I often have trouble syncing my H2O Ed. 2 and the new Forma to my MacBook Pro 2012. Troubleshooting led me to conclude that the Kobo works consistently when connected to a USB 2.0 port on the Mac. However, the 2012 and later Macs don't have a USB 2.0 port, only USB 3.0. So, I hook up a cheap (whatever I have laying around, even dollar-store) USB 2.0 hub to the MacBook Pro, then the Kobo to the hub using any data-capable USB A to USB micro cable.
