Only if the hard drive is a Thunderbolt 3 drive.

You did not state which hard drive it is, so I cannot answer definitely. The hard drive could be using Thunderbolt 3 or USB.

If the hard drive is a USB drive, then you should use a USB-A to USB-C cable. If you're using a 2011 iMac (USB 2.0), then this would allow up to 480 Mbps. If you're using a 2012 iMac (USB 3.0), then this would allow up to 5 Gbps. If the hard drive supports USB 3.1 gen 2 (10 Gbps) and can transfer data faster than 5 Gbps, and you want to use that extra speed, then you could connect it to a USB-C port of most Thunderbolt 3 devices that have two USB-C ports. USB 3.1 Gen 2 requires macOS High Sierra. You would have to use the Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter to connect the Thunderbolt 3 device to your iMac, then connect your hard drive to that Thunderbolt 3 device.

Hi Mr. H. W. A. , you can restore your files with Migration Assistant , to pen the Migration Assistant , go to Launchpad then Open the folder Other , then look for Migration Assistant and open it.

The Migration Assistant will start with a screen asking you how do you want to transfer your information from a Mac ,a Time Machine Backup or another disk(This is the default option)

Make sure that you are in the same network of the Time Capsule , then in the next screen select the Time Machine Backup disk(if you don't know , which one to choose , choose the disk with a green hard disk ,with a symbol of a arrow and in clock inside the arrow)

After you selected the time machie disk, the Migration Assistant will ask you to select witch backup you want to transfer, after the selection of the backup ,another screen will show up , asking to confirm what you would like to transfer from the backup
( The default option is everything, just a important thing , you can't select which documents&data ,you want to recover , but you can't do thus ,with apps and the Mac settings )

After you selected which information you want to recover ,select continue , and your Mac will ask if you want to encrypt your disk, this is important step ,because if you macbook is stolen ,nobody can access your information , ( i would recommend the encryption of your disk , the Mac may be slower ,but is better for security purpose)

After you select if you want FileVault or not , your information from the time capsule will began to restore

After this ,you can start using your Mac , with all your information previous from when the hard drive crashed

Sorry for the long Answer

Yes. However it only supports 10/100Mbps speeds and not gigabit. The thunderbolt to RJ45(ethernet) adapter isn't supported by the MacBook Air.

I assume you are referring to an iPhone 6s, unfortunately, you can't. You can plug it into your Mac and it will charge, (possibly at a reduced rate), but to use iTunes to sync and back up to your computer, you need iTunes 12.5, which requires OS X 10.9 (Mavericks).

Mavericks or higher should be available as a free upgrade in the App Store in Snow Leopard, but if you are on an unsupported machine, you are out of luck, I'm afraid.

On the other hand, Apple has made it very easy to use the iPhone without requiring a computer, with iCloud. You could opt for, say, 200GB of storage for about three bucks a month which should be more than plenty for your backups, with room to spare for photos, app data, et cetera.

Even if you don't decide to get additional cloud storage, you get a base 5GB for no cost.

Presuming you are referring to the new 12in. MacBook, the answer is yes. You may use a, rather pricey 79$ multi- adapter. Your options are: 1) USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter; and 2) USB-C VGA Multiport Adapter. The former gives you HDMI, USB, and charger. The latter, VGA, USB, and charger.

Yes, in fact AirPods can be used with any Bluetooth device. The added benefits however are limited to Apple devices.

I used it successfully on a MacBook (2015) with macOS Sierra (10.12), by attaching a USB-C to USB adapter into which I connected a USB to Ethernet Adapter. Hope that helps.

Support advised me that it comes with a one year warranty.
