.
It is part of the Garmin API developer suite. It seems to test the interconnectivity of the system with the Garmin Javascript code. As I said, I am in over my head here. But, none of these tests failed as you can see below. Remember, everything works fine on my Windows machine so there is no problem with the Nuvi.

I tried two and they did not work. Finally I decided to take the cable from the machine that worked with Windows and transfer it to the Mac.
So, I had to try THREE cables to get one that worked. Standard trouble shooting would have stopped with one and checked off the cable as not a problem. Coming from an IT background I know how difficult diagnosing these problems can be. One has to be almost a Sherlock Holmes to find the solution. Thanks to all who responded.
I hope our dialogue will be useful to someone else. That is why I always take time to summarize the issue. My IMac stopped detecting my Garmin a few weeks ago. I just did not have time to trouble shoot it. This week i did. First I tried restarting the computer. I also tried resetting the PRAM.
Command+option+P+R held down while powering up from a cold start. Release when you hear the startup sound. That gained me access to card readers etc. But not the Garmin device.
Then I tried all of the USB ports on the computer itself, not a hub. No joy there.
I tried connecting the Garmin device to my Windows machine and it worked. So, I knew it was not the Garmin device itself. Then I tried two cables and was about to give up.
I read the follow ups here about trying different cables and though that to totally eliminate cables as the problem I should try one that was known to work even if it worked on a Windows machine. Problem solved.
Selecting 'About This Macintosh' and then 'more info' brings up the hardware profiler which can show you if your device is seen by the computer and what it thinks it is. Another useful tool is the 'console' application which you can use to view the various logs - when a USB device is plugged in its shown in the log. The terminal application is great to learn, because then you can access a very large number of very useful tools like for example, 'lsof' which means list of open files. (usage is 'sudo lsof', because it needs your password) and dmesg which shows you the hardware messages since the last boot.
If you install the free apple developer tools (a huge download, but you get a lot of useful stuff) there are several tools you can use to analyze the USB situation. You can then trace the communication over the port. Often then you can see what's going on. The free network analyzer 'Wireshark', will, I think, now troubleshoot USB as well as a lot of other kinds of communications.
It is a free download at wireshark.org. You can also use it to figure out what is happening on your net connection. Please, do yourself, your family, and everyone else a big favor by making sure nobody else gets tripped up by it again! Cut off one or both ends, cut it in the middle, then throw it away (in a recycle bin if appropriate), but don't toss it out intact! Someone else may pick it up and go through the same problems.
One of the late analog electronics design greats, Bob Widlar, on discovering a flaky component, cable, or the like would take it to the vise on his workbench, place the offending item on the anvil part of the vise, and pound it to smithereens. This process, Widlarizing, has many benefits: (1) that item is not going to fool you or anyone else again, (2) other similar items are put on notice of their fate if they screw up, and (3) you feel better afterwards.

Whatever you do, don't just put the cable down somewhere. It WILL bite you or someone else in the. in the future.
USB-C describes the shape and style of a port on your computer and the connectors that you can plug into the port. USB-C ports look like this: Several different data transfer standards, like USB 3 and Thunderbolt 3, can flow through a USB-C port and connector. You can also connect your computer's AC power adapter to a USB-C port with a.
USB-C ports are reversible, so you don't have to worry about which side of the connector is up when you plug it in. These Mac computers have Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports that support USB 3.1 Gen 2 and Thunderbolt 3:. iMac Pro (2017).
iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017). iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2017).
iMac (21.5-inch, 2017). MacBook Pro (2016 and later) These Mac notebooks have USB-C ports that support USB 3.1 Gen 1:. MacBook (2015 and later) You can use your USB 3 devices with the above Mac models using an.
Try these tips if a USB 3 device doesn't activate or appear on the USB 3 bus:. Be sure you've installed the latest software updates available for your computer. To check, choose App Store from the Apple menu and see if any updates are available. Sometimes unplugging and plugging the device back in can resolve the issue. Try plugging the device into another USB port on the computer. Check to see if a firmware update is available for your device from the manufacturer.
If the device came with an AC adapter, use it. Restart your computer. Try a different USB 3 cable.
Try a different USB 3 hub. Some USB 3 devices can generate radio frequency interference that can cause Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices operating in the 2.4GHz band to have issues communicating with your computer. Here are some tips to avoid this issue:. If your USB device has a cable long enough that you can move the device, place it away from your Mac—and make sure not to place it behind your Mac, or near the hinge of its display. The antennas for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are located there, and USB 3 devices placed there might interfere with your wireless connections.
If you're using adapters or dongles on a Mac computer with Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports, plug them into the front port on the left side of your Mac, or into the ports on the right side (if your computer has them). These ports are the farthest away from the antennas, making interference less likely. To avoid interference on the 2.4GHz band using Wi-Fi, try using the 5GHz band instead. You can change this on your wireless base station. Bluetooth always uses 2.4GHz, so this alternative isn't available for Bluetooth.
