    Microphone Recommendations for Siri? Apple Plaintalk Mic perhaps?

    I have a 2010 cMP and I just installed sierra. I'd like to try Siri out, but I need a microphone to do it. I am not sure how good of a mic I need. Part of me would like to use the old PlainTalk mic that apple used to ship with their computers decades ago, but that would take some...

    Bluetooth Recommendations for a PMG5?

    My G5 Quad is running Leopard and currently uses a generic USB Bluetooth dongle I got on eBay a while back. It seems to work fine for most things, but I now want to use a wireless Mighty Mouse I got in CEX for a steal. But the problem is the cursor staggers and jitters about when I connect it to...

    What went wrong with the AirPods and USB-C

    I am an apple sheep, I love everything apple makes. But sometimes I need to admit that they are pretty stupid. Apple wants to go into the future with usb-c, they knew they where doing this when the iPhone 7 came out. Why didn't they make the 7 with an usb-c port? They didn't do that because...

    Glitching USBs/cannot hold a connection

    For quite a while now, whenever I connect my iPhone to my mac usb ports, the connection is extremely unstable. What I mean by this is that the phone will not charge for more than half a second, then reconnect, and the computer will not recognize the phone for long enough to do anything. The...

    MP4 and USB and Apple TV 4

    I have a bunch of videos and movies stored on USB from a variety of original sources. Is Apple TV 4 capable of playing MP4 files? What's the process of getting them to play on the device? Would a different set top box better? Is Apple TV likely to be updated to Apple TV 5 soon? Thanks in...

    What happens if I connect the MacBook to a USB-A port of another computer?

    So I bought a USB-A to USB-C cable with which you can charge your MacBook through an iPad charger or regular battery packs with USB-A port, and I'm wondering if I can use this cable to charge or power my MacBook from another computer. I often use my MacBook in front of a school computer, and if...

    USB devices stay on in sleep mode

    Hi everyone :) I bought a new Mac Mini yesterday and I tore it apart immediately to build in a SSD. It runs great and I love it so far! Now my idea was to keep the Mac mini in sleep mode while I am not using it. Unfortunately all the USB devices stay on when I put it into sleep. I have a...

    Touch Bar coming to iMacs?

    It's interesting that communication with the Touch Bar is via USB. It seems to me that that would allow for an external keyboard to have a Touch Bar. (A wired one, anyway. Maybe even wireless.) I wonder if something like this is coming to iMacs in the future. Might also be nice for MacMini and...
