Very simple to understand 🇦🇺👍
Thanks! 🙏
@PeteJohnsMusic --- Can you do an overview of all the cable standards compatible with USB-C connector?
Like: USB 2, USB 3, USB 4, Thunderbolt, Lightning, FireWire, DisplayPort, HDMI, PS/2, etc.
Possibly. There are videos already online covering this if you dig around.
@@PeteJohnsMusic--- I don't think one so comprehensive. Plus your videos are better.
Your accent forced me to drink a tea and wear a tuxedo 😂
Because British? But… I’m Australian. You should have drank a Fosters and worn a hat with corks hanging from it.
Anker are robust alright, this area can be a minefield alright. The kids and Alicia are forever robbing my MacBook charger, cause it’s the ‘good’ one 😂
Haha! Yup. I too know the curse of having the “good cable”.
@PeteJohnsMusic --- Is USB-C connectors compatible with USB 1 standards? You mentioned 2, 3, and 4.
Yup. It they won’t be very fast.
So I just received my new M3 iMac which has 2 Thunderbolt/ USB 4 ports and 2 USB 3 ports. Am I correct that I should connect my 2 external SSD drives using the 2 Thunderbolt ports. I also have 2 external disk drives. Is it worth getting a Thunderbolt hub to connect these or should I just use the USB 3 ports? Thanks for your help
Yes if your drives are Thunderbolt compatible you should definitely use those ports. A hub would be good if you have more high speed devices that need thunderbolt ports, otherwise would not really be worth it.
Thank you for your video So my question is would I use a Thunderbolt 4 Port and cable to connect to an external SSD hard drive?
Hey there. It depends on what type of drive it is. If it supports Thunderbolt speeds you’ll need a Thunderbolt cable and port. If it’s just USB, a USB-C cable and port will do.
I may have unique problem with a new ipad pro that has the new usb-c connector. My old ipad with the lightning port works fine connected to an irig usb interface (using a powered 4 port usb hub). I keep getting "accessory not supported.." error on the new ipad pro (usb-c to lightning connector). Everything is the same on both ipads except for the usb-c connector. I am using all apple products. Have you seen this with the new usb-c connector?
Hey there Tom. I think I replied to your email on this? It’s usually a power issue with this sort of thing so make sure you have an adapter with power pass-through.
Can we charge recent iPads that has USB-C port with thunderbolt 4 to thunderbolt 4 cable ?
Yes, generally Thunderbolt cables are backwards compatible with all USB-C standards.
Do u have a brand good for those who drop their devices alot while connected which breaks the tips on the thunderbolt cords? Ive gone rhru way too many cords cheap ones to expensive ones and i had a few anker as well. My last one was anker the tip wiggles now and not connecting.
Not specifically. Though there are silicon wraps for cables you can use.
@@PeteJohnsMusic is that to help prevent damage?
so if i buy something that uses thunderbolt, but i have a usb-c port, will it work?
Yes. But it would only run at the slower USB-C speed. studiolivetoday.com/gear
What is best connection from Ditti to macbook pro 2013 running Big Sur?
Not sure what a Ditti is sorry? Maybe ask over at the Create Record Release Facebook group at createrecordreleaae.com, or the Discord group here - studiolivetoday.com/discord.
Hello Pete, I hope everything is going smoothly for you. I have a puzzling situation to discuss. I recently bought Apple Type C headphones, and they function perfectly with my iPhone 15 and Android device Mi 11X. However, I'm facing an issue with compatibility on Mi 11X Pro, despite both phones being from the same brand and having the same USB output. Could you help me understand the reason behind this? Additionally, I'm contemplating purchasing a Nothing Phone 2, so I would appreciate it if you could check the compatibility with these headphones on the Nothing phone as well, if possible. and could you explain why this headphone is compactible with some android phones and some are not, even in same brand.
Hey there. Unfortunately I’m not an expert in USB-C tech for various phone models. I pretty much included everything I know in this video. Maybe ask over at the Create Record Release Facebook group at createrecordreleaae.com, or the Discord group here - studiolivetoday.com/discord.
@@PeteJohnsMusic Thank you so much for the prompt response 👍🏻
Correction: tb3 can support dual 4k at 60hz
Nice!
awesome
👍😎
Can I use thunderbolt docking station in laptop that doesn't have thunderbolt port ? If so, will it damage my laptop over time ?
It will generally work, but only be at USB 3 speeds if you’re using USB-C.
@@PeteJohnsMusic thanks for taking time out your busy life to reply to me. It truly meant a lot . you're a nice person
Please. No one has clearly answered this question from me. Is usb c and thunderbolt the same form factor? The same connector? They look identical. I get that the cables are wired differently but my understanding is they’re both the exact same mm in width and height and physically they’re interchangeable right? Because i have power cords that fit into my samsung and my mac book air. They seem physically physically the same. They charge equally well. Maybe the power isn’t good for them both but it seems to work for short bursts. Maybe my MacBook air isn’t thunderbolt?
USB type C is the connector type you’re referring to. It typically carries USB 2, 3 or 4 speeds up to the maximum “Thunderbolt” standard. You can use higher bandwidth cables with lower bandwidth devices and they will work, but not at the same speeds.
Power delivery is different and depends more on the input power of the A/C adapter. Smaller capacity chargers will work on larger capacity devices, but not charge them as effectively.
@@PeteJohnsMusic so is tat a yes? They are physically the same form factor?
Hey Pete. Can you please point me to the video you did a few days back where you typed words into distrokid and it made an AI photo. 🙏
Hey mate. Go to DistroPic.com. It was in last week’s YML show. czcams.com/video/6jpsngx-ehc/video.html
@@PeteJohnsMusic thanks Pete 👍
my laptop have only type c . so how can convert it in thunderbolt type c ??? because I can't charge it with tupe c cable
Hey there. Most charging can be done by just USB-C. So maybe give another cable a try.
Can a thunderbolt dock make it work on USB C 3
Make what work sorry? Thunderbolt is backwards compatible with USB-C.
@@PeteJohnsMusic my Apollo x6 is thunderbolt I have the correct cable but it doesn't work on my hp 15 ec 1010nr but it says thunder bolt device working properly
3:45 u lost me here.. I wonder u can show us how it is done
Maybe check out the website for more info. studiolivetoday.com/usb
