USB cable doesn't connect

My USB cable simply will not fit the port. Anyone else having similar problems?

The standard usb to pc cable will have a gap of about 1.5mm (1/16") between the plug body and the playbook.
Check for gold wires pressed up against the back of the socket which would indicate a ruined socket.
it may be that it's far enough in but no connection- very common problem. It only needs to be plugged in upside down once to ruin the socket.
If so, get a rapid charger which uses the three pin socket to the right of the usb, and use wifi sharing for file transfer.

Mac Mini (OSX6) freezes on boot if USB cable to KVM connected

I have a Mac Mini (OS X 10.6.8) that has started freezing with a solid grey screen on boot up (i.e., no Apple logo, no spinning wheel). The work around is relatively easy: all I need to do is disconnect the USB cable running to my ATEN KVM CS1768 switch, power down, power up and then reconnect the USB cable once the Mac desktop is loaded. While this just happened three times in a row, it doesn't happen all the time. The first time it happened last summer I spent an hour on the phone with Mac support (the computer was still under warranty at that point) and the very last suggestion they made was to disconnect the USB cables before attempting to reboot. (I don't recall precisely if the problem occured when my USB peripherals-- a Mac USB keyboard and mouse-- were directly connected to the Mini rather than being routed through the KVM switch, but I *think* it did.)
If anyone has a quick answer or can point me to a prior discussion of this same (or a related) issue, I would be most grateful

Hi,
Thanks for the response. I've been using Macs for a little over four years now but this is only the first time I have gone to the system logs (or any of the other logs available from the consolute utility).
The system log appears to be completely unhelpful. I got up this morning sometime after 6:00 a.m. and posted my first report (see above) at 6:48 a.m. (I don't have a record of the exact times of the boot up freezes.)
Following are the *entire* contents ot the system log covering this period:
Nov 19 01:12:15 WHW-Mac-Mini loginwindow[40]: loginwindow SleepWakeCallback WILL sleep
Nov 19 06:26:35 WHW-Mac-Mini loginwindow[40]: loginwindow SleepWakeCallback will power on, Currenttime:11/19/2012 6:26:35.019 AM - Waketime:11/19/2012 6:26:33.980 AM = Deltatime:1.038853049

Nov 19 07:35:13 WHW-Mac-Mini login[17714]: USER_PROCESS: 17714 ttys000
I assume that one of the two successful reboots that I did during this period was probably at 6:27.
The "all messages" log has some additional information from this time frame that may be useful:

Following this there were quite a few unsuccessful attempts to connect with my VNC server and little else that seemed noteworthy. Nothing that referenced anything to do with USB or USB peripherals.
And, of course, when I rebooted just now (in the hopes of getting a report from all of the logs corresponding to the exact time of the reboot), my Mini started just fine with no freeze up.

Connecting USB Hub doesn't connect some devices (randomly)

I have quite a few USB devices (normally 5: external Apple Modem, mouse, ext. Apple keyboard, 2 printers), which I plug into a USB 2 hub (externally powered D-Link DUB-H7). When I bring my MBP back to my desk, I plug the hub into one of the ports on my MBP.
In theory, this should connect all of my devices. In practice, it connects only some of them, and which ones it connects seems to be completely random. Sometimes just two, sometimes all of them. Sometimes the keyboard and not the mouse, sometimes vice-versa, and sometimes neither (both plug directly into the hub - I'm not using the keyboard hub).
If I unplug and re-plug the main cable - I get another set of devices. If I unplug the cable to an unrecognized device and re-plug, it is then recognized.
As you might imagine, this is a PITA.
I have tried:
- running USB Prober, including logging. This confirms that the non-working devices aren't recognized by the system at all, until I re-plug. The logging doesn't tell me anything that I can make use of.
- installed the debugging USB kext (http://developer.apple.com/hardwaredrivers/download/usbdebug.html). This makes the USB Prober log give more information, but still doesn't tell me anything that helps. If this causes writing to some other log, I can't find it.
- replaced the hub with an identical, brand new hub. No difference.
- replaced the main USB cable with another USB 2 certified cable. No difference.
Looked at the console and system logs. There are some USB-related errors, but nothing unusual happens at the point of connecting the hub. There are msgs from USB Prober, but I get these even when (successfully) unplugging and re-plugging a single device. E.g.

So, any ideas on what this problem is, or how to track it down? The behavior is as if there are two many device-connection events happening in too short a time, and some of them are getting dropped. If so, could be an OS problem. But, that seems pretty basic.
I'd be glad to provide more detailed logs, if someone can specify what to log.

