Longer iPhone Cable (USB Extension)

Okay, so I want a longer iPhone cable. I have the 2 meter lightning cable, but I would like to have a longer cable, six feet just isn't doing it. Before I go out (or online) to by one, I have a question about which one would be the better investment. Could I just keep my 2 meter iPhone cable and the get a USB extension cable? I just want to have it plugged into my sound system (carrying the music throught the USB cable) so I can listen to music. Will I still be able to do this if I use an USB extension? If not, do I have to buy a longer iPhone cable? (If I do, is there a certain one that you recomend? I'm looking for something longer than 10 feet).
Thanks!

usb is spc'd to max 5 meters between powered hubs
there is also a limitation of how many powered hubs one can pass

  • Does apple sell a longer charging cable for the iphone?

    Anyone know if apple has a longer usb cable charger for the iphone for sale? Cause the one that comes with the phone is just to short need it to be longer!

    Probably Best Buy, Radio Shack, Circuit City,etc.

  • USB extension cord not recognizing keyboard

    I bought a USB extension cord to connect my keyboard to my iMac. I plug it in and nothing. I test it on a ipod and no problem. Where am I not understanding?

    How long is the USB extension cable?
    Since you noticed this problem, have you shut down (powered off completely) your iMac, and then restarted?
    I assume you tried connecting the keyboard directly to the iMac's port AFTER noting that the USB extension cable connection is not working. And it worked when connected directly AFTER trying it with the extension cable.

  • Even genuine iphone 5 usb charging cable does not work for an year?

    I have bought an iphone 5 last year. With it, came the  original apple genuine iphone 5 lightning USB cable. It did not last for half year. I had to buy another original apple iphone 5 similar cable and it was gone within 3 months. I dont understand is it cable manufacturing problem? is apply selling fake cables? It is really annoying and I am really angry that such a reputed company cant give/ provide proper long lasting cables.
    My experience with these two genuine cables was that after some months of  usage, i used to observe even if its plugged it would not charge, or if you push it hard its charging. Firstly, I never keep my phone charging all time. Then how the hack can the charging cable die? or problem arise. I bought the phone and the charging cables when I was germany. I had to buy a 20 euro local companys USB charging cable after above two stopped working with no signs of damage. I have also tried cleaning the charging jack or socket where cable is inserted. It did not help. This local charging cable started to torn out automatically and it got fully damaged, Now I am in India, I bought another cable of 10 euros and it is just two days, it would not charge again.
    I am really furious now whether you use original or local USB cables they dont last for even a week? what the ****?
    Do I need to really pay for those portable charger with a big price tag, that my problem will be solved? very very upset. I never have any complaint with the phone, but the charging catastrophies, really ****** me off. I think of going back to other mobile brands like samsung or nokia where there is never a charging issue or battery drainage issue once you charge its goes for days or it  is also expensive buy a nokia or samsung charger if lose it or break it. but for iphones its really bugging situation and not just me many people around the world are having sick problem with iphone brand with charging ISSUES.
    APPLE PLEASE SORT THE PROBLEM OR SELL the PORTABLE IPHONE CHARGERS (WIRELESS) CHEAPER so that we dont have to use these silly little lightning cables. or I fear my APPLE I PHONE 5 is not genuine or its FAKE.
    PLEASE HELP>

    Look closely at the way you handle the cables. I have never had any cable, Apple or third-party, fail on me.

  • Can USB extension cable from nano burn out tower's USB port?

    I recently plugged my 1GB nano into my Mac flatscreen's USB port and got a message that this port was too slow. I used it anyway but it did take a looong time to charge the nano. Normally I use the two ports in the screen to park a couple of dongles and since that port is slow for iPod purposes , I decided to buy an unpowered USB hub, 1 to 4 variety to run from the tower.
    My G4 is in a closet with a not-so-accessible port on the back so I have a 6 foot extender cable coming from the tower which connects to the hub and from there I plug in my camera and keyboard - but so far not the nano. The guy at the store where I got the hub told me that an iPod nano recieving power from this settup might burn out the USB port in the back of my G4. So I haven't tested that! Anyone know if this is true or if it's just uniformed blather from a drugstore computer sales tech?

