OS X should automatically do this for you, unless you are trying to look for something specific. There is a file floating around the net, called "MobileDevice.h", that should give you some idea of where to start on checking if a device is inserted into USB (whether it's connected or not).

Here is a link to one place, as there are many others.

I hope this helps, as it has a USB listener, that you may be able to use.
