What does this 30-pin Apple cable, with a hashed "Y" symbol, do?
I was excited to find this Apple cable in my brother's old room at my parents house. I'm in desperate need of a charge and my 5,000th charger just broke. The one end fits perfectly into my iPhone 4 (think it's called a 30-pin?) but the other end is too thick & short for both my electrical plug adapter & the laptop's USB. It has the Apple symbol on the one side and the other side has a sort of hash-line "Y" symbol. There's a little open circle mid-Y (at the point where the two branches meet forming the base of the V) and the right branch is a blackened in rectangle...Help! Please tell me I can use this random cable to charge my iPhone! And thanks for any input!
That is a FireWire cable used for early iPods. It will not charge your iPhone.
You won't damage anything if you plug it in to a FireWire port though. Your iPhone will just say "Charging is not supported with this accessory."

What does "this device is already associated with an Apple ID" mean?
Trying to download a purchased movie to my device and got this message.
Did you use another Apple ID to download earlier?
Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days.

i compressed a file which is "com.apple.ImageCaptureNotifications.DeviceDiscoveryDatabase.501" to zip still couldn't open it and it is not possible to permanently delete it, so what is it? which folder does it belong to? how could i have gotten it?
My guess by the name is that it is a database of image capture notifications for the first user of the Mac (501).
If it is a database, it would likely open with sqlite3. If you don't know anything about databases, then just opening it with sqlite3 won't get you far. -
TS1424 What does this page have to do with error code 8003 and not being able to empty trash?
I did a search for help and this is where I keep landing. But I can open the iTunes Store site just fine, even though I never do.
Lastly while at the AT&T Store and
with this guy, I explained that I am in need of a
cellular telephone for work and he said that "I can
take my iPhone SIM card out and put it into my old
telephone (which is a Treo 650) if I need service
back or to use a cell phone in the meantime". Won't
this delay the activation of the iPhone though and
how would an iPhone SIM work in a treo 650 anyways?
AFAIK the SIM that comes with the iPhone is nothing out of the ordinary...just a new SIM card with AT&T livery. I am in the same boat as you and your wife, but I removed the SIM from the iPhone and am using it in my Treo650 until they can sort this out because I need a phone...period. So it does in fact work if you wish to do it.
I have no idea about the rumor that the iPhone must remain docked/online during this process nor do I know if using the new SIM in an old phone is elongating things. My guess is that neither is true and the delay is being caused by a MASSIVE onslaught of activity upon AT&T's mainframe.

Apple logo with settings gear? What does this mean?
Apple logo with settings gear? What does this mean?
If you decide to Restore the iPhone Firmware with iTunes, then do this with a DFU Mode Restore.
DFU Mode Restore:
Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Hold both the Home and Power Buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release the Power button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds more time. If the iPhone screen is black, this is DFU Mode, Restore the Firmware. -
I want a song purchased on my ipad with my apple id downloaded onto our home mac mini. So i can listen to it via that computer. However the mac is registered to my husbands apple id and it comes up with a message about 90days wait needed or something. What does this mean? And how do I get one measly song downloaded?!
Welcome to the Apple Community.
It sounds like you are trying to change your login in the Tunes store through iTunes on your computer, which you can only do once in 90 days, which you don't need to do for this.
What does your iPad usually sync with. -
I have downloaded music to my phone through my Apple ID and it has this message that reads you can download purchases on this device with one Apple ID account every ninety days, what does this mean and how do I fix it?
Well, it doesn't mean that at all. You can download music purchased with an Apple ID to up to 10 devices. There is no 90 day wait. The wait is if you change the Apple ID.

i have a screen with the apple logo on it and a bar underneath it. it has been this way for about an hour now. what does this mean and is there a way to reset the iphone without going into the store? it isnt showing in my computer or on the itunes page.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -
