Iphone cable
Another silly question?
The Iphone USB/charger lead is a bit short for my liking and for practicality of charging from the wall socket, so I brought a USB extension lead.
But when I plug it in it tells me that it isn't supported for charging. Any ideas how to modify the lead? I assume Apple has disabled something in the USB connector?

I 'assumed' that the lead simply extended the one I had - ie all pins connected straight through...
stuckgear - very good but it is a 3GS on a very good package - wouldn't have it otherwise.

For an alternative approach, google "Active USB Hub', job done.
No need for cable messing.

PC connection isnt' an option
Can't use power lead adapters as for fire safety reasons we don't allow them onboard plus where I want to put it a large cable/adaptor socket is practical - hence the idea to extend the USB bit.

Ah I see about the hub but again it is the space issue.
Basically I want to put the phone next to my bunk but the power socket is by the desk - a longer lead is really the only option unfortunately. Can figure out why there is a problem as the lead works fine for everything else, is under 5 metres so shouldn't need powering...
