Asked 4 years ago by billet.

• A:Answer No, unless you purchase another adapter. You have "Thunderbolt 3" ports on your notebook. This adapter works with "Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2" ports. The size and shape of these ports are different (see attached pictures).

Q: QuestionI have a 2016 MacBook Pro. Is this the right adapter? Apple’s site doesn’t show my year as being compatible.

Asked 4 years ago by TLHKayaker.

• A:Answer No- your 2016 MacBook Pro uses Thunderbolt3 - The adapter from Apple is for Thunderbolt 1 and 2 devices - They are not compatible without a second adapter to step the TB2 port down to Type-C/Thunderbolt3 - You're better off with third party Type-C to Ethernet adapters. Apple never made one. Belkin makes a good one available here on BestBuy.com

Q: QuestionWill this work on my 2011 MacBook Pro?

Asked 4 years ago by Steve.

• A:Answer As long as you have a thunderbolt port on your machine, this will work. One warning, in my experience, they seem like a passive device, but they do fail/slow down after a couple of years. I have several MacBooks and periodically (2 years) have to change these out.

Q: QuestionHow can I use a thumb drive to save files on my iPad?

Asked 6 years ago by Gail.

• A:Answer Unfortunately there’s not really a way to use the thumb drive directly with an iPad, although, you could email yourself the files from another device such as a computer, and then open the email on the iPad and download the files directly to the iPad from your email. Hope that helps!

Asked 3 years ago by None.

• A:Answer In general I would expect this to work fine, unless the OS lacks adequate support. I use mine on a 2019 MacBook Pro 13.3 and for my son on his MacBook Pro. And, I have a similar device for my HP Spectre x 360 with Win 11 Pro.
