Best USB cable to charge HBH-IS800?

Which of the Sony Ericsson USB data cables will charge the HBH-IS800, from an Apple MacBook with no SE software installed?
I tried one - I forget the model number as I sent it back but it was probably the DCU-65 (though might have been a knock-off) - and it didn't work: the headphones recognised being plugged in, but would not charge. I read on another forum that you have to use a PC and it only works with drivers but this seems extremely unlikely.
As the AC adapter is bulky and I have no other SE devices I would like to travel with just a USB cable - any advice?

Unfortunately the pins are different when it comes to the USB cable this does mean you are unable to charge the headset with a USB cable this can only be done with the AC adapter.

    Are you connecting your iPhone directly to your PC or to a USB hub?

  • Why will my usb cable to charge my ipod touch on my laptop not work?!?!?

    Then I plug my USB cable into two of my USB ports it says it does not recognize my charger USB cable. But then when I put it in my other one it recognizes it!!! What happened?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

    Perhaps the USB port is damaged somehow. Does any other device have a problem with the same USB port?
    By the way, this is a worldwide forum, not a chat room. Therfore, if you post something, don't expect a reply within five minutes. (That's how long it took before you posted again to ask "does anyone know".) That's just unreasonable!

  • Does anyone have problems with the lightening to USB cable when charging from an outlet? After 6  months of use, it seems to wear out as a result of twisting caused by using the iPad while charging?

    Does anyone else have problems with the lightening to USB cables, particularly the longer version, when using the iPad and charging at the same time?
    If so, am I doing anything wrong?

    Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
    Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
    I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
    Thanks for the advice, Bee
    Cheers, Gerd

  • USB cable to charge my iPhone 4S in the USB port in my car?

    Check the car documentation  ,some will support charging but many specifically will not supply a charging current

  • If my phone is lost with 'Find my iPhone' activated, will it notify me if they connect the phone to the internet (via usb cable to charge/try to use itunes/etc) in a place where 3G/signal is unavailable?

    Dropped my phone and returned to the area 10 minutes later and it is gone.
    Problem is that there is a lot of dead area around here. I was wondering if they connected the phone to a laptop or PC connected to the internet with the intent to charge it or get into itunes(in an area with dead signal), will find my iphone notify me?
    Thank you in  advance...stressing very much about my phone. It is my work phone.

    Only way to be able to locate your iphone is if it is turned on. Just a note.

  • TS1538 My computer and itunes won't recognise my ipod. It's not coming up anywhere, not even in the device manager as a camera or whatever the troubleshooting said it might say. Plugging it in with the USB cable just charges the device.

    Ipod is not connecting to itunes. It doesn't show up in itunes, 'my computer' or the device manager and plugging in the cord just charges the device.

    Hey, first off, i'd like to say i'm not extremely technical - but i'll try and keep up. i'm having more or less the same problem as JasperMack, only, iTunes is recognizing it as my brother's iPod - Not mine. I've searched through the device manager and i got nothing that will recognize it there. My iPod DOES however charge, it almost takes on the roll of my brother's - only problem is when i got to sync it, it says "no device avalible" or whatever. I got this iPod 2nd-Hand (probably a bad idea) and i have no idea what to do. This is the 1st time i've attempted to to plug it into my computer and it's already taking a flying leap into hte zone of "not working" anything???

  • N97 charging through usb cable in-car

    using the nokia usb cable to charge the phone when connected to pc works fine. no problems at all. decided to use the same cable to charge whilst in the car, through a 3 way splitter which has a 5v usb port. nothing. no charging took place. I can get a charge for my DS using it's cable in the usb port, but not the nokia. What am I missing? is it that the nokia demands more juice to get a charge going, or what? I'm confused. Can anyone help with this?

    Step one: pull out the battery Step two: Short the terminals of battery. SImply licking the golden connectors would do so. You would feel salty taste Step three: reinsert the battery and let it charge Magic just happened

  • Cannot charge my daughter's ipod touch nor does the computer even realize it is hooked up to the USB cable

    cannot charge my daughter's ipod touch nor does the computer acknowledge that it is plugged into the USB cable.

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    or
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Incase Dual Car USB Charger with Lightning to USB Cable

    Hi,
    I just buy this item and it seems that the item is not working...
    What can i do?
    Incase Dual Car USB Charger with Lightning to USB Cable           
    $39.95
    Yakir

    jddj,
    If the charger uses the firewire pins (even though it uses a USB cable) to charge in the car it won't charge the iPhone 3G.
    The iPhone 3G supports charging and syncing over USB only, the original iPhone supported charging over firewire in addition.
    Hope this helps,

  • USB cable compatibility between Classic and 5th Generation

    Does anyone know if the Classic and 5th generation can use the same USB cable and charge either one successfully. Or, asked another way, can the Classic use the same portable charger as the 5th Generation?

    A 5th gen iPod is not a Classic. See this link for assistance in identifying your iPod:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353
    If what you have is truly a 5th gen, you should start a new thread with an appropriately descriptive title in the 5th gen iPod section:

    Best of luck.

  • After using the cable to charge my iPad I can't sync my iPod touch

    I just got the iPad 2 and I have been using my old USB cable to charge it on my laptop and on the adapter it came with. Now when I use the USB cable to connect my iPod touch to my laptop to sync, it doesn't show up in the devices column. I don't know if this caused by iPad but when I connect my iPod touch to the laptop, all it does is it charges it as opposed to before, it would sync right when I plug it in. How can I solve this??

    Ok I have solution for PC and PC base laptops for Windows OS.
    All you need to is to get this tool from Asus and install in on you PC or Laptop it will boost the power to USB:

  • Can i use an extented usb cable to recharge my ipad ?

    Hello !
    I just bought iPads for my business. I want to use it with stands and i'm looking for a way to recharge it. I bought a 5m extended usb cable, plugged it and the ipad made a sound like if it was recharging but then, it says, "not charging" !
    How can i charge it ? Any ideas ? It seems that this 5m cable is useless...
    Thank you !

    Ok, i see...
    But the thing is that i'm going to use it on a stand. The Apple charger doesn't go inside the tube of the stand so i need an usb extension...
    I tried with my phone (Nexus 4), it worked !
    Here is a plan as yours of what i need :
    iPad-----Lightning/USB inside the tube------------Extended USB cable----------Apple charger-------(eventually a classic electrical cord extension if i need it longer)---------Wall.
