The cable doesn't work properly when connected as data cable.

Hi,
I have recently encountered problem of the cable. The thing is that if i use it just for charging with the plug, it works fine. But when i wanna use it with computer (i.e., accessing itunes, etc) or with my car, it doesn't work properly, it keeps switching between charging and discharging very fast. I will appreciate your quick support!
Regards,
Farhan

Just for all the people to know, I found out the solution. You have to mark the correct side of the charging cable which connects at inlet of the phone. Because this point acts as a chip when used as data cable or auxiliary use (car,etc). That's why it charges with the plug on any side. I don't know what's the frequency of it happening to iphone 5s users, because I bought it recently (iOS 7.1.1) Hope it helps to others in future.

  • MacBook Pro is no longer working properly when connected to external monitor, help!

    My macbookpro has started giving me blue screen issues when connected to my external monitor.  It was working fine but now makes the computer unusable when connected. Using i-wire lead from thunderbolt to hdmi on monitor. Monitor works fine when connected to old HP notebook using HDMI lead so monitor not faulty.  What has changed on my mac to cause this?

  • My MacBook isn't connecting to the Internet. When I try to connect, it shows the signal strength in the top right corner as if it was connected, but the Internet doesn't work. When I go to my network preferences, it says the ip is self-assigned.

    My MacBook won't connect to the Internet, but it's connected to my router. When I go to network preferences, it says that it has a self assigned ip address, and can't connect to the Internet. How can I fix this? Please help!

    First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
    Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
    After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
    If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly.

  • Z2 double tap to wake up the screen is not working properly when taking it out of pocket

    when i take my phone out of my pocket, the double tap function is not working properly, sometimes i have to  tap over and over to wake up the screen. 
    do you know why? does same thing happen to yours ? 
    and please dont tell me not to use it. i have paid 700$ and i have right to use my phone fully functioning.  
    any advice ?

    Actually it needs some practice, you need two gentle taps on the upper third of the phone (around the place where the clock shows on lock screen), tapping too hard or tapping on the lower part of the phone will require repeating the tapping more than one time. This is from my personal experience.

  • Since upgrade, I can't now tell the size of attachments added to email and the attachment link from the icon doesn't work properly. How can these be addressed?

    Since the upgrade to mozilla and to windows was installed on my computer, when I use my hotmail account with mozilla, I now cannot tell the size of attachments. Previously you could see the size of attachments but now when the cursor passes over the attachment, this works on Internet explorer but not Mozilla. Also, the icon for attachments often doesn't work, nor the "send as an online document" nor the "No thanks" icon.

    The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
    Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
    If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
    "Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
    You need to remove the checkmark on "Always use private browsing mode" to leave Private Browsing mode or chose the "Remember History" setting.

  • MacBook Air (mid-2011) updated to EFI 2.9.1 - now password/trackpad doesn't work properly when trying to log in from sleep.

    Hi, hopefully someone can help me with an issue I've had with my mid-2011 MacBook air.
    It was running fine until I installed the 2.9.1 EFI update from the app store; I believe this fixes problems caused with the 2.9 update however since installing it I've now got a problem when trying to log in. This is what happens:
    I close the lid or put it to sleep.
    I open the lid and the login screen appears.
    The trackpad is non-responsive and I am unable to enter my password as the keyboard is unresponsive.
    I then set the machine to sleep, wait a few minutes and wake it up again - still unresponsive.
    The only thing that works is to hold the power key down to shut it down and start it up afresh. This time I am able to move the cursor and enter my password.
    Its was perfectly fine prior to the 2.9.1 update (and I've not installed anything else in the meantime) but since the 2.9.1 update the above login problem has happened.
    This is my Macbook Air's system (10.9.4) info if its of any help to anyone:
         Model Name:    MacBook Air
         Model Identifier:    MacBookAir4,1
         Processor Name:    Intel Core i5

    Anyone else had similar problems?

    Hi Roj,
    Since the update, I have a different problem (when the laptop is in sleeping mode,  screen turned down, fan runs after a certain...)... Did not have time to contact support yet.

  • The Flash doesn't work Correctly when using Photo camera in iOS5

    Hi ! I'e updated my iPhone 4 recently (yesterday) and this evening I've use it to make some photo and I've turn on the flash but when I take the photo the flash turn in advance or make a little glow and the photo saved result totally black. It is this bug to someone else? There's a solution ?

