IPod Touch question about Firewire and USB cable

I just bought a USB 2.0 extension cable on ebay to charge my 64 GB iPod Touch. I also bought a USB wall socket that I was going to plug the extension cord in to (I haven't received the wall socket yet). Come to find out when testing the extension cord on my laptop I get the message " charging is not supported with this accessory". I thought that was the case only with firewire cables. But this is supposed to be USB 2.0 What's the deal? Can a firewire cable look like a regular USB cable? And does anyone have a work around that I can use?

I realized yesterday that I had another USB wall jack which I use at work to charge my IPT. I took it home with me plugged it into the wall and tried to charge the IPT without the USB extension cord, and it worked fine. When I connected the USB extension cord, I got the same message, "Charging is not supported with this accessory." I'm so frustrated. Mainly because I don't understand what is causing this issue and therefore don't know how to remedy it. I would buy another extension cord, but I don't know if that one will work either.
Here is the link to the USB extension cord that I purchased on ebay:

A question about grub and USB

Hi All
I have a quick question about grub and USB that I can't quite find the answer to by searching. Most of the FAQs discuss booting a full linux dristribution from USB. My situation is this. I am getting a new computer with two drives, the second will be arch and the first will be Vista (for my wife). I want the computer to boot the same way that my wife's machine boots at work so I don't want to install grub on the MBR. So, is there a way to have all of the grub config files and kernels installed on the second drive and simply install to grub boot loader to the MBR of a USB stick? My goal would be to simply plug the USB stick into the new PC and boot arch from the second drive.
Thanks
Kev

i cant say for hp's
havent worked on any in a while
recent machines have been coupleof dell's , vaio & emachine
which dells do offer it at least the ones i tried , my laptop does(dell)
all home pc's are built by me which do offer to boot individual drives
what hp you getting it may tell in specs
are both discs sata? if so it might not offer this option with 2 drives of same interface
check your power supply alot of these preconfigured machines put cheap under reated power supplies in there
& will burn your motherboard i just replaced PS(250 watt) & mobo(845gvsr) in an emachines <cheap stuff<
i hope you researched the pc before buying ie : mobo, power supply are the biggest concerns
i find it much more benificial to build my own machine gives me peace at mind. the cost is sometimes more in $ but not always , your biggest expense is time researching hardware
if you live in usa the best places to start looking are bensbargains.net & pricewatch.com
i am not affiliated with either & niether sell the hardware they are just advertisers a place to buy
for costomized machines that i would trust is unitedmicro.com theyll asemble & test before shipping
i have gotten 2 machines so far from them with NO PROBLEMS with hardware (knock knock)
you may want to consider this in your next venture for pc

Ipod Touch Stuck on Itunes and USB screen(more details inside)

Right. Couldn't quite explain the whole thing just from the topic description, but I'm pretty sure you're all familiar with this issue. I tried to restore my Ipod using Itunes and once it was done, the Ipod Touch(2nd Generation), simply stayed on a screen with the Itunes logo and a USB cable. Naturally, I tried plugging it back into my computer, but it didn't recognize the Ipod. Then I tried putting it into recovery mode and DFU mode and it seemed to work at first. However, sometimes the computer(and Itunes) recognize the Ipod and sometimes it doesn't(says it's an 'Unknown Device'). But here's the biggest problem. Regardless of what my computer says, before I can do anything, the Ipod always 'restarts' on its own. So even if I go to Itunes and try to recover the Ipod again, it always 'restarts' and is unrecognized again. This is becoming quite a headache for me and I can't seem to find any solutions for my particular situation. Anyone got any ideas?

Anybody? lol. Really need help with this problem, as I have no idea what to do at this point. The Ipod doesn't do anything more now than show that screen I described before. If I hold the power button down, it just goes right off, it doesn't even give me the slider option. And it's still resetting over and over again...

My Ipod touch is frozen. Shows USB cable with arrow pointing to Itunes. What is the problem? This is the second one I have had that has done this!

My Ipod touch is frozen. The screen shows only USB cable with arrow point to the word Itunes. What is the problem? This is the second touch I have had that has this same problem. HELP!

This time try restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod instead of from backup. You may have some corruption that is causing the problem and it may now be in the backup. If the problem persists after restoring to factory defaults/new iPod. then you likely have a hardware problem and ana ppointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iPod touch displays a iTunes and USB cord picture.

