It's more common than ever to find a USB port on newer televisions. Some TVs support basic USB features, such as viewing photos from a flash drive, while higher-end 'Smart TVs' can perform relatively advanced file transfer functions. If your TV has the capability of fully integrating with a computer over USB, you can access any supported media files on your laptop's hard drive -- right from the big screen. You just need to know which features are supported and whether you have the right USB cable for the task. Warnings • Many televisions have a USB port, but relatively few support a direct TV-to-PC connection. Some TVs will only use the USB port for service (such as firmware updates), while others will only read USB flash drives. Likewise, the range of supported file types may be limited -- JPG, MP3 and MP4 are the most common. • Many USB adapters have plugs of a similar size and shape. Be very cautious when using a third-party adapter, such as the USB adapter from your smartphone or camera, as using the wrong adapter could damage your hardware.

The new MacBook Pro comes with two or four external ports, depending on the model you pick. And the new MacBook Air has a pair of ports. But those ports are only of one type: Thunderbolt 3, which is compatible with USB-C. But you probably have devices that use USB-A, Thunderbolt 1, Thunderbolt 2, DisplayPort, HDMI, or something else. How do you connect these devices? With an adapter. If you’re planning to buy a new MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, make sure you set aside a considerable amount of cash for the adapters you need. Apple doesn’t include any in the box, except for a power adapter. Your best bet is to get a combination dock, like the Satechi Slim Aluminum Type-C Multi-Port Adapter ($60 on ). It connects to the MacBook Pro via USB-C, and includes a USB-C pass-through port, two USB 3.0 ports, and an HDMI port with 4K (30Hz) support. With this, you don’t have to carry around multiple adapters. Mentioned in this article. If you don’t want a dock, or you can’t find a dock with the mix of connections you need, Apple or another company probably has an adapter for you. We’ve come up with this guide to help you sort out what you need, and we link to the appropriate adapter in the online Apple Store or on Amazon. You can also use the quick link list below to jump to the info you need. How to connect: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Be sure to check the return policies; sometimes adapters from third-parties don’t work. Read user reviews whenever possible, and read the specifications to make sure the adapter can do what you need it to do.

How to connect USB-C devices The Thunderbolt 3 ports in the MacBook Pro work with USB-C devices, which have the same connector shape. So if you want to use a USB-C device, you can just plug it into one of the Thunderbolt 3 ports. No adapter necessary. How to connect USB-A devices USB-A is the USB connector with which you’re probably most familiar. It’s the USB connector that was on the previous MacBooks, and it’s the connector that comes on your iOS device’s sync cable in the box. (Terms like USB 3 and USB 2 refer to the speed at which data travels through the connector.) Apple Apple USB-C to USB Adapter This problem first came up when Apple released the 12-inch MacBook, which has a single USB-C port. You can get a dock, like the before-mentioned Satechi. Or you can get Apple’s $19.
