Mixed the iPhone & iPod cables up - help needed
I've been charging up my phone via the computer, and I now find I've mixed the USB cables from iPhone & iPod. Visually, there are slight differences between the two:
cable 1: connector end is slightly larger, and the USB end has both Apple & USB logos
cable 2: connector end is smaller, and USB end only has USB logo
Which cable is the one that came with the iPhone?
Functionally, are they the same - so I can safely use either one to charge up the iPhone.
Thx!

The last difference, the iphone cable does not have a locking dock connctor & will not have the small releases on the sides like the ipod cable will.

can you give me some reasons about why I need to buy an iPod touch 5.Although I have the iPhone ,iPod nano, iPad ,MacBook pro,I think the iPod touch 5 is so attractive that I can't help buying it at once.If I have it,what I can do with it,can you tell me?
All I can say is that I REALLY like my Touch 4th gen because I have all sorts of capabilities in a small form: e-mail, web browsing, news, weather, books, magazines, etc. etc. Plus lots and lots of apps out there, including so many free ones. I use the Cloud a lot so it's great to have everything sync'd to my MacBookPro (e-mail, Evernote, Pocket, etc.)
It would be easier, though, to do some of this, especially magazines, on the iPad mini, but, again, I love the small size of the Touch.
As for the 5th gen instead of the 4th, the fifth has Siri and the 3D feature in maps, which are great. And I'm sure it's a lot faster in iOS 6 than the 4th gen. And cool colors!
Don't know if this helps . . . -
I cannot sync my iphone to my macbook since the highest software upgrade on it is 10.5.8. I cannot upgrade to the min. software necessary to upgrade to the itunes version that I need for the iphone 5! Please help!
The iPhone 5 requires iTunes 10.7 or later and iTunes 10.7 requires OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8). If your profile is correct it looks like you need to update your OS X on you Mac. You can contact Apple and purchase the software from them.

In order to take advantage of the iPhone trade in, do I need to have met my upgrade eldigbility date, or do I just need to re-sign up for a new 2 year plan with the new iPhone 6?
thanks, a HUGE suggestion for you: Please add that to the restrictions of the trade-in details online, it mentions that nowhere and is VERY deceptive. Since at least 90% of 5c and 5s users are under a 2 year contract and both phones have been out just a year, there will be a majority of bitter customers who fell for the ad and will be taking advantage of the buy out options the other carriers are offering.

OK, as always I waited before downloading a new OS and I'm sure glad I did. On the APP store I sorted comments by most critical...and WHOA...what is Apple doing? No support for Logic 9, MS Office? Is Apple only trying to reach the iphone/iTouch crowd? HELP! I was going to buy a new Mac pro & two 27" monitors but until I see some real problem addressing by Apple...I'll keep what I have and see how everything pans out. If anyone has any comments to ally my fears, I welcome them. I've been a devoted Mac user since 1993. 7500; G4; G5; and my latest Mac Pro...Where do I go? Again...HELP!
Hi there,
If you look through ALL the reviews, they are mainly good. I feel that Lion is an excellent upgrade, although not essential.
There have been some issues with MS Office, but right now, it is up to Microsoft to issue a Lion compatible update, which will come in time. Saying this, MS Office has been working fine on my mac, it seems to be an isolated issue.
Logic 9 seems like a strange issue. Again, an update looks to be coming soon, with Lion support.
I do not feel that apple only focusing on the iPhone and iPad user base. There are many features carried along, but the machine can still be used for pro tools and use just as well. It still is a fantastic, reliable, fast, easy to use OS, which I have had very few problems with. Some additions you may not use, but they don't get in the way. You will love the new Exposé, Mission Control, as it is great for pro users who have many windows open at once, and the new spaces. You may however, never use Launchpad, but you don't have to, just drag it away from the dock!
I really reccomend buying a mac with Lion, although if you are worried about bugs, wait a few months for the issues to be ironed out, and updates to be given. Because the update is so very cheap, I really think you can hardly go wrong. Try it out with your current mac, and if you like it, go ahead and buy your new ones.
Lion is fantastic, albeit maybe rushed.
Any other queries, just ask,