Tried to update to ios 6 and got the iTunes logo with the USB cord picture on the screen. Tried to restore and is frozen.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Follow up to IPod touch question about kicking back to menu

What it's doing is while at a site such as Facebook or while reading something on MSN or ESPN, the screen goes black and kicks back to the icon menu- very annoying- what can I do?

Mi ipod touch 5g no carga con el cable usb

por que mi ipod touch 5g no carga con el cable usb, será el cable o el ipod?

Google translate:
because my ipod touch 5g not charge with USB cable, it will be the cable or the ipod?
Could be either
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store or contact an Apple Authorised Service Provider

IPod touch frozen on screen showing apple symbol and usb cable.

Pod touch frozen on screen showing apple symbol and usb cable. Happened during a update attempt.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

IPod Touch won't sync, false "this cable or accessory is not certified" and several other errors

Helping my dad long-distance with his iPod Touch 5th generation, running 8.1.1.
He's having several problems trying to sync the thing:
1) "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with your iPod" error, even though he's using the cable that came with the device, when connecting to his Mac. (This happens with both certified Apple cables he owns.)
1.1) He's unable to take screenshots of this error, even though he can take screenshots of any other screen.
2) Won't charge when connected to his Mac (does charge when connected to his 5w cube).
3) Connecting to Mac dones't launch iTunes, but does launch iPhoto.
4) Sometimes, even after launching iTunes manually, the iPod doesn't show up.
5) We we can get the iPod and iTunes to talk to each other, he gets 7/8ths through syncing, then gets the error "Some of the videos in your iTunes Library, including the video IMG0925.jpg, were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod." — yes, the "videos" that won't "play" on his iPod are all JPEGs.
6) When clicking [OK] to clear problem #5, it's always followed by "iTunes cannot back up the iPod (device name) because an error occurred." Even though it was 7/8ths done before the error occurred.
7) Issue 5 and 6 occur when connected to the Mac over wifi too. (We've tried with wifi backup both off and on.)
7) He's randomly prompted for his iCloud password at least 3-4 times a week. Entering it doesn't make this problem go away.
8) Tried to update to 8.1.2 (hoping it would fix some of these issues), but after tapping [Agree] in the overlay screen, he's taken back to the T&C screen with [Decline] and [Agree] buttons at the bottom, and NOTHING happens.
So we he back up via any means, he can't upgrade, and we can't wipe and restore because he'll lose a month's worth of updates to calendar and address book.
I'm know my way around Mac and iOS, and I'm stumped. Anybody got anything?

- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

IPod dock connected to both firewire and usb at same time

I have 3 ipods, 3G 4G 60gb photo 5G 80gb vid. I have a 5G doc and a dual usb / firewire cable. I prefer to manage my 3G and 4G using firewire as it is oh so quicker. However 5G requires usb2 only. I have a Apple 'dual' usb/firewire port cable that at the moment to use I alternate which socket is plugged into the front port of my PowerMac G5 as they are the only spare ports I have.
I just bought an Iomega Ultra Max which comes with a built in firewire and usb hub that means i now have enough ports to dedicate one of each to the ipods but want to use only one dock and so I would like to plug both the firewire and usb iPod cable into the hub and leave them there connected to the iPod dock. I know it won't cause problems when the 5G is connected as there is no hardware for firewire connection. But the 4G has both.. will I encountering a usb and firewire conenction cause problems and possible damage to the ipod or my PowerMac G5, will the 4G ipod use firewire in prefeance to USB if it will work???

Hi iPodista;
I would recommend very strongly that you don't even attempt do this. Generally cross connecting in this fashion is a very good way to get yourself into serious troble.

Will the earphones and usb cable be included in the box if i buy an ipod shuffle online?

i want to buy an ipod shuffle online, and so when i went to the compare section, it said that the earphones, usb cable and the ipod itself would be included in the box. however, when i went to the store and cart section, they suggested that i buy both the earphones and usb cable? are they included in the rm169 price tag? if not, are they necessary for the ipod shuffle? thanks in advance to anyone who is able to help me out here

You can click the Store button top left of this page, then iPod and go to the information on the Shuffle to seew what is included in the box. If Apple says the earphones and cable are not included then they must be purchased separately. You need the cable to sync music, and the earphones to hear since the Shuffle does not have a speaker.
