Micro USB adapter?

I'd like to get a longer USB-Lightning cable than the one that came with my iPhone 5, which I think is the one that Apple sells. They also sell a "Lightning to Micro USB Adapter," but I'm not sure exactly what Micro USB is.
I have quite a few cables that have a standard USB at one end and a smaller USB connecter at the other end. These cables have generally come with external disk drives.
Would someone know if that is the same as the Apple Lightning to Micro USB Adapter?
Thank you.

USB cables come in normal USB plugs( into hub PC etc )
at the other end you get a mini plug
OR the latest which is micro plug
You probably have the mini plug cable whereas the Apple product
is a lightning plug and at other end a Micro socket
This is to allow Apple to meet the world wide adoption of the micro cable
as the charging medium for ALL mobile phones along with USB power source
To reduce the multiplicity of chargers shipped worldwide every day
"ultimately "
Look on amazon for the cables and the pictures will immediately make sense
of the difference
so yes an Apple adapter and USB micro cable would give you a longer cable

  • Re: Acer Aspire Switch 10 - Proprietary Charging Port to micro-USB adapter

    I have a high power power bank capable of charging via both usb and 19v. Included were adapter cables that fit many devices that don't charge via usb. However none fit an acer switch 12.Any ideas?

    Radio Shack, if you can still find one, has adapter tips that fit. Make sure your 19V supply is putting out the appropriate wattage, though I expect if it's designed to power a laptop it'll have plenty.

  • I'm using a micro sd card inside USB adapter but it won't mount on my Macbook Air 2012

    Hi everyone,
    Really puzzled at the moment because I just purchased a Kingston 64GB Class 10 Micro SD card and it came with a USB adapter to plug into my mac. The problem is that it won't mount, I just get a pop up saying "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." I open up Disk Utilty and I get the following info:
    Mount Point : Not mounted
    Partition Type : Windows_FAT_32
    Capacity : 67.11 GB (67,107,815,424 Bytes)
    Everything else is blank. Does anyone know what Windows_FAT_32 is and how I can get my Micro SD card to work on my Mac? Also note that when I plug it into a Windows PC, it loads up fine and my Macbook Air is also running OSX Yosemite Dev Preview 6. Thanks and any help is greatly appreciated

    Yes, you will not be signed in to update iCloud content, until you update your Apple ID on both devices.  On the iPhone you will need to go into your settings>iCloud then tap your iCloud ID to sign out then sign in with your new Apple ID, on the Macbook you need to go into your system preferences then tap iClould sign out then sign in with your new Apple ID.

  • Micro USB to HDMI adapter support on Encore 2 WT8-B-102

    I would like to know, if there is any chance to connect this tablet to TV/Monitor through the micro usb port by attaching a micro usb to HDMI adapter? If yes, is there any specific adapter being compatible with this Tablet device?
    Thanks for the support
    Alex

    First of all it’s not possible to use USB port (micro USB) in order to output the video signal. The USB port does not support such functionality.
    According to the tablet's specification page the WT8-B does not support video out interface (HDMI etc..) and therefore it's not possible to connect it directly to the TV device.

  • Micro usb to lightning adapter works in IOS7??

    There are plenty of discussion flowing around saying that IOS7 doesn't support 3rd party cable.
    However, I have couple of devices that uses micro USB cables and I am thinking about getting the micro usb to lightning adapter (official apple one).
    Does anyone know if the micro usb to lightning adapter (official apple one) works with iphone5s with IOS7 on ANY micro usb cable?
    Thanks in advance!

    I saw the reviews saying it works (they guy bought it in Dec 2013), however, I confirmed that mine APPLE-branded micro USB to lightning adapter doesn't work after I replaced my iphone5 with iphone5s (build-in iOS7). I bought it from apple store on Nov 2012. Going to check with apple store.

  • Micro USB Bluetooth Adapter

    Does anyone know if I can use a micro-usb bluetooth adapter on the Apple TV (2nd Gen) to pair bluetooth devices?
    Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-K33902US-Bluetooth-Micro-Adapter/dp/B000YA1XU2
    Or is this unlikely to work?

  • AT300se...​can I connect to TV via the micro USB port?

    Hi, I was wondering if I can connect to my TV using the micro USB port on the AT300SE model tablet. This version does not ahve the micro HMDi port so i was wondering if I could use an adapter to conenct to my TV via the micro USB? Thanks, Nikos
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Looking at the specs, this tablet does not have HDMI.  So I see no way you can connect it to your TV.  Some of the newer TV's may be able so share your network to play files that are on your tablet.

  • Does anyone know if the new ipad air has a usb port. This is the only downside to the ipad to me? My samsung galaxy tab has 2. 1 being a micro usb. Great for connecting to the tv.     Thanks, greenlady5.

    Does anyone know if the new ipad sir, not yet available will have a usb port? This is the only thing that is prevented me from purchasing so far. Doesn't make sense when you can connect to tv.

    The standard external connection and charge port on all recently-announced (October 2014) models in the US is the Lightning connector, introduced with the iPad 4 in Sept 2012. http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/12/apples-new-lightning-connector-what-it-does-and -doesnt-change/
    This includes iPad Air, iPad Air 2, iPad mini, iPad mini 2 with Retina display and iPad mini 3.
    https://www.apple.com/ipad/compare/
    NOTE: The original iPad (2010), iPad 2 (2011), iPad 3 (early 2012) came with a 30-pin connector, also common to original iPhones and iPods.
    Additional adapters are available to connect TV's, cameras, SD memory cards, and similar devices, from many sources, including the Apple Store online. (Adapters are still available for the older iDevices using the 30-pin connector as well)
