Will an Apple Iphone 3g charge from a Powered USB Hub while the computer is
Hello,
Will an Apple Iphone 3g charge from a Powered USB Hub while the computer is sleeping?
I have a Motorola SLVR L7, two BCK-08 Bluetooth Stereo Headsets and two iPower Secondary iPhone batteries that all charge from my Powered USB Hub while my main computer is sleeping.
It would seem that my iPhone 3g will not charge from a Powered USB Hub while the computer attached to it is sleeping?
Is there any way to get an Iphone 3g to charge from a PoWeReD UsB HuB while the computer it is attached to is sleeping?
I'm thinking in terms of greening things ... but this is making me leave a 170 Watt computer running while I sleep ... I don't use the computer much while asleep ...
Thanks for your time,
Bobby
How 'linux' is OS X?
In linux you can get a lot of USB information by typing "+lsusb -v+"
or through "/proc/bus/usb/devices"
(but they would both list everything connected via USB)
if you knew the vendor and device id you could type as an example
+(laptop:/proc/bus/usb) # lsusb -v -d 050d:805c+
+Bus 001 Device 008: ID 050d:805c Belkin Components+
+Device Descriptor:+
+idVendor 0x050d Belkin Components+
+idProduct 0x805c+
+bcdDevice 0.01+
+iManufacturer 1 Ralink+
+iProduct 2 802.11 n WLAN+
or
/proc/bus/usb/devices
+T: Bus=01 Lev=02 Prnt=03 Port=02 Cnt=01 Dev#= 8 Spd=480 MxCh= 0+
+D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1+
+P: Vendor=050d ProdID=805c Rev= 0.01+
+S: Manufacturer=Ralink+
+S: Product=802.11 n WLAN+
+C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr= 4mA+
In windows under details it lists the parent ID (port above) so if you found the USB port the iPhone was connected to ... you could find the hardware and vendor id or name of the hub it was plugged in to ...
I'm thinking it might be easier and more positive to start a thread requesting that anyone who has an iPhone that will charge from their computer through a USB Hub while that computer is sleeping ... but I don't know if I can start a thread with a title that long ...

I have a Iphone 4 gsm (8f190) and it will not connect to itunes and when i put it in recovery itunes will not work. It won't show up when plugged into the computer. Only charges when plugged in the wall or a car charger. I've tried everything imaginable but I can't get the phone to register in iTunes at all.. The phone won't even reset.. when i try and reset EVERYTHING on the phone the apple logo with the progress bar starts to come up but the progress never moves.. PLEASE help me.. I'm at my wits end with this phone and I'm ready to just trash it.

Warning to iPhone users. Do not start the update of the iPhone software using iTunes.
Nonsense, and very misleading advice. I've updated iPhone 3G, 3Gs,and 4 through itunes many times, never had a problem once, not with one single update in nearly 5 years of iPhones. Of course, I've never jailbroken my phones either. Hack your phone and have update problems? I've got news for you, the problems are not a result of iTunes or Apple's updates. -

Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
As per the forum term of service you can't get help here. Use google.
that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone. -
I am living in Pakistan, Lahore. I have purchased an Apple Iphone 5S online from apple store. I am facing water damage problem and there is no apple store here in Pakistan, How can I repair my phone from apple service center? Please help me
Take it to an authorized service center or Apple Store in the country where the phone originated. Apple does not sell iPhones in Pakistan, nor will they ship them to Pakistan.

My IPad will not turn on despite charging all night and all day. The Apple pops on but then shuts off again. It does this over and over. How can I fix this and get it up and running again?
Hey bellabeanbag,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines troubleshooting steps if your iPad is not responding:
iPad: Basic troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3274
If iPad won't turn on, or the display stops responding
Follow these steps, testing after each:
1. Turn the iPad off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPad for a few seconds, until a red slider appears. Then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
2. Reset iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If iPad still won't respond after you restore it
Follow these steps, testing after each:
1. If you receive an alert in iTunes while restoring your iPad, refer to this article for instructions on how to resolve common issues with updating and restoring.
2. If you cannot restore your iPad in iTunes, or if iTunes does not recognize the device, refer to this article for instructions on restoring using recovery mode.
Thanks,

Ways to prevent my iPhone 5 charger from breaking
I've gone through 2 chargers in 6 months. They broke the same way, the end where the cord meets the plastic. When it breaks though, it also breaks the wire somehow as well.
http://i43.tinypic.com/5vys9f.jpg
I've seen a way where you just put the spring on the charger, but the thing is that my chargers don't bubble at that end, ever,.
I'm on my last charger and I surely don't want to break another one again, as chargers are REALLY expensive and I don't want to purchase another one.
Any advice?Ways to prevent my iPhone 5 charger from breaking
You handle the cord more carefully. You don't jerk on the cord. You pull the cord out by grasping the plastic end piece. You don't bend the cord at sharp angles. All common sense (you would think) stuff.
I have had a lightning cord for two years for an iPad and iPhone and have yet to have a cord fail. The problem is not the cord it is the way the cord is handled. And to be specific, you have not gone through chargers, you have gone through cords. Distinctly different devices. As for expensive, a new cord is $19.00. -
my iphone 4s will not charge or be recognized when plugged into the computer after the ios 5.1.1 software update why is this? i have used many usb cords also.
Had same problem and did the normal reset 10seconds but did not work.
I plugged in USB and held the on/off switch and home button for 20seconds and the "Connect to Itunes" came on the screen. I then opened up Itunes and it directed me to restore. -
I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up. I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. I have authorized this new computer so I don't know what the problem is. I can't get on my old computer with my itunes account because the computer is broken. Not sure what to do
"I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
Correct. it does not magially appear in other places. It will only be where you put it.
"I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. "
Correct as well. Iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one. -

Charging from Mains using USB Cable
Hi,
I've not been able to get my classic to charge from the mains using a plug with USB socket and the cable that came with my Ipod. The same thing works for my TomTom and Garmin.
I've only ever been able to charge from my PC, Klipsch dock and the dock in my car.
Help! I'm going on holiday soon, and won't have a computer to charge it from!The problem is that I want to be able to charge when on holiday, and even the official Apple travel charger is a glorified USB charger. As far as I'm aware, USB has a standard 5v output, and should work no matter what adaptor I have plugged into the mains as long as I use the dock -> USB adaptor included with my ipod?

I tried to update the software of my iphone 3gs while charging with my Macbook Pro. While the phone was restarting after installation, in the setting up my phone menu, it stops midway with a message in itunes on the laptop that there is no simcard.
Then put a SIM in. You cannot activate an iPhone without a compatible Sim.
If your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken the update restore the lock. -