    I'm having exactly the same problem. The flash goes off, but the resulting photo is completely dark. It seems as though the flash burst is not synchronized with the camera "shutter."
    The camera seems to work fine otherwise, and if I record video with the flash on it looks fine. Flash photos looked fine before I upgraded my iPhone to IOS 5 today.
    I'm wondering if it's a widespread problem—this is the only other mention of it I could find.

  • Tag-copying doesn't work properly when using "Edit in..."

    Hi folks!
    I make use of Nik-plugins a lot to finish off my pictures. That's why I often use the "Edit in..." context-menu for hand over my Lightroom images to the Nik software. Usually I have tagged my images before, so I expect the created TIFF-file to receive the same tagging. But somehow that's not what happens.
    The situation: I'm working on images which are tagged with a certain keyword, i.e. only these images are shown (I clicked the right-arrow on the category to show exactly those images). I hand over the file to the plugin (edit in...). LR creates the TIFF-file. The selection of the image I've created the TIFF of disappears, no new image is selected. I edit the image in the Nik product and save it. Afterwards I cannot see the image in my LR category. I have to switch to the "All Photos" view, find it there, select it, uncheck (strange!?) the tagging for the image, recheck the tagging and then switch to that tag again.
    Does anyone have the same problem? Does anyone have a solution? This really slows down my speed...
    Regards,
    Kopi

  • Album Shuffle Doesn't Work Properly When Albums Have The Same Name

    I'm using the latest versions of iTunes 7.0.2 and 5.5G iPod v1.2.1, but this problem has existed in (as far as I know) all iPods to date. It certainly still continues to occur on the latest iPod.
    Example of the problem: I have many Albums by different Artists. I listen to them on my iPod by using "Album Shuffle" which plays the contents of an album in sequential order, but successive albums in random order. This is good when it works. However, iTunes and iPod have a problem when more than 1 album has the same name. So, let's say you have 3 albums by 3 different groups (Band A, B, and C), all called "Greatest Hits". The expected behaviour is that "Greatest Hits by Band A will play tracks 1-10, then another random album, and then sometime later, the album "Greatest Hits" by Band C will play tracks 1-15. That would be good, but this does not happen. Here's what actually happens:
    Some Album / Band X / Track 14
    Some Album / Band X / Track 15
    Some Album / Band X / Track 16
    Greatest Hits / Band A / Track 1
    Greatest Hits / Band B / Track 1
    Greatest Hits / Band C / Track 1
    Greatest Hits / Band B / Track 2
    Greatest Hits / Band A / Track 2
    Greatest Hits / Band C / Track 2
    Greatest Hits / Band B / Track 3
    Greatest Hits / Band C / Track 3
    Greatest Hits / Band A / Track 3
    ... (until all "Greatest Hits" tracks by Bands A, B, and C have finished)
    Another Album / Band Z / Track 1
    Another Album / Band Z / Track 2
    Another Album / Band Z / Track 3
    As you can see, the iPod treats all 3 "Greatest Hits" as one humungous album. Now, until version 7, even iTunes appeared to be pretty confused about this, but with the latest version added the "Album Artist" tag (which I've applied correctly to all tracks in my Library), so that it can identify albums as separate entities properly, even if they have the same name. (This was necessary for Cover Flow to work.) Sadly, this logic has not made it to the iPod, and we still have the crazy playback situation above.
    Since the first day I bought my first iPod back in 2002, I've always used Album Shuffle, and this has always been a problem. I was surprised to find that even the latest iPod still hasn't fixed this, even though iTunes seems to have. Apple, please could you fix this?
    iPod 5.5G, iTunes 7.0.2   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  
    Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    BTW, I'm not looking for workarounds that involve renaming albums. What if I have 158 "Greatest Hits" albums?

  • Sound on my ipad only works when I enter my pass code and when I play games. But when I typed, however, or try to listen to music/YouTube/Netflix, the sound doesn't work. When I double tap and go to the task manager, the volume slider has no dot. Help?

    I did not have this problem earlier today. I haven't dropped it recently or any such thing. I have, however, used two different audio jacks today. Although it makes keyboard sounds when I type in my pass code, it doesn't make the sounds otherwise. I also tested the sound on temple run and it worked. My slider key is set to mute, not to lock screen. When I try to adjust the volume, it'll say "sound effects" and the volume will be turned all the way down, but it won't let me turn it up. I got this iPad in December and unfortunately did not purchase AppleCare and I believe the warranty has passed. Any suggestions as to what's wrong?

    Try A and B
    (A) Restart iPad
    1. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    2. Drag the slider to turn off iPad.
    3. Turn iPad back on, hold down the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears
    (B) Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.
