BAD NANO CABLE FRIED MY DELL LAPTOP

I bought the NANO today, and when I plugged it into my laptop...the laptop died. I thought I had terrible luck and the laptop just died, but when I plugged it into my desktop...voila, the desktop blue-screened and rebooted. It does this everytime the cable is plugged in!!!!
So now, I have a new NANO with nowhere to plug it in and I'm out a dell laptop?????
Windows XP Pro

Are you sure the iPod fried the Dell? Maybe the Dell fried the iPod, and then the fried iPod is causing problems with the other computer? Do you have an Apple store nearby where you can take it to the genius bar and have them look at it?

I have 3 Dell laptops at home and I am unable to connect my iPad 1 to any of them using the USB cable. If I connect the iPad to any Apple computer using the same USB cable, it works perfectly. I have installed the latest versions of iTunes and iOS, but still no luck. Apple Store Geniuses helped me determine that it wasn't my iPad causing the problem, but were less helpful when it came to dealing with non-Apple devices.
Options?

Does the OS see the iPad at all? In other words does it show up in either the My Computer or Device Manager?
I've had problems in the past where I had to modify the registry to get my son's iPod to sync with a particular HP laptop.
If it doesn't show up at all have your tried using an external hub (with or without power)?

WD 1TB not recognised on 13" macbook pro retina (late 2013) even though it is exFAT file structure. The same drive is recognised on iMac and an old Dell laptop. I also have a seagate 2TB external hard drive (powered) that is recognised by my macbook pro.

I just bought a late 2013 macbook pro retina 13" a few days ago. I am trying to transfer all my music from my old Dell laptop. I formatted by 1TB Western Digital MyPassport to exFAT to allow read and write on both operating systems. The 1TB WD My Passport is recognised by both my Dell and iMac but not my new macbook pro retina 13 (late 2013). My 1TB WD My Passport is USB 3.0 with USB 2.0 backward compatability. I also just bought a 2TB Seagate Desktop Backup Plus (which is powered) for backing up and extra file storage, THIS WORKS! I don't understand how this works on my macbook pro but my 1TB western digital my passport doesn't. PLEASE HELP!! I have done full formats as well (not quick ones) which take nearly 8 hours. PLEASE HELP

Is there a pattern to the time of day or other detail that may be
traced back to a OS X system cause of this odd phenomenon?
Are there any copies of system files on any of the attached USB
external drives? Any libraries, such as iTunes, iPhoto, etc?
Once the drives are indexed by Spotlight, are their permissions
ignored by the OS X? Content, if neutral, should not affect the
wake or sleep cycle; especially if they're ignored by the OS X.
Could there be a bad cable or other component? If so that would
be a difficult process of elimination to detect it. Usually replacing
most suspect components in the USB stream (external to Macs)
is a rote way to mechanically test that idea; & not 100% sure.
Does the equipment all have a good ground to the utility or house
electrical field? An intermittent ground may affect more than sleep.
Hard to say at this point. Maybe a late-night talk radio guru on
remote viewing could peer into your situation and sleuth it out?
Sorry to have run out of ideas, but the process must be electrical
& mechanical to some extent. - Or perhaps odd software inspired.
Do you have any phone-home spyware items inside, just jumping
at the chance to spill your information? Little Snitch may help.
PS: Perhaps the computer needs to go into Apple & have a genius
or product specialist at AASP test the unit thoroughly... BlueTooth?

Can you use a nano cable to charge an Iphone

Im trying to charge my iphone with my nano cable. The phone is completely dead and it doesnt seem to be working. Any idea?

