Wrapping a MagSafe power brick is easy, but there is a proper, Apple-defined way to wrap it so that you avoid any potential breakage in the cable.

To wrap a MagSafe power brick, start with the cable laid out on a table.

Leave a small portion of the cable sticking out, creating a loop. Once you have this loop, begin wrapping the cable around the power brick's prongs, as you normally would.

Using this wrapping technique will safeguard the cable, removing the risk of cable breakage at the end of the power brick.

USB cables require just as much attention, especially iPod/iPhone cables. These do require a bit more technique than the MagSafe, but it's easy.

Start by holding a small amount of the cable with your thumb and/or middle finger. Then, with your other hand, begin wrapping the cable in a figure-8 between your pinky and index fingers.

This is what it should look like.

After you've wrapped the cable around, carefully pull it off your fingers. With the small portion of cable you left hanging, wrap it around the center of the cable and "fasten" it in one of the loops.

When you're finished, you will end up with something like this.

Place the connector ends inside the loops to secure them. Note that this technique can take a while to perfect, but practice makes perfect.

Use the same technique above to wrap your headphones.

Because the earbuds cable is thinner, this technique can be a little more difficult to pull off.
