Bluetooth and direct cable connectivity

Hi All,
Have a iPhone 3GS, and a Ford Territory. It has both bluetooth connectivity for phone, and a native cable connetion for the iPhone/iPod. My issue is thus...
If I have bluetooth turned off on my iPhone, and have the phone connected through the native connection, I can run the iPod functions of iPhone through the vehicle console.... but I cannot make a call... there appaears to be no functionality to make a call through the native connection.
I then turn on the bluetooth on the iPhone. I then switch to the phone screen in the car... voila, I can make calls.... unfortunately though, if I switch to the iPod screen to of the car, the music is running, but no sound.... if I then swtich make to the phone screen, it comes up "bluetooth streaming" and music comes out...
basically, having the bluetooth connection for phone knocks out the ability to have the functionality to run your iPod through the console screen
I hope people understand what i am saying... any help would be great

First of all, you are in the wrong section. However, to determine which section is the correct one for you, you need to know the product name of your PowerBook. Is it a 12", a 15" or 17"? I guess it is a 15". Is it a Aluminium or a Titanium? Or is it even a PowerBook G3?
Have a look yourself. A PowerBook G3 (Firewire) and a PowerBook G4 (Titanium series) uses the old original Apple AirPort Card which can be found on the Internet resellers. The PowerBook G4 (Aluminium series) uses the current AirPort Extreme card.
Then go this way and use the search feature there in the upper right. Here at the Bluetooth section, you are wrong with your Belkin beast.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

What is different usb cable and direct cable?

What is different USB cable and direct cable?
Some cable detect by USB port directly like DKU-5.
But not CA-42 cable why it just simple cable. Also in market available fake is it working Nokia mobile phone

Hello,
These are two different technologies. One is USB oriented and another one for COM-port. I use CA-53 (USB-cable), which suits to the latest phones.

Can Apple TV produce sound output on a wireless speaker and a cable-connected speaker simultaneously?

My situation is this:
I have a one bedroom apartment. In the main room, I have a Bose Soundlink (via bluetooth, which may be my first problem!!!). I just got an Apple TV (3) and want to connect it to the TV in my bedroom. I was considering getting some not-too-expensive speakers to improve upon my TV sound. One goal of this would be to be able to access my iTunes music and play the same thing in both rooms.
I gather that Apple TV is no good at hosting two or more wireless speaker signals, but I'm hopeful it can manage a wireless and a direct cable input??? Does the TV need to be on to facilitate this or can it just go directly through the Apple TV? And what use, if any, woudl the optical audio output do for me in this situation?
Thanks for any and all answers!

You said the Optical to the home theatre doesn't work, do you mean it had the same sound issue or that the OA to Home Theatre didn't produce any sound? If the latter then first check the cable is working (red light on the tip once the other end is in the ATV).
Sorry I am not addressing the main question of poor sound as others will know that better, but the OA issue might be solvable and improve your listening, unless of course you have rented The Artist

Bluetooth and direct call from Outlook 2010 issue

Hello.
I connect Nokia 5300 via Bluetooth and can call from Nokia Communication Center. But when i try to call from Outlook, phone begins dialing and immediately shows strange icon "D" and break dialing.
If i connect via USB - all work without any problems - form Nokia Communication Center and from Outlook also.
In OS Nokia is shown as Standard Modem via Bluetooth (Microsoft)
PC Suite 7.1.6
Windows 7 x64 Ultimate RUS SP1
Outlook 2010 x64

Workstations are on a domain
Also it may appear to be more of a issue with 2000 .pub type of files. As users can create a 2010 .pub file and it works great fine. But every time a user opens a 2000 .pub file via outlook and tries to edit and save it requests the
user to do a save as, vs. save to outlook temp location.

Burning iMovies, Dead Superdrive and Crossover Cable Connections - oh my!

Is the following solution to my scenario possible:
I have a dead Superdrive in one of my eMacs and am unable to burn (obviously). I would still like to use the eMac to create movies using iMovie but am wondering if I can connect this eMac to another eMac using a crossover cable, and use the eMac with the working Superdrive to burn the DVD?
I have a fear that this wont be possible if the video files need to be on the computer that is doing the burning. I teach at a school and money is not freely accessible (I realize I could get an external burner and problem solved but this might not be possible and am looking for alternate solutions - maybe this is too crazy for anyone to have attempted before).
Thanks for any and all input.

Probably a slightly easier and faster way to access the iMovie project from the "defective" drive eMac is to hook the two emacs together with a standard Firewire cable. Now boot the eMac with the bad drive and the project into Target mode. This makes that eMac look like an external hard drive to the other Mac and will appear on the other Mac's desktop as a drive. Now simply open the project directly off the hard drive of the eMac and it will be no different than loading the project from an external drive. Or you can simply copy the project over into the other eMac.

Strange noises when ipod touch power plugged and headphones cable connected

Hi everybody,
this is my first post. It has been annoying me for a long time now.
The thin is, when I plug in the ipod via charger or USB cable and I want top listen to music while it charges i get this crackling noise and a high pitch one as background atmosphere which is ok if you listen to loud music but very annoying if you listen to calm music.
I want to connect it to my stereo and i found out that when I disconnect the power cable its allright. When I put the audio cable on the metal sufrace I just get the crackling noise without the pitch and when its plugged into usb and connected to my ipod I can modify the noise when i scroll on the touchpad. Its like scraching on vinyls but not cool.
I don't know what to do. I mean sometimes you want to listen to music AND charge your ipod right?
Has this happend to anyone?
Best regards

Well thanks for pointing me to that feature, I didn't notice it before, but nobody there really has the same problem.
They are complaining about not being able to charge and listen at the same time. This is histroy since iOS5.
I shure can listen to my music. And for example via bluetooth its no problem being connected and listen to music, even while I sychronize. But if I plug in the audio jack, and have the ipod charging I get this noises.
I hope the problem is now more precisely described.

