The first MacBook Pro's were not released until the beginning of 2006, and they had USB 2 ports.
Anything available new in 2005 would have been a PowerBook G4 and they also had USB 2 ports.
A USB 3 disk will just transfer data slower then it could do, if you plug it into a USB 2 port though, so you can buy either.

How can I use a USB keyboard with my Macbook Pro?
My MBP will not recognize my brand new USB keyboard.
I have tried the keyboard on two other Macbook Air's and it works perfectly.
My MBP:
OS X Yosemite
10.10.1
Macbook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)
2.4 GHz Core i5
8GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Mac HD
Graphics Intel Iris 1536 MB
Thoughts on how I can resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
GregBrenden,
Thanks for the reply.
I've gone your suggestions in detail and the keyboard is still not working.
From what I can tell this is a known issue with Yosemite.

Someone at Apple must be able to figure this one out.

How can I use an A1082 monitor with my MacBook Pro?
I received an apple A1082 monitor this past weekend from a friend and we couldn't, and still can't, figure out how it can be used with my MacBook Pro. I know that I need an adapter, but where does it get power from? Thanks in-advance. Richie.

Can i use my netgear stora with a macbook pro?
thinking of purchasing a mac book pro 15",would i be able to use my netgear stora with it?
if i can ,is it easy to set up.
big jump for me moving from microsoft to apple ,trying to find out as much as i can ,Yes, it has a NEXXTECH PS/2 adapter to UPS which I connect to my old laptop (emachines). Is it compatible with Apple?
If that Nexxtech adapter converts to USB, it probably will work fine for alpa and numerics.
What sometimes happens is a Mac does not recognize a keyboard, so it will ask you to type some specific characters, like z and m and . If you get lucky, it will recognize the layout and assign the keys correctly and all will work. Command and Option may take some playing around to get them straight. Some shortcut combinations may never work properly. -
Can I use an Easycap DC60 with my macbook pro?
Hi, I have purchased an Easycap DC60 and downloaded Easycap viewer but it doesn't seem to recognise the device. Have I bought something which is not compatible or is there something out there that I can use? I wanted this to copy old VHSC tapes from a camcorder and edit on my macbook. Any help on this would be gratefully received.

Can you use any external display with a macbook?
hi all,
I was just wondering, can you use any external display with a macbook? (i.e. gateway, and dell displays?)To original poster:
Yes.
Provided you have the appropriate ports and cables, that is. Some monitors do not have all vga, dvi-i, dvi-d, hdmi, etc. ports, and it can be misleading that all those technologies appear to be compatible via conversion cables (they aren't all meant to be compatible, so look it up on the internet before buying).
Cheers,
Sylvain

How do i use an external display with my macbook pro?
How do I use an external display with a macbook pro?
Just buy the proper adapter cord, such as MiniDisplay port to HDMI for example. Plug it in and it will be automatically recognized. Use System Preferences > Displays to set options.
The display can Mirror your primary desktop or Extend the Desktop.

I have a 2010 vintage 13-inch MacBook Pro that has a 60 watt power adapter. I also have an older power adapter that is 65 watts. Is it okat to use the 65 watt with this MacBook Pro?
yes.
"For instance If you have a MacBook (13-inch Late 2009) that normally uses a 60W adapter, you can also use an 85W adapter with that computer. You would not use a 45W adapter with that computer; it would not provide enough power for that MacBook. Using an adapter of higher wattage than the adapter that came with the computer will not cause the computer to charge more quickly or otherwise operate any differently than using the adapter that came with the computer.
