Usb wont fit into port?

hi there, i am having problems connecting the usb cable into my playbook, it only goes in part way and then its like theres something blocking it. my playbook will not charge at all. It was working fine, now all of a sudden its not. any ideas???

Unfortunately, there is no simple answer here or easy fix. It is an alignment issue caused by improper use of the USB cable when charging. There are no mechanisms (either physical or software) on the PlayBook that will suddenly not let you charge the device if proper use was followed. If you feel that rebooting the PlayBook fixed your device, go for it, but I can assure you that it was coincidental.
Something was either inserted wrong or is now bent, broken or limiting the normal action of the cable. If you have tried multiple cables without fixing then you can bet confidently that it is the USB port itself. The only solution at that point is to call technical support and see if you qualify for a hardware warranty RMA and send it in for repairs. Trying to fix it yourself is only asking for problems in my opinion and will definitely invalidate your warranty if you snap a pin off.
When looking at the cable from the "male" charging end you will notice that it has angled corners. These are always to go facing upwards/facing the ceiling when inserting the cable. The "teeth" on the bottom side go downward - always.
If the angled corners face downwards/the ground when inserting the cable then it will cause damage to the port. On an OEM BlackBerry microUSB cable, the BlackBerry B logo will assist you visually and will face upwards when inserting.You can think of it this way, The printed Blackberry logo on the actual bottom bezel of the PlayBook will be closest to the B logo on the microUSB cable - they "match" in a way. If they don't match, you're doing it wrong and risk damage to the port/cable.
If using a non-OEM cable then you will have to check what visible marks represent what is upward facing.

Why won't my usb cords fit into my macbook air usb ports?

I've had my macbook air for three years now and for the past month no usb cable is able to fit into my usb port. it's as if something is blocking it and I'm not sure why.

Use compressed air to blow out any accumulated debris and then gently wipe it down using a Qtip

Just got a new ipad2 , the usb cable to connect wont fit into the charger port` it looks a bit smaller than the ipad1?

just got a new ipad2, the charger cable ( the same cable as ipad1 ) doesnt seem to fit ? i have loads of apple products and the charger is the same on them all ,so whats different? the charge port under the home button looks slightly differant?

I got the same issue with my iPad 2, when I got it on opening day. For some reason, it just didn't accommodate any of my other cords (ipod touch, ipod nano, etc.). Now, though, every one of my cables except for the ipod nano one can fit in it. I think that the iPad needs time to "stretch out" its parts to fit the other cables.

Ethernet cable wont fit into imacs ethernet port.

Hello.
I feel like an idiot.
I have build pc's and have my own network at home.
And for some reason i cant fit my ethernet cable into the imac.
I just bought this imac so its the new g5 w/isight.
The plug only goes half way in and then stops.
I have tried all my cables in the house.
Even the pc and all my networked computers.
Can someone help me.
I love my new imac but i want to hook the new imac to the network.
Thanks
Al

There's always the chance that you could be trying to
plug into the modem port. It's easy to do, as they're
pretty similar in shape. The ethernet port is
typically distinguishable by being a bit larger than
the modem port, though they are rather too similar!
I would have suggested that as well, however this user posted that he has the new iMac with built-in iSight camera. This model does not have a built-in modem.
Additionally, the user claimed that the connector would go in about half-way. If it was a RJ-11 port, an RJ-45 connector would never get that far

Usbs don't fit into usb ports

There are 2 usb ports on my laptop but neither of them fit any of the usb sticks or connectors that I have that fit evey other machine i have used, do i have to use some sort of adaptor?
This question was solved.

Here is the Manual:

Pages 6 and 7 show all the ports. By reference to the pictures and the numbers tell us which ports your usb devices will not fit into. It is "universal serial bus" and is supposed to be just that....universal.

Nothing fits into my MSI ti4200 S-video port !!!

I love my ti4200, but I'm pissed off that the S-video cable that came with the card does not even fit into the S-video port at the back of the card.
It looks like it should fit, but I put as hard as I can and it does not go in. I know it's not upside down either.
I have another S-video cable I bought from radioshack, and that doesn't fit either.
I've heard about some S-video converter? It this something I'm missing?

Ok there... I dunno if you have the similiar card as mine as you didn't state you model of your card...
Well mine is also a Ti-4200TD 4x card model MS 8870...
There are actually two different S-Video Composite cables that comes together with the cards...
Cable 1: Short cable with 1 black RCA out head and 2 yellow RCA in head for TV-In and S-video In... (This is the one that you'll use to connect from the AGP card out... and later connect two the following cable 2.
Cable 2: Long cable with 1 black RCA head at each end. This is the one that you'll hook up with the cable 1 after cable 1 is hooked up to your card...
If you find that both or all the cables that I've mentioned can't be found in your bundle, or that practicaly none of the cables provided in the box has the right head for your VGA card, I supposed that it's time to return to your dealer and exchange for a new set which has the correct bundle...
All the Best... :D !!!

Factory boxed Apple usb cable wont fit in 4S

Hi,
I recently purchased an iPhone 4S while overseas. In the box it came with ear phones, usb wall charger and a usb cable.
The end of the usb cable that is supposed to fit into the iphone won't fit in. On closer inspection I found that one of the two "prongs" doesn't spring back in to allow the charger to slide into the iPhone.
I am looking for advice on what to do. Is this a common problem or has anyone ever encountered it before? Can/should I force back in? I've tried to but worried I will damage it.
I can't bring it back to the store I bought it from

Thanks,
I looked around on the apple support page. My iphone was out of the initial 90 day free tech support but still covered by 1 year warranty.
Not only did they call me, but they are sending me out a replacement for free
(initially on the call they wanted me to return it but due to an error they decided to send it for free)
Appreciate the help!

