A gold connector is missing on lightning charger cable. Is it still safe to use?

One of the little gold connectors on the lightning charging cable is missing. Is it still safe to use?

If a connector is missing then the cable is damaged and will no longer work as expected or at all. Get a new cable.

Lightning charger cable issue

I Have an iPhone 5, my daughter has an iPhone 5c & an iPad mini. As you are aware they all use the lightning charger.
I've had to replace my cable for my iPhone 5 as it seemed to have the same issue as the majority of other people have with this cable. Now Im having to replace the cable for my daughters iPad mini, which is now costing me another £15, which I consider to be unfair. When there is clearly an issue with the cables and it's something that is needed, so I'm being forced to pay for something that is clearly not built to last.
Do you consider this to be right?

I've got an iPad 3 and never had to replace one. I have an iPhone 5 and 7th Generation iPod Nano, with spare cables and never had to replace any of them either. Apple will replace your cable under your 1 year warranty as long as it is not accidental damage.

HT5521 How to test Lightning Charger cable

We sell devices (male lightning tip) that will charge iPhones/iPods/iPads that have a Lightning socket.
Our device therefore has the Apple Male connector. How can I attach an electronic load to verify the power output capability of this device?
First I need a female Lightning socket then the best solution for authenticating without an iPhone/iPod or iPad connected. Custom hardware is acceptable.
Since we load many of these at a time, a full blown ATS is not an option.

Are lightning charger cables covered under 1 year warranty?

I bought my iPhone 5 last December and despite trying to take extra care of it, the cable has a kink at the base of the adapter that prevents it from charging my phone unless it's situated a certain way. I was wondering if I could take it into the Apple store and get it replaced because it's been less than a year since I got it?

Yes. For best results, make a reservation at the Genius Bar and bring the iPhone with you. That way you'll be in, out and on your way within a few minutes.

IPhone Lightning charger replacement

I recently bought an original apple 6.6' lightning charger cable from bestbuy and the end ripped and it is not working anymore. Is this product covered under my one year warranty? Also do I have to provide a recipt to have it replaced?

The lightning cable does have a warranty. You may have to provide a receipt to show when you purchased it, since it was not from an Apple store. Then make an appointment at the Genius Bar to see about the warranty replacement.

Charger cable no longer works with iPhone 5s

Hello:
My white lightning iPhone charger cable used to work to charge my iPhone when I plugged one end into a powered USB and the other end into the iPhone.
Now, if I am lucky, I will get a message stating that this device is not supported by Apple and may not charge this iPhone.
Is there any setting, to turn off this bypass, so that my charger cable can be used to charge my phone?
Or what is missing from my charger cable which allowed it to charge fine in an earlier version of IOS that no longer work in 8.1.3?
Thanks in advance

Clean the squashed fluff and debris out of the phone's charging port with a wooden tooothpick or similar. Be gentle.

Charging cable needs to be adjusted to charge

When hooking phone up to the lightning charging cable I have to adjust its position in order for it to charge. I frequently clean out the lint at the connection site.

mine too, just that the problem is on the left side. dont think it'll be a big problem though, so i just left it. the difference is probably only about 1mm

Charging Cable ~ Should This Not Work?

Like many other I have found that my car charging cable does not work with my iPhone 3G, but I thought I had a solution, which as it turns out did not work ~ but why?
Previously when charging my other ipods in the car, I used a simple device which consisted of an adapter that went into the Cigar Lighter socket (Sorry Power Socket) which at the other end allowed a USB charging cable +(the same as the one used to charge via the computer USB port)+ to plug into it and the other into the iPod and then charge.
This worked just great. So if the cable which came with the iPhone 3G (I know its the same as all other such cables, but I was playing safe) works fine when connected to the computer and iPhone 3G Dock, +why when that cable is connected to my iPhone 3G and plugged into the cars power socket, does it not charge,+ bearing in mind that this new set-up will charge the ipods just as it did with the other older USB cable?
Can anyone enlighten me please or has anyone found a solution?

The adapter you have for you car's power outlet is attempting to charge the iPhone via the firewire pins in the dock port on the phone. In the iPhone 3G charging via the firewire pins has been eliminated, it now only works via the USB pins. Most car adapters will use firewire because it can carry 12V which is what the car is already supplying so no step down is needed because USB only does 5V.

Is there anyway to keep the Lightning charger from breaking?

Is there anyway to keep the Lightning charger from breaking? I've gone through 8 of these in less than 5 months. When I take it apart it looks like where the wires are connected to the actual lightning plug it is a very flimsy soldering job. It looks like it was made by people who were told don't waste your time. We want them to buy lots.

Haven't had any problems with my lightning charger nor do I know of anyone else who has.
Are you pulling the connector out by the cord?

Is it possible to recharge an iPod nano 7g with the charger of an iPhone 4S if I use the lightning câble ?

Only if the cable fits the connectors on each end.

Core MIDI from iPad Mini to Mac via lightning USB charging cable

I want to use some of my Core MIDI compatible iPad Apps to control Logic Pro and other DAWs on my MacBook Pro via USB (Core MIDI over WiFi has unmanageable latency issues).
I read on various forums that it is possible to use Core MIDI via USB using the Apple Camera Connection Kit or Lightning to Mini USB adapter, but doesn't this simply work with the included Lightning to USB charging cable?

Image Capture is a built-in program and should be in your Applications folder, Aperture I bought from the Mac App Store.
For Simple Transfer it's an iPad app, so you would download it on your iPad from the app store.

HP Omni 10 5600US - Is there a USB to barrel connector charging cable?

As we all know, the power cable for the Omni10 5600US leaves much to be desired.
Barrel connector. Fine
Cant use the USB port to charge. Fine
BUT...Is there a USB to barrel connector charging cable? Arent USB cables just basically wires arranged in a certain sequence so it should be possible yes? I do not want to carry around the little mini power brick around with my tablet and the option to be able to charge from a portable battery, my laptop, a usb cigarette lighter, or even a buddies phone charger where the USB cord can break away would really make quite a difference.
Even if I did bring my power brick to work , its still isnt long enough to plug into my power strip and up through the desks cable management.

Yes you can. You'll need to purchase a USB OTG (on-the-go) cable. I recommend using a drive that has its own power supply but I've successfully used small USB powered drives also.

My eom lightning charger says its unsupported and acts like a knock off and apps appear to be running in background draining battery but I can't see them. Upgraded to iOS 7 phone only lasts 1/2 day. Notifications are all off.
