    USB 2/3 hub for MBA without other ports?

    So, I'm feeling confused. I going to need to be able to connect about 7 old style usb 2/3 devices to a new MBA M2. The type of devices will be wired keyboard/mice, printers, flash drives and bus powered HDD's. Can I just buy any random USB2/3 hub and use a USB to USB-c adapter to connect the...

    Asus ProArt Thunderbolt Monitor PA32UCX with M1 Mac Mini

    I’ve had this monitor for quite some time, but I’ve always used it via HDMI or DisplayPort, which meant running a separate cable to the host for the integrated USB3 hub. Now that I have an M1 Mac Mini, I figured it’s a good time to actually try using the thunderbolt capability — one cable for...

    Card Reader mounting on 10.15.7

    I own a mid-2012 Macbook. Updating to Catalina 10.15.7 has disabled mounting of my card reader plugged into the USB slots with a CF express card in it. ALL other external disks mount normally. The card reader does NOT appear in disk utility, resetting SMC and PRAM does nothing. I even...

    Air M1 USB over T3 Issues

    We are using USB 1.1 and 2.0 HID protocol sensors connecting via USB-A and USB-C hardware. These work great on all current devices including the DTK using adapters, where necessary.

    Ingesting video from a USB C SSD on a 2015 MBP with no USB C port

    Im about to get delivery of a Black Magic pocket 4k that records to an SSD. The SSD is connected by USB C but my MacBook only has thunderbolt 2 and USB 3 ports. I know you can get adaptor cables but is this all just snake oil here. Has anyone actually done it and got it to work successfully...

    Thunderbolt 2 - USB-A adapter/cable

    Hello all, Does anybody know if: Thunderbolt 2 to USB-A cables ever existed? I can't find any online and that seems strange. There a plenty of Thunderbolt 3 to USB A cables but I can't find anything for thunderbolt 2. I want one because I've already used up my two USB A ports on my MacBook...

    CPU usage, USB vs. Thunderbolt

    Comrades, I have a Focusrite Scarlett 1st generation, and am bugged by the latency while tracking, so I am thinking of upgrading. I know that the 2nd generation Scarlett has considerably less latency, but am pondering digging deep in my pockets and go Clarett (Thunderbolt). Not just for the...

    I am running 10.11.5 on a CMP 5,1 and my usb mouse cursor keeps freezing. If I disconnect the mouse from USB port and reconnect, the cursor is unfrozen. Everything else works normally, including Apple trackpad. What appears to be happening is that the Mac somehow loses track of the USB mouse...

    USB 3 cards should all be bootable by now?

    Should I be checking bootability on currently available USB 3 cards for Classic Mac Pros or should they all pretty much be bootable? If it is not safe to assume they will be bootable in latest OS, what's the reason (other than they weren't made that way :p)?
