I attach my USB key I use for the backup of my USB port. It gets
recognized as Device available. But when I want to attach it to my
running sys-usb, it doesn't give me the option.

I tried to create a new AppVM, and it shows me the option to attach
it, but after I try to attach it to the new AppVM, it doesn't attach.

I use the icon Qubes Devices in my panel. My internal microphone has
the option to attach to sys-usb easily and is working.

Sorry, the first sentence should look like that:

I attach my USB key I use for the backup of *my Qubes to my laptop's*
USB port.

Sys-usb handles USB devices by default, so you wouldn't need to attach
anything to it directly. Try using "qvm-usb" in a dom0 terminal instead
to attach it where you need.

I experience (linked or not) a similar pb: all qvm-device
(block/usb.etc) operations are quitted by "ERROR: Got empty response
from qubesd.". Can I restart this service (since it runs apparently
badly). Need I to reboot?

I always reboot when I get that error since it leaves other Qubes
services in an indeterminate state, and I'm not certain just restarting
the qubesd service is enough.
