Lightning USB cable order question

I ordered 3 of the Lightning to USB cables from Apple.  It originally said 2-3 weeks and if I look up the order, it still says that, but it also says it is Preparing for Shipment.  Does that mean it will actually come much sooner or do they mark all such backorders as Preparing for Shipment?  In case I find these cables locally, I'd like to cancel the order, but it now says I cannot (although I could still return them if needed).

I suspect that they will, but the only way to find out for sure is to contact them. Use the correct phone number on this page. Alternatively carry the phone and cable in to an Apple retail store or service provider.
Note that the Apple accessories for the iPhone fall under the same warranty as the phone itself.
Best of luck.

  • Lightning USB Cable not working

    My lightning USB cable stopped working today. I tried to plug it in and it didn't charge my phone so I unplugged it and saw that one of the sides of the iPhone hookup looks kind of burned abs chipped off. I would post a picture but I'm not sure how.
    I just bought this iPhone 5 2 weeks ago, so I'm a little disappointed. Do you think apple will supply me with a new one?

  • TS1538 New Lightning-USB cable solved problem

    Got this problem with provided Lightning-USB cable. Occured on 2 different laptops running Windows 7.
    Received a new cable from iStore which reliably worked on the same configurations.
    Old cable sometimes worked when removing both ends and plugging in again.
    Or when using the described trick of taking a new picture and removing the cable.
    Old cable seems to work reliably on an older PC running Windows XP.
    Not very convenient, so i am glad that the new cable works reliably.

    I think it comes with a one year warranty.

  • USB Cable Length Question

    I would like to use a USB cable to connect my computer to my wife's laser printer that is 16 feet away. The USB cable will be connected to a powered hub. Will a USB cable work at this distance? I have not seen one this long in stores but will search for one on the internet if 4 members think it will work. I would be using USB 1.1.

    Sorry for making this more complicated, but I just took out my tape measure to measure the actual distance of usb cable I'll need.
    Just to get to the switchbox I'll need an almost 13 foot usb cable (really like 12 and 1/2 feet). So I'm assuming I'll need a 15 foot usb cable to get to the switchbox. At that point, any short cable attached from the switchbox to the printer will still exceed the 15 foot limit since I'm assuming one must add the length of the longer cable [15 ft] and smaller cable from switchbox [say 2 or 3 ft].
    The solution I'm thinking of that might work is to get a powered switchbox. Wouldn't a powered switchbox then revitalize the usb signal and even allow another cable [up to 15 feet] to be attached even though I'll only need a much shorter cable to get from the switchbox to the printer. I don't think the switchbox you linked me to is powered. If you, or others, think a powered switchbox would then allow more cable then please say so and if you can link me to a powered switchbox.
    In my thinking, a powered switchbox is much like adding a powered usb hub to the end of a 15 foot cable and then would allow one to go another 15 feet. Theoretically thinking, with many powered hubs or powered switchboxes one could really take the cable out an extremely long distance (if not infinity) - ?

  • Lightning USB cable (new) is already not working

    Can I get it replaced if I have AppleCare?

    You don't need AppleCare to get a cable replaced, especially if it's new. Take it back to the Apple Store and it will be replaced under the 12 month limited warranty.

  • What is the exact technical difference between "Lightning to USB Camera Adapter" and "Lightning to USB Cable"

    Mainly I am interested in attaching the iPhone to a receiver (or car etc.) to play music.
    Both the "Lightning to USB Cable" and the "Lightning to USB Camera Adapter" seem to do the trick. So what is the exact technical difference between the two items?
    When connected to a receiver, is the iPhone the USB Master in both cases? Is the USB "Audio Device Class" standard used to transmit audio?

    Thanks for all the answers! I think I should specify the use case much more clearly. Sorry for not having done this earlier.
    Use Case 1:
    When I connect the iPhone to the receiver I can use the Lightning to USB, because the receiver has a female type A, just like e.g. a PC or like the charger. So I would agree that the Receiver must be the USB host, and the iPhone the USB device. This works just fine in my case, with iPhone and iPad.
    In this case, the audio goes from the device to the host, or "Audio-in".
    Use Case 2:
    A friend of mine has a small device that converts USB to Toslink. This thing has a female Mini USB Type A, which is typically used at the receiving side of a USB connection. This device can be connected e.g. to a Mac, and then the Mac can output audio via this device to receiver which accepts optical Toslink signals.
    In this case, the audio goes from the host to the device, or "Audio-out".
    It is this use case 2 that I am unsure about:
    a) Can the Lightning to USB cable be used in this case (assuming that I find the necessary non-standard adapters to actually connect the USB ports)? This would mean that the iPhone can act as a USB host with the Lightning to USB cable.
    b) I know that the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter does convert the iPad into an USB host, otherwise it could not read data from a camera. So could this adapter also be used to produce "Audio out" to a USB device that supports receiving music?
    If yes, would this also work with an iPhone (as pointed out in another answer, the iPhone does nor support reading pictures from a camera)?