    The "too slow" message you received has nothing to do with how long it takes to charge the Nano, it is telling you it will take longer to sync the Nano. If the port on the screen charged your Nano it didn't take any longer than any other port will.
    A USB extension cable will not burn out the USB port on your computer.

  • Longer charger cable for IPhone 4.

    Does anybody have any suggestions where a longer charger cable than the 3ft that come with the phone (6-10 ft charger would be good) could be purchased?

    I use a USB extension cable  - they come in many lengths and are available at electronics stores and online - for example - http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10303#1030304

  • Can I use iphone 4s USB cable to recharge for the new ipad

    Can I use iphone 4s USB cable to recharge for the new ipad

    The iPod, iPad & iPhone cables are identical, however, the chargers are not.
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • USB extension cables not reading

    I have a desktop and the ipod cable is too short to reach the usb in area without it being on the ground and i want to be able to have it on the desk but the cable was to short so i tried a usb extension cable but the comuter wouldn't read it or charge it. i've tried with 5 diferent size and brand cables.

    Sometimes USB extension cable do not work. You can Google for long iPod sync cable and fine many places that sell long cables. For example here is a six footer.

  • Does the Aluminum Mid-2007 Intel-based iMac include a USB extension cable?

    Hello everyone,
    I live in Canada, and my Aluminum (Mid-2007) 20" iMac did not include a USB extension cable for the keyboard. I have read on the forums that other members' Aluminum iMacs did not come with it either. I also read someone from Japan who said his iMac came with the cable, but I am not sure if he had an Aluminum or White iMac. I know that the standalone new keyboards do come with the USB extension cable. I would like to know if your Aluminum (Mid-2007) iMacs came with this accessory. Please let me know if it did or did not. Thank you for your help, and I await your reply.
    Cya!
    \m/ Mage \m/
    P.S. I bought my iMac the same day Leopard launched, and then I received it in the first half of November.

    Hi Bob and mrtotes,
    Thank you very much for your helpful replies. I apologize that I have been away for a couple of days--I have been very busy with final assignments, so I did not get to reply to you until now.
    I do find the cable a little short after I slide my keyboard tray under, but all I have to do is turn Mighty Mouse around before then. Other than that, Mighty Mouse's built-in cable is long enough when I am interacting with my iMac.
    It makes sense that only the Mac Pro would need the USB extension cable more than the portables and iMacs would. I don't know why I did not think of that before--I guess that's why we we're here when we're not sure! And of course the Mac Mini does not come with input devices unless you ask because the whole point of the Mac Mini is BYODKM (bring your own display, keyboard, and mouse).
    Thanks again for your help with answering my questions--I really appreciate it.
    Cya!

    That sign indicates that your iPhone is recovery mode. You need to connect it to your computer and then restore it using the iTunes on your computer.

  • Is there any differences between a iPod nano 1st gen usb cable and a iPhone 3G  usb cable? thanks

    Is there any differences between a iPod nano 1st gen usb cable and a iPhone 3G  usb cable? thanks

    Yes you have a one year warranty from the date of purchase from Apple. Go to this link and on the bottom right hand side it will ask you to enter your serial number and will tell you if you are still under warranty. http://www.apple.com/support/
    If you are you can take it to a Apple store, or request service online here http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
    If it is out of warranty you can google a third party service provider and get it serviced out of warranty. There are two that I know of that provide free diagnostic service. You only pay for shipping and they will tell you what is wrong and what it will cost to fix. They are ifixipodsfast.com and ipodmods.com but there are others also (I just have no experience with them) Good luck and as was stated it should charge from your usb. and just for grins, look at the docking connector on your ipod and see if there is any obstruction that is obvious.