What is the type of cable do i need for a macbook white to connect to a hdmi cable?
what is the type of cable do i need for a macbook white to connect to a hdmi cable? This is quite a problem since macbook white is not in production anymore.
First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort. The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports. Each would take a different adapter to connect with the TV. -

Hi, my iphone could not be activated after upgrade it from IOS4 to IOS6, it shows that is due to activation server is unavailable and no sim card in the iphone. Anyone can help me please?
It is 99% hacked/jailbroken iPhone to use a different carrier than intended. You have to put the sim from the original carrier or ask them to unlock the iPhone. We as well as Apple cannot help you with this.
-
If the new SIM is working, and I backed up the Iphone-4, why do I need to to RESET and Restore, as mentioned in the "About Unlocking" instruction?
I think you haven't told us the whole story. If the phone was working on multiple carriers before it was officially unlocked it was hacked to do so. If it wasn't, and you haven't seen the message "Congratulations. Your iPhone is unlocked" then you must still Restore iOS on it to get this message.

I find using the iPhone / iPod size virtual keypad much easier to use with a stylus...as when an iPhone app is installed on the iPad. Anyway to use the iPhone size keypad with all apps?
I don't want the keyboard to become bigger. Wish there was a way to always have the iPhone sized keypad available for use with any app. When typing with fingers or stylus, the distance between keystrokes is SO much shorter and efficent on the iPhone keypad vs the "full size" iPad keyboard.
I've heard that there will be some keyboard options when the new IOS comes out...wish this was one of them.
Haven't looked yet, but is there a place you can recommend things such as this to Apple?
Thanks. -

Result ? no reaction from both devices !
I reinstalled EVERYTHING from APPLE on my PC and installed again - same problem
I restored my iPod Touch 2G - same problem
I installed a USB-Manager which shows which devices are connected - iPod isnt in the list.
On a Apple Mac it functioning perfect without any problems !
On a PC it is almost everytime no reaction from both sides ! I tried on different PCs and its from the most PCs the same problem. I gave my iPod onetime to my friend and he had to connect the iPod more than 30-times that the iPod connects to the PC !
On my PC i tried so much and i am freaking out onetime. Its so frustrated !
Links like these from Apple are not the solution because i followed them and I had the same problem.
By the way: Apple Support should be for EVERYONE and shouldnt depend on the S/N from the Device !
Back to the topic ..
I had onetime a older PC which was running with Windows XP SP3.
iPod was able to connect with the PC.. but on my new PC it wont connect !
It makes me mad this problem !
Please help .. I am not the only one who need the solution for that.

Nothing but a dead/sick iPod... help needed!
My beloved color iPod just froze up today when I tried to select a song and then went black. It then displayed the "boot up screen" of the iPod, and then displayed the "sick iPod" icon, with the frowning, dead/sick-looking iPod. So I went to the support for iPods and tried everything: charging it, plugging it into my computer, rebooting it and trying to get it to disk mode - everything. Still nothing. My computer doesn't read the iPod and the iPod doesn't get a charge if I plug it into the wall or the computer. It just sits there with a blank screen. When I do reboot it, all I get is that dang dead/sick iPod icon. Any suggestions (other than going in and getting a new iPod)?
Hi Paul
Don't go for a new iPod (yet). Is sounds like the IPod software on the HD is corrupted.
I had similar problems with my iPod a week ago (had to format the HD, writing 0’s on all bits – it took all night with 20 GB HD, USB cable and an iBook G3).
I recommend an iPod update or a format of the HD with writing 0’s (which requires an update afterwards to reinstall the iPod software to the HD). If you have all night then go for the format
Both the iPod update and the disk utility is found at: Applications > utilities.
Please write back if you need more help or suggestions.

What Major/Career to design the iphone/ipod/ipad hardware and iOS design?
I want to go to college to get a bachelor degree to design iphone/ipod/ipad hardware and iOS designing please tell me.
If you are wanting to create internal hardware you need to pursue an Electrical Engineering degree. If you want to write software pursued a computer science degree.
You probably would not be able work on both hardware and software on the iPhone while working at Apple.