  • Incase Dual Car USB Charger with Lightning to USB Cable

    Hi,
    I just buy this item and it seems that the item is not working...
    What can i do?
    Incase Dual Car USB Charger with Lightning to USB Cable           
    $39.95

    jddj,
    If the charger uses the firewire pins (even though it uses a USB cable) to charge in the car it won't charge the iPhone 3G.
    The iPhone 3G supports charging and syncing over USB only, the original iPhone supported charging over firewire in addition.
    Hope this helps,

    Axel,
    I'm afraid a new SSD won't be different from your bad USB stick. I had similar issues over USB with both a (no-brand) stick and TWO 64gb Kingston SSDNow's (running Kubuntu 12.04 with Kernel 3.11, ia_64): it all runs exceptionally well (wanna know how it feels like booting in 5 sec?) for a few days - then suddenly you find yourself facing that dreaded (initramfs) prompt. You ask yourself: why? Did I upgrade grub lately? Did I upgrade the Kernel? I don't recall so. Ok, let's fix this... insert favorite live cd, boot, fsck...what???? THOUSANDS of errors??? Hundreds of files and directories corrupted, and the system is unusable - Reinstall everything from scratch onto another drive.
    Rinse and repeat: did this 3 times. Then I found this analysis:
    http://lkcl.net/reports/ssd_analysis.html
    I also suspect USB power interrupts more abruptly than SATA power, at shutdown - basically aggravating any power interruption damages. So now I'm going to:
    - buy an Intel S3500!
    - add commit=1 to my mount options in /etc/fstab
    - edit shutdown procedure to add a 5-10 sec pause after unmounting drives.
    Just my two cents.

    You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
    Or you can follow these Recovery Mode Instructions
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.

  • HT1665 Recently read on a deal site forum page that you can only use Apple lightning cables to charge iPads running iOS 7 or higher. Is that the case or will any 8-pin to USB cable work? Thx in advance for any helpful replies.

    Recently read on a deal site forum page that you can only use Apple lightning cables to charge iPad Air or iPad Mini Retina running iOS 7 or higher. Is that the case or will any 8-pin to USB cable work? Thx in advance for any helpful replies.

    Due to a lot of bad press that Apple was getting due to burnt chargers, shocked users (the electrical kind...), etc., due to the lousy third party El Cheapo brand generics, as of iOS 7 the cable must be Apple-certified before the iGadget deigns to use it for charging purposes. Unfortunately (for Apple) the old traditional USB to 30-pin cable is just that, a straight piece of wire, and can't be validated by the iGadget. But lo & behold, the new gear uses the new Lightning cable, which contains an embedded chip that CAN be validated and lousy imitations disabled from use.

  • My Lightning to USB Cables can not work

    Hi,
    I brought an Ipad Air about 2 weeks ago. And today only to find the Lightning to USB Cables can not work. Can I get help from you？

    I can't help you, but if your cables don't work, you can visit your local Apple Store, and they'll likely give you free replacements. (That happened with my iPad Mini.)

  • IPhone USB cable question...

    Can someone please confirm what passes thru with the original iPhone USB cable that it comes with:
    I know it pass DATA and CHARGE, however i need to know if it also sends AUDIO thru.
    I am about to purchase a new car stereo, a pioneer unit, and i went to a local retailer to try out. i plugged in my iphone with the original cable to the radio, and the radio detected- ipod, started playing my playlist, but since the DEMO unit didn't have the audio hooked up, i couldnt confirm that all was good.
    pioneer suggests their proprietary cable for ipod/iphone, and it looks just like the original cable.
    thanks for any response.

    I have similar problem, new iPhone 4 standard cable connect to usb port in my car, nothing works. Same phone and cable in my sons car, everything ok all working fine.... Hyundai say it's the phone logic say it's the car!

  • IPod Touch question about  Firewire and USB cable

    I just bought a USB 2.0 extension cable on ebay to charge my 64 GB iPod Touch. I also bought a USB wall socket that I was going to plug the extension cord in to (I haven't received the wall socket yet). Come to find out when testing the extension cord on my laptop I get the message " charging is not supported with this accessory". I thought that was the case only with firewire cables. But this is supposed to be USB 2.0 What's the deal? Can a firewire cable look like a regular USB cable? And does anyone have a work around that I can use?

    I realized yesterday that I had another USB wall jack which I use at work to charge my IPT. I took it home with me plugged it into the wall and tried to charge the IPT without the USB extension cord, and it worked fine. When I connected the USB extension cord, I got the same message, "Charging is not supported with this accessory." I'm so frustrated. Mainly because I don't understand what is causing this issue and therefore don't know how to remedy it. I would buy another extension cord, but I don't know if that one will work either.
    Here is the link to the USB extension cord that I purchased on ebay:

  • USB cable question

    Is there a difference between USB cables between different ipod versions?

    Noto to my knowledge.  I was using the same cable with my 1G nano, my 5G nano, and my original Touch. I don;t own any Classic iPods, though, so cannot speak to older versions of those or the minis.
