Enabling USB drivers on a Mac involves a few steps, especially if you are using macOS Big Sur. Let’s go through the process step by step:
1. Uninstall USB drivers from the Shadow app settings:
– Open the Shadow app on your Mac.
– Go to the settings or preferences section of the app.
– Look for an option related to USB drivers or peripherals.
– Click on it and follow the instructions to uninstall the USB drivers.
2. Turn off your Mac:
– Once you have uninstalled the USB drivers, it’s a good idea to turn off your Mac completely.
– Click on the Apple menu in the top-left corner of the screen.
– Select “Shut Down” from the dropdown menu.
– Wait for your Mac to power off completely.
3. Restart in macOS Recovery:
– Press and hold the Command (⌘) + R keys immediately after turning on your Mac.
– Keep holding the keys until you see the Apple logo or a spinning globe on the screen.
– This will boot your Mac into macOS Recovery mode.
4. Open Disk Utility:
– In macOS Recovery mode, you’ll see a window with various options.
– Select “Disk Utility” from the list and click “Continue” to proceed.
– Disk Utility allows you to manage and troubleshoot your Mac’s storage devices.
5. Show all devices in Disk Utility:
– In Disk Utility, click on the “View” menu at the top of the screen.
– Choose the “Show All Devices” option to display all connected devices, including your startup disk.
– This step is important to ensure that you can access and modify the correct device.
6. Identify the name of the startup disk:
– Look for your startup disk in the left sidebar of Disk Utility.
– It is usually listed under the “Internal” section and has the manufacturer’s name and storage capacity.
– Note down the name of the startup disk, as you will need it in the next steps.
At this point, you have completed the necessary steps to identify your startup disk. Enabling USB drivers does not involve any direct action in Disk Utility. However, if you encounter any issues with your USB drivers, you can try repairing disk permissions or verifying the disk using Disk Utility.
Remember, the process of enabling USB drivers may vary depending on your specific needs and the peripherals you are using. It’s always a good idea to consult the documentation or support resources for the specific USB device you are trying to connect to your Mac.
I hope this detailed explanation helps you enable USB drivers on your Mac running macOS Big Sur!
