Old cable left in the wall.

Hi. The engineer was out today to change the cabling to dual feed from the single feed. He drilled a new hole as the cable is bigger but has left the old cable sticking out the wall into the living room. Now it doesn't plug into the sky box as it is not needed I thought this would be removed and sealed over. Is this cable left active? I worry it is a safety risk never mind that we don't need it. Should this not be removed? Thanks. Lou

It's unlikely to be a safety risk. It may be connected to the LNB and thus used as a feed to another room. If you don't intend to do this you can remove the plug and pull the cable through to the outside where you can either coil it neatly or cut it off. Yo can then make good the hole to suit yourself.

Why will my iPad 2 not recognize any iPod cables? I have tried two different cables in both the wall and in my laptop, but it will not register that it is receiving power, nor will the laptop recognize that they are connected.

Crizzo is right, the best way to charge is with the included power block. That said, the USB cords are interchangable as far as an of us know. (just not power bricks, iPhone and iPod bricks put out 5W of power, the iPad wants 10W and will always say 'not charging' if plugged into less power than it requires even though it will charge, just very slowly)
If you have tried to charge your iPad - with the iPad charger - with multiple cables and multiple computers and get no joy then it's time to head to the apple store and have them check it out. The 30 pin USB port can go bad - mine did - and it's a manufacturer's defect (unless there's any sort of obvious damage) and should be covered under the warranty;

Handset on the wall in front of the business door

Hello,
I am looking for a solution. I have a client that has analog system at this time. I am moving them to Lync with Enterprise Voice.
At this time, in front of the door they have a handset hanging on the wall with cable going inside the wall. When visitor comes to the office, they pick up handset and it automatically rings to a few people in the office. One of employees picks up the phone
and comes to the door to open it.
Is there anything like this I can use? I do not want to hang the phone on the wall, but not sure what else is there.
Thank you.
Igor.

Someone asked and got me thinking, so I dug in deeper (and perhaps wasted my morning). You can do it with some other qualified phones too:

I have an iMac (the desktop) I've stupidly left the cable you plug the monitor into the wall with there. What are they called and where can I get a new one?

Presumably the mains cable, which you can get from an Apple Store.

Why is my 4th generation ipod touch not charge? I plug it into the computer and the wall and with 2 different usb cables and its not charging. When its plugged in it shows the icon for charging but the battery never increases and it dies once i disconnect

I have a 4th generation Ipod Touch. It has been working for months when yesterday the battery started acting werid. I was driving and it was connected with the usb charger cable to my car stereo when all the sudden my music stopped and the stereo could not recognize my ipod at all. When I got back home, I tried to charge it so it wouldnt die but even while on the charger in the wall the battery continued to die. I charged it over night (the first time I have ever charged it over night) desperately to have battery for a 4 o clock plane flight so I would have entertianment. The ipod died over night while on the charger. When I unplugged it from the usb charging cable I noticed that the icon telling me the ipod needed to be charged came up. So I plugged it back in. The charging thunder bolt symbol popped up next to the very small red strip on the left side of the battery indicating that the ipod had no charge to turn its self on. I tried plugging it in on the computer, the wall ac charger and a stereo system made just for the ipod that also pluggs into the wall. I have used 2 different cables, the result being the same that the ipod held no charge, and it wouldnt charge at all while on the charger, and it would imediately die once i take it off the charger.
I have not idea what has happened ....
Please help
THanks!

- While charging try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if still problem restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
- However, I really think that the iPod has a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. If defective Apple should give you a refurbished iPod.

Ipods req the wall charger, old and new

Ok, technical question here.
What is the variable in an ipod requiring a wall charger for the final part of a restore? ipod type or powered usb port. I believe it's the type of ipod (with the powered usb port being a requirement for the ipod to connect to the computer), but read below with further details.
I was under the assumtion that the ipods required a powered usb (1.1 or 2, 2 being the better choice) port, and if it was not powered, the ipod wouldn't connect in the first place. Am I correct with this, or are there like strange multiple versions of powered usb ports?
The thing that leads me to believe that it depends on the ipod is because that is what I've dealt with during my stint doing psychotic ipod fixing. Same laptop/chord/usb port and everything, but the 5Gs/nanos did not require the wall charger during the restore process while the old 4Gs/1G minis did.
If it was the poweredness (I don't know what else to call it!hah) of the usb port that was the variable, the older ipods would not have required it.
These same findings have been experienced on the brand new two day old laptop I was using at work, and my one year old laptop at home.

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
There are 4 components to the charging circuit: Power adapter, dc-in card, logic board, and battery. It sounds like your power adapter is working alright. Based on your description, they replaced the dc-in card, which contains the port the rca plug from the power adapter goes into, and they replaced the battery.
Have you reset the Power Management Unit (PMU)? See this Apple article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
If a PMU reset doesn't fix it, take it back, explain that you've replaced the dc-in card and battery and it still doesnt't charge. Sounds like you have Applecare. They should take it, and replace the logic board, as that's the only component left in the charging circuit (again assuming your power adapter is good).

I have coloured vertical lines about a quarter of the way from the left of the picture when using my apple tv 2. Anyone got any idea what is causing it. Have done a reset but still same. ATV2 is only a month old.

Just to make sure, try a different set of cables. If the problem persists, have the unit replaced by Apple.

What is the exact name of the cable I need to connect my old hard drive from my macbook pro (it has been taken out of the computer) to my new macbook pro? I need to transfer files from the old hard drive to the new computer.

