sporran

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'accessory for mac?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'pro succeeded with reconfiguration and ran' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'pro' is 'por' which is present in the answer.
'succeeded' could be 'ran' (running is a kind of succeeding) and 'ran' is found within the answer.
A single letter 's' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
