Converter Cables?

Is there any type of cable that functions the opposite way that the cable for the iPod nano (the cable used to connect the ipod to a computer's usb port)? As in, put USB into one end and the other end functions as the bottom port of the ipod nano.
Trying to connect my Shuffle to my stereo in my car, an Alpine CDE-9852 CD Receiver (in case that helps)

is this what you meant?

  • Video Converter Cable - VGA to Composite Video (RCA and S-Video)

    Hi,
    I have HP G60-125CA laptop (Windows Vista) and I am trying to transfer laptop image from laptop to TV (regular sony TV not HDTV) using Video Converter Cable - VGA to Composite Video (RCA and S-Video). But for some reason it's not happing.
    Please HELP.

    I think you need an active converter for this, not just a cable. Try a web search.

  • HP Laserjet 6MP fails to print with parallel-to-USB converter cable

    I have a LaserJet 6 MP parallel printer which I was using in 10.3.9 with a parallel-to-USB converter cable. The Printer Utility saw it natively as a USB device and it printed just fine most of the time, although it would occasionally fail to print, so I installed a different driver called usbtb 1.0.15, and after that it printed very reliably.
    Now I've upgraded to 10.4.9, and the Printer Utility still detects the HP printer natively as a USB device, and I also installed the formerly-reliable usbtb driver again, but the printer now fails to print with either driver. It acts like it's going to, but then it quits.
    When I choose Print, all the features of the printer are shown, and I can select which tray to take paper from etc., and the printer dialogue box says "Printing," the activity light on the printer flashes just as it always does when printing is in progress, but then, instead of printing, the activity light stops flashing and the print job disappears from the dialogue box.
    Can anyone tell my why this printer is failing to print now, and how I might be able to get it working again?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Wait a minute! It's only certain Indesign documents that won't print.
    All TextEdit docs will print.
    I created a few scribbles in Photoshop and they print.
    But with InDesign, there is no predicting which documents will print or will not print. On some that will not print, if I remove all but one text box, then they will print. On other documents that do print, if I copy some text off of one that won't print and paste it in, then that one stops printing too.
    On some that won't print, if I erase everything on the page and create a new text box and type a few words into it, the page will print. If I revert to the previously saved version, once again the page won't print.
    What kind of craziness is this, anyway? It seems random. I can't figure it out.
    Even on the documents that won't print, when I try to print them the printer's activity light blinks as though it is just about to print, but then the light goes out without printing.
    Anybody got any ideas what this problem is and how to fix it?
    All I know is that EVERYTHING printed before I upgraded from 10.3.9 to 10.4.9.

  • Help please. Extended display won't work on MBP and AOC 20" 1600 x 900  60HZ monitor. Mirror display does. I've a mini dvd to vga converter cable. Should this work?

    Help please. Extended display won't work on MBP and AOC 20" 1600 x 900  60HZ monitor. Mirror display does. I've a mini dvd to vga converter cable. Should this work?

    I have the same mini display port adapter and Belkin DVI-HDMI cable (but a Panasonic 42" Plasma HDTV) so just set this up on it to see if I could duplicate your problem, unfortunately for you (but good for me) I can't.
    I connected the adapter+HDMI cable before switching the HDTV on and then powered up the MBP. It (the HDTV) came up with my background right away (it's set at Mirror not extended Desktop) and when I run System Preferences/Displays get the following. Sorry but all I can confirm is that adapter+cable combination should work ...
    Try doing a Parameter RAM reset - hold down command/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys?

  • WIth LabVIEW how do I control an instrument with a RS232 output, using a RS232 to USB converter cable.

    WIth LabVIEW how do I control an instrument with a RS232 output, using a RS232 to USB converter cable since I dont have rs232 ports. I have two instruments that I want to control in this manner. One is an Imada ZPS force gage with RS232 output. The other is a Panasonic HL-G103-S-J laser micrometer sensor which is RS422. I've done considerable LabVIEW programming using GPIB but I have no experience with devices like these. Any tutorial or examples would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I understand that you want to control a device which having RS 232 port as output. If so, you can use an USB-RS232 cable from PC to device and you can control or monitor the device.
    See this link http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/2669
    Also, first check the device in hyperterminal and then continue to program in labVIEW. You can find the serial VI's in Instrument I/O.

  • Usb converter cable help needed

    I am trying to use an external microphone for iMovies.  It apears I can use a USB microphone I have, after talking to someone at Apple.
    However, I need a cable which will connect the non-rectangular end of a usb cable to a 30 pin connector.  Or the newer connector if that's going to be easier. 
    Apple sells usb converter cables which have the "rectangular" end of a usb cable which leads to the 30 pin (obviously becuase it's the connector with the power brick).  But I need one with the different end -- the end that generally sticks into the printer or other device -- which will then connect with a 30  pin connector.  it's not a trapezoid, but more of that than a square.
    Does anyone know where I can find this?  Do I need to worry where it's made?  I ask becuase I've used some Belkin cables in the past with iPods and had some issues with them connecting cleanly.  I've looked on the Apple site and seen ones that say they're for cameras, so I feared they were for the mini-usb connectors, or wouldn't work for some othere reason.
    Help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    It sounds like your mic has USB B, while the standard is USB A.
    THe camera connection kit comes with a USB to 30 pin, but it's regular USB, which is A, not USB B. So maybe a USB B female to USB A male converter? Plug your mic into the converter then the converter into the apple connector.
    But unless your mic is powered, I'm not sure if the iPad will power the mic through a converter, so whatever you play with you may want to make sure they have a good return policy.
    If you try to use the lightning connection, which is the newer one, may be even more problimatic simply because iOS 7.0.4 activated software that looks for signed chips in plugins and those signed chips are only authorized to companies that have gotten apple's permission to make the connector.....which adds another element of 'might not work' to the whole thing.