What is the exact name of the cable I need to connect my old hard drive from my macbook pro, which has been removed from the computer, to my new macbook pro? I need to transfere files from the old hard drive to the new computer.

No eSATA to USB. Just a SATA/IDE to USB adapter. Google SATA/IDE to USB adapter and you will get tons of links to buy them. Most likely your local computer electronics store has them, although they might be more expensive buying locally than online.
I have several. You can get either USB 2, which what I recommend, or USB 3. USB is backward compatible so a USB 3 adapter will work on a USB 2 port and a USB 2 adapter will work on a USB 3 port. Backward compatible in both directions.
I suggest a USB 2 type because there have been some problems with certain USB 3 devices, the USB 3 interface used isn't all that good in those certain devices. USB 3 is still fairly new where as USB 2 has been around for over 10 years.

At the apple store they said I needed an esata to usb wire. But looking at wires on line has been confusing. Is sata the same as esata? How do I know if I need a usb 3 or usb 2?

How do I connect my Time Capsule directly to the internet cable from the wall?

My Time Capsule only works if I connect it to my wireless router with a LAN cable. But, when I plug the cable from the wall directly into the Time Capsule, it just blinks orange. What am I not doing right?

There is no modem in the TC.. you need a modem.. your wireless router is actually a modem router.. not just a modem.. so it could be replaced with a straight modem.. sometimes.. it can be bridged .. sometimes..
But you still haven't told us enough.. what broadband do you have?
What model is the existing modem router? How does it authenticate to the ISP?
Once we know those things we can suggest further options.

Connecting the coax cable (from the wall) to my tv instead of box?

I was told this:

Danice: Hi, thank you for reaching out to Samsung technical support. How may I assist you?
David: Hi the UN40F6400AFXZA tv how do I use the tv function? I have the HDMI cable in the tv to the set top box but when I hit the tv option on source using my remote all I get is "white snow"?
Danice: I would be happy to assist you with the instructions to change the source on the TV.
Danice: What are the devices connected to the TV?
David: no I think you mis understand me.

David: am I talking to a robot or a real person?
Danice: I am sorry for the confusion.
Danice: You are chatting with a Live Person.
Danice: I would be happy to assist you with the information about the TV source on the TV.
David: ok
Danice: The TV source on the TV is nothing but the cable from the wall or antenna connected to the coaxial port on the TV.
Danice: You should connect an antenna or cable from the wall to this port and perform the auto programming through Menu options to get the display.
David: oh the cable from the wall goes to the cable box though?
Danice: No, this port is only for the cable from the wall directly to the coaxial port on the TV.
David: I'm confused cause my cable provider says the cable from the wall goes into the coax on the set top box? So how would the set top box work without the coax plugged in?
Danice: I will clarify that for you.
Danice: The Coaxial port on the TV will work only for the air channels like Antenna or cable from the wall and this is not applicable for the cable by the service provider you are referring to.
David: ok
David: also my other question is UN40F6400AFXZA dose it support Audio Return HDMI?
Danice: I will check that for you.
Danice: Yes, the HDMI 2 is the ARC port on the TV.
David: awesome how do I set it up?
Danice: Yes, follow the instructions mentioned in the link below to use the ARC feature:
Danice: http://support-us.samsung.com/cyber/popup/iframe/pop_troubleshooting_fr.jsp?idx=469179&modelname=UN4...
Danice: Are you able to access the link?
David: yes thank you

The Verizon signal is delivered via coas to the set-top box which allows you to get all of the channels you subscribe to. You then hook the STB your TV (recommended via HDMI in your case since you have an HD set with HDMI inputs). The coax signal must be supplied to both your STB and your router.
If you plug your coax directly into you TV and do a channel scan, you will only recieve local channels (and a couple of others) because all other channels are encrypted and require an STB (or a cable card with an appropriate device) to decode.

"This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPod" It's the charger that came in the box for my iPod 5 and after I updated to IOS 7 it no longer connects to my computer, but charges in the wall with no problem.

It still charges in the wall, but when it comes to putting songs or pictures on my iPod, it won't connect to iTunes or charge while plugged into my computer.

All you need is a plug adaptor, if required. Apple sells an adapter kit:

My i-Pad won't charge after I downloaded some stuff from i-Tunes. I have tried charging through two computers and using the wall socket,, with different cables. I have turned the i-Pad off & on a couple of times but it still won't charge. Any ideas will be gratefully received.

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
http://www.macblend.com/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.

Newer iPhone USB cables tear at the ends, unlike old style iPhone USB cable

Has anyone been seeing their iPhone USB cables tear at the ends after a year? This has been happening with the newer USB cable style, but not the older ones.
http://i.imgur.com/KjGUx.jpg (USB ends)
http://i.imgur.com/ueJ9m.jpg (30-pin connector ends)
For the USB ends, the older style had a plastic cylindrical section covering the joint where the cable and USB head met. The same goes for the 30-pin connector end.

Oh yeah. Our household has torn a total of three already in precisely that way. In fact, the one I'm using as we speak to connect my iPhone 3G to my computer is actually shredded from both ends (though the USB end is worse; the other two were also only torn at the USB ends).
Sure one might attribute that to "user abuse" -- I don't know that any of us have been particularly
gentle with our respective iPod and iPhone cables -- but personally I've found that the new cables (as opposed to the old cable that came with my first iPod) break in exactly this way unusually easy, without any extra unkind handling. Surely such an essential part should be able to last ordinary use beyond the first year?

Old cable left in the wall.
