I just got my micro but when I load up the Arduino environment the only ports available are bluetooth ports and nothing will upload to the micro board. I'm certain I'm missing something very simple and basic here but any help would be greatly appreciated,.
TIA

Nevermind.....tried 2 different USB cables with no luck......tried a third and SUCCESS!!! Alot of those ultra micro mini usb connectors are really bad!!!! All three cables were relatively new.

Re: Arduino micro ports on Mac
You may have gotten a couple of charge-only cables.
Those only have two conductors in them.. VCC and GND... and no data connections at all. They're pretty common with all the devices charging from USB these days.

Re: Arduino micro ports on Mac
thanx...that's good to know. I kind of always assumed that those connectors were used mostly on phonez and cameraz and I just took the data lines for granted.
thanks again,
