Why does no one make this cable?

Common problem: If you have your iPhone in a case, you won't be able to dock it to external speakers.
A simple solution would be an extension cable, 30-pin female to 30-pin male. I finally found one made by CableJive, which I bought from Radtech. However, it won't work because I'm using an Otterbox Defender case (which is excellent), and the case is designed to accept an Apple cable. While the electronics probably work, the plastic piece that surrounds the female end, which should be able to plug into the iPhone is not the same shape as the original Apple part, so it interferes with the case. It makes no sense to my why CableJive, who must know that their product will be almost exclusively used with iPhones and iPods, would shape that piece differently than Apple did.
I have no confidence that a second party product will work. I will probably use the original Apple cable on the iPhone end, but it's a male USB on the other end. Now, I have to figure out how to convert a male USB to a 30-pin female.
Can anyone help me?

Hi Dan,
I have a competitor to the Cablejive: the Sendstation Dock Extender, and am trying to use that with an Otterbox Defender case. This Dock Extender also has excess plastic that interferes with it connecting to my iphone with the Otterbox case. Can you please give me details about how you filed off the corners of your extender?
Thanks,
Nancy

Why does the iPad make the same noise when it connects to a charger that doesn't charge it as one that will charge it???

Why does the iPad make the same noise when it connects to a charger that doesn't charge it as one that will charge it???
I would expect that it would make an unusual noise if plugged into a generic USB charger that does not have enough oomph to charge a pad to alert you - otherwise, you might think the noise is reassuring that you are actually charging it.

I guess my question was actually more of a comment on the (lack of) design! It is unusual that something like this would still be in an Apple product. There are wall chargers that have a USB port on them that do not have the required oomph to charge the iPad. I have one that has two USB ports, one for my iPhone (it won't charge an iPad), and one for an iPad with greater amperage rating. I accidentally used the wrong ones for a while yesterday, but noticed before being "surprised" the next morning by an uncharged iPad. The iPad is smart enough to say "Not charging" by the battery icon when it is plugges in to one of these, so it "knows" - seems like it would be fairly simply to have the iPad make a different or additional noise wehn it puts up the "Not charging" text icon. Failsafe user experience?

You can try cleaning the headphone jack. However, I suspect that th headphone jack needs replacement.

If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

This problem has been reported a few times. The solution is to install any new App say a free one. This seems to fix whatever has gone wrong.

Why does no one care about loyal customers???

I canNOT believe that I have to take this issue to the top of the company! I ask for one thing after being a customer for more than a decade. I ordered 3 new phones for them - we decided to keep 2 and exchange the 3rd in this 2 week deceptive no worry time period. I spoke with customer service over and over ad nauseum. finally after the time had expired and there was still no resolution - I was told that i had the phone more than 2 weeks. Of course I had!!!! I called in almost every day during that allotted period and kept getting passed around to supposed supervisors but really God only knows where. Finally I was told that I would be getting a new phone via mail and could simply send the original back once it arrived. After about 1 week I phoned in as the phone had yet to arrive. All of the sudden there was nothing they could do - who did I speak with - what exactly did they say to you... i explained the entire situation over and over day after day. I felt pathetic. But I thought for sure that they would do the right thing. By this time it had been over a month. The most frustrating thing - the phone I want to send back was not as nice as the one I ordered. It had 4G and was brand new - I wanted the iphone 4 not even the 5 just the 4 (that was the make and model of the 2 other in my order)! I did not realize at the time that the apple version of a phone would benefit me more as being a Special Education teacher all of our equipment is of this company, I told more than one employee via telephone that I have 2 ipads for my classroom. They have great apps to serve students with special needs. Budgets being what they are a few of my assistance allow the children to use their phones so more students can have access. Even with this they still said no - seriously - NO! I could not believe it so I headed up the management chain. I finally stalled when I came in contact with a woman name LUCY! She lead me on for weeks that she would be able to fix the problems and apologized. Great, right? NOPE - she finally called back and said she was unable to locate the correct documentation of my phone calls to Verizon and that it was my fault. She actually blamed me for the poor documentation. As if what I was supposed to ask them to send me a copy of what they wrote? She then tried to blame it on APPLE and not verizon. I have never been so disgusted. I am still trying to have them make this right and for the foreseeable will continue to do so. I dont know why but I actually feel betrayed - like how dare you do this to me - but then thankfully for rational side kicks in reminding me this is just business - bad business - but business. And now I realize thanks to Lucys pathetic attempts to justify her poor skill at service that I have become nothing but a case number - not even a name. It is infuriating! Hundreds of dollars a month for more than a decade - and this is how they treat loyalty. Who ever if anyone actually reads these - FIX IT!!!

Part of the way Verizon makes its money is by dragging out issues like this so you are stuck with the phone you originally purchased. That is one reason why I do NOT buy anything from Vreizon Online or over the phone. I will go to either the corporate store or even lately a very trustworthy Third Party Reseller (actually have much better service here than anything Verizon)
That said what I would do is the following.
Contact Customer Relations (not customer service)
Contact the BBB (although they will not do much for you but it will log a complaint for Verizon)
Contact The Federal Trade Commission (they do not like false advertising or cases where the company tries to drag thing beyond the specified trade time)
If nothing gets resolved there, go to a third party reseller and find out the following
1) if they have any slightly used iPhone 4's for sale. My local Third Party reseller usually has a few for under $200
2) ask the third party reseller if they can in fact sell the phone you are trying to change here as they can probably get you the 200 back or close to it
3) Tell all of your friends and co workers about your issues with Verizon so they do not get sucked into the trap as well.
As a side note, I have a ton of respect for what you do and will help any way possible including checking my local third party reseller that I now exclusively use to see if they have one they can do. I will put you into contact with them or whatever is necessary. I have a son in the Special Ed Program now for the last 12 years and the program has changed his life completely and I owe that to the dedication of the teachers.

Why does 3Dmark05 give me this error?

This is a version I got off Limewire and its not full retail. Its only a demo. Got this error:
IDirect #DDevice9:Present failed:Device lost(D3DERR_Divice Lost)
I have the latest drivers off the Nvidia website. What gives? Never used 3d05 before, but I was just testing my new ASUS hybrid card with various benchmarks to make sure things seem to be running right. I do get a posted score in 3dmark05, even though it kicks me out and zaps my screen temporarily to 800X600. 3dmark05, after clicking the ok buttun after the error message posts my score 3,106 which seems about right seeing that I have a slower system.
So far I have only benched this card, havent played any games for more then ten minutes. graphics seem better.Im not seeing the improvements in Far Cry that I though I would get from a 6800GT on full settings. I know this is a DDR128, but I just though things would be a smoother. Clarity is much better then the 9800pro and this card runs suppringly cool that 6600GT I tested was dangerously hot and I didnt want anything that hot in my case.
I dont think there is anything wrong with the card. I tested a 6600GT the other week and the this 6800GT hybrid did get me from 43K to 46K on Aquamark3. My 9800pro was at 41K with a slight overclock.....maybe I try some Farcrytests to see if that shows anything...
BTW I just was going to tell you have the latest drivers and was going to post the version, because after I got the card up and running I downloaded the latest from Nvidia. Why does my Display Adapter when I click on properties say "7/9/2004" version "6.2.1.1"?....Now when I ran the driver update, it said it was updating the drivers and the drivers name they were version 9/13/05?

>It sounds like the version you got may be damaged. I would try getting the download directly from futuremark. The link >to download it is http://www.futuremark.com/download/?3dmark05.shtmlQuote
I tried it with another version of 3Dmark05 and got the same error. I also noticed it does it during the CPU test where it tries to make the CPU think its a GPU. I found this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/archive/default.asp?url=/archive/en-us/directx9_c/directx/graphics/programmingguide/gettingstarted/devices/lostdevices.asp
I also checked around the net. Seems like there are two reasons for this "lost" error. A resident program pissing 3dmark05 or a voltage issue....I havent had any problems with my system and only have then with 3dmark05. This is with a new version of 3dmark05 and newest drivers installed after Driver Cleaner. SO I still dont know whats up....Again it only does it durring the CPU test for 3Dmark05 and in particular always errors out right when the monster is emerging from the water During the zepplin test.

>As far as the jump is scores, that does not seem like enough going from the 9800 to the 6800. I was able to play >FarCry on my machine will ultra settings with my 9800 (but no anti-aliasing or ansiotropic filtering). And only going from >41k to 46k with aquamark also seems low. Did you use a drivercleaner to fully remove your ATI drivers? If not I would >remove both the NVidia drivers and get the cleaner and clean both ATI and NVidia drivers off of the system and >reinstall your NVidia drivers.Quote
In my previous post I noted that I was only using the ASUS drivers dated 4/05. Well I went back and used Driver Cleaner then tested. The scores were about the same, but gameplay and visuals were much smoother as I would expect from a card like this. I though that was odd given I had pretty much the same scores(meaning Aquamark stayed the same and 3dmark went up about 300 points). I then went back to Nvidias site and got the newest drivers and they loaded right this time
Aquamark: increased 1,000 overal to a solid 47,000-47,500 (I was getting 41K with 9800pro,XTbios OC)
3dmark03: 9608 (from 9137)
3dmark05: same score no changes (as noted above still errors out at CPU test)
Thanks for the input I am VERY happy to be running solid 47000-47500 Aquamarks where as before I was runnign 45500-46000 with driver issues. I not as familiar with 3dmark scores and how the differences pan out when playing games. But you mentioned that My scored seemed low. Is this 47,500 more like what you thought? Also remember the card that I have is a 16,6 6800 GT but has 1ddr128. In this review this guy only gets for 3Dmark03 10,290(vs my 9,608) but he has a 64 bit system. In another review using 3Dmark05 the guy gets 3,838 vs my 4,060 Here the card with some scores:
http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/gffx/nv40-11.html
http://www.ap0calypse.com/showthread.php?t=1287
Things of note:
1.) Graphics seemed less chopy by just using driver cleaner, but scored stayed about the same.
2.) After gettting the latest drivers too. Aquamark showed a significant change, yet 3d05 stay the same
3.) Question Driver Cleaner said to "empty the recycle bin" while in safe mode. I couldnt do this. How do I do that?
4.) All this with the 1.3 Far Cry patch makes the game much nicer. I can do Full Blast settings, but there is some screen rippple every 15 seconds or so. Not to bad, But not flawlwss like a 64 bit system.
