Why is iPhone non-compatible with other USB peripherals?

So last night what I presumed was a simple update to 6.1.3 turned into 1.5 torturous hours. The reason being that I left my webcam plugging into my PC while doing the update on iTunes. Later on, the phone wouldn't even restore, but once I unplugged the webcam, it went fine.
Can anyone tell me why iPhone/iTunes has such a problem with copying with other USB peripherals being plugged in? No other USB item I have shows this level of imcompatibility.
P.

Because it pulls maximum power from the USB port while most other USB devices do not.

  • How can i make my iphone 4 compatible with other itunes?

    I put music on my phone using my computer and then try it with my friend's computer. It works fine everything goes well, but when i try using my computer again it makes me delete all of my music! how can i make it work with both itunes without deleting all of my music and having to start all over again??? H E L P  PLEASE!

    My thought exactly.  I would like to know why Apple designed it this way.  I think you should be able to manage your files on any computer with any product.  This has been my biggest gripe about Apple. If I have a song or photo on my desktop computer and want it on my iphone great.  I should also be able to take that song or photo from my iphone and put it on my laptop at work. Hmmmm.

  • External Hard Drive non compatible with others PCs

    I format a Hard Drive to Mac but now it could not be recognized by Window in other computer. Which format I need to select in orther to be able to get and give info in other PCs

    I think that attempting to use a disk for both Mac and Windows is a false economy.
    Disks are cheap enough now that you can just get one for each platform.
    As far as the sharing of data between the two platforms goes, use the network. It will cause way fewer problems then a single disk will.

  • New Keyboard Not Compatible With All USB Flash Drives

    Hi,
    I've noticed that the new super-thin iMac keyboards are not compatible with all USB Flash Drives. Here's an example.
    I have 2 USB Flash Drives. One is a ByteStor 2GB USB 2.0 High Speed Dataferry Flash Drive, the other is a Kingston DataTraveler 1GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive. Neither of these drives used to work with the previous design of iMac keyboard, giving me the "low power" warning.
    However, the ByteStor works just fine with the new super-thin iMac keyboard, but oddly enough, the Kingston DataTraveler doesn't. Does anyone know why this is? What's the difference? When buying a new USB Flash Drive, how do you know if it's compatible with the new iMac keyboard or not?

    Thanks. Yeah the Kingston DataTraveler works just fine if I plug it into one of the USB 2.0 ports on the back of the iMac. But if I plug it into the new thin Apple Keyboard, it gives the low power warning.

    Anyway, I'll try that new keyboard software update and report back.

  • Should I get a 2.0 or 3.0 USB external hard drive for my 2011 Macbook Pro? I need it to be compatible with the USB ports of both a PC and a Mac.

    Should I get a 2.0 or 3.0 USB external hard drive for my 2011 Macbook Pro? I need it to be compatible with the USB ports of both a PC and a Mac. I was thinking of getting a Seagate becuase apparently it is compatible with both systems, but I want to know which would be a better investment.

  • Is HD anti-glare film for iPhone 4 compatible with Seido Innocase Rugged?

    Is Power Support HD anti-glare film for iPhone 4 compatible with an Seido Innocase Rugged case? (That case is the one that, aside from the holster, has 3 pieces: a 2-piece plastic case that slides over the phone, a soft rubber-like case that fits over that, and finally an X-shaped plastic back that grabs the corners of the soft case.)

    Nope. My PS Crystal screen protector looks like there's nothing on my iPhone 4. I've tried many screen protectors, and this one is by far the best I've ever used.

  • I just downloaded Firefox 6.0. The web page asked if I wanted to upgrade. What is the most recent version of Firefox and why can't I get it denoted in the propperties link? Also why is it not compatible with AVG Tool Bar?

    I just downloaded Firefox 6.0. The web page asked if I wanted to upgrade. What is the most recent version of Firefox and why can't I get it denoted in the propperties link? Also why is it not compatible with AVG Tool Bar?

    Firefox 6.0 is the current version.
    Get what denoted in what properties link.
    You can get the version number in Help -> About Firefox,
    and in '''about:support''' typed into the Location bar, and you can use JavaScript to list the user agent -- javascript:navigator.userAgent
    I'm not aware of any version of Firefox from Fx 2 on up to Fx 6 where "AVG Safe" is not a problem. Crashes aren't the only failures caused.

  • Is my iphone 4 compatible with bose connect kit

    Is my iphone 4 compatible with bose wave connect kit?

    Hi there,
    Yes but only if you have a bluetooth compatible Wave system and also only if you also have the bluetooth adapter to go with the bluetooth compatible Wave system. If you have these two parts, you can simply ensure that the bluetooth device is on and discoverable using your wave remote control (press and hold preset button 5 or 6 for 10 seconds or till you see discoverable written on the LCD screen of the bose wave system). You should hear a beep.
    You can now go into your iphone 4 and under bluetooth (under iphone settings), turn it on and you should be able to connect with the bose adapter which should now be on the list of nearby devices under bluetooth. Hope that helps or solves your problem.

    Hi,
    I'm from germany so no 'best buy' but I think I will lock around sleeve/bag for a different product with same measures. Any tip?
    The clear plastic case is not what I want. I would like to use the player without such protections. I just want a sleeve to protect the player while its in my jacket/pants.
    Btw, i have bought this version: Creative Zen (maybe european version?). I also doesn't seem to have your mentioned sleeve. I also couldn't find it on the website.
    Anyway, thank you,
    Chris

    Is my iPhone 3GS compatible with a Plantronics 975V2 Bluetooth headset?

    I resolved it. I had to put the Jawbone into 'pairing' mode, by holding down the Jawbone it two different places. So it is compatible.