  • USB to FireWire converter cable, will it work?

    There are a number of sellers on auction sites selling USB to FireWire (4-pin) converter cables. Will these work with iMovie in respect of connecting my Samsung MiniDV Digital (tape) camcorder? The seller claims they will, but I am skeptical based on what I've read on the internet - so I thought I'd ask the discussions for their advice/experience...?
    FYI I'm using a 13 inch Alu MacBook prior to the inclusion of a FW port...

    Despite Niel's great suggestion, the bottleneck is the USB connection into the Mac; even though it's possible to plug a FireWire adaptor into that USB/ExpressCard socket, the ultimate connection (..or combination..) has a USB specification.
    USB delivers burst of high speed data, not continuous hi-speed data, which is what FireWire offers, and what miniDV camcorders send out. The camcorder won't be able to make proper contact with the Mac at the far end of the chain, so the computer won't "see" the camcorder, and nor will the camcorder be able to tell the computer "here I am, sending you a digital video-&-audio stream".
    The connectors will all physically fit together ..just as you can physically pour paraffin (kerosene) into a car's petrol (gasoline) tank ..but that doesn't mean that the car will actually run with a tank full of kerosene ..or diesel fuel, for that matter.

  • Converter cable w/drivers?

    Years ago, a usb to parallel converter cable was available that came with drivers specifically to get old printers to work with macs, especially the old dot matrix printers.
    I think it only supported up to os9, that's why I didn't get it at the time.
    Anyone remember this product and what it was called?

    Is this what you're looking for?

  • Are there any usb to parallel converter cables that work with iMac 10.6?

    Have a Brother HL-5340D with damaged USB port, can I connect with a usb to parallel converter cable and have it work?

    If you try to tweak the dock with third party software, that will corrupt the Dock preferences. Better to leave well enough alone.

  • None of the stores seem to have a spare for the iphone USB to Lightining converter cable, why is that????

    The charger for my iphone5 is lost and I am trying to find a replacement. None of the stores have a stock of the original apple USB to lightning converter cables, most of them dont have it at all or have a third party cable from Gecko or some other brand. Cant see why they are not stocking original apple products despite them being premium resellers of Apple. Is apple even aware of all of this.

    We're users here Vivek, not Apple.  Asking your question here is pointless.  We don't speak for Apple and would have no more idea than you do as to why these are out of stock.
    Do you have a technical support issue?

  • HELP PLEASE! :-) any know where can i get a new power converter cable for my Audigy 2 Platinum P

    HI
    This is a great forum; the posts on here have helped me out so many times with my Platinum Pro card. Unfortunately, I have lost my power converter cable, and obviously without it I am serious up the old creek if you know what I mean. My plans for world domination of the music industry have stalled!
    Now I know theres loads of you with bigger brains than me out there so could anyone point me in the direction of a replacement for it's
    CHEERS!
    TOM

    I built a new PC for use as a DAW, everything works great, it's fast and silent. Everything but the sound card, an Audigy 2 Zs Platinum. My problems is with the "Platinum" daughter card, actually a breakout box. I have somehow lost the power adapter, a four pin, Red, Black, Black, Yellow connector. It probably left with an old power supply, it's been stored for a while.
    I have another four pin connector that fits, but it is not keyed for my card. I can shave the keys off, and it will fit but I don't know which pin is the red, and which is yellow. If anyone has one of these, I would appreciate hearing the pin order. Is red inboard or outboard? This is how mine looks:
    O O O O O O O O O ----- Inputs and knobs
    !!!!! !!!!!FireWire!!!!!!!
    ____________Power
    Inboard -----> |||| -- Outboard
    Creative manuals are in monotone, and my warranty is up, so they won't tell me for free.

  • 1 more time: I installed Samsung 840EVO SSD and tried to clone the OEM drive to it. Disk Utility shows all files landed in the new SSD thru the USB to SATA converter cable yet my Mac won't boot. Why's that?

    The question is why won't my Mac boot with the new  840EVO SSD that I thought I'd successfully cloned all contents from the OEM hard drive by using a USB to SATA converter cable. Disk Utility seemed to indicate the SSD had captured everything from the OEM drive. Note the OEM had 2 partitions to run Parallels Windows XP

    XP is not supported externally or if you install Mavericks, and Microsoft is trying their hardest t o get people off that old tin can, rightly so.
    Usually Carbon Copy Cloner will. Usally. DU is not really meant to and you had 4 partitions before.
    This forum is not for MacBook Pro btw.
    Cloning with DU or CCC may do a perfect job but not be bootable if t he interface or case is not.
    The EVO is capable of 500MB/sec so even your mid-2010 MBP is not going to get the top performance but should be better once you swap it out than what you were using.

    Hello when I connect my Ipad to my HD-television with the Apple AV-HDMI converter cable I don't get a FULLSCREEN view on my HD television, who can help me ?

    Hi Rob - thanks so much for your help!  Could you tell me what "air sever or reflector apps." are? and where can I look for information about them?
    Do you use them on the Ipad or on the PC?
    Do I need a cable too and which one?
    Sorry... I am not very technical as you can see, thanks for your help.

  • APC USB/Serial converter cable

    I have a Lexmark E232 printer with a serial cable. I purchased an APC USB/Serial Converter cable and tried plugging it up to my Macbook, but it is not recognized. Any thoughts?

    The APC Adapter is not driverless. It requires software drivers to work. I do not believe that there are Mac drivers for it.
