First of all, Apple must learn how to design a USB Cable

Is this is the way you design an USB Cable?
it got damaged near the lightning connector, i bought a new genuine cable again 2 months before.
Again it got damaged in the same place.
P.S: Learn from school boys how to design an USB cable which can sustain for years.

I had one I kept accidentally slamming in a desk drawer. Never seemed to do it any harm. I did break a Belkin car charger by closing it in a car door but you can hardly blame Apple (or Belkin) for that. I still have Firewire cables from my first iPod, and more 30-pin connector cables than I care to think about. I don't recall any of my Apple cables ever going bad. And, frankly, I'm less careful than I know I should be.
I baby my iDevices, but I'm not very nice to my cables.  No, I'm not.  And yet, still never had an Apple cable go bad on me.  I lost an iPad charger (left in a hotel room), which I cursed, but that was my fault, not the cables fault.

  • How to replace an USB cable?

    I am trying to replace an USB cable for my iPhone 4 online, but there are only 8 options and none of them is USB cable:
    Adapter, TTY, iPhone
    Cable, AV, Component
    Cable, AV, Composite
    Earphones with Remote and Mic-US/L.A./Europe/Asia
    In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic
    Nike+ Shoe Sensor
    Power Adapter w/ Plug, Ultra Compact, USB, iPhone/iPod-CAN
    Power Adapter, USB, iPhone/iPod, 45x45-CAN
    There is the power adapter and the headphone, but I don't see an option for USB cable. Any idea?

    You can:
    Use online resources: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone
    or visit an Apple Retail Store: http://www.apple.com/retail
    or call 1-800-MY-IPHONE (1-800-694-7466) (if you live in the U.S.)
    Anyway, if you purchased the phone elsewhere, you need call the store support line for details on how correctly handle your request.

  • TS1538 followed all the steps 1 thru 5 tried another usb cable, and on a 2nd PC

    I can NOT believe getting Albums/Songs from our CD on to our cell phones could be this dificult -
    Somebody please HELP me out here
    I have 5 albums on my Iphone 5 that Verizon transfered over from my Droid
    I add two CD via my CD drive to Itunes on my PC
    I've tried sync'ing ,backing up but 5 on Iphone won't download to PC and 2 albums in Itunes on PC won't go to Iphone
    HELP!

    Here is an update - I tried using wife's windows 7 PC to access/download albums on my Iphone 5 - no luck.
    Finally realized that rather than  follow steps outlined in TS1538: and elsewhere of sync'ing the Iphone 5 via the File - Device - Sync - "Robroy's Iphone" menu option
    If I clicked on the Iphone button on the right side of the  control bar then it showed all the details about the Iphone ( not sure if updating to the latest version of Itunes on my Windows 8 laptop and  IOS 7.1 on my Iphone 5 helped)
    so when I tried to sync now with the Iphone details displayed and I could select the music to sync  and when I clicked on the Sync button I finially ggot to see the errror message that was appearently hidden on earlier attempts where it just appearred nothing happened :
    the error was - my Iphone was sync'ed to our older laptop where the display burned out - and  the Iphone was authorized to the old laptop Itunes library - it said I could wipe out old music and sync the two albums I had the Itunes on my new laptop read in off the CD/DVD player and add to its new library.
    So I'll see if I can export the albums from the old laptop and import them into the new laptop's Itunes - if that doesn't work I'll feed the CDs into the new laptop's Itunes library - probably should have done that in the beginning and it would have saved me time! 

  • How to detect a USB cable's speed rating?

    The iMac is USB 3 compatible, I know.  I also know that there are no USB 3 cable available yet, but I want to use USB 2, rather than a USB1 cable.  I have a bunch of those cables, so I don't want to go out and buy a new one in a box marked USB 2. How do I VISUALLY detect which cable is a USB 2-compatible, and which is 1?

    There are plenty of USB3 cables available, and USB3 cables are compatible with USB2, USB1.1 and USB1.

  • How to remove the usb cable

    I just bought an ipad but I have to use real force to remove the usb cable.
    I find nothing in de user guide about this.
    Is this normal?

    Yes. It will loosen with time.
    A very slight left/right wiggle (not up/down) whilst pulling may help.

  • HT4623 first of all, I dont understand this stuff....but on my Iphone 3 I use to have skpye on it now it will not load since the IOS.4.2.1   now what do I do

    Well first of all, you must speak in basic english...I have a  basic Iphone 3....which I use to have Skpye on it..after restoreing it, it will not allow me to add Skype to it now......any ideas?  the Software is always updated but not to the IOS.4.4  only IOS.4.2.1

    The latest version of Skype will not work on such an old version of iOS. I believe it needs 4.3, which you cannot get on your iPhone 3G. Restore to a backup that was done while you still had Skype on the iPhone.

  • - all of a sudden today when we turn on the tv, apple tv is not coming up- just the itunes logo and a picture of a usb cable. What is wrong?

    - all of a sudden today when we turn on the tv, apple tv is not coming up- just the itunes logo and a picture of a usb cable. What is wrong?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

  • How do i use USB 2.0 with an iBook G3?

    I have a WD external hard drive that operates through USB 2.0 and want to use it with my iBook G3. I thought this wasn't possible since it has the old USB ports, but saw the post 28081 which I think says it is. It said you could use the old USB ports with a 2.0 drive. Should I be able to connect it directly (not mounting on my computer) or do I need some type of USB converter? Is there such a converter available? Thanks for any help!
    kate

    Hi, Kate. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    How successful using a USB 2.0 drive with the iBook's USB 1.1 ports depends on how you are wanting to use the external drive. You can use it for storing or archiving data, but data transfer will be very slow.
    A better option with the iBook is a FireWire external drive (which connects through the FireWire port). It's much, much faster and allows you to make a complete bootable clone backup from your hard drive.

  • My ipad won't charge.  All I get is picture of white USB cable and iTunes Logo.

    My ipad won't charge.  I must admit, I did use it until there was only 2% power left and then went and plugged directly into power and not through PC... but it won't charge.  All I get is picture of white USB cable, an arrow and the iTunes Logo.  I have turned off and on again as previous posts but all I get is the picture of the USB cable, arrow and iTunes logo.  Please help...

    I have been relatively patient - 3 hours on charge but all it does is show picture of USB cable and itunes logo. It it were charging you would think that a picture of the charge would come up to indicate status of charge - wouldn't you think?
