Is there a cable adapter that will let me turn a Thunderbolt slot into a 3.0 slot?

I have an older iMac and the usb slots are all 2.0.  Is there an adapter that will plug into a Thunderbolt slot and let me get full speed from a usb 3.0 drive?

A quick Google search found several, here is just one:

  • Is there any cable adapter that would let my iphone connect to an ethernet connection or a way to share the ethernet connection from a mac to an iphone without being wireless?

    I'm a tester and sometimes I need to test some applications on the Iphone, the company that I work for may get us one but only if we find a way to connect it to ethernet without being via wireles, since for the company politics it would be considered a risk of security

    No.
    Use the cellular data connection.
    Set up a seperate wireless network that is completely seperate from the company network for Wi-Fi devices.

  • Is there a cable available that will connect an I pad to an older printer?

    Is there a cable available that will connect an I pad to a printer?

    If you have a Mac or PC there are utilities available that enable them to act as a print server, enabling you to print to any printer the Mac or PC can use.
    The donation-supported handyPrint and a commercial product such as Printopia ($19.95 with free trial) are two examples. The Mac must be "on" but may be asleep for them to work. Equivalent PC options may exist but you're on your own finding them.
    You can also buy this standalone print server:

    These options enable you to use any printer available to your network, even older ones that may predate AirPrint by decades. But as Bob said, everything you do with an iPad is wireless.

  • Is there an iPad app that will let me read a pdf be able to type notes that I can save as a separate plain text file?

    In researching a subject, I would like to be able to read several pdfs in succession and keep adding to a text document where I keep notes.
    I have seen iPad apps that will let you mark up a pdf, but I would like to have one text file that I keep all my typed notes as a compilation on a subject.
    desirable but not critical:
    Ideally a split screen where you can have see the pdf and your notes at the same time.
    It would be even better if you could copy and paste text from pdf into the note.
    It would be great if you could copy a figure into the note (as I can do w/ la partial screen capture on my mac laptop)
    I welcome your suggestions if you know of any iPad apps that you think would be useful for the above.
    Thanks,
    Kevin Lease

    Go to settings> general and scroll down to multitasking geastures, turn them on and by swiping with four fingers from the right side of the iPad to the left and back you can switch between apps. I think this is what you need I'm not sure, I hope it helps

  • TS2634 Is there any cassette adapter that will work with an Ipod Touch 4th Generation?

    Is there any cassette adapter that works with an Ipod Touch 4th Generation?  I just got the Ipod Touch 4G and the cassette adapter I have that worked with my other Ipod says it is not compatible with the Touch 4g.  Any suggestions?

    It should work since from my knowledge the output from the headphone jack has not changed. Is the plug fully inserted into the jack?

  • Is there a remote app that will let me open and close programs on my iMac

    Hi There,
    I know that I can use the Apple Inc "Remote App" to control my iTunes on my iMac - and I really like it for when I am not right at my computer, but I have to have iTunes open on my iMac before I can use it which is a bit of a pain to have to think "Am I going to use iTunes today?" or to run off to my office at the other end of my house when I decide I want music through my speakers and so my question is thus.
    Is there a remote app that I can download for iPhone or even iPad lets you open and close programs on your iMac when you are not actually sitting at it. So say I want to open iTunes on my iMac i would do the following
    1: Open the remote app on my device (either iPhone or iPad)
    2: See a representation of iMac screen on that device (cut down for iPhone)
    3: Chose the program I want (iTunes in this case) and it will open on my iMac allowing me to begin using the program remotely on my remote device.
    I am not talking about remote desktop or anything here (I don't want to do complicated things on it) just be able to open programs like iTunes so I can have the music play through my home speaker system without having to have all of my programs already running on my mac incase I decide to use them

  • Is there a new adapter that will work with iphone 4s to hdmi with ios 8 update

    Hi just wondering if there is an adapter out there that will work with the new IOS 8 update -- iphone 4s to HDMI.  Ever since I updated mine will not work.  Same thing for the iPad mini.  I want to purchase my daughters the iPad Mini for Christmas but will not unless there is an adapter capable of doing this.

