Product: kstars

This is not a bug but a solution to USB connection problems.
Since I've been interested in astrophotography, I've encountered USB connection
problems.
I'm on a Mac (and don't want to use Windows) and I've read in forums that USB
connection problems were a "feature" of Apple computers. Why ? Nobody said why.
I've been using several softwares (among them KStars and TheSkyX).
Because these two softwares can manage a lot of devices (scope, dome, cameras,
focusers, guiders...), they are also the place where I've encountered USB
problems.
Sometimes everything was working perfectly, and sometimes NO device could
connect.
On my Mac (MacBook Pro, mid 2014) there are two USB ports, one on each side of
the computer.
I used the one on the left side of the computer.
When for some reason no device could connect to KStars, I swapped to the right
side USB port ... and everything mounted correctly.
I've been told that a similar situation is found on Windows computers.
Now I'm using only the right side USB port and all devices mount correctly and
immediately.
I hope this will help others !
