Protecting the 30-pin connector

My mini came with the cord used to connect it to my computer, and the cord has a little plastic cap on each end for protection.
Since then I've bought a car charger and an AC charger. Neither has a protective cap covering the dock connector or 30-pin thing or whatever you call it.
Does anyplace make/sell such a thing? I've tried searching on various iPod web sites, and looked for a similar question on this site, but thus far, no results.
Or should I just toss the cords in the glove compartment, suitcase, etc. and not worry about it?

I wouldn't worry about it. The metal itself is already a case for the actual connectors inside. Unless you intentionally trying to damage your cable I don't see what could go wrong.

  • How can i use my iPad 2 as a display via the 30 pin connector ?

    i want to use my ipad as a display from a range of devises like my video camer, computer and dvd player. The ipad outputs its display, so is there a way of using the 30 pin connector to input video?

    Hi there,
    At this time you cannot use your iPad as a display like you describe.
    However, you can buy the extra Camera Connection Kit, to import video and pictures from some camera's and SD Cards.
    I urge you to submit feedback to Apple:

  • Cleaning the 30 pin connector

    I took my phone to the Apple store to have the 30 pin connector looked at. They said there was corrosion on the connector and that was affecting the charging. I'm considering using contact cleaner from Radio Shack. I'm looking for ideas on how to apply it and clean the contacts in such a small space.

    I'd get a good stiff ESD brush & use that first. Best to keep all liquids away from your phone.

  • Is there a way to adjust the 30-pin connector output volume?

    The 3.5mm headphone jack on my 1st gen touch crapped out on me. Rather than pay $150 for the out-of-warranty repairs, I spent $10 on a cable that plugs into the 30-pin connector on the bottom of the unit, and comes out as a 3.5mm jack on the other side.
    The only problem now is that it seems that the iPod outputs the volume through the 30-pin connector at full, and I can't adjust it. Normally I'd play the volume on the iPod at about half and adjust the radio or whatever else to the level that was appropriate, for the best sound quality. But now because the iPod outputs the volume at maximum, the bass is distorted and tinny sounding.
    Does anyone know a way that I could turn the sound that outputs through the 30-pin connector down?
    Thanks!

    using the 30 pin connector means it bypass the volume switch so you can't adjust the volume, see adjust the EQ setting helps. Otherwise you have to add the switch (a pre-amp etc) in between the iPod and your device

  • Can someone explain the functionality of the 50-pin connector inside the SCXI-1600 board

    Hello,
    please explain the functionality of the 50-pin connector inside the SCXI-1600 board.
    I would like to have the pinouts (explanation) of this particular connector
    kind regards
    the lab mouse

    Hi,
    Using the SCXI-1600 for anything other than controlling a SCXI chassis is NOT supported by NI!
    The SCXI-1600 is based on a 16-bit MIO board. There is some additional functionality that is not used while controlling the SCXI chassis. The SCXI-1600 has 8 analog input channels, 8 DIO channels, and 2 counters; there is no analog output support on this board. There is a 50-pin connector inside the SCXI-1600 that can be used to access all of these channels.
    Through Daqmx and Internal I/O filtering you can access these channels trough software. There is no pin-layout available because we do not support this.
    Regards.

  • P7N SLI Platinum - No power with the 8-Pin connector

    Been running the system since 03/2008  ...  Around 6-8 months ago, I had a problem where the PC wouldn't power on anymore, and I replaced the power supply with a new Corsair 650W PSU.
    PC has been used every day, no issues.
    Today (a few hours ago) the system just shut down.  When I try to power the system on again, none of the fans spin up...  They start for a fraction of a second (like 1/10th of a spin) but everything stops.  The red light on the motherboard stays on.  After turning off the power supply and turning it back on, everything will try to turn on again for a fraction of a second, then nothing.
    I thought maybe it was a power supply issue again, so looking at the Corsair website, they suggest testing the power supply by using a paperclip to connect the green with a black wire and when I did that, the fan in the power supply runs.  I disconnected power to EVERYTHING (case fans, disks, DVD drives, video card) except the 24 pin and 8 pin motherboard connectors.   Still won't power up.
     I started searching for other people with similar issues and found a few cases of the exact same problem (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=132509.0;prev_next=next).  Reading what they did, I turned off the power supply, unplugged the 8-pin connector from the motherboard, and turned the system back on.  Now the motherboard powers up fine!  CPU fan starts spinning and everything.  Except the processor isn't going to work without that 8-pin power connector, right? 
      So is this a motherboard problem?  Any suggestions on how I get this fixed?

