I hope my USB cord doesn't give me can
I love my Zen Vision:M. But has anyone ever noticed in the manual that it warns/advises to wash your hands after handling the USB transfer cord after every use? Not good. I'm sure an Administrator will read this and I really think it should be addressed. I love my Zen and recommend it to everyone, but all of the components should be safe.Message Edited by drumfetish on -23-2007:35 PM
I would say that the only way you will get cancer from cords if if you eat a couple hundred of them. Not to make you paranoid, but pretty much every power/audio cord has trace amounts of lead in it. The requirement to "warn" consumers about cords is a fairly new one. No need to fret. Eric

I need a USB cord for my CanonPixmaMX890 and can't find one anywhere. Is there a comparable one?
I have looked everywhere trying to find a USB chord for my CanonPixmaMX890. Is there another printer cord that is compatable with my printer I can purchase somewhere. I don't have acces to WiFi yet and won't for awhile and this is effecting my business badly. Thank you!
Hi, mzklady!
Your Canon PIXMA MX890 will work with any A-to-B USB cable. These are typically available at low prices at just about any retailer who sells electronics. Additionally, if this isn't your first printer, you may be able to reuse the cable from your previous printer.
We hope this helps! -
20 GB iPod (dock connector) and 60 GB USB cord
Wonder if anyone can help me out with this...
Back in January of 2004 I bought a new 20 GB touch wheel iPod with a dock connector (hence, it came with a firewire cord to connect it to the charger and the computer). In September of 2005 I purchased a 60 GB color display iPod (the fat one, not the ones that show movies) and that came with a USB cord rather than firewire. My firewire cord from the 20 GB works on the 60 GB, however it does not appear that the USB cord from the 60 GB works with the 20 GB. I wanted to give the 20 GB to a friend who has a PC and therefore does not have a firewire port, but if he can't use the firewire cord and the USB cord doesn't seem to work with the 20 GB, then he can't connect the 20 GB to his computer--so he's out of luck. My question is, should the USB cord from the 60GB work with the 20GB, or is there a USB cord that I can purchase that WOULD work with the 20GB or should I just forget about this idea?
ThanksBut what is there to guarantee that buying another USB cable would work? I want to give him the USB cable that came with the 60GB, but it doesn't work with the 20GB... if he buys another one, how am I to know that he won't have two USB cords that don't work with the 20GB? Are there different kinds of USB cords, some that would work with the 20GB and others that wouldn't?

Hi everyone! I tried to install the new iOs 7 on my iphone 4, but it wasn't completed (showing error 4005). Now, my iphone is stuck on the itunes' logo with the usb cord, and I can't use my phone. And itunes doesn't detect my iphone when I connect it on my computer, so I can't put it in recovery mode or someting like that... What can I do?? I tried everything they tell me to do in the apple support but nothing seems to work. Thank you!
No problem, glad to help!
Update: my PC USB hub was connected to a USB 3 port, I connected the 30 pin cable directly to my PC, And the restore worked just fine. Restored phone from iCloud backup and seems to be working fine. -

WD My Passport 1TB USB external drive randomly ejects from my iMac and MacBook Pro.
The drive is approximately 4 years old. When the drive is plugged in, I can see the data. It appears to be working properly. The only problem is that everyone of my Apple Machines are ejecting it. Several years ago, this drive connected to Mac machines with no problems. I have tried two separate USB cords. I have updated the firmware. I have tried it on my MacBook, two different Macbook Pro's, and my iMac.
All give the same result of random ejection of the drive and the error message of:
Disk Not Ejected Properly
Eject "1TB Passport HD" before disconnecting or turning......
Searching through the web, it seems this is an common/known problem. Does anyone know the solution?
Thanks,Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

