usb 3

USB 3 speeds are supported only on iPad Pro. I was hoping this statement was not true, because it's 2019 and this a new iPad but looks like it is. I chatted with Apple Support and they could not confirm that the latest iPad Air supports USB 3. It was surprising that they did not have technical...

Hi everyone! I would like to use a SSD to improve my MacBook speed ( for music production and photoshop proposes). Anyways, I read that to have a full perfomance for an SSD you must have a USB 3 connection/port. My Mac doesn't have that one so I was wondering if I can use my Ethernet port to...

Hello, I followed the instructions from "https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/adding-usb3-0-to-late-2009-imac-11-1.1979806/#post-26064070" which were limited but gave me a lot of hope. But, after doing it all I find myself with 2 more USB 2 ports. Basically the system identifies a USB 3...

Hey guys Can anyone help me with the problem I'm currently facing: My Macbook Pro (2017) writes extremely slow to USB flash drives. I have tried 3 different USB 3.0 flash drives (only one encrypted) and they all drop down to less than 30mb/s. However using the same flash drives on a Surface...

Got an older Mac that I want to hook some newer devices up to. I've only seen a couple of adapters and they only added one USB 3.0 type A port for around $75. Anybody know of some cheaper adapters/hubs? P.S. Why are these things so rare and expensive?

Hi! Hopefully this is the right place to post this. I have been transferring data from a CF card to my iMac and the speeds have been really weird. So the first transfer was in the 60GB range and took about 30minutes. I put in another card (exact same brand and model (Sandisk Extreme Pro 128GB))...

My 2012 MBP kicked the bucket this summer and I was waiting for the Apple announcements of late October to decide on a replacement. After much soul-searching and intense budget-shuffling, I decided on a 2015 MBP that should arrive tomorrow. (My local Best Buy has the new 2016 MBPs on display and...

Hi, as I see a lot of people trying to achieve the same thing on his old imac 27'', and searching the net trying to see if someone has already done this, we end up here thinking it's not possible to swap the mini pci-e wifi card, I'll update with my experience: it works, you can have usb 3.0 on...

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...

I use my MBP 13" 2015 (OS X 10.11.4) alternately mobile and as a desktop computer with an external display. There are several reports about problems with USB-3-Hubs and Macs. It would be great to avoid such problems and to know which specific USB-3-Hub works fine. Can you recommend a Hub with...

Sonnet makes two USB cards that I'm interested in: Allegro USB 3.0 4-Port and a Pro version which features a separate controller for each port. I saw no mention of how many controllers the standard version has so it could be one or two. I have a USB 3 graphics 4K adapter which I want to set up...