    Yes, around 6-8 months ago, the old power supply stopped working.  Smelled like an electronic fire or something in the room...  So I was sure that was the problem.
    I tried plugging the power supply in to my second computer, and it didn't work there either.  So the power supply burned up or something.  I replaced it with this new Corsair...
    Unfortunatly, my second computer is an AMD, or I could check the CPU to see if it would work.  I could try the power supply from the 2nd machine to make sure it's not the Corsair power supply, I guess.  But if we can't limit it to motherboard without testing the CPU, then I'm probably out of luck.

  • I have a 7th generation nano, and am interested in the Nike   Ipod sport kit.  However, it looks like the kit only works with older nanos with the 30 pin connector.  What kit or what accessory do I need to utilize the Nike   ipod sport kit fuctionality?

    I have a 7th generation nano, and am interested in the Nike + Ipod sport kit.  However, it looks like the kit has a 30 pin connector on the receiver and the 7th gen nano is a lightning connector.  Not sure if the kit will work.  What kit or what accessories do I need to utilize the Nike + ipod sport kit fuctionality in the 7th gen nano?  Do I just need a separate sensor and/or a heart rate monitor? Or is there a kit available for 7th gen nanos?

    Hey SeanW89,
    Thanks for the question. The iPod nano 7th generation has bluetooth functionality that can connect to the Nike+ sensor. You do not need to purchase the USB kit, but rather just the sensor itself:
    Nike + iPod Sensor - Apple Store (U.S.)

    iPod nano (7th generation): Frequently used features

    Connect to Bluetooth accessories
    You can connect your iPod nano to compatible Bluetooth headsets and other accessories, including some hands-free systems in newer cars. You can also connect to a Nike+ sensor or a Bluetooth heart-rate monitor. iPod nano supports A2DP for audio streaming and AVRCP for controlling playback on Bluetooth devices.
    Note: FM radio will not play through a Bluetooth accessory.
    Thanks,

  • How can I get my iPod to play through the 30 pin connector?

    I bought an 30 pin to 8 pin adapter. I plugged it into my iPod and plugged it into the sound system (new Yamaha MCR -049). The scene says "unknown iPod" and will not play music (it comtinues to play through the iPod's speaker) and it does not indicate that the iPod is charging. What am I doing wrong?

    Is a lightning adapter the same as 8 pin ? The manufacurer says this stereo says this only works with iPod 5 (mine is) and the only way to connect is an adapter. I bought an after market brand instead of Apple branded.  I think I have a bad adapter. I'll buy a 39 pin to lightning adapter. I think that's the only way I can figure put if the dock works.

  • I cannot play music when connect to stereo via 30-pin connector. Help?

    Since I first upgraded my iPod Touch 2nd Gen to iOS 4.x, I cannot play music when connect to external speakers via the 30-pin connector. I've tried several different speaker systems, but none work. My iPod freezes after making my song selection and doesn't do anything until after rebooting. Even then, it just goes through the same cycle if I select another song. My iPod is 100% functional until I try to plug it in to an external speaker system.
    Keep in mind that it worked up until iOS 3.1.3.

    Sounds like iOS 4 broke the compatibility with your accessory, something that sometimes happens with major OS changes. Your only hope is to see if the accessory manufacturer has an update to make it compatible with iOS 4, or downgrade your Touch back to 3.1.3.
