USB cable a poor f

Hi everybody, I got my Zen Microphoto last week, charged it up using the supplied USB cable, transferred a bunch of music and a few photos, all is well. However, the USB cable seems to be a very sloppy fit in the socket on the ZMP; if I move the cable when charging or transferring then I can lose the connection. Has anybody else experienced this? It's not the fault of the supplied cable, as the AC adapter I bought (original Creative) is just the same sloppy fit.
Never seen this before, all my camera cables fit good and tight in their sockets.
Comments, anyone? Do I need to send my lovely ZMP back?

Try a different cable. If it dosen't give you that problem you probably just got a bad one. I never experienced this problem with mine so it might just be the one that came with yours.

  • Red light after connecting usb cable each time

    My ipod shuffle (4th gen) is weird and would not start. I know it's because someday I plugged out the usb cable right after I perform the sync task and forget to press the reject button first.
    Now the symtons is: It won't start / recharge, and it even doesn't show any light. Each time I connect it to the PC or AC adaptor, it will show RED light in about 5 seconds, and after few seconds there will be no light and it just dies.
    How can I fixed my poor faily new shuffle?

    Hey exkaede,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities! I'd go ahead and try restoring your iPod shuffle to factory settings, so the software will be restored to its original factory condition with updates:

  • Import/export of files for Quickoffice using an USB cable

    Installed Quickoffice App, but cannot import/export files. Windows Explorer recognizes only photos and iTunes does not show office files on iPod and does not tolerate pdf, doc or ppt files from PC.

    Thank you, lllaass,
    this is the way to upload/download files from iPod using USB cable, but it does not work in my case. Following advices of the Apple customer service I have reinstalled iTunes, updated the iPod software and even deleted/reinstalled the Quickoffice app again, but it did not help. In the iPod/Apps menu I see the app thumbnail, but no File Sharing section appears, so I am unable to copy/extract files through the cable. I can do it via WLan, but it is completely impractical, as I do not have any wireless connection at work. It is amazing how poorly compatioble can be non-Apple apps.

  • IPhone 3g Usb Cable Tear

    I have 2 iPhone 3G and for some apparant reason the white cable has been ripping from the white plastic part that plugs into the iphone... Will the genius bar replace both usb cables.. The quality used was poor and apple should acknowledge the problem.....

    The USB cable included is under the same one year warranty as the iPhone, so the cables should be replaced under warranty. This is a user to user help forum only, so no one here can answer for certain what a particular Apple store will do or not do since each warranty claim is on a case by case basis.
    So call AppleCare at (800) 694-7466 to handle everything over the phone, or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

  • Finding it very hard to remove and insert USB cable.

    So Ive just bought this new iPod touch 4G and I am finding it difficult to insert and remove the cable, I have to yank it out with force, is this normal? I didnt remember it being this difficult on my 3G iPod I had. I do have a hard case on the back but there is plenty of room to put in the jack and USB cable, there is nothing that is getting in the way as far as I can see.

    I've had a similar situation.
    Removing the USB end of the lightning charging cable from the keyboard was a major battle.  The design is too slippery, there is no way to get a good grip on it.  I had to use a screwdriver to lever it out - and even then I was terrified that something was going to break.
    Then yesterday I finally had an opportunity to use the earbuds - and the connector there again was too smooth to grip.  I have never had this problem with any other cable - have they changed their formula for the plastic? - reduced the tolerances? - really poor usability.

  • External Superdrive USB cable coming apart from drive-Manufacturing Defect?

    My drive is a little over a year old. SO i guess it does not fall under the limited warranty. But i have hardly used the thing. Just to install software, and that is pretty much it. Sits in the box used maybe 5 times a year.
    I just used it today to install Snow and noticed that the USB cable that sticks out of the back of the drive has ripped/cracked/tore/etc from the support rubber. Looks like the cable cover they used is to hard of a plastic and the part that connects with the larger part of the cord before going into the drive cracked and then tore when the cable was bent/moved. Now i can see the metal jacket that covers the wires under the plastic.
    Think if i bring it back to the apple store they will give me a new one or replace the wire. If you ask me it is a manufacturing defect. Like i said the drive is essentially Brand new condition. I have several macs and have been using them for many years. I know the difference between abuse and manufacturing defects.
    What do you guys think?
    Thanks

    I, too, am having the Superdrive cracked-cable problem. Bought my Air and Superdrive 7/14/09, and I've probably used the Superdrive less than 10 times. Just noticed the cracking problem of the cable yesterday and plan to try to return it to my campus bookstore (where I bought it) tomorrow. I have AppleCare. I'm surprised about the poor quality of this cable. Very un-Apple-like. I should also add I've very careful in how I've stored the drive (I don't carry it around in my case), taking care to NOT force the cable to bend too much where it meets the drive. Still, all the outer white shielding is cracked through to the bare wire.
    I DO hope that they eventually replace this with a retractable cable, as others on these discussions boards and elsewhere have hoped for. It would most-likely solve this problem (while, hopefully, not inducing a new one!).

