Connecting Android phone to OSX mac computer

I should note that I have no idea why this worked, but it did.

I made a partition in my computer's memory. Then I installed a separate version of OSX. When I booted to that partition the Robin connected flawlessly. I thought that it would only work in the partition I created, however, when I booted back to the default partition, the Robin connected.

For perspective, here is a list of the things I tried before I got it to work:

• Fast booting the Robin.


• Rebooting the Robin.


• Wiping the cache of the Robin.


• Restarting my computer.


• Clearing the SMC and NVRAM of the computer.


• Turning on usb debugging.


• Switching between usb modes in developer options.


• Probing the usb ports in my computer (software).


• Disconnecting and connecting the usb several times out of pure frustration.


• Connecting the Robin to another computer (it connected).


• Uninstalling Android file transfer and reinstalling it.

Hopefully one of these things will work, if someone has this problem in the future.
