What user troubleshooting have you done on the phone? The steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Understand that a restore will put the latest iOS on your device. It is also possible there is a hardware fault on the device and the Bluetooth is failing. Anything is possible given the scenario you describe.
And as far as iOS 7.x is concerned, we have 5 different iPhones here at home, all with the latest iOS, a 4, 4s, 5c, and 2-5s and all are working just fine. So, a blanket statement such as the one provided by the other poster is not completely true. Others are not having any issues at all either.

  • When I watch tv shows in Front Row that I've bought off iTunes the audio gradually falls out of sync with the video. It does not happen with other files that I have converted into mp4s. Any ideas for fixing this? It's a huge bummer...

    I too have the same problem.  The audio drop out of sync in about 5 sec in not uncommon for the audio to be 30+ sec behind video.  Apple needs to fix this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   its a joke,  my iphone is all messed up after the last update as well.  at one time not to long ago apple products and software were top rated, not so much any more, more and more problems are showing up and apple is unwilling or unalbe to fix the many issues.  Apple needs to fix the audio sync problem, it not the computer hardware or other software it ITUNES!!!!,  there is no workaround other then hitting pause and hitting pause and hitting pause to temp fix the problem. 

  • TS3276 I am connected to internet...all other devices receive emails except my main computer.  Any ideas why?

    I am connected to internet...all other devices receive emails (ipad, iphone).  However, my main computer will not receive emails anymore.  Why?

    Ok.  So this is interesting.
    Previously, I had checked my storage with Yahoo Mail Plus and I had tons of available space.
    Similar to this post, I sent an email to Yahoo Mail customer service outlining my problem.  Did not receive a response.
    Despite my Yahoo Mail Plus account showing plenty of available space, I decided to clean-up (delete emails and delete the resulting Trash) the various folders in the Yahoo Mail Plus account.
    While deleting emails from the Sent folder and Spam folder in Yahoo Mail Plus, my Mac Mail started uploading my inbox from Yahoo Mail Plus.
    I don't know if someone at Yahoo Mail "fixed something" in response to my customer service email or whether Yahoo Mail wasn't allowing Mac Mail to upload my Inbox due to some "folder sublimit" issue that wasn't readily apparent (which was "resolved" when I started cleaning up the Yahoo Mail folders).
    I know it wasn't the overall storage that shows on your Yahoo Mail account because I checked that as one of the first things. 
    Anyway, I'm back up and running.  Thanks for responding and working with me to try to figure this out. 

  • Why won't my macbook air connect to my wifi, but I have no problems with other devices?

    I can't seem to connect my macbook air to the internet.  I have no problem with my regular mac.  What could the problem be?

    Let us know what any error message is. Otherwise some general things you can try is creating a new network location in System Preferences > Network. Also you can reset the network settings by deleting /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and restart the computer.

  • I updated to 5.0.1 and lost all my game data for my apps since the update and have checked my devices table and tried to upload anyone got any idea how to get my freaking game data back

    Can any one help?

    Hi,
    Thanks for replying so quick. I think before the update the apps were not in the library. Now after the update the apps are in the itunes libary minus the game data. I think that happened because I tried to find my game data. I search my pc and found a previous itunes libraries folder and when I used that I found a file I clicked on a file called itunes Library 2012-01-10 that opened in the itunes library. The date on that file was the date of the upgrade to 5.0.1. when I lost all my games data.
    There is another file in the itunes libcalled iTunes Library 2011-03-16 would it be worth trying to download that as it may have more game data?
    I ment to say the devices tab not table it is the option in the iTunes app to find out about your device.

  • IPhone 4 / iOS 6 drops  bluetooth connection when I answer a call using handsfree link in car.

    Honda Crosstour 2010. Handsfreelink and phone pair ok but when I go to answer a call via the talk button on the steering wheel, the connection drops and I have to use my phone to talk, rendering auto bluetooth useless. I have to manually reconnect the two to get car and phone bluetooth working again. Honda and Verizon both point to Apple as the problem...

  • My ipod is cracked and it chipped away a little more last night and that's when my wifi stopped working. My wifi works on every other device in my house except for my ipod. Is there something wrong with my ipod?

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Try right next to the router
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network       
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Could it be this?
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

  • I copied several MOV files to a CD. When I play them from the CD the video is fine but the audio works fine for the first few seconds then stops (using Qicktime Player 7.7.1.  Everything works fine if I use VLC Media Player. Does anyone have any idea why?

    I copied several MOV files to a CD. When I play them from the CD the video is fine but the audio works fine for the first few seconds then stops (using Qicktime Player 7.7.1.  Everything works fine if I use VLC Media Player. Does anyone have any idea why?

    My purpose for copying to a CD or DVD is so that I can make copies and send to friends and relatives. What is the best way to get these files on a CD/DVD with the right codecs?
    The easiest thing to do is to simply tell your friends and relatives to copy the files to their local hard drive before playing them. Your basic problem is that data discs have a limited real time transfer rate. Since you say VLC plays the files fine, I might suspect its player is likely buffering the data while the QT 7 Player is not.
    Data discs made for playback directly from the CD or DVD are normally encoded using MPEG-4/AVC (H.264) video with AAC audio. This is a modern codec which has specific settings to re-package the data (i.e., must be encoded using the multipass option and then select the "optimize for CD/DVD" option).

  • Why is it so impossible(in the iphone) to share files with other devices?

    i want to buy an iphone 4 but this sharing issue is struggling me down>>>>>please i want help because sharing is very with other devices like nokia is very important to me.............

    File sharing on smart phones is generally through an app like Dropbox or similar. iPhone also provides file transfer via iTunes in many cases. On a non-Smartphone, file-sharing is generally accomplished through syncing to a computer or by Bluetooth file transfer (though phone-to-phone transfer is not generally possible).
    So, file sharing is quite possible, but it will probably involve using some computer or service as an intermediary if the phones involved use different operating systems or  don't directly support file transfer.

  • HT4199 I have a new iPhone 4s.  I have a home wi-fi network using Cisco Linksys2000 router with all settings per this article - phone will not see network if set to 5 GHz channel width - solution??  2.4 works but is not optimal with other devices in home

    I have a new iPhone 4s.  I have a home wi-fi network using Cisco Linksys2000 router with all settings per this article - phone will not see network if set to 5 GHz channel width - solution??  2.4 works but is not optimal with other devices in home (computers; tivo).  Have others seen this?  Any advice is much appreciated.

    Stephen Spark is right - your best alternative is to use a simultaneous dual band wireless router like the AirPort Extreme. Your Cisco Linksys2000 is not a dual band router, meaning that it will be constrained to operate at the slowest speed of all the devices on your network.
    The AirPort Extreme's dual networks will support all your 802.11n devices as well as all your 802.11b/g devices on both the 2.4 and 5 GHz frequencies simultaneously.
