30 pin cable cause damage?

Hi there, I have an iPad 2 - it's only a month old and have plugged it in 2 times I think. Is it normal for small marks to appear on the inside edge of the aluminium of the cable dock? You can see a mark either side of where the cable attaches? Is anyone elses like this?
I also find you really need to push the cable in hard - I feel like i'm going to break it!
Many thanks
Emma

Are you sure that the small marks on the inside of the aluminum aren't the tiny slots that allow the tiny extended connector edges on the dock connecter end of the cable to fit into the dock? I have the iPad 1 but it has tiny slots to allow for the connecter to slide in the opening on the iPad.
Like I said, I do have the iPad 1, but I read early on with the release of the iPad 2, because of the thinner design and the curve of the bottom edge, that the connector was a little harder to push in and met with a little more reststance than than the connector on the original iPad.
You should not have to force it, but it has to be pushed in firmly.

  • Is there a way one can safely remove the keys on a macbook pro lap top and clean under them without causing damage? Or is it best to just take it in for that.... say if one spilled a small amount of maple syrup? Help please.

    Is there a way to remove, clean, and safely re-affix the keys on a macbook pro without causing damage.... or is it best to let the Pro's do it?

    i would let the pros do it. ive dismantled my mbp before and its a pain with all the little parts. you basically have to remove everything from the bottom up (logic board, ram, all cables, cd drive) to get to the keyboard.
    how much junk you got under those keys? the space between the metal and keys are small, unlike a pc laptop (though most pc laptops have easier keyboards to remove) .

  • The digital Aviv adapter is an extremely tight fit to iPad 2. Will it cause damage?

    The digital Av adapter is an extremely tight fit to iPad 2. Will it cause damage to the iPad port or adapter itself due to the clips on the sides of the pins?

    Since we do not have your device it hand it is hard to how tight is too tight but, generally, these adapters will loosen up over usage. You definitely do not want the adapter to be loose.

  • BT Dispute - Power surge caused damage to the Fron...

    I am currently in dispute with BT re Engineer Call Out for £99. His report states that a power surge caused damage to the NTE5 (Network Terminal Equipment) Service Specific Front Plate which caused me to have no dial tone. Broadband Infinity was unaffected.
    He told me at the time that there had been a lightening strike in the area and was having to change face plates for a lot of customers but the official report states "I arrived at the site and found that the fault was on the NTE5 (Network Terminal Equipment) Service Specific Front Plate due to power surge. I changed the plate. The eclipse was tested OK. I tested and demonstrated the working of the line with the customer"
    Is a  power surge a feasible explanation? What would cause such a situation?

    Yes i know he's been charged, what i was trying to say was under openreach rules the repair should have been free... here is a copy direct from openreaches charging section...

    Openreach is responsible for any lightning damage to its network and overhead or underground cabling. It is not liable for any compensation or the repair/replacement costs for End User owned wiring or apparatus damaged by lightning.
    If there is lightning damage to the external network, dropwire, aerial cable routes, poles or exchanges then Openreach will not charge for the replacement of the NTE or Master Socket. The NTE can be damaged as a result of inductive lightning; this is where a strike takes place within proximity of the Openreach Network causing an induced current surge damaging the NTE and / or End User Apparatus, but with no other signs of damage to the Network. There should still be NO charge for the NTE replacement.
    Where there is damage to the End User owned wiring and/or apparatus with no damage to the Openreach network i.e. confirmation of a good test result with equipment unplugged, then a visit charge should be raised.
    Where there is lightning and power surge damage to the End User owned wiring and Openreach has been authorised to carry out a repair then this work will be chargeable under TRC for time and materials. A visit charge will not be raised if the engineer is required carry out any repair to the Openreach network on the premises due to lightning damage on the same visit.

  • Can other digital equipment too close to iMac cause damage?

