USB Cable Extension?

OK, while at the office, I cannot hook my iPod USB charger cable to the PC (PC is THAT old). If I buy a USB extension to put between the iPod cable and the AC wall adapter, will it still work OK?
I want to be able to plug it in when watching video at the office.

Absolutely!

  • IMac can't read data through 32' USB Active Extension / Repeater Cable

    My iMac doesn't seem to be able to read data through my 32' USB Active Extension / Repeater Cable. The cable is brand new, and it works flawlessly to connect my Microsoft Kinect Sensor to my Xbox 360, so I don't think the cable is the problem. Does anyone know how I might solve this issue?
    Here is the cable I am using:
    32ft 10M USB 2.0 A Male to A Female Active Extension / Repeater Cable (Kinect & PS3 Move Compatible Extension)

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Have you researched allowed USB cable length for computer connections? I just bought an extension and that cable carried the warning that USB lengths greater than 10 ft were not supported by most computer systems for device connection.
    Just talked with a computer support person at work who said he had never heard of anyone being able to use a cable that long. Can you get closer to your computer and use a shorter cable?
    As an addendum, read this article, says you cannot use that length cable:

  • Using Apple USB Keyboard Extension Cable for Power

    I have a USB keyboard extension cable. Part number is 591-0079. Can I use that to extend the power cable for my iPad when it is plugged in? Can I also use it for my iPhone?
    I wanted to check first to make sure because it predates the iPad and the iPhone.
    Thanks any advance.

    So there won't be any problems transferring power through it? It will charge iPad and iPhone without any trouble?

  • Kernel Panic when I connect USB cable to use Rane Serato SL3

    Connect USB cable to use Rane Serato SL3 causes the following kernel panic. Used cable is an 5 meter USB-2 cable. This is 100% reproducable.
    Yes yes I know Rane does not officially support Mavericks yet however if I use another (shorter) USB-2 cable with the Rane Serato SL3 it's no problem. I also have an older Rane Serato SL1 and this device works (USB-1) perfect with the same 5 meter USB-2 cable and the same short USB-2 cable.
    I've taken the liberty to ask Rane what's going on and no succes there. They just don't seem to know.
    So you smart people over here, what's going on?  
    Here is the Kernel Panic:

  • Can i use an extented usb cable to recharge my ipad ?

    Hello !
    I just bought iPads for my business. I want to use it with stands and i'm looking for a way to recharge it. I bought a 5m extended usb cable, plugged it and the ipad made a sound like if it was recharging but then, it says, "not charging" !
    How can i charge it ? Any ideas ? It seems that this 5m cable is useless...
    Thank you !

    Ok, i see...
    But the thing is that i'm going to use it on a stand. The Apple charger doesn't go inside the tube of the stand so i need an usb extension...
    I tried with my phone (Nexus 4), it worked !
    Here is a plan as yours of what i need :
    iPad-----Lightning/USB inside the tube------------Extended USB cable----------Apple charger-------(eventually a classic electrical cord extension if i need it longer)---------Wall.

  • Blue Screen On eMac From Generic USB cable for a digital camera?

    I recently got a digital camera from a friend and ordered a $2 usb cable to upload my pics. it uploaded them fine but the next time i started my computer i got a blue screen with only the mouse curser on it. i unplugged the cable and tried to start it again and it worked but then it froze again. now every time i start it ( with all the cables unplugged except for the mouse and key board ) it goes to the blue screen.

    If you boot in Safe Mode and open Applications/Utilities/Console, can you view the logs (e.g. system.log, CrashReporter logs, panic.log, etc.) looking for events tagged at the time of one of the blue screen starts? Look for indications that the eMac was trying to load some library or start some service, and never came back from that.
    How did you upload the pictures from the camera? Did you use a Mac program iPhoto or Graphic Converter or the like, manually drag the photos in the Finder, or did you use camera software? That you can boot in Safe Mode (which disables third-party drivers) but not normally raises the possibility that camera-specific software installed incompatible drivers onto your hard drive. Not that all camera manufacturer software is suspect by any means (Kodak EasyShare works OK on my eMac, for instance), put it's possible some third-party software written for Intel Macs would install itself on your PPC eMac.
    If you did use third-party camera software, you have some options. Check the camera manufacturer's website and see if there's a updated installer for the software, especially one for your OS version, and most especially if there are different PPC and Intel versions. If you find a more recent or more PPC-specific version, download that onto CD-R and install it on the eMac after booting in Safe mode.
    Another option: boot in Safe Mode, and look for anything you can be certain was installed by the camera software. Look for manufacturer/model name and/or install date. Look at the root level of your hard drive in the Library and System/Library folders, since the eMac is going to blue screen before you ever get to the login prompt (note: if your eMac is set up to automatically log you you, extend the search to your home directory Users/yourname/Library folder as well). Besides searching by name (command-F) on the hard drive, you can manually inspect folders to spot things that may not occur to you to plug into the search box. Some places to look:
    /Library/Application Support
    /Library/Extensions
    /Library/PreferencePanes
    /System/Library/Extensions
    /System/Library/Contextual Menu Items
    You can move suspect software to a holding folder (don't delete anything yet!) and then see if a normal start will work.