Deggie,
Apologies if I'm coming across picky, however I still believe that saying on a interational forum "NEVER use front USB" is rather bad advice.
It makes no mention of desktop/laptop for example. My work laptop, from a well known manufacturer using Windoze XP op sys has USB ports on the front. Someone searching this forum might come across this post, see the advice and take it.
I wouldn't like to speculate on the market share of pre-built machines vs custom built/gaming PCs. However if I was to use my family and friends for comparison, not one of them uses a factory built PC, they are all shop built, but from independent stores, custom built, with powered USB ports directly from the mainboard to the front of the case, I'm based in the UK but don't know whether that makes a difference.
I'm not having a go, I just like to be helpful and if anyone else comes across this problem, assuming the cable and iPhone are fine, then it seems one of the stages troubleshooting the problem would be to check that the particular USB port is powered, and if not sure, try the other ones. To say NEVER use it would be harsh, and confusing for users like me (if I didn't know better) that have neither front or rear usb ports (such as my macbook pro) or have front ports (such as my work laptop) that are powered and work a treat at charging my iPhone.

Looking to Switch from Dell Laptop to MacBook Pro

I currently use a Dell Laptop at home for personal and work. I have to use outlook, excel and word alot. I also have to use the internet. If I go with the MacBook Pro which one do you recommend? If I don't have a wireless router can I use me aircard?

The Openreach engineer may/will just bypass the xNTE and fit a new master socket. He should fit this where you want. It may be possible to turn one of your phone sockets into the new master socket. Obviously you will need to discuss the best options with the engineer.
If the modem can not be installed in the extension room and you are prepared to run Ethernet cable outside using CAT6 you will not get any drop in speed up to 100 meters so you could have your Homehub router in your ground floor extension. This would be a better option than powerline adaptors, which as you have found do loose speed.
If you have to use Powerline adaptors then make sure they are at least the 500Mbps ones and preferably 1Gbps one.

ITunes gets frozen when connecting Ipod to Dell Laptop! Help!!!

Never mind...i actually found some advice thru the forums and fixed it up myself. My Ipod and ITunes are working now.

Mac laptop fails to logon wireless to WRT160N V2 after setting up a Dell laptop

I assisted a cooworker over the phone with wireless setup of a Dell Laptop and afterwards she could not connect her Mac laptop (it was working okay before). The only thing we did was log the Dell into the router via ethernet cable, obtain the PIN for WiFi Protected and use it to connect wirelessly. She closed the router config screen without making any changes. The Dell connects to the WRT160N wirelessly without problems but her Mac received a message "wireless setup has changed..." and it prompts for the linksys password but gets invalid message when entering PIN. Could connecting the PC cause a problem with the Mac? Or does it sound like she may have changed something when exiting the Router config screen?

When we originally booted up the Dell, it detected the linksys (SSID) wireless LAN, prompted for the Routers PIN number, we entered the 8-digit PIN found in the router's Wi-Fi- Protected Setup page (radio button was already set for Wi-Fi Protected Setup). After entering the router PIN the Dell connected wirelessly and the MACbook started to have problems. One person thought that by connecting the PC using WPS - it may have changed mode or encryption. I didn't setup this wirelss LAN originally and it is my first experience using WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). I can switch it to Manual and go through all of the settings you suggested later today.

No IP address intermittently on Dell laptop when connecting to EA6400

Ever since I have a new EA6400 wireless router, my Dell Latitude laptop doesn't always get an IP address when connecting to the router. It's only a problem with the Dell, other devices connect without trouble. The Dell laptop doesn't have problems with any other routers it connects to. Any ideas...?
When connecting, the wireless icon in the tray sometimes shows a yellow exclamation mark saying 'No internet access'. The wifi status shows 'Limited' in that case. The solution is most of the times to turn off wifi completely, then turning it on again. This apparently forces a reconnection including a new IP address from the EA6400. My setup is pretty out of the box, no changes made to DHCP settings or other network related things. I'm puzzled...
Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Router Placement
Forum User - "Well I feel really dumb. After moving the router away from other electronic devices my speeds are back to normal. Just a heads up for anyone experiencing slow speeds, you might want to move it away from other electronics and see if that helps."
3-6' feet minimum safe distance between devices.
Placement on main level floor and central in the building and WELL ventilated is preferred. Not in basements or closets as building materials, or near by electronics devices could interfere or hinder good signal propagation.

