Longer Dock Connector

Any one know if you can get a longer dock connector to USB cable to charge iPhone?

Tanya:
You can get USB extensions, do a Google search, there are lots, here's an example:

I recently bought one at Target.

  • My dock connector no longer supplies an audio out

    My dock connector no longer supplies audio out when connecting it to a docking station. I am able to charge my I-pod just fine. The I-pod works on the docking stations but no sound comes out. I spoke with I-pod support and they suggested posting a question if anyone knows lists of companies that can repair i-pods other that Apple. Apple charges a minnium if $250. I need to find a less expensive way to fix this problem. Can anyone help me?

    Has nobody got any suggestions on what may be causing this problem. From searches I have made I see I am not the only one with the same burning issue.

  • How can I get dock connector to turn off on air play. There is no longer a choice for sound to be displayed on iPad. I do not own outside speakers. Have already reset. Thanks

    How can I get dock connector to turn off on air play. There is no longer a choice for sound to be displayed on iPad. I do not own outside speakers. Have already reset. Thanks

    Slow, intermittent.  Sometimes bootable sometime not. Odd behavior.
    Sounds to me like a classic case of your HD failing.
    Your SMART status may still show verified, with no errors on the Apple Hardware Test, Disk Utility shows no problems on Disk Repair-  this is of no help.
    I trust you have a good back-up and a bootable clone.

  • IPod (15 GB dock connector) 2003-04 how long it is supposed to run?

    iPod (15 GB dock connector) 2003-04 touch wheel 15 GB
    Can't seem to find any specs on how long it is supposed to run.
    Perhaps using the iPod in cold weather makes it drain faster?
    Tried repairing this iPod by using Disk Mode.
    I've been running the iPod indoors for over one hour now and it is at 75% charged. Still think that there is a problem in that when I turn the iPod off and place it in hold mode, when I slide the hold mode back off the iPod is fully booted up, which means that it never really turned off. At best it runs one hour outdoors in the cold. My question, how long it is supposed to run.?

    It's really hard to say how long a five or six year old battery should run. However, using any Li-Ion battery in the cold will adversely affect playing time. Remember also, that as the battery ages, its capacity decreases. If this is the original battery, I'd say you've gotten your money's worth.
    You may get an answer about your iPod's original playing time if you post your query in the forum for older iPods Here

  • How do you get sound through the dock connector to a PC or Mac?

    Where I work they have blocked the Pandora website. (Along with just about every other online radio site.) They don't mind if we listen to music, as long as it's not streamed online through their network.
    I have both a PC & a Mac on my desk.
    What I would like to do is listen to my Pandora app from my iPhone by plugging the dock connector into a Mac or PC. This would keep the battery drain to a minimum & allow for better quality.
    When I plug in the dock connector the phone starts charging & iTunes want's to sync. I can run the Pandora app, but no sound comes through the computer.
    Does anyone know how to get the audio to come from the dock connector & play through the computers sound card?

    You have several choices:
    1. Composite AV Cable: has a dock connector on one end and USB, RCA line out and RCA composite video on the other. It also comes with an AC Adaptor.
    2. Component AV Cable: same as the Composite AV Cable but with RCA component video.
    3. Universal Dock: has a dock connector socket on it and a line out socket.
    4. iPhone 3G Dock or the (original iPhone Dock): same as the Universal Dock but designed just for the iPhone.
    All you need is somewhere to plug the line out into.

  • IPod with dock connector is not getting charged with car charger and iTrip

    My iPod from 2003 with dock connector is not getting charged in my car by using the griffin iTrip with USB car charger. iTrip works, but not the charger. Maybe there´s not enough power output from the car charger? Only 5.0V with 400mA are coming out. iPod needs more? 12V with 1.0A?
    Does somebody have information about that problem for me?