Time Capsule and Ethernet cable connection

A simple question (I hope).
I currently have a 1TB Time Capsule working as my network wireless router and my Time Machine backup device. The TC is connected wirelessly to my iMac.
I would now like to connect the iMac to TC with an Ethernet cable in order to sped up my regular backups. (Heck, maybe it will give me a boost in Internet connection rates, too?)
My question is this - will simply plugging an Ethernet cable into my iMac and my TC work, meaning, will I have to drill down and change settings? Or will plugging in an Ethernet cable mess up a system that has for months worked flawlessly?
Thanks for the help!

So you are saying I should push Ethernet to the top?
Yes. That's how I have it. If Ethernet is first, it's my understanding that OS X will try to connect with it first. If an Ethernet connection isn't available, OS X will work its way down the list until it finds a connection. I know it doesn't stop at that point, as I routinely have simultaneous connections with Ethernet and AirPort. The AirPort signal where my MacBook normally is is weak, so I depend on the Ethernet connection. I'm guessing that the order of connection items may play some part in prioritizing the use of network connections.
I definitely DO want to keep my Airport connection (i.e., wireless network), as I do indeed need wireless internet in my home for my iPhone, iPad, and my AirTunes streaming (which is sent to my Airport Express).
What I've recommended won't affect any of that.

Laptop and Network cable connection

I am thinking of buying the HP - 17.3" Pavilion Laptop - 8GB Memory - 750GB Hard Drive - Dark Umber laptop [ http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+17.3%22+Pavilion+Laptop+-+8GB+Memory+-+750GB+Hard+Drive+-+Dark+Umbe... ]
But I want to be able to hook it up to my cable internet connection instead of going wireless. Can it do this [out of the box ] or do I need to adapt it somehow, or find another machine?
Regards,
Chuck {Removed per Forum Guidelines}

No, all you need is a Cat-5 or Cat-6 network cable.
If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.
I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

Direct cabled connection

What is supposed to happen when you plug a time capsule directly into a Mac via ethernet cable?
- Does a dialog box come up?
- Are you supposed to be able to see the disk in the Finder?
- Is Time Machine supposed to see it?
Mine does nothing when I plug it in using a known-good cable. Suspect bad ethernet port on Time Capsule itself - wondering what the expected behavior of a properly working one is?

Thanks James this was valuable info. to me - I have been running fine using my Time Capsule as a storage device wirelessly but could not figure out how to get my computer to mount it over ethernet for a large data dump. I couldn't find this answer anywhere and I always thought of the Airport Utility as just that - a utility for wireless airports. Should have been obvious I guess but it wasn't to me.

IPad and RCA cable connection problem

Have been using iPad with RCA cables to show pictures on tv. Last week, all of a sudden my iPad is saying that the accessory is not compatible with iPad. Any suggestions or feedback is welcome.

Have you tried restarting the iPad? (Hold down the power button until you get the red "slide to power off", do so, and then press the power button again to start the iPad back up.)

E65 bluetooth and MMS failure

My e65 cannot receive or send MMS via text or bluetooth and no longer connects to my Mac via bluetooth. i've had it about a year and take reasonably good care of it. i've tried turning it off, taking out the battery, mem card and sim card but this hasn't resolved the problem. can this be fixed easily?

One thing that you could try is to de-brick the Playbook
1) make a back-up of the Playbook then turn it off
2) start the Blackberry Desktop Manager on a computer
3) plug the Playbook still turned off
4) turn it on, and briefly on the computer you see that it offer to update the device, click on UPDATE
then you have to go through the sign-in process like when you first got the Playbook
If that still does not work, you will have to call RIM support to get it fix by them, unless somebody else as another idea
Good luck
Using the Playbook and the Z10 and the Z30 and loving them

Mini doesn't always connect bluetooth and external (USB) drives on boot

I have had a new Intel mini for 4 months now (we also have a PPC G5, which we love). In the last few weeks the mini started to not connect my Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, nor recognize some of my USB peripherals when booting up. When this happens, it also makes a repeated "startup sound - bong!" echo when the start button is pressed. I have two external USB drives, one 500GB Phantom and one 500GB WD MyBook. When the Apple logo appears at boot, I can see the activity lights flashing on the drives as the BIOS interrogates the USB connections, but after the Leopard start up desktop appears, the only drive shown is Macintosh HD, the mouse pointer is at the top left of the display and will not move, nor will the keyboard do anything. I have read every post on this subject and tried all of the resets suggested. Sometimes this works after a few attempts, sometimes it takes 6 or more tries - disconnecting all cables, and turning the computer on again and again. Occasionally the WD MyBook drive appears on the desktop, yet still the Bluetooth is unresponsive and the other drive absent. I am getting frustrated having to disconnect everything and trying to boot this thing up, sometimes for one hour or longer before I can use it properly (all of my work is on the external drives).
There MUST be a firmware update for this by now, because I see that I am not the only one experiencing these problems, and this is obviously some problem with how the BIOS is communicating with the bus.

Hi amyta pdx-
I'd be careful jumping to conclusions or the troubleshooting process may get clouded. For one thing those WD drives are junk and most people using them eventually have problems.
What happens with everything disconnected from the Mac except a mouse connected to a USB port on the Mac and the monitor connected to the video port only?
