1/8" audio line-in cable for the iPhone?

I just bought a Kaossilator (and it's the best thing ever--search for it on YouTube). Long story short: I need to be able to record on the iPhone through the 1/8" jack--does anyone know of a cable that (like the iPhone headphones) will allow me to bring an audio signal into the iPhone?
I assume I need a proprietary cable (in fact, I've already tried a standard 1/8" to 1/8" stereo cable, and it didn't work). However, I'm not sure where I'd find such a thing, and I thought maybe your gurus would know.
I have an original iPhone.
Thanks for your help!

That's actually the cable I've already tried--and it didn't work. Typical balanced 1/8" cables only seem to send an audio signal OUT from the iPhone.
I think I need a cable with the same connections/(wiring?) as the headphones that incorporate microphones--how they're different, I'm not sure, but they must be.
Anyone know what makes the iPhone headphone cable special? Or where I can find that sort of cable with a female 1/8" jack instead of earbuds?
Thanks for your help, everybody!

Does apple sell a longer charging cable for the iphone?

Type "USB extension Cable" into Google and you can choose from many places.
Probably Best Buy, Radio Shack, Circuit City,etc.

Video cable for the Iphone 3G - audio only, no video output to TV

I have been reading that with the iphone 3G you HAVE to buy apples video cables in order to play back video on your TV, is this true?
I just got a cable for christmas and it isn't officially licensed by apple and the video does not output to the TV, only the audio. I hope this isn't the case, but maybe it is true??
If my cable isn't working because of some need (forced on us by apple) to only use "apple" cables I will never purchase videos from itunes. It seems rather trivial to have to buy proprietary cables for more $$ in order to buy videos from itunes doesn't it??
In other words... Give us more money so you can keep buying things from us.
Sorry, I am a bit frustrated.

Let's be constructive:
BUT WHY doesn't it work? and how can we fix it/make it work?
my cheap 'non apple' video cable works fine initially, then a message pops up about it not being an 'offcial' cable or some such, then asks if I want to enable airplane mode (both with or without it already disabled), and disables video out completely. Contrary to the many others that have overpaid for your proprietary cables; I'm NEVER EVER EVER EVER going to pay you for your atrociously overpriced cables, because you're action of 'disabling' 3rd party cables is monopolistic in any sense, destroys any hope competition in this area, hinders innovation by third party peripheral developers, and is downright unamerican imho because it does so. You've gone to far this time apple! I've come to the conclusion, you obviously don't care about functionality, as your hardware is almost always overpriced, proprietary, good looking junk, and you keep shaking my pockets for more money with your overpriced accessories and constant barrage of itunes streamery.
Anyway, how can I use my device to do video out on this officially licensed apple dock I have? It doesn't seem to work; and I paid a lot of money for it. If there isn't a solution; maybe you should give out refunds for all the devices that now don't work? Thanks

Any line-out cable for sleek pho

Hi, does anybody know any line-out cable for sleek photo like those for ipod? I do find some 3rd party cable for vision M wonder if it can be used with sleek photo as they share the same sync cable and based on some other threads it seems the sleek photo can use the sync adapter(which says for Vision M) to have line-out.

Hi, lil
Do u mean the sync adapter or a 3rd party line-out cable? If it's adapter can I conclude that a 3rd party cable would work as well?

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.

What is the best charging cable for the iPad Air (that is not made by Apple)? I need a long cable (over 6ft or more). I also need the cable to be of high quality and the cord part of the cable to be made of strong material.

What is the best charging cable for the iPad Air (that is not made by Apple)? I need a long cable (over 6ft or more). I also need the cable to be of high quality and the cord part of the cable to be made of strong material. Apple does not make one this long. Is there a cable out there that is sturdy like this and is safe to use?

yes, but I'm trying to use my iPad to type notes (using pages) and I have the smart case which I use as a stand. I need a cable long enough to fit through the back of my desk and the charging brick for the iPad won't fit behind the desk. I have to put it on the floor and then the apple cables aren't long enough to reach.

I am having trouble with the initial connection. I have isolated the problem to the cable/ connection. My new hdmi cable has a resolution up to 1080p...does the resolution matter?is this the right hdmi cable for the apple tv?