    This is not my problem. However, I think it may be related to an old speaker. I was using the 30 pin adapter for about a week after the upgrade to 7.1.2. But I think with the update the speaker won't work anymore. I will try with a new speaker system. Thank you for trying to assist.

  • Is there a remote adapter that will allow me pocket control

    I own a pair of Audio-Technica MTH-50 headphones that sound great with the iPhone.  The one problem is that the input is large, and needs to fit flush against the phone.  I like to have my phone in a case, so I can't really use the headphones unless I'm willing to leave my phone unprotected.
    One of the suggestions I've received about getting around this is a simple headphone adapter, which would plug in to the top of the phone, then allow me to plug my phones in above the case.
    This seems impractical, as I don't think the trade-off is worth it.  I wouldn't, however, mind it if I could add an extra feature.  So is there a headphone adaptor/extender out there includes a remote for basic volume / play / track functions?  If so, does anyone have experience with them to recommend a certain model?  Or are they crummy enough that it's not worth it?
    I appreciate your input.

    If there is, you'll need to find one that has 3 connectors (rings), for data transmission.

  • Where can I find an adapter that will let me use my firewire 800 devices with a thunderbolt only ported macbook air?

    Been looking for a way to use my firewire 800 devices with my macbook air - which has only usb and thunderbolt ports.  I've seen internet pages for an adapter from sonnet but have not found anywhere to actually purchase such a thing.  Would love to be able to at least try to use the thunderbolt port - for something - or trade the thing in for something with present day usable firewire 800 ports.  Is this thunderbolt technology already getting shelved?  I see like 5 items on the market that actually use this port...  really?  That's it?   Thank you for any guidance!

  • Is there any app that will  let me  listen music through bluetooth headset

    Is there any Iphone App that will let me listen music through my bluetooth headset. 

    No. There is no FM tuner in the phone. The audio from the TVs in the gym is broadcast over FM radio frequencies, they are not piping it out over the Internet. If there was an app that would let you listen to them, it would be specific to your gym.

  • Terminal command that will let me access old username files...

    ... including files saved by timemachine?  I've had a lot of computer problems, first wiped the drive.  It was a chore getting old folders like "desktop" and "downloads" to open for me with my new username and for some reason I wasn't permitted by the system to use the OLD username.  I had to go to every folder and every item in every folder and reset permissions.
    Now, it seems, I need a new drive.  Which means I have to do all those things AGAIN!  Plus re-install software.
    Is there a terminal command that will let me access old timemachine drives (plural) with (unfortunately) multiple usernames?
    Please don't lecture me!  I know I've been hopelessly stupid and inefficient.  I promise to do better.  At least I DID back up.

    what you type is
    man sudo
    I presented an example, which when executed will run as "username" and display the contents of their home directory - the meaning of "ls ~username"
    I suspect that this is going over your head.
    double-click Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
    type and hit enter
    /bin/csh
    This command starts the C-Shell command line interpreter. The ~ (tilde) character is translated by the C-Shell as the users home directory. For example, "ls ~" will display the contents of my home directory (folder) which is /Users/disguise
    You man want to read up on C-Shell and UNIX commands.

  • Is there an adapter or something you can use on a iPhone 5 that will let you watch video when using an AUX cable?

    Is there an adapter or something you can use on a iPhone 5 that will let you watch video when using an AUX cable?

    if you by AUX mean composite or component then likely not as they would not be able to support a high enough resolution to do any type of airplay mirror
    hdmi should work though

  • The circuit of my macbook is dead yet the hard drive is fine.  I need to access a file from the hard drive, how can i do this? is there a cable i can connect to another mac that will let me transfer the file?

    The circuit of my macbook is dead yet the hard drive is fine.  I need to access a file from the hard drive, how can i do this? The mac turns on the screen freezes as bright blue.  Is there a cable i can connect to another mac that will let me transfer the file?

    There is another option if the Macbook will start up in Target Disk Mode.
    Restart the computer while holding down the T key. If you see the firewire symbol moving around on the screen you can connect this one to another one in TDM. You will need a suitable cable to connect the two Macs.
