3G iphone Alpine Full Speed cable

I wonder why the 3g iphone doesnt support charging thru the alpine fullspeed cable? the previous iphone was able to charge while it was connected.... hopefully they can fix this problem with a future update...

The iPhone 3G doesn't support charging via Firewire through the port on the bottom. Existing iPods were able to sync and charge through Firewire. Later iPods only synced through USB but still allowed charging through Firewire.
See iPhone Help, and navigate to Basics -> Charging the Battery.
Perhaps the cable is using the Firewire pins for providing power.

  • Ipod Nano + Alpine CDE-9873rb + Full speed connnection

    Hi all,
    I bought reciently a new radio-CD *Alpine CDE-9873rb* with full speed connection for my ipod. I have the cable installed and the full speed connection acitvated, now I have a new *3G ipod nano* and when I connect it to the radio, ipod screen turns white... with the words..."connected"... but the *radio cant control my ipod*. I cant play nothing with it... I dont know if that is a problem which will be resolved with new Ipod Nano firmwares or if its an installation problem.
    Any thought? How can i resolve this issue?Anyone with the same problem?
    Thank you,
    Oscar

    Hi,
    I have mine connected to my Alpine CDA-9887R using the full speed cable, but it works fine. However, the screen goes white (with the back-light continually on) but says noting on the screen. With my old 4g 20gig ipod, "Alpine - OK to disconnect" was displayed.

  • Fans are running at full speed after hard drive upgrade. Used same brand drive.

    My Western Digital 500GB hard drive crashed. The date on it is Aug. 2010. I swapped it out for a Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB. All plugs were identical including the temp sensor cable. My fans now run at full speed. What gives? BTW. This is th 3rd WD hard drive to fail at my office in multiple iMacs. I have a 21.5 iMac i3 3.06ghz. I have tried the SMC reset,.. no luck. Reset the PRAM,.. no luck. Hard drive and computer function perfectly, it just sounds like a loud annoying PC.

    After a little more research the only thing I found for 21.5" mid 2010 imac were three part numbers for three sensor cables which are a function of vendor:
    922-9215, Hitachi
    922-9216, Seagate
    922-9622, Western Digital
    The strange thing here is these are vendor specific and not model within vendor specific.  So you started with a WD drive and replaced it with different model, but still a WD drive.  So you would think it would require the same sensor cable. 
    Maybe the drives are different enough for this to matter.  Or maybe you should check the connections one more time.  Be it model of drive or connections, whichever it is, the sensor cable is the source of your problem.

  • Fan running at full speed after shut down.

    My brand new, three day old 8 core Mac Pro has already frozen three times. I have been reading about the screen garbage and then the freeze. That is happening with me, too. But what is going on right now as I type on my old G4 is that the fan on the new Mac Pro is running full speed and the computer has been shut down! The fan has been blowing like this for at least 30 minutes. I am hesitant to unplug. But I can't just leave the office with it blowing like that. What is going on?

    Have a lot of USB stuff attached...
    Apple keyboard/mouse, Kensington track ball, (then through hub) Logitech web-cam, External HD (USB) for time-machine, epson scanner, iPod USB cable, shuffle, dock, and...ah ha..may be a culprit...a Microsoft joystick for playing x-plane (when I was thinking about what I do when this happens, I said I'd switched resolutions to use xplane..but, of course, I would have had the joystick plugged in as well..this could be the one difference (I only connect the joystick when I'm going to use x-plane)).
    I will experiment some tonight...shutting down with and without the joystick to see if that makes any difference.
    Now that I think of it, that seems to be the one 'difference factor'...and it would be Karma to have the Microsoft hardware messing up my Mac.
    I don't have any extra PCI...nothing in firewire.
    Thanks for giving me a possible lead...I'll report back.

  • My iPhone is FULL, no memory left for photos. If I move all my photos off my iPhone, will the 'ALBUMS' and their content (pics) be blown away ? Also, what is the BEST way to clear/save photos off my iPhone ? PC, ITunes, some other app ?

    I use an app called FileApp to transfer photos to my PC - I can then selectively delete photos from my iPhone and still have them on my PC - just download the app to your iPhone and follow the instructions for the accompanying program for your PC - then use your iPhone cable to connect - iTunes will also start up so just close it and you will see the iPhone storage as a drive - go the DCIM folder and open the device folder and you will see your photos.

