My iphone is no longer able to be controlled by speaker dock or car stereo

I have a speaker dock and also an iphone connection in my car. My iphone 4 still connects to both and I can charge and play music through them, the problem is that the control functionality of both docks no longer works. I can connect friends' iphones and they work fine (I am able to skip tracks, etc) but with my iphone I cannot. Anyone got any suggestions?

Interesting. I thought about posting the same answer, because I, too have had the same experience with video drivers. I wasn't sure if this was a problem that anybody else was having, but evidently it is.
If you dig deep down into LabVIEW manuals, it does make a suggestion to drop the colors to as few as you need. My driver was having problems with 16 million colors, so I dropped it to 256. All my problems disappeared when I did this, too.

I upgraded my ipad 2 to ios 5.1 and it no longer recognizes or plays through my speaker dock. Help!

I just upgraded my ipad 2 to ios 5.1 and it no longer recognizes or plays through my speaker dock.
I have tried:
- multiple soft and hard resets (including various sequences published on this site... no luck)
- reseting the ipad settings (location, wifi, etc)
- 2 complete system wipe-out and restore cycles
- changing every setting I can think of
I still have normal sound from the device when it is not docked. When docked, my device still charges and it clearly recognizes it is plugged into something (as the volume slider will no longer function with the side keys while docked) but it won't play and eventually it gives me a message that says "accessory not supported by ipad." This speaker dock is designed specifically for ipad (brookstone idesign boombox) and worked flawlessly until 2 days ago when I installed the ios 5.1 update.
Please help!

Not quite the same problem but my speaker dock no longer charges iPad1 and iPhone4 since upgrading to iOS5.1 but was playing and charging only the day before, extremely annoying as I have only had the dock about 3 weeks now.
I haven't tried my iPad3 yet, but will assume that it will do the same

Bought iPhone 6 yesterday. Also bought dock works with iPhone 5/5s. And cord connecting iPhone 6 to USB port on car stereo. No sound comes out of dock or car stereo. In store today, iPhone 5 running ios 8 worked on dock, not iPhone 6. When Apple fix?

I bought an iPhone 6 yesterday. I also bought a stereo dock that works with iPhone 5/5s. And a cord to connect iPhone 6 to USB port on my car stereo. No sound comes out of the stereo dock or car stereo. In Best Buy today, Sales Associate tried his iPhone 5 running iOS 8 on a stereo dock. It worked, but my iPhone 6 didn't. When will Apple fix this problem? Or is Apple pushing everyone to Bluetooth?

The iPod feature that plays through USB in my car does not work with my iPhone 6 either. I called AppleCare and they said that the car audio system will need a firmware update. Don't know if Apple is just passing the buck, but that is what I was told. Thank you for posting. I know now that I am not the only one. Thanks also for posting about the iPhone 5 running iOS 8. I gave away my iPhone 5 to a friend so I wasn't sure whether this is an iOS 8 issue or an iPhone 6 issue and your experience seems to confirm that it is a problem with iPhone 6. I guess I will just be using Bluetooth in my car, at least for now.

My iPhone 4 plays music at a low volume when connected to a car stereo

My iPhone 4 plays music at a low volume when connected to a car stereo either by fm transmitter or aux cable. The volume on the phone is full and the car stereo is full yet you can barely hear it. Anyone else had issues with this

I seem to remember someone several months ago having this same problem and I think it turned out to be the AUX cord.
FM transmitters tend to have low volume associated with them as well from my experience.

Iphone 5 no longer able to sync to itunes...HELP!!!!

Hey guys, I have tried numerous atempts to getting my iPhone 5 to be able to sync with my MacBook Pro but to no avail. It seems as though this all started after updating to the new OSX Yosemite as well as updating to the new iTunes 12.0.1. Whenever I connect my iPhone 5 to my laptop, no matter what it is not showing up in my devices or being recognized. I have tried different cables, reset my iPhone, restarted everything, etc etc etc. It's not being recognized at all and everything under devices is grayed out in iTunes even when the phone is plugged in via usb. I'm not even able to sync wirelessly anymore. PLEASE HELP!!!! This is driving me insane! I have always been a strong supporter for Apple and have never had any issues in the 10+ years I've been an Apple user so this is quite disheartening.... Thank You!

I also had this issue since updating to iTunes 12. My phone was not showing up in "devices" at all, yet it was syncing to iPhoto just fine. What ended up fixing the issue for me was turning both my phone and computer off and back on again, and unplugging any other USB devices so that only my phone was the one connected. It then synced just fine.
FYI, I am running iOS 7.1.2 on an iPhone 5

TS1398 iPhone 4s no longer able to scan for networks

It appears my iPhone 4S no longer has the ability to scan for networks, so I'm unable to get WiFi service. All other devices in my house (husband's iPhone, iPad, computers) are connected to wifi. I've reset my iPhone network settings twice. I've tried also manually entering the network to which I receive the message "Could not scan for for wireless networks." Is there a way to fix this myself, or do I have a hardware issue? Thanks!

Hey,
Install the HP Easy Scan app from the Mac App Store, then open it from the Applications folder:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hp-easy-scan/id967004861?mt=12
Once you are done scanning click the Save button, may you select JPG from the app?

