I have a MBP 2010. one of the USB ports is acting kind of funny. It will work some of my devices, like my iPad, external hard drive and some USB sticks. when I put my 8gig memory stick, it won't read or even detect it. When I plug my data cable for my phone, it won't even detect it. I don't know what's going on. I tested it out in bootcamp as well. It will detect it, but I won't be able to look at the contents within it.
 
This could be a bad port, but in my experience particular usb devices won't behave well with OSX. But if the same devices aren't working in windows, you may want to get it checked out.
