So I am having an issue where I connect my Libra colour to my computer via usb (macOS in case it matters) and about every 1/3 to 1/4 times it never shows up. Not even when I go to terminal and I ask it to list all drives connected/mounted to my computer, which has in the past showed me drives that were connected but not mounted (this includes ones that disk utility were not showing). Though on the screen of my kobo it says it is "connected & charged".

It does not seem to matter which cable I use, nor which port I'm using on my computer ('19 MacBook Pro, 16", which has 4 usb-c ports & a headphone jack). I've done multiple factory resets, and done all the moving around, but this problem seems to be persistent no matter what I change or try to do.

Anyone have any insight/advice to help with this?
