30 Pin to Lightning exchange?

I still have 2 30 pin chargers from my iPhone 4,that I used for home and school. Would Apple exchange them for lighting chargers, or do I have to buy new chargers?

Why on earth would they exchange them ?..........
Of course you will have to buy them

Will Apple make a 30-pin to lightning connector that will work with a case?

Why did Apple make the 30-pin to lightning connector useless when you have a case on your iPhone 5/5s? The lightning connector part isn't long enough to fit inside when using Apple's own cases (i.e. the new leather cases for the 5s). Does anyone know if there are plans to correct this mistake and lengthen the connector?

From the reviews on Apple's site, the cabled adaptor does NOT work with Apple's own case - the lightning plug is too fat :-(

30 pin to lightning adapter broken?

My official apple 30 pin to lightning adapter has randomly stopped working. It worked in my car and on my dock, but all of a sudden the ipod says device not supported when connected and the dock doesn't connect at all. Tried girlfriend's iphone 5 and same result on the dock and in the car. Any advice or is it just the adapter that has broken? Thanks

Have checked for fluff and given it a good blow to clear anything out. The ipod charges fine with the lightning usb charger but still no joy. As the iphone didn't work either I suspect the chip may have failed. I purchased 6 November 2013 so just in the 12 months warranty so it looks as though a trip to the apple store may be required.
Thank you

30 pin to lightning adapter revised? How to purchase original version?.

In November of 2012 I ordered a 30 pin to lightning adapter through Amazon. It had the model number A1468 on the back. I believe Apple was the supplier for this part as it had all their standard info printed on the back of the adapter.
I used it with my iPhone 5 and later with my iPad mini to work with my Altec Lansing T612 stereo speaker docks. It worked great. It charged and it passed audio through.
Fast forward to this month and I purchase another adapter through Amazon using the same product link. It won't charge or pass audio. I try a second vendor and same issue. I also try 4XEM and theirs charges, but won't pass audio.
I go to the Apple store in town and purchase one. I notice immediately the part is wider than mine and not as tall. It also doesn't match the picture on the box. It doesn't charge or pass audio. My working adapter from 2012 looks like the picture on the box. Seems to me the part was revised.
How can I purchase more of these earlier versions of this adapter?

I have several genuine Apple 30/lightning adapters
Just compared one purchased back last Sept direct from Apple online at iPhone 5 release and one purchased couple of weeks ago at an Apple Retail store ,both unquestionably genuine Apple
They are identical
I was not aware that Amazon was selling genuine Apple adapters last year ,however there were many unlicenced
copies around and certainly on Amazon .
The description you give of the box is nothing like the detail on a Genuine Apple product ,in front of me now.

30 Pin cable combined with a 30 pin to Lightning Adapter (iPhone 5 problem)

Hey guys, I Have an iPhone 5.
I have an old iPhone 4 cable (official apple) and a lightning adapter (again, official apple) and I can charge from the wall no problem, however I don't seem to be able to connect it to my laptop for iTunes to recognise it?/
It's not the usb ports as I borrowed my brother's iPhone 5 lightning cable and that seems to work perfect, is there any reason why this doesn't work?

If you mean the 30 pin to lightning adapter, then it should be from apple. It was pretty expensive and if i google the item number on google, Applestores webpage showes up as number 2 so it should be authentic!
Item number:
MD823ZM/A

Why doesn't a genuine Apple 30 pin to Lightning adapter work with an iPhone 6 Plus?

Hello all - I was wondering if anyone else out there was having an issue with their Apple 30 pin to Lightning adapter not working with their new iPhone 6 Plus? The adapter worked fine with my iPhone 5, but since I got my new phone, I keep getting the message that says that "this accessory may not be compatible..." Did Apple change something with their Lightning ports? Should I purchase a new 30 pin to Lightning adapter? This is annoying! I have used it in my car (Kia) for over a year with an iPhone 5 and it worked flawlessly.

Howdy nanster23,
If you have as yet been unable to use this 30pin to lightning bolt adapter, I would like to recommend the troubleshooting in the following article to help you get that squared away:
If you need help with iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch accessories
These sections in particular since you have already done a couple of them:
Disconnect and inspect the accessory, then restart your device
Disconnect the accessory and turn it off, if possible.
Inspect the connection between the accessory and device and make sure that no debris or other damage is present.
Restart your iOS device by turning it off, then back on. When the Home screen appears, reconnect the accessory.
Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Restore your iOS device. You should rarely need to use this step with an accessory issue. If the issue only affects a third-party accessory, contact the manufacturer before restoring the device.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Will my iPhone 5 work in my 2010 Kia Soul after getting the 30-pin to lightning adapter?

