IPhone 4s/BlueTooth/IOS6 update

I have not had a good experience with the IO6 update.  I have an iPhone 4s.  When I updated my phone other day, I lost all of my contacts for some reason,  I was able to recover them, but the next thing  I noticed was that my Bluetooth  (Plantronics model M155) was not able to pair with my phone.  I have tried everything: turning on/off Bluetooth, turning on/off the phone, turning on/off the Bluetooth device and nothing seems to work.   I read somewhere about turning off Siri and that did not work either.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks! 

Via iTunes. I thought I was backing up to the Cloud, but I was not. I was able to get most of my contacts back, but still lost all of my text messages.
Still cannot use my Bluetooth. I have an appointment at the Genius bar tonight.  I hope they can fix my problem.

  • FaceTime won't stay connected on WiFi on iPhone 4 after iOS6 update

    My boyfriend and I both have the iPhone 4. We rely on FaceTime to video chat with each other as he lives in another city from myself and our daughter. We used FaceTime almost on a daily basis over WiFi prior to updating to iOS 6. Since updating to iOS6, neither of us can get FaceTime to maintain a connection to the other for more then a few seconds. FaceTime connects, then the screen goes black says reconnecting and it's a 50/50 guess as to whether it will reconnect and we can see each other for a split second before it goes black and reconnects again or just simply disconnects us. This has been happening for weeks now. I've been in touch with Rogers "technical" support and was told that since we only have iPhone 4 and are using FaceTime over WiFi that they can't do anything to help and I need to contact Apple as it's an Apple Server issue.
    Does anyone have any suggestions other then telling me to upgrade to the iPhone 5 so we can use FaceTime over 3G?

    So you're saying that it's only your phone that has the wifi problem? Like your friends are using the same wifi as you, but only you lose connection while they don't?
    If that's the case, does the wifi have a passcode? And also some wifi networks have a verification before the wifi becomes accessible. For example, you may connect to a wifi network without having to put a password, but then you would need to open Safari and you would need to confirm some things before you're able to use it. Like in college, the wifi is free and open to everyone but only students who have a user and pass are able to access the wifi.
    2nd possible solution is to reset your network settings. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. See if that works.
    3rd, restart your phone by turning it on/off.
    4th, restore your phone on iTunes.

  • Apps cannot be downloaded OTA on iPhone 4 after iOS6 update

    My apps couldn't be downloaded after I updated to iOS 6. It says 'Waiting'. What do I do?

    Single tap the app's icon on the home screen and it will pause the download. Now go back to the iTunes App Store, switch to the "Updates" screen and click "Update" to resume the download. This is what I do on my iOS device and the fix works most of the times.

    Hi Can anyone tell me if i update my iphone 4 to IOS6 update am I going to lose my txt messgaes on the phone ? Im confused ! Thx CC

    The No Service means there is a problem with cellular service. You mention wifi in your title. Which is it you are having trouble with? What happens when you switch on and off as you state in your post? Are you saying that wifi does not connect while at home either?

  • After ios6 update, I have lost all control of audio via Bluetooth, plus my Bluetooth car radio is no longer displaying track information from the iPhone. Help!

    After ios6 update, I have lost all control of audio via Bluetooth, plus my Bluetooth car radio is no longer displaying track information from the iPhone. Help!

    Hi there,
    You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
    You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
    Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
    Nathan

  • How can I get my iPhone 4 w/ iOS6 to Connect bluetooth with my Alpine CDE-133BT Car Stereo?

    My iPhone 4 with iOS6 will not send a bluetooth signal to the Alpine CDE-133BT Stereo I installed on my 2006 Toyota Tacoma. It had previously connected with iOS5. I contacted Crutchfield where I opurchased the stereo from and they said this is a common complaint with multiple brands of stereos not being compatible with the new iOS6 update. Has anyone had this issue and has a solution? Or is this something that Apple will have to fix?
    BTW, my phone recognizes my stereo as a bluetooth device but the stereo does not recognize the phone.
    Thanks.

    Hi I've had my CDE-133BT since July and recently updated to IOS6 on my iPhone 4 (not an S).
    I had to hold the BT phone button and forget all the devices paired to the 133BT.
    Then pair the phone again.
    I can stream music now however I can't control (change tracks, pause or play from the 133BT).
    This is because Alpine needs to update the firmware I believe.
    Hope that helped!

  • I updated my IPad 2 and IPhone 4S to IOS6 and now I am unable to use Music on my IPhone (All is well with the IPad2)

    After updating my IPad2 and IPhone 4s to IOS6 I can not use the Music function on the IPone to play songs.  The IPad 2 is okay.  Help!

    This is what I have discovered. If I purchase an app that I've never purchased before it does download to both devices. Seems to only work when a never before used app is downloaded. If I have previously downloaded an app before I began using iCloud to sync multiple devices the apps don't appear on all devices.

  • I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS6.  In the process, I ran into a problem and had to restore factory settings.  After syncing the phone, I see that 218 apps need to be updated. When selecting "update all," it says "manage local device storage usage." How?

    I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS6.  In the process, I ran into a problem and had to restore factory settings.  After syncing the phone, I see that 218 apps need to be updated. When selecting "update all," it says "Cannot Download.  There is not enough available local storage to download these items.  You can manage your local device storage usage in Settings."
    How can this be the case when I haven't changed any apps from before updrading to iOS6, and I don't have any music yet on the phone?  Why is it telling me there is not enough local space?

    Hi RileyAvaCadenRiver,
    If you recently updated your iPhone to iOS7, you will need to update iTunes on your computer to iTunes 11.1 or newer for it to correctly recognize the iPhone. You may find the following link helpful:

  • I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago avaiable.  Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore which i assume will literally delete any new contacts added...?

    I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I recently sold my macbook air and also my mac book pro, so have no recent backups avaiable.  I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago available on an external hdd as a time machine backup.  Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore?  The reason i wish to do this is because in the update i didnt lose any messages, so all of the people i have met and networked with since that last update those many months ago, i have in my messages listings.  They are all unidentified numbers at present but over time i will be able to work through the messages and based on the conversation recall who each was with.  Also, yesterday, some two weeks after the update had left my contacts list entirely empty... a vast majority just reappeard, though all of them are without any phone numbers, all just emails or facebook contacts.  This is the work of facebook not mac/ios6 isnt it...?  Any help here would be greatly apprecaited.  I am about 2 days from flying to canada and having those contacts would make life a lot easier.

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

  • HT201210 I have tried to update to IOS6 and it has prompted me to connect to ITunes but when I do I keep getting the message ' There is no sim card inserted in the Iphone you are trying to activate'.  My phone is now locked on the IOS6 update screen!

    I have been without mu IPhone 4 since yesterday now as I tried to do the IOS6 update and since then it has messed up my phone and I am unable to access any of it's functions as it is locked on the update screen. 
    My phone was bought through Vodfone and have been on their network ever since, never had any problems like this.
    It prompts me to connect to ITunes and when I do it will not go any further as stating 'No sim card is inserted in the IPhone you are trying to activate'.  Well there is a sim in there and I have removed it and reinserted it on many occasions today.  I am also not trying to activate my phone as all I did was try to the update which I was prompted to do in my setting!
    I have seen many people on the net today with the same or similar problems but as yet I am to find a solution!
    Help, please as it is driving me crazy!!!

    Try a Hard Reset.....
    Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds.  Ignore the swipe to turn off message.

  • After iOS6 update, iPhone 4 doesn't sync calendar with iTunes

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 4. After update to iOS6 the sync of my calendar has a strange behavior! It doesn't sync anymore. When I enter a calendar entry on iPhone, it's not synchronized with the macbook Calendar.
    I changed calendar dates on my macbook - it won't appear on my iPhone4.
    I badly missed some dates, till I found that the Calendar doesn't sync.
    I also set in iTunes the marked, that on next sync the calendar should be replaced - but even then the new entries doesn't appear. Completely strange is, that if I delete the calendar on my iPhone and resync by iTunes, I get the calendar back, but the new or changes entries don't appear.
    What can I do, instead of waiting to get my new iPhone5?

    Now I have my new iPhone5...
    And what should I tell you?dar. Neither from iPhone
    There is still no sync of the calender from iPhone to MacBookPro and no sync of calendar entries from the MacBookPro to iPhone.
    I am helpless. I tried to replace the calendar - it syncs, but the edited entries do not appear - they were sync with the old entries. Where the **** do they come from?
    Normal Sync, nothing happens...what's a smartphone
    Does nobody have a guess or anything I can try? Really, this *****... what's a smartphone without a syncronized and working calendar??
