I use MacOS primarily to develop and do things on (though my desktops are Linux/Windows dual boots). Because of the way I use MacOS sometimes I end up with things that don't happen to many other people.
USB Accessory Popup Disappears[edit]

One of these is that if you connect a USB device, the pop up to allow it to connect may appear and immediately disappear. If this happens, switch to all your other logged-in users and log out and the last logged-in user will get the prompt normally.
