USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter for MacBook Pro not working I purchased the USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter from Apple 1 month ago. The only port in this adapter that works is the USB-A. The USB-C port does not work. Is this a malfunction of the equipment or is there a setting on the MAC that will fix this problem?

USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter not connecting to monitor or battery USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter used to charge and connect my macbook air to external monitor suddenly stopped working. After checking all connection points (power cord, power adapter, HDMI cord) and found no issues connecting to other devices without the multiport adapter I purchased a new adapter which also did not work. Thinking I got a faulty device I purchased a THIRD adapter and this one cannot connect either. Even connecting any of these three to a power source, charging cable and my iphone did not work. Is it possible that all 3 adapters are faulty or is there a way to troubleshoot?

I have a Macbook Air late 2015. I have just bought an Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter. My Macbook Air doesn't charge nor pass through to the HDMI port. Is this device compatible ? I sent the first one back. I have done an SMC reset. I have a Macbook Air late 2015. I have just bought an Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter.

I tried connecting the hub to my MacBook but no alert was given (nor did any other device I tested it on). Several peripherals, such as a wireless mouse, wired earphones, USB sticks, etc., didn't work with the USB-A and USB-C included ports. The VGA-port has not been put to test yet, but from all these tests, the hub appears to be faulty.

The USB-C is a Charge-ONLY port on those adapters. It will not transfer data at speed.

in what way is it failing? display? USB? charging?

what are your gross symptoms?
