Composite a/v cable w/ charger
Just bought the Apple composite a/v cable for my I Pod touch. Can you leave the charger plugged in all the time without harming the battery?
Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
For the sake of the environment it's a good idea to disconnect it when it's not in use. It'll also reduce your electricity bill.
As for the +iPod touch+ it's a good idea to keep all the electrons moving in the battery so at least once a month you should allow the battery to full discharge and then fully recharge.

S Video Transfer Cable vs. Composite Video Transfer Cable???
I am double checking here after importing some footage. During review; I am not satisfied with the quality. Of course these are old and weren't stored well so I expect the actual footage to be deteriorating.
The thing that's bugging me is that the tracking seems fine on the T.V. but looks horribly off in iMovie during import and playback. Would the cable cause this?
I am wondering if I should purchase a $10 S-Video Transfer Cable and re-import the footage?
My little consumer digi-cam (Canon ZR40) only came with the RCA Composite type transfer cable.
Is the actual difference noticable to the human eye?
Thanks"..During review; I am not satisfied with the quality.." ..iMovie doesn't display as sharply as a TV ..this is really a "cut'n'paste" editing program, not really a viewing program, so you won't really see the full quality till you export back to tape, or to a DVD, and view that on a good screen ..so don't worry needlessly.
"..the tracking seems fine on the T.V. but looks horribly off in iMovie.." ..A TV doesn't normally show the extreme edges of a picture; they're intentionally cut off to avoid showing any 'raggedness' around the edges ..this is known as 'overscan'.
What you may be seeing - which won't be visible once you've edited, exported back to tape or DVD and are viewing on a similar TV - is probably the overlap or 'handover' between the video heads on the original recorder, giving an extra few lines of 'garbage' at the top or bottom of the screen.
This is normal ..that's how VCRs work ..it's just that you usually don't see it, except, perhaps, on a plasma or other flat-screen TV which scans right to the edges (..i.e; has no 'overscan').
"..purchase a $10 S-Video Transfer Cable and re-import the footage.." ..It'll probably make no difference.
Edit some of what you've imported ..say three minutes' worth. Export that back to the Canon, then play that from the Canon into your TV. Compare that with the original which you imported into the Canon.
I expect you'll see no difference ..maybe the imported, edited and exported looks slightly better, if a 'timebase corrector' inside the Canon gave a more sharply synchronised capture onto tape than the simple playback from your original VCR (..it does happen..) -
Any good chargers or dual-use cables for charging an iPhone 4S (30-pin) and iPad 4 (lightning)?
Here is the situation:
A sick friend lies in bed most of the time and has her iPhone 4S (30-pin) charging cable connector within reach. She now also has an iPad 4 (lightning connector).
We are looking for a good charging solution which doesn't require multiple chargers or getting up and replacing the cable in the adapter.
We know we can use the same adapter for the iPad 4 and iPhone 4S, but the cable/connector is different.
Is there a good single cable with both kinds of connectors on the end?
Or would a connector adapter be easiest?
Or is there some cool charging unit which can do both at the same time?
Thanks,
DougYour only two choices, that I can think of, is to use an adapter. I have a third party one that I got at Office Depot that has micro USB on the end, with a lightning or 30 pin that I can swap out. And there are cables that are dual ended...as in the adapter is attached and can be plugged/unplugged but are still part of the cable.
For third party I'd suggest to stick to well known names, Targus, Zagg, Kensington, Belkin etc for your shopping. THose companies have most likely, gotten permission from Apple to make accessories.
The only other option I can think of is to use a longer extension cord to put the power block near your friend's bed, which will then allow her to plug in the appropriate cable to charge the appropriate device. -
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:

Availability of the Apple Universal Dock & Composite A/V Cable
Does anyone know if the Apple Universal Dock & Composite A/V Cable for the Touch are in Apple Stores? My daughter purchased what the sales person said were the correct accessories as a surprise b'day gift from the Apple NY Soho store and they sold her the iPod Universal Dock and a Monster Composite (RCA) Audio cable. Wrong! Apparently the sales person did not know what they were doing. When looking at the Apple Online Store it states that they take 3-4 weeks for delivery. BTW, I am waiting for my Touch which is enroute.
Thank you for the response, but Apple's own support site states otherwise. The iPod Universal Dock uses an S-Video out. The Apple Universal Dock requires the use of the Composite or Component A/V Cable. The Apple site specifies that the iPod Universal is not compatible. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300233
Were you actually able to send your Touch video to your TV via the iPod Universal Dock? If so, I'll give it a shot before returning it. -

I am using iphone 5C when I use to data cable to charge it from my laptop I always get an error message saying 'Power Surge on hub port'. I am not able to charge my iphone at all. Please help
I have read that usb hubs usually have only 1 port at a high enough watts = volts x amps iPads need 10watt = 5v x 2 amps so when you use more devices it may share the power so I would buy a usb charger with 2+ amp ports if you want to just charge your devices the computer hub are not designed for that just communication

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.

Recently read on a deal site forum page that you can only use Apple lightning cables to charge iPad Air or iPad Mini Retina running iOS 7 or higher. Is that the case or will any 8-pin to USB cable work? Thx in advance for any helpful replies.
Due to a lot of bad press that Apple was getting due to burnt chargers, shocked users (the electrical kind...), etc., due to the lousy third party El Cheapo brand generics, as of iOS 7 the cable must be Apple-certified before the iGadget deigns to use it for charging purposes. Unfortunately (for Apple) the old traditional USB to 30-pin cable is just that, a straight piece of wire, and can't be validated by the iGadget. But lo & behold, the new gear uses the new Lightning cable, which contains an embedded chip that CAN be validated and lousy imitations disabled from use.

My ipod touch 4th generation isnt charging with my cable.
When i use my dad´s cable, it charges.
But, however, after it´s fully charged (which takes strangely only a minute), i use it for five seconds and then it goes off.
What should i do?- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable if available
- 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 Genius Bar of an Apple store.
