Lightning port too tight - is that normal?

I'm satisfied with my iPad Air, but I've noticed one thing that bothers me - a lot. When I insert the lightning connector, it seems way too tight. I have to jam it in much harder than with the iPad Mini.
This is a new unit. Should I demand a replacement? Am I doing something wrong?

Both pieces of advice make sense.
However, my iPad Mini and iPad 4 use the Lightning connector easily; the iPad Air almost needs a wrench. I'm still in the first days of ownership, and I can only imagine how many connectors I'll damage over time. I'll demand an exchange - or, if possible, a fix.

IPad 4 keyboard case with Lightning port? (NOT micro-USB)

Hello,
I have an iPad 4th gen and looking to buy a keyboard case for it.
All the cases I've seen so far use micro-USB for charging. I'm trying to actively reduce the number of cables on my desk so I'm looking for a case that has a Lightning port for charging, so that the same USB/Lightning cable I use to charge my iPad can also charge the case.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Considering the cases available are generally produced by third parties its very unlikely you would find one that charges with an Apple charging cord. Usually they use some type of micro USB

My Iphone 5 home button keeps pressing itself but stops if put pressure on the bottom of the screen on each side of the home button, i have noticed that there is a screw missing on the right side of the lightning port could this be the issue?

If you are still under warranty, contact Apple to get it serviced. You can also visit an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider to get it looked at.

My iPhone 5 only charges with my lightning port cable and only on one side. I've tried buying a new cable but that doesn't work.

Since there's no one side on a lightning cable, make an appointment with genius bar for an evaluation.

DRAM wound too tight??????? Neo 865PE Board Advice needed

RapidShare Account-ID: 14334524

First - My computer is normally rock solid with no problems.
I turned my computer on today and it would not even boot to the BIOS.
It was if there was no power going into it but then it started to boot for about 1 second
then died. I tried again and the same thing kept happening.
I opened it up, checked the Main Board, reseated the graphics card and power cables.
This time it booted but before the bios kicked in it gave the following message:
'DRAM is wound too tight'.
I have not changed anything in the BIOS as I would not know what to change but
it then booted to the BIOS and under the power settings it says the following:
Dynamic Over Clocking = Private
Performance Mode = Slow
CPU Ratio Selection = Locked
DRAM Frequency = Auto
Spread Spectrum = Disabled
Adjust CPU Bus Clock(mhz) = 200
DDR Clock (mhz) = 333
Adjust AGP/PCI Clock (mhz) = 66.66/33.33
CPU VCORE Adjust = No
DDR Power Voltage = 2.50v
?GP Power Voltage = 1.50v
If anyone can make any suggestions I would be most appreciative as I cannot
afford to loose my computer or any data that is on it.
I'm worried that the Main Board maybe failing or maybe the RAM or PSU?
In case it matters this is what is in my system.
MSI Neo 865PE Board
AMIBIOS V3.31a
2 matched pairs of Kingston HyperX RAM KHX2700K2/1G
Intel P4 3Ghz CPU
Intel ICH5R SSATA
Port 1 = Crucial Solid State Drive (Main OS Drive)
Port 2 = Lite-On SATA CD-RW
IDE Port 1 = 300GB Samsung HD
Promise SATA
Port 1 = WD Caviar Green 1.5TB HD
Port 2 = WD Raptor 150GB HD
IDE Port = Sony CD-RW
Power Supply = Q-Tec 550 Watt Dual Fan Gold
USB Mouse/Keyboard
All housed in a 19" Rack Mount Server case.
Thanks in advance.

thanks for the replys everyone.
I take it then that my problem is the PSU?
I am shocked that you rate the Q-Tec one so badly, it is the one that was supplied
with my computer and has worked with out a problem for about 3 years or so now.
I cant take a chance with it so its going in the bin.
Having done some checking I have located a trusted stockest who has
Corsair VX 550W ATX Power Supply (CMPSU-550VXUK) [CMPSU-550VXUK]
or
Corsair TX 650W ATX SLi Compliant Power Supply (CMPSU-650TXUK) [CMPSU-650TXUK]
for just ubder £80 in the UK.
Are either of these any good and is one better for me than the other considering what
main board I have. Also the new CPU has got to fit in my computer case so its physical size must match the old one.
I am not a modder so this is all a bit alien to me so any tips or hints much appreciated.
Thanks again
Kenny

