IPad 3 USB cable doesn't fit flush in back...normal?

I notice when I plug the USB cord into my new iPad 3, it's flush in the front but not in the back. In the back, you can see part of the metal sticking out. Is this normal?
Hard to believe Apple would not create a better-fitting cord for the iPad's sloped design...so I figured I'd ask. Worried I might harm my iPad with a defective cord.

No, it is perfectly fine. The iPad 2 is the same way, along with almost all the iPod Touchs, and the first 3 iPhones if I remember correctly. The reason is so that you can have one cable for the iPad, iPhone, and iPods. Trust me, if you use the cable from your iPad box, it will look the exact same. Nothing to worry about.

Dented ipod, USB cable doesn't fit :S

HELP! I dropped my ipod and the bottom has a dent in it and the USB cable won't fit in, will cost money to have it fixed at the apple store? Or will I have to get a new back??? please reply thanks.

If the store can "bend" the iPod case back, they will only exchange the iPod for refurbished one. The price will be:

My desktop IMac OSX 10.6.8 : IMovie '11: Trying to upload a home movie clip from my Panosonic camera model PV-DV203D. I've had this camera several years, and used it with Windows desktop. Now trying to work with my Mac. I have a USB cable, both ends fit, but iMovie '11 does not recognize it. Is there a driver fix for this?

What kind of Mac to you have? This camera is a tape based DV one that connects best with firewire and I cannot tell if your Mac has firewire. If your mac *does* have firewire, get a camcorder firewire cable and try again.
ETA: Oops, I am pretty sure that all the "desktop iMacs" have firewire, so you should be good to go. You will probably need a cord that goes from FW800 to your camcorder.

PCIE power cable doesn't fit!

I didn't get a convertor with my MSI6800GT, as it was a demo sample, but my PSU supports 6 pin output, I did however get a cable thrown into the box at a last minute, which doesn't produce enough power.
Cable 1:
Normal ATI X800 pcie power cable, only fills two of the 6 pins in the 6 pin output, so doesn't produce enough power.
PSU 6pin cable:
doesn't fit! The pin right under the attachment thing is square, on the other cable (which fits but doesn't have enough power) that's rounded and that fits fine.

neuron,
How about listing your specs and post some pix of the hardware in question.
Take Care,
Richard

Cable doesn't fit into back USB ports

My front USB port isn't working...everytime I plug a cable into it I get a message that reads "Power Surge on Hub Port" and it won't connect. My ports in the back are functioning, but I cannot connect my iPOd into them because the cord doesn't fit. Is there something I can buy (like a mini extension cord) that will connect them?
Please help I am so frustrated. thanks!

thanks so much for your help...
I'm using a Dell Computer (it has Optiplex GX270 written on it) with Windows XP. If you need more info just tell me where to find it.
Even when I plug in a USB cable (one that isn't connected to a device), the message still appears. The iPod connector does fit in the front, but not the back ones. I know the back ones work because I plugged a camera into one in the back and it worked, (it didn't in the front).
I would just use the back ports for my iPod too but the cable is a little different and won't work. I think there is excessive plastic on the connector?

USB cable no longer fits into iPad.

My USB cable, which came with the iPad, no longer fits into the slot. What do I do now to recharge my iPad?

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any dust or debris.
Use a magnifying glass to examine the iPad's connector and the cable connector. May be a bent pin or the connector wraparound may be dented. If your iPad is in a case, take it out of the case.

Sounds like you need to restore your Apple TV to factory settings.
See this Apple document:

You will need to use the "Micro USB Cable" to restore it to factory settings.
See the article shown above.
You must unplug the power cord before connecting the ATV to your computer....

IPhone 3G stock and first gen charging cable doesn't fit cleanly.

Has anyone else noticed that the charging cord that came from apple doesn't fit cleanly into their iPhone 3G? Mine fits crooked. It still charges and everything but it just doesn't fit right. This is true for the cord that came with the phone and the old cord from my own phone.

It should fit flush and straight. I use multiple cables (the one that came with the iPhone, a BT Travel Cable, an old Griffin cable in the car (the one with the pinch-to-release clasp) - they all fit flush and straight in the iPhone 3G.
You might want to have yours checked out at an Apple Store.

Not sure what adapter cable you have but if your new machine is a mid 2011 iMac you need this cable. Not a replica of the cable you need the adapter cable Apple sells:

T510i eSATA/USB3.0 combo port: eSATA cable doesn't fit

Hello,
my T510i has a eSATA/USB3 combo port. I assume that an eSATA plug should fit in there. But the eSATA cable I bought doesn't fit. (It fits into my external hard drives eSATA port, though.)
Can you help me with this, please?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Ben

USB cable doesn't connect

My USB cable simply will not fit the port. Anyone else having similar problems?

The standard usb to pc cable will have a gap of about 1.5mm (1/16") between the plug body and the playbook.
Check for gold wires pressed up against the back of the socket which would indicate a ruined socket.
it may be that it's far enough in but no connection- very common problem. It only needs to be plugged in upside down once to ruin the socket.
If so, get a rapid charger which uses the three pin socket to the right of the usb, and use wifi sharing for file transfer.

USB cable doesn't work

Now the problem is I can't get my iphone 5 being charged using my USB cable linked to computer or to outlet with adpter. My iphone 5 just arrived in a week and the first one or two days it can work but yesterday I find it can't work now. I have tried my iphone 5 using another iphone 5 usb cable, and it can work.

All package contents included with the iPhone purchase are under Apple's standard one year warranty. If you purchased the AppleCare Plus extended warranty package if available in your country, the warranty is good for two years.
Contact AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby to get a replacement cable under warranty.

IMac display doesn't fit flush?

The display has a slight gap on the top edge and the glass itself is shifted a bit left so it's can't fit flush to frame. I think over time dust will get in there and be a problem. Has anyone ever had this happen and can it be fixed?

I found it! He had somehow set the zoom on the trackpad. I've never used that feature before, so I didn't even know that could be done.

External HD Firewire Cable Doesn't Fit?

Just got a new (well, refurbished) 24" iMac this week to replace my Powerbook G4. I had a Lacie 250GB external HD connected to my powerbook by 6-pin firewire cable, and planned to use this HD with my iMac as well. However, the cable won't fit in my iMac... it's the right shape, but won't go all the way into the port. If I reverse the cable (i.e. try the end usually in the HD), it will fit in the iMac, but not the hard drive. What's the difference between my Powerbook's port and that on the iMac? Has something changed? Do I need a new cable? Please help!

Ok, get this... in order to figure out what was different about the two ends of the 6-pin cable (which is supposed to be symmetrical), I looked directly into each end and saw that one looked "deeper". It appeared the gap between the pins went back farther in the end that easily connected with the HD and the iMac, while the other end had a plastic part between the pins... curious as I am at 12:30AM, I got a pushpin and was able to pry this plastic piece out (it fit perfectly around the contours of the pins, so I'm assuming it was supposed to be there or was a manufacturing element that should have been removed in assembly). Anyway, with this removed it works fine. Doubt anyone else will ever run into this same thing, but if so, hope this post helps.
