The latest macOS Sonoma update, which was released by Apple just a few days ago, has reportedly been causing issues for users who rely on USB hubs to connect various devices to their computers. According to numerous reports on online forums and social media platforms, users have been experiencing problems with their USB hubs not being recognized by their computers after installing the update.
Many users have taken to online forums to express their frustration with the issue, with some reporting that their USB hubs are completely unresponsive after the update, while others have experienced intermittent connectivity problems. Some users have even resorted to unplugging and re-plugging their USB hubs multiple times in an attempt to get them to work, but to no avail.
One user, who wished to remain anonymous, reported that they rely on a USB hub to connect their external hard drives, keyboard, and mouse to their MacBook Pro. Since installing the Sonoma update, they have been unable to access any of these devices through the hub, which has severely impacted their ability to work efficiently.
Apple has acknowledged the issue and has stated that they are investigating the cause of the problem. In the meantime, they have advised affected users to disconnect their USB hubs and connect their devices directly to their computers to see if that resolves the issue. They have also recommended reaching out to their customer support team for further assistance.
This issue is just the latest in a series of problems that users have experienced with Apple’s macOS updates in recent years. In 2020, for example, the macOS Catalina update caused compatibility issues with a number of popular third-party apps, leading many users to hold off on updating until the bugs were ironed out.
While it is unclear exactly what is causing the USB hub issues in the Sonoma update, some users have speculated that it could be related to changes in the way the update handles USB connections. Others have suggested that it may be a compatibility issue with certain brands of USB hubs.
In the meantime, affected users are left waiting for a solution to the problem, with many expressing frustration at the lack of communication from Apple about when a fix might be available. As more users continue to report issues with their USB hubs, it is clear that this is a widespread problem that needs to be addressed by Apple as soon as possible.
