USB Cable for Target Mode

After experiencing video problems, the mother board on my 2002 ibook was replaced by Apple at no cost, but now has failed again. I have read in mac forums it's possible to access the hard drive of my headless ibook by connecting it to my new MacBook with a firewire and booting the ibook in Target Mode. However, my new MacBook only has USB ports and not a firewire port. Could the same thing be achieved with an USB A to USB A cable?

Could the same thing be achieved with an USB A to USB A cable?
No. The only thing I've seen which might work is to use this component and a FireWire ExpressCard.

    I recently bought a new i-pod 3rd gen and used my USB cable for the i-pod classic 80 GB which seemed to be working fine.But after when I tried to use the original USB cable for the i-pod nano it wouldn't connect to the i-pod.
    Does anyone know whether it is OK to use the cable for the i-pod classic and why the original cable does not fit with my i-pod nano?

  • NEEDED "Hot Sync USB Cable for Palmone Zire 31 PDA"

    I am looking for a Hot Sync USB Cable for a Palmone - Zire 31 PDA. I have searched the internet up and down yet, all places I've browsed are either out of stock or the item is out dated. Yes, I know that I've had it since 2005 but it is still in perfect working condition and I'm not going to rock the boat and buy an updated one when I have one already.
    If there is someone out there who can assist me with locating the above referenced cable please let me know.

  • USB cable for Nokia 620

    I was about to order online a USB cable for my Nokia Lumia 620 when I noticed that it is described as a " USB A Type connector to Micro B connector". On checking the Nokia spect sheet there is no mention, as far as I can see, of an "A" or a "B" in the notes describing each end of the cable required (presumably). Can you please advise?    
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Sorry, I have found a "B" mentioned re the Micro end but am still wondering about the "A" in relation to the USB end. I hope someone can advise me. Thanks.

  • Can I use the same USB cable for both the iPhone and the iPad?

    Brnad new user of the iPad - can I use the same USB cable for both the iPhone and the iPad?  The iPad does not charge when plugged into the computer or the wall (110V) adapter.  I've been able to sync in iTunes using the same cable on both.

    Actually, the iPad charger works just fine with iPhones and iPods.  The iPod/iPhone charger will charge an iPad very slowly but no harm will be done.

  • Are the usb cables for the iPad 2 and iPhone 4s interchangeable?

    Can I use my usb cable provided by my ipad 2 to connect my iPhone 4s to my iMac or vice versa. I noticed the usb cable for the iPad 2 is slightly thicker. Doesn't it mean it's better or faster in terms of transmission of data? Thank you.

    Identical cables.

  • Missing USB cable for MuVo S

    I was wondering if there was any way to obtain a new USB cable for the MuVo Slim without purchasing a whole new MP3 player (I lost mine a while back). It's frustrating not having it as I can no longer upload new audio files to the MP3 Player, nor can I recharge the battery (only charges when plugged into PC). After discovering that it was a USB 2.0 cable I found that one of the connectors was smaller than that of any other USB 2.0 device I could find, so I can't even use the cable for another device.
    Anyone know where to buy one (either internet/UK shop) ?

    This should be what you're looking for.