USB cable no longer fits into iPad.

My USB cable, which came with the iPad, no longer fits into the slot. What do I do now to recharge my iPad?

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any dust or debris.
Use a magnifying glass to examine the iPad's connector and the cable connector. May be a bent pin or the connector wraparound may be dented. If your iPad is in a case, take it out of the case.

Auto Start Up when installing a usb memory stick into a usb port on the computer

Whenever I install a usb memory stick into my computer the Photoshop Album Starter Edition program begins running. How do I stop this from happening?

Phil,
I am not running the Starter Edition, but actually another version. However, since no one else has responded I will post what I think will work for the Starter Edition.
Look in your System Tray at the bottom right of your monitor. You should see a Camera icon that when you move near it will say Adobe Photo Downloader. Right click on the camera icon and you will probably have a choice of Disable - click on it.

Copy music/books from a sansa mp3 to another mp3, as well as onto my MacBook Pro if it fits into the equation. Many thanks.

i have music/books on a sansa mp3. I'd like to copy it to another mp3, as well as onto my MacBook Pro if it fits into the equation. Many thanks.

What happens when you connect your MP3 player to your Mac? Does it show up in finder as an external drive?
If it does you can copy those MP3 file to the Mac hard drive or to another MP3 player connected to the other USB port if it shows up in finder as another external drive.

WD My Book 1 TB External Hard drive firewire cable won't fit into Mac Pro

Hi the firewire cable that came with my Western Digital My book External Hard Drive won't fit into my Quad Core Mac Pro. Is it the wrong cable? What's the correct cable that would connect my Western Digital External Hard Drive into my Quad Core Mac Pro? Any help is greatly appreciated

If you have a port that looks like this one, it's FW400. If it looks like this one it's FW800. If you have one of each it supports both. If you don't have either then it's USB only.

Lightning cable wont stay in Port!

The cable wont fit in seems like the prongs won't allow the wire to stay in! Can't charge the phone and can't get in touch with anyone from Apple... What do I do?

Hello dapak83,
It sounds as though there may be debris in your iPhone's Lightning port. The steps below provide troubleshooting steps that may help.
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge until your device turns on. This could take between 10 and 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue persists, please contact Apple Support.

Hp laserjet pro p1606dm with yosemite with usb wont print but printed on a network

hp laserjet pro p1606dm with Mac Yosemite using a USB wont print. Printed however when used on a network. Downloaded a driver again, though driver already installed. Driver was a dmg file and wouldn't open. Forum told me to use Safari to open a dmg file but that didn't work. Help! Want to use the printer at home that I was using at the office.

Hi @soneighbor ,
I understand that you are having issues printing from a USB connection, but you were able to print by a Wired Network connection. I will certainly do my best to help you.
The drivers for 10.8 are installed by the Apple Updates.
Once the printer is connected by a USB cable directly to the Mac, you should be able to just run the Apple Updates to install the drivers automatically. Installing a Mac Printer Driver Using Apple Software Update.
Delete any of the older drivers first.
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the printer's name. (Laserjet P1606dn)
If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
Try printing again.
If you run into any issue, please do the following:
Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Close all applications.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
Restart the computer..
Reset the Printing System:
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Click the Apple icon and then click System Preferences.
Click Printers & Scanners.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system.
Then click the + sign to add the driver, highlight the printer. (you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name) Then click on the Add button.
Try printing again.
If you are still having any issues, download and install the HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Ipod doesn't fit into dock.....

Hi,
My daughter just bought herself an 4GB Ipod Nano. She tried to connect the ipod to her dock but the ipod doesn't line up with the connection.
There seems to be an adapter for the dock to make the slot bigger, which does fit the ipod, but we can't get this to fit into the dock either.
The instructions don't tell you what to do, nor does anything on Apples web site....these are all Apple accessories and came with the ipod.
Can someone please help?
Thanks
Lynn

The dock is the Ipod Dock
There are three iPod docks. Actually, there are more than that.
You can only use the iPod Universal dock or the 2G iPod Nano dock.
The adapter that comes with the iPod fits in the Universal dock.
The iPod will ONLY fit one way. If it does not fit, you have the wrong dock.
The USB cable plugsd into your computer and then the back of the dock. You put your iPod in as shown below.
This is the iPod 2G Nano dock.

How to save the files to a USB memory plugged into the EVS-1463RT

I am trying to collect images with EVS-1463RT by running a vi. The EVS has LV Real Time v13.0.1 installed. The vi runs well and save images to a folder ('C:\Images\') in the development PC. But, when I deploy the vi to EVS-1463RT, the vi cannot find the directory and nothing is saved in the folder. I am considering to save the files to a USB drive connected to a port on the EVS. Would it be possible to save the image files to a USB memory plugged into the EVS-1463RT? If so, what would be the file path to the USB connector?

Thanks for the information.
Then, the problem becomes where I get this "USB Storage Support". Search in the NI site doesn't tell me much other than something related to LabVIEW Communications System Design Suite. Is that what I need? I am not sure if I have it. If it is not easily available, another option can be using a CompactFlash card as long as I know the file path to use. Thanks.
