    USB Drive won't mount on new MacBook, but mounts fine on 2010 MacBook

    Both my 2010 MacBook and my 2015 MacBook are running 10.13.3. My USB stick works fine on my 2010 MacBook. But on my 2015 MacBook it won't mount on the desktop, so I can't access the files it contains. However, it can be seen on Disk Utility, and when I run Disk First Aid, it says it is fine...

    MBP USB Port stopped working-options?

    My Mid-2014 MacBook Pro Retina's right USB port stopped working. I tried the SMC reset and the NVRAM reset. It seems the only thing left to do would be to replace the logic board which is a $300ish job. I don't want to that and I'd like to keep this laptop around for longer so I'm thinking I can...

    Alternative USB 1.1 keyboards for G4, or repairing?

    The point, briefly: I got a 17" 1GHz iMac G4. I got that computer for writing, so having a usable keyboard is a necessity. I'm weighing my options – buying a used keyboard for a replacement isn't just gross as you'll have to do the cleaning work, but also, it's a hit and miss if some keys...
