Is it possible I need to replace my usb cord?

I have a iPod touch 5 gen and just today I've been having trouble charging. I usually charge my iPod with the two front ports of my computer, but when I went to plug it in, it was only a connected for a few seconds and didn't show up as connected anymore. The cord near where you plug it in to the iPod itself is a little twisted up, but it never really caused a problem before. I also noticed one thing when I was messing a little with the charger cord, I had my external hard drive plugged in the front ports also and I can tell it's working because of the sound of the fan inside and the small blue light on the hardrive. When I plugged in the charger by itself in the front ports, my external hard drive shut off and didn't connect. I'm starting to think that the charger for my ipod needs to be replace but I want to make sure it's that and not my ipod itself.

Not Charge
- 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.

    iTunes never displays the iPod in the left pane?
    iTunes is shipped with a "helper application" called the "iPod Service" that runs and is used by iTunes to communicate with the iPod device. This service may be disabled.
    If your system is Microsoft Windows XP and you are logged in as an Administrator:
    1. Quit iTunes and, if your iPod is currently connected to your computer, safely remove it using the system tray application to manage removable devices.
    2. Right click on "My Computer"
    3. Select "Manage"
    4. In the "Computer Management" window, left pane (tree view), follow this path:
    +Computer Management (local) > Services and Applications > Services+.
    5. In the right pane, scroll down to "iPod Service" and double click it.
    6. If the service is listed as "Disabled" and "Stopped," change to "Manual" and "Start" it. ("Manual" will cause it to start when iTunes starts and "Start" starts the service right now.)
    7. Close "Computer Management"
    8. Restart iTunes and wait for it to completely come up.
    9. Reconnect your iPod.

  • HT4623 My 5.1.1. 28.6 Gb IPad crashes about every 5 minutes or so it doesn't matter what I am doing, whether it is fully charged, plugged in or needing a charge.  It is the first version, is it possible I need to replace it?

    I have had my iPad for several years and recently it has started crashing for no reason, I am wondering if I need to replace it of if there is a fix. It doesn't matter if it has a full charge or if the charge is low. I have noticed that the battery does not hold a charge for very long now so maybe the battery is going bad? Any thoughts?

    It's possible that the battery needs to be replaced. If you bought one of the original iPads, it could be close to four years old now so the battery might be bad.
    Have you tried any basic troubleshooting steps? Sometimes closing Apps and resetting the device can help. Clearing Safari wouldn't be a bad idea either.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Cookies and Data.
    In order to close all apps, Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Apple has has a battery replacement policy that you can look into. I would make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask a Genius to look at your iPad and see if he/she can recommend something different or maybe even restore the device for you to get it back to good running condition again.

  • Need to find replacement for USB cord

    Hello!
    (I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong area, but it seems the Toshiba website is a bit of a hassle to navigate through so I gave up, and hoped that the forums could offer me assistance.)
    Ok, so a couple of years ago I recieved a Toshiba External Hard Drive (model: HDDR160E03X). It worked great, stored all the files that needed stored etc. But the cord that came with it broke, and was repaired a couple of times. Now the cord is to the point where it cannot be repaired anymore (without a serious amount of work at least).
    So I am looking for a USB cord that will work for it. I've tried multiple cords already, but they don't power the external hard drive (it is USB powered) so it doesn't work properly. I haven't been able to find a replacement, which brings me here! Does anybody know where I could find one?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Solved!

    You don't say so, but I infer it's one of those cables that draws power from two USB ports (aka "Y Cable"). If so, here's one.

  • Is the battery dead, or do i need to replace the power cord??

    was using the laptop and had the battery fully charged, also with the power cord plugged in. laptop then apparantly went into sleep mode (took battery out, battery did NOT have any charge according to the charge level) left plugged into the charger and went right back to where it was before sleep mode
    so i put the battery back in and it at that time seemed to say was charging, but an hour later checked the charge level on the battery itself and still seemed to say had no charge...

    Go to Applications/Utilities/System Profiler. Select "Power" from the list on the left, and then copy and paste here what it says about your battery.

  • We currently have 3 iPad minis in our household.  We are experience difficulty with charging them.  I have replaced several USB cords which all have stopped working...it's frustrating.  Any suggestions?

    Looking for suggestions with the iPad mini charger

    The iPad mini came with a 5watt charger I would try the 10wat or 12 watt charger which can buy online or goto the apple store.using 2nd party cords  or chargers is not always the best option they can cause lots of problems it pays to use genuine apple products and if u do have a problem u can always send them back and get a replacement free of charge.

