Adapter compatibility?

I went from an iphone 4 to a 5s. I have a few audio devices that the 4 docked/charged with. When I went to the apple store and looked at adapters (nub type) , it said they were compatible with both i5 and i5s ie: same adapter for both phones. If that's the case, why won't the thrid party adapter (i4 to i5) I purchased work?  (doesn't charge, no audio). Is this a software or hardware issue?
Thanks!

iOS 7 now detects unlicenced knock-off copies of anything lightning since the lightning plug is patented and where they are made without reference to Apple for licencing they are blocked which would also apply to cables
The genuine brands ,Belkin,Griffin ,etc are fine as they have licenced their cables from Apple

  • Universal dock and sector adapter compatibility

    Hi,
    is someone aware of compatibility issues between Apple Universal Dock and Apple sector adapter (plugged in the wall)?
    I have bought my dock in the US and my adapter is French. I cannot charge my iPod through the dock when it is plugged to the sector adapter. Works fine when I plug the dock to my computer through USB.
    Is this normal (maybe the dock are not the same in all the countries) or does my dock have a problem?
    (I had posted a somewhat similar question on the iPod touch forum but I guess that this one is more adapted).
    Thanks.

    I have exact the same issue with the Apple universal dock except it is with a "made for ipod" product.
    If I connect to Ipod directly it charges.
    If I connect to dock and put Ipod on the dock, no go.
    Anybody have the same issue?
    Cheers

  • Thunderbolt and MDP to VGA Adapter Compatibility Issue?

    Hi Veterans,
    I know this topic have been asked a lot of times by different people who faced the issue in different way. However, i am unable to find an absolute solution to the problem i am facing currently.
    My question is, can a 3rd party made, Mini Display Port to VGA adapter works on MBP & iMac that have mini display port and not on those that have thunderbolt port??
    I have a 3rd party made, Mini Display Port to VGA adapter that i have tried on 3 apple PC / laptop,
    A MacBook (13-inch, Late 2009) which comes with Mini DispayPort, the adapter work with this laptop.
    A iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2009) which comes with Mini Display Port, the adapter work with this PC too.
    A MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011) which comes with Thunderbolt port, the adapter does not work with this laptop. I have tried many solutions i can find on this forum and none helped.
    The software is fully up-to-date as of 30 April 2013, running Mac OS X 10.7.5 (Lion).
    Tried safe mode, does not helped.
    Tried the boot up when monitor is already switched on procedure, does not helped.
    In all cases, it was tested on the same external monitor. As my MBP was dual-booted using Bootcamp assistant 4.0, i also tried in windows-mode (windows 7) which didn't work too. In windows mode, the screen just keeps flickering while in mac-mode i get a light blue screen. In both cases, the external monitor shows nothing. The external monitor is a Compaq FP7317 monitor with native resolution 1280 x 1024 at 75.0 Hz.
    All these trying have leave me very perplexed. From my research, the thunderbolt port is suppose to accept devices meant for mini display port. So how could an adapter that work on mini display ports, not work on a thunderbolt port? Can any expert enlighten me?

    Problem solved. I picked up the MDP to VGA adapter and was able to use the monitors native res of 1920x1200 but the flicker and wavyness made it impossible to use. And yes the adapter had the current firmware. But what I discovered in the process was that in mirror mode I am unable to drive the monitor at optimum resolution. With that in mind I tried the MDP to HDMI adapter again, unchecking mirror mode, moving the Finder bar to the external display and SHAZAM. I have a rock solid display external display now running at 1920x1200 : )

  • Power Adapter Compatibility

    I own a 60gb 4th generation iPod photo that came with a usb power brick in the box. The hard drive died on it last week and I recently ordered a 2nd gen iPod nano as a temporary replacement until new hard drive based iPods come out.
    It looks like the newer iPods no longer come with power adapters in the box and that they are now sold separately for $30 (lame - if you ask me that should come in the box).
    Judging from the pictures of the new power adapters on the apple online store (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=D8E 8F6B&nplm=MA592LL%2FA) , it is not quite the same as the one that came with my 4g iPod although I would assume both would be using the same USB cable. They are different in that the new one looks smaller and the USB port is horizontal not vertical. Mine looks more like the following picture although I have no idea if it's exactly the same: http://ipod.cancomuk.com/images/codes/5/5/9/1/3/rect/55913.jpg
    At any rate, can I use my 4g iPod photo usb power adapter with my 2g nano? I don't want to fry my brand new nano by using an incorrect power adapter.
    Thanks.

    Since I doubt either of us really truly know how the price of an iPod breaks down this is kind of a pointless argument but I highly doubt Apple is charging us less because the adapter is not in the box.
    Selling the power adapter separately just gives them another chance to make a profit on an accessory while increasing the margin on the main product.
    While we'll never know the real numbers, with most things like cables and power adapters they can probably make the thing for well under $5 but can mark it up to $30 when sold separately.
    While it's probably not all evil... you're probably right that most users either already have a power adapter or don't use it so from Apple's perspective you could make an argument that it makes perfect sense to leave it out because it is probably not needed.
    But I still think this is just another revenue stream (higher margins on both iPods + new high margin accessory) for them and not to be confused with some noble effort to save the consumers some cash.

  • Satellite C870-11G - AC power adapter compatibility question

    I have a C870-11G.
    It uses power adapter part no PA3917U-1ACA which recently became damaged when someone tripped on the cable and it bent the end which connects to the laptop.
    I used to have a Toshiba C660D-10W a few years ago and still have the power adapter for that laptop, part no PA3714E-1AC3,
    Does anyone know if this is compatible with my C870?
    It seems to fit but I didn't want to try it incase it damages the battery or something.
    Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

    On the first pic you can see the values:
    *19V* (Volt) *3.42A* (Ampere)
    On the second pic you can find the same values.
    So both AC adaptors provide the same volt and ampere values and should be compatible.

