Keyboard Cord too short

The USB connection cord on my keyboard is too short to connect to the back of the iMac from the underside of the desk. I suppose I could get a wireless keyboard, but it seems wasteful not to use the keyboard that came with the computer if the only problem is a short cord. Is there such a thing as a USB extension cord?
(This would also solve the problem of using a wired mouse on the right side of my iBook G4 which has it's USB ports on the left side. It has no Bluetooth built in and I keep knocking out the little Bluetooth stick that goes in a USB port.)
Thanks!

A shopping follow up in case anyone else with the same problem reads this thread:
I had trouble finding a USB extension cord at Office Depot, Staples, and Radio Shack. They have them but not with the right connections at the ends. Be sure you look for one that says A/A , A to A , or A Male to A Female. What the stores here stock were almost all A/B which is what you want to connect a camera or a printer to a USB port on a computer. One salesman sold me an A/B and a separate B/A adapter, but the keyboard didn't like that, no response. I ended up ordering the right cable from an online company -- Cables to Go -- for much less $$ than any of the cables at a retail store.

Is LED display video cord too short to use with Mac Pro?

I've seen the new 24-in cinema display used with a macbook and noted how short the cord is. Now I'm thinking of getting the new Mac Pro with that same display but won't the cord be too short for me to set the tower near the floor on the side of my desk? I don't want to have to set that tower ON my desktop just so the connector will reach the minidisplay port.
Any thoughts?

I have exactly this set up, and it (just) works for me.
The cable is about 42" from the back of the monitor to the three connectors at the other end, which allows me to have the Mac Pro on the floor, and the monitor on my desk. Obviously, it will depend on your desk height, cable access, etc., but it was a bit of tight fit, so you might want to get out a tape measure and see it will work for you.

Charge cord too short for Lumia 900.

The charge cord for the Lumia 900 should be a little longer. Even with the plugin right off the side of my bed the charge cord is not long enough for me to be able to read off of my Lumia 900 without needing to unplug my phone from the charger. (To read news articles the phone has to be in the portrait orientation with the Windows home button at the bottom. My Samsung Focus charge cord length was long enough.

Thanks Kosh and Android for the replies.
Basically the usb charge cord supplied by Nokia for my Lumia 900 is not long enough to be able to charge and use the phone at the same time. (My battery usually doesn't last a full day.) Nokia supplies a short cord compared to other manufacturers. I believe the charge cord supplied should be longer to equal what other brands supply.
I would buy a longer usb charge cord but Nokia does not offer one and I am concerned I may not find a good quality one and it may wear out the usb port on my phone prematurely. Plus I will be upgrading my phone soon.

Power cord too short

Does anyone have a solution for how short and clumsy the power cord is?

Short? Are you using just this part of the power cord:
If you are, you can expand it by removing the two prong part there (it slides out) and putting in the three-prong cable that came with the computer. This thread explains it all.

Mighty mouse cord too short..?

On the iBook g4 the usb ports are both on the left side, but i am right handed, and the mighty mouse's cable is very short making it hard to use...Anyone else find this or have any suggestions?
Thanks

An extension cable would more than likely work, especially since the mouse operates at 1.5 Mbit/sec. A mini hub with separate or captive cable would theoretically work better as an extension since you're not directly transmitting across two different (full and mini sized) cable configurations and a connector. You could also relocate a bunch of your devices to the right side as long as all your stuff plugged in uses less than 500 mA.
If you live near a Fry's Electronics, they often have cheap (sub $4) USB mini hubs on sale. There's also no reason why a full-spec USB cable or extension should cost more than $1. They're made by the boatload in China for 20 cents each, and I've bought them in bulk at online retailers for $1 each.

/usr/lib/libXext.so.6 File too short

Hi, Im trying to get xorg running.
I'm running Arch on Vbox as guest.
I don't know exactly what I did to get this error, I was following the Arch wiki and was in the part of installing hal, dbus, xfree-input-keyboard and mouse.
Now I'm getting an error that wasn't before. I type "startx" and I get:

Help

Hi thanks, that did it.
Unfortunately now "startx" throws another new error that wasn't before. "Startx" would bring up a black screen I couldn't get out from before, I guess it was working, kinda.
This is the error now:
>dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vboxvideo_drv.so : undefined symbol: resVga Shared
> (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vboxvideo_drv.so
> (EE) Failed to load module "vboxvideo" (loader failed, 7)
> (EE) module ABI major version (4) doesn´t match the server´s version (7)
>Fatal server error:
>no screens found
So I tried just in case:
"pacman -Qo vboxvideo_drv.so". The file didn't belong to any package.
"pacman -Sf virtualbox-additions". All ok the package was reinstalled.
But that didn't solve the problem. I also did "shutdown -rF now"
Same problem still.

Aux cable for Mini Cooper too short for Iphone.

Just purchased a Mini Cooper and the AUX cord that connects the Iphone to the Bluetooth is too short to reach my vehicial mount. I need a longer cord or an extention. Anyone have any ideas?

You said it was an aux cable. nothing you said indicated it was proprietary in any way. If it is not an aux cable, but a dock cable, those are usually proprietary to the auto manufacturer. If they don't have anything, try e-bay, but beware the cheap chinese junk out there.

Apple Mini DVI to DVI Adapter - Too short?

I want to connect my iMac 2.8 ghz, 24" screen to an external Philips 190B LCD monitor and use the Extended Desktop function.
The Philips Monitor model is the 190B6CG/00 and it is a single link monitor (Philips tell me it is DVI-D Receptacle Connector 24 pin = single link).
I'm looking at the Apple Mini DVI to DVI adapter here on the Apple Store. It looks like it should plug into my iMac one end then the other end into my Philips. However it looks like it is too short to reach my Philips Monitor. They are not a fantastic distance apart. In fact they are sat side by side - but I somehow can't see the Apple Adapter being long enough (unless it crosses a 3-sphere).
Presumably then, some sort of extension is required between the DVI end of the Apple adapter and the Philips Monitor's DVI input.
Does anyone know what this extension could be and where is may be purchased?
Regards

Hello to everyone who has replied to my cry for help.
Thank you all. I will apply points to everyone who has responded (so quickly too).
Scorpie
I totally agree. I have been thinking along these lines too. However, searching on the internet whilst researching, I found it difficult to decide what I needed because of the 'photos' supplied. They were ok as such but most didn't show very well the pin outs. Further research into the matter (and one website in particular - i.e. Maplin) made me realise that GENDER was involved. Also, with DVI, females look like males in web photos until you find a photo from the right angle. Same goes for VGA I reckon.
I'm certain most people looking at DVI (and VGA) cable/connectors can't tell the difference when the devices are only viewed from 'above' . In my opinion they need to be viewed more or less end-on to show where they have pins or holes. I mean full end-on, not at an angle where (as I found above) detail as to pin or hole is lost in digital or compression noise. This is what I have experienced in all but one of the web sites I have visited. Another thing, most websites have an 'enlarged version' button which, if selected, shows the same photo exactly the same size. No help whatsoever. But then there's no doubt you must already be well aware of this.
MyHighway
You are correct. The Philips did come with a VGA cable. However I want to connect to my iMac digitally (if I can) using DVI (it looks like a 'female' connector on inspection of the back of the Monitor). I have found it almost impossible to tell the difference from most photos on the web even with my new huge screen iMac. One of the reasons I'm am a little nonplussed I think.
mrtotes
Good point. If I take a photo of the back of my Philips and take the Apple connector down to Maplin perhaps I can compare and contrast with real specimens. Yo!!
I think I will give that a go.
You have all been very helpful indeed. Opened my eyes somewhat.
I wish a Merry Christmas to all my new Mac friends

DVI to VGA adapter. Too short?

Hello.
Please do not blame me for being ignorant, I recently had to do a project and in order to connect to the screen, I need to use a DVI to VGA adapter, which is provided when I bought my MBP.
But then, isnt it too short? How do I connect it then? Must I buy a extension? Do help me as my project is due next friday and I must present next friday. Thank you.

Allan Jones wrote:
The sequence would be:
Mac > Adaptor > VGA cable > Monitor or projector
Right - except when actually hooking them up, they should be connected in the reverse of that sequence; the projector should be on and seeking an input, the cable and adapter should be connected, and the final step is to connect the adapter to the MBP.

DVI to VGA adapter Isn't it too short

I bought a MB Pro and I wanted to use the DVI to VGA adapter but it's too short, is there a longer one or is this it?

Maybe http://www.microcenter.com/singleproduct_results.phtml?productid=0201448 if you need a male-to-female. In other words, that product should work if the port on the TV has pins sticking out. If it has holes that pins should be stuck into, then http://www.microcenter.com/singleproduct_results.phtml?productid=0201735 is a male-to-male. Make sure you double check the photos against your adapter and your TV before you buy. Also try your local electronics or computer store.
dapeter2: Thanks for your clarification.

I have got a Activation Lock on my iPhone and I need to get it activated. I don't know what Apple ID I was using with my iPhone. It shows as U***@h******.uk which is too short to be my email address. I have reset all my Apple ID passwords and none are activating my iPhone. I have also been into the apple store and they have tried to find out the Apple ID my iPhone was using but this was not successful. The serial number of my iPhone is: C32JN641DTWF

You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

Error "602" System error: AK Datapart too short

Hi all,
Ok, I have looked just about everywhere for an answer to this but to no avail...I even tried under a few rocks we have laying around.
Anyway here it is:
While running a compression in BW we get Error "602" System error: AK Datapart too short.
This is happening while doing a select statement during the compression of the infocube. It does not happen all the time, just kind like when ever it feels like. The only note I could find in OSS was one about Live Cache and it does not seem to apply.
Here is the dump which I really hate doing this, but it gives all the info needed :
untime Error          DBIF_DSQL2_SQL_ERROR
Except.                CX_SY_NATIVE_SQL_ERROR

ShrtText
An SQL error occurred when executing Native SQL.
What happened?
Error "-602" occurred in the current database connection "DEFAULT".
What can you do?
Print out the error message (using the "Print" function)
and make a note of the actions and input that caused the
error.
To resolve the problem, contact your SAP system administrator.
You can use transaction ST22 (ABAP Dump Analysis) to view and administer
termination messages, especially those beyond their normal deletion

is especially useful if you want to keep a particular message.

Vendor email-address in SUS too short

Hello guys,
following problem:
When I send the PO from MM to SUS (SRM 5.0 on Server 5.5)
the email adress of the vendor is cut in the middle in SUS.
The Idoc of the ECC is fine, it seems that the problem
could be found in the Mapping of the XI or in SUS.
Is the field in SUS too short?
What can I do?
Hoping for answers,
Barbara

Hi Barbara,
Did you search OSS?
This certainly sounds like something wrong in the SAP standard.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans
