Bluetooth issue with iPhone 4 and Mercedes Benz

I just received my iphone 4 today and it has a huge problem. When my previous iPhone 3GS was paired with my Mercedes Benz bluetooth telephone system, within seconds the address book was loaded. This continued to work well even after I upgraded it to iOS4. HOWEVER, my new iPhone4 will not sync the address book. This is extremely annoying considering my iphone sits in my glove box connected so that my itunes audio plays through my car audio.
Since I spend a great deal of time driving, this problem is big enough that it may cause me to return the iPhone4 and stick with the older model.

If you have the long futuristic puck in the center console here are the instructions I follow - works every time on my 2009 S550:
Important: * DON'T USE THE COMAND ON-SCREEN MENU - this will just mess you up *
Repeat: * DON'T USE THE COMAND ON-SCREEN MENU at all for this *
1) Put your iPhone on the bluetooth settings screen (Settings-General-Bluetooth)
2) Press the Mercedes logo on the center console puck for 3 seconds (it's actually a button, puck will flash blue)
3) Car might show up as "Hands-free" or "MB PhoneSystem" on the iPhone - select it
4) It will ask for a code - the number is always 62872
That's it! Let me know if you have any trouble.
p.s. phone book might take 2-3 minutes to upload each time - this is normal.

IPhone and Mercedes Benz hands-free bluetooth

Greetings,
Have you tried to connect your iPhone to Mercedes Benz bluetooth-based hands free system?
Can you make/receive calls? Can you sync your address book?
Any information is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have the MB Multi Handset Interface with the latest Bluetooth "puck". Pairs fine, voice quality decent.
One nice bonus is how fast the contact directory loads now. With a V600 directly in the cradle(no BT) it could take up to five minutes to load about 30 contacts. With the iPhone usings BT it loads four times as many contacts in just seconds.
As far as reconnecting when getting back in the car, mine always reconnects and at least loads the recents, but not always the directory, unless the iPhone is fully on.
Has anyone found a good way to check voicemail within this setup? I haven't fugured out how to connect to vmail via the MB controls. Or, if I connect using the iPhone directly, I cannot get the audio to play through the MB.
Also, have you noticed what happens when you try the old speed dial function through the MB keypad?

8.1 did not fix Bluetooth issue with iPhone 5 and car

8.1 didn't fix my issue with Bluetooth. I can receive calls and play music thru my Mazda CX-9 but I cannot make outgoing calls. My daughter has same issue with her iPhone 5 in her car so it has to be glitch with Apple yet. Please help. I'm so totally frustrated and I'm not eligible for iPhone 6 until January.

I found there is another contact group list as part of the Bluetooth sync menu; altering that took care of the issue.
This is a non-issue.

Bluetooth issues with iPhone 5

Is anyone experiencing connection issues since updating? Since updating iPhone 4 w/iOS 6 I've been experiencing Bluetooth connectivity with VW Jetta 2012. Now I have the iPhone 5 & it's still an issue. Which leads me to believe its the iOS 6 update. It works and then it doesn't. Very frustrating. And in most cases it connects but allows no controls using car stereo as before. All you see is "Bluetooth audio" on car stereo dash.

My Harman Kardon BT Headphones keep cutting out intermittently. I found that the music would stop streaming to the headphone but it would continue playing on the phone. To get the music back I had to keep pressing the play button on both my iphone and headphone and it would eventually come back. Is it an issue with the 5 or is it my new headphones?
Had issues too. RESET my Jawbone Icon per online PDF and removed from iPhone and re paired no problem now.

Broadcast and non-broadcast SSID issues with iPhones and iPads

We have a CIsco wireless infrastructure configured with a public broadcasted ssid and a private non-broadcast ssid that we are experiencing issues with the iPads and iPhones. The iPad or iPhone will switch between both ssids if defined but keep the original IP address when it switches to the non-broadcast ssid making it unusable. It shouldn't be switching at all technically. If the non-broadcast ssid is defined only on the iPhone or iPad, the broadcast ssid pops up and starts asking for authentication information. I have Cisco looking into this but I'm quite sure this is an Apple bug. Any other device works fine. We are currently using version 4.3.5(8L2) on the iPads and iPhones. I do know that if we broadcast both SSIDS, the issue goes away, but I don't want to do that. Although it doesn't really add any more security, it just isn't advertised, so most people won't see it and avoids a lot of questions. Hopefully there's a simple solution.
Any ideas apple guys?
Also how does one open an actual trouble ticket with apple?

