Usb 2.0 cable

Is there some technical reason why I cannot find a two-headed USB cable (flat insert at both ends)? I just want to connect the flat USB on extreme (where a printer would have plugged in) to my USB hub and can only find the A/B cables. I will check the Apple store and online, but just thought I would ask if my need is unusual.
Thanks.

It's possible that the fact that you've got a firewire connection going from the hub to a computer could be a problem - but I'm still of the opinion that the AEBS won't be able to see the firewire drive through the USB hub. I would bet that the base station would need a firewire controller to talk to the drive - it also might be possible that since the hub you're using (where did you get it anyway? I think I want one) has both firewire and USB and that the two interfaces might not have any intersecting data pathways.
The firewire and USB portions of the hub might be completely separate OR the fact that the firewire drive is already mounted on another machine may keep it from being mounted by the access point - I'm just guessing on that point, never tried mounting a firewire drive on two different devices, and I have no idea if that would work or what would happen if you did. It also depends on whether or not the hub is capable of routing the firewire drive through the USB interface. If it is then your scenario might work if the the drive is no longer mounted on the computer, it's worth trying just to see what happens.

Can I use my standard car charger i got for iphone 4 with iPhone 5? if I just plug in the usb to lightning cable or will it damage the new iphone?

The charger takes a usb cable, so I figure I could just plug in my usb to lightning cable and charge using my Saitek charger. Does anyone know if this works?

Did you get this to work? Mine did not work when I plugged it into my at&t iphone car charger usb port.

Hp LaserJet 4100 will not print in Win 7 with usb to parallel cable

Our church has recently upgraded all of the desktop computers with Dell Inspirons with Win 7 64 bit. We have a Hp Laserjet 4100 that we have purchased a Tripp Lite U206-006 usb to parallel cable. The driver for the cable appears to install and the port location for that usb printing support is Port_#002.Hub_#002. It appears that the driver that is installed is from Microsoft and is Driver 6.1.760.16385. I have also tried Hp's upd for both pcl 5 and pcl 6 and a couple of versions that appear after windows update has updated the drivers. Nothing allows for printing. When I delete/remove each of the manually installed drivers and have windows scan for hardware changes, the driver that is automatically installed is the HP LaserJet 4100 PcL6. I have read most of the various posts in the forums that come up when googling the subject, but have yet to get any indication that there is any data being sent. Have used the trouble shooter which reports fixing the problem with the usb to parallel driver and then the printer, but nothing seems to work. Help

USB-Parallel converters can be problematic. The models listed in posts flagged here have been verified by users to work with 64 bit Windows 7.

USB to Parallel Cable Adapter not working with New PC and Windows 8.1

With the demise of parallel ports on PCs, I purchased a USB to Parallel cable adapter several years ago. I used this combination to successfully connect my Apple Laserwriter 16/600PS printer to my HP Pavilion Slimline s7600n PC (running Windows XP, SP3). I've decided to upgrade, I now have an HP Slimline s5-1020 PC running Windows 8.1. However, I cannot get the printer to printer properly. When the print command is executed, the printer spits out page after page of 1-line jibberish at the top of the page. This continues forever until either the paper runs out or I abort the document by opening the paper drawer. Only after full shutdown of both printer and computer and reboot of both will the printer clear itself of the corrupted print instruction.
The printer is also connected to an Apple MacIntosh 7200/120 computer via AppleTalk and it prints fine. Also, I reconnected the printer to my old Slimline s7600n computer and it prints perfectly. I have to assume that either new PC or OS is the source of the problem.
Any and all help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,
You have to go to the maufacturer site to check is there any Windows 8.1 driver for it. I know many cable/adapter vendors stopped to develope from Windows 7.

Issues transferring photo/video from iPhone 6 to Macbook Pro running OS X 10.8.5 via USB-to-Lightning cable

Hello all—
Recent upgrader to iPhone 6. I have a mid-'09 Macbook Pro running OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion and I'm seeking to transfer video I just shot on my iPhone 6 to my Macbook Pro. They are large files so I need to transfer via USB-to-Lightning cable as I don't have wi-fi capability to do the upload. However I can't access the iPhone 6 as a storage device through finder or image capture and can't figure out another way to transfer the files non-wirelessly. Any suggestions? The old iPhoto '09 on here won't let me import, either.