    I was curious if anyone knew if other digital equipment  (like a cable box) can cause damage to the iMac graphics or any type of damage for that matter?  I ask because I have a cable box right above my Mac. I had problems with my last iMac where the graphics went out, then eventually the whole computer just went out on me. I have a new iMac now and this morning I went to log in and the graphics began to act funny, everywhere I dragged my cursor  on the screen left a trail if grey behinnd it,almost looked as if I were playin the "draw something" game. I re-strated my comp, and so far it's working fine now. Can anyone help?
    Thanks!

    I don't see how a cable box or any other digital equipment could cause any problems with your Mac unless the box is causing some sort of power flucuations. I suspect it was just an temporarily anomaly, though if you're having recurrent such problems, your AC power may be iffy and a power conditioner such as this one:

    may be a worthwhile investment.

  • I have an external drive - WD My Passport FOR MAC. I want to format it to work on both mac and windows. Which format do you think I should use? Will either one cause damage to the files on the hard drive?

    I have an external hard drive - WD My Passport FOR MAC. I want to format it to work on both mac and windows. I also want to be able to connect it to my TV and watch movies.
    I read up and I think I am supposed to use exFAT or FAT32? I also saw MS-DOS. Which format should I should use? Will any of them cause damage to the files on the hard drive?
    My little memory stick uses MS-DOS and it works on both mac and windows.
    Please can you just tell me a little about each and suggest which one to use.
    I know how to change it once you tell me so don't waste your time writing about changing it.

    Will any of them cause damage to the files on the hard drive?
    WARNING: FORMATTING A DRIVE ERASES IT COMPLETELY !!
    If you need to carry large files (e.g., larger than about 4GB) back and forth, you may need ExFAT. Otherwise MS-DOS works for smaller files.
    The Mac can Read, but not write Windows New Technology File System (NTFS) without an add-on program such as Paragon NTFS.

  • My new MacBook Pro and Imac can't recognize my digital video camera (Canon GL2) via FireWire 800 9 pin to 4 pin cable.

    My new MacBook Pro and Imac can't recognize my digital video cameras (Canon GL2 or Sony) via FireWire 800 9 pin to 4 pin cable. I've tried two different cables.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    Is your DV camera plugged in to AC power (not batteries only)? When you step down from 9 pins to 4 pins, you lose the "power" pins.

  • SATA cable - cause hard drive errors?

    Hi,
    Apologies for yet another post...I've been inundating you with questions in the past week!
    My iMac is in for repair, after having the flashing question mark appear and not being able to see the drive in disk utility. Tech Tools scan also showed about 30 errors on the surface scan of the drive. The repair place has just called and left a message that the problem was the SATA cable, and that they've fixed it with a new cable. My question is - would a faulty SATA cable cause errors on the drive? I'm guessing they haven't even checked that, they've just got the drive communicating again....I have very little faith in this place, I must admit.... but just thought I'd ask the question here..
    Thanks in advance.

    If you already replaced the hard drive you should know where the cables are and where they go. One is the SATA power cable that goes directly to the power supply and the other is the SATA data cable that goes to the motherboard.
    So disconnect the data cable from the HDD and from the motherboard and buy the same length cable at any PC shop or web site. SATA data cables are standard and nothing unique. Just remember where the motherboard connector is.
    Freezes can be caused by lots of different things and I'd investigate those before replacing the data cable.
    Have you run the diagnostics on the RAM, which is a frequent cause of freezes? Have you reseated the RAM modules in their slots? Do you have the latest drivers, eg video driver, for your hardware?
    Are there any updates to your apps and software?
    Do the freezes happen when you're running a specific app? Since this seems to happen on the Linux partition is something not fully compatible with Linux..?

  • Can an old monitor with a 15-pin cable connector be used with an adaptor with a 24-pin port on a Mac Pro?

    My Eizo240W monitor is dimming after (16,000 hours) and while I have it repaired I want to use my old ViewSonic monitor but the cable is a 15-pin and won't work in the Mac Pro's 24-pin cable port.  Does anyone know if there is an adaptor for this situation?

    but there are no specific drivers for a ViewSonic with a Mac
    There are no specific Drivers for ANY display on a Mac.
    Instead, the Mac asks the display for its name and capabilities, and sets the resolution of an independent display based on those answers. However, VGA is not the best way to interface, and the resolution may limited by the grapahics card.

