Hi, I need help with my Power Mac G5! I tried to make a bootable USB for Leopard but when I go into the boot selector, the drive doesn't come up, when I try to launch the installer from Mac OS X, it just reboots into the OS, and when I try to boot into it from open firmware, it just shows the...

Hello, My Mid-2010 15 inch MacBook Pro with High Sierra installed on it has problems with both USB ports. The first was already broken when I bought the MacBook and the second one isn't really broken but disconnects the USB Sticks/External Drives randomly. I tried resetting both SMC and NVRAM...

My 2019 16" Macbook Pro has a usb-c connector where no cables can fit all the way in (no nothing appears to be obstructing), so I am bringing it in to repair as I have Apple Care. Is there any risk of someone getting access to the data in my hard drive without my password or fingerprint?

Hey guys, I used a MBP 13 from 2015 for a long time and I always charged my iPhone XS with the lightning/usb cable. It always charged pretty fast compared to when I use the USB on my PC. Now the MBP is dead and I got a M1 Macbook that only has USB C. I bought a USB C hub but when I charge the...

Hi, I have a simple usb-3 hub connected to my Mac mini m1. I was wondering why the hub’s led always remains on (even when the Mac is supposed to be in sleep mode). Best

Yes it's insanely fast and beautiful BUT my new M1 Pro still needs a dongle for my desktop setup. And the peripherals don't work. The dongle (I hate saying "my dongle") with newish gaming keyboard and Evoluent mouse all work great with my 2016 MB Pro, my even older Mac Pro, and an Alienware...

Will it stay as USB-A or will they finally transition to USB-C...? I'm hoping they finally go full USB-C.

I connect my 2012 MacBook pro to an external Schiit Dac via USB. This has worked just fine for years. Yesterday I suddenly had no sound and the speaker icon on the menu bar was greyed out. If I alt click on the speaker icon it shows the Speaker-Schiit USB Audio device in the device list, so I...

I'm sorry if this has been posted before but I am not sure what is the best adapter to connect my peripherals to the new 24" iMac (Two Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports - Two USB 3 ports). I currently have a 27" late 2015 iMac and I have peripherals connected using USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports and a screen...

I bought a USB 3.0 (USB-A) to HDMI adapter but was too late to notice it wouldn't work with Mac - Windows only; as such my Mac simply won't recognize my Sony TV. Unfortunately a return is not possible due to the damaged package, so I thought since there's the Device Firmware Update mode which is...

This is my second attempt at purchasing and using a Mac Mini M1, as my main computer. Frustrating, to say the least. I feel like I am failing at my attempt. - Monitor: Samsung 49" monitor, connected via HDMI. Works, but, if I reboot the Mac (say for an update), then the Mac Mini does not see...

I've been installing a bunch of operating systems on my PowerBook G4 12" 1.33GHz (PowerBook6,4) lately. For [reasons] I only wanted to install said operating systems using the built-in USB2 ports — I did not want to use the DVD drive. I have experienced many, many hours of frustrating failures...

I use an Elgato CamLink 4k to connect my camera to my 2015 MacBook Pro 15" running the latest Big Sur. Whenever I do so, my CPU is high and the fans go crazy. I have never run a task that stresses the laptop as much - and I regularly run data science code over data sets running for hours. I am...

I recently discovered that my right USB port somehow only supports USB 2.0, when I connect a 3.0 device it is not even recognized. I made a little experiment: USB 3.0 flash drive connected to the left USB port: just works. Then a USB 2.0 extension plugged between the drive and the mac: works...

Hi everyone! I recently picked up a new M1 Mac Mini and, while the machine is fast as hell, I'm having some strange issues with USB. First I noticed that my USB printer would randomly disconnect and, even after a reboot, wasn't detected until I unplugged and replugged it in. Then I noticed a...

Hi all, My usual photo workflow is to Let iCloud take care of keeping my photos in sync between devices (and I curate what I keep there) At least weekly manual backups (plug iPhone into Mac; use Image Capture to drag all recent photos since last backup onto an HDD). The Image Capture part is...

I have an iPad Mini 2 running iOS 12.5.1 and a MacBook Pro running El Capitan. I want to be able to transfer pdf & ebook files directly between the devices ideally using a USB cable and not uploading to cloud storage or dealing with iTunes. Are there any good third-party solutions? I also want...