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
- If a 5G iPod
Iphone 5 lightning port charging problem - SOLUTION!
- 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.

and
try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

New DM1-4010 E-450 - USB slots on right side too tight

Just got a new DM1-4010 E-450. Loving it so far but the usb ports on the right side are super tight. I tried plugging in my wireless mouse receiver and it just wouldn't go in (didn't force it). The left side slot fits fine. When I look inside the socket, the wafers on the right are visibly a bit thicker than the other side. I didn't try any other usb peripherals so I don't know if they will be any better. My only thought was that maybe there is a thickness difference between powered and non powered sockets but I don't ever remember having this problem before. Any info would be helpful.
Thanks

I just received my DM1 and have the exact same problem - ports on the right are too tight, the one on the left is fine. Did you find any solution?

I see "Enrollment Settings" under device groups but it doesn't seem to do anything. Is that normal?

Hello, first time poster.
I'm new to most things apple aside from basic use of ipads and iphones. I was put in charge of the ipads for my school district and after some research and effort, I've gotten a mac server (on mavericks) up and running.
I have setup an MDM, gotten the token, gotten the VPP, etc...
Everything is working as it seems to be working. But...
In Device groups, under settings for a device group I see "Enrollment Settings" with things like "prompt user to enroll device" and "Supervise (IOS only)". So I added a device to a new group, reset the device in question and nothing. The settings appeared to do nothing. Is that normal or am I missing something?

Which version of Server.app? 3.1.2?
Verifty local DNS services. Invalid DNS causes other OS X Server components to have issues. You'll need DNS on your local network somewhere, whether that's served by OS X Server, or another DNS server doesn't matter.
Launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities and issue the following harmless, diagnostic command:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
That'll require an administrative password for the sudo, might generate a one-time message about the use of sudo, and will then display some configuration information and then an indication that no changes are required, or that there are network or DNS issues. If you're not in .local or .arpa, that'll usually give you a good view of your local network configuration.
The device has to be enrolled with Profile Manager server. How you do that depends on how you want to manage your devices. There are various overviews of how this stuff works too, if you're getting started: here is one video.

12 hours to render? is that normal?

I have a G5 dual 2.7GHZ machine with 8GB of RAM. 250GB internal drive with 140GB available space, 500GB external Lacie drive with 300GB available space. and I keep all my project files on the external drive when I work on any project.
So, I recently finished an edit that was 28 minutes, 30 seconds. it was an infomercial, so it had a lower third overlay during the entire edit, a few transitions, but mostly cuts, and a few filters on some shots, nothing too intense. I rendered the sequence which took a few hours, not sure.
then I exported to compressor for DVD, and chose the 90 minute option with one pass- faster encode. 4 hours have elapsed, and I have 8 hours to go.
is that normal?
I've been using FCP5 for the first time on a new G5 for a few months now, and all the projects that I've rendered out for DVD so far, I just exported and walked away, and usually came in the next day and it was done, so I never really monitored rendering time until now. I upgraded from a G4 500MHZ single processor using Premiere 6.5, and my render times were not nearly that long. I was thinking that with a G5 that was nearly 8 times as fast, my render time would be much shorter, only it got longer. I love FCP5 much more than Premiere, and OSX is great, but render times are just insane.
again, from the info that I provided, should my render times be that long, or am I doing something wrong?
thanks for any insight anyone can give.

checked my settings, and I had it set to normal.
while I had that window open, I clicked on the Render Control Tab, and noticed that under Render & Playback, all three options were checked- Filters, Frame Blending For Speed, and Motion Blur. could this be a reason? and if I unchecked say Filters, would that mean, it would render the sequence without any filters I had applied?
one other problem I have been having just this week with this particular project is that FCP seems to be running really slow. other programs run normal, so I'm pretty sure its an issue specific to FCP. for example, just now when I had the sequence settings window open, and I was click on the tabs, from video processing to render control, there was a hesitation before it would display the tab. Its like driving on flat tires or something. and at this time, I have no other program open except Safari, so its not like I"m taxing my resources. what could cause FCP to bog down?
thanks for your help.

