That is very strange. Have you tried a different USB cable? Also try a different USB port.

The cable has ~ 0 ohm resistance on all wire. On different port the same issue. Would be "USBtiny" seen in the system profiler if D+ and D- is accidentally reversed ? ( i think no)

I'm just trying to think of something. It looks like some kind of a driver issue, but we've seen similar problems where changing the cable or port or connecting through a hub has resolved it.

Not sure what to tell you. It seems to be a thing with your Mac. Have you tried a hub?

Yah we really dont know, we've never seen this on any of our Macs - we can send you a new one or refund, if you like, email support@adafruit - but not sure if that will fix it

I'm hardly an expert here, but I think 'mach-o, but wrong architecture' implies that your Mac is trying to load a driver compiled for a 64-bit system when the OS is compiled to 32-bit.

Which Mac Pro do you have? Which operating system version?

For reference, I'm running a 2012 MacBook Pro on BANNED (10.9.4, 64-bit), and
file /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOUSBLib.bundle/Contents/MacOS/IOUSBLib
...indicates IOUSBLib is available in both 32- and 64-bit versions. As a wild guess, if you have a 2006 model Mac Pro you may be running a 32-bit only system?

BANNED runs only in 64 bit architecture no?

You're right that BANNED is a fully 64-bit OS, and hence only runs on 64-bit systems (though you can run applications in 32-bit mode - Get Info on the application icon and check if that's selected or not). That said, there are hacks to get it running on a 32-bit bootloader for older Mac Pros, which may be what you have.

Certainly, there's something odd about your system. A 2008 Mac Pro used two 2.8GHz Xeons, not a (single?) 2.33GHz model, and the RAM should show as being ECC. I'm also not certain the 6xxx line of Radeon cards were ever used in desktop Macs (iMacs, maybe, but they're certainly not common on Mac Pros).

It looks to me like your system is either a hacked/upgraded 2006/7 Mac Pro, or more likely a hackintosh. I've no issue with either of those approaches, but I've no experience either. I'd guess I'd expect some oddities around 32/64-bit code, but I'm not qualified to troubleshoot them, sorry.
