IPhone5 - lightning 30 pin adapter problem

The adapter plug is too short to work when the iPhone is in a THIN case.   Aparently the Lightning cable's plug is longer than lightning plug in the adapter for 30pin cable.  Returing the adapter; it's not as adaptable as it needs to be!

Complain to your case's manufacturer.  They need to make their cases to fit Apple's specifications for the phone and accessories, NOT the other way round.

  • Lightning 30 pin adapter issue

    I just received my iphone 5 lightning 30-pin adapter. With my particular phone case, the pin connector is not long enough to insert into the phone and charge. Has anyone experienced this issue as well? The only way to use it is to remove the phone case.

    Your case designer should have done their homework .
    They would have full details of the iPhone and its accessories
    assuming they are a developer status

  • No sound from Apogee Jam with iPad mini and Lightning-30 pin adapter

    Hello everybody.
    I'm trying to use my Apogee Jam with iPad mini but I am unable to hear any sound from it. Jam seems to work, since the led become green and react to the guitar signal. I tried two different guitars and different cables but nothing changes. Jam also works perfectly on MacBook Pro and garage Band, so I first assumed the issue was in the iPad or in the Lightning-30 pin adapter (genuine).
    Oddly on AmpliTube I can tune the guitar, so some signal arrives to the iPad, but I can't do the same on JamUp, where the tuner seems not to reiceve any signal. Are there some settings I should check on the apps?
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    Make sure you have the monitor input turned on in GarageBand. http://youtu.be/Eb8bN3tExio

  • Can I use apogee jam on ipad 4 with lightning 30 pin adapter?

    Can I use apogee jam on ipad 4 with lightning 30 pin adapter?

    OKAY Mikivai73, here's what I found: no less than TWO cheap alternative-brand imitation connectors that go 30-pin to lightning, failed to even make apogee jam device light up blue.
    Spent hours mucking with it.  Finally tried proper genuine apple usb to lightning connector with the OTHER cable that comes in the apogee JAM box, and it worked straight off!
    So, I am buying a genuine pukka APPLE 30-pin to lightning adaptor in the full expectation it will work, and have left questions for the Ebay guys who sold the two cheap (less than 5 pounds sterling) alternate adaptors.
    For info, I got the Ipad 4,and the cheap adapters, one looks like the real apple one, right down to packaging, the other is a stumpy little thing, no cable just a plastic connector, with 30 pin one side, lightning other side.
    That's it, I am ordering from the apple store now, can't be more certain than that.
    best regards from sleekitwan.

  • 4 pin to 9 pin adapter problem

    FCP can't see my capture cam when hooked to my new MacPro (log&capture) or any of my firewire drives. The first thing I did was look in the system profiler and it wasn't there. I hooked up to my old imac and system profiler said it was there and the drives work fine. That rules out a firewire problem.
    I bought an adapter to go from 400 to 800 firewire so I'm assuming this is the problem. I returned it and got a new one but still no joy.
    Anyone else had this problem because if not the only other answer could be all of my firewire ports don't work on a brand new Macpro.

    On the contrary, that points precisely to a Firewire bus problem.

    When you eliminate the obvious and the wishful, the only thing left, regardless of your ability to accept it as likely, is probably the solution: your empirical evidence points directly at a bad Firewire bus on your new computer. All we have is your description of what is obviously a bad FW bus.

  • Lightning  30 pin adapter taking where is it?

    Why is it taking so long for the adaptor I ordered on September 14th to come?!?

    I would probably have to say that it's because #1, so many have been ordered. #2, it's a brand new product and a lot of them are still stored in a warehouse until they can be shipped. Hope this helps!

  • Logitech speaker S715i won't recharge my "ipad mini" using the lightning to 30-pin Adapter. Has anyone solved this problem?

