MacBook Pro :: All USB Ports Are Not Created Equal
Nov 6, 2010
II discovered a very interesting anomaly with my mid-2009 13". I plugged my ipad in to syncs and charge, and the ipad said, "not charging." some research on the net yielded information that the iPad requires a higher powered USB port, which all late model macbooks have... All except mine apparently.....
So, I tried the other USB port, and low and behold, the ipad started charging. So the question is, is this the design of the MBP, or do I perhaps have a sub-optimal USB port?

I'm seeing a Raptor on sale at Best Buy for $160 Model: WD1500AHFDRTL. When I go to Dell online I see two Raptors for sale. One is WD1500AHFDRTL for $286, and the other is WD1500ADFD for $219.00. So what is the difference in models? One has a window into the hard drive, the other doesn't?

After reading through the entire gaming benchmark thread I still have yet to conclude whether the new i7 in hi res is better, worse, or equal to the 2.8 for gaming?

As I want to buy a case, and I don't want to get the model number wrong, I just want to check.The Shop says that the case is suitable for MB466/MB467/ MB990/MB991/ MB374/MB375/ A1278.So, is MB347 the same as MC347 (Macbook Pro 13' Mid 2010)If not, does it matter if it isn't the model specified?

I have a mid-2009 MacBook Pro with a display port that uses the same connector (presumably) as a Thunderbolt...does that mean this MacBook could access a Thunderbolt drive? Or not?

I copied a folder that's 276 GB big and has 432 files in it from one external HDD to another one. It tooks about 2 hours to transfer. Now just to make sure I looked up the folder information (⌘+i) of both folders.
Strange thing is, that the new folder is 7 GB and 4 files short! It didn't give me any errors while transferring and I don't have the time to manually compare every single file.
Is there an application that compares 2 folders and tells me what files are missing/different?

Is migrating from one computer to another equal to merging the 2 computers or is it only transferring the old one (10.6.8) to the new one (10.9.3) ?

I have the microsoft arc mouse and keyboard and each of them have seperate transrecievers. The macbook air only has two ports. If I bought a usb hub would this enable me to plug the transrecievers into the hub so I would have 1 usb port free? Im considering returning them and getting logtech's unifying transreciever, but they have no small keyboards that are compatible with it.

I have created a partition using Bootcamp of 50GB. In hindsight, I believe I need more space. Is there a way to increase the size now or do I need to go back and re-do the whole process?

This is the first time I have created an Excel file on my own MacBook Air, and while doing so, I noticed that five Excel files were created somehow on my desktop, with file names such as "B958D530." I cannot move them, open them, get info about them, or delete them. What are these and how do I get rid of them?

My usb ports in my c2d macbook don' t seem to be working. When I plug in my digital camera (sony) or itunes phone (motorola), nothing happens. I tried both of these devices on my 2 old powerbooks and they sync fine. Anyway I can check whether my macbook usb ports are functioning?

So I've been thinking about how i am going to be using my new MBA as my main machine for a couple of months and i currently use an external monitor with it.
The MBA is advertised to run an external, such as an ACD.
I jut looked at the ports and i find it really strange that the MagSafe connector is on the left, but the mini display port is on the right... Now you will have cables on both sides? How does this work with the set of MagSafe + display port + USB in an ACD? I don't think they are long enough to go around? Or would you have to plus in the other MagSafe and just use the right side for display port and USB. That is silly though.

Just wondering why does apple supply firewire ports on all their comps including laptops, because these days I can't find anything that has firewire ports that I will use everyday i.e. flash disc, HD, mouse etc. I know there's somewhere a 2.5" HD firewire case available but I already have a USB case for an external, and it would probably be more expensive to get it. What do you guys use firewire ports for?

I have a 15" MBP and am now having trouble discovering my printer on it. I have the printer connected to my iomega powered hard drive which in turn connects to my MBP via firewire 800. Earlier the printer was working fine when the iomega was connected via a USB port. BUt im short on USB ports (one goes to my Companion 5 speakers and the second to a 2nd display besides the mini DVI display) hence need to connect via firewire.

I have a Mid09 13in MBP.
I noticed that when I put it in sleep, the USB ports still get power. Is there a way to make it so they turn off when it sleeps? I have a cooling plate attached so I have to unplug it every time I sleep it, gets pretty annoying when I forget and I unplug the USB plug and the MBP turns back on. My mouse/keyboard are BT so it wakes it that way, not by USB.
And is it bad for me to have the laptop running with the lid closed? I don't know if the heat would affect the screen or not. I'm currently not doing this because I'm not sure about the effects of the heat on the screen, but I do use a cooling plate, average temps are 120-130*F.

When I plug an externally powered device (printer, external HD etc.) into my MBP via USB, there are small sparks around the plug and the plugged in speaker makes sounds. I think that this also caused my external HD to die.

I've got a macbook pro unibody and basically of the two usb ports. The lower one is working fine
but the top one is acting a bit funny. If I put my mouse or graphics tablet in there it doesn't work but if I put my phone or usb drive in there they work perfectly.

I was wondering whether trash and dust can damage the ports in the side of a MBP(or any laptop), let's say, if I'm using a Speck case around my macbook pro and put it inside my backpack, can the USB, Eternet, and so forth get damage in any way by the dust and small trashes(little bits of paper, things like that).
