Why Does The Lightning Cable Charge Faster?

I have upgraded from a iPhone 4 (That just had its battery replaced) to a iPhone 5S (yay ) and i have noticed that my 5S charges A LOT faster than my 4 did. When i had my 4 the "fast battery charge" was a sign that the battery was going bad, i know this can't be it on my iPhone 5S because my friends 5S does the same thing, she has noticed there is a difference in the charge time as well. Can i please have some technical answer to this? Throw it at me in any form you want, i just want to know why it does this!

False perception. If there are speed enhancements it is the iPhone and not the cable.

TS2634 Why does every lightning cable that I connect to my iPad eventually stop working?

I have purchased a dozen lightning cables. Some work, some don't. Every one I have purchased has stopped working after a short period if use. It may take a few months but it will eventually stop working. I take care of the cables. They are not subjected to physical damage of any kind.
Please advise

If they are genuine Apple cables they have a 12 month warranty either from the device they came with or when purchased as an Accessory

Why Does The Display Cable Length Change Screen Resolution?

I have a Power Mac running two 23" Samsung Displays using 6' cables. This has worked fine for 3 years. Recentily I tried to use 15' cables, but it changes the resolution of the displays. The resolutions are not even the same.
Any ideas on this? The 1st image shows the screen resolutions with the shorter cables. The 2nd image shows the resolutions with the longer cables.
Thanks!

Do not use the menuBar item for debugging. It shows only "greatest hits". The full range you can select from will be shown in:
System Preferences > Displays
The DVI connector on the computer outputs a "regular" VGA signal in the blade at the end and the four pins around it, plus H-Sync (which is in the top row of the grid next to them). Its "adapter" just swaps the signals around.
The Mini DisplayPort adapter asserts a signal to the Mini DisplayPort which requests VGA-compatibility mode, and the interface produces an approximation of VGA.

Why does the "this cable or accessory is not certified..." message continue to come up on my iphone, when I have nothing plugged into my iphone and have never used anything other than the cables that originally came with this iphone?

As the question says. This message pops up on my iphone every 30 seconds, even though nothing is plugged in. I have turned my phone off an on, plugged in the real cable and unplugged it, restarted the ios, nothing works. This started only after I updated to ios7.

Check the port with a magnifying glass and a bright light. There may be something stuck in it.
Best of luck.

Why is the lightning cable so fragile that in less than 3 months I have had to set 3 cables aside because they don't charge anymore?

In less than 3 months I have had to buy 2 more cables... None work anymore... Why is this cable so fragile that even though I don't twist or turn it, it ends up malfunctioning all of a sudden? The regular 30 pin cable has a much longer "life cycle". I bought an adapter and am charging my devices (iphone5 and mini Ipad) with it. Is there anynsuggestions to what i should do with these cables that are no longer working and are still almost brand new?

Had a similar problem. Lightening cable is not up to the job, it gets twisted easily and breaks. Had the old type on an IPhone 4 that has lasted over 2 years, but the lightening lasted less than three months. Cardiff store did not want to know about this problem and tried to sell me a new one for £14.00, absolutely shocking aft sales care.

My ipod touch 5th generation wont charge or turn on at all,

The hotness indicate a hardware problem.

Does it matter if the lightning cable is plugged in but not connected to an electrical outlet? Will this drain the ipad battery?

Does it matter if the lightning cable is plugged in but not connected to an electrical outlet? Will this drain the ipad battery? We use an ipad cart at school, and some of the teachers will connect all the ipads up to the cart, but then neglect to power up the cart. The laptop with the cart has already had the battery wrecked because of this (within a two month period), and I am concerned the ipads may have an issue if this continues to happen. I need some reassurance before I make the other teachers paranoid!

ok this one is kind in the gray area for me. I say if it is plugged in to a power up cart but not plugged in to a outlet, then all is is doing is not charing, and of course lossing a charge over time in standby, not really causing any issues. User guide and apple sites say it will drain the battery life.
Important: The iPad battery may drain instead of charge if iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, to a USB hub, or to the USB port on a keyboard.
however “Battery life” means the time your iPad will run before it must be recharged.
so I think it will be ok, as long as you charge it as usaul it should be fine.
just use these links for and understanding for batteries and the ipad, of course the user guide.

Why does the light on my battery charger change from green to orange after a few seconds?

Why does the light on my battery charger cable change from green to orange? The battery continues to accept a charge when light turns orange.

Green = not charging.
Orange = charging.
Note that if your laptop is pulling enough power (using CPU and GPU heavily) the light will turn green because the power adapter cannot provide enough power to charge your batteries in addition to keeping the system going.
In fact, you can drain your batteries even with the adapter plugged in with the 17 inch Macbook Pro if you push it hard enough, although I have not noticed this problem with my Retina Macbook Pro.