My 2010 Kia Soul uses the cable that connects the USB and 1/8" jack to the 30-Pin. If I get the $30 adapter, will I still have controls from my factory radio like I did with my iPhone 4?

Thank you, but my question wasn't answered.
Will the Kia's stereo control the iphone's music and display the track info in the stereo's display as it does with all previous iPhones? I understand that I can play through it, but I do not want to be distracted from driving by having to control my music by picking up my phone and navigating that way.
Any answers from experience with this would be appreciated.
Thanks...

30 pin to 'Lightning' adaptor should be included in box, FOC!!!

It's a disgrace for Apple to charge for this adaptor. I spend £100's each year on their products and am now feeling ripped off while they hold back on features to make money on future releases but this is the last straw, making me pay for something THEY decided to change!!!!

Yes, an adaptor should have been included with every device.
But lets play devils advocate.
What if I was a brand new customer. Never owned an ipod or iphone with that old connector before and lets pretend they will never encounter a time when they need to borrow or use a charger or accessory from a friend. Why would that person want the adapter?
How about 5 years from now and the old connections are starting to become a memory like Firewire versions are now. If apple were including the adapter in the products when would it be ok for them to stop including it?
I'm not really ticked off about not including the adapter. My complaint is that they should be selling these things for far cheaper. It should be one of those rare items where Apple doesn't make any profit on selling them. Make it a $5 item. Cheap enough you can just buy one for every charger and dock device you have laying about and leave it there.
Lets hope it's a simple enough product that third parties can license the connector and produce cheaper versions and versions which might work better.
I'm thinking if I were a third party accessory maker I would be looking to make a converter that fits nicely into the old docking cradle space and covers it nicely with a new cradle to help the new phone stand up nicely.

Touch5 @ ios7 no longer works w/ Apple's Lightning-(nor 30 pin)-to-RCA-cable adapter BUT older ios5 Touch and ios7 ipads2

I'm a high school teacher and routinely project TED talk/podcast & other videos from my assorted Apple devices: Touch3 (ios 5), Touch5 (ios7) and iPads2&3 (ios7). I've successfully used Apple's 30pin-to-RCA, and 30pin-to-VGA, and 30-pin-to-Lightning-to-RCA cables/adapters. However, at ios7 upgrade to my Touch 5, projecting no longer works, at all, no sound, no video to projector. My 2 ipads (2 & 3 both at ios 7.0.2 continue to work fine as does my older Touch3 with ios 5.1.1. Prior to ios 7 upgrade to my Touch5, it also worked fine to my projector.
Please forward this info to Apple Education Tech Support folks for their eval and, hopefully, a specific fix to re-enable Touch5 usage of the Apple projector adapter cables. Thank you.

Have you tried:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

What exactly IS a Lightning to 30-pin adapter?

Hi everyone, first post here.
So, this week (hopefully), my Product Red, engraved, 5th Gen iPod touch is coming in. Although I didn't order a Lightning to 30-pin adapter, I may get one for Christmas. I have a Sony iPod Docking station (only works with earlier gens). Does the Lightning to 30-pin adapter have 30-pin on bottom and Lightning on top? So, like, it just plops right onto the Dock and then put my iPod 5th gen on top?
Thanks for any help.

This 30-pin to lightning dock adapter should be compatible with most of the docks.

this is UK store lin so you may want to check your coutrly apple store.

Is there a way to adapt an older ipod with 30-pin to a new dock with lightning connector?

Is there a way to adapt an older ipod with 30-pin to a new dock with lightning connector?

The Apple on-line store has two 30-pin to lightning adapters, but they are the wrong direction from what you want. Try a Google search, or drop in an Apple retail store and see if they have what you need.

Lightning Adapter (to 30 pin) work in old docking speaker?

