Can't pull usb cable out easily

I just got my iPad 2 and when I'm ready to disconnect it after charging, the usb is very hard to pull out of the iPad. Is there some trick here? I have an iPhone, so I know how it's supposed to work, I assume.

Hi,
Gently squeeze the sides of the connector where it slides into the iPad. See if that makes a difference
It shouldn't be difficult to disconnect. You assume correctly
If that doesn't help, if you are in NYC, (going by you user name) make an appointment at a Genius Bar and let Apple take a look at it.

Synch wont work - Dad pulled the cable out

My Dad pulled the cable out when I was synching my iPod touch with iTunes. I can no longer do a complete synch - only 29 songs out of 540 songs are on my iPod Touch now. I get an error message when I try to synch and upload the rest of my library. The error message reads "Attempting to copy to the disk Jack's iPod failed. The disk could not be read from or written to". Can anyone help solve this?

Sounds like that upgrade (The 2.02) is for your iPod itself. It's a free update, however, if you had purchased the 2.0 upgrade. I'd try updating your iPod software, trying a different USB port on your computer, or event trying to restore the iPod on a different computer.
Hope this helped! Good luck!

I accidently pulled the cable out when syncing. Now my ipod automatically restarts after a few seconds. What do I do?

Please help
I accidently pulled the cable out when syncing. Now my ipod automatically restarts. What do i do?

OK, in that case a restore should fix things:
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode").
Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.

I can't pull a value out of a list from CFDIRECTORY.

I've avoided insanity all these years, but this issue finally has me on the brink. My institutionalization is in your hands.
I'm trying to get the name of a specific directory from the list of directories generated by CFDIRECTORY action="list". But everything I try, fails in one way or another. Bascially, I can't pull the value out of the structure -- even though the code DOES FIND the value -- because it thinks the value is supposed to be a field or key. (The server is running CF8.)
These lines of code work fine:

<CFSET LocalDirectoryList = "">
<CFDIRECTORY action="list" name="LocalDirectoryList" TYPE="dir" directory="#PathOfLocalFolderToCopyToRemoteFolders#">
<CFIF IsDefined("LocalDirectoryList.RecordCount") AND LocalDirectoryList.RecordCount GT "0">
<CFLOOP query="LocalDirectoryList">
Now comes the killer. I want to define a variable whose value is the name of the current local directory -- that is, the value of LocalDirectoryList.Name for each loop of the loop. But if I try to Access LocalDirectoryList.Name as a simple string variable, the way I usually can for a query string variable --
<CFSET ThisLocalDirectory = LocalDirectoryList.Name>
-- I get a message, "You have attempted to dereference a scalar variable of type class java.lang.String as a structure with members."
On the other hand, if I treat "LocalDirectoryList.Name" as a structure, and try to destructure it with any of the following --
1) <CFSET ThisLocalDirectory = Evaluate(LocalDirectoryList.Name)>
2) <CFSET ThisLocalDirectory = "#Evaluate(LocalDirectoryList.Name)#">
3) <CFSET ThisLocalDirectory = "#StructFind(LocalDirectoryList, Name)#">
4) <CFSET ThisLocalDirectory = StructFind(LocalDirectoryList, Name)>
5) <CFSET ThisLocalDirectory = "#Evaluate(StructFind(LocalDirectoryList, Name))#">
I get either "Variable backgrounds is undefined" (for 1 or 2) or "The specified key, backgrounds, does not exist in the structure" (for 3, 4 or 5) .
As it happens, the name of that directory is "backgrounds". So the value I'm looking for DOES EXIST in the structure "LocalDirectoryList". And the code IS FINDING IT. But it thinks its the NAME of a key, instead of the VALUE of the key.
Note: Adding the attribute, listInfo="Name", to the CFDIRECTORY tag restricts the returned fields, or keys, to "Name", but LocalDirectoryList.Name is still a structure, and I still get the same results.
Will I be the next cuckoo in the cuckoo's nest? Or can you save me, and keep me sane? My fate is in your hands.
Thank you!

