[QUOTE="stefanmaine, post: 1828532, member: 197051"] iMac with OS 10.12.6. Two different USB flash drives in different USB ports do not display in Finder windows' Sidebar. USB port works fine (the keyboard typing this question is plugged into a USB port). The flash drives appear on the Desktop, and in Save dialog boxes. Right clicking on them displays the normal options (Eject, Encrypt, Copy, Quick Look). So, the iMac is seeing the flash drives, and they do work properly. And at Finder>Preferences>General and at Finder>Preferences>Sidebar>Devices, "External disks" is checked. At Applications>Utilities>System Information>Hardware, USB appears in the list. I ran Disk Utility>External>USB>First Aid. Have I missed something ... like an ON/OFF switch somewhere? Thank you. [/QUOTE]
