I have a Mid 2011 Mac Mini with 2.7Mhz Processor, 8GB of Ram & an AMD Radeon 256 running dual displays. It has four USB 2 ports which are all in use. I need a hub that will recognise my iPhone 7+ and other Apple "stuff". I have two that don't recognize anything Apple. They are a Beldon USB 2 and a CyberPower that is USB 2 also. Both have the external power supply.
Can anyone tell me what's wrong and recommend a USB Hub that is Apple compatible?
What is the other Apple "stuff" that you have - I'm going to presume it's other Apple iDevices. I also presume that the problem you're having is that your iDevices don't show up in iTunes or other Apple software. If there's some other problem, it would help if you detail it further.
So do these iDevices work if you plug them in directly to your Mini?
If not, is there a point in time that they did work with the hubs and if so, was there some event that marked the point where it no longer worked - like updating the OS, etc.?
I have had problems in the past with my 2014 Mini recognizing my iPad and it was a problem (of my making) with the security mechanism that the macOS uses with regards to the iDevices. If you answer the previous two questions, I give you an idea as to whether this is a possible issue or not.
