$80 Apple in-ear headphones not working with iPhone 4

I spent $80 on a pair of in ear headphones and they do not work with iPhone 4. I can listen to music and talk but the volume controls are completely nonfunctional. So I used them on my friends 3GS and they work fine. How can Apple come out with a new phone that wont work with their own products? I used to love Apple until this F@#$ing iPhone 4 came out.

According to Apple, they should work with the 4... http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA850G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1MA&mco=MTM3NTM0Mjg
Are they plugged in to your iPhone all the way?

Appletv remote app and airplay not working with iphone 4S

I have the latest appleTV. I have the remote app loaded onto my ipad3 and iphone 4S. The app is not working with iphone 4S, nor do I get the airplay icon, hence I can't mirrior my phone on appleTV. It used to work. I have deleted and reloaded the app, and still nothing. It worked fined until a month ago or so. I have enabled home sharing.
The app and airlplay are working just fine with the ipad3. I have the ipad and appleTV hooked up to my router using 5Ghz, and the iphone only connects to the 2Ghz network on the same router. I don't think this is the issue, because it worked before.
Also, when I click on the remote app on the iphone, to add an itunes library, a code pops up on the phone, which I enter into itunes on my Win7 PC. Nothing seems happed on the computer when I enter the code. Could this have anything to do with recent appleTV or itunes updates? Any possible solutions?

It seems like I am having the same problem.
I have the latest AppleTV 1080, imac 27", ipad, ipad2, 2 iphone 4, all with the latest iOS. After I have the AppleTV connected, a few problems showed up:
(1) ipad plus iphones cannot airplay photo to AppleTV. After the play button and the grey screen displayed "the playing msg on AppleTV", nothing happened. it is the same for ipad/iphone.
(2) iMac not Airplay to AppleTV
(3) Airplay Mirroring not working
The following are done:
- Home sharing enabled
- To test the devices are connected. I set a passowrd for Airplay and the ipad/iphone both requested for it so they are network and devices are ok

AirPlay does not work with iPhone 4 s or iPad.Remote doesn´t work as well

AirPlay does not work with iPhone 4 s or iPad.Remote doesn´t work as well.
WLAN is working, I can use Youtube on my AppleTV, but I can´t connect to my computer or use airplay on my iPhone or iPad.

Something is not configured correctly that is creating issues with your AppleTV. You can disconnect it from the TV and power, and then plug it into your computer with a micro-USB cable. After launching iTunes on your computer, you will be able to restore it to default settings and upgrade the software.

Non-Nokia headphones not working with N9

Heyo,
I tried plugging my Etymotic mc3 headphones into my N9, but the sound keeps playing through the speakers. The stock Nokia 'buds work, and the only difference between the two is that the Etymotics have inline volume controls. Will these buds simply not work with the N9, or is there some hope? What should I look for/avoid when shopping for new buds for my N9?

I finally found a great converter for non nokia headphones...
I bought AKG Q460 that are specifically made for iPhones and couldn't use the inline mic to talk and even the heaphones had that TV signal sound going thru. i bought a bunch of converters that didnt work. And finally bought one that actually works 100% with my AKG and my N9.

How do I get my headphones to work with my ipod?

Is this a new shuffle? Or did it work before, and does not now for some reason?
In case the headphones are faulty, have you tried another set?

Apple TV gen 3 not working with Linksys EA6700

Hello, I have Apple TV 3 with 5.3 Firmware connecting to Linksys EA6700 is so far impossible. It has always worked with a Technicolour 582n. No problems. But with this Linksys EA6700 Smart router no result of connecting. This is wireless as well with Cable. It stays stuck on Activation as well Setting date and Time. Which results into only Computers and Settings. Been in contact with Linksys. They don't want to burn their fingers on it, so no solution. Before I was able to use it with Firmware 5.02 but now I have tried to restore this and it is not accepting this and gives a fault. Did a wireless restore, did a cable restore, did a micro usb restore. Nothing, nix, nada, horror, horror ! Why is it that Apple TV is NOT working with Linksys routers ? After so many updates from Apple still no inclusion. What is the problem ? Tried also to set DNS server to 8.8.8.8 Disconnected everything, on and off, you name it. It can't be that difficult is it ? Why can't we manually activate and set the time and date by hand ? Something is wrong here. Does Apple refuse to talk to Linksys about this or do they just hate Linksys routers ? Further Linksys EA6700 is working great with every other hardware. Easy installation. No problem with Switches, Computers, Laptops, Ipads, Iphones, Android, ................... But not with Apple TV !

Nobody ?

Official Apple Composite Cable DOESN'T WORK with iPhone 3GS firmware 3.1.2

I've tried everything and I cannot make the official apple composite cable (MB129LL/B) work with my iPhone 3GS 3.1.2.
I get no video output AND no sound as if the cable is simply not made for my 3GS
What do need to do to get composite video output on my 3GS 3.1.2????

"The 3GS will not work with a Composite cable. It will only work with a Component cable. See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454"
I have had no luck with getting the component cables to work with my 3GS. They are the Apple branded cables, not some knockoff. I would be angry if I needed to buy the universal dock to get them to work. Per some of the forums I've read, it is not needed. Also, from all the reading I've done on the TV out feature in this forum and others, it appears to be a hit or miss whether it works or not.

Griffin RoadTrip not working with iPhone 3G any more

Hi,
my Griffin RoadTrip is not working any more with my iPhone 3G.
Always message that this accessory is not compatible with iPhone, but before, it worked and now it doesn't any more.
(On Griffin case, it's mentioned that the accessory is designed for iPhone 3G)
any tricks for this?
Thx

Mine was working fine for about 6 months. Then, I started getting a "not compatible message." I called Griffin and they suggested a soft reset of the iphone 4s. The message went away but now the FM transmitter is not transmitting. Griffin sent me a brand new one (free) but the FM transmitter still does not work. That tells me that the iphone changed -- probably after an update.

Corporate Email does not work with iPhone

I'm not a tech wiz so my apologies if this is very elementary. My IT guy said the iPhones will not work with MS Exchange on our server. We currently support Blackberry and Windows Mobile devices such as the Q, Treos, Blackjack. He did mention that my email could work through the POP server, but it wasn't secure. I've tried setting up the POP email to pull my corporate email, but keep getting the Authentication Failure message. Any suggestions on what to try?

If Windows mobile devices can connect using ActiveSync, then your iPhone should be able to connect the same way.
I used a HTC TytnII to sync my mail, calendar et contacts. I got the iphone and entered the exact same informations (server IP adress, user name and login) and it just worked.
You need however to know the exact capitalization of your email adress, as described in your MS Exchange server. To know that, create a message in outlook, enter your name in the "to" field and double-click on your name. In the information box, you should have numerous tabs, and the last one gives you the capitalization (in the "SMTP" field).
Good luck
