Hey everyone... I haven't looked at MacBook and its accessories for a long time and things just got a little confusing for me. The company that I work for gives me a new 2017 MBP. Thing is, it has 4 ports that look like USB-C but I read around, it may be called Thunderbolt 3. Do you know which...

All four of the USB-C ports on my MacBook Pro 2016 are loose. No cables 'click' into place, like they do on other devices (including the actual power brick, which never comes undone). This is a really frustrating issue, as I'll find my computer not charging, or hard drives will unsafely...

Hello Everyone, I bought an iMac 21.5 inch, and its mid 2010 with intel i3 and 500 gigs of storage. I updated the systems hardware ram to 12 gigs, but im thinking on updating it to the max limit which is 16gigs of RAM and also the storage to 4TB but i heard SSD is better... yet im...

Hi. I have a 2017 15" MacBook Pro (2.9Ghz i7). I am lucky enough to have 1 Gb Internet service to my home. Despite having now tried 3 different 'Gigabit Ethernet Adapters" I am unable to achieve more than about 560Mb download. This is with my laptop (temporarily) plugged directly into the...

I'm not sure why there is such a dearth of these items, but I'm finding it extremely difficult (and frustrating) trying to reconcile hard drives with my 2018 macbook pro with my 2013 mac pro, namely reconciling the thunderbolt 2 ecosystem with the usb-c/thunderbolt 3. Does anyone have silver...

We have all just been issued new MacBook Pros at work (lucky us) but for some reason our external monitors now seem to overscan making them all but unusable. Previously I used a circa 2012 MacBook Pro and connected my external monitor through a Mini-DisplayPort/Thunderbolt 2 to HDMI cable and...

Hi! I'm having a problem with my usb-c dongle. (Macline Usb-c to miniDP $30, seems to be a swedish retailer and therefore a swedish website) I can connect my macbook via the adapter to screens with: miniDP to DP cable miniDP to VGA adapter to VGA cable miniDP to miniDP cable BUT NOT with...

Hi guys, first post on here, So I currently have 2x USB-C to hdmi cords, which connect to my laptop directly, and work perfectly, (I have a Macbook Pro 2016 w/Touchbar btw) I currently have a Simplecon CH381, which does NOT provide the desired functionality.. Instead I am looking for a...

Just got a new MacBook Pro for work and I am looking for the best dock to use as a paired programming station. Bare minimum I will need it to have Ethernet, run two monitors (HDMI, DVI), and at least two USB ports for two keyboards and mice. Any help or suggestions would be great. Thanks in...

Hi there, for my MacBook Pro 13" 2017, I want to buy a monitor. As 21:9 ultrawides aren't really available/affordable in real 4k (i.e. 2000p), I may just go for a "regular" 4k monitor. I'm considering e.g. a LG 27UD58P and a LG 27UD88-W. And I wonder, the 88 is significantly more expensive...

Hi all, After using my Apple Cinema Display "30 for years, I'm in the market for a new USB-C monitor (looking at 4K displays). As my Macbook pro has a external Radeon GFX card It supports 4/5K displays. How do I connect a USB-C monitor with a thunderbolt 2 connection ? Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to replicate or setup a similar setup from my work in my home office. Work setup is 4x portrait dell 24" 1080p monitors. I have a 2016 15" Macbook pro with the Radeon 455 My understanding is that I can run multiple Dell P2417H as they are DP1.2 capable using MST or daisy chained off...

I have recently purchased a Macbook Pro 2017 15", and am having some connectivity weirdness w/ my 4k Monitors. Previously both were connected via DP -> Mini-DP on my 2013 Macbook Pro 15", so I know both of the cables are good. I purchased two Arktek Mini-DP to USB-C adapters from Amazon and...

I have the first generation 15" MBPro that Apple released in late 2016 (only USB-C/TB3 ports); it was an open box sale for a good price, and I needed to upgrade. I've noticed a few oddities mostly related to power management on the USB-C ports. The battery life is pretty poor. Just web/email...

Hey everyone I’m looking for some answers about the official usb-c power supply compability and hope someone can try it out of has something to say about it. I switched to a retina 12inch MB and an iPad mini I bought used. After getting the usb-c to lightning cable I just kept charging...

Hey all! I just recently discovered the Native Union Eclipse Charger (https://www.nativeunion.com/eclipse-charger/) and I must admit I already adore the product! It seems very clever and has an incredibly nice design. I would like a hub to reside on my desk to charge Apple Watch, iPad, iPhone...

I was watching some of those "ultimate desk setup tour" videos on YouTube, and I saw an interesting variant on a USB hub. I had never seen one like this before, and a few questions popped into my mind. I wondered if a variant of this kind of Swiss Army Knife-style accessory existed with an...

My late-2013 MacBook Pro that uses the 85W MagSafe 2 power adapter comes with a power adapter extension cable. However my 2017 MacBook Pro doesn't have the extension cable for 87W USB-C power adapter, just the electrical plughead. Are there any issues if I use the 85W MagSafe 2 power adapter...

Has anyone here come across a USB-C to HDMI 2.0a dongle? Specifically HDMI 2.0 'a' in order to support HDR10 metadata to a compatible TV. If so, any success with HDR out from Bootcamp? I'd imagine HDMI 2.0a metadata may get macOS support now that Final Cut Pro X 10.4 has been updated with...
