You are not alone in this USB device recognition problem. The only
advice I can give is to unplug, wait fifteen seconds, then replug the
device. Do this until you give up or the device is recognized.

Alternatively, choose another USB port.

In the event that the device is recognized, do not remove the device
from that port unless the computer is shut down. Then, do not replug
the device to the computer unless the computer is shut down.
