I hope I'm not the only one who doesn't know the answer, but here goes. What is the pram, and how and why would you reset it? Thanks! Marcy

HI all,

This is a bit ot but was mentioned in another thread so I'm putting this out there. usb is primarily software that interacts with the hardware. I don't think installing software or updating your system will kill hardware but it might corrupt the software that manages it. My suggestion is to run the combo update and then run permission repair. if that doesn't work, you could try resetting the pram and if that doesn't work, contact apple or plug ina card reader if you have or can get one and see if that works, if it does, it is not the usb that is at fault. You might actually try resetting the pram before doing the combo update.
