Logitech Momo Wheel not recognized

[VPster]

Recently unplugged wheel from usb and now it isn't recognized. Running El Capitan 10,11

If you were using a USB hub, try connecting it to a USB port on the Mac. At least just to check.

Have you connected it and restarted??

Have you contacted Logitech Support???

Yes to all......have restarted and a post on the Logitech forum remains unanswered. Plugging directly into Mac.

Does it show up under USB devices when running the System Information utility???

where's the System Information utility? (sorry, new to Mac). It doesn't show up in finder "devices"

 

[VPster]

yes, it does show up under the system information utility

 

[pm-r]

yes, it does show up under the system information utility

OK, then at least it hasn't completely died.

I hope you get some help from Logitech soon.

Have tied connecting it powered up and restarting the Mac??

thanks for the effort Patrick. Yes, I've restarted both with it plugged in and without......frustrating.

Not sure if this is applicable but some Logitech devices used to require an additional piece of software to access certain features. I think it was called Logitech Control Center.

Good thinking Slydude, which led me to this:
Logitech Gaming Software
http://support.logitech.com/en_us/software/lgs

which was suggested here with lots of other advice:

For more, maybe try a google search 'Logitech Momo Wheel mac support:

Maybe the OP could have a look and check their System Prefs controls settings if there are any or anything turned Off or disabled.

I use the LCC with my Logitech M705 wireless mouse that does need to be us use to configure any optional adjustments, so maybe similar software is need for the wheel.

Is it possible it could have been killed by just unplugging it if it had been in use???? Sort of like corrupting a drive when it's being written to without unmounting it first????
