Can I repair my charging cable?

I seem to go through charging cables fairly quickly. I'm pretty sure my 8-year-old is pulling them out of devices by pulling on them... thereby somehow making the wires not connect any longer. Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to reconnect them (i.e., fix them)? I'm thinking it might not be that big of a deal... and I hate to toss things that can be fixed.

I also hear cats are quite fond of them. They are quite inexpensive, especially if you go third-party. They also carry the same warranty as your iOS device. Even if you paid full-price at the Apple store, all Apple-Branded accesories have a one-year waranty.

Can I leave my charging cable plugged in after disconnecting my iPhone ?

Can I leave my charging cable plugged in after disconnecting my iPhone ?

Yes. You can leave the cable plugged into the iPhone, or you can leave the adapter plugged into the outlet. Both are fine. A study a couple you years ago found that the iPhone power adapters do not draw "vampire power" when left in the outlet.

Repairing damaged charging cables?

Has anyone had any luck repairing any damaged charging cables? I unfortunately have a cat that likes to "chomp" on them. Before I send the cat away, I would prefer to find a way to salvage the cables.
I would not need to use it for data sync, but repairing it to the point of being able to use them as a charging cable would help tremendously.
Thank you.

This works:

Do I have to use the cable that came with my i home iw3 or can I use the charging cable from my ipad air with an adapter?

Do I need the cable that came with I home iw3 to connect my ipad air or can I use the ipad charging cable with an adapter to connect?

Just from personal curiosity, which web pages did you visit with your question that had you end up here in the 10.3 and earlier forum Circa 2003 obsoleteware?
It seems a common fault with this Apple Spoort site that so many posts are made to this forum that are irrelevant.
Can you post a few links from your browser History, just for research?
To answer your question, to upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6 you need to purchase the 10.6 retail DVD such as from here.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
(For your home country use the Apple localised site.)
The DVD is reasonablly priced, and once installed you can upgrade your iTunes etc.

Where can I find longer charging cables

Are there any longer charging cables available that work for ipad (3rd gen)????

Or buy an ordinary mains extension cable at your local hardware store.
Wow .... what a great idea! Oh wait a second here ..... I have been using an extension cord since day one with both of my iPads and have been "pooh-poohed" for suggesting the very same thing to other users.
I suspect that using an extension cord is not super-uber-techno chic enough for the younger crowd.
I am amazed at how many users (from what I have seen around here) want to reject such a simple, inexpensive and practical solution.

Can't plug sync/charge cable into iPhone connector port

Somehow, some debris has found its way into the dock connector port on my iPhone. I think it may be a crumb from a bagel (now you know what I had for breakfast today). Anyway, before I realized this debris was in there, I attempted to plug in my connector cable but it wouldn't go in due to the debris. To make matters worse, I think that when I tried to plug in the cable, it only jammed it in further. I tried to get it out by gently tapping my iPhone against my hand and also blowing compressed air into the port with no success. I might be able to stick a pin or something similar in to get out the debris but I am afraid I might damage the contacts on the connector.
Any suggestions on how I can fix this problem? My iPhone needs to be charged so I need to get this fixed quickly.
Eric

I appreciate the word of caution although I had already thought of that.
Has anyone encountered a problem like this and have a solution? Is it safe to stick a tiny rigid object in there to get the obstruction out? If I head over to my local Apple store, would they be able to help me with this problem?

Can i use my shuffel charging cable on my nano?

No. The Shuffle charges through the headphone port, but the iPod nano has a separate charger port.

Extra long iPad charging cable.

Anyone know where I can get an extended charging cable for my iPad please.
I tried to use my USB extension attached to iPad cable but it won't work/charge, so I think it's best to get a longer independent cable instead, (well I'll get my carer to get one for me, unless I get one delivered lol)
I need the length to be at least 2 metres, as being disabled I need it to reach my bed from the plug point.
I have looked on amazon in uk but can't seem to find any.
Any and all help would be very appreciated indeed.
Just incase your wondering, I live in the uk so need to get one from this country if possible.

I own several of the ones from monoprice and other 3rd party makers (cable junkie). I think there must be significant current loss in those cables because they either don't work or charge very slowly. Of the 10 rooters I got from monoprice, only 1 registers as charging on my ipad but over night it only charged about 15%. The others won't charge at all. I think that's why apple doesn't sell long sync cables. Instead, their solution is a long ac cord that runs to the power block with a short sync cable.
Funny thing is I know it's physically possible to have a long sync cable. If you look in te windows of an apple store, the ipad is displayed on a stand and the sync cable is curled on the floor, must be over 10 feet in length. I ask at every store and no one knows where it came from or how to get one.

Wireless charging cable and wireless data cable

Dear Apple,
If you can create the wireless charging cable and a wireless data cable, this will be awesome and easier because my sister is young and she always break my charging cable and I'm not gonna keep buying an charging cable.
If you please can create these, for iPad 4 or earlier.
These have to contains wireless range at lest 15 feet
Thank you for your support

1. This is a user to user forum, Apple is not here.
2. If its wireless, then there is no cable. i.e Wireless means without wires a.k.a no cables.
3. If you want to suggest something to apple use the Feedback link.

Can you use the same charging cable for both an iPhone and an IPad or are they different? When I use the charging cable for my iPhone on my Ipad, it doesn't charge.

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

The charging cable now longer fits all the way in the charging port. I can't see if any lint is in there, but if there is how can I get it out?

Go to the Music section of your Library (very top-left corner) and see if your songs are there. The "Purchased" playlist may have been deleted or gotten corrupted, but if that happens it's not a big deal because your music should still be in your main Music Library.
If your music is NOT in the Music section of your Library, then go to the iTunes Store homepage and find the Quick Links list on the right side. At the top of that list, click Purchased and you can redownload all of your previous content that you might have lost.

I just connect my standard 3 foot cable that came with the iPad into the power block and plug the power block into an 8 foot standard white household extension cord. I have done this since day one and it works great.

My iphone 5 is stuck on a screen displaying the itunes symbol and a charging cable. I tried connecting it to itunes and it won't recognize it or anything. what can i do?

Turn it off by holding home+ power button untill the screen goes black ( as soon as it goes black, release the buttons).. This might take some practice , so dont worry if on the first try your phone reboots and goes to itunes screen again.
Now, with your phone powered off, enter DFU mode:
Method 1)
Attach the phone to the pc
Turn the phone off
Hold power and home together for *exactly* 10 seconds
Release power but keep holding home until the pc beeps as a USB device is recognized.
Whilist in dfu mode, itunes will recognize the device and it will ask you if you wish to restore it. Simply click restore, and the restoring proces will begin.
This will hopefully fix your iphone.
Cheers

Hi all. My charger cable broke up by the computer. I can fix it myself but I can find anywhere to buy the part. Can any one help?

Replacement MagSafe DC cables are not available. You'll need to work with the pieces you have or buy a new AC adapter (which would be the better choice).
