USB Cord that comes with Magic Mouse

HI,
I bought a Magic Mouse when they first came out. With it came a USB cord. One end is a normal usb, the other is where a USB would go in it. Except at this end, a normal USB doesnt fit, as it has a bit of metal that is raised up, as though to fit a specific type of USB.
I was wondering if anyone knows what it is actually for and how it works? I have been looking at things and it discusses that it connects to charging stations, but the charging stations for the magic mouse I have seen, have plugs for the wall.
It seems odd to get this cord with the mouse, but it not connecting to the mouse?
Thanks

I don't see why Apple would send a usb coard with a bluetooth mouse. But I purchased a wired keyboard  a while back that came with a coard that fits your discription. I think they raised a bit of the metal up so you could only use the coard as an extension with an apple mouse or keyboard. The Male USB end on myh keyboard has a grove down the center, alowing it to plug into Apple's extension, while still letting it plug into a normal USB port.

  • HT4623 I lost my original USB cord that came with my phone- does that mean I can't update my phone with iTunes?

    I lost the original USB cord that came with my phone. I don't have enough available space on my phone to update wirelessly either and no matter how much I delete I still can't seem to free up enough space to update. I don't know what to do? My phone won't connect to any iTunes.

    You have two options at this point.
    Option 1
    1) Buy another cord and attach to itunes (applestore will have them or you can order them online).
    2) Find another cord to use.
    Option 2
    1) Connect your device to a wifi connection and plug device into a power source.
    2) Backup your device in icloud using: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766.
    3) Erase all content and settings.
    4) Setup as a new iphone (and do not restore from backup).
    5) Your phone should now be completely blank.
    6) software update over wifi.
    7) Setup your phone and restore from icloud backup.
    8) Gratz your running the latest version.

    Yes, I've been using it for months. And I can charge other devices with it. (my iPhone) but something weird just happened..... I kept on pluging it in the iPod and sometimes it would start to chàrge then sometimes it won't charge. Charges every time with the iPhone though.

  • Is the 30 pin conector usb cable that comes with the ipad the same that comes with the iphone?

    Hi
    Recently I've try to charge mi iPad 3er gen. with the usb cable 30 pin that comes with the iPhone 4S (original) via my MacBook Air, but when I had plug it into the usb port, my iPad started to make like repetitive sounds (charging, not charging sounds) and  iTunes dont recognized the ipad, I was worried, so I disconnected the cable and tried it with the same that comes with my iPad and works fine, I am thinking that the usb cable from my iPhone is damaged or something, but i want to know, from the experience that some of you would have, if this is right or wrong.
    Thank you so much.

    Yes ur probably best to charge your iPad with the supplied iPad charger some laptops don't have enough grunt to charge the iPad if it does the charging may be slow

  • My USB cord that came with my iphone 5 stopped working, is that covered under my iphone 5 1 year warranty?

    Cord will not work with charger or computer. This is the same one that came with my iphone 5 and I still have my one year warranty. Where do I have to go and submit a claim? I've tried online and always get an error when I try submitting it.

    All package contents are included with the one year warranty.
    Call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

  • I have a mac book pro that both USB ports have stopped working one about a year ago and one recently. Is it possible to connect to another one of the other MBP's  ports with a cord that ends with a USB port?

    I have a mac book pro that both USB ports have stopped working one about a year ago and one recently. Is it possible to connect to another one of the other MBP's  ports with a cord that ends with a USB port?

    Thank you For your time and thoughts!
    I went by the Apple Store and they told me that there was a "Flat Rate" repair service for this particular part where they would replace the logic board along with the USB ports for $350. Seems like best avenue. All of this would have been moot but my wifi in the computer also doesn't work so I was using my phone as a hot spot and tethering it to the computer for Internet access when the last port quit. This left me with no internet and no printing capabilities on the computer I use for my business. Basically became a nice paperweight. lol
    They will ship it off Monday and I should have it back Thursday!
    Again, thank you!

    Mine was bought last year and they were not; it they don't say "rechargeable". they're not. I started to use rechargeable as soon as the original batteries died.

  • Does the one year warranty that comes with my phone cover the charging cord ?

    I have an iphone 4S and the charging cord that came with the phone has stopped working. I was wondering if the one year warranty that i have for my phone covers the charging cord ?

    if the cable is damaged you will need any way another one, so call Apple and ask for replacement and in case they recieve the Cable and they find out that it's covered they will bill you and then you will see that the deposit is less expensive then to buy new Cable

  • Types of batteries compatible with Magic Mouse

    Hi There,
    Recently I bought a magic mouse, and till now it has been amazing. But as all users, I too face serious battery drain issue with magic mouse, but I think its worth its usage .
    So I thought to switch to couple of rechargeable batteries for my magic mouse after reading some threads here. But now I have got a doubt. I read the magic mouse user guide and it says :
    +You can use alkaline, lithium, or rechargeable AA batteries in your mouse.+
    So My doubt is that whether I can use rechargeable Nickel Cadmium(Ni-Cd) batteries or not? Also what all kind of batteries are compatible with magic mouse?

    Hi zulficarr
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you have Nickel Cadmium(Ni-Cd) batteries they will work just fine, however if you shopping for rechargeable's the NiMH batteries are better and last longer.

    Also note that the Apple Store sells a Battery Charger with 6 NiMH batteries.