  • E31 - Front FAN at full speed after bios update !!

    Hello,
    we have a Thinkstation E31 (2555-22G), and today after the Bios update with the Lenovo system update tool the front Fan (near the SATA connectors) is at full speed constantly. it is just impossible to stay in front of this computer because of the noise, i had to disconnect the fan.
    I tried to flash to an older version available on the site but it doesn't change anything.
    I tried to reset the BIOS to default, and also removed the battery from the motherboard.
    I found in a faq but for another model to remove the power cable and press the start button during 10 seconds.
    I didn't find something working, there is no fan control setting in the bios, or it is well hidden...
    What can i do ??
    Thanks for your help.

    The beeps you're hearing are part of the CMOS clear process, so they are normal.  Once you hear the beeps, you should be OK to shut it down again.
    I'm not necessarily convinced a bad fan is the cause of the issue if you truly only experienced the higher fan speed after a BIOS update.  But I also don't want to work on the same issue from two angles/paths at the same time....so I'm going to say let's wait and see what happens with the service route first and go from there.
    If you happen to try it again or see the message again...I'm curious what error codes you're seeing after the system starts and you get the two POST beeps.  A message about corrupted settings sounds like it could be important  A picture might be helpful here if you can capture one.

  • Very noisy iMac, fans running at full speed even when performing smal tasks

    I have a 2009 21 iMac, recently the computer became very noisy with the fans running at full speed all the time even when checking the email or just using Safari. I don't do anything crazy like 3d renderings so I don't know why the fans wont stop. I recently cleaned it but this didn't seem to solve the problem.
    Anyone knows what's the problem and how can I fix it?
    Thanks

  • After reading and resetting everything with Keyboard I still get blank white screen. The only way I can boot to Mavericks is unplug power cord, push and hold power button while plugging power cord in. Fans at full speed.

    After reading and resetting everything with Keyboard I still get blank white screen on 2nd? page of boot. The only way I can boot to Mavericks is unplug power cord, push and hold power button while plugging power cord in. Fans run at full speed, machine boots then runs normal except the dvdrw will not . The mid 2011 IMAC had the same problem with LION. I changed hard drives, formatted, and installed a clean install of latest os x mavericks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Use the uninstaller provided with the Sophos software. You can uninstall CUDA via the preference pane. Be sure you remove the com.nvidia.CUDA extension which is located in the /System/Library/Extensions/ folder. Not sure if Fan Control has an uninstaller so you will have to do it manually:
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper
        2. AppDelete
        3. Automaton
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller
      10. Spring Cleaning
    For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.
    Be sure to remove your two Login Items. Finally do this:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • One of my MacBook Pro's fans is running at full speed

    Out of the blue today, my 2011 MacBook Pro started fans went mental when I awoke if from it's sleep. They started running at full speed, far louder than I've ever heard them before. I searched through other discussions and it suggested I try an SMC reset. I performed one of these with no success.
    I then opened smcFanControl and noticed that my leftside fan was running at 7000rpm+ and the rightside fan was running at normal speed 2000rpm. It randomly spools on and off high speed and I cannot find any fixes or similar problems online. Can anyone suggest a fix for this or should I be taking it to a repairer?
    FYI my logic board was only replaced in April under warranty so could it be faulty?

    Hi andyBall_uk
    SMC fan control measures temp also. Currently running at 47*C as you can see in the screenshot below. I tried overriding the fan speeds...works for the right fan but not the left one so it appears only the left fan has the fault.
    The weird thing is, when you press your finger down anywhere on the left speaker next to the built-in keyboard, the fan slows back down to normal speed, but when you let go it speeds back up again. I might open it up in the morning to see if any of the connections are loose, because it seems weird that this happens with a small amount of pressure applied to the body. Also of you tilt the macbook it sometimes slows back down to normal speed (but sometimes stays at high speed). I will let you know how I go. Thanks for your suggestion/s

  • Even genuine iphone 5 usb charging cable does not work for an year?

    I have bought an iphone 5 last year. With it, came the  original apple genuine iphone 5 lightning USB cable. It did not last for half year. I had to buy another original apple iphone 5 similar cable and it was gone within 3 months. I dont understand is it cable manufacturing problem? is apply selling fake cables? It is really annoying and I am really angry that such a reputed company cant give/ provide proper long lasting cables.
    My experience with these two genuine cables was that after some months of  usage, i used to observe even if its plugged it would not charge, or if you push it hard its charging. Firstly, I never keep my phone charging all time. Then how the hack can the charging cable die? or problem arise. I bought the phone and the charging cables when I was germany. I had to buy a 20 euro local companys USB charging cable after above two stopped working with no signs of damage. I have also tried cleaning the charging jack or socket where cable is inserted. It did not help. This local charging cable started to torn out automatically and it got fully damaged, Now I am in India, I bought another cable of 10 euros and it is just two days, it would not charge again.
    I am really furious now whether you use original or local USB cables they dont last for even a week? what the ****?
    Do I need to really pay for those portable charger with a big price tag, that my problem will be solved? very very upset. I never have any complaint with the phone, but the charging catastrophies, really ****** me off. I think of going back to other mobile brands like samsung or nokia where there is never a charging issue or battery drainage issue once you charge its goes for days or it  is also expensive buy a nokia or samsung charger if lose it or break it. but for iphones its really bugging situation and not just me many people around the world are having sick problem with iphone brand with charging ISSUES.
    APPLE PLEASE SORT THE PROBLEM OR SELL the PORTABLE IPHONE CHARGERS (WIRELESS) CHEAPER so that we dont have to use these silly little lightning cables. or I fear my APPLE I PHONE 5 is not genuine or its FAKE.
    PLEASE HELP>

    Look closely at the way you handle the cables. I have never had any cable, Apple or third-party, fail on me.

  • IMac G5 (no iSight) fans running full speed always

    Hi,
    The processor usage is relatively low (like 10%) but the fans are full speed at all times from the second the power comes on. I imagine there isa problem with the mother board? I've tried resetting all the SMC stuff, no effect.
    Any ideas?
    Is this something Apple Stores will charge to fix?
    Thanks

    It could be either faulty, leaking caps, or a failing power supply unit. Yes, Apple will charge since you are long out of warranty. You can open the machine and check the caps yourself, they look like little soda cans, and their tops should be perfectly flat and there should be no exudate.

  • W520: How to get full speed and turbo on battery power

    Here is how you get around the on battery max frequency limitation (of 1.2 GHz, at least for my i7-2620M) and no turbo (well, almost, read on):
    0. Assuming you have max performance enabled everywhere possible (BIOS/PowerManager/Windows Power Scheme)
    1. Load ThrottleStop.
    2. Set the multiplier manually to your maximum multiplier (e.g., 27x for i7-2620M, 23x for i7-2820QM, etc...) or Turbo (which is the setting after your max multiplier).
    3a. Enable ThrottleStop
    3b. (optional) Check in CPU-Z and make sure that your highest multiplier is being used when the CPU is utilized. If you selected Turbo, you should have turbo enabled at this point.
    4. Disable ThrottleStop
    5. Exit ThrottleStop, so that it doesn't waste any battery power, since it is no longer needed
    This will change the max frequency (and max multiplier) available from whatever Lenovo decided to arbitrarily fix it at (e.g., 1.2GHz) to the correct max frequency (which in my case is 2.7 GHz / 3.2 GHz for turbo). Now your laptop will be able to correctly go from 800MHz to whatever is the max frequency of your CPU, using both EIST and C1E. Turbo will also kick in, if you enabled it in ThrottleStop and the Lenovo PowerManager app will even show it as enabled.
    Thanks Unclewebb for letting us get around this stupid max CPU frequency limitation that Lenovo has imposed on us.
    Disclaimer:
    Do this at your own risk, since Lenovo does not officially support it.
    Turn on active cooling, if you do CPU intensive stuff for any prolonged period of time. This will take away some on battery time, but if battery time is of ultimate concern to you, then this change is probably not for you to begin with.
    If you go through prolonged periods of CPU intensive activity, you will lower your battery life and produce a lot of battery heat, because you will have a relatively high discharge rate. A high discharge rate reduces both the number of charge cycles and the maximum charge capacity of a Li-Ion battery. I don't know how safe all of this is, so do this at your own risk and probably monitor temperatures along the way. Other laptops can do Turbo and full speed on battery power (e.g., the slim 3 lb Sony Z, with the i7-2620M), but then other laptops have different designs and cooling systems, so who knows how the Lenovo W520 hardware will react to this.

    Hi,
    I have the opposite problem - my i7-2720QM is fixed at 2.2GHz no matter how hard I spank 1, 2 or all cores, and no matter what System Performance settings I apply.  It even runs at this speed, and gives the same bench marks when on battery  with the "system performance" set to Low.    
    No one even knows what the various System Performance settings actuall mean. E.g. Neither Lenvo support nor these forums could tell me what the difference between "Maximum Turbo","Turbo" or even "Low" under "System Performance" in the Lenovo power manager Advanced settings.
    I have been trying go get turbo boost to work for 2 months. I have wasted so much time with this machine, I could have bought 2 Macbook pros for the cost of the time lost.
    I dont know why Lenovo have disabled the turbo boost (and the opposite, turbo drop?)  feature for this CPU - is it deliberate, or incompetence?  Its certainly false marketing and extremely annoying that I have to use my ancient PC to do single threaded type work which I know the Laptop can manage if it were not crippled.
    So people whos clock speed drops when on battery are the lucky ones.  Mone doesnt even if I want it to.

  • Mac Pro will not boot, revs fans at full speed

    Hi,
    I had my Mac Pro (2006 3.0 quad core) asleep, it woke itself up and didn't display video, instead revved the fans at full speed and did nothing, so I shut it down using the power button. When I turned it on, it did/does the same thing, no chime, no video to the displays, and I cant boot in safe mode or any other way, it wont even eject the DVD drive if I hold the mouse down.
    has anyone encountered this before?
    Any ideas?

    Give the SMC button a kick, hold it in for 5-10 seconds. Hard to see, but hidden by drive #4.
    Or try zapping PRAM/NVRAM first and see if that helps.

  • CPUZ REPORTING FULL SPEED ALL THE TIME, help ?

    I have cpuz 1.52.2, its constantly reporting that my cpu is running at full speed, it didnt used to be like this, and ive not even been doing anything at all in the bios for months, so i know its not the bios to blame.
    I have a dual boot system, with windows 7 ultimate 64 bit and windows xp pro.
    As i say, i cant remember seeing this issue happen before, so i dont know whats the cause, ive even tried lowering the power saving levels in windows control panel, but that dont appear to do anything either, unless iam doing it the wrong way.
    Can someone help me please as i have this vision in my mind that with my overclocked cpu running at full speed constantly that its not doing it any good.
    Thanks.
    p.s
    i have always had turbo boost enabled, so that way the speed should go up and down, i know as ive been tracking it before.

    Hiya,
    Thanks for your thoughts. Yup, I'm starting to think this is just one of those things and I need to swap for something with passive cooling. The mac fans seem to be fine although there have been moments when they decide to have a mad minute or two. I think the card next to the graphics card (digidesign core card) is not going to help. Was previously pretty acceptable at normal monitoring levels with the 5200 Nvidia but now you can hear the machine over conversation levels which is tedious. Was thinking about moving the machine to another room or get a quiet rack to house everything but it might be easier to use the cash for a Magma chassic and use my Powerbook. Or stop using Protools and go for Logic? lol! .....
    So, anyone want to swap an X800 for a 9600? Ebay, here we come ...
    Cheers,
    Mike

  • G500 fan running at full speed for no apparent reason

    I have G500 that worked perfectly for a year now. My operating system is Windows 7 Professional. Yesterday the fan started working full speed while the laptop was idle, I wasn't using it and the software that was running in the background were the usual programs I have been running for the last year. First step was to check the temperature of course, which is normal. Then I checked if anything weird is running in the background and creating high cpu usage, but that was not the case either. What I noticed though was that fanspeed is not recognising the fans or counting their speed. Is it a problem on the hardware? It is really annoying. The speed also fluctuates very often, reminds me of how it should work while gaming and definately not when idle. 
    Thanks
