USB ACCESSORY NEEDS POWER
I have plugged my USB-C multimedia hub into the port on my MacBook Air and then to the new USB Superdrive but I just get the message that USB Accessory needs power. What am I doing wrong?

Are you connecting the SuperDrive to a USB-A port on the hub? A SuperDrive needs more power than a USB-A port provides. USB-A ports on Apple computers (and keyboards) can provide the extra power, but your hub's USB-A ports may not do it. It should work from a USB-C port with a USB-C to USB adapter.

You are welcome. Thank you for that.
If you are referring to TurboTax check the box to see if the program is mac compatible. It used to be only Windows.
