Reset USB Devices with USB Prober
If you have USB devices connected to your Mac and they mysteriously stop responding, try un-plugging and re-plugging in the device's cable. If that doesn't fix the problem, try running USB Prober (free) to reset unresponsive USB ports. If you've installed Apple's Xcode developer utilities, you'll find USB Prober in Developer/Applications/Utilities. If not, you can install the utilities from the installer discs that shipped with your Mac, or go to the Apple Developer Web site. You'll have to sign up for a free online member account, but then you'll be able to download the Xcode tools.