HP Mini 200-4200 doesn´t give USB in the Boot Menu
Hello!
I have: HP Mini 200-4200, pr nr B3R47EA#ABU. Hard Disk died, received a new one and I was waitng for the USB info to come. I just received in time my USB stick with the Recovery info on it. (USB Recovery Stick is - 685741-034)
I followed the instructions, but in the Boot Menu Options, it didn´t give me an external disk. It gave me 3 options - Notebook Hard Disk, HP, Network Adapter.
I didn´t know what to do, and thought I´d go out of the system and ask for advice here. Pressed Esc. It then continued into Recovery Manager. So I thought, phew!, it will work out. Now however, it has gotten stuck for about 3hours (it can´t be thinking that long?) in this:
"Factory image recovery preparations
Did you receive any Supplemental Disc provided with the System Recovery Media? If yes, insert it now; otherwise, click Skip.
Please wait."
The USB stick has been inserted all this time. Now, after 3 h in the same screen ,I took it actually out for a sec and put it back, no change.
What´s going on?
(should I press the "skip" button?)
SOS!
while waiting for a reply, I shut the mini down and went again to BIOS (no idea what I´m doing - but in some post someone said they changed their boot order..went to look that)
In System Conf, Boot Order comes up as this: Notebook Hard Drive, USB DIskette on Key/Usb hard dis, Usb dc/dvd rom drive, !usb floppy (with an exclamation mark!!!) and Network adapter. The Floppy Boot in Boot Options was disabled...I enabled it...just in case.. no idea what it means. After that USB Floppy doesn´t have an "!" on it.
Should I change here something to get it to put USB up as an option? The order?
I have powered up my mini 3 times with the USB stick in one of the 3 slots each time...not sure it´s a great idea, but it just doesn´t give me the option to Boot Menu...???
Now with all enabled in the Boot order...still doesn´t come as an option.
People also talk about Legacy Mode....can´t find it anywhere in BIOS to change any setting?
Oh, and when I pop the USB in a slot to another computer, it starts reading it...but I´m too ignorant and scared to see what then happens, so I just took it out again.
This question was solved.
View Solution.Boot using the option for "USB DIskette on Key/Usb hard disk". This should get you back to the same place as before. If it doesn't, disable the boot from USB floppy option and try again. Since you didn't receive a "Supplemental Disc" with your USB recovery media (and even if you did, you couldn't use it unless you have a USB CD/DVD drive), you will want to press "SKIP" when prompted. Next, just follow the prompts as needed and eventualy Windows will be installed.
Good luck and post back if you run into any other issues.
Please send KUDOs

My computer doesn't recognize my USB cord
First of all, my printer prints fine if I'm connected with my USB cord in the printer port. However, when I connect any other device (camera or hooking up to do wireless printing) it keeps telling me to plug it in and it IS!! Today trying to go from USB connected to wireless printer, during the set up it says "plug in USB port to computer" (or something like that). Well, the USB was already plugged in. It continued with that message and wouldn't go any further in the set up process. All this time, I thought something was wrong with my camera but now I see - it's something else. So, I tried it with printer on and printer off - no luck. A bad port maybe? So, I tried other ports but continued to be told I needed to plug USB cord in. It's so frustrating- I have a 7520 HP Printer (with all the bells and whistles). A Toshiba laptop, and a new General Electric camera (the camera does not come with a CD to load software so it's not that). I tried setting up wireless using the CD AND by going online to HP site but both tell me to hook up usb cord and won't go any further because it's not recognizing that it IS plugged in!!!! Any advice....I really need to switch over to wireless because my living room is now arranged differently and the printer is on one side of the LRoom and the computer (laptop) is in the middle of the LRoom. Oh, you need to know, I took my camera to a computer shop, WITH MY USB CORD, they plugged it in and there were all my photo files -- so it worked with their computer -- same camera same cord I am using now but it won't recognize the device on my computer. Really puzzled - can you help me? Much thanks!

First of all, dedicate just one REAR USB port to the printer. Stop swapping cables or ports. The wireless setup is different, and is selected during the install process ( you have to momentarily use the USB cable).

