Targus 182 Dock not connecting

Hi, I have just bought a 2024 Mac Book Air M3, and am desperately trying to use a Targus DOCK182 USB-C docking station, in order to use additional screen. When I plug into the Mac it charges, but I cannot do anything else, and when I click 'Detect Displays' in Displays, nothing happens. Any ideas?

MacBook Air 15″, macOS 15.7

Issue with connecting MacBook Pro 2019 with Targus Dock460 (Supports thunderbolt 3 and 4) I am experciencing a issue when connecting my Macbook Pro 16 inch, 2019 tot a Targus460 docking. The setup consists of a ViewSonic Viewboard and a Targus Dock460. The docking station is mounted under the table and connected to the Viewboard with HDMI. The system works flawlessly with Windows laptops. However, complications arise when connecting a MacBook (in this case, a Pro 2019). The Viewboard does detect a signal — the ‘no input’ screen disappears and the resolution is displayed correctly — but the screen remains black. At the same time, the MacBook screen only shows backlight, without any image. (see video via this link:https://we.tl/t-yqYNYFA2Rm) After that I can't enter the display settings on the Macbook. The customer previously used a Targus 310-EUZ50 dock, but switched to the 460 version to avoid installing DisplayLink drivers for Mac users. According to the specifications on the Targus website, the 460 dock supports Thunderbolt 3 and 4, which should be compatible with the MacBook Pro 2019. Is there something I am overlooking, or a step we are doing wrong? I would love to hear how I can resolve this. Thanks in advance.

MacBook Air M1 Docking Station issue Hi, I'm trying to use an i-tec USB-C Docking Station with my MacBook Air M1, I currently have 2 monitors connected too the Dock both via HDMI and the Dock is connected via a USB-C cable too the MacBook. The dock also has a Keyboard and a Mouse attached too it which is working fine, only issue is I can't get the Displays too work, the displays aren't being detected by my Mac. As suggested I have rebooted the computer, unplugged the dock etc but nothing. I have also disconnected one of the displays from the dock but still nothing. I can get the Mac too work with an external Monitor using a USB-C too HDMI adaptor. I'm aware that the M1 MacBook Air is limited too just one external display but would assume that at least one display would work. I don't think the Docking Station is the issue as it works fine with my HP Elitebook G6 that I use for work. Any suggestions/help would be much appreciated Many Thanks

Dock Display Port, No Show - Sabrent Thunderbolt 3 NVMe SSD Docking Station Hello! We just got our new Macstudio-M2 Max and the Sabrent Thunderbolt 3 NVMe SSD Docking Station. It's all set and everything but the dock's display port. Display is not showing up even with a brand new cable (DP-HDMI). But when I try a USB-HDMI hub/adapter, it does show up. I am planning to use it as a second monitor. Any ideas? Thank you very much!