Hi all
I want to know if i buy iphone 5 and buy the Lightning Adapter

I'm talking about an Apple "Universal Dock" that I used with my 4th gen iPod Touch, which was then connected to my Hi-Fi system via the audio connector on the back of the dock. Worked perfectly!
Now when I mount the Lightning Adapter (to 30 pin) on the dock, and then my new 5th gen iPod Touch, there's no audio out of that dock audio connector.
just had a chance to test your test
I took both a Universal dock and an iPad dock
Added the 30 pin adapter plugged in to both ( one at a time)
plugged in my iPhone 5 and then attached the dock to an external speaker via the
3.5mm socket and the Aux in on the speaker
played music on the iPhone 5 and it played perfectly through the speakers trying both docs
So sorry the 30 pin to Lightning adapter DOES transmit music

Are there any 30 pin female to lightning adapters that support video and audio together?

I have a wowwee cinemin slice projector and I wondering if there are any products that will convert the 30 pin to lightning that supports audio and video, since the Wowwee Cinemin Slice plays video through the iPhone, but currently only has the 30 pin adapter? Thanks so much.

yeah, and I can't believe that you can't buy sushi for breakfast, but there it is. Chris CA is right. Lightning will NOT support analog video out. It will do audio, though. So...your best bet would be to buy a Lightning digital AV adapter (2nd generation) then try to find an HDMI to 30 pin cable. I'm presuming that the wowee has a 30 pin socket on it... I see.... it also has a VGA and a mini-HDMI port on it, so you'll have to use the last two, perhaps, unless you can find cable that goes from HDMI to 30 pin male end, then 30 pin female to female, to finally connect with the wowee. I have yet to see a 30 pin female to female adapter, and I suspect there will never be one. I can't believe many things, either, scoody. Apple is not known for going backwards, once it has introduced a new standard. It may try to acommodate some people, but it will never be able to please everyone. In any event, I think it was mentioned by Apple that, in moving to Lightning, some 30 pin stuff might not work, and the wowee cinemin slice is probably one of those things...
welp--there you go

Can I use apogee jam on ipad 4 with lightning 30 pin adapter?

Can I use apogee jam on ipad 4 with lightning 30 pin adapter?

OKAY Mikivai73, here's what I found: no less than TWO cheap alternative-brand imitation connectors that go 30-pin to lightning, failed to even make apogee jam device light up blue.
Spent hours mucking with it. Finally tried proper genuine apple usb to lightning connector with the OTHER cable that comes in the apogee JAM box, and it worked straight off!
So, I am buying a genuine pukka APPLE 30-pin to lightning adaptor in the full expectation it will work, and have left questions for the Ebay guys who sold the two cheap (less than 5 pounds sterling) alternate adaptors.
For info, I got the Ipad 4,and the cheap adapters, one looks like the real apple one, right down to packaging, the other is a stumpy little thing, no cable just a plastic connector, with 30 pin one side, lightning other side.
That's it, I am ordering from the apple store now, can't be more certain than that.
best regards from sleekitwan.

Lightning (F) to 30 pin (M) adapter

I have an older i-pod, 30 pin. I just received a new docking station that has the lightning pin(?) for the i-phone 5. I need an adapter that goes from the lightning pin to the 30 pin (female lightning and male 30 pin.) Has anyone heard of this? Thank you

Have been trying to locate a lightning female to 30 pin male adapter for a friend with a mix of iOS devices and have had limited success.
MiniInTheBox.com has a corded-style adaptor which might work:

I have no experience with this vendor so cannot offer any comment regarding them. As with all third-party Apple adaptors, this adaptor could support only power as no details as to operational support are shown.
Another adaptor by Sandberg has been discontinued by the manufacturer but might still be found somewhere.
http://www.sandberg.it/product/Adapter-30pin-M-to-Lightning-F
This was offered on Amazon UK but they are currently out of stock - which is likely permanent if the manufacturer had discontinued the adaptor.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sandberg-Adapter-30pin-Lightning-440-45/dp/B009KZZ3LC
When I called my local Apple Store, I received a very polite but suspiciously contrived answer that Apple is "focused on forward planning" so did not offer a reverse Lightning to 30-pin adaptor. It had the quality of an official talking point given to employees for use in such circumstances.
From the rumors on the Web about Apple disallowing new iOS docking offering both a Lightning and 30-pin adaptor, the lack of a reverse Lightning to 30-pin adaptor could be related?
So while one of the above devices COULD do the job (if you could obtain it!), you would be taking a chance that everything would work correctly!
Good luck!