What I am hoping to do - assuming it will work of course - is run OS 10.5 as a virtual machine via Virtual Box on my MacBook Pro.
Why virtualize Leopard and not Snow Leopard?
I guess I did it once in Parallels:

But to be honest, I have forgotten how!
Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) installed into Parallels is another matter altogether!

No

Is there a usb 3.0 cable for iPods?

I was wondering if there are USB 3.0 cables for iPods. Any feedback would be great

No. Apple only sells one cable for the iDevices.
The iDevices will work with a USB port but it will be not faster than a USB 2 port.

Will a USB-parallel adapter cable connect my MacBook to an OLD PC printer?

I have a very old laser printer of high quality and want to connect it (not wirelessly) to my MacBook. Does anyone know whether a USB-parallel adapter cable would do the job? Thanks,

Oh, a wrinkle: the printer has a cord coming out of it meant to plug (female) into a PC (male). So I'm wondering what to do. Any suggestions?

How long is the supplied USB to lightning cable

What is the length of the supplied USB to lightning cable in the iPad air box?

The supplied cable is 1 meter. Slightly more than 3 ft. You can also order an Apple 2 meter cable. But most of us use a light extension cord. It's less expensive and they can be purchased almost anywhere.

You can use this : http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/51344/serial but let me tell you that last night I found the way to do it with Coolterm for free http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/31352/coolterm
I think that the problem is the installation , you have to copy to sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/ProlificUsbSerial.kext or in my case I used this as reference, now it is working....

LaserJet 5p won't print through USB to Parallel cable on Windows 7

I have a LaserJet 5p that works fine on an old DELL INSPIRON 600m laptop using a USB to parallel cable. When I attach the USB connector to my Gateway All-In-One (ZX6971) running Windows 7 Professional, it installed the 1284 driver and the HP LaserJet 5p
driver and informed me that my printer was ready to use. I have tried printing the Test Page and printing documents. The printer document dialog box indicates a status of Printing for a few minutes and then changes to Error - Printing.

As I said before, the cable and printer work fine with the old DELL laptop running Windows XP. There does not appear to be a compatibility issue between the cable and printer. I will look into a possible driver for the conversion cable.
Windows XP and Windows 7 are two (2) different operating systems. Yes, they both share the name "Windows" and both share some core components, but just because something worked on Windows XP is absolutely no guarantee, or relationship, to how it works
on Windows 7. Many, many things that work in/with Windows XP do not work in/with Windows 7.
In most cases Windows XP and Windows 7 do not use the same drivers to start with.

HP Deskjet 350 install with windows 7 and usb to centronics cable

I'm trying to install the 350 (small portable color) on a Sony Vaio with Windows 7. The vaio doesn't have a centronics or ir port, so I picked up a usb to centronics cable, but I'm having trouble with the computer not being able to locate the printer even though it's attached via the usb port. I've downloaded the driver and installed it, but no luck. Any advice?
Thanks,
Patricia

Alright, sounds like you are sharing your printer but you are having some difficulty doing so. What I am going to suggest is that you remove the drivers that you have and follow the instructions from one of my colleagues, Shane, on how to assign an alternate driver (or you actually can search for the Deskjet 9800 driver) :
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Software-Drivers-e-g-Windows-8/How-to-Assign-Alterna...
Follow those instructions and share the printer again and let me know if this resolves your issue!
Have a great day

23" display looses power when either USB or firewire cables are connected

I was actively using my computer when one of my 2 23" cinema displays lost power. I thought it died and was unplugging everything, when I discovered that it powered back on when both the connected USB and FIREWIRE cables were disconnected from my mac. If I connect either one, it immediately goes black (with no white LED). Any solutions outside of taking the thing in for repair?

I'm leaning toward suspecting the 65w power brick of delivering insufficient power to the monitor to drive the USB/Firewire load. Gonna try a different power brick and see if that makes any difference.

More power with a USB 3.0 cable?

I have an external drive that uses a y-cable to get enough power to operate. Would a USB 3.0 cable deliver more power to my external hard drive so I don't have to use the y-cable?

No. The power is determined by the port, not the cable. Besides, there is no USB 3.0 hardware in the MBA.

A3500-F A7-50 usb to hdmi cable

Hi
I bought a a3500-f tablet yesteday and want to stream video from the tablet to the smart tv by usb to hdmi cable but i have just heard that that is not possible...is this true and i was told at the shop that i could do this
thanks

The A3500 doesn't support HDMI or MHDL. You're can use Chromecast. I'm not sure whether or not the A3500 supports Miracast, but that might be an option too.