    Has Apple dropped support for older model iPods?
    Nope. Support is still there, even back to the original 1G iPod with the wheel that actually turns. I have a 3G iPod, and it syncs just fine. There have not been any software updates for years, but the old software still works fine with the latest iTunes.
    You have to use FireWire, which you seem to be doing.
    Try putting it into Disk Mode first, then connect it.

    Does the iPod currently play music as it should?
    Do you have another docking cable (FireWire) that you can try? FireWire connectors often get worn and they no longer work, although the power connection can continue to work.
    Did you try the other FireWire port in the iMac?

  • Cannot get sound to come through my iPad it keeps coming up airplay dock connector and I can't switch it off ?, Cannot get sound to come through my iPad it keeps coming up airplay dock connector and I can't switch it off ?

    The sound on my iPad sound doesn't always work, it will work without headphones for less than 3 minutes when I'm playing music but will work for longer when I'm not. It will work for an hour maybe with head phones in but then stop, in which time I have to take them out and put them back in to get the sound to work again. When the sound isn't working airplay says the sound is coming out of a dock connector, and the option, 'iPad' goes.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other problem

  • Connecting audio & power through dock connector in car?

    I currently connect my nano directly to my car stereo through the dock connector. I know they have car chargers that connect to the dock connector. My question is this: Is there is any kind of dock that will run the audio through the connector and also allow connection to a charger at the same time?

    OK here is one I ran across that might work for you. It has RCA jacks for the audio output, so you could plug them into the RCA Aux jacks on the back of many head units.
    If you have a 1/8 phono jack on the front of the head unit, then you would need to convert the RCA jacks back to 1/8 phono with an adapter cable or slice it up and wire in your own phono plug. Is that how your unit is? A 1/8" headphone type plug on the front of the unit?

  • Can I connect iPod (with dock connector) with just a USB connector?

    My mother-in-law gave my daughter her old iPod (with dock connector). It was supposed to come with an adapter that converts the 6-pin firewire cable to a USB cable (you are supposed to plug the 6-pin into the dock connector to charge it, then use the adapter to connect to your computer). We never got The adapter, so I just used USB connector from my own iPod nano to connect the old iPod into the computer. All kinds of error messages. I've now restored the iPod and it seems to be working, but I'm afraid to plug it back in using just the USB cable. Is it possible to connect the USB cable directly from the iPod to the computer without the adapter? Or could the problem be that I have also use my iPod nano on this computer? Thanks for any help you can provide.

    A 15GB iPod would have to be a 3rd gen iPod.  It has a touch (not click) wheel with four touch buttons in a row that glow orange during use, correct?  That model needs to be connected using FireWire, because it cannot charge over USB. 
    If your new Mac has a Thunderbolt port, you can get an adapter for FireWire
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD464ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-to-firewire-adapte r
    plus an adapter for FireWire 800 to FireWire 400
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/FIR1369AD/
    Another way, if you have the square white FireWire power adapter that came with your iPod, is to get a special docking cable that Apple used to sell a long time ago.  It has both USB and FireWire connectors.  Here's a listing for a third-party version on eBay
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Vanco-iPod-Dock-Connector-to-1-USB-1-FireWire-Cable-/2 71074766489?pt=US_MP3_Player_Chargers_Cradles&hash=item3f1d50ae99
    (Search on "FireWire USB iPod docking cable" to see other listings.)
    What you do with this thing is plug the USB connector to your Mac's USB port, the FireWire connector to the FireWire power adapter, and the dock connector to the iPod.  iPod can then sync over USB while getting power over FireWire.
    I would go with that special cable, to avoid using a series of adapters (which adds complexity and unreliability) and tying up the valuable Thunderbolt port for just your iPod.

  • Cover for Dock Connector

    I just received a new Nano. Is there supposed to be some kind of cover for the dock connector? My previous Ipod had a plastic cover that fit into the dock connector. Thanks for any information.
    Mike

    Apple haven't included the little white piece that clipped into the dock connector (to prevent the ingress of dirt etc when the iPod is not in use) for a long while now.
    The white universal dock adaptor included with iPods now is not the same thing.

