Dock Connector to USB 2.0 Cable for iPod and iPhone
when i had the ipod dock connector to usb cable, it was the best i ever used. i loved it. i used to take it to school and charge it in my technology class because it has a computer lab. i charged it to a dell pc and it charges well! but it charges faster at home. its the best for sync & charge. for $20, i would be happy to buy this off amazon.com because it is the only known website/seller that sells it. i wish i could get one for less price because this is replaceable and good for people who lost theirs or have problems with theirs. currently, my ipod mini is OFF so i have to wait a bit to make some money and buy a new one. cant wait for this!
After reading the other reviewers, I am now almost certain that I need this connector but I just can’t seem to understand what is going on. I bought my new ipod Nano about 3 months ago and was using it in my old Mac. I didn’t even really pay attention to plugging it in etc. because it all I cared about was that I COULD connect it to my computer… BUT I just bought a new HP PC and went to plug my Nano into it and the firewire end of my cable has nowhere to plug into on my PC. Did I lose something that should have come with my Nano - like a converter or something?? Or do they only come with these ways of connecting through a firewire and therefore, I have no choice but to buy this or else I really can’t even use my nano in the first place??? (I didn’t even realize that on the Mac, I must have had a firewire port that I had never used before…and now I don’t on my PC ?? ) Can anyone help me make sense of this??
Thank you a million times…
