Iphone with bumper case and connector cable

I recently purchased the iPhone 4 and gave my wife my 3G. I had a couple of cables that I use on the 3G for my car and at the desk. I attempted today to charge the iPhone 4 while on a trip only find that the cables that I have for the 3G will not fit into the iPhone 4 which has the bumper case. The opening on the case is smaller than the plastic insulator on the connector.
Fortunately I brought the one that came with it, which normally stays on my desk, along on the trip and was able to charge it without taking the case off. But now it appears I'll have to purchase another cable for my car charger.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I made the same discovery on both my iPhone4s. It would fit on my SkyDock either. So I was able to successfully Dremel both of them for a secure fit. It only takes about 15 minutes of careful work to get them modified for greater charger compatibility. Not sure it wasn't intentional to increase aggregate charger sales.

  • Large cradle to fit iPhone with a case or cover?

    I have an ifrogz case on my new iPhone. However, now it does not fit into a charging cradle that I had hoped to use; none if the inserts are large enough to accept the iPhone with the case on. Does anyone know of a cradle type charger that has a larger "mouth" for this purpose?

    I'm not familiar with your case specifically, but I had the same problem using any of the cases I liked. Your best option is to either use the Apple Universal dock and just don't use any of the inserts or you can use the Griffin Powerdock 2 without any of the inserts. The Griffin is actually much cheaper. It doesn't double as a sync cable, but I don't use mine for that anyway. The Apple universal dock plus a power plug is $49 + $29 = $78 while the Grffin is $24.99.
    With either one, just leave out the inserts for the iPhone. It could potentially be hazardous as you don't really have any support around the phone, so if you pushed it back really hard you might snap off the part that plugs into the phone, but I still think that could happen if you have the little plastic adapter in there for support.

  • Can an iphone with a case fit in the michael kors wallet clutch?

    can an iphone with a case fit in the michael kors wallet clutch? I was thinking of getting it but I do not want to take my pittsburgh penguins case off just so it can fit inside of it.

    Yes I saw that article from before. The problem I am having is one that is unique to the PowerMac G5 and does not effect the Mac Pro. The problem I am having is that the PowerMac G5 uses a plastic shield that won't close when you install an Accelero. In order to get this card to work some people have even cut a hole into the shield as you can see with the first picture from this article:
    http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/Graphics/AcceleroS1R2on_ATIX800.html
    Needless to say I feel very uncomfortable doing this. This is why when I came across an article that showed people bending their Acceleros it gave me hope that I could install one with out having to damage my computer and risk having air flow problems. That is why I am wanting to know if bending the Accelero would work like in this forum:

  • HT3819 what is the best way to set up my childs iphone with apple id and as part of home sharing?

    what is the best way to set up my childs iphone with apple id and as part of home sharing?

    So do I have to hook up an Ethernet cable to both the Uverse AND my computer from the Time Capsule?
    I'm not sure that I understand everything that you want to do and where devices will be located.
    The Time Capsule must connect to the "main" Uverse router using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection. An Ethernet cable can be run up to 300+ feet with virtually no loss, so you should be able to locate the Time Capsule wherever you want.....unless you have a very large estate.
    If you want the Time Capsule to strengthen the wireless signal provided by the Uverse router, then the Time Capsule must be located in the area where you need that additional signal strength.
    If I understand your post correctly, you plan to install the Time Capsule in the office? When you do this, you can configure the Time Capsule to create a wireless signal that uses the exact same wireless network name and password as the Uverse wireless network.
    That will provide a much stronger signal for your Uverse wireless network in the office area. Hopefully, the bedroom that you mention is close to the office, so it will pick up the stronger wireless signal from the Time Capsule.
    The iMac in the office can connect to the Time Capsule using another short Ethernet cable connection, or the iMac can connect using wireless.  A wired connection is always preferred, if possible.
    At this point, I guess the first question would be.......
    Do you have a location for the Time Capsule that will be close to the office....and...the bedroom where you want a stronger wireless signal?

  • I've lost my iphone with passcode lock and find my iphone lock on but the wifi n cellular data was turned off so no way i can trace it so the only question remains is will the person who finds it be able to unlock it and use it as his own ?

    i've lost my iphone with passcode lock and find my iphone lock on but the wifi n cellular data was turned off so no way i can trace it so the only question remains is will the person who finds it be able to unlock it and use it as his own ?
    is it possible to change imei number?
    i've tried for so many times n still the phone is offline so i've set it to offline mode with my message but it never shows the last location why?