My iPhone 5 and iPad mini won't charge with the lightning cable. Worked fine for months until today.

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?

Does the data cable can charge an e61i ?

I've completly destroyed the hole of my e61i where you connect your charger and I dont wanna change of mobile now.
If I buy the data cable ,connect it to the computer and my mobile , does the mobile will charge ? ( and can i transfer data at the same time ? )
Thanks for the answer ( and sorry for my English '^)
J'ai completement explosé la connectique ronde (l'orifice (faut de pouvoir écrire T-R-O-U) où l'on branche le chargeur ) de mon e61i, je ne peux donc plus le charger ce qui est plutot embetant et je n'ai aps trop envie de changer de portable maintenant...
Est ce que le cable data me permettrait de le charger et d'échanger des données ?
Merci d'avance pour les réponses

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Unfortunately not. Your E61 can only be charged using the charging port.
You should be able to get the charging block replaced at your local Nokia Care Point.

I dropped my iPad mini on the floor, but it was not at all a big drop and landed firmly but the lightning cable inside my iPad cracked and from now on I have been using my sisters iPad charger(the same as old one) and now it take 4 hours to charge 8% HELP

I dropped my iPad mini on the floor, but it was not at all a big drop and landed firmly but the lightning cable inside my iPad cracked and from now on I have been using my sisters iPad charger(the same as old one) and now it take 4 hours to charge 8% HELP!!

It sounds like the drop damage more then just the lightning adapter.
I suggest you take it to Apple and ask them to check it out for you.

Why does the screen on my iPad mini jump around? Apps open and close, I can't get back to the home screen. Is my mini possessed?

Why does the screen on my iPad mini start jumping--larger, smaller--can't close apps. I reboot and still it happens. Any suggestions?

If the unit has NEVER been jailbroke, first try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless... Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

"Why Does The Shuffle Songs Feature Perform So Poorly?"

How'dee,
I have an iPod 160G Classic, I've spent the last 3 months taking my 2,247 "Owned" cd's (I'm a retired dj), an ripped them with identical settings and transfered them flawlessly onto my iPod. I now have a total of 26,311 tracks on my iPod. "FWI"- I tranfered each "Complete" album, no individual tracks... I had been looking forward to being able to Shuffle through my music and not actually listening to individual ablums at a time. I work as a security guard and I am able/allowed to use my iPod via my Bose dock.
I have been listening to my iPod in Shuffle Mode for 3 full weeks now and I am finding that I'm continually listening to the same 30 or so albums out of the full 2,247 that are on my iPod, sometimes it will actually play a song from a perticular album and then play Another track from that same album within the next 10 - 15 tracks!
In the end I'm hearing One New Track that I haven't heard yet every 15 - 20 or so tracks while at the same time I'm hearing tracks from the same albums and or groups throughout the 15 - 20 tracks that have played... As an example, I have 4 albums from the group KISS, I hear tracks from those 4 albums atleast 3 - 5 times every day - day & half... Why does the Shuffle Mode work so poorly? I can't see for the life of me why the so-called "Shuffle Mode" doesn't Shuffle through "ALL" of the 2,247 tracks that are on the iPod.
I've even gone as far as to use a cable to plug my iPod into a regular radio allowing me "Not" to charge my iPod until the battery is almost dead, allowing it to play continuously for my entire 8 hour shift in Shuffle Mode. And then just resume the next shift for another 8 hours, again, until the battery is almost dead. I've gotten around 35+ hours per charge over the last 2 weeks.
"My whole reason for spending $350. on this iPod was so that I could listen to my album collection as though I were listening to a radio... shuffling through "All" of my tracks. I'm now sitting here kicking myself in the a$$ for seemingly wasting my money..."
Any insight would be appreciated.
And just to let it be known, I have attempted to play tracks manually just to see if they are even workable transfers and I haven't come across any problems with the music that I put on the iPod.
The ToxicOne...

It is true - "random" does not mean that you should not hear two songs from the same album (or artist) in close proximity. However, as the number of albums increases, the likelihood of hearing multiple (sometimes three or four) cuts from the same album decreases. And the chances of this happening EVERY time a new shuffle is started is even less likely. Comparing flipping a coin (a 0.5 probability of any given result) to a library with over 2000 albums (a .0005 probability of a track from any given album) is comparing apples to oranges. Also, given one of the posts above which indicated hearing the same *progression of songs* indicates that the mathematical algorithm used by Apple to simulate randomness (as there is no such thing as true randomness in computer programming) is just not up to snuff.
