Port not discovered on Arduino IDE MacBook Pro

hi, I recently got a MacBook Pro 13" and I downloaded Arduino IDE and connected my Arduino uno (I bought 5 months ago) to my computer (because my MacBook doesn't have a usb 3.0 port it has a usb c port instead so also got an adapter to connect my Arduino.)

my problem came when I tried to select a port in Arduino and it said no ports were discovered, I had my Arduino connected and everything the wires are new and there isn't any physical damage on my Uno. I have tried to google the solution but nothing has worked.

via system information on my MacBook I know it recognises my Uno as a device, I have updated the firmware, I have tried different wires, I have plugged it into my pc and it works. I have no clue what's wrong this has been an issue for 2 weeks now. please help...

Intel or M1 MacBook ? which OS version?
genuine Arduino UNO or CH340 based clone?
what cable do you use to connect the Arduino? (photo)

can you show us a screen grab of what is seen?

do you have a USB C ➜ USB 2 hub?

m1 macbook, ventura 13.1, genuine arduino uno
I got my usb c to usb here : https://www.amazon.com.au/Type-C-Adapter-MacBook-Pro2019-Devices/dp/B09JG6NNYB/ref=asc_df_B09JG6NNYB/?tag=googleshopdsk-22&linkCode=df0&hvadid=588458077807&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16843479930226291808&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9069019&hvtargid=pla-1682316420644&th=1


heres a screen shot of what my ide looks like

Hi @ray_r1. In order to gather more information that might help us to troubleshoot your problem, I'm going to ask you to run Arduino IDE from the command line, then share the output.

Please do this:

  1. Open your Applications folder in Finder.
  2. Open the Utilities folder.
  3. Double-click on "Terminal".
  4. Type the following command in the Terminal window:
    "/Applications/Arduino IDE.app/Contents/MacOS/Arduino IDE"
    
  5. Press Enter
  6. Wait for Arduino IDE to finish starting.
  7. Switch back to the Terminal window.
  8. Press +A.
    This will select all the text in the Terminal window.
  9. Press +C.
    This will copy the selected text to the clipboard.
  10. Open a forum reply here by clicking the Reply button.
  11. Click the </> icon on the post composer toolbar.
    This will add the forum's code block markup (```) to your reply to make sure the output is correctly formatted.
    Code block
  12. Press +V.
    This will paste the output into the code block.
  13. Move the cursor outside of the code block markup before you add any additional text to your reply.
  14. Click the Reply button to post the output.

Please let me know if you have any questions or problems while following those instructions.

Update for version 2.0.3 is not available (latest version: 2.0.3, downgrade is allowed).

                                                          

here you go im not entirely sure if all of it loaded.
I also bought another usb c to usb adapter and its still not working.

From this I can see that the serial-discovery tool Arduino IDE uses to get the list of serial ports available on your computer was able to see the built-in system /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port port (that port is only shown in Arduino IDE after you check the "Show all ports" checkbox since it is known that it isn't an Arduino board), but it is not finding any other serial ports.

You say that "system information" shows your board, which indicates that macOS does recognize it, but now we see that Arduino IDE is never being told about the existence of a port for the Uno. So the question is: where exactly along the chain of software between macOS and Arduino IDE is the problem?


I think the next step in troubleshooting the p check whether the low level serial-discovery tool used by the Arduino development software to find ports is behaving and able to see the port of your board.

I'll provide the instructions here:


:exclamation: NOTE: These instructions will not solve the problem. They are only intended to gather more information which might provide a clue that eventually leads to a solution.


During all this, keep an eye out for anything that doesn't match the expected behavior as described at each step.

  1. Open your Applications folder.
  2. Open Utilities.
  3. Double-click on "Terminal".
  4. Run this command:
    ls ~/Library/Arduino15/packages/builtin/tools/mdns-discovery
    
  5. You will now see a list of the versions of serial-discovery which are installed on your computer. Take note of the highest version on the list (recent versions of Arduino IDE 2.x always use the newest one)
    For example, if you see output like this:
    1.2.2   1.3.0   1.3.0-rc1   1.3.1
    
    then the newest version is "1.3.1".
  6. Run the following command:
    ~/Library/Arduino15/packages/builtin/tools/serial-discovery/<newest version>/serial-discovery
    
    (where <newest version> is the version number you found at step 3)
    serial-discovery will now start. There won't be any obvious sign of this other than that there is no longer a command prompt at the cursor in the terminal.
  7. Type the following command:
    HELLO 1 "arduino-cli 0.20.2"
    
  8. Press the Enter key.
    You should now see a response printed exactly like this:
    {
      "eventType": "hello",
      "protocolVersion": 1,
      "message": "OK"
    }
    
  9. Unplug your Arduino board from your computer if you have it plugged in.
  10. Type the following command:
    START_SYNC
    
  11. Press the Enter key.
    You should now see a response printed exactly like this:
    {
      "eventType": "start_sync",
      "message": "OK"
    }
    
    You might also see some additional objects in the output depending on which serial ports are available on your computer.
  12. Plug your Arduino board into your computer.
    You should now see a response printed that looks something like this:
    {
      "eventType": "add",
      "port": {
        "address": "/dev/ttyACM0",
        "label": "/dev/ttyACM0",
        "protocol": "serial",
        "protocolLabel": "Serial Port (USB)",
        "properties": {
          "pid": "0x804e",
          "vid": "0x2341",
          "serialNumber": "EBEABFD6514D32364E202020FF10181E"
        }
      }
    }
    
    This is only an example of what you might see. The output will be different depending on the board you connected.
  13. Unplug your Arduino board from your computer.
    You should now see a response printed that looks something like this:
    {
      "eventType": "remove",
      "port": {
        "address": "/dev/ttyACM0",
        "protocol": "serial"
      }
    }
    
    This is only an example of what you might see. The address field value should be the same as the "add" event you saw when you plugged the board in.

You should continue to see the same results if you repeat steps (10) and (11).

Once you are done with your experiments with the "serial-discovery" tool, follow these instructions to exit:

  1. Type the following command:
    STOP
    
  2. Press the Enter key.
    You should now see a response printed exactly like this:
    {
      "eventType": "stop",
      "message": "OK"
    }
    
  3. Type the following command:
    QUIT
    
  4. Press the Enter key.
    You should now see a response printed exactly like this:
    {
      "eventType": "quit",
      "message": "OK"
    }
    
    You should now be back at the shell command line.

Let me know what you find.


Please let me know if you have any questions or problems while following those instructions.
