DC or mini-USB to iPod Mini cable: do they exist?

Hi. I've recently bought a solar charger, which comes with an adaptor for Ipods and Ipod Nanos, but not one for Ipod Minis. Does anyone know if such a thing exists? The charger has a DC-out port and a mini-USB port, so I need a cable with one of these on one end and an Ipod Mini Dock connector on the other.
Thanks,
Aidan

Aidan (my son's name by the way),
I am fairly sure you are mistaken or we are talking about two different things. All Minis use the Dock connector. If you look a the Apple specs on the web site, the Dock connector to USB2 cable for the Mini is part number M9569G/A which is exactly the same one used for the iPod Videos. I.e. they all use the same dock connector so the connector with your charger, IF it is the right one to plug into an iPod video or iPod Nano is also the right one for a mini.
So either you are not using the correct connector in the kit of connectors that came with the charger or you are using a much older iPod pre-Dock connector (which would only charge via a Firewire port) or one or both of us are very confused. Or perhaps the connector that comes with that charger has the plastic molding such that it won't insert into the Mini do to interference? Maybe the Mini's dock connector is more recessed than the others?
Did you have a standard USB cable to charge your Mini on your computer?

  • Connect IBook G4 to Panasonic Stereo via iMic and Toslink to Mini Cable?

    I don't have an Airport Express and I want to record from cassettes (and LPs with a higher quality input). The only output from my 5 year stereo (apart from the headphone jack) is an Optical out (which the manual says is for connecting digital devices and suggests you can connect a Mini CD player). What I want to know is can I connect a Toslink (optical) to mini cable (such as the Monster Interlink Lightspeed 100TM) from my stereo to my iMic and then the iMic to the iBook and then use the software I've tested with recording LPs directly from the turntable to the iMic to record the cassettes and any other output from the stereo? Hopefully someone will know the answer to this before I spend £40 on a cable. I phoned the Apple store and asked them and they really didn't know. I've also emailed Griffin Technology in the hope that they might know. I also thought I'd try posting on here to see if anyone knows.

    Unbelievable but true! I've managed to solve the issue yesterday on my own.
    For those who are interested and didn't find a forum that helped much, here is an easy manual:
    Boot with normal Monitor using a normal DVI cable.
    Start Teamviewer so you can follow the next steps on an iPad, iPhone etc.
    Unplug normal monitor.
    Now use a DVI cable with HDMI at the other end.
    Plug in Panasonic Plasma TV by using the above mentioned cable.
    Now the plasma stays black, no signal arrives. Look at the iPad via Teamviewer and open monitor settings.
    This should show that the Panasonic has now been found.
    Switch the resolution to 1280x720.
    Tataaaaa!
    The Plasma TV now proudly shows the content of your Mac Mini PowerPC. Play with further settings in order to optimize the display width etc. Set the TV to 16x9 manually.
    Enjoy!

  • My remote won't turn on/off the mini cable box

    Recently installed system, per onscreen directions.  Remote manages TV fine, but the "All power" button only works on TV.  Mini cable box power "button" is unresponsive, causing me to have to unplug it. Fault in user, or in the equipment??

  • IPod AV cable to connect to tv?

    A coworker said he thought you could connect the MacBook Pro to a tv through the iPod AV cable? It should work for audio, but does anything like this work for video, or do you have to go through the dvi output?

  • Can I use the iPod Nano cable and AC power supply with the iPhone?

    Just purchased my iPhone 3G. Phone was in my pocket and the AT&T clerk neglected to put the box with the computer cable in the bag with the other accessories.
    Until I can pick it up, can I use my iPod Nano cable? The plug seems the same size but I don't want to break anything.
    Also, there was no power supply in the box due to the recall. Can I use the iPod AC power supply I bought for the iPod? It is the white brick about 3" by 3" by 1" with a USB socket in the side.
    Thank you for helping me with my start-up glitches.

    Ps. When you do get the accessories, look for a green dot (on the side where the prongs of the plug come out). If there, fine; if not, your adapter is subject to the recently announced recall of ultracompact USB adapters.

  • Firewire and USB with iPods

    I have a Gen 2 Ipod that needs a firewire connection to sync/charge and I have a new iPod Nano that needs USB to sync/charge.
    I have one of those dual cables that has both connectors at the and plugs into my dock.
    Is it safe to leave both the USB and the firewire plugs plugged into my MAC so that when I put either iPod on the dock they will charge? Or am I doubling the voltage somehow and possibly frying my iPods slowly?
    Thanks

    You should not connect both the USB and FireWire cables on a component of that type to a computer simultaneously.

  • USB to Ipod/Iphone inconsistant

    My ipod & iphone don't always connect when I jack them into the mac anymore. I've tried multiple USB ports and multiple cables. My external hard drive remains connected without a problem. Sometimes if I restart or shutdown I can get it to attach, but more often than not it doesn't. Will not power either.
    Any thoughts?

    could you just wrap the original usb cord up with like a rubberband, make it tight, and then you have a shorter cord? I don't know where to find one that is as small as you noted.

  • USB-C to DisplayPort Cable Problem

    I purchased a USB-C to DisplayPort cable from Google Store.
    When I plug it in to the 12-inch macbook, I get a USB Devices Disabled error message,
    even with no device connected on the displayport side.  I've tried doing the SMC
    and NVRAM resets.  The console reports an overcurrent condition.
    I suspect it's a bad cable or maybe there's some incompatibility.
    Does anyone have any successful experiences with this cable on a macbook?

    Ask Google for a replacement or a reimbursement.......

  • I want to connect a usb drive via adapter cable to...

    I want to connect a usb drive via adapter cable to my nokia C2-01.is this phone support usb otg feature as in nokia x2-00?if not then please recomend a method to connect a usb drive to this phone..
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi mate,
    Sadly the Nokia C2-01 does not support USB OTG functionality. There is no method AT ALL to connect a USB device to this phone in the way that you have stated. If you require storage then instead of a USB drive you can use a microSD card up to 32GB, as the phone supports it.

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

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