Last update does not work with Ford Sync with Applink

Spotify has been working all right with the Ford Sync with applink in my car (C-MAX, late 2014). However, with the last update of the Spotify app from Play Store, just a few days ago, it has stopped working, because it is not detected by the car. Even when manually searching for applink enabled applications, it can't be found. It' really a pity, because it had worked perfectly until now, and it is a really impressive feature which I would definitely like to use again.
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini, with Android 4.3 and the latest version of the Spotify app (2.2.0.636). I am a premium user from Spain.
 

Our current situation is that my wife's phone connects via the AppLink to Spotify and shows track listings but doesn't allow shuffling or playlists to be displayed, she controls it via the phone if she wants to change playlists. My phone has connected once since I first posted to Spotify which came up with "Spotify powered by Ford" on my phone screen and allowed me to do absolutely everything you desired via the Spotify AppLink and "froze" all interactions directly with the phone, absolutely everything!!! Now it is back to not even detecting Spotify so have to connect via BT Audio. It has been like this for several months now however the most recent update (last week?) means that I now get track info up on the display! Twice however the display showed the first track only and once that finished and the next began, the display still showed the original track. Ironically at the same time, our 2010 Focus also began showing the correct track info on the display, this is the first time in the whole 5 years we've owned the car that my phone has displayed track info on the Focus, my wife's phone has always done it! I have found out that although we both have Samsung S3s that we got via carphone warehouse on the same day, hers is always one software update behind mine so never has the most recent OS. Strangely though, when I last updated my OS she also had notification to upgrade, she did, and she still is one behind me! I think there is something far more sinister in all of this but at least I get my tunes in the car, if not in the most desired way.
My overall opinion is that it is a great system if you have the right OS/phone it works great (I know someone with a 2015 model having the same issue with their i-Phone) however the continuing upgrading of OS and App means that the system isn't always compatible and never will be until they allow auto-upgrading via the Bluetooth connection and therefore phone internet connection in the UK. Apparently the US models all allow you to download the most recent software for the radio onto a USB stick and just plug it in to upgrade. Annoying.

  • I love new updates; I read the information, but missed that Dashland, as with last update, does not work. Can't live without it. I've updated. Now, what to do?

    Last update clearly informed me that Dashlane did not work with the update. I read the information this morning before downloading and did not see that once again, Dashlane will not work. I must have access to my passwords. Do I have any recourse other than re-installing the last version of Firefox? Or, using Safari in the interim so I can use iCloud to reveal passwords?

  • Automatic update does not work

    On my both computers (Windows 7, Window 8), the automatic update does not work at all, although it is activated in the options. All I get in the Firefox info box is that an update is available, with a link that I have to follow to download the installation file and install it manually. No difference even if I wait for weeks, the update is neither downloaded nor installed automatically. The problem persists in all Firefox versions since version 3.6.16 / 2011 (the last update in the chronicle). Note that the automatic update seems to perform well in the Windows XP mode of my Windows 7 system !

    It will update eventually; there may have been availability problems on the update servers.

  • HT1338 my software update does not work using OS X 10.6.8: update icon just stays static and times out, although web is online

    My software update does not work: the icon jams and then times out, although web is online. How to resolve??

    Snow Leopard DVD:
    You can get it only by phone now from Apple.
    In the US, call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a sales assistant. Last quoted price was $19.99 for the single-user and $29.99 for the family licence.
    For other countries, check here; http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    Don't forget to ask for Sales; the tech support guys can't help.
    When you've installed SL it will be 10.6.3. You need to update that to 10.6.8 with the combo installer from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 - that gives you access to the Mac App store.
    Lion is only available by phone also - same number and they'll give you a download code to use in the Mac App Store.
    If you're going to Mountain Lion you don't need to install Lion first - you can do it straight from Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    Specifications;
    Snow Leopard 10.6.x:
    Lion 10.7.x;
    Mountain Lion 10.8.x:
    As for Lion, but also must be one of these groups;
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminium, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)

  • Windows update does not work after using System recovery disk

    I have a Toshiba Satellite c655 with WIndows 7 64 bit Home premium. The hard drive died on it, so I purchased a new hard drive and purchased the appropriate Recovery media from Toshiba. I followed the directions and installed the 3 disks on to the new hard drive. But Windows update does not work I get the following error: Windows update can not currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your PC    No matter what I try, I can not get it to work. And it will not let me install Windows Defender either. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time on this matter.
    Solved!

    I get errors saying A problem is preventing the troubleshooter from starting.
    That makes two similarities to the following thread. Both Windows Update and Troubleshooters fail to work correctly.

    There is a world of information in these forums if you use the search function near the top right of this page. Just type in NAS for example and you get many threads on the subject (marked with a green checkmark if it solved the question) another example would be Airport Exterme and sound system. Once you formulate your ideas better then specific questions can be addressed one at a time. You may find that a less expensive choice for a server might be a mac mini. Good luck with your project, ask more specific questions and update you systems profile.

