Any working uncertified Lightning to USB adapters for iPhone?

We used to have all these uncertified lightning to USB adapters that were $1 each (in a pack) from eBay and worked fine, only somtimes giving a warning and working anyway. Slowly, all of them got lost by family members. We have a couple more cables lying around that hardly ever work or only work with certain devices, and one of them is one of those stupid 3rd party ones that are certified and the same price as Apple ones. So I want to know what the status is on these cables before I buy more. Have the newer versions of iOS prevented them from working? Most of us are running iOS 7.0.6 or some version of iOS 6.
Yes, I know there are certified ones, but they're so much more expensive than the basically equivalent uncertified ones (if they work). I only use my original Apple adapter for syncing with my Mac, and the rest are just for charging, music in the car, and Xcode on the go.

As it should, yes.
Lightning connector is a proprietary Apple product.
Uncertified means stolen technology.

    Recieving mail has nothing to do with the SIM in the phone.
    You cannot trace an iPhone with IMEI number. That could only be useful for identifying a found phone as yours.

    Congratulations on recently purchasing an iPhone! I have the iPhone myself and love it, so I am sure you will as well. In regards to downloading music on your device, the best way to complete this task is going to be going through iTunes or the Apple App store. The Apple App store should have several 3rd party applications you can download music and play on your device. In addition any music that you have saved in your iTunes library can be synced and transfered to youre device.
    Thank you,

  • USB port for iPhone

    My computer's USB port is only 1.1 and the iPhone requires a 2.0 port. Is there an adapter available to convert my USB to 2.0? Or do I have to buy a new computer as well as an iPhone? Any suggestions?

    http://www.usb-ware.com/firewire-vs-usb.htm
    Question: If Hi-Speed USB 2.0 is a 480 Mbps interface and FireWire is a 400 Mbps interface, how can FireWire be faster?
    Answer: Differences in the architecture of the two interfaces have a huge impact on the sustained throughput.
    * FireWire, uses a "Peer-to-Peer" architecture in which the peripherals are intelligent and can negotiate bus conflicts to determine which device can best control a data transfer
    * Hi-Speed USB 2.0 uses a "Master-Slave" architecture in which the computer handles all arbitration functions and dictates data flow to, from and between the attached peripherals (adding additional system overhead and resulting in slower data flow control)
    * Read and write tests to the same IDE hard drive connected using FireWire and then Hi-Speed USB 2.0 show:
    *Read Test:*
    5000 files _(300 MB total)_ *FireWire was 33% faster than USB 2.0*
    160 files _(650MB total)_ *FireWire was 70% faster than USB 2.0*
    *Write Test:*
    5000 files _(300 MB total)_ *FireWire was 16% faster than USB 2.0*
    160 files _(650MB total)_ *FireWire was 48% faster than USB 2.0*

  • Mini Cooper not working with Lightning 30 pin Adaptor for iPhone5

    I have a 2012 Mini Cooper with a "standard" stereo.  I used to plug my iPhone 4 into the cord provided by Mini and it played my music & podcasts.  Now, with the Lightning to 30 pin Adapter to connect my iPhone5, my music is now only coming out of 1 speaker and the phone information will not appear.  I do not have Mini Connect.  Anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions? Thanks.

    That happened to me too. Check your Y-cable. Make sure the 3.5mm cable is fully connected to the auxilliary jack on your 2012 MINI Cooper. You may also want to slightly twist the cable connections in the middle box part of the Y-cable if the first solution does not work for you. Good luck!

  • USB connection for iphone 5 hotspot is not working

    I am using OS X Lion on my MacBook Pro and all of a sudden it is not recognizing my iphone 5 as a hotspot using the usb connection.  It does connect using bluetooth.  Any suggestions? 

    Hello there, mcMlast.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for troubleshooting issues with no sound from the speaker on your iOS device:
    iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
    Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
    Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
    Try turning off Bluetooth.
    If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue is not resolved, please  contact Apple Support.
    Learn more about troubleshooting iPhone hardware issues.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Any work arounds to not use SSN for iOS5 upgrade

    Anyone else bothered by Apple requiring your SSN in order to activate your iphone (as a last step)?  The phone is completely unusable unless you enter this info in (at least for Verizon)  I don't care how secure they say they are, this still really irritates me.  Anyone found a work around to this?

    I know you might have gone through these steps, or at least a couple of them, but go ahead and give them a try again.
    There are some things to try with an iPod that won't turn off.
    First of all, be sure that your "Hold" switch isn't turned on (the hold switch is located on the top of your iPod).
    Then, after you’ve verified that your iPod’s Hold switch isn’t on, here a few things to try:
    -- Reset the iPod. Be sure you're doing it the correct way: Press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for about 5-10 seconds.
    Be sure to also try connecting your iPod to a power source while doing this step several times.
    -- Try toggling the Hold switch. Flip the "Hold" switch on your iPod (located on the top) back and forth several times.
    Again, this includes connecting the iPod to a power source while you're toggling the Hold switch back and forth (this worked for someone who's iPod wasn't responding to anything).
    -- Try letting your iPod's battery drain out. Use your iPod enough that its battery finally goes dead, asking to re-charge it.
    At this point, connect your iPod to your computer's USB or a charger, and leave it there for a couple of hours.
    Now see if your iPod will turn off after trying that.
    -- If none of these work, you might want to try Restoring your iPod. Note that this does delete all the contents off the iPod (which is why it is somewhat more of a "last resort"), but often clears up iPod issues you might be facing.
    For more info on this process, take a look at this Knowledge Base article:

  • IPod Classic USB Cable for iPhone charger?

    Can I use the USB cable of my iPod classic or any iPods to charge my iPhone?

    Your current car charger for the original iPhone will never work with the iPhone 3G because the firewire pins were removed from the iPhone 3G dock port at the bottom.
    I'm looking for an FM transmitter/charger for my iPhone 3G but it looks like it'll be a few more weeks before new compatible products are released.

  • Any Suggestions on a Bluetooth Car Kit for iPhone 3G

    Any suggestions on a bluetooth car kit to go with my iPhone 3G. I could get a bluetooth earpiece, but I would really only need this in my car because of the new California law.

    Hi Mike,
    What's your budget? For less than $2,000 U.S. you could get into an ARRI kit with a 650W and two 300W heads. This is what I would use. If you don't even have $1K for a Lowell kit, do an internet search for budget kits and home made setups. I saw some kits for as low as $99 to $399.

  • USB Cable for Iphone 3G

    My iPod Classic 80GB's USB cable doesn't seem to fit into my iPhone 3G connector at the bottom. Is there other type of USB cable I should use instead?

    Another way is to purchase the iPhone 3G Dock Connector from your local AT&T store or Best Buy. Then use that for connecting the dock and slide the 3G on.