1 Lightning port as both 2nd monitor AND storage SSD? - 21" 2011 iMac

Hello!
I am considering picking up my first SSD drive for use as a work horse for streaming video and audio for my prosumer use. My 21" 2011 iMac only has the one lightning port, which I plug my old 19" LCD monitor into for the extra screen real estate. Not wanting to bottleneck the SSD speed by connecting it to USB 2 or even FireWire, does such a throughput device exist that would allow the one lightning port to support both my 19" display as well as a mounted, external SSD drive? I know that the lightning port had an expandable future, but I'm not sure if this is possible. If it IS possible, I would imagine doing so would still be expensive. Thanks a bunch!

Haha, THUNDERBOLT! Sorry, mate. I must have been thinking of the newer iPad/iPhone connector. Goes to show you how much mind I've paid to apples new port. Anyway, that's great news. Thank you. I was pessimistic about their being enough bandwidth to fully support my 2nd monitor in addition to the top notch speeds of an SSD. I was curious to know where there might be any sacrifices one way or another.

Our new AppleTv is really slow... even when the movies were downloaded to the computer, which we accessed from the Apple Tv it took an hour to load a 45 minute video! Is that normal?

Our new Apple Tv seems to be way too slow to be normal. We had tv shows from the Apple Store saved to our computer, and when we played them through Apple Tv, we found out that it would take more or less an hour to load! It was only a 45 minute show, and admittedly it was HD, but I still find this ridiculous. Is this normal, or can I fix the problem? Please help!

NO its not normal. Apple tv is so key on internet connection. How far away is your router? Hardwire is obviously the best, but with me for example, my apple tv is a room over from my router. Really close with no other devices being used at the time. It can be a number of factors. I run a macbook, xbox, ipad, and apple tv off my router with no problems. I have a good router, good location(router), and not all running at the same time sucking bandwith. Check this out:

Lightning port adapter for midi?

What midi interface device do I use with the lightning connector? I just purchased the IPAD Retina display to connect to my midi keyboard and all force me to use a female USB connector to connect to midi interfaces that use the old IPAD2 connectors. is there a direct connect to lightning port? thx Hotllama

Cable Win Technology has them. Can't help you with the other questions.

My iPhone gets really hot everytime I put it to charge. Is that normal or should I take it to apple so they can change it for a new one ?

Ok so my iPhone gets really hot every time I put my phone to charge is that normal or should I take it to apple so they can replace the phone for a new one ?

Really hot, as in too hot to touch? Have you tried a reset, or a restore on the device. You need to do those things before you take it to Apple for evaluation. It is Apple's decision if it should be replaced.

IPhone 5 bricked by mysteriously clogged lightning port

Last month, my 2.5 year-old iPhone 5's lightning port suddenly did not allow a lightning connector to plug in completely.
Of course, this prevents one from charging the phone, so I ran to the Apple Store expecting them to take out whatever was in the port.
The associates at the store said that unfortunately, whatever was in there must have melted from the high temperature that is present in there when the phone is charging, and there was not way to repair it. I ended up spending $300 for a replacement iPhone 5.
Has anyone else had such an experience?
I am extremely hesitant to purchase anything with a lightning connector in the future, since it mysteriously became physically non-functional under regular use.

This is the case... unless I understand what happened... thus this post.
I have many devices with mini-USB connectors... none have ever clogged up.
I have 3 pre-lightning port iPhones... none have ever clogged up.
I have had half a dozen or so iPods...none have ever clogged up.
I have one device with a lightning port. It mysteriously clogged up beyond repair.

IPod nano 7th Generation broken lightning port

I noticed that my lightning port on my iPod nano 7g is not making a good connection when I try to charge it. As I wiggle the connection, the lightning bolt charging icon will flicker on and off. The connection is apparently loose. Does anyone know of a DIY fix on YouTube, etc, or repair service other than the $75 Apple one?
