USB connection problems can be caused for many different reasons and, although there are hardware-related failures (which are relatively rare), most USB issues can be traced to driver versions, software and OS settings that can affect connectivity. First, if you are trying to connect a Harmony 900, Harmony 1000 or Harmony 1100, do not try to use MyHarmony. This newer application for configuring Harmony controllers is not compatible with these models. Always make sure that your USB cable is working properly (test with another device like a camera) and, if you are having connection problems, always start up from a fresh, initial state. What that means is that you should pull the battery from the remote, wait a full minute and then re-install the ba​ttery. Note that the battery needs to be well-charged and installed for the H900 or H1000/1100 to be able to USB-connect. For the computer, you should shut it down entirely (full power-off), re-boot and then launch the Harmony Software and USB-connect the remote. This procedure will put the remote and computer into a fresh starting state, which can be important for loading the driver. Sometimes, this is all that is needed. If communication does not start up within 15 seconds or so, try unplugging the cable from the remote, wait 3 seconds and plug it back in. If there is still no change, then do the exact same procedure again (battery pull, shut down, etc), but this time, have the remote USB-connected before the computer is powered-on. If there is still no change, you may be able to USB-connect while the remote is in Safe Mode. Finally, if there is still no change, then you may need to use a new set of drivers. Instructions below are per Logitech's technical support:
Windows 10
Logitech has recently updated the driver for the Harmony 900 and H1000/1100 to be compatible with Windows 10. The version (7.8.0) can be downloaded from here. Note that some users have reported that this version does not work correctly when they tried to update the Harmony 900. We have been successfully using a prior version(7.7.1) under Windows 10 with no problems at all, so you can also try using 7.7.1 if the latest version does not work for you. You can vist this page to download a copy of 7.7.1
​OS X v10.9 (Mavericks), OS X v10.10 (Yosemite), OS X v10.11 (El Capitan) or OS X v10.12 (Sierra)
Logitech has recently updated the driver for the Harmony 900 and Harmony 1000/1100 to be compatible with certain versions of the Mac OS. Try the following instructions as per Logitech. Note that you may need to temporarily change your security settings in order to download the driver patch.
​​
1. Disconnect your remote from your computer and close the Harmony Desktop Software
2. Download the LogitechHarmonyDriverPatch.pkg using Safari Browser by clicking the link below
https://s3.amazonaws.com/migrationbackup/MW_Client/LogitechHarmonyDriverPatch.pkg.zip
3. It will download as a package file
4. Run the package file. This will delete the older driver files and install the newer ones
5. Reboot your Mac to initialize the new drivers
6. Launch the Harmony Software and connect your remote to your Mac
Additional guidance for OS X v10.12 (Sierra)
​
If you are using Mac Sierra, some users have reported that the only way they were able to update their Harmony 900/1100 was to use the Harmony Software ver 7.8.1 and install the legacy Java 6 environment. Apple has provided a download link for the Java 6 installation and you can find it at the top of this Apple technical bulletin: ​https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1572?locale=en_US

These advanced steps are primarily for system administrators and others who are familiar with the command line. You don't need a bootable installer to upgrade macOS or reinstall macOS, but it can be useful when you want to install on multiple computers without downloading the installer each time.

What you need to create a bootable installer

  • A USB flash drive or other secondary volume formatted as Mac OS Extended, with at least 14GB of available storage
  • A downloaded installer for macOS Big Sur, Catalina, Mojave, High Sierra, or El Capitan

Download macOS

  • Download: macOS Big Sur, macOS Catalina, macOS Mojave, or macOS High Sierra
    These download to your Applications folder as an app named Install macOS [version name]. If the installer opens after downloading, quit it without continuing installation. To get the correct installer, download from a Mac that is using macOS Sierra 10.12.5 or later, or El Capitan 10.11.6. Enterprise administrators, please download from Apple, not a locally hosted software-update server.
  • Download: OS X El Capitan
    This downloads as a disk image named InstallMacOSX.dmg. On a Mac that is compatible with El Capitan, open the disk image and run the installer within, named InstallMacOSX.pkg. It installs an app named Install OS X El Capitan into your Applications folder. You will create the bootable installer from this app, not from the disk image or .pkg installer.

Use the 'createinstallmedia' command in Terminal

Create el capitan usb installer from dmg
  1. Connect the USB flash drive or other volume that you're using for the bootable installer.
  2. Open Terminal, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
  3. Type or paste one of the following commands in Terminal. These assume that the installer is in your Applications folder, and MyVolume is the name of the USB flash drive or other volume you're using. If it has a different name, replace MyVolume in these commands with the name of your volume.

After typing the command:

  1. Press Return to enter the command.
  2. When prompted, type your administrator password and press Return again. Terminal doesn't show any characters as you type your password.
  3. When prompted, type Y to confirm that you want to erase the volume, then press Return. Terminal shows the progress as the volume is erased.
  4. After the volume is erased, you may see an alert that Terminal would like to access files on a removable volume. Click OK to allow the copy to proceed.
  5. When Terminal says that it's done, the volume will have the same name as the installer you downloaded, such as Install macOS Big Sur. You can now quit Terminal and eject the volume.
