TS2634 Why does every lightning cable that I connect to my iPad eventually stop working?

I have purchased a dozen lightning cables. Some work, some don't.  Every one I have purchased has stopped working after a short period if use. It may take a few months but it will eventually stop working.  I take care of the cables. They are not subjected to physical damage of any kind.
Please advise

If they are genuine Apple cables they have a 12 month warranty either from the device they came with or when purchased as an Accessory

  • HT4101 Why does my lightning sd card reader connection kit not work on my iPad mini since I upgraded to ios7.

    Why is my lightning sd card reader not working on my iPad mini since I updated to ios7. It worked perfectly well before upgrade.

    Try rebooting your iPad:  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.
    Is the lightning kit you use an Apple kit or aftermarket?  If it is Apple and after rebooting it does not work, return it to an pple Store and they will replace it.

  • Why Does The Lightning Cable Charge Faster?

    I have upgraded from a iPhone 4 (That just had its battery replaced) to a iPhone 5S (yay ) and i have noticed that my 5S charges A LOT faster than my 4 did. When i had my 4 the "fast battery charge" was a sign that the battery was going bad, i know this can't be it on my iPhone 5S because my friends 5S does the same thing, she has noticed there is a difference in the charge time as well. Can i please have some technical answer to this? Throw it at me in any form you want, i just want to know why it does this!

    False perception. If there are speed enhancements it is the iPhone and not the cable.

  • What is the length of the Lightning cable that comes with the iPad Air?

    Actually have three questions.
    1. What is the length of the Lightning cable that came with my iPad Air? I ask because I might need to purchase a new one.
    2. My current Lightning cable, the one that came with my Air, the end of the cable, the rubber is coming off, it's stretched. Would AC+ send me a new one?
    3. I have an iPhone 5s also, does the iPhone have it's own unique Lightning cable or can I use my iPad Air Lightning cable to charge my iPhone and vice versa, are the Lightning cables universal with the newer products?
    Thanks.

  • Why does every Apple update require a restart?

    I vaguely remember a time when OS updates didn't require a complete restart every time you installed one. Why is it the case now? I have had 3 updates in the last 3 days and 3 restarts. The last one was updates to Quicktime, iLife Media browser and iDVD. None of which I would consider a critical components. OK Quicktime might have something in it but I doubt it.
    UNIX is a great because of it modularity and the ability to update components without shutting everything else down. That's what makes it a great server platform. Yes I know occasionally the kernel and other core components need patching and in those cases a restart is required but why oh why does every Apple update of late require a restart?
    Whomever answers (preferably from Apple) please be as technical as you like. I would much rather a real answer than bull.

    Well, you dont have to believe it but that's what's happening. Many updates don't modify critical system files, but those that do will require a restart. Not all updates to QuickTime, for instance, have modified critical system files, so they've not required a restart. However, the latest version does do this, so the restart is required.
    Likewise with iLife, the media browser is a core utility that is shared by the system and many applications and it's installation will require a restart. There are other similar shared resources as well which can get updated from time to time.

    Have you tried updating via iTunes? I find that way's more reliable - I've never had any problems with updating that way.

  • Why does my Finder indicate that my "iphoto library" is 13gb and "photo lib" is 15gb?

    Why does my Finder indicate that my "iphoto library" is 13gb and "photo library" is 15gb if they are supposed to 1 library used by both?

    Thanks Larry, but sorry if I'm being dense, but are you saying that the space being used is not 13gb (Iphoto) + 15 gb (Photo) = 28gb?  And that if I toss the iPhoto Lib I won't save 13gb?  That's what I not getting about this 'shared' library.
    Yes that is exactly what I said - and what the article I liked said with a somewhat detailed description
    Basically both libraries  use Linux HardLinks to the original photos - the finder sees each has containing the compete set of photos although the photos are only on disk once
    And deleting one library only deletes the links and a few overhead items - so again as I said would save very little space

    Do not worry about the backups.  They will be deleted automatically after a week, or if your HD gets too full.  See #30 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
    The "other" stuff is just that -- all sorts of things that don't fall into the few categories listed.  The operating system, system work files, plus lots of your stuff like documents, mail, etc.  See Lion's Storage Display

  • HT1766 Why does my pc say that there is no drivers for my new Ipad Air. I did a backup this night from the two week old Ipad Air that I smashed the front?

    Why does my pc say that there is no drivers for my new Ipad Air. I did a backup this night from the two week old Ipad Air that I smashed the front?

    Drivers are iOS specific....meaning if your old one had iOS 7.0.6 and your new one 7.1 then it needs different drivers.
    Is your iTunes up do date? if not, then updating it may help.
    You can also try using a different usb cord and port to see if that triggers the driver download.
    or, if that doesn't work, try going into your control panel, add/remove programs. Look for 'apple mobile device service' and uninstall that. THen plug your iPad in and it should reinstall.
    If that doesn't work, go back into the control panel but uninstall iTunes, and apple mobile device service and apple application support, then redownload and reinstall iTunes and see if that gets your drivers fixed.
    Another way to do that is go right click on 'my computer' 'properties' and go to 'device manager'
    plug your iPad in and do you see it show up in the list? YOu may need to click some of those little plus signs to open up the lists. If you see your iPad, right click on the name and you should see an option to update the driver.

    Hi Noel,
    I'm wondering whether your comment addressed to Lmono was intended for me Tmono.
    You ask: "So why didn't you provide the same?"
    It just didn't occur to me to do so.
    My intent was to report that there was at least one other user encountering a similar problem.  It occurred to me that Adobe might be interested in determining the scale of a problem which causes one of  their best known products to fail to run quite so completely after a clean install 
    I also see that I misreported the OS I'm running - its Windows 8.
    If there is further information I can provide which might be helpful in determining a solution, if someone could be specific about what would be helpful, then I will try to respond appropriately.
    Perhaps the following from the event log:
    Faulting application name: Photoshop.exe, version: 15.1.0.148, time stamp: 0x53d97a8f
    Faulting module name: igdfcl64.dll, version: 8.1.0.2875, time stamp: 0x507eff6d

    Faulting package full name:
    Faulting package-relative application ID:
    The X230 has Intel HD 4000 graphics support built in to the processor.  Windows was pretty stubborn about refusing driver updates, but I just managed to get drivers from the Intel site to install and Photoshop is now running, so hopefully I need not try your patience any further.
    In case anyone else has a similar problem and stumbles on this the way to install the driver that worked was to:
    - download the zip version of the generic driver from Intel
    - use the 'have disk' option in the windows dialog to install the driver - other paths in the UI did not work with windows refusing to install the driver.

  • Why does my iPad2 suddenly keep losing connection on facetime?

    Why does my iPad2 suddenly keep losing connection on FaceTime and tries to constantly reconnect?

    Does it happen anywhere that you use FaceTime or only in your home WiFi network? If it happens with your home network, have you tried power cycling your router? Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in.
    Turn WiFi off and on in the settings. Reset the network settings.
    Have you tried any troubleshooting steps at all?
