Micro usb to usb to ppt controler

has anyone tried to connect a usb ppt controler to switch slides yet?
i just ordered a micro usb to usb adapter, but will have to wait for it to be shipped to me.
would be great if this would allow for connecting video and then the also using a handheld usb controler with laser and slide switcher!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

that software still requires not one pc/device, but two.
if uou have ever done seminars, then walking aroind carrying this pb to controll the ppt on a pc is not eeally friendly. not that it is a bad suggestion, nust doesnt fit what the challenge was on this thrwad....which is to be able to have you pb be the terminal and still be able to use a standard ppt controller for presenting.

Have a macbook pro running osx lion, connected a kindle fire using micro usb to transfer pictures and the disk icon won't show up on the desktop. When I ran disk utilities the kindle does show up there. Any thoughts as to why it's not recognizing?

Precisely why it's not an iPad, and why it doesn't cost very much. An Apple rep would tell you how to connect an iPad to every computer.

ATV2 Not showing in iTunes, and bricked, showing micro usb and iTunes logos

Hey all,
I was given an ATV2 for christmas a few weeks early, purchased new from Big W (Australia). I happily plugged it in on the 14th or 15th December (I can't quite remember, but I did find out later itunes match went live to a bunch of countries that day, which is why my itunes account crashed). I plugged it in, with the HDMI cable I purchased from australian apple store online, and the power cable. I connected happily to my home network, and started scrolling through the features. I came to a point in setup where it asked for my itunes ID and password. I entered these and it told me it couldn't recognise the apple ID or password.
I tried again, same. I checked my mac to see if it was iTunes or the ATV2 that had a problem... tried to log in, and it said the same error msg. Same on my iPhone and iPad. So I knew itunes was down, and later found out it crashed internationally for some people as itunes match went live.
Unfortunately for me, as I got that first error msg, I aborted trying to set up. I then had a pop up on the ATV2 asking me to update the software (I run the latest software on my mac, ipod, ipad, and have latest itunes by the way), I can't remember which version it had, but it asked me to update, and not knowing the login issue was accross platforms, I tried to log in again and update, hoping it was more a software issue. It seemed to begin updating then pop up with the same itunes error that it couldn't recognise the apple ID or password. At this point the device suddenly showed the micro USB to itunes logo and it became apparent it wanted me to plug into itunes for some R&R. Of course I didn't have a micro usb cable, and had to wait a week or so to get one since I live in the country with no tech shops around. It arrived and I tested it on my itrip as a charging cable. It charges my iphone nicely while plugged into the griffin itrip. So the cable works. I plugged the ATV2 into my imac (latest OSX 10.7.2 and latest itunes 10.5.2) and it doesn't come up in itunes at all. I tried a different USB port in the back of the computer as opposed to the keyboard. No luck. I tried plugging in the power cord as well, no luck. I tried a reset via ATV2 remote holiding the menu and down buttons until the LED light flashes super super fast (as opposed to its current fast flashing). No luck.
How do I get this thing to show up in itunes? Or how can I manually reboot it if it won't show? I live nowhere near a genius bar or even the shop where my family member purchased it, and they probably lost the reciept by now anyway so I doubt I could exchange.
Very dissapointed in Apple for not including HDMI cord or micro usb with the product, not to mention it was Apple's fault itunes crashed right as I was setting up. I'm a huge Apple fan but this is so annoying.
I have read something about router permissions and so on being a possible cause, is this likely? My ipad, iphone and mac never took issue with our wireless network or router previously, but it was setup a year ago and I have no idea what the settings are exactly. We also have two other imac's and a ibook connecting occasionally at home (big family) and no issues there.
I have home sharing on, I did everything the manual said. HELP!

Thanks everyone.
Alley_Cat I tried a new micro usb, as a last ditch effort before giving up entirely... SUCCESS! How strange the other micro usb charges my iphone via griffin iTrip perfectly, but wouldn't work with apple TV. Perhaps there are different kinds? Even more bizarre than Apple not including it in the box, is that they don't even SELL micro USB's on the Apple australian online store (or at least they didn't when I checked a week ago). Now that is stupid.
Anyway i'm mid-restore and software update now, fingers crossed!
Also on the HDMI cable inclusion/not inclusion debate... is it actually possible to use the Apple TV for any reason without one? Because my point is more that there is no way to do anything with the thing, without the cable. Printers that don't include usb connections usually are able to connect to your computer and network wirelessly, therefore perform their intended function without the cable. My point is simply if a device is meant to do something, you buy it expecting to do that thing. I'm lucky I had googled it and knew about the HDMI not being included, but even I missed the micro USB inclusion. At the very least this should be clearly marked on the exterior packaging so you know in store, you have to buy the device + HDMI + micro USB. Isn't Apple all about making 'things just work'?