Hi all (esp. Carolyn). I bought a new hub (BelkinUSB 2.0 7-Port Economy Hub http://www.buy.com/prod/belkin-usb-2-0-7-port-economy-hub/q/loc/101/202378584.ht ml ), and my problems are gone.
I did more searching (I had done a lot already), and found a single comment on newegg by someone having similar and worse problems - same D-Link hub, and also on a Mac, though the 2 other Mac users had no complaints.

Some other users of this hub had problems also, on PC's as well, though most had none.
Unfortunately, now I'm stuck w/2 junk hubs (warranty has expired). At least my problems are gone!

Trying to upgrade OS on an original iPad. Screen is locked showing iTunes/USB cable icons. Connected to iTunes and get an error 3014 message stating it cannot be restored and screen is locked in this mode. How do I unlock?

Trying to update OS on an original iPad. Connected to iTunes -- screen is locked showing iTunes/USB cable icons. iTunes says must restore to default settings, but receive an error message 3014 that this cannot be done. Cannot unlock screen to use nor can I update or restore, so iPad not usable at this point. How can I unlock screen so I can use iPad, how do I fix this error? Latest version of iTunes is downloaded and I've followed all the instructions in regard to Windows. I'd at least like to unlock iPad so it can be used. Thanks.

bummer. *Note that if you are actually running iOS 5.1.1, that's it for the iPad 1st Gen.

Hi my iPad 2 charger the one with the USB port and a USB cable doesn't work anymore I've changed fuses even tried a different cable no luck HELP!!!

HEEEELLLLLPPPP MEEE I'm going crazy!

Sounds like you need to restore your Apple TV to factory settings.
See this Apple document:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4367
You will need to use the "Micro USB Cable" to restore it to factory settings.
See the article shown above.
You must unplug the power cord before connecting the ATV to your computer....

I tried updating iphone software and it did not work. It just shows connect to itunes with usb cable on the handset. I have tried for hours to try and turn the hanset off and troubleshoot but nothing works. The connect to itunes display can not be over-ridden.
Please help!!!

Slatebook 14 - USB cable for PC connection / adb development ?

I want to connect a USB cable to the new Slatebook 14 for Android development with adb. A plain USB male A to male A cable does not work, and I see elsewhere that this can damage a system. I see there are USB transfer cables on the market but I suspect they contain active electronics and may not work. Can anyone tell me how to connect to this system for development?

i'm interested the same, i know that for the slatebook 2x hp released a usb cable to connect the slatebook the the pc, maybe it will work the same for the staltebook 14. who knows.

USB cable doesn't work

Now the problem is I can't get my iphone 5 being charged using my USB cable linked to computer or to outlet with adpter. My iphone 5 just arrived in a week and the first one or two days it can work but yesterday I find it can't work now. I have tried my iphone 5 using another iphone 5 usb cable, and it can work.

All package contents included with the iPhone purchase are under Apple's standard one year warranty. If you purchased the AppleCare Plus extended warranty package if available in your country, the warranty is good for two years.
Contact AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby to get a replacement cable under warranty.

Dented ipod, USB cable doesn't fit :S

HELP! I dropped my ipod and the bottom has a dent in it and the USB cable won't fit in, will cost money to have it fixed at the apple store? Or will I have to get a new back??? please reply thanks.

If the store can "bend" the iPod case back, they will only exchange the iPod for refurbished one. The price will be:

Why the micro usb cable doesn't come in the box

When I bought the apple tv the only this that came in the box was the power conector the remote and the apple tv, I been using my apple tv for month or maybe a year and never had a problem, but today when i wake up and tried to turn on the apple tv, it shows that i have to connect the micro usb to my computer to restore. So why when we by the product, if we need that cable why doesn't come with it?

it's one of the most common computer cables out there all smartphones but apples use them for sync and charging
all supermarkets sell them and it's only something you need if something goes very wrong
so it would make much more sense to include a hdmi cable

IPad 3 USB cable doesn't fit flush in back...normal?

I notice when I plug the USB cord into my new iPad 3, it's flush in the front but not in the back. In the back, you can see part of the metal sticking out. Is this normal?
Hard to believe Apple would not create a better-fitting cord for the iPad's sloped design...so I figured I'd ask. Worried I might harm my iPad with a defective cord.

No, it is perfectly fine. The iPad 2 is the same way, along with almost all the iPod Touchs, and the first 3 iPhones if I remember correctly. The reason is so that you can have one cable for the iPad, iPhone, and iPods. Trust me, if you use the cable from your iPad box, it will look the exact same. Nothing to worry about.
