Longer USB cable & Headphones with boom microphone

Using iPhone 3G
Question 1) the USB cord supplied to run from electrical adapter to the phone is too short. Does the electrical adapter work with any standard USB 2.0 cable, so I could buy a longer cable anywhere? I don't see a longer cable offered by Apple.
Question 2) I would like a serious headphone for business use. That means a combination headphone with a boom microphone (hopefully with a noise cancelling mic). I don't see any from apple. Does anybody know of one that works well? Standard ones do not work since that are not set up for the stereo jack on the iPhone 3G. I have seen some adapters (go from iPhone jack to standard used by telephone head sets) but they have not gotten good reviews.
Thanks
Bob

I absolutely agree that a longer cable is necessary because my front USB port is low down at the bottom of my computer, which itself is located a few inches above the floor. So, yes, to see the Micro while I'm downloading or checking to see if it's docked, does require me to bend down near the floor to see what's going on. I have resorted to using my USB camera cable, which is long and conveniently located on my desk!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 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.

Will regular USB cables work with my macbook pro?

There could be a number of reasons I am having problems, but I have a Line 6 UNX interface that is compatible with Macs. The software is installed but the mac doesn't seem to recognize the device via the USB port. Will the USB cable from the Line 6 device work or will i need to purchase a firewire cable?

Googling "Line 6 UNX" produces no hits, so I have no clue what sort of device you're talking about. To the best of my knowledge, "regular USB cables" are the only USB cables in existence, so if you have such a cable that's known to be in working condition and your device is also in working order, it should be detected by the MBP. Have you tested another USB device (e.g. a flash drive or printer) in the same port on the computer, to make sure the port is active? If it isn't active, try resetting the SMC to bring it back to life:

If the device also has a FireWire port available and you have a FireWire cable, you can certainly try connecting it via FireWire and see what happens. That may be an effective short-term workaround if you have one or more bad USB ports on your computer, but you will certainly want to remedy that situation before long.

USB Cable problem with HP Photosmart 7960 printer

This may sound like a stupid question but I just bought a new 7960 printer to replace my old 7960 which has two out of the three ink cartridge holders broken and the usb port on the new printer won't accept a usb cable. It appears to be blocked by a cap insert over the connector prongs which will not come out. Any suggestions?

Here is a link with some troubleshooting steps that may help to solve the issue you are having with your printer:

Paper feed problems are a hardware issue, if none of these steps help I would recommend contacting HP for upgrade options. I have included a link with directions for contacting HP:

How can I plug in my headphones with a microphone built-in to my macbook pro?

I have some new headphones with a built in mic that I want to use to record commentary and also hear out of for making youtube videos. The headphones plug has 3 rings on it, I'm pretty sure this means 4 conductive sections, 2 for each speaker, 1 for the mic, and 1 for the play/pause button on the mic. these are not apple headphones, they are sony. I dont really know how to split the headphones into both my microphone and headphones jack on my laptop. Can someone please help me out? Thanks.

Easy, go to the preferences (or properties) in iTunes. Go to the advanced tab and check the Prevent iPods.... from syncing automatically.

Is a DKE-2 USB cable compatible with HP Pavillion ...

I tried to connect my Nokia 5300 using the DKE-2 USB cable but it just won't connect to my PC. I've tried checking it on My Computer but it doesn't show up on devices with removable storage. I just want to know if it is compatible with HP Pavillion.

@lilac:
when you connect the phone to the pc, keep your eye on the phone.
On my 5300 the message is: "USB cable conncected, Select mode". Press Ok to acknowledge the message, and you are moved to a menu where you can choose
- "Nokia mode" (= PC Suite compatible)
- "Printing and media" (dunno myself what this is for... RTFM)
- "Data Storage" (= Mass storage device, like an external hard disk)
You should go with "Nokia mode" if you want PC Suite to recognize the phone.
You should go with "Data Storage" if you just want to see the phone's memory card as a disk, and move files to/from as if it were a disk.

IPhone 3 inches long USB cable

Is anyone aware of a 3 to 6 inches USB cable for the iPhone? I need it for charging the phone while in the glove compartment of my car and most cables ate 3 ft long. I saw some retractable units online but reviews are bad in general.
Thanks!

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
No, the iPod and the Mac have different operating systems; iOS and OS X respectively. The apps must be developed for the Specific OS. When the same app is for both platforms, they are actually two different apps and if you want both, then you have to buy both separately from their respective app stores.

My ipod touch 4g's microphone isn't working. When I facetime the other person can't hear me. If I put headphones with a microphone on it then it works. Help?

Help? It doesn't seem to be working.

does it work with voice memos? If it only doesnt work with FaceTime then you should press the lower left button and maybe that will work...

Headphones with microphones, your buying advise.

I need to but 25 pairs of headphones with a microphone attached for a school music room.
The budget is £20 a headset, and they will be using them for garageband, I know £20 doesn't buy the best but there must be something good for that price.
I would like to hear other users advice and recommendations. on things to look out for and any good products.
I would prefer to have a 3mm jack, instead of having a converter from big to small, as they get damaged quite easily.
many thanks in advance

Are these headphones & microphones for G5 iMacs? Your post does not make this clear.
If not, then you will do much better re-posting over in one of the GarageBand Forums and/or cross post in the Forum(s) of whichever mac model(s) you have in your music room.
PS Have you checked out the online & your local Apple Store? You need to check out the Teachers Discount (Education).

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!

Type "USB extension Cable" into Google and you can choose from many places.
Probably Best Buy, Radio Shack, Circuit City,etc.
