I've been using a 2017 Macbook Air (Intel silicon) to connect to an Arduino via USB. The Arduino is embedded in a system which has a 5vdc power supply which powers the Arduino during normal operation. When I connect via USB to the laptop (to download a new sketch or monitor the system status)...

I've been running a new Mac Mini M2pro for a couple of months. Sonoma 14.3 dropped and I decided to upgrade from Ventura. Immediately after the install, my wired Apple keyboard (model A1243) stopped working. I used a no-name bluetooth keyboard to try to troubleshoot the problem. Restarting...

We have a 5th Gen iPad Mini. We got a USB A to Lightning adapter so my son could use a keyboard and mouse with it (it has 2 USB A ports on the adapter). The mouse is working great. The keyboard is clearly seen - as it takes input on the lock screen (entering a code), and the keyboard keys...

My Mac Studio M1 Ultra came with I think Mojave in 2022, which about a year ago I replaced with Ventura after wiping the internal drive. A few days ago, I wiped the internal drive and installed Sonoma. Since then, I started having this weird problem that I can find nothing about online. The two...

I have a 2011 Chevy Volt that has a USB connection for iPods and Bluetooth for phone calls but not for audio. I’ve seen some wireless CarPlay adapters out there which got me thinking: is there a device I could plug into the car’s USB port which would wirelessly connect (by Bluetooth or whatever)...

Some number of knowledge and recommendation exchange sites has been visited. Tips found either cover altogether wide range of situations or in particular deviate from situation here. In latter case in result unsure how well can transfer (those found) to goals set here. We look for compound USB...

I need reasonably fast external storage for my Mac Studio and am sort of new to this as before I had all my drives internally in an old Mac Pro (6 drives in total...). For now I do not want to go with the most expensive options due to budget concerns and I also do not want to "build" it myself...

ok fellas, I need y'all. I did a clean install of macOS Sonoma & didn't realize I had encrypted The USB. when I plug it in it ask for a password I don't remember it but I remember saving it to keychain. but its not In my iCloud Keychain. I think it was saved to the local keychain which is gone...

I have an external Sabrent 4-bay enclosure with 2 HDDs and 2 SSDs in it. One of those SSDs is causing weird behavior (like extremely long mount times, unwillingness to dismount) and kernel panics that crash my whole computer (happened multiple times now). The other drives seem to work fine...

Hello all. Please bear with me. This is pretty important to me and I’ll try my best to describe the situation. CURRENT: - Mac Studio, Monterey 12.6.8 - 3 Kingston DataTraveler Locker+ G3 (model DTLPG3) hardware encrypted drives. All 3 drives have been updated/formatted on the Mac Pro with the...

Posting here to seek advice, see if anyone else has this issue, and what could be possible root causes of this. MacBook Pro M1 13" 2020: model A2338 The reliability of my USB-C/Charging port has been continuously reducing for some time. External SSDs would not always be detected, charging was...

If I leave USB-powered devices plugged into my MacBook while it’s charging, will it degrade the battery? What I’m trying to figure out is if the USB devices will drain the battery and then the charger recharges the MacBook repeatedly, or do the USB devices consume power directly from the MacBook...

Which external enclosure would you recommend for use with an M1 Mac Studio and a mix of SATA HDDs and SSDs? I am looking for 4 drives in one enclosure, more or less. When I last looked into this over a year ago I settled on the Sabrent DS-SC4B. Is that still a solid choice or did something new...

Hello Mac friends. I was charging two D lithium-ion batteries directly to the Mac's port (USB cable chargers), a warning (I've never seen it before) say the USB Accessory is drawing too much power? Could charging D size batteries draw too much power (but we charge batteries all the time w/ the...

So, I am planning to build a custom hackintosh inside an old MacPro case, like many other people seem to have done. I haven't yet bought the MacPro case, or motherboard, but I am holding off temporarily until I can get more information on how to connect everything together, and the only bit I...

I know for a fact that macbooks around/before 2016 might have had a usb short circuit protection because I've seen these images online- and heard stories where people have connected Faulty/shorted USB-A cables to their macbooks which resulted in one of 3 things- 1.) USB port getting...

Hi, I have the new 14" MacBook Pro M2 and need an external drive. It needs to be fast so an SSD. I have read some confusing things about what the MacBook speed they actual support as opposed to what it says on the box. I hear it doesn't support some of the USB speed specifications so I don't...

I would like to add bluetooth 5.3 support to my mac through some USB adapter to pair with headphones supporting this version. I've found there exists the Nura Bluetooth® 5.3 Audio Transmitter for around 70$, which seems a bit steep compared to sub 10$ usb bluetooth 5.3 adapters I tend to find...
