Q: Will this cable work with Lightning or USB-C iPhones and iPads?
A: No. Apple 30-Pin to USB Cable only fits Apple devices with the older 30-pin dock connector. It does not plug into newer iPhone or iPad models that use Lightning or USB-C, so a different cable or adapter is needed.
Q: Is Apple MA591G/C the right replacement cable for older devices?
A: Yes. Apple MA591G/C is a 30-Pin to USB Cable for older iPad, iPhone and iPod models that use the 30-pin dock connector. It is the right replacement only if your current device still has that older style of port.
Q: Can I connect this cable directly to a USB-C laptop port?
A: No. Apple 30-Pin to USB Cable has a standard USB plug on the computer end, so it is designed for USB-A ports and USB power adapters. A direct USB-C connection is not built into the cable itself.
Q: Can it charge from a wall adapter or only a computer?
A: Yes. The Apple 30-Pin to USB Cable can charge from a computer USB port or from an Apple USB power adapter at the wall. Charging works in both setups, but syncing and downloads still require a computer connection.
Q: Does this cable transfer music and updates as well as charge?
A: Yes. This cable is designed for charging and USB syncing, so it can connect a supported iPad, iPhone or iPod to a computer for updates, apps and media transfers. It is not designed for video output to a display.