  • S-video on 7-pin cable problem

    Hi, I have problem with my s-video on laptop 3000 N200 (0769). When I connecting s-video 7-pin cable to the laptop - other side to TV (chinch), nothing happend. No CTRL+F7, no detection even when I try open gma control panel. BUT when I connecting 4-pin cable to the laptop - other side to TV (chinch) I have a black & white picture, when I click on gma control panel icon. So the s-video is working but seems only on 4-pin cable (but why in B&W?) And why s-video doesn't work on 7-pin cable ?? Any sugestions? 
    Sorry for my english  
    Best regards, pepe99. 

    First of all, I can't enter to the options of GMA when I'm connected with 7-pin s-video (because there are no connection/nothing happen) These options only enable when I connect 4-pin svideo to laptop. And then I could change PAL/NTSC - but there are no changes. My TV don't have option to change system, I'm from Poland so I believe it is PAL system BUT What's going on with this 7-pin connector??????? Cable was check on another laptop with 7-pin input - guest what? There was beautiful COLOR picture - cable is OK.

  • Mac Mini to new iMac via FireWire (9-pin to 6-pin cable necessary?)

    I can't seem to find a straight answer on this.
    Am I correct in assuming that the only FireWire cable that can be used to connect a Mac Mini to a new iMac is a 9-pin to 6-pin cable such as http://store.apple.com/us/product/TP320LL/A?mco=MzE2OTkyOA ?
    6-pin cables won't fit in the new iMac? I don't have the iMac yet so I can't check.
    Thanks,

    Or you can just get an adapter and use your existing FireWire 400 cable.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/FIR1369AD/
    Or you can use a standard Ethernet cable and use +Fire Sharing+. Both your Macs would have gigabit Ethernet ports, so as long as the cable is Cat-5e or better, it would be pretty fast.

  • I accidentally dropped my Iphone 5s on the ground which caused damage on the corner edge of the phone.  Is there a hope this can get repaired? My phone is still within the first year warranty. I hope to hear from you. Thank you.

    I accisentally dropped my iphone on the ground causing damaged on the
    corder edge of the phone. Can this still be repaired? My phone is still within the first year warranty. I hope to hear from you. Thank you

    The standard iPhone warranty does not cover accidental damage. Apple will fix it, but they will charge the full repair cost.
    The AppleCare+ warranty for the phone, which you can buy within 30 days of the iPhone purchase, does cover two incidents of accidental damage and repairs are charged at $75 I believe.
    Your carrier warranty, if you have one, may cover accidental damage - check with them.

  • Ethernet cable causes RF interference?

    I have an AE that won't output audio w/o a church radio station on top of the Airtunes. It's really loud in comparison to the Airtunes signal, but when I unplug the ethernet cable the interference goes away. That's great and all, but I don't really like having a router that can't connect to my cable modem. Interference robustness doesn't do anything. Neither does changing channels. Any suggestions? I'm also using a generic Comcast-provided Motorola cable modem. Thanks for any help.
    PowerBook G4, 1.67 gHz, 1GB RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Well, I first suspected that it was a ground problem and started unpluging the power from anything else I had plugged into the same power strip as the AE and clearing other cables out of the way. But then I unplugged the ethernet from the modem to get to another power cable and the radio station disappeared. It doesn't matter where it's unplugged from, just as long as the modem is not connected to the router. This tells me it's not RF interference on the audio cable, cause it sounds fine once the ethernet is out. I wouldn't think Apple would have the audio out and ethernet in connected or unshielded enough to cause this kind of problem, but maybe not. I will try the ground loop isolator cause it can't hurt, but I really think it's something inside the AE or modem. And unfortunately optical is not an option.
    I will let you know what the ground loop isolator does. And thanks to both of you for responding.