  • AC adapter compatibility of Satellite L25-S1192

    I took my Satellite L25 into the shop to have it fixed and when I got it home its fine, except I think the shop gave me back the wrong AC adapter because my machine does not recognize it (no lights). The one they gave me back is a model number API1AD43. Can anyone tell me the correct part#/model of ac adapter I should have?

    Hi buddy,
    they gave you the wrong AC-adapter. You need an AC with an output of 19V with 6.3A and when googling for the AC you actually have, I found that the adapter has 19V but just 4.7A output. Thats not enough ampere for your machine so you have to go back to that shop and ask them for a AC-adapter with an output of 19 VOLT with 6.3 Ampere.
    Thats it. ;)

  • Displayport /USB to HDMI adapter compatibility under the Bootcamp

    I read that the Displayport/ USB to HDMI adapter works well with Apple but has anyone tested within Windows environment under Bootcamp? Are there drivers that support the adapter already?

    Usually, A *[USB to HDMI Adapter|http://www.espow.com/wholesale-usb-multi-display-adapter-for-computer-a dd-on-a-second-monitor.html]* can work in MacBook/Windows OS.. You just need to download the usb display adapter driver..

  • Lightning-to-30pin adapter compatibility questions

    I'm thinking of upgrading my iPhone 4S to a 5 or 5S.  I own two docks and would like to keep them.  The product description for the adapter states:
    Supports analogue audio output, USB audio, as well as syncing and charging.
    One of the docks takes the line-out audio and amplifies it; the other receives the digital audio and processes it in its own DAC.  Can someone confirm for me that these two functions would be covered by the adapter?
    Cheers.

    @Peter Gillespie: I know you're not going to want to accept this, but your reply was pretty condescending.  Why am I telling you this?  Because such attitudes are rife amongst users on forums, including this one, and encountering them is unpleasant.  I may only be a level 3 but it's mostly as a result of having better things to do.  Here's what you got wrong:
    The adapter purely continues the function that already exists  instead of sitting a device on the 30 pin that is part of the dock
    the adapter allows a device with a lightning socket to sit there instead and still work as if a 30 pin device is in situ
    Not true.  Apple themselves admit this in the product description, which continues after the section I quoted to indicate that video output is not supported.  I merely omitted that portion as it wasn't relevant.
    You are attempting to make a simple item complex ,unneccessary
    Actually, Apple have made the situation complex.  Did you know that the adapter contains a DAC?  That's why it's so expensive.  It exists because without it certain audio functions, such as the Analogue Audio Output I mention, wouldn't be available.
    So, Lightning to 30-pin connector adapters are both complex and functionally incomplete.  I hope you can admit that you were wrong on both of your main assertions.  I'm not sure why you spoke about third-party connectors, so I'll ignore the content of that aspect of your post.
    @Phil0124: None of my above reproach applies to you.  Thank you for being civil and informative.  I wasn't referring to the headphone socket, but the line-out that is available through the 30-pin connector and which supplies the audio to connected docks.  I was able to confirm officially that the audio line-out portion will function through the adapter, and later also ascertained that the digital output should also be fine (though this was based on anecdotal evidence concerning a 5S, but the similarities between that and the 5 seem sufficient for me).
    Best of the season to you both!

  • AC Adapter Compatibility

    Hi, I am not familiar with the intricacies of batteries and charging and whatnot so I was wondering if my 135W charger I normally use for my W510 will work with my wife's T61? Her original AC adapter is doing this thing where it beeps when you plug it in and it won't work whenever this happens. Any ideas on that problem would be great too. Thanks.
    Solved!

    mperetti,
    Generally, these 20V adapters can work with any of the '60 series or newer systems with exceptions as Lead-Org notes.  As a rule of thumb, you want to ensure the voltages match, the plug style and polarity match, and you have at least as much needed wattage. 
    On older units the 90 watt adapter can improve the charging speed vs the 65 watt especially when the system is being heavily used while charging.
    With regard to thoughts on the old adapater - check the DC voltage output at the tip with a digital multi-meter.  No voltage, or much less than 20v and I think you've found the problem and it's time to replace the AC adapter.
    Best regards,
    Mark

  • Adapter Compatibility w/ MSSQL 2012 on TES 5.3.1

    Hi There,
    I was hoping if anyone has had success connecting their TES 5.3.1 master using the MSSql Adapter to MSSQL 2012.  The DB Version must be specified when creating a new Connection Definition.  Because this is required I receive the following error in the MSSqlService*.log file.
    03/06 15:25:28:842[21:MD-12]: (mem=11367216/16711680) com.tidalsoft.service.logic.ServiceException: QA_SSSQL2_AGENT verifyVersion: version mismatch: connection version = SQL Server 2008, database version = 11
    I am not surprised by this because I have specified 2008 when actually I am connecting to a 2012 instance.
    Has anyone had success doing this?  You help is greatly appreciated.

  • Mag Safe Adapter Compatibility

    Sorry if this has been asked but I can't find a thread on it...
    Can I use a mag safe power adapter from an older (2007) Intel Macbook Pro on a new unibody Macbook Pro? Are they compatible?

    Yes - the 85 W adapter from the previous MBPs will work fine with the new MBPs. Note that the 13" uMBP and the low end 15" uMBP actually come with 60 W adapters, but the 85 W adapters will work with those as well (the MBP will just draw the power it needs).