But it thinks its the NAME of a key, instead of the VALUE of the key.
Because that what the code is instructing CF to do ;-)
<CFSET ThisLocalDirectory = StructFind(LocalDirectoryList, Name)>
If you want to search for the literal string "Name" it must be enclosed in quotes. Otherwise you are instructing CF to treat it as a variable and to pass its value (ie "backgrounds") into structFind(). The same thing with evaluate().
<CFIF IsDefined("LocalDirectoryList.RecordCount") AND LocalDirectoryList.RecordCount GT "0">
However as Michael pointed out, there is rarely a need for evaluate, and under normal circumstances no need for that IsDefined either. The query should always exist and the loop will only execute if the query contains one or more records. So the code could be reduced to this.
<CFDIRECTORY action="list"
                name="LocalDirectoryList"
                type="dir"
                directory="#PathOfLocalFolderToCopyToRemoteFolders#">
<CFLOOP query="LocalDirectoryList">
         <CFSET ThisLocalDirectory = LocalDirectoryList.Name>
</CFLOOP>
Note, there is technically no need to assign #LocalDirectoryList.Name# to another variable either. It can be used directly.

HP laptop can't install usb cable

hi guys i have my HP laptop and i tried to connect lmy iphone using usb cable into it .. but then it doesn't workand said FAILED what tips can u advice ..also i see my device manager under other devices >iphone with an yellow exclamation point then i tried to updated that driver but it says access is denied .your help will be very much appreciated ..

Hello ramziman,
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
I understand the iPhone is not properly connecting to the computer. Please try the following troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue:
Go to the Start menu (or Start screen), and type "services.msc" in the search bar (without the quotes). When it appears as an option, right-click and select "Run as administrator". Look for the "Apple Mobile Device" which should be near the top. Ensure it is "Started" and "Automatic". If it is, stop the service. Then, close all Apple programs (iTunes) and unplug the iPhone and any other Apple devices. Then, go back and start the service. At that point, open iTunes and then plug in the iPhone.
Please try this and let me know what happens.
Have a wonderful day!

Can I detect USB cable unplugged for USB 6229

I am using a USB 6229 to control a moving machine. As a safety mechanism, I would like to be able to detect if the USB cable becomes unplugged and stop the machine.
I thought maybe I could use the Watchdog functions in DAQmx to achieve this, but I get an error which says that watchdogs are not supported on the 6229. Does anyone know if there is a way to detect the USB cable is unplugged on the 'machine' side of the 6229, please? I could build my own watchdog timer and control it using digital I/O lines, but I wondered if I was missing something obvious?
Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,
I don't believe you'll be able to do set this up with your USB 6229. There aren't any safety features like watchdog timers on that device and I don't believe there's a signal or anything generated when the USB cable is unplugged. Your best bet would be to build your own watch dog timer or perhaps look at a DIO device with this functionality built in.

I've had similar problems, but wait for the drivers to install, also sometimes my phone won't connect straight away, pulling the usb cable out of the phone and pushing it back in again quite quickly usually gets the connection to work ok !

K1 USB Cable

Can anyone please help me find out where I can get another USB cable for the K1 (The one that comes packaged with the unit) It is not available on their retail website or lenovo spare parts website. I have tried calling customer service but they have NOT been helpful at all.. I either get transfered between three different departments everytime because they are not the right department for that.. then I get someone who sort of knows what I am asking for but cant help me.. then I get someone who has no clue what it is or about their own product so they always end with "It's to new of a product and not in our system" I am so tired of this run around!!
I misplaced mine and would like to get a replacement.. I am not asking for a free one I will gladly pay for it if it's reasonable. Someone, ANYONE please help, THANK YOU

I think he actually posts the pin-out further down (with the 12V mod) but I can't see the full image and zooming in on the thumbnail is illegible.
I tried to create an account to message him but the security code pic(captcha) is in cyrillic (which I don't have on my keyboard ). Tried cutting and pasting letters from the wikipedia of cyrillic alphabet but it's still not accepting.

The new USB cable chargers

I have over 5 USB cable chargers from apple products that I have brought this year. All the USB cables have started to fray at both ends and all are Not working and they look old like I have had them for years. I am using a USB cable that I have had for 3 years that you click in both ends to get the USB cable out and it works great and still looks new the new USB cables look so old compared to the one that I have had for 3 years. Before anyone get on here and says that I must be rough with the cords I have a USB cable cord for 3 years and it is in perfect condition so that answer it self.

Hi Rudegar
I have sent them two emails about the problem still no reply and next week I have to take one of the iPhone to my local Apple store back for replacement so I will be taking all the cords with me then. Lets see what they have to say then hopefully replacement of the cable cords lol

Can't disconnect USB from IPod

IPod was connected to computer when it shut down due to low battery. I disconnected IPod from computer but cannot get cord out of IPod. What am I doing wrong?

Squeeze the sides of the connector to release the retaining pins. You should then be able to pull the cable out.
