Apple - iPhone 7 won't charge from my MacBook Pro

Running this in terminal worked for me: (it will ask for your user's password)

sudo killall -STOP -c usbd

This pauses the troublesome process instead of killing it altogether like other answers suggest. The difference is that macOS won't try to reopen it automatically and cause the issue again.

Running sudo killall -CONT usbd will resume the process, should anything require it.

Tested on: iPhone 7 (iOS 11) + MacBook Pro Late 2013 (10.13.6)

Besides software issues, there's a good chance that the cable is at least partially damaged (or not genuine Apple) so it might work for dumb power chargers but not with a MacBook that also relies on the USB data pins.

Once I force-quit the process "usbd" this problem went away.

Open Activity Monitor -> View -> All Processes -> Search for usbd -> Double click -> Quit -> Force Quit

Here are a couple of manual pages on the usbd process, for more information:

• http://www.manpagez.com/man/8/usbd/

• https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=usbd&sektion=8&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+5.4-RELEASE

This happened to me for the longest time.

How I Fixed It:

Settings > Network For me, there was one titled 'Thunderbolt Bridge' Remove it

(Click the lock and enter your admin password, now you can hit the minus sign - for that connection.)

Then you should be all set.

On a MacBook Pro, Mid 2015 but should be a universal problem.

Maybe it has something to do with XCode like the some of the other people above were saying.