  • I cant figure out why my HTC Droid DNA is no longer recognized by my computer when i hook it up with the USB cable that came with the phone.

    I used to be able to just plug in my phone with the USB cable to my Windows 7 computer and browse phone storage with no issues. Now my computer sees it as an android phone but when it tries to automatically install the drivers for my phone on the computer, i get an access denied error message. No option on the phone that i can see that allows me to mount phone as a usb drive. This used to work just fine with nothing more than just hooking up the cable. What gives??

        Let's get that access granted again, e_rock_b. The HTC DNA doesn't have a special USB Mass Storage Mode that needs to be turned on. Usually, it's as simple as connecting and browsing http://vz.to/1jktbZD as you mentioned. If your computer is no longer allowing that easy access, try the steps at http://vz.to/1jktvr6.

  • Can no longer charge Nano with the USB cable

    My iPod Nano (1st gen) won't charge via the USB cable any more. It will sync if there is enough battery life when I hook it up to the USB cable. However, if I leave it hooked up, it gets drained of all it's battery life. Fortunately I have a wall charger and a car charger and both of them will charge the Nano. It's a lot more convenient for me to charge it via my computer, but that's not possible any more. Is my Nano dying or is it possible the USB cable is damaged? If it's damaged, how can it sync but not charge? Why can I charge with other power sources but not the cable? Unfortunately, I don't have another iPod cable to test if the cable is damaged. If my Nano is dying, can you give me a rough estimate as to how long it will be before it stops charging all together. (I need to prepare my spouse for the upcoming iPod Touch purchase that will appear on credit card.)
    Thanks.........Julie

    Here's my own trial and error analysis of my problem. I hooked my iPod up to my old G4 PowerBook and tried to charge it from there. It didn't charge but it also didn't lose any more power that I could tell. I then hooked it up to my MacBook's first USB slot. I heard that the first slot has more power than the 2nd slot due to the way the 2 USB ports are configured. Unfortunately, the iPod appeared to have lost some power, i.e. the USB port drained some of the power from the iPod.
    I'm guessing I need to take it in to have my USB ports checked out. I prefer to take it to an Apple store with a Genius bar that is 3 hours away instead of to our "local" Apple repair shop that is an hour away. I have Apple Care and I believe my local shop will still charge me for time.
    Thanks for the suggestions. Until I find a day when I can take the long drive, I'll just charge my iPod from with a wall charger. I'm grateful the iPod syncs and I have an alternate way to charge.

  • Why does only the USB cable that came with my phon...

    I recently acquired a Nokia Lumia Icon from Verizon.  I have a Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 computer running Windows 8.1 with the Windows Phone App for Desktop (WPA4D) installed.  I had a very difficult time getting my Icon to be seen by my computer when connecting it with one of the half dozen micro USB cables I have laying around.  WPA4D would not recognize it.  Then, I connected it using the USB cable that came with the phone, and WPA4D immediately recognized it.  Then I unplugged it and went back to a different cable - it was again not recognized.
    What is different about the USB cable that ships with the Nokia Lumia Icon?  If I want to order more, like from Monoprice, what do I order to get the same thing?  Why is Nokia (apparently) using some sort of proprietary cable??
    Thanks,
    Eric

    It is not proprietary.The charging/data cable for my GPS works.
    A lot of the cables are just for charging and that is all they are wired for and they don't even have the data pin. Full size USB cables are the same way.
    If I needed an extra I would get it from Nokia.

  • Is it possible to connect HP DESKJET 1510 All-in-One series Wireless printer without USB cable?

    my mom recently bought me the HP DESKJET 1510 All-in-One series so i have an at home printer for school work. but when we bought it we did not know there was a certain USB that had to connect to the printer. so we bought the wrong one. now i have a project due and i cannot print. we have a small USB that fits it but its hard to connect it to the computer and printer because its so small. so if we can have it sent to the printer without the USB that would be perfect!

    Hi,
    No, in many cases printers won't come with USB cables. You need a cable which is similar to the following one:
