IOS 5.1.1 update BAD for General Motors factory-issued Bose Stereo Computers

Yesterday I could listen to my music in my Cadillac CTS via the GM factory USB cable that plugs into the factory-installed 40GB Bose touchscreen stereo. Today, all I did was update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1.1, fire up my car, plug the ol' iPhone into the ol' USB as usual and, now, the stereo computer that has recognized it since I bought it (many updates ago) CANNOT recgonize it...
The GM/Bose stereo computer scans the drive and reads it as  "Source Unknown".
Please Apple...  HELP ME.  .1 is ruining my entertainment experience.  A communication breakdown between such commercial juggenauts (You >> << Bose >> <<GM) cannot stand.  We love our phones, we love our cars, and it goes without saying that we need to rock out BIG TIME with our phone in our cars.
I love you with all my heart, Apple, and that is why I implore you: fix this fast for me and the millions who own GM cars who have not yet noticed this update falt yet... but will.
And to all you good people looking for answers and asking good questions, I ask you to chime in here for Apple to do this quick tweak to 5.1.1; so we can have our cake and eat it too, just the way we like it.

On the iPhone when plugged into the USB check the
music app.  It may be defaulting to Bluetooth playback
and you need to manually select the dock connector
interface.
This is what happens on my Microsoft Sync system.
Phone functions are done via Bluetooth.  So, if I start
the car up with Bluetooth on, the phone pairs but defaults
to Bluetooth audio (Sync) for the music.  I need to select
the music app on the phone and select dock connector
playback.
Your issue may be similar, it may not.  Worth a try anyway.

  • ITunes update bad for my ipod ?!?!

    My ipod has been working great for the past 2 years, well, I power up with the wall plug and haven't updated any of my itunes or ipod software for probably 8 months. I updated my itunes to the recent version and then reset and updated my ipod. Now I can't put music on it with out getting an error about reading or writing files from the disk. Heres what I know:
    -I can reset the ipod without any issues.
    -I can add contacts to the ipod without any issues.
    -when I try to add songs through itunes it's very slow and after 3 songs gives me an error and quites. I can add songs like this 3 at a time by un-mounting and mounting the ipod.
    -I can't add songs to the ipod through winamp, realplayer, and windows media player won't even recognize that it's plugged in (even though it shows up in MyComputer)
    -The songs that are added slowly are Mp3's imported from older versions of itunes, Wav files generally don't work, although I have some sound effects that are under 5 seconds long and they sync to the ipod fine.
    then I installed ipod linux to see if a different format would help at all.
    So I don't think it has anything to do with my ipod's capability to read and write to the disk, and its not that old. It's a 4th generation click wheel thats around 2 years old.
    any ideas?
    do I really have to send this in?

    I've had the same problem! My $400 Kenwood kdc-x993 receiver is now worthless! I just bought it in June, but after installing the iPhone update it no longer recognizes the iPhone (older iPods still work).

  • Possible update solution for some Jelly Bean issues on Razr Maxx

    I bought a Razr Maxx used two weeks ago and wanted to a post a possible solution to the broken Jelly Bean update. My Razr Maxx (practically new) was slow, lagged, and gave me about 10 hours of battery life. Also, my Wi-Fi was horrible just 10 feet from the wireless router and it ran hot.
    Before I chucked it for a used S3 I decided to do what others had done. Keep in mind, the phone had been previously factory reset after the JB update had been OTA'ed to the unit a few months ago. It was put in a drawer as the person bought a new phone.
    So to be clear: It had gone through a factory reset but without clearing internal memory and had serious issues. I had cleared the Dalvik cache but it didn't help. Here's what fixed my phone:
    I did a battery recalibration. This can be done by running the phone down to zero. Shutting it off and charging it overnight. This may have to be performed twice.
    Backed up my files, removed the mSD card and from the OS, erased the internal storage. I also went into the Settings / Privacy and set Automatic Restore to off.
    I cleared the Dalvik Cache again.
    http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-razr-maxx/232462-how-wipe-cache-without-doing-factory-reset.html
    I  booted into safe mode.
    http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=50079
    From the OS within safe mode, I performed a factory reset and had it clear the internal storage again.
    Started the setup process.
    Cleared Dalvik Cache again.
    The result is a smooth "buttery" feel (well, as smooth as this platform can offer) no massive lagging like before where the phone would just lock up for five seconds, no over heating, WiFi is seemingly normal and battery life is Maxx instead of Min. To give you an idea, the phone had been on light use and on for maybe 13 on battery when I did the reset. I did the hard reset from a 65% battery and reinstalled all the apps over WiFi and reconfigured. At 2:30 a.m. it was at 1 percent so I set the screen to 100% brightness and played a video until it died about 3 a.m. Basically the screen was on and the phone being used from around 9 p.m. until 3 a.m. after coming off the charger at 8 a.m. the previous morning.
    Will this work for you? I don't know but I know the Jelly Bean in place upgrade on this phone is pretty flaky from the complaints.
    If your phone has been turned into a pile of junk by the update, you have nothing left to lose unless you're just using it as a bargaining chit to get a new phone from VZW.
    Good luck to anyone who tries it.
    If you are trying to diagnose battery issues, I recommend GSAM.

  • HT4972 Why I can't update my iPad to the iOS 7.0 when I go to general there's no section for update

    Why I can't update my iPad to the iOS 7.0 when I go to general there's no section for update.please help

    If you have an iPad 1G you cannot run iOS 7. If you are currently using iOS 4.x.x then you cannot upgrade OTA. Instead do this:
    Give this a try:
    Download Apple – iTunes 11.1. Connect your device to your computer and open iTunes. Select your device under the Devices heading in the iTunes' sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in iTunes' main window. Click on the Update button.

    My ipod touch 4g doesn't show option for ios update in setting-general page. Can i update it via itunes by connecting it to computer?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it says place the iPod in recovery mode ue one of these programs:
    For PC
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    For MAC or PC
    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • Getting an error message that unable to check for software update when trying to download new iOS 8.0.2 update ?? Can someone help ???

    Getting an error message of unable to
    check for software update when trying to update to
    ios 8.0.2. Can someone help ??

    Howdy there otss1979,
    It sounds like you are unable to download the iOS 8.0.2 update either, over the air, or using iTunes. If you are updating the software on your phone in Settings > General > software update I would recommend starting with this article:
    Resolve issues with an over-the-air iOS update
    If you are using iTunes, I would use this article instead:
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
    If you are getting a specific error number, the following article will help you get that resolved:
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors
    If this does not resolve the issue, could you please write the error message you are getting word for word for me?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • I'd like to update the ISO 4.2.1 on an old iPod Touch to ISO 7.  Can't find "Software Update" option under General Setting.  Where might I look for the option to slightly upgrade the ISO for this device?

    You likely have a 2G iPod and those can go higher than 4.2.1
    A 3G can go to 5.1.1
    IA 4G, with cameras can go to iOS 6.1.6.
    The 5G, also with cameras can go to iOS 8
    To update
    The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    - A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10 or higher. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.
    - A 3G to 5.1.1  Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
    - A 4G to 6.1.6  Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

  • HT4972 I don't have the software updates in my general settings so how do I get the software updates I'll need for Facebook & instagram etc?

    I don't have the software updates in my general settings so how do I get the updates to use instagram, Facebook etc? Any help appreciated

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.