Did you solve this? Settings\Wifi\Askto join networks - OFF

Issues with iPhone and Android connecting to Lync 2010?

Our environment currently consists of a single Lync 2010 instance, which is currently performing all roles. The current challenge I'm running into is connectivity to iOS and Android devices not wanting to cooperate. Currently, Lync is using a certificate
issued by a local CA. The CA root certificate has been imported to the devices that are having trouble connecting, and I've done this via email import without success, as well as using the iPhone Configuration Utility. In all tested instances, an error that
"the certificate can't be verified" is displayed that prohibits a user from establishing a connection. All domain workstations and remote users that import the root CA have no issues connecting.
I can't seem to figure out what's going on here. Has anyone run into this? This is a quasi-test environment in my lab that I'm testing with a few other people, and as much as we've tried, can't seem to figure out the issue. Any ideas?

To confirm that the certificate has been installed successful do you have a corporate website that is available externally that uses a certificate issued by the CA in question? If the answer is yes I would browse to that site on the phone and see if you
get an error. The Lync mobile clients don't give you a heck of a lot of information for troubleshooting. This will rule out a certificate issue.
Next thing would be your reverse proxy. Are you using ISA server? Test the reverse proxy rule by browsing to the Lync mobile auto discover URL - https://lyncwebexternal.domain.com/Autodiscover/AutodiscoverService.svc/root
Assuming ISA also make sure the rule is configure correctly -

Let me know what the results are of those tests.

Bluetooth issue with iPad and mountain lion

My iPad will pair with my iMac, but it will not connect - since I installed Mountain Lion. It will pair AND connect with Snow Lion. Is this a 'new' OS 10.8 issue?

To print (printer pro) from my iPad. But since it doesn't even connect....

Anyone having Bluetooth issues with mouse and keyboard with mountain lion?

Installed mountain lion yesterday and since the restart my bluetooth on my computer is not working properly and it says "bluetooth not available" Any ideas or suggestions on a fix. I have already tried re installing mountian lion with no luck.

Did you try these steps? They worked for me and a couple other people:
1 - Turn on automatic login: System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General > Click the lock to make changes > If Disable automatic login is checked, uncheck it > Pick your user account and password > Ok.
2 - Shut down your computer.
3 - Turn off your keyboard and mouse: For keyboard and wireless trackpad you hold the power button until the light goes off.
4 - Start your computer.
5 - Once your desktop has fully loaded turn the keyboard and mouse back on, everything should work.

Issues with iPhone and iPhoto syncing

Having trouble adding photos from my iPhone5 to my iPhoto '09, version 8.1.2. The photos are not showing up or syncing. iPhoto says there is an iPhone device but nothing. It worked before, last time I transferred photos as in March 2014 and there was no problem. Any suggestions?

Try lauch iTunes.
Then connect the Phone/iPad
When it asks you to trust it, say yes.
Then try import.

PDF Issues with iPhone and iPad mail program.

I can no longer open a PDF from mail on my iPhone or my iPad. It will not download. I click the down arrow but it will not download to the phone. All other documents work fine. Any suggestions?

Seems like this is a bug that apple might know about.

Anyone noted Bluetooth connection issues with iPhone 4s and Ford sync?

My wifes iPhone 4 with IOS 5.0.1 auto connects to Ford Sync at least 75% of the time on first attempt. My new iPhone 4S with IOS 5.0.1 takes 4-5 attempts and rarely if ever connects without multiple attempts. Any one else seeing issues with failed Bluetooth connections with iPhone 4S phones?

Look at the right panel for links to other threads concerning problems with Fords. And it's not just Fords, cars in general. No solutions seem to be given.