HT1414 In syncing my iphone to my itunes account, it proceeds fine until step 6/6 music. Then there is a message that I tunes software has stopped working. This has happened multiple times. I am on a windows 7 Dell laptop. Thank you.

I keep getting the same error message when syncing my iphone in itunes with my windows 7 Dell laptop: The software has stopped working and will be shut down. Can anyone help?

Hey preachit,
It sounds like we are running into issues with the iTunes software connecting to your device. If possible, lets try plugging your iPhone 5 in with a different cable. Also, try plugging it in to a different USB port on your computer:

We may need to isolate the issue down to the iPhone or the current installation of iTunes. If the above steps have not resolved your issue, remove and reinstall iTunes:

Op to a canon mf4100 that is by cable to a dell pc which uses vista home basics

I am trying to print from a apple macbook pro laptop to a canon mf4100 that is connected by cable to a del pc which uses vista home basics
Both pc are connected to a wireless modem for my internet connection

I found the solution here --->>>: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=SupportDetailTa bAct&fcategoryid=257&modelid=10439
I used the "Add Hardware" option under the control panel. I did not use the "add printer" option under printers
About half way down, you will see some graphics on using ports. This was the critical information to make things work.
For some reason, the printer ink status report will not work on the VISTA computer. It may have to do with VISTA security, but that will have to wait. The important point it now prints now!

My iphone 4 can't find my Dell laptop by bluetooth

My phone was updated iOS 4.2, bluetooth of phone and laptop are ON, internet tethering is ON but it is still searching devices (my Dell laptop) and can't find my laptop How can to do and pair the phone with laptop? Thanks

Your first post said that you are using it to tether?
Your second post says something about file transfer, synching, etc?
As for your second post, you can not synch to itunes via bluetooth, you will need to connect to itunes via USB cable. YOu can only connect to bluetooth for tethering but not for synching to itunes.

Linking Dell Laptop to existing/working Airport Express wireless network

Hi,
I'm trying to connect a Dell Laptop (Inspiron 2500) running on Windows XP to an existing and functionning Airport Express wireless network set up for my girlfriend's iBook. It works perfectly for the iBook.
I have outfitted the Dell with a D-Link wireless G USB adapter and I see the network (i have the password) and it says I am connected to the network (even says connection is very good).
However, when I open the internet browser, nothing.
The network set up is: Cable to RCA Digital modem (model DCM425) to Airport Express (via ethernet) and to computer.
I have tried playing around with the Dell Laptop settings (IP, DSN, etc ...) and I have called everyone involved (including Apple) to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Nick
Dell Laptop Windows XP iBook

Thanks for the reply.
WEP is enabled. As far as the encryption, I'm not sure. I believe that it's 64-bit, as the password for the network is a five-letter word.
The funny thing, though, is that I had been using an IP address which I found on my girlfriend's Ibook, which allowed me to connect to her AEBS network, although the internet browser showed no connection.
Following directions from somebody else, I removed the IP address to enable DHCP, and then I was able to connect to other networks in the area (and the browser also connected to the internet) but I couldn't get onto her network anymore. Even with the password ...
Any ideas?
If i'm supposed to upgrade to 128-bit, how should I go about doing that?
Thanks again for the reply.
What encryption are you using?
Do you have WEP enabled?
The problem you are having probably lies with the
encryption key.

Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT is defective on Dell laptops; what about Macs?

http://www.macsimumnews.com/index.php/archive/nvidiageforce_8600m_gt_is_defective_on_dell_laptops_what_aboutmacs/
Dell will offer 12-month limited warranty enhancement to all worldwide customers of 15 laptops with defective Nvidia GPUs. These Dell laptops use nine models of graphic processor units, and only one of them is also used on MacBook Pro models (15 and 17 inch models), sold from mid-2007 to now.
It’s the GeForce 8600M GT. What is Apple doing for these customers, and why Nvidia doesn’t say the name of all defective models?

This is a user to user forum. No one here works for Apple so you will not get an answer. You can try to contact Apple directly.