  • IPod Touch question about  Firewire and USB cable

    I just bought a USB 2.0 extension cable on ebay to charge my 64 GB iPod Touch. I also bought a USB wall socket that I was going to plug the extension cord in to (I haven't received the wall socket yet). Come to find out when testing the extension cord on my laptop I get the message " charging is not supported with this accessory". I thought that was the case only with firewire cables. But this is supposed to be USB 2.0 What's the deal? Can a firewire cable look like a regular USB cable? And does anyone have a work around that I can use?

    I realized yesterday that I had another USB wall jack which I use at work to charge my IPT. I took it home with me plugged it into the wall and tried to charge the IPT without the USB extension cord, and it worked fine. When I connected the USB extension cord, I got the same message, "Charging is not supported with this accessory." I'm so frustrated. Mainly because I don't understand what is causing this issue and therefore don't know how to remedy it. I would buy another extension cord, but I don't know if that one will work either.
    Here is the link to the USB extension cord that I purchased on ebay:

  • When I try to connect a USB cable a message appears on the screen

    When I try to connect a USB cable a message appears on the screen saying that one or more USB devices are consuming to much energy and due to this the USB port were deactivated.
    What should I do to solve this problem?
    Do not forget is only a merely USB cable from a texas calculator, I have experienced to with an USB extension, and the same problem appears, I have tried to connect directly a USB memory stick and the IMAC do not recognise is presence, or appears thesame mesage as with the cable.

    Updated information:
    I have perfomed as rkaufmann87 instruct me but without any success.
    Then I made some more tests:
    I have tried to connect three diferent types (Ipad usb cable; TI-Nspire CX CAS usb cable and an ordinary extension usb cable) of usb connectors cables and all of them with the same behaviour.
    Viewing the IMAC from backside and looking to the usb ports from the left to the rigth the behaviour of the USB ports are diferent.
    the two first more to the left when we try to connect a USB cable, a message appears on the screen, sayng that USB devices are consuming to much energy and due to this the USB port were deactivated (This is more or less the translation from Portuguese language).
    The ones more to the rigth nothing happens, simply are dead, no message and no charge the IPAD, no connect the USB stick.
    I really need yuor support, this IMAC is from November 2012.

  • USB Cable short length & Why earphone is white??

    Yesterday i have purchased Xperia M2 Dual, and i am really disapointed to see USB cable length and White Colored Earphone, in Indian home generally we have switch board at 2 to 3 feet height from the floor level, and due to short length of the USB cable i am facing problem that where to fix cell phone while charging, i am using stool now and thats why its quite tuff to charge the cell phone, so why Sony's R&D team is not thinking this,  Another problem i found about earphone, i think more then 80% people on the globe like to use Black colored electronic instrument same as me, and thats why i choose Black colored M2 Dual, then why Earphone is White?? how its looks, Black Cell phone and white earphone??? not so good color combination,  Please sony think about this, i am really disapointed. 

     I don't want to antagonize you at all, but after reading your post, it seems that you want the product to be tailored to you. The length of the cable it's standard, there are longer micro USB cables available in the market, or extensions, as for the color of the headphones that vary per region, even phones in the same country could contain different items.  But make sure to contact Sony directly as this is a user based forum. http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/contactUs/

    It worked thanks to other posts but little thanks to Apple who cost me £1.05 by not answering my call.

    I have now solved my tethering problem - I didnt need to use terminal.
    I downloaded the kext utility, unzipped it and put the .app file into my applications folder, then I dragged the kext file from my laptop (AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext   version 2.3.0)
    The utility replaced the one that itunes 10.7 must have installed or modified into a backup folder and installs  the one from my laptop where I was still on itunes 10.6.3 and it has the same permissions as the other files in that folder system/library/extensions
    I rebooted and plugged my iphone in via the usb charger/data cable and immediatly the system put up a window stating:
    A new interface has been detected
    the "iphone USB" network interface has not been set up.  To set up this interface use network preferences"
    I then clicked the blue button NETWORK PREFERENCES
    This showed the iphone in NOT CONNECTED status so I clicked on ASSIST me and just keep going, you will notice the red dot beside the iphone changing to orange (no IP address) then it changes to green and all is well!!
    Thanks a million to Hibernian56 and whoever made kext-utility!!
    No thanks to apple for not testing their software properly and wasting my time with hours of reading online!!!
    Im on 10.6.8 on both machines
    The problem with the kext file that was updated by itunes 10.7 was that the machine no longer detected the iphone thru the usb cable.  Thanks to the other users on here its now fixed!  ;-)

  • 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.

  • How do I use my iphone 4S wifi on my laptop via USB cable

    Hi with my HTC when I connected it to my laptop via USB cable a list of options came up on my phones screen and one of them was to tethering. But when I do the same with my iPhone no options come up on my screen, so how do I use my iPhones wifi on on my laptop useing a USB cable?
    Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
    My laptop runs on windows vista and my iPhone 4s has the latest updates.

    I want to use my home wifi signal to tether my iPhone to my laptop via USB ,as my laptops wifi card is broken. It worked ok with my old HTC desire as when I can extend it to my laptop it had a list os options of what you wanted to do and one of them was tethering, as I'm useing my home wifi I don't need to worry about my data usage. But thank you for responding.

  • How do i recover ipod touch screen with usb cable and arrow to itunes

    ipod touch 3 has usb cable and w pointing to iTunes.  Can't get it to recovery or restore

    Connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    If necessary:
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:                                                             
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
