So, you have purchased and received your MBA M1. And, now you have it connected to a monitor for day to day use. But, you now want to do Time Machine backups (or any backups to external drives). What connections are you using? Seems with this new model, one has to have a 'few' USB type...

Posted this on the video thread; maybe more traction here. QQs (maybe)— Collective thoughts wanted on Windows/Parallels and hardware: I was looking at getting either a Surface or M1 MBA (only currently have a work-issued Mac, and iPad these days) to run Win honestly for the occasional hardware...

Basic set-up question regarding my new Blue Yeti microphone. I'm using it with my iMac plugged directly into USB port in the iMac itself. The microphone works fine and I don't have any difficulty with it functioning as a microphone. My question is this - I don't understand why the setup...

Hi dear mac users, I recently acquired a Macbook 4,1 from early 2008. Unfortunately the latest version of macos supported is Lion. I managed to upgrade it to Mountain Lion and Mavericks (but that last one lost the graphic acceleration). The impossibility to use modern apps on those system made...

I'm pretty new to Mac OS, so it may be something i'm doing wrong. When I connect a USB memory stick or card reader to my new M1 Macbook, it is detected and I can transfer files. I also own two Fujifilm cameras, and X-T4 and an X-S10. When I connect either, they are simply not detected...

Hey, My usb flash stick has stopped working. I was wondering if you guys have any ideas how to get it mounted again. It began when I tried to delete an item from it. My comp showed an error and wouldn't move the file to trash. In frustration I pulled out the usb drive. Now it won't mount. When...

Hey guys. I bought my 27"imac i5 with upgraded radeon pro vega 48 card back in April. Today i have borrowed the new M1 mac mini from a friend just to test it out and compare the two. I have to say, i am totally blown away by the performance from a machine that costs only £700. On top of...

Hi there, I have a USB key (32gb Kingston flash drive; Mac OS Extended) that I tried inserting into my Macbook Pro, put in my password, and received the message "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" with 3 clickable options: initialize, eject, or ignore. I kept...

Hey all! Loving my M1 mini so far, it's been a rock solid machine. Just having one interesting "issue" if you could even call it that, night after night. I have my mini in a desk setup in my bedroom plugged into a backlit mechanical keyboard and mouse. Sometimes when I go up to the Apple menu...

I have an Aukey USB-C hub that I used successfully with my 2020 MacBook Air with an external Kinesis keyboard and either two USB hard drives or an Elgato USB-HDMI 4K video adapter. On my M1 MacBook Air, I often have issues with the video from the Elgato adapter freezes until I plug/unplug the...

I was wondering if it would be possible to run Apple Hardware Test/Service Diagnostics from a USB. I have a mid-2005 iBook G4 (different from the one I posted about a while ago - that one had HDD issues and I ended up returned it) that I'd like to run AHT on if for no other reason than to ensure...

I gave up on my cMP5,1 to run Big Sur 11.0.1 on the main disk and reverted to Catalina. I still have it as an alternate boot in addition to Mojave. The pain was that I had upgraded my fast NVMe and had Catalina as a smaller install on an SSD. Overall it worked just fine including hand off and...

Is it just me, or are most of the M1 YouTube reviews somewhat lacking? No one even mentions how USB peripherals work with these new Macs. You'd think some of them would at least say a word or two about driver compatibility and such. But nope. They just run Geekbech, export a 4K video in FCP and...

Hello - after numerous web searches and contacting apple's own technical support, i'm hoping the community here might be able to provide some more insight into this issue. Either i'm missing something obvious on my settings or something else odd is happening. Iphone 6s, ios 14.0.1 (issue has...

I waited to upgrade my 6s (only upgrading because the button stopped working a couple months ago). I decided that the 12 didnt have features that were worth spending the extra money on so I bough the 11 directly from Apple since they discounted it $100. Well, it arrived and is in the new...

My brother has an iMac running Catalina. He purchased an Alesis Multimix 6 USB interface. He has both GarageBand and Logic Pro X. The problem he has is that he can record his guitar in GarageBand, but cannot record in LPX. The USB codec is recognized in the LPX preferences and selected as the...

Can someone point me to where I can find a low-level hardware diagnostic tool for MP6,1? I was told that it was shared in this forum but I cannot find it. My Mac Pro randomly ejects USB devices (drives, webcam, mic, etc.). I have used the Apple Diagnostics and it shows everything is fine. I was...

I've already bought a USB hub with a single port to the MBP integrated (see image below).. ...and it's outrageously bad - it was a Satechi brand and the single USB port is so flimsy to support something 20 times it's size and the things you plug into it. What holds in the ports is not...

If I keep my MacPro 6,1 up for over a week, I would wake up one morning and find all USB devices have been disconnected. All my USB devices are connected to my MacPro via powered USB hubs. Some of them have their own power supplies. How do I find out what caused the MacPro to disconnect them? Is...

Hi guys, rookie to MacOS, coming from Windows. I am sittin in front of the new MBA and we bought a "SanDisk Dual Drive USB-C" 64GB from the Apple Store as well. It's got those two swivelling sides. I can't get it to work on both machines. Here's what we want to do: Put it into a...
