Is there a difference between the Lightning to USB included with an iPhone 5 and the one sold separately?

I recently purchased 2 iPhone 5's and two Lightning to USB cables in addition to the ones that came with the phones. We tried to use the first L to USB with the power adapter and it wouldn't work. Then today I tried to use the second L to USB in my macbook pro and it came up with the USB too much power error, so I tried to use it with the power adapter and it wouldn't charge. So I got the L to USB that came in the phone box and it works with my laptop and the power adapter? It just seems weird that 2 out of 2 cables wouldn't work.
Items used:
MacBook Pro 17" Mid 2010
iPhone 5 (2 different ones)
Lightning to USB Cable (sold separate) (2 different ones)
Lightning to USB Cable (included in phone box)
iMac
5V USB Power adapter (2 different ones)

You need a pair of good cables, period. When I got my i5 and seeing what a battery hog it is, immediately got a second Lightning cable from an Apple Dealer. Both that and the one in the box have worked flawlessly.
So yeah, you've got excellent arguments for demanding a good working set. The fact that one gives the dread "too much power" issue is indicative of an internal short or damage.

What are the differences between the Apple 64GB iPad Air with Retina Display and the Apple 64 iPad with Retina Display MD512LL/A 4th Generation

what are the differences between the Apple 64GB iPad Air with Retina Display and the Apple 64 iPad with Retina Display MD512LL/A 4th Generation ?

The iPad with retina display only comes in the 16GB version and it has the A6 processor which is a step down from the Air model. Having said that, I stream movies on my iPad 3 with retina and it has the A5 processor and the movies stream just fine as does everything else that I do on the internet.
If 16GB is enough storage for you, the $100 savings compared to an iPad Air model is a fair amount of money and that might sway me if I was just worried about saving some money. However, that's not my style. I always go for the largest capacity that I can afford and the faster processor if I have the choice.
Having said that, if it were me, I would select the 32 GB iPad Air. But in spite of the information that you provided in which you want to base your decision, only you can be the judge of what will be best for you, and remember that you cannot add storage capacity to the decide later. You can purchase external WiFi drives if you need the storage, but to me, that takes away from having the really small footprint and portability of only having to carry the iPad around gives you.

Can I use the lightning to USB cord with any USB/AC adapter?

Just got a new IPhone 5. Can I use the lightning to USB cord with the AC adapter I had for my IPhone 4 (or any other USB to AC adapter)?

Yes I just check and the one for my MacBook fits my 12 Watt iPad charger.

I have an iPhone and iPad. I would like to get my husband an iPhone. Are we able to sync all devices and share info with both iPhones and the iPad, using a single email address?

Thanks for that. He is one of the last holdouts in IT so an email address for him would just mean I have 2 to check so that is what I am trying to avoid as we move into retirement:)

Hi i have i problem with my iphone and the problem is the security question i have forgot the answers
I understand German and Italian i littlebit English

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

How do I get the old Apple ID off of my iPhone and the new one installed?

I got a MacBook Pro and decided to create a new Apple ID different from the one I previously had. How do I get the old Apple ID off my iPhone and the new one installed?

When I tried this, my music stayed the same whereas my new iTunes has only about half the music it used to. How can I get all the music to clear out so that it can sync my new music to it. Simply connecting it to the MacBook Pro and pressing Sync has not worked.

Is there a 'to do list' app which will work with my iphone and on my mac??

Hi It's all in the title.
I have an app called 'Done', but I also want to use it on my mac and then sync it to my iphone and I can't find the mac version of the program (prob cos it doesn't exist).
Any ideas?
Thanks

Things and OmniFocus both have desktop/phone clients. (not cheap options)
Appigo's ToDo I think will sync with Remember the Milk, and there may be a desktop client that will also sync with RtM. I think Appigo may also sync with to-dos in iCal.
Zenbe Lists also has a phone/web client.
Try googling "sync to do iphone" or somesuch, and it will cover your options. As Michael said, nothing is built in by Apple, which means they are all annoying compromises that require setup.
Me, I'm waiting on The Hit List's iPhone client and hoping it does MobileMe sync.

Is there a difference between "Spotlight" & the "Search" field?

Hi,
In Lion, is there a difference between searching for a file using SPOTLIGHT . . . or the SEARCH field in the upper left of a folder (if you click your Hard drive.)?
For example, I have a MacBook Pro with a 2nd hard drive inside. If I don't "Spotlight" the 2nd hard drive - will the SEARCH field then still work? Or if I DO SPOTLIGHT it - is it using the same search mechanism using "Find" and "Spotlight"?
I'm curious how this works? Thanks very much,
Larry

Using COMMAND-F or Finder's search field provides a window like this:
If you click on the Kind dropdown menu you will see:
You can select different search criteria for locating files. If you then select Other you will see:
You can then check the different search attributes you wish to add to the previously shown dropdown menu thus providing many different search criteria.

Is there major differences between ms 5.0 vs 7.0 version?

