Can I use this cable with a card reader?
I have an (unpowered) SD USB card reader, if I connected this to it, using a female to female USB adaptor, would it allow me to transfer photographs to the iPad? I know the Apple camera connection kit will do this, I just wanted to save myself some extra expense.

Best Answer:To answer my own question, no it does not work! I now have my iPad and have tried to transfer photos using my card reader, and also directly from a camera using this cable, connected via an adaptor, without success. Looks like I'm going to have to fork out another £25 quid and get the Apple Camera Connection kit. Ah well, nice try!

How do you disconnect cable?
The old iPod USB cable had buttons on both ends of the part that connected to the iPod. You pushed the buttons, and then it was easy to disconnect the iPod from the cable. However, I just bought a new iPod nano, and the cable head does not have buttons, so I basically have to yank it out sideways. This seems very dangerous to the internals of my iPod.
Is there a simple way to remove the iPod from this new cable? Is there some part I should be pushing so that it will slide right out easily, and I don't have to yank it out and scratch everything up? Thanks.- Asked by Andrew S from New York

Best Answer:Well, it's designed so that you shouldn't have to think about any of that. You just need to pull it out, if it resists a bit, that's fine (Up to a certain point, of course). I.e. nothing to press, just pull it out.

Best Answer:There actually is. I bought an extension cable from 3GJuice on Amazon and it works great. I only have the one cable and I use it to plug my iPhone into various docking stations without taking it out of it's otterbox case. A few other companies also make extension cables like this but I haven't tried them out so I don't know how good they are

Apple USB dock cable that has release buttons on sides?
One of the three Apple USB cables I have has this feature and I prefer it, it is a little bigger on the iPhone's end and has bottons on the side to release and be able to disconnect.
(Looks made by Apple)
Don't remember where I got it but seems all the current ones don't have this, they're smaller and just pull which makes it harder..- Asked by Roberto C from Miami