    Everytime I connect my mini to the Logitech S715i or Logitech Pure-Fi Express Plus speaker a pop-up appears telling me the iPad doesn't recognize the device and the battery symbol shows that it isn't loading. I am using the lightning to 30-pin Adapter.
    Is there a way to correct this so my speaker will act as a dock and load the iPad?
    Would love the help if you have the know how. Thanks!

    Since the last update I have noticed the percentage of battery power does increase when my iPad mini has been docked although the actually staus reported on the iPad screen while docked is 'not charging'. This is obviously an Apple recognization problem (not sure about third party as Apple is providing the software).
    Will not return my Logitech as it has excellent sound (speakers are higher watt then others in this price range), plus it has a built in battery which means I can take it on the terrace for tea in the afternoon.
    As pointed out it requires more power then the iPhone, it does take longer to charge, so in the future if I need a quicker charge I'll do it via a wall outlet.
    side note: This problem must also be why my iMac is shutting down all other USB devices when the iPad is plugged in.

  • Dear Apple's people, please note that "Lightning to 30 pin Adapter" don't work with iPhone5 and iPhone5s "Base Dock"  !!!!

    Dear Apple's people, please note that "Lightning to 30 pin Adapter" don't work with iPhone5 and iPhone5s "Base Dock"  !!!!

    Ho comprato un adattatore originale Apple "lighitning to 30 pin adapter" per poter usare i mei vecchi cavi dell'iPhone4 con il nuovo iPhone5.
    Se collego l'adattatore (con il vecchio cavo delliPhone4) direttamente all'iPhone5 , tutto funziona.
    Ma se collego l'adattatore (con il vecchio cavo delliPhone4) all'iPhone5 tramite la "base dock" , l'adattatore non viene riconosciuto e non funziona.
    Pensando che l'adattatore fosse rotto, ho riprovato con altri identici adattatori originali, ma il risultatato è lo stesso.
    Quindi penso che potrebbe essere un errore di progettazione della base dock che supporta unicamente la connessione diretta tramite un cavo lighning e non supporta la connessione se in mezzo c'è l'adattatore !!

  • Looking for an extender for lightning to 30-pin  adapter

    The .2m, or the longer lightning to 30-pin adapter for the Iphone 5/5s/5c, is too small.
    I drive a 2008 VW Jetta with a 30-pin iPod adapter dock in the center that was stock with the car. I have the adapter, but, it is just not long enough at all. I don't mind it, but I would prefer, of course, to have something longer, and safer.
    I have already tried Cablejive cables, and they are not compatible with VW systems.
    I don't care if the solution is bulky at this point, I just want something safer when I drive, so it is easier to pick my music.
    I was reading somewhere someone using a firewire cable or something? And just to let you know, I do not have an MDI connector.
    Thank you all.

    If you're using a case on your iPhone 5, the problem may have something to do with the way your case was designed. Many of the most popular cases aren't compatible with the adapter becasue they prevent it from being flush with the bottom of your iPhone.
    The workaround solutions are to cut out part of the bottom of your case so the dock connector will fit, or to exchange the adapter for the adapter cable, which is $10 more but plugs in to the bottom of your iPhone like the USB cable that came with it.
    Personally, I just cut two small rubber parts of my case out (an Incipio DualPro that otherwise offers great protection, which I got at the local Verizon store). That solved the problem for me.

  • Lightning to 30 Pin Adapter Charging Starts and Stops Intermittently

    I purchased two Lightning to 30 Pin adapters, and both are exhibiting the same problem.  They seem to start and stop charging intermittently on my iPhone 5, which, to be clear, is not in a case, nor is the adapter obstructed in any way.
    I purchased one for a dedicated iPhone/iPad charging station that I keep by my nightstand.  The adapters fit flush with the 30 pin connector on the charging station side.  At least three or four times during the night, the phone vibrates twice with the "you've just connected to power" alert and wakes me up. Trying the same thing in the car with the other adapter, the iPhone charging starts and stops while connected to my 12v power converter via a Twig cable.  When I connect the standard Lightning cable to either the charging dock (through its included USB ports) or directly to the same 12v converter plug in my car's cigarette lighter, I have no trouble charging at all.
    Has anyone else seen this behavior?  Could I have two faulty adapters (which doesn't seem likely), or is there something in the nature of the adapter that makes it turn on and off the charging on occasion?