AT300SE - Connect to TV using MHL micro usb to hdmi adapt

Hi,
I recently received the Toshiba Tablet AT300SE. This newer tablet no longer has the HMDI connection port. However it has the micro USB. My question is, can I use this micro USB to connect to my TV using the micro a USB to HDMI adapter?
Has anyone ever done this and made it work?
Thanks,
Nick

Here an interesting info from Toshiba:
+Do the AT100, AT200, AT270, AT300 and AT300SE tablets support Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL)?+

Buy the cable, or take it to Apple.

Why won't my Apple TV show up in iTunes via micro-USB?

I turned on my Apple TV (2nd gen I think) last night and it wanted to update. After going through two updates, all I got on the screen was an iTunes logo and a USB cord. I re-started via the remote and all I got was the same thing. Then I couldn't get it to go to sleep, the light just blinked. Unplugged and left it alone for awhile, plugged it back in, same thing. Went out today and bought a micro-USB cord to hook it up to my Mac and Restore from iTunes. When plugged in, the light in front just flashes and the Apple TV doesn't show up in the sidebar in iTunes under "Devices". Now what?

Try a different micro USB cable. I was trying with one I bought from Staples... didn't work no matter what I tried. Then I tried one made by LG (for LG phones)--- worked instantly. ATV2 should be unplugged from the power cord, just the micro USB cable connected to the computer USB port. Then launch iTunes. Good luck!

Why the micro usb cable doesn't come in the box

When I bought the apple tv the only this that came in the box was the power conector the remote and the apple tv, I been using my apple tv for month or maybe a year and never had a problem, but today when i wake up and tried to turn on the apple tv, it shows that i have to connect the micro usb to my computer to restore. So why when we by the product, if we need that cable why doesn't come with it?

it's one of the most common computer cables out there all smartphones but apples use them for sync and charging
all supermarkets sell them and it's only something you need if something goes very wrong
so it would make much more sense to include a hdmi cable

At the end of a recent apple tv update, a picture appeared showing a connection - micro usb - to apple itunes. I don't have this micro connection. I now can't watch apple tv. what is going on?

Many newer cameras have the Micro USB cable you can use.
Otherwise, you will need to buy one to restore your Apple TV.

You have to remove all cables before connecting to your computer with micro usb. Power is only connected when using a 3rd gen device and done after the initial connection.

My point is that Apple should have provided a micro usb cable with the unit if we are expected to update with one. Previous updates have worked over wifi; this one should also.
I absolutely agree with you about the cable - it would cost them pennies to provide one.
I have several from external USB drives but not everyone does.
If being acble to restore over USB is an expected get out of jail solution for problematic AppleTVs one should have been included.
I wonder if the new iPhone comes without a cable to connect to iTunes now (I've had it a week and not opened the box!), or maybe there's no SIM tool anymore!

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

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.

Reset an Apple TV 3 but I don't have a micro usb cable right now. What to do?

So, I want to reset an Apple TV 3 but I don't have a micro usb cable right now. What to do?

I have mini USB cords but no micro USB cords. The instructions on the Apple website assume that the customer has a micro USB by stating, "Connect one end of the micro-USB cable to the back of your Apple TV, and the other end to one of your computer's USB ports." As a customer, I understand by the language used that I should have the micro USB included with the Apple TV. If we are to supply our own micro USB cables, a re-wording of the instructions would alleviate any misunderstandings. Apple should start out by writing, "You will need to obtain a micro USB cord separetely from the Apple TV."

HT4367 What am I supposed to do, if I do NOT have a micro USB cable..???

After updating my Apple TV, there is only an icon on my TV screen, requesting me to connect to iTunes. But what do I do, if I don't have a micro USB cable. There HAS to be another way, since Apple TV is sold without this cable.

The same just happened to me and despite living in the US with plenty of stores to waste your time finding the right cable it is more than annoying that I need to buy a cable to finish an upgrade that did not suggest such a step in the beginning.
Tonight I am ******* mad about Apple.
This is just very bad product design
You only need the cable if something goes wrong with the update. Your update failed. Who knows why. Corrupted download, who knows. This procedure is the rescue so you don't have to take it in for repair.
For the record, my Apple TV 2 updated without issues, no cable needed. I found out long ago that restarting (rebooting) your Apple TV just before updating usually prevents such trouble. The Apple TV is a comuter just like and iPhone or iMac.
