Is the Micro USB unique?

I have a HTC 8X.  I know it the cable is a micro USB but I'm wondering if there is anything unique about the cable?  I already had a couple of micro USB cables (like for my blue tooth headset) and I'm wondering if I can use them? 

It's a standard micro USB. You can get them on line for about $5.00

  • Why the micro usb cable doesn't come in the box

    When I bought the apple tv the only this that came in the box was the power conector the remote and the apple tv, I been using my apple tv for month or maybe a year and never had a problem, but today when i wake up and tried to turn on the apple tv, it shows that i have to connect the micro usb to my computer to restore. So why when we by the product, if we need that cable why doesn't come with it?

    it's one of the most common computer cables out there all smartphones but apples use them for sync and charging
    all supermarkets sell them and it's only something you need if something goes very wrong
    so it would make much more sense to include a hdmi cable

  • AT300se...​can I connect to TV via the micro USB port?

    Hi, I was wondering if I can connect to my TV using the micro USB port on the AT300SE model tablet. This version does not ahve the micro HMDi port so i was wondering if I could use an adapter to conenct to my TV via the micro USB? Thanks, Nikos
    Solved!

    Looking at the specs, this tablet does not have HDMI.  So I see no way you can connect it to your TV.  Some of the newer TV's may be able so share your network to play files that are on your tablet.

  • HT5706 Is there a way around updating your Apple TV without the micro usb cable?

    The light is just blinking at me and the tv shows a picture that I must need to connect to itunes.

    Unfortunately, in that case, you will need the micro USB cable.

  • I can't open the micro usb cover in my smartwatch 2

    I can't open the micro usb cover in my smartwatch 2.
    Somebody can help me ?

    It can be a bit tricky to open the USB-cover, but there is a small slit over the USB-cover where you can put in your nail and pull it out.
    You could also use a paperclip to get out the cap a little so you can easily open it your finger, just be careful so you don't harm the gasket which is on the inside of the USB-cap.

    after finish installing an update, the the status light keeps blinking and a picture of the connection between the micro USB and iTunes shows up - what is this about?

    The update failed - using a USB to microUSB lead (that Apple annoyingly don't include!), try to restore the AppleTV software to current version software using instructions here:

    Pay attention to differences in power connection depending on whether or not you have AppleTV2 or AppleTV 3.

  • My BlackBerry PlayBook won't charge when connected to the computer via the micro-USB to USB cable

    Can anybody help me? I don't know why but lately, when I try to plug my BlackBerry PlayBook into my Windows 7 laptop using the micro-USB to USB cable, it connects to my computer without any problems but it won't charge. Instead, I get a notification in the top left corner saying "Unable to charge battery with connected sorce". I have four USB ports and I'm positive that they work just fine because I plugged in some of the USBs I own into each of those four ports and they recognized the USBs without any issues. Does anybody know how I can resolve this issue? Thanks.

    The notification is by design and was added to clarify that USB charging is not to be relied upon as a main method of charging. Instead RIM's good intention has caused confusion.
    USB (by design) can not provide the amount of power the device needs while it's being used. Technically, it is still trickle charging but the screen has to be off (and I'd turn off Wi-Fi too) since they are high power draining items.  I have verified that the PlayBook does indeed still charge but it takes much, much longer than plugging it into a wall charger or rapid charger. In a crunch it will work but the computer has to be on the entire time. A full charge would take many hours.

  • I had put apple tv to update and later noticed that it is requesting for connecting the micro USB plus the white light blinking

    I had put apple tv to update and later noticed that it is requesting for connecting the micro USB plus the white light blinking

    Yeah.
    #FAIL #FAIL #FAIL
    Since our preemie woke me at 04:00 this morning and I had nothing better to do--I let the ATV3 connected to our "main viewer" 'update'.
    Got a screen showing what at first bleery-eyed glance looks like a HDMI-to-iPod/iPhone/Ipad cable wanting iTunes.
    Fast blinking white indicator light.
    Pretty much BRICKED.
    I shall attempt the USB-mircoUSB after another cup of coffee.
    Really GLAD I did not update the two ATV2s.
    UPSIDE: discovered that one can make the same content play on ALL ATVs simultaneously from iTunes on the main machine...

  • HT3180 I turned on my apple tv and there before me on the screen was a picture of the apple tv with the micro usb and power lead in with the usb side pointing to the blue itunes logo! I think its telling me that it needs some kind of update ! help

    I have tried reseting it through itunes ! But it does not recognise the apple tv and the itunes hasnt got any apple tv tabs? help

    It is telling you to restore by connecting to iTunes. Did you follow the steps exactly?
    Unplug all cables, then connect micro usb. Make sure to connect directly to the computer and not a leyboard port or USB hub.

  • Is the Micro usb to Lightning cable comming to the U.S.?

    I see that the UK can order a Micro USB adaptor but not in the US yet. Is this adaptor coming? http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MD820ZM/A/lightning-to-micro-usb-adapter

    The supplied cable is 1 meter. Slightly more than 3 ft. You can also order an Apple 2 meter cable. But most of us use a light extension cord. It's less expensive and they can be purchased almost anywhere.

  • I need to reset my apple tv due it not working following system update. I cannot reset onscreen, so need to factory reset via iTunes. However, upon plugging into iTunes with the micro usb cable, iTunes is not picking it up. Any ideas pleas??

    All that happens is the light on the front of the apple tv flashes rapidly. Itunes is not recognising the apple tv being plugged in, so I cannot attempt the factory reset. Help!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Have you made sure that you have removed all the cables other than the USB cable when connecting with Apple TV to iTunes. Also make sure that you have connected the Apple TV to a powered USB port.

  • HT1600 at the end of a recent apple tv update, a picture appeared suggesting a connection using a micro usb connection to i believe Itunes. the apple tv did not come with a micro usb connection. What to do.

    At the end of a recent apple tv update, a picture appeared showing a connection - micro usb  - to apple itunes. I don't have this micro connection. I now can't watch apple tv. what is going on?

    Many newer cameras have the Micro USB cable you can use.
    Otherwise, you will need to buy one to restore your Apple TV.

  • Are the new Sony camcorders with a micro USB multi-terminal LANC compatible? (the ones under $800)

    I've noticed that one of the Sony recommended accessories for some of the new camcorders on their website include the Sony wired remote with a zoom rocker. However it isn't specified if this connection is actually LANC compatible and, if so, could an adapter be used to convert from the micro USB connection type to 3.5mm standard LANC controller connection?

    Hi VideoGeek,
    To check the compatible camcorders with this adapter,
    pls see this link: VMC-AVM1 A/V R Adapter Cable
    And just below the image of the product, click the "Compatibility" tab,
    It will display the compatible camcorders.
