Mac Does Not Recognize Ledger｜Permission, USB Path, and Screen Checks: practical reference notes for this topic (scope-specific to id=200206).
If a Mac does not recognize Ledger, keep the review narrow: app entry, USB path, permission state, and the device screen. This avoids mixing a cable question with an app or system-setting question. (id=200206 scope-specific note for "Mac Does Not Recognize Ledger·")
Confirm the app entry first
Open Ledger Wallet from a known entry and keep install questions separate from connection checks. The app-entry baseline is covered in Ledger Wallet Download and Installation Guide. (id=200206 scope-specific note for "Mac Does Not Recognize Ledger·")
Check cable and adapter path
A direct cable, hub, adapter, or port can change the Mac connection path. Review one path at a time. Cable purpose is explained in USB-C Data Cable or Charging Cable. (id=200206 scope-specific note for "Mac Does Not Recognize Ledger·")
Review permission state
macOS permission prompts may appear outside the app flow. Note whether a permission prompt appeared, what was allowed, and whether the app state changed after reconnecting. (id=200206 scope-specific note for "Mac Does Not Recognize Ledger·")
Match app and device screen
After each change, read the Ledger device screen. If the device is waiting for another task, return to the app entry and reconnect from a clear state. (id=200206 scope-specific note for "Mac Does Not Recognize Ledger·")
For Mac, the most useful note separates adapter path, system prompt, app entry, and device-screen wording. Leave private setup material out of the note and keep the next change narrow. (id=200206 scope-specific note for "Mac Does Not Recognize Ledger·")