  • USB port....need to replace the motherboard or whatever holds the USB in place

    the USB port on the lower R side of my hp pavillion dv1000 notebook pc....when I try to plug something into the USB port, the port goes in.  I need to replace the USB port. I don't know if it can be fixed or if I have to replace a motherboard or sisterboard or whatever the USB port is connected to. Any ideas or advice and how hard is it to fix it. I don't want to get rid of the laptop because it still works great. I can burn and play cds and dvds on it. I can use the WIFI to access my email. Other than the USB port connection needing repair...it runs great. Please advise or help. Since it's out of warrantee since 2007(purchased in 2004) hp will not give me any support or tell me what part I need to replace etc... And it would cost more to send it out to fix....around 400 or 500.  So I want to get the part and have my friend put it in. Please advise/help.
    Angie

    Post your full model number and I will see if it is a replaceable part.

  • Hello, I am having a macbook air early 2008 and it is having a hard drive failure i need to replace the hard drive is it possible ? the hard drive number is HS082HB

    Hello, I am having a macbook air early 2008 and it is having a hard drive failure i need to replace the hard drive is it possible ? the hard drive number is HS082HB could you please help !!

    You can replace it with a solid state drive, see the one OWC sells here.  The video on how to install it is here.
    iFixit.com has used hard drives available here.
    If it were me, I'd go with a solid state drive, as the prices have come down recently and the performance improvement is noticeable.

  • I lost my Photoshop 8 disc and need to replace it. Is that possible?

    I lost my Photoshop 8 disc and need to replace it. Is that possible? Adobe says they no longer support Photoshop 8.

    Unfortunately, photoshop cs will not run on mac os x 10.10 Yosemite, because photoshop cs is a PowerPC (type of processor) application and Yosemite uses an intel processor that can't run PowerPC applications.
    (apple removed Rosetta after os x 10.6.8 snow leopard)
    You can buy photoshop cs6 or subscribe to the creative cloud for photoshop cc 2014, if you want a version of photoshop that runs on your new operating system.

  • HT5866 my screen on my 5C have crack n I need to replace the lcd screen with digitizer is this possible?

    I need to replace my crack 5C screen, any help

    If you are in the US, some Apple stores have the ability to replace a screen, some do not. If they can, the cost is only $149. If they cannot, then without Apple Care + you would need to purchase an out of warranty replacement at a cost of $269. If you do have Apple Care +. you can make 2 total exchanges over the 2 year life of Apple Care + with a $69 deductible.

  • Portege Z830 - screen has been broken and I need to replace it

    Hi
    I have Toshiba Portege z830. My screen has been broken and I need to replace it.
    Is it possible to install some IPS screen instead of original LTN133AT25-601? Which IPS screen is compatible with LTN133AT25-601?

    Hi
    The original LCD which was used in Z830 was an 13.3"(HD) 1366 x 768 TFT Color LCD.
    So if you want to use other display, then you should pay attention to the screen size and the connectors.
    I think these are most important key elements.

  • Stolen phone, is it possible to purchase a replacement at the upgrade price?

    I purchased an iPhone 5 about 2 mo's ago, upgrading from my iPhone 3 (the new phone cost $200).
    The phone was stolen from a gym locker about a week ago; I shut it down with AT&T and have had Apple lock it if it's connected to the internet. I didn't have any insurance on it (of course!)
    Is it possible to get a replacement phone for the upgrade price, instead of paying $600! Seems that the phone is worthless now, since it's locked and deactivated, but I'm stuck with the remainder of the 2 yr contract! Obviously I'm not looking for a free phone, I just don't want to pay the full $600 since I'm paying AT&T every month fror the contractas it is....
    Any advice?
    Thanks!
    Alan.

    You would need to ask AT&T what they will sell the phone to you for. Sometimes carriers will sell you preowned phones.

  • Is it possible to get a replacement UK iPhone 5 while abroad?

    My iPhone 5 has a badly cracked display.  As I'm out of the UK at the moment, I took it for a Genius Bar appointment in the USA.  They told me it wasn't possible to get a replacement from them, and I would need to contact Apple in the UK to find out if I could get a replacement shipped to me.
    Before I spend money on expensive international phone calls, does anyone know if it's possible to do this?  Are there any other ways I can get my screen fixed or phone replaced while I'm out of the UK?

    Apple has bee pretty emphatic about the warranty/country restriction.  Adding to that dilemma is a broken screen...Apple does not fix that but replaces the whole iPhone as an out-of-warranty replacement.  For an iPhone 5, that cost is $229 in the US...not sure about the cost in the UK.
    Can the UK store ship a replacement?  That would have to be discussed with the UK store, perhaps from a US store if you could get a "Genius" to be on the line and confirm the status, etc.  not sure if that would work but might be worth a try if you are desperate to get the iPhone replaced while here.  Consider shipping time/customs, and so on.
    Just some thoughts on this problem.
