TimeFactor & H9 Control won't Connect

I have had my TimeFactor for over 4 years and it's always been reliable.  Lately, it has a difficult time connecting to my computer through a USB cable to H9 Control on my Mac Mini.  I have updated with the latest firmware and have tried all combinations of connecting and powering up.  Usually I could find some way to get H9 to recognize my timeFactor.  Today, I can't get them to connect at all.  I continually get the following messages.

Communication Error!
An error occurred while communicating with the TimeFactor device <TF-11376>.
The stompbox is not responding.  Please verify that it is still connected.  (Error code MessageConstants:::sm_resonse_timeout)

Device not responding
The device 'TF-11376' is not responding.  Please check your communication settings and/or try restarting your device with hot knob and right footswitch pressed to  clear the system settings.

I have tried all of this and replaced the USB cable.  Any words of wisdom?

Are you using the latest H9 Control?

have you tried clicking "Reset all settings" in H9 Control's Settings page?

What OS do you use on your Mac Mini?

Are you using the latest H9 Control? - I just now upgraded to the most recent H9 Control

have you tried clicking "Reset all settings" in H9 Control's Settings page?  Not Yet...

What OS do you use on your Mac Mini?  IOS  10.15.7...

I will try to connect later this evening and let you know how it goes...

How long should it take to Reset all Settings?  H9 Control says it is "Examining connected device TF-11376" for over 15 minutes?  There is no indication on the TimeFactor that anything is going on.

Well, you can click "Reset all Settings" in demo mode as well.

Does that mean your TimeFactor now connects?

So, I let it go for an hour and then shut down H9 control.  When I brought it back up, it went to the same place but said, I was using an unrecognized TimeFactor.  I signed in and it saved it for me.  What in the world is going on?

Does that mean your TimeFactor now connects?  It sometimes connects for a few seconds then, stops...

Do you use any other MIDI devices? Does TimeFactor connect well if it's the only MIDI device connected?

Also check your Audio MIDI setup and in the MIDI devices remove/reset all Eventide devices and then try connecting again.

I am having the same issue and have tried everything stated. I just updated the pedal.
