Over used micro usb cable (lumia 720, 820, 925, et...
i find myself connecting my lumia's cable to my pc atleast once or twice a day to either charge or sync my fone.
just curious, wont the micro usb port of the fone become loose (loose contact) over-time too soon, since it uses a common interface for charging as well as syncing to pc?
i guess our fones are still too new to worry about that. but just a thought from yours truly.
typically for lumia 720, 820, 925, and the like.. who's got no (or optional) wireless charging option... any thoughts?
It could be a concern to have the USB port wear out prematurely with over-use or constantly connecting and disconnecting the cable. Hopefully, Nokia have taken this into consideration when designing the phones and have used a robust and good quality USB port.
For me, I tend to do most of my synchronising via Skydrive and charging using my QI charging plate so as to avoid using the USB port as much as possible.

My apple tv3, serial no. C07JWBZ9DRHN is not powering on. Connected with Computer, with micro USB cable with power on, it is not shown in Devices. How to rectify
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.

How to upgrade to 4.4 without micro usb cable,
How to upgrade to 4.4 without micro usb cable ?
My ATV tell me 4.3 is the last version of the OS.Kim Hannemann wrote:
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!

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."

Have a macbook pro running osx lion. Connected a Kindle Fire using micro usb and the disk icon doesn't show up on the desktop. Also sometimes get a message sayiing computer doesn't recognize device. When I opened disk utilities the Kindle disk does show up there. What am I missing?

Kindle is connected directly, not thru a hub. Also called Amazon Kindle support, tech was baffled when I told her I was using a Mac. She said, "I'm not really familiar with apple products."
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.

I am trying to connect a Macbook Pro to a projector for a Powerpoint presentation. When I use a VGA cable, the color of the projected images are not good. When I use a USB cable, the projected image includes the presenter notes on my computer screen?
To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
and select the Library that you moved. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

I'm new to this and I think I typed a long heading!
Anyway the issue is I have iTunes and just updated it to the latest. I also have various Apple devices however my iPhone won't sync with iTunes. When I connect it using the USB cable it does not appear in the top right corner as does other devices. The cable is fine as it charges and also my PC sees the device. However it does not appear in iTunes so I can't sync music to it.
I've searched the web but all asume iTunes can see the device.

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.