[SOLVED] External USB mouse doesn't work
I've installed Arch on my laptop and today faced with a problem. When I boot with AC off my external USB mouse doesn't work. Also it looks like USB ports don't work. If I detached AC when working mouse works fine.
I can suppose there is some problem with laptop mode. May be it turns off usb ports to save energy. Anyway quick search doesn't brings any results. If someone give me a hint how to solve this problem I'll be very grateful.
Last edited by avli (2011-07-14 16:53:15)Well, after diving into configs solution has been founded. The point was to disable auto suspend feature in laptop-mode-tools config by setting BATT_SUSPEND_USB variable to 0 in /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/usb-autosuspend.conf
Hope this information will be helpful for users who probably faced with the same problem. Thank you! -
Compatible USB cord with iPod mini 1st Generation model number A1051
Hi,
I've looked everywhere for a place that sells compatible USB cords with the 1st generation mini circa 2005 and can't find one including the Apple store---in the store some seem to say a particular one works and some doesn't, there is conflicting information. Can you help?
BrandonHello BMSprint,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
A cable such as this one will work. There are several more options available on Amazon. If it's says its compatible specifically with the iPod Mini, then it more than likely is. It might not hurt to read the comments and reviews though to make sure you are choosing a quality product.
http://www.amazon.com/Extra-Long-Data-Cable-iPhone/dp/B00465U2PS/ref=sr13?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1302734509&sr=1-3
Hope this helps a bit.

New USB cord for 3rd gen Nano not working
Okay, I've got a 3rd generation Nano, and the original USB cord it came with was damaged, so I replaced it with an identical one. But now, when I hook it up to my computer, nothing happens---it won't even recognize that there is anything in its USB port. If somebody could give me any advice on how to handle this, I would really appreciate it.
No it doesn't. Sometimes it make a sound that it should when connecting but that is it. Never actually charges or syncs. And it is a brand new cord.

after I upgrad my iphon 4s, iTunes logo appears with a picture of USB cord when I turn on the power.please please help
I had this same problem when I tried to update. It locked up during the update. Your phone is in recovery mode. The only way I could restore my phone was to connect to a different computer and ask it to restore my phone. It worked and thanks to the fact that I had backed everything up to the iCloud before updating, everything is back to normal. I won't be updating to IOS 6.2.1 again. I had also updated iTunes and now whenever it starts it gives me an error message -42110 and doesn't recognize my Iphone when it's connected. Hopefully, Apple will fix this soon. Good luck.

My ipad (1st Generation) and my ipod touch will not come up in itunes when I connect them to my computer. My computer is a MAC and it is brand new with the updated system. Also, when I am connected to my wireless internet at home, my app store will open on my ipod touch, but it will not open on my ipad.
My USB ports work with other devices that I have, such as my camera, and I have tried plugging in the ipad and ipod to different USB ports on the computer, but itunes still won't recognize them. The USB cord that I use works. I know this because I use the same cord to plug into the wall charger and it charges both the ipad and ipod fine. Also, my itunes has been updated to the most recent version (I update it every time that it's an option). I HAVE noticed, though, that my ipad and ipod never ask me to update itunes on the actual devices themselves.
What can I do to solve this issue??? THANKS!Back up first (Time machine) as much as possible.
Un-install and re install Itunes.
First and foremost download the updated iTunes from apple website. After downloading Uninstall itunes and all its component ( Dont worry, itunes library where your movies and music is located will not be deleted. Please follow instructions on the apple support page). The problem might be the AppleMobileDevice.kext
Heres the instructions on how to un install iTunes

Is your iPod not being recognized by iTunes or your computer, or something? (information like that might help)
It doesn't sound like a problem with your USB cord, but probably a problem with your iPod (since the two cords works with your other iPod).
If your iPod is having troubles with iTunes recognizing it, have you tried these five steps?:
