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.

Upgraded to iOS6 and now charging cable doesn't work

I just upgraded to iOS6 n my iPhone 4, and now my charging cable doesn't work. No...it's not an "official" Apple charger, but even the usb cable doesn't work when I plug it into my computer. If I plug my iPad charger into it, it works fine. How can the new operating system determine what kind of usb charging cable it "wants" to accept? This charger and cable worked flawlessly before the OS upgrade.

Same problem here. I use a wall charger and have had success by unplugging the charger from the wall, plugging the adapter into the iPhone, then plugging charger back into wall. Had the same problem with a car charger and got the phone to charge using the same procedure. I'd love to know if this works for you. Good luck!

What is the problem and how I fix it !? Thanks in advance :)

Apple told you it was unrepairable.... You had it serviced by an unauthorized party. It's now no longer eligible for out of warranty replacement by Apple.
There's really nothing else we can say about it. Find a competent 3rd party repair shop or buy a new one.

The charge could stop if it's overheating internally, is your phone getting really warm during charge?

If my charging cable doesn't work do i get a new for free

I had a lightning cable, that came with my iPhone 5s, that frayed and broke at the connector. I took the cable and phone into the Apple Store and they exchanged the cable for a new one with not a question asked. Good experience.
I think part of it is that the design of the Apple cables is quite flimsy especially at the connector and I think they see a lot of them fail.

The charging cable now longer fits all the way in the charging port. I can't see if any lint is in there, but if there is how can I get it out?

Go to the Music section of your Library (very top-left corner) and see if your songs are there. The "Purchased" playlist may have been deleted or gotten corrupted, but if that happens it's not a big deal because your music should still be in your main Music Library.
If your music is NOT in the Music section of your Library, then go to the iTunes Store homepage and find the Quick Links list on the right side. At the top of that list, click Purchased and you can redownload all of your previous content that you might have lost.

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,

IPhone 4s videos to first gen iPad

I have an iPhone 4s which I took some video with this weekend. I copied the videos over to my MacBook Pro and then attempted to copy them to my first gen iPad. The event for the video shows up on the iPad but not the videos. Videos that I took with my old 3GS transferred over just fine using the same process. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hello dpc1701,
You'll likely need to create a version of the video for your iPad, as it does not support HD video.
iTunes: Videos may be unable to sync to iPhone, iPad, or iPod

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:

There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

New airport express and first gen time capsule

Hello, I have a first generation time capsule and I want to use my new 1392 airport express to both extend the signal and to play music on my stereo. Can I do both of these things with airport express? If so how d I do it? I currently have been using an old express to play music (it is a first gen express) but also now need to extend the signal.
Thanks!

Yes you can.
If the Express has been configured already, start from the beginning with a "hard reset" (see below) then select "New AirPort Express..." from your Mac's Wi-Fi menu. AirPort Utility will launch and lead you through its configuration.
To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then press and hold its tiny reset button and keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.

Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Issue not resolved
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

My ipod touch is frozen on a screen with the ipod logo and the usb charger cable...i cannot get rid of it...i let the battery die...i held the sleep button and the power buttons..anyone have any ideas?

my ipod touch is frozen... the screen has a picture of the itunes logo and a usb charger. I have held the sleep button and the power button to reset and i have let the battery die and started to recharge...niether worked. any ideas???

Try charing it to 50% at least.
If all else fails, try putting it in DFU mode. Connect it to iTunes, (iTunes may not detect the device, but that's ok) hold the power and home buttons down for 10 seconds, then release the power button but keep holding the home button until it goes into DFU mode. iTunes should detect it and ask for a restore.
