Make sure you have the USB stick plugged in securely. No, you don't have to restart your Mac for it to read a USB drive. Also try another USB port.

If you're plugging the USB stick into your keyboard, I suggest using one of the USB ports on the computer itself. The USB ports on the keyboard do not put out as much power, and often causes issues with USB devices that aren't mice.

hi

no it not inserted on the keyboard, it is inserted on the computer port itself, does not read, at all.