Hi all,
Is there major differences between microsoft bpc 5.0 version with 7.0 version.
Can anyone pls let me know the technical aspects like and the functional aspects of differences too?
Thanks
Pooja

From a technical point of view, the version 7.0 support SQL Server 2008.
From a performance point of view, you will have better result with BPC 7.0 + SQL Server 2008 than BPC 5.1 + SQL Server 2005.
Sincerely,

Is there a difference between mono & stereo when recording with single mic?

When creating an audio track to record vocals through a single condenser mic, is there a difference between selecting mono or stereo? if so, what's the difference?

Assuming your source is mono, there will be no sonic difference, and recording to a stereo Logic track will simply waste disk space. If you have a stereo microphone (i.e. it's actually a pair of mics packaged together), then it makes sense to record in stereo. If you're using a standard single microphone, record to a mono Logic track.

I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for?

I downloaded Mavericks and it won't install. I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for? I never had an administrator password-- I just hit enter and have never had a problem before with previous installations. I'm on an iMac, from 2007, running Mt. Lion (version 10.8.5). I've been looking for other's posts who may be having the same problem, but haven't found any. Can anyone help?

Ugh. The 'no password, no work' thing is a recent Apple development. I ran into it on my system and ended up having to do a clean install on a partition I fully erased.
I suppose, if you have the ability to, go online and look up how to burn a bootable DVD image. Download the 10.8.4 image then use the Disk Utility to make a boot image of it. You'll need a dual-layer DVD or a USB drive (or memory stick at least 8GB) If you've got an optical drive, burn the disk, if you've a USB device, use that.
Then get a pocket drive and copy your important files off the system or let Time Machine do a full backup.
When the backup is done, insert the disk and hold down the C key until the machine boots off of the DVD. At the point you get to the start window, go to the menu and choose the Disk Utility.
In the Disk Utility, reformat the drive. You go to the actual DRIVE (not the Macintosh HD, but the root above it that is the actual hard drive device)
I always do this and *partition* it into several volumes, the benefit being, you can store all of your music, documents and importans stuff on that secondary storage volume you make - it will have it's own index and then the first volume is where you put the OS and it will have it's own index as well. That way, if the OS throws a wobbler and you need to reinstall, you don't lose your data.
Depending on the size of your hard drive, it is good to give your OS partition at least 60GB and optimally 100GB, and the rest for storage.
Name your volumes, use the little box sliders to manually size them or put that number in the size window, select for the format, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and hit Apply and then the Disk Utility will quickly create your new partitions.
Once finished, quit the Utility and it will return you to the OS installer. Select the volume you want to install to and it should start up and install.
Once the installation is done, you'll get the new machine startup then you MUST put in a password for the computer. Once you're in, and to the desktop, don't bother with any Mountain Lion updates, go right to the App Store and get the Mavericks update and let it install the app to your Applicaitons folder, then do that install.
On a side note, there MAY be a way to make a disk image from the Mavericks application and avoid the entire Mountain Lion step.. I honestly do not know, but a bit of hitting the search engines may find out if there is. I think that if you looked for "make Mavericks boot disk or boot image' you may find something.
Good luck!

Is there a difference between the Ethernet WAN port and the other 3 Ethernet Ports on a Time Capsule?

As posted previously, my time capsule will not set up properly because I get an IP address conflict pop up window. Is there a difference between the "Ethernet WAN Port" and the other three ports on the back of the Time Capsule? I may have the DSL modem hooked into the "Ethernet WAN Port". Thanks.

it depends what you want to achieve and what configuration you have on your DSL modem/router.
Resetting TC and run connection wizard from the Airport utility.
Post the problems.

Is there any difference between the 2 different USB cords when syncing???

I know this may be a paranoid question to ask but I just wanted to make sure.
Is there any difference between the newer USB cords with the shorter plug (the end that goes into the iPhone) and the older ones with the bigger, square-shaped plugs that you can pinch on the sides to retract?
Is there a difference in transfer speed, syncing speed, or reliability, or build quality?
Just asking cuz the newer USB cord that came with my iPhone 3GS is getting frayed and so I'm using the older one instead.
Thanks to whoever helps.

No difference except, as you noted, you have to squeeze the older one to remove it. It's important that you do that so you don't damage it or the iPod.

Is there any difference between the digital connection cables?

Is there any difference between digital connection cables that connect to the back of a computer? I've seen some with two groups of nine pins and a blade. I've seen some with a solid group of 27 pins. I've seen the blade pin and the four pin. I currently run one that has two groups of nine pins with a blade pin. I use it for DVI and it does ok. I wanted to look into the HDMI cable and see how or if things would be different. I bought a cable that has the 27 pin connector with a blade. It physically connects but there is no signal. I checked the monitor and I set it first to HDMI and then tried AUTO. It made no difference. I powered it all down and restarted it all and there was no difference. Do I need to keep looking for a cable that has the same design connection to the PC but has the HDMI connection on the other end. I may have this info wrong. I just know I have two large connections at the time but the last cable I tried had one large connector and one that looked like an advanced USB design. And then is there really any gain between the two as far as video quality or response?

There are several type of connectors/cables with different effect.
VGA
DVI
HDMI
To understand more, I would say please look it up.
Wish you luck,
Karthik
