A few times, but I can't always reproduce it. mac OS Sierra/v10.12's System Report's USB shows a card reader, but this Samsung Galaxy S6 edge doesn't have a card reader slot that I could find. Here are the copied and pasted texts: http://pastebin.com/raw/ZX75tKvc ... However, it says Apple's and not Samsung. Hmm, is this new 15" MBP defected, confused, a bug, or something else? https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/57t9g2/new_mbps_mac_os_sierra_v1012_doesnt_seem_my_usb/d8wag6c suggested I run kextstat command so I did it in both normal and safe mode (still had the same missing Samsung Galaxy S6 edge USB connection problem): http://pastebin.com/raw/iQGRRzSt ... I didn't see anything unusual. I hope those drivers are correct for Mac OS X v10.12/Sierra. :/ In comp.sys.mac.system Ant wrote: > I did some more testings.