  • Loose Dock Connector

    I'm not sure where else to post this. I think I saw a post about this but I can't find it again...
    I bought my iPhone a few weeks ago but I've been having a hard time with the dock connector. I think it wiggles too much as I have issues syncing with iTunes (device has been lost/not found, sync interrupted, etc), along with charging and using the component out cable.
    I will plug in my iPhone at night and listen to a podcast then randomly, the screen with light up and the connected/charging noise will be made. The screen will fade and go on it's way. Some mornings I wake up to a nearly dead iPhone that is still plugged in. With the Component AV Cable, I have to lay the iPhone flat on a surface and hold up or prop up the cable a few inches back for it to send signal out.
    My question I suppose: have others had this issue and when Apple ultimately replaces my phone, how long will it take to get it back?
    Thanks so much!

    It is a problem with the connector on the iPhone or the cable?
    Either way, the average turn around runs about 3-5 business days. If you have an Apple store close by, set up an appointment online and have them look at the phone to determine if they need to repair the phone or the cable.

  • Using the iPod docking connectors

    I bought myself an iPod with color display a little while ago, and yet it only came with one connection to a USB port on either the power supply or the computer. I bought an earlier iPod a long time go and we ended up having to get a new connecting cable for it to hook up to my computer.
    Here is the question...
    Is it possible to use an older iPod's dock connection with an iPod with Color Display? I only want to use the old one to connect it to my computer to update the songs and playlists I have, and yet I'm afraid it will kill my iPod or my computer.
    I just don't like having to disconnect my iPod and reconnect every time I want to switch from power to computer update, and I don't want to spend my money on a new connecting cable.

    Use can use any cable that has the dock connector. The connector is the same.

  • Will one day "ipod with dock connector" be able to be charged by USB cable?

    Hi,
    this question has just popped into my mind
    a moment ago. it might be very useful if
    one day they'll grant us to be able to do that.
    but if this request seemed to be too far
    from hardware capability, i'd stop thinking
    about it.
    could anyone give me a clue? any support teams?
    Thanks,
    p/s hope i'd called my ipod right, it's the
    one with four buttons outside the wheel, and
    it is not a clickwheel one. "ipod with dock
    connector" right? :] thank you again

    Hi Kenekeu
    I just wanted to chime in and bump this thread. Although I've posted here several times about this exact problem, with no solution found yet, and no response from Apple. I tried rebooting into windows (via bootcamp) and reformatting my ipod from there. However when I downloaded the older version of the ipod updater, i was told that it was expired and a newer version was available (sigh). So I now have a windows formatted ipod that still won't connect via firewire.
    I am still able to mount and transfer songs via USB in mac OSX. Luckily I had one of those dual usb/firewire cables, which plugs into the plug charger via firewire, and into the computer via USB at the same time, so my ipod doesn't lose charge.
    Hopefully there'll be a fix soon, because this is really frustrating. I've had this ipod for a couple years, and was always proud that it lasted this long... and now this.

  • All audio works out of dock connector with Apple a/v cable, except for ipod audio.  I get no ipod audio.  Any ideas?

    I have an iPhone 3gS (iOS 4.3.3) and an Apple AV cable.  This arrangement has worked in the past.  Now, I get NO iPod audio out of the dock connector/AV cable.  All other audio (movies/YouTube/etc.) works fine with the Apple AV cable...but, I get NO iPod audio. 
    Can anyone help me out with this issue?

    I have tried videos from iTunes and my own conversions.
    I managed to test my cables using a friends 30GB iPod and it worked just fine. I looked really good and I'm really looking forward to getting mine working.
    It is definitely my iPod. Both the Apple AV Cable and the cheaper, longer Belkin AV iPod cable work fine with other iPods.
    I will try firmware version 1.1.2 when I get home but I don't have high hopes. I will post the results for the silent masses yearning for an answer to the same problem.
    Any tips on how to smoothly navigate Apple tech support and get my iPod fixed?
