F10 2012 Glovebox Port not detecting USB.

What type of music files are you trying to upload? Make sure they are compatible with your CIC iDrive
The CIC with the USB (for data and music import) in the glovebox works slightly different than the BMWs with NBT & the singular USB in the center armrest.
But you’ve gotta help us help you better…we are not there to see what your doing…so without details or steps that you’ve done…we can end up writing a bunch of suggestion that you’ve already tried.
You do know that there are instruction built into iDrive. Right? You have a digital owners manual…it even has a search box that you can type something simple like “import music” and it will take you to the instructions where you can see if you are following the correct steps.
I just did some music uploads the other day….and the process went easier with my 2014 f15 (NBT/USB in center armrest) than it did with my 2013 f06 (CIC w/data USB in glovebox) The CIC/glovebox USB port…the iDrive screen selection required a press of the OPTION button when there was nothing highlighted on the screen (which was different than with the NBT). But when I pressed the OPTION button, the selection to import from the glovebox USB illuminated.
Again, pull up the instructions in the iDrive owners manual so that you know that you’re following the correct order. If that still doesn’t work…give us the steps you’re doing so that we can determine if there’s a step that you’re missing to get where you need to be.
CIC has USB port in the glovebox for data & music file uploads to the car’s hard drive…the port in the center armrest is for playing music from your phone, USB thumb drive, or iPod/iPad or other device that has the proper music files on them:
EDIT from the owners manual:
To import music files to the CIC hardrive from a USB thumb drive, insert thumb drive into glovebox USB port…hit MEDIA button —>SELECT MUSIC COLLECTION —>PRESS OPTION BUTTON —> SELECT IMPORT:
