4-pin and 6-pin USB cable- problems

Hi guys,
my original 6-pin Apple USB cable has often been used and thats what it looked like. So I bought a non-Apple USB cable. I noticed, that it has only 4-pins and it doesnt work with my 3G. The strange thing is, that it works great/as good as the Apple one on his 3G. I know that you`ll probably sugest buying a real Apple one, but they were to expensive for me.
Regards

I just bought an ipod touch 4th generation recently, found that it is very difficult to plug and unplug the USB cable from my ipod. Does anyone have this problem?

Some of the Dock connector cables have very small buttons on the rounded adge of the plug, which need to be pushed in to release the plug from the iPod. Look at the picture below, do you notice the "button" on the white connector edge? There's one on the other edge too and they both need to be pressed in to release the "evil looking spike" sticking out of the grey edge.
The shorter plugs (that I've seen) do not have the release mechanism, the plug simply pulls out.

D10 and nvidia Titan, Best solution to power required 6 pin and 8 pin input

Hi,
For gpgpu programming and computing I would like to install a nvidia gtx Titan.
This card has a TDP of 300 Watts, and the manufactor requires a 650 W PSU.
So we thought that the D10 should be ok.
The problem is that it needs a 8 pin and a 6 pin power input. The D10 only has 2 6 pin connectors.
I saw some adapter cables on the market:
the safest seemed using a:
2 x 6 pin to 8 pin.
2 x molex to 6 pin.
The problem is that there is only 1 molex.
if i am correct the 6 pins are rated 75W and the 8 pins 150W
There are some people using 1x 6 pin to 8 pin adapters, some say its ok, some say its dangerous.
What would you recomend?
(1 x 6 pin to 8 pin) and (6 pin)
or
(2 x 6 pin to 8 pin) and ([sata to molex] + molex in a 2x molex to 6 pin)
or
any other recomendations?

Hi,
Yesterday i finaly got the 6to8 pin addapter. So i tried using that on the P5 (6 pin) and to use the the P4 as the standard 6 pin, as suggested. In the beginning if i change something about my D10 i always get some boot errors the first few startups that dissapear as soon as i enter and save and exit the bios. But then it worked
My first surprize was that the Zotac Titan amp edition, was really quiete under idle.
I could not really test a lot because normaly i have to work using 2 monitors, and i didnt have the proper addapter to mount 2vga monitors, (i needed a DVI-D to vga adapter or a hdmi to vga addapter, this evening when i finish my regular work i will test it again).
In the 1.5 hours that i used the d10 with the Titan it i got one strange screen blackout and i had to reboot.
When i tried to install the drivers from the DVD, and the DVD started spinning, full power, the display went black, and didnt got back again without a restart. I think that could be a power issue.
I will test it some more, running a gpu benchmark test, and trieng to copy something from a dvd in the same time.
In case it will happen more frequently the Juice box suggested could be an idea, although i think that i dont like the sound of the 3 high speed fans. My D10 is so queiet even with the Titan.
A second isue is that i wanted to try to use the standard nvidia quadro fx 1700 in my D10 next to the gtx Titan.
(to use the quadro for my monitors, and the titan for running gpu programs)
When i tried both together the fan of the quadro (which is normaly very quiete) was running on full power inmediatly after booting, And then gave an error in windows, and didnt give any graphical troughput, but the titan did.
So open points are:
1)if i can reproduce the black screen when playing a DVD or under high load,
2)trying to run 2 graphic cards in parralel. (the second card beign a low power one)
I will update.

D10 - Voltage of 10 pin and 8 pin power connector

Dear All
I got a D10 here, the power supply suddenly stops to work this afternoon, I have already called my brother in US to find me FRU parts. But this might take one week or longer, I borrow a big 850W PSU from my colleague, but it doesn't have 10 pin and 8 pin power connectors on it. I know the voltage used by computer internally are 3.3V, 5V and 12V. Just wondering, what voltage shall I supply to these 10 pin and 8 pin connectors?
I sent the demaged one for recycling,..
Thanks in advance
Regards
Andres
Solved!

If you're talking about the 2x4 and 2x5 connectors used to power video cards, those are +12V.

CA-42 SOLVED USB CAble Problem !

Here is the answer to many CA-42 Cable problems people are having.
First, Nokia says you must use their cable. NOT! The problem with the Chinese cables I found is the pins are not even. With a file, file down the pins so they are all the same length. With 1 or 2 pins longer than the others, the remaining pins do not make contact. Do not file down the longer ones any farther than the short ones. It will work !
It works. I have been trying to get this resolved for 3 days. Filed the pins so

USB Cable problem with HP Photosmart 7960 printer

This may sound like a stupid question but I just bought a new 7960 printer to replace my old 7960 which has two out of the three ink cartridge holders broken and the usb port on the new printer won't accept a usb cable. It appears to be blocked by a cap insert over the connector prongs which will not come out. Any suggestions?

Here is a link with some troubleshooting steps that may help to solve the issue you are having with your printer:

Pple 24" LED and Mac Pro usb connection problem

Hi,
I'm having issues with my Mac Pro 8 core (2008) connected to an Apple 24" LED. I have a Radeon HD 4870 graphics card installed in the Mac so I can use the Apple LED mini displayport connection. The video works perfectly fine but to use the built-in speakers and iSight in the Apple LED I have to use the USB cables and connect them to the USB sockets of the Mac Pro. This is where the problem seems to be as after a time using the Mac it crashes in a strange manner and I get a few lines of coding and the Mac shuts down on its own. I've used Dr Botts extension cables to extend to reach of the USB cables which I thought maybe the issues and taken this off and I've also unplugged any devices plugged into the extra USB sockets on the Apple LED. I think it's something to do with using the speakers as playing video seems to crash the Mac also but once I unplug the USB cables the video plays fine, but without speaker sound. Has anyone had similar problems and have any solutions?
Thanks in advance.
Alec

I have had no problem at all.
Assume you have considered: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2400
If you have concerns about possible extension cable reliablity, you might want to consider trying a spare such as this one that is available from the Store: http://store.apple.com/us/product/H6730LL/A/

Apple Dock Connector to USB Cable PROBLEM

I had my iPhone plugged into my Mac book at the coffee shop this weekend using the dock connector to USB cable. After a while, I kept getting a message on my phone that said "This accessory is not compatible with your device. Would you like to turn on Airplane mode?"
I thought this was odd since the connector was an Apple product; I've never seen this message before, and I've had my iPhone plugged into my laptop several times before.
I didn't think anything of it, so I kept selecting 'No' after getting this message repeatedly. I had no reason to question the integrity of my iPhone or its accessories since I don't misuse or mistreat anything ever.
After a while, I looked down and noticed white smoke coming out of where the cable connects to the phone! I immediately unplugged everything and noticed the burnt and melted section of the connector part and in the phone itself. I left my phone unplugged until I could get to the Apple store.
I have to say, I believe these cables are not made very well. Luckily, the Apple store replaced my phone and my cable for free without any hassle. I'm just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? Is Apple doing anything about this?
-Still an iPhone fan.

Doing anything about what ? Other people's faulty computers which go over voltage and fry iPhones ?
The initial message you got is indicative of a short circuited or dirty dock connector so it was probably dirt on the connector or iPhone which caused the problem. No they aren't likely to. I've never heard of this before but I am glad they replaced your iPhone so swiftly !

HT1430 ipod is frozen with itunes symbol on screen and picture of USB cable

My sons ipod is frozen with the itunes symbol on it and the usb' cable pictured. I can't turn it off. Ive tried resetting it and the apple symbol appears but this picture reappears.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

What is the exact technical difference between "Lightning to USB Camera Adapter" and "Lightning to USB Cable"

Mainly I am interested in attaching the iPhone to a receiver (or car etc.) to play music.
Both the "Lightning to USB Cable" and the "Lightning to USB Camera Adapter" seem to do the trick. So what is the exact technical difference between the two items?
When connected to a receiver, is the iPhone the USB Master in both cases? Is the USB "Audio Device Class" standard used to transmit audio?

Thanks for all the answers! I think I should specify the use case much more clearly. Sorry for not having done this earlier.
Use Case 1:
When I connect the iPhone to the receiver I can use the Lightning to USB, because the receiver has a female type A, just like e.g. a PC or like the charger. So I would agree that the Receiver must be the USB host, and the iPhone the USB device. This works just fine in my case, with iPhone and iPad.
In this case, the audio goes from the device to the host, or "Audio-in".
Use Case 2:
A friend of mine has a small device that converts USB to Toslink. This thing has a female Mini USB Type A, which is typically used at the receiving side of a USB connection. This device can be connected e.g. to a Mac, and then the Mac can output audio via this device to receiver which accepts optical Toslink signals.
In this case, the audio goes from the host to the device, or "Audio-out".
It is this use case 2 that I am unsure about:
a) Can the Lightning to USB cable be used in this case (assuming that I find the necessary non-standard adapters to actually connect the USB ports)? This would mean that the iPhone can act as a USB host with the Lightning to USB cable.
b) I know that the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter does convert the iPad into an USB host, otherwise it could not read data from a camera. So could this adapter also be used to produce "Audio out" to a USB device that supports receiving music?
If yes, would this also work with an iPhone (as pointed out in another answer, the iPhone does nor support reading pictures from a camera)?

Blu-ray with separate 4-pin and 39-pin connector on a new Mac Pro ?

I have a 2007 blu-ray burner I am trying to install as the 2nd drive in my new 12-core Mac Pro. But how to you connect it (it has separate 4-pin power and 39-pin connector) ? Any feedback would sure be appreciated.

The drive is PATA. Older Mac Pros uses PATA optical drives but newer Mac Pros use SATA. There are adapters
<http://www.sonnettech.com/product/tempo_bridge.html>
The adapter was intended for hard drives but should also work with optical drives. You may want to check with Sonnet before buying to see if it works with Blu-ray drives