I have an iphone 4s and when i originally bought it before any updates, i was able to play videos on my jensen vm9312hd car stereo with the iphone link cable. Since the first update i havent been able to play videoes. Any ideas?

The first update that removed the youtube icon also stopped my ability to watch videoes from my phone on my jensen vm9312hd car stereo. Is there a way to fix tgis?

Maybe someone played around with your volume limit, try Settings>Music and then volume limit if not reboot your iPhone (hold sleep/wake and home button for about 10 seconds should start up again it self if nit then switch it on normally) and if that doesn't work then reset your settings.

Why does my iPhone 5 automatically launch iTunes Player when I plug it into my car stereo?

Whenever I plug my iPhone 5 into my car stereo using my Apple USB, the iTunes Player automatically launches and starts playing music from my library. I'd really like to know how to stop this from happening as it's annoying as heck! When it happens, I have to open the player, select "now playing", pause it, swipe the player closed. I'm fully updated to 7.1 also. Thank you for any help you can offer!

Surely there's a relatively easy fix for this but no Apple Rep wants to enlighten me Yet
Come on guys .. this really drives me crazy a minimum of 5 times a day.
What's the fix ?!?

Could I harm my new iPhone 4s trying to charge it on a iPod speaker dock?

On my desk at work I have a Centrios iPod speaker dock/radio from Radio Shack. It also charges my iPod and I'm wondering if it might be an option to use this device to also charge my iPhone at work? I looked over the manual that came with the speaker dock and it does not mention connecting an iPhone to it. Could it do any harm by trying?

Its funny how easy it is for people to complain about something when they dont understand the full scope of it. AT&T isnt going to spend lots of money jsut to update its servers for a launch of a phone, it jsut doesnt make sense in a busness sense. Anyways they were prepared, they hired lots of support staff to answer phone calls to tell customers to wait until the server traffic lowers. That was their cost effective solution instead of updating server capacities.

IPhone 4s no longer able to sync with iTunes

My iPhone 4s seems to be going through the motions of synchronising and I haven't had any synch issues prior to now but I can no longer transfer files to the phone. iTunes is showing my phone and contents in the sidebar but every time I try to synch a digital movie download (from Paramount and specifically downloaded for iTunes to and to play on all Apple devices) and a music track ripped from one of my cd's I receive a notification with either 'iPhone locked' or 'not recognised.' I have tried sending the files both via iTunes and My Document files and also synchronising from the phone itself. I have also un-authorised and re-authorised my laptop but am now at a loss as what else to try I have tried searching the communities but have been unsuccessful so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

I also had this issue since updating to iTunes 12. My phone was not showing up in "devices" at all, yet it was syncing to iPhoto just fine. What ended up fixing the issue for me was turning both my phone and computer off and back on again, and unplugging any other USB devices so that only my phone was the one connected.

After uploaded 2.0.1 to iPhone, am no longer able to download pictures

iPhoto does not open when I connect the iPhone. When I open iPhoto manually, there is no device listed to provide an opportunity to import pictures. However, iTunes can still sync pictures, etc. I have already restored the iPhone once. I can still take picture with the iPhone but can only send them via e-mail ( and just recently that has started to fail). Any insights would be appreciated.

I think this may not be a browser problem but rather a Google problem.
I am getting the same problem with the Google Chrome browser.

Iphone 4 no longer changing audio source to make call via in car bluetooth.

Hi, I have an Audi A4, my iphone 4 connects to it, you can look at the directory's, calls made, missed etc,
When you want to make a call or receive a call, the audio source from the phone is not put through the car, its only goes through the phone.
Checking the iphone, it used to show a list of audio sources i.e. the car's bluetooth connection, the speaker or the phone.
No it doesn't show the car's bluetooth.
My HTC Desire S has no such issues and voice can be heard through the car's bluetooth, so I assume that the car's bluetooth is not at fault.
Thanks for any help

I had this same problem with my iPhone 4 and my BMW. I deleted the pairing and paired the phone to the car again, and the same issue occurred.
I reset the iPhone by pressing the on/off switch and the home button and that worked! The audio sources showed up and I was able to get audio from the car.

Why is my iPhone 4S no longer compatible with my Sony ICF-DS15iP dock since updating to iOS6.1?

Since updating to iOS 6.1 my iPhone 4S (16GB) is no longer compatible with the Sony audio dock. Obviously the FM radio still works fine, and when docked the phone still charges, but now when you play music the audio only comes out of the phone's integral speaker and not routed to the amplifed speaker in the dock.
Any ideas how this can be corrected, without rolling back to iOS 6.0 that is??

Hi Duke,
Did you get this to work. I have same issue.
Thanks

HT6154 when I had my Iphone 4s i was able to use the bluetooth feature in my car now but now that I upgraded to the IPhone 5s I can not do so can somebody please help me

once I upgraded to the Iphone 5s my chevy 2014 cruze will no longer sync with the blue tooth can someone please instruct me how to fix this problem. I love the handsfree feature that both you and chevy offered me

Remove the iPhone from the list of devices in the car. Remove the car from the list of devices in the iPhone. Turn Bluetooth off on the phone and reset the phone. hodl the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and release. The phone will reboot. Turn the car on and put the radio into discovery/pairing mode. Turn Bluetooth on for the iPhone which puts it into discovery/pairing mode. The two should see each other.
