I just don't understand the difference between the USB 3 Camera Adapter and the SD Card Camera Reader.

    Troubles with USB-C to HDMI adapter on the 2017 iMac

    I recently bought a USB-C to HDMI 2.0 adapter from Club 3D (the CAC-1504) but when i plug it into my iMac, nothing happens. No screen flickering or anything. It's not a faulty adapter since it's working perfectly fine (4k@60Hz) on my XPS 15 laptop. In the System Report thingy, it's listed under...

    Scaling issues with DP->HDMI 2.0 - Mini mid-2011

    I am using an old mini mid-2011 sporting Sierra 10.12.5 for app development, and have a newer 4K monitor I'd like to take advantage of. I purchased this adapter to enable up to 4K 30hz.

    I need to connect a classic Apple Studio Display (clear acryl-plastic case) to a new MacBook 13 (USB-C port.) I have done research on it but I had run up against a block, lack of facts. I guess I could get Apple's USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter relying in good faith upon the quality of...

    Is there any usb-c to usb-a (3.1 gen 2) adapters for the Late 2016 MBP?

    Currently on the Apple website they list their usb-c to standard usb-a adapter to only support usb 3.1 gen 1 speeds (5mb/s). Is there any other adapters on the market that support gen 2 speeds (10mb/s) as the usb-c port on the new Macbook Pro 2016 is listed to be gen 2 compatible? Thanks.

    Where is the 3.5mm TO Lightning Headphone Adapter?

    Where is the 3.5mm (source) to Lightning (headphone) adaptor? I kept shaking my head during the keynote, then went online to check things out. No way to use your new Lightning headphones with your old Apple gear like iPods and Macs, or anything else, all but guaranteeing that a customer needs...

    Looks pretty thin to be housing a DAC and an amp.

    No iPhone 7 Compact UK Plug, still exclusive to Apple Watch?

    The Apple Watch mains plug adapter is a work of genius, all three pins are connected so that folding one folds them all, the UK plug is finally compact! Why have they seemingly ignored this feat of engineering and shipped the iPhone 7 with the old 'fixed shape' plug?
