USB cable stuck in ipod

This may seem strange - I put the cable in at the bottom of the ipod and connected to the pc. The ipod charged and transfered music. However, when I finally wanted to disconnect the cable it remained stuck in the ipod as if locked. It does not want to budge.
Does anyone have a clue to this mystery?

Are you pressing the release catches at the side of connector before trying to pull the cable out? There are little teeth in the dock connector to lock it in place so it doesn't get pulled out accidentally.

    I just bought an ipod touch 4th generation recently, found that it is very difficult to plug and unplug the USB cable from my ipod. Does anyone have this problem?

    Some of the Dock connector cables have very small buttons on the rounded adge of the plug, which need to be pushed in to release the plug from the iPod. Look at the picture below, do you notice the "button" on the white connector edge? There's one on the other edge too and they both need to be pressed in to release the "evil looking spike" sticking out of the grey edge.
    The shorter plugs (that I've seen) do not have the release mechanism, the plug simply pulls out.

  • Do usb cables from older ipods work with the ipod touch?

    I have several older OEM usb cables from older ipods, but they don't seem to want to fit into my new Touch.  I don't want to break it.  The body of the end that goes into the unit is smaller than the old ones.  Have the plugs changed?

    Never mind.I found the same question answered several other times.  Thanks, folks!

  • Can I use the USB cable of my ipod nano with my iPhone 3G?

    Hi,
    I am a new user of Apple. I have a ipod nano and a iPhone 3G. I wonder if I can use the USB cable for the ipod nano with my iPhone 3G. Just want to make sure if it is 100% compatible. Thank you very much.

    Thank you very much!

  • USB Cable Stuck?

    I just received my new iPod Nano, 3rd generation today. I've had two iPods before, and have never had problems with the USB cable. I plugged it in and transferred all my songs onto it, and ejected it properly. I unplugged the one end from my laptop, and now that I go to unplug the end from the iPod, I realize it doesn't have any buttons on the side to release the little arms that keep the USB locked in place! I can't get the USB out! Am I missing something here? Is there some other button somewhere to release it? I'm going to be pretty angry if this is a manufacturing error, and if I have to send it back! Please help!

    The newer USB cables as supplied with your nano don't have buttons on the side to push to release the cable any more - just grab the plug firmly and pull until it comes out of the dock connector port. If your iPod is new then it may be a bit stiffer to pull out the first few times but the more you use it the easier it gets!

  • E66 USB cable stuck to phone

    Hi, I need urgent help. I just bought my e66 today. I tried to setup the pc suite software by connecting my pc to the phone via the USB cable. But when I tried to unplug the USB cable connected to the phone it got stuck. I don't want to pull it out by force. I don't think that I connect the cable to the phone wrong, because I didn't jam it in and the pc suite can detect the phone and all. Is it possible to plug the USB cable wrongly? Because I noticed that the USB cable had a specific shape, that match with the phone port or else it won't get plug. Am i missing something? Is there a specific method to unplug the cable? I read the manual, but it didn't write much on USB cable connection. Please give some tips or ways to solve this.

    The cable should just pull out. There is no button to press or anything else like that.

  • Usb cable not connecting ipod touch and iTunes

    when i connect my ipod touch using usb cable with mac..itunes is not detecting it..even itouch is not charging..what should i do?

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

  • USB cables and Photo iPods

    I just dropped close to $500 on an 60gig Photo iPod, apple care, dock and accessories yesterday. The USB cable I got with the unit doesn't seem to work. When I change the cable to the firewire cable I still have from my 3rd gen iPod everything works fine.
    Is anyone else having this problem?

    Be sure your cable is plugged into the USB 2.0 port. Not sure if all the USB ports on the G5 are USB 2.0, but on the iMac, only 1 out of the 3 is USB 2.0. The iPod will only charge/work on the USB 2.0 port.

  • Dual FW USB cable w/5G iPod

    one of my co workers will sell me a older dual USB/Firewire cable.
    does anyone know if these are USB 2 or USB 1?
    thanks,
    Spencer

    does anyone know if these are USB 2 or USB 1?
    Cables themselves are rarely, if ever, USB 1.1 or USB 2.0. They're just USB cables. It's typically up to the computer and attached device to determine the USB version/speed.

  • Charge iPod with the USB cable

    When I connect my iPod to a computer whithout iTunes installed, I get a new drive in windows. But on my iPod I get symbol in the display that says that I should not remove the cable before I disconnect the iPod in windows.
    In this case the iPod charge until I disconnect the iPod in windows.
    When I use iPod with my computer where iTunes is installed, I can press the Eject iPod button in iTunes and the iPod still get power from the USB cable, and the iPod still charge.
    Is there any software so can do the same job as in the iTunes for eject iPod? Beacuse then I can charge the iPod with only the usb cable and still listen to the music.

  • IPod says "FireWire not supported" when connecting with a USB cable

    Hello all. First post ever. I am trying to connect my Nano (1 gig) to my Windows Vista. (This use to work flawlessly) Whenever I try to connect my iPod to my computer via a USB cable, it says "FireWire connections are not supported please use USB cable provided blah blah..." It is strange because I have never used anything but a USB cable with my iPod. I've tried everything, resetting via Menu + select, putting it in Disk mode. Seperate PC's including an XP PC. Anyone ever had this happen to them? Please help!!
    Thank you,
    Ben Roughan

    This message appears to be a hardware issue, and cannot be fixed; the iPod likely needs to be replaced.
