How to fix it
If your computer is not recognizing the USB connection it could be one of a few things:
There is a loose connection somewhere
The USB cable is faulty
There is a compatibility issue with the SD card
There in confusion as to where to find the camera or SD card contents on the computer
There is a fault with the camera itself.
Please try the following steps:
If using a HERO3+ or older, be sure Wi-Fi is OFF before plugging the camera into the computer
Be sure that the camera is powered on when it is plugged in, and showing the USB symbol on the front LCD screen, indicating the proper connection to the computer
Try removing and reinserting the USB cable into the camera and computer, ensuring that both ends are fully inserted and secure. Note that you do have to give a little extra push to have the USB cable click into place when connecting to the camera.
Try restarting the computer and reconnecting the camera, and if this does not help and you have access to another computer, try the additional computer as well. Sometimes, leaving the camera plugged in for awhile will allow it to successfully establish a connection." from [https://gopro.com/support/articles/camera-not-recognized-plugged-computer-usb|here.]
