connecting old keyboard to new Mac
I'm trying to connect my old wired Apple keyboard to my new MacBook Air. I'm using an adapter to plug the old USB cable into the new Mac, but it's not picking it up. Any suggestions?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.7
Ok, this keyboard came out in 2007 (& discontinued in 2017) and supports the USB 1.1 or 2.0 standard with a USB-A connection type.
In theory, the Anker adapter you are using, should work.
Have you tried connecting it to all available USB-C ports on your Mac? Do you have, or can use another's Mac that has USB-A ports that you can try out this keyboard with? ... or one with USB-C to test out both the Anker adapter & keyboard?