There are only two types of HDMI cables (standard and high speed - listen to all 1.2, 1.3 etc etc nonsense they will try to tell in the store) both types will work with the Apple TV.
The cable may be faulty though, have you got another to try, what exactly is happening.

Can you add a line on 10/7/11 or only upgrdae for the iPhone 4S ?

I was wondering if the pre order for the iPhone 4S was only for upgrading or could you add a line as well?

Yes, you can add a line and pre-order the iPhone4s.

Why is the cable for the shuffle so short

why is the cable for the shuffle so short<should there be 2 cables.I have to havemy ipod dangling from the side of my computer(i have an all in one)

Assuming you have a 4th gen shuffle, it should be fine hanging off the computer, since the shuffle is so light. You can think of that cable that comes with the 4th gen shuffle as being more of an "adapter."
If you want a long cable, you can buy the replacement part. It comes with both a short adapter (like the one you have) and a long cable.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC003ZM/A/apple-ipod-shuffle-usb-cable
I use a USB hub, which I can conveniently locate on my desk. I connect the shuffle (and my other iPod/iPhone) to the hub. If you want a hub, make sure you get one that is self-powered (it has it's own power supply).

'The cable for the PCI Ethernet is not plugged in' error

Hi everyone, I've installed a PCI network card for my G5, 1.8 (later model) single processor, and checked to make sure the card has the Realtek chips.
I've tried the D-Link DGE-528T which is meant to be OSX compatible but to no avail. I get the 'The cable for the PCI Ethernet is not plugged in' message. I've then tried the Pluscom with Realtek 8169 chip and again, get the same message.
I have a good understanding of networking, have installed several drivers, sometimes manually and I've used the terminal to recode the permissions. I've also removed the extension cache file but still no luck. I've also made sure to follow each install path from the package file and remove any older drivers. I've also installed the card in slot 1.
I don't think it is the card. Does anyone have any other ideas I could try?

Where did you get the drivers?
I've heard of people using D-Link routers, and even D-Link's USB/Wireless adapter, but I've never encountered anyone using a D-Link PCI ethernet card. A quick search didn't find any drivers and without that you're not going to get very far. I'm mildly impressed that the OS recognizes the card at all.

Do the cables for the 700p work with the 700wx?

I used to have a treo 700p that I broke when I dropped it from a 2nd story balcony onto concrete. I still have the box and whatever cables came with it. Now, I'm able to buy a 700wx for a real low price, but the seller only has the phone and the charger for it, no other cables. Would the cables for my 700p, like the sync cable work with the 700wx? If they would, this would work out real nice!
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Sprint)

Yes it will work most of the cables for the Treo series will work as it is an interchangeable cable, there is some exceptions, but in your case it will work.

Dimensions of the 160-Pin Cable for the NI PXI-2530B

Hello,
My mechanical design team wants to know the measurements of the 160-Pin Cable for the NI PXI-2530B. It will be a while before we receive the cable we ordered. I could not find a data sheet with the measurement details; are they? Alternatively, is Figure 1 in the Installation Instructions drawn to scale?: http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/375656b.pdf
Thanks!
Solved!

What dimensions are you looking for?
I'm a little surprised that the length of the cables is not included in the datasheets (I did just look!) - I thought that when I ordered cables for the older-style PXI-2530 modules in my lab that the length was specified in the part description.
If you need the dimensions of the connectors, you can do a little reverse-engineering and identify the dimensions of the various components. The connector to the module is an LFH-160. The Digikey P/N for the body of a connector is WM4099-ND. It may be difficult to find the dimensions of the backshells, however. The 4 terminal block connectors are standard 50-pin D-Subs. There are many examples out whose dimensions you can review.

Are the usb cables for the iPad 2 and iPhone 4s interchangeable?

Can I use my usb cable provided by my ipad 2 to connect my iPhone 4s to my iMac or vice versa. I noticed the usb cable for the iPad 2 is slightly thicker. Doesn't it mean it's better or faster in terms of transmission of data? Thank you.

Identical cables.

Shorter USB cable for the Dinc 2

Looking for a shorter length USB cable than the one that came with the phone.
Does anyone know if they make a short length (less than 3') USB cable for the Dinc 2?
If so where could I get one?
Thanks again.

You have heard of 'Tethering' witch is only available on the iPhone but not in the US (thank you AT&T). That is only for using the iPhone to connect a computer to the internet. Sorry
