They sound like USB C Very similar to the lightening connecter for the iPhone or iPad
That will only work in the new 12" mac book or the newer mac book pros Unless it's a USB 3 connecter and she has it around the wrong way The USB 3 connecter is similar to a circuit board with a little knotch out of it,that should go into the my passport device and the other end of the cable should be the standard USB connecter, But if its like the lightening connecter although slightly wider then it's USB type c -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Kristeen Hughes Sent: Monday, 21 May 2018 6:51 AM To: Mac Users Group <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> Subject: A question about a My Passport drive and the mac My friend recently purchased two my passport drives from a Target store. They actually say, “My Passport Portable Storage for Mac”. She cannot seem to connect them to any USB port on her MacBook Pro. They do not have a typical USB end. It is little and thin. Does anyone know where it is supposed to connect, or if there is a way to make this work? Is there an adapter? What makes it for the Mac if it can’t connect? Is there a place on the Mac that is not USB that is used? Thanks for any information? I hereby pronounce myself ignorant! Kristeen drive the car to store. It's typically says my passport format. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