    I have the same problem. I bought the same type of Speck Candy Shell case that I had for my 3GS iPhone. The $34.00 Lighting to 30-pin adapter will not fit through the case and into the IPhone 5. I just talked to Apple support and after being on hold 5 mins while the tech talked to her supervisor, the Apple solution is "take your case off the phone when you want to use the adapter". I hope thousands of us complain and Apple fixes this. If Apple had not been so secretive and talked to accessory manufacturers they would of know that the Adapter they designed was faulty. Now I how to drive to an Apple store to return the Adapter to get my money back. Only the USB cable will fit through the case into the iPhone 5.
    Bad Adapter design my Apple. Thats what happens when you design a product for millions of people - in a secretive bubble.

  • Lightning to 30-pin adapter not working w/iHome/iPhone 6.

    Lightning to 30-pin adapter is not working correctly with iHome/iPhone 6.  When I plug phone in the music and time update will work but it won't charge the phone, unless I turn my phone around but then music won't work.  I've only had my iHome for a year and used it with no problem with my 4S.  Now that I have the iPhone 6 I decided to get the adapter so I wouldn't have to spend money on a new iHome.  I thought I just had a bad adapter, at least that's what they told me in the Apple Store.  So I exhanged it at Best Buy, where I bought it, and got another one.  Very disappointed that I have the same problem.  Anyone else have this problem?  Did I just wain't $30.

    No-one from Apple here
    It is either a corrupt update to iOS
    or something in Honda that no longer likes iOS 8.3
    To eliminate an issue with iOS 8.3 basic troubleshooting
    Restart
    Reset
    Restore ,as new ,check iPhone functions if working correctly then restore your back up to get back to normal
    If still an issue you then need to eliminate the potential Honda side,2007 is very old technology compared to 8.3

  • Lightning to 30-pin Adapter works great with iPad Keyboard Dock

    In case anyone was wondering, the Lightnng to 30-pin Adapter works great with the original iPad Keyboard Dock and an iPhone 5. In fact it is better than the 4S was, as that tended to pop out. The Lightning adapter stays in place, and there is plenty of support in the back plastic to keep the iPhone in place, with any tiny stress happening at the Dock connector end: the Lightning connector itself seems very solid indeed. All the keys work, and charging is fine.
    (In answer to the implicit question: my employer blocks email at work on its systems, and it's convenient to have the keyboard hold the phone in place, and also charge it, which is the problem with the Bluetooth keyboard.)

    Might be a question better asked of the manufacturer of the iHome device.

  • Lightning to 30-pin Adapter not work properly with iPhone 5s

    Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (0.2 m)       with iPhone 5s working good with power adapter and 30-pin cable, but how iPhone at 100% power, I see message "This accessories is not working correctly".
    But with iPad mini 1 everything is OK.

    Bottom line, the iPhone case restricted insertion of the 8 pin adapter into the IPhone. Slide in cases with open bottoms have no problems but wrap around cases can restrict flush insertion due to insufficient access to the recepticle in the iPhone.

  • Lightning to 30-pin Adapter issues - flimsy and won't work with cases

    Anyone else having issues with the Lightning to 30-pin Adapter/Connectors? When applied to my Sony docking stations (numerous btw), the iPhone 5 barely rests securely on the connector AND the Lightning pin itself won't even fit or connect on the phone when the cases is on - this is iPhone 101 folks. I shall be returning all of my conenctors that I have purchased as they do me no good. Would really appreciate a proper fit and well stock of these items ASAP as its causing tremendouse aggrevation with the conenctor switchover.
