Question 1

A user's USB-C hub stops working after connecting it to a Mac running macOS Ventura. Which step should you perform first to isolate the issue?

Testing with a different Mac or cable isolates whether the issue is with the hub, the cable, or the specific Mac's port.

Question 2

Which macOS feature allows a Mac to act as a printer host so other devices on the network can share that printer?

Accepted Answer

Printer Sharing in System Settings

Answer

Printer Sharing in System Settings (formerly System Preferences) lets a Mac share a locally connected printer over the network.

Question 3

A customer's Magic Mouse is not tracking correctly on their desk surface. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

Dirty or reflective surface interfering with the optical sensor

Answer

Optical mice can track poorly on highly reflective, transparent, or dirty surfaces that confuse the sensor.

Question 4

When using an Apple Studio Display connected to a MacBook Pro, a user reports the display's built-in camera is not recognized. What should you check first?

Accepted Answer

If the display's USB-C cable is fully seated in the Thunderbolt port

Answer

The Studio Display's camera, speaker, and microphone only function when connected via the included Thunderbolt cable that also carries data; a loose connection drops those devices.