  • I got a iphone 5 but it does not work on my MacBook with Mac OSx 10.5.8  it says i need OSX 10.6.8 but it will not download because I need OSX 10.6 but it would load either. How do I get the older operating system to work with the IPhone5?

    You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

  • HT201412 Sound works (songs) on Ipad 2 but sound on videos (example utube) sound does not work. Video plays with no issue.

    Sound works (songs) on Ipad 2 but sound on videos (example utube) sound does not work. Video plays with no issue.Mute us not checked in general settings. Reboot (off/on) has not helped. Deleted apps and reloaded them. Did not help. Any other suggestions thank you

    If you lose sound for games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • My play count (& last played) does not work after itunes 11

    I've read many posts claiming if you turn off crossfading that you can repair the new play couny/last playedt problem in itunes 11. That does not work for me ( I have never turned on the crossfading ever ).
    Now when I listen to my audio books on a shuffle (has no screen),  I can't see what chapters I have already listened to (when I plug my ipod back into my desktop).
    Any other advice?

    Apple needs to recognize this issues immediately, I'm a huge fan of Apple products like paulgarb said, it's a good product cause it works, every tv and mobile device in my home are linked because of homesharing, but now it does not work with no seemingly simple solution to solve the issue anywhere in site. I have always stood by Apple products and always recommend them, however I hope I did not put my foot in my mouth, my father has just spent a good amount of time scanning old family pictures and now he wishes to share them on his tv, tried multiple solutions for him with the devices he already has, none would work (ie streaming through googletv, ps3...) so I told him the simple solution is to just get an appletv for $99, he said fine get it for me for Christmas, usually I have a hard tie getting a gift for him, but now I finally have an opportunity to get him a gift I know he wants, but with homesharing issue apple has yet to acknowledge I feel appletv might be a moot point for him. Im praying that my father has not update his itunes yet. It would a great gift if apple could acknowledge the issue and fix it before the 25th.

  • SQL UPDATE does not work

    Hey Guys,
    I have an update sql query which does not work with PreparedStatement object. Heres the code snippet:
    PreparedStatement pstmt;
    int numUpd;
    pstmt = con.prepareStatement(
    "UPDATE item_articles SET dataFile=? WHERE itemID=?");
    con.setAutoCommit(false);
    pstmt.setBinaryStream(1,fis,(int)file.length());
    pstmt.setInt(2,item.id);
    numUpd = pstmt.executeUpdate();
    con.commit();
    What I am doing here is that setBinaryStream(...) will upload a file into the DB. The query executes, theres no exception thrown, but my table shows empty field for the file. Note, there are no exceptions thrown from this query.
    If I do the same thing for an INSERT statement, it works. The file gets into the DB. So , the file is there on disk, and theres no problem with it. Just that it does not work with UPDATE.....any clues ???
    thanks
    Askar

    I think UPDATE commands dont work well with blobs.
    I use to select the register with a ResultSet, then get a BLOB Object from the column.
    So you can use a OutputStream to Upload your data.

  • The Create List Item workflow action does not work in document library with document template

    My end goal is more complex but below is a basic example of the issue I’m having that just simply does not work.
    I'm trying to use a site workflow to create an item in a document library that has a document template applied to it but the file that gets created by the workflow is corrupt and cannot be opened.
    I created a document library and edited the document template by adding some text to the header and changing it to a Word docx file instead of a Word dotx file. I tested the document template by clicking the files tab in the ribbon and then clicking new
    document which opens the document template in Word and allows me to edit and save the document back to SharePoint. Then I created a SharePoint 2013 site workflow in SharePoint Designer that contains a single Create List Item action, and that action creates
    an item in the document library with the name field statically defined. I published the workflow and then manually start it on the site. The workflow completes successfully and when I navigate to the document library the document has been created by the workflow.
    When I click on the document to open it in the Word Web App it throws the error pictured below and if I open it in the Word client application it just opens a blank document and not the correct document template.
    I also tried using a SharePoint 2010 workflow with pretty much the same results. Opening the document in Word Web App gives the same error as above and opening the document in the Word client application gives the error pictured below.
    Come on Microsoft creating a Word Document in a SharePoint Document Library from a SharePoint Workflow should just work! Is this a bug or does anyone have any ideas on what is causing the this issue?

    I had the same problem with corrupted document - this worked for me:
    1. Create a 2010 Workflow which creates the list element in a document library
    (you may start this workflow from your 2013 workflow if applicable)
    2. In the Create New List Item properties - make sure to set ContentTypeId to your content type
    ("Id for indholdstype" is Danish for "Contenttype ID")
    3. Your Content Type template should be a ".docx" file - NOT a ".dotx" file...!
    (I have always created my templates for content types as .dotx files - seems Microsoft wants us to use ordinary .docx files as template files for content types)
    Hope this helps you!

  • Spotlight does not work on iphone 6 with ios 8.1.2

    Since a few weeks the spotlight search does not work anymore on my iphone. I tried removing all subjects in the setiings menu and adding them again.

    No, it should work with the iPad. It's not a matter of what version of iOS is on the device.
    The card reader has never been compatible with any iPhone. It is compatible with iPads.
