Re: USB hub not working with new M4 Mac

Speaking of protocols, Mac laptops have supported Thunderbolt connectors for 14 years, and Thunderbolt-capable USB-C connectors since 2016.

Personally, I make a point of spending extra to get the current-edition Thunderbolt cables, and therefore never have to worry whether it will connect properly with a USB-C device.

Re: USB hub not working with new M4 Mac

 

Looks like your problem is solved, but FWIW, I got one from a local store that does their own line of equipment, and is not available outside of western Canada. ?As for compatibility, I mean the protocol not the type of connector. ?So if the computer supports USB 3.2, then so should the hub. ?The important point is that it should say on the box what it works with and that you can¡¯t assume it will work otherwise despite how obvious it seems.

I figured it couldn¡¯t hurt if the cable on the hub that plugs into the computer had a USB-C connector.

Forgot to mention that we have ignition. :)

What brand an model of hub did you get? When you say compatible with the USB versions on the new Mini, does that mean something beyond the hub having a USB-C connector?

Re: modify single instance of repeating event

 

It¡¯s fairly common for someone to need to remove a specific event from a repeating event. It would be needlessly onerous to have to manually enter all of the remaining ones just because something occurred for one of the series of events. That¡¯s why there¡¯s an option to delete such an event. He just wants the option of removing it from the series, rather than deleting it.

Can anyone recommend a good not too expensive solar charger for the iPhone. I have an 8 if that makes any difference.?

USB hub not working with new M4 Mac

 

In November 2023 I bought this hub for use with my 2012 Mac mini:

I didn¡¯t really need 16 ports, but I was running out of ports on my previous hub, and I figured there was something to be said for being sure I¡¯d always have enough ports. The hub has worked fine with the Intel Mac.

Yesterday I dropped off the 2012 Mac and my new M4 Mac mini with my local Mac tech so he could migrate my user account and data to the M4. I got the M4 Mac home tonight, and it works, but items plugged into the USB hub simply aren¡¯t recognized¡ªprinter, USB thumb drive, you name it. When I plug things directly into the Mac, they work. Naturally I¡¯m using these:

My Mac tech said he doesn¡¯t know of any case of a hub working with one computer and not with another. Since the hub is the common denominator, I figure trying another one can¡¯t hurt. This would be my chance to get a hub with a USB-C male connector to plug into the Mac, but I¡¯d still need some USB-A female connectors for my legacy peripherals. I don¡¯t have any Thunderbolt peripherals, so I could theoretically plug items into the Thunderbolt ports, but 5 ports total is still not a lot of ports. Any recommendations as to specific USB-C hubs? Thanks.

I could swear in the past when I modified a single instance of a repeating event it was no longer considered a repeating event, and I could modify it again and not have to select whether to modify only this event or all future events. That no longer appears to be the case on my Mac (Sequoia) or iPhone (18.2). Is it just me?

If you use a different default browser, check for a similar option. I also sometimes use Google Chrome and Brave browsers. I see the option in Chrome¡¯s Share, but not in Brave. If your Default browser doesn¡¯t have that option, create the Home Screen Bookmark in Safari. Since it¡¯s just a bookmark, it will then open automatically in your default browser.
