Q: How do I install my USB video adapter in Mac OSX 10.8.x - 10.12.x, or 10.14.x?

Note: Do not physically connect the USB video adapter to your computer until instructed to (Step 7). Download the latest drivers from the StarTech.com website ( http://www.startech.com/Support ). You can find the part number and product ID on the product’s packaging. Note : Mac OS X will typically save the files to the Downloads folder that is associated with your user account (for example, hard_drive_name \Users\ your_name \Downloads). Double-click the DisplayLink.zip file. Double-click the MAC OS folder. Double-click the appropriate folder for your operating system . Double-click the DisplayLink Installer 75598.dmg file. Follow the prompts to install the new drivers. Restart the computer when prompted. Once Mac OS X has restarted, connect the USB video adapter to your computer. Note: Installation might take several seconds to complete. During the installation your display might flicker; this is normal. Once the installation has completed you will see your Macintosh desktop extended to the additional monitor.