    If the device is found, nobody can use it without knowing your Apple ID and password.
    The phone will only show it's location if it is connected to cellular network or Wi-Fi. If those options are switched off, you can't locate the phone.
    With iOS 7, Find My iPhone includes a new feature called Activation Lock, which is designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if you ever lose it. It starts working the moment you turn on Find My iPhone in iOS 7. With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password will be required before anyone can:
    Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
    Erase your device
    Reactivate and use your device
    This can help you keep your device secure, even if it is in the wrong hands, and can improve your chances of recovering it. Even if you erase your device remotely, Activation Lock can continue to deter anyone from reactivating your device without your permission. All you need to do is keep Find My iPhone turned on, andremember your Apple ID and password.
    What steps should I take if I misplace my device?
    If you ever misplace your device—whether it’s just lost or you think it may have been stolen—you should put it into Lost Mode immediately using Find My iPhone.
    Lost Mode locks your screen with a four-digit passcode and lets you display a custom message with your phone number to help you get it back. You can also remotely erase your device if needed, and your custom message will continue to display even after the device is erased.
    While Activation Lock works in the background to make it more difficult for someone to use or sell your missing device, Lost Mode clearly indicates to anyone who finds your device that it still belongs to you and can’t be reactivated without your password.
    To put a device into Lost Mode, sign in to icloud.com/find from a Mac or PC or use the Find My iPhone iOS app.
    For more information, read what to do if your device is lost or stolen.

  • IPhone 4 Bumper Case Refund!?!?

    So i have already bought a bumper case, and i can get a refund yeh...but rather then the hassle of sending that one back to get a new 1, would apple just give me my money back and then i keep my case...saves alot of hassle...would they do that?

    lyricon,
    It wouldn't matter if you sold it to someone else. The point would be that you got $29 back from Apple. The case is now free per Steve Jobs, so it would be like they gave it to you free from the beginning and then you sold it to someone. The person who would feel duped would be the person who YOU sold it to who didn't originally get it from Apple and doesn't have a receipt from them. However, that person, if he or she didn't buy a bumper or case through Apple, would still get his/her free bumper OR case (choices apparently are coming soon) from them, but I'm guessing he/she would only have the option of getting a new, free case, but not getting money back for the case he/she bought from you.
    WHOA, now I'm confusing myself. What I'm saying is that I don't think Apple will be giving a REFUND to anyone without a receipt proving they bought a bumper. They will however give you a free bumper or selected case. These appear to be the choices:
    1. Bought a bumper already. Go to store, get $29 back, keep bumper.
    2. Bought bumper already, but don't like it. Go to store, get $29 back (if bumper in good enough condition?), and choose from other free case option.
    3. Bought no case/bumper yet. Go to store, get free bumper or free case option.
    4. I think Steve said there would be options online too. I guess you could order your free bumper/selected free case online and have it sent to you too, but I don't know if there will be a place to fill in and get a $29 rebate via mail yet.
    I don't think Apple is just giving $29 back if you haven't paid for a bumper already. I think you can only get a free bumper or selected free case.

  • Can you activate an iphone with one sim, and than once it is activated use it with another sim?

    can you activate an iphone with one sim, and than once it is activated use it with another sim?

    It could be the activation server is unavailable right now, however have you or anyone else ever used that computer to jailbreak or hack another phone? That can have an affect on the hosts file. You can check this regarding information on the hosts file or security software problems.
    Error 1 or -1
    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
    Update to the latest version of iTunes. Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) users may need to download iTunes 10.6.3.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
    Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
    Error 3014
    This error occurs when iTunes is unable to reach gs.apple.com in a timely fashion. Follow the steps below in Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com.

  • HT4972 The computer that I normally sync my iphone with has crashed and all info was lost.... Im trying to sync to my new laptop... how do I do this without losing iphone purchases, apps etc???? Help??

    The computer that I normally sync my iphone with has crashed and all info lost.... I'm trying to sync and update with my new laptop but I am getting an error meassage that if I continue all purchases, apps etc will be deleted..... How to I do this without losing all my stuff??? Help I have no clue about technology!!!!!

    The official way to do it is to restore the iTunes library that was on your old computer to your new computer using the backup of your whole system you regularly update.  Then you are syncing the phone with the same old library.
    Some of the information below is summarized by turingtest2 in the post at https://discussions.apple.com/message/18842615
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • Capitalization doesn't work as described. One can start with lower case and change to upper, but changing from upper case to any of the other options doesn't work. Is there a way around this or is this just a glitch that needs fixing?

    In Pages capitalization doesn't work as described. One can start with lower case and change to upper, but changing from upper case to any of the other options doesn't work. Is there a way around this or is this just a glitch that needs fixing?

    I think it does work as described, but the description is not very complete. Capitalization does not change any of the characters that you type; what it does is allow some of the lower case characters to display as capitals. If you copy the result and paste it as plain text, you'll see that the lower case characters are still there. It doesn't actually say anywhere that it can make capitals display as lower case, and it can't.
    The obvious way around this is to actually type what you want.
    The more powerful way is to install WordService from Devon Technologies which adds the functionality of Pages' capitalization menu as well a lot of other ones. WordService actually changes the character to the one displayed, and it works in most of the applications on your Mac.
