Believe it or not, Juice Pack Plus ($120) is actually the third all-but-identical iPhone 5 battery case in Mophie’s extended rollout of the line.

Please tell me how to rectify. – Karen A: The most likely problem here is that the contact and calendar information stored in your iCloud account has somehow become erased or corrupted.

We measured BlueFlame’s cable at just short of two meters from end to end, or right around six and a half feet long. For almost any household use it’s plenty, allowing you to to not have to be tethered to the wall or a computer. Despite the added length, charging speeds aren’t slowed at all. Instead of a standard rubber-coated cable, the company used a tangle-resistant grey fabric. It’s quite sturdy, and certainly nice looking.…

Measuring roughly 8.6” wide by 3” deep by 2.8” tall with the handle recessed—notably larger than suggested on HMDX’s web site—Jam Party looks somewhat like a giant, colorful stick of butter from the front, only revealing gently trapezoidal tapering when viewed from the side. Coated in soft touch rubber that’s slightly metallic except in the aforementioned black zones, the speaker has a control panel on the…

Q: I have an iPad 2 and am looking for more hard drive space. I see Macally, Hyperdrive, Kingston, and others all offer Wi-Fi hard drive storage devices, but can they all store pictures, music, movies, and apps?

Please help, thanks greatly! – Mike A: Unfortunately, due to the way that…

Q: I have a 120GB iPod classic needing a battery change. I am opting for an in-store change due to lack of skill, and as a result, I am told I will lose all my data. I have my songs backed up already, but I am concerned about losing the artwork manually added (i.e. not inside the mp3 file). Is it possible to use Windows Explorer to do a straight copy and paste of all the MP3 and DB files and then re-copy onto the replacement iPod? Are there any files…
