Are all synch cables alike?

I have an iPad, an iPhone 3G and got an iPod Nano for Christmas. All came with synch cables. The cables all look the same but Are they the same?

Yep, they are all the same.

Are all iPod cables able to sync and recharge?

I bought a second cable because a family member had lost theirs and was borrowing mine. It was a Griffin. I discovered that I was unable to sync my ipod with the new cable and though I thought my ipod was broken, discovered that the cable was for recharging the battery only. I returned it and purchased a Belkin instead. As I was tearing apart the packaging I discovered a small label on the cable itself stating that it was for charging only.
Until this experience I would have assumed that all cables are capable of both recharging and syncing your ipod to itunes. Given that's not the case, I wonder why they don't mark the packaging more clearly stating that the cable will do one and not the other?
Can I safely assume that an Apple branded cable with both sync and recharge?

claimed to be compatible with ipod touch
One of the problems is where as once there was only one touch version, there are now two versions.
Unless the package specifically states '2nd generation touch', the product is designed to work with the 1st generation touch. For example, Belkin has a page specifically for iPod touch 2G accessories and I don't see ANY syncing/charging cables for the 2G touch.
Griffin Technology does claim to have a USB to Dock Cable for syncing/charging 2G touches.

I am totally frustrated by the fact that now i have gone to iCloud and after a few synchs, my contacts are all mixed up with the wrong information. For instance, my email and phone number comes up under someone else's name (a thousand contacts)

An icloud account is designed to be used by just one user. If you have given your ID or set up your account on someone else's device, then their data will be mingled with your or worse.

HT4191 I deleted notes on my mac but did not want them deleted from iPhone but after synching they are all done. Can I get them back?

Deleting on one device does not affect another device.
You can delete the App's on the iPhone and nothing will happen to the ones on the iPad.
1. You don't need to.
2. Settings->Cellular->"Use Cellular Data For" will show the data usage for each App since the last statistics reset
3. Settings->General->Background App Refresh Will show which Apps are allowed to get data in the background
4. It restricts it to Wifi. If the App requires internet access and Data is turned off, it will have to wait until the device is connected to a wifi network.
5. Nope, You just use up battery since the BT radio will continuously look for nearby BT devices.
6. The Personal Hotspot uses your cellular internet connection from your phone or other cellular device; whether you consider that secure or not I cannot say. It also depends on what you are doing while connected to the Hotel's wifi. I would not do online banking while on vacation though.

My TV has only 2 HDMI conections that are all ready in use for Directv and the Blueray. Can I use composed cables to conect Apple TV

My TV has only 2 HDMI conections that are all ready in use for Directv and the Blueray. Can I use composed cables to conect Apple TV

I'm going to take a guess and say that if your TV has 2 HDMI ports, it also has a component input (5 wire). I'm also going to guess that either your DirecTv or your Blueray has a component output option. If I had this setup, I would put my DTV on the component option and use the open HDMI port for the ATV2.
I doubt you will be able to tell the difference on your DTV. Most of the stores that demo HD use component wiring on their store models. The only downside is that you may be giving up the highest sound (Dobly 5.1 or whatever they call it.)
Or you could just go to switching the HDMI cords from your BluRay to the ATV2 depending on which one you are watching. I think I use my BluRay about 5% or less of my viewing time. If I "tossed", I wouldn't shed a tear.

TS3899 I have upgrade my to iOS7 and my company recently upgrade to Exchange 2010. My emails are not synching to my inbox. I can see all of my sent items. I have already deleted the account 3 times but this did not fix the inbox problem.

You need to have a different Apple ID for each of the other devices.

Recently trackpad and pointer on screen are not synched up- pointer jumps away erratically

Recently trackpad and pointer on screen are not synched up- pointer jumps away erratically

There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until it's resolved. Some may not apply in your case.
1. Follow the instructions in this support article, and also this one, if applicable. A damaged or defective AC adapter could be the cause, even if it's the right kind.
2. Press down all four corners of the trackpad at once and release. If there's any effect, it's likely to be temporary, and in that case the unit must be serviced or replaced.
3. Open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and delete all pointing devices other than the trackpad, if applicable. Disconnect any USB pointing devices. By a "pointing device," I mean a peripheral that moves the cursor, such as a trackpad, mouse, trackball, or graphics tablet. A plain keyboard is not a pointing device.
4. Start up in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you restart as usual, stop here and post your results. Do the same if you can't start in safe mode. If there was no difference in safe mode, go on to the next step.
5. Reset the System Management Controller.
6. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad or mouse, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
7. A swollen battery in a portable computer can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced without delay.
8. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built-in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
9. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
10. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think that your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
11. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine and/or external trackpad tested.