IPhone 6 BlueTooth issues with iOS8

Ok here is my findings:
Tried 2 iPhone 5 units before iOS8 and no issues with Bluetooth (1 I had for 2 years and no issues in my car). Once updating to iOS8 the bluetooth didn't work well at all for phone calls but music connects fine. Strange issues with the unit automatically start dialling but not able to cancel call until you disconnected bluetooth.
Also incoming calls ring but unable to answer and seem to lock up so you have to disconnect bluetooth to hang up.
I tried everything listed in the forums here and what the Apple reps told me. It works for a short while until the phone gets turned off or synced with iTunes. Now I have a new iPhone 6 with iOS 8 and it worked initially before I started setting things up.
I did not restore from a back up, I started as a new phone. Once I installed all my apps (Not in iTunes, rather manually over the air) and changed settings on the phone (not sure if it because of changing settings or turning the phone off) it would not connect to bluetooth in my car anymore, well it does just for music. I have tried my wife's iPhone 5c and it seems to work fine with my bluetooth so it definitely has nothing to do with my vehicle.
Apple there is a definite issue here. Stop telling me and other people to contact my car manufacturer to fix the issue. It all worked fine before iOS 8. Something needs to be done ASAP or I will be returning my phone and jumping ship to an Android or Windows phone as much as that may pain me. I have been a loyal Apple customer for the last 7 years. If this is how you are going to treat me and other loyal customers, you will not keep us for long.
I am hoping someone from Apple is reading this. If so I am expecting to be contacted. We expect a resolution fast!

I had same Bluetooth issues with iOS 8 on my iPhone 6; no phone/no music streaming although showing as "connected" with my 2 vehicles (VW and Audi).
Apple telephone technical support team solved issue with both cars as follows:
1. Delete the phone from handsfree memory in the Bluetooth car settings.
2. "Forget" the handsfree device (car) in the iPhone Bluetooth settings.
3. Reset ALL settings in iPhone (not just network settings)!!
(note: I had to reset ALL settings twice in a row for this to work.)
It worked in both cars! (Hope it stays working.....?)
You will have to reset wallpaper, and most other settings, as well. Certainly worth the trouble to get car Bluetooth up and running properly.
Good luck.

I am having issue with iphone 5 bluetooth , not able to connect honda CRV

I am having issue with iphone 5 bluetooth , not able to connect to my honda CRV

Don't know if you could consider this an Apple issue. I know you are probably frustrated, and I am not defending Apple here, just saying that the iPhone does not update to support individual automobiles, the automobile manufactures update to support the Bluetooth profiles.The iPhone has the latest Bluetooth stack and supports a number of things. Problems generally revolve around the manufacturer not supporting the lastest Bluetooth version and have to update their systems. Check with Honda, they are probably aware of this, and if you search the forum, you will find a number of posts regarding the CR-V.

Apple TV buffering issues with iPhone 4s and iPad 2

Hi all,
I just got me an Apple TV 2nd gen (yeah, I know, ordered 2 days before the presentation of the new one). So far so good, the device is up and running, connects just fine to my Airport Express router and all.
However, if I try to stream a video from my iPad (2) or my iPhone (4S), the results are quite horriffic. The iPad videos would buffer for a very long time before they start and then quite fast after that the buffering problems restart. It's pretty impossible to play a video fluently of more than 20 seconds. If I'd try from my iPhone it's even worse with videos being 1080p, the thing just never plays, eventually the preloading process stops on the mirroring mode is cut.
I have to point out, all my devices are in the same room (WiFi) so the signal is the best it can be.
This is honestly quite surprising AND disappointing to be honest, given I bought the device mostly for that, so I can stream videos from my phone and pad.
Tell me, am I doing something wrong, or the video streaming over those devices is just a marketing gimmick with nothing real behind it?
Would it matter if I change my router from Airport express to Airport extreme?
Thanks!

I have the same issue with ATV3 and iPhone 4S. Everything works properly, no buffering issues when watching netflix, vimeo, youtube BUT when I try mirroring even a small 15sec iPhone movie it stutters and buffers and results to a choppy playback..same with larger mp4 files such as 1-1.5GB, buffers forever and never plays, I just re-encoded the same movie to 700MB and plays perfectly..
Why Apple, why?..so close..I can accept the bigger movie files issue, but not being able to playback properly an iPhone movie is funny..I recorded a movie with lower bitrate through Filmic Pro (Economy mode, up to 16Mbps)
and plays properly.
Is there an upcoming software update going to solve the problem or is it hardware related and therefore not fixable.
Please don't reply with a network related answer, by 2012 we know how to set up our networks and everything else runs flawlessly.
I'll apreciate a fast answer, we love Apple, but if it can't play an iphone movie (or a high quality movie from iTunes) it's just not up to my standards.
Thanks again.