Calendar times from Outlook are all wrong on my Iphone

I am using MobileMe to sync an Outlook 2003 calendar to an Iphone. I have timezone support enabled on MobileMe and the Iphone. The event times are all correct in Outlook and MobileMe, but all seem to be shifted 8 hours forward on the Iphone. We are in Pacific Time Zone (GMT-8), so the 8-hour shift is either a coincidence or somehow the source of the problem. Seems like the calendar events are displaying in GMT time on the Iphone, even though the Iphone TZ is set to PST (San Francisco).
For kicks, I synced another IPhone to the MobileMe account and the calendar events were shifted 8 hours on the second Iphone as well. So it seems to be something to do with MobileMe-Iphone connection. If thats the case, shouldn't these two products "just work" since they are both Apple products?
This is extremely frustrating since we have come to rely on our Iphone calendars, so any help much appreciated.

P.S. Include music videos IS checked within the iTunes music synch tab.

Include movies from playlists are all empty on my iPhone. Where did they go?

Include movies from playlists are all empty on my iPhone. i use this option. i like this option, why then is it not working now.
I have the usual playlists for Music. rock, disco, classic and some techno etc.
These are all full with the sounds i chose to be within these folder on my computer and also on my iPhone,
As expected they are all within my Music app on my iPhone. they are after all music.
As unexpected the 5 or 6 Movie playlist folders were also there,
Here i could access my tutorial movies for varoius subjects. yes from the music app.
Okay
so now we have divided it all up since ios6
Music in music and loads of options, pretty pretty pretty
Podcasts in podcasts and loads of options, pretty pretty pretty
Videos... ugly ugly ugly, now all thrown in together in one big mess. no lists nothing. Store button is ther and thats it.??????
video1 for photoshop is now with video1 for all the other subjects and i no longer have the ability to group my films.
i can see my movie playlist folders in the music app but all these flders are now showing nothing inside.
i would think this to be logicaly true but then the folders should not show either..... these should, now show in my videos app,
But they do not.
whats going on?
am i missing something
or has Apple just missed something?
anyone know?

If you have enough room on the boot drive, head to System Preferences > Accounts and create another Admin Account, log out and into it and try your Software Update again.
If this doesn't work, connect a Ethernet cable to the router or modem (power off/on) and try again.
If this doesn't work then run through this list of fixes.

TS1315 when trying to download photos from my digital cameras I keep getting the message that pics can't be downloaded because of an unrecognizable format. It shows that they are all jpeg files. One camera is a Canon, the other a Panasonic.

when trying to download photos from my digital cameras I keep getting the message that pics can't be downloaded because of an "unrecognizable format". It shows that they are all jpeg files. One camera is a Canon, the other a Panasonic. I have had these cameras for a few years and have never had a problem downloading.

I am having the same problem which has happened very infrequently before. Generally it's one photo and happened when my battery died.
However today I tried to download six photos.
None would download including several others for a total of 21 that would not download.
Since I had just installed a new powered hub and added three new external 4T hard drives, I got concerned that it was the hub. Then got really worried that I'd have problems with the data I have been backing up.
However following this sequence of events, I've determined it's not the hub, but still don't know what is causing the problem.
(1) Put a fresh battery in the camera - same results
(1.5) Used a different port in the new hub - same results
(2) Put the card in the card slot in the back of my iMac - no problems except that one image I knew about last week. The six new images imported.
(3) Tried again using the cable - still same error
(4) Changed cables - my husband has the same camera - still same error
(4) Put the card in his camera with his cable - still same error
(5) Put the card in a card reader and used the same slot in the new hub - no problems - same one wouldn't import but message that there are no new photos to import.
(6) Moved the offending one image to the Trash while the card was in the card reader
(7) Put the card back into my camera and used my cable. iPhoto had no error and displayed the message there are no new photos.
Conclusion:
Not the camera
Not the cable
Not the hub
Must remove bad photo from the card
However, I have not had to do that before. I went through several imports on vacation when there was one bad image and just ignored it each time.
Any idea why this is happening now?
Thank you

HT1600 I have only two icons, computer and settings after latest update. Where are all the others such as youtube?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, a number of users appear to have encountered this problem. Some of these users have reported that the problem just disappears the following day or shortly after. Other users have found various other solutions to this problem.
Firstly, are you receiving any date and time errors when you turn on your Apple TV?
Check that you are properly connected to the Internet, by ensuring that you have a proper IP address and not one starting with 169. Also check that your location for the iTunes Store is set correctly, if so you might try changing it and then changing it back.
If the problem persists try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router, or if this doesn't work you might like to try a restore.

Why are all of my contacts duplicated on my iPhone/ipad with iCloud?

Why are all of my contacts duplicated on my iphone and ipad when using icloud?

One way this happens is when you previously synced contacts via iTunes/USB cable. If you haven't turned that off in iTunes, then you'll get duplicates from iTunes and iCloud.

I have three chargers(the newer kind) and all three of them have major shorts in them. They have to be in a specific postition for them to charge! Why is this? Are all of them having problems?!?!

I have three chargers(the newer kind) and all three of them have major shorts in them. They have to be in a specific postition for them to charge! Why is this? Are all of them having problems?!?! This is just RIDICULOUS!!!

I have a charger for the iPhone 5 that has absolutely no problems. I got my iPhone 5 the day they were first sold almost a year ago. Also in my family are 2 iPads and 2 iPad mini's all with the new lightning cables and none have had problems.
If you have problems and they're legitimate Apple products, bring them back for replacement.
