Bluetooth issues with IOS 5.0 and Volkswagen

Ever since 5.0 came out my VW bluetooth connects ok in the car however when you leave the car ,the volume on the ringer stays at two bars and is almost inaudible. There are also playback issues at times of music when connected to VW bluetooth in that the volume stays at zero volume and i have to turn it up to hear the music. The ringer volume problem is the most annoying as it causes me to miss calls. Is anyone working on this?

Great news everyone!!! I installed iOS 5.1 beta on my iPhone 4 and the volume Bluetooth problem is gone!!!
For most unless you are in the Apple iOS developer program you won't be able to install it yet but once it's released the problem should be fixed.
Something to note.. I did have to turn the volume up once after it connected to my 2012 VW GTI. Since then it has stayed where I put it and I couldn't be happier.
Not happy with how long it took to get resolved but nonetheless happy it is resolved. Let just hope it stays resolved when it goes public.

Keyboard issues with IOS 8.02 and iPad Air

Does anybody know how to fix the following issue...
When using iOS8.02 spotlight search on my iPad Air in Landscape mode
the keyboard (Apple keyboard, not 3rd party) stays on the side of the screen.
Spotlight search is in landscape mode...but the keyboard is in Portrait mode
Never happened with IOS7...Started in IOS8...not fixed in 8.02
I can temporarily fix it by rebooting the Ipad...but it just happens again and again
The keyboard works when like this...but it is just sideways
I have not installed any 3rd party keyboards, I have only ever use the Apple keyboard

additional info:
3 apps had updated before this bug started:
------- 500px (fixed layout problems),
------- Google (some Now card issues&iphone6plus bugs),
------- Google+ (voiceover crash)
deleted the three WHICH IMMEDIATELY FIXED THE BUG!!!
then reloaded one at a time and tested -- the bug has not returned, as of yet ...
suggest looking in Apps\Updates and see which apps have updated since the bug appeared ... delete them and reload them.

Performance and Graphical Issues with iOS 4.3 and IPod Touch 4th Generation

My Ipod touch is only a week old and I just updated it to iOS 4.3 from the original firmware, but after I updated the device it seemed to start generating white lines in the status bar area unexpectedly. Then at the same time my device would stop responding for a couple of seconds or become extremely slow. I also notice that my album art is misplaced and/or obscured and nothing is misplaced on iTunes. I've restored it two to three times. The device can not be downgraded so I'm not sure what to do.

Hmmmm... you know what... some of my album art was misplaced also... mainly for my "Unknown Artists" but still... Oh yeah and everyone knows about the glitch on the top bar, theres a post with about 20,000 views on it so maybe you should check there

IPhone 6 BlueTooth issues with iOS8

Ok here is my findings:
Tried 2 iPhone 5 units before iOS8 and no issues with Bluetooth (1 I had for 2 years and no issues in my car). Once updating to iOS8 the bluetooth didn't work well at all for phone calls but music connects fine. Strange issues with the unit automatically start dialling but not able to cancel call until you disconnected bluetooth.
Also incoming calls ring but unable to answer and seem to lock up so you have to disconnect bluetooth to hang up.
I tried everything listed in the forums here and what the Apple reps told me. It works for a short while until the phone gets turned off or synced with iTunes. Now I have a new iPhone 6 with iOS 8 and it worked initially before I started setting things up.
I did not restore from a back up, I started as a new phone. Once I installed all my apps (Not in iTunes, rather manually over the air) and changed settings on the phone (not sure if it because of changing settings or turning the phone off) it would not connect to bluetooth in my car anymore, well it does just for music. I have tried my wife's iPhone 5c and it seems to work fine with my bluetooth so it definitely has nothing to do with my vehicle.
Apple there is a definite issue here. Stop telling me and other people to contact my car manufacturer to fix the issue. It all worked fine before iOS 8. Something needs to be done ASAP or I will be returning my phone and jumping ship to an Android or Windows phone as much as that may pain me. I have been a loyal Apple customer for the last 7 years. If this is how you are going to treat me and other loyal customers, you will not keep us for long.
I am hoping someone from Apple is reading this. If so I am expecting to be contacted. We expect a resolution fast!

I had same Bluetooth issues with iOS 8 on my iPhone 6; no phone/no music streaming although showing as "connected" with my 2 vehicles (VW and Audi).
Apple telephone technical support team solved issue with both cars as follows:
1. Delete the phone from handsfree memory in the Bluetooth car settings.
2. "Forget" the handsfree device (car) in the iPhone Bluetooth settings.
3. Reset ALL settings in iPhone (not just network settings)!!
(note: I had to reset ALL settings twice in a row for this to work.)
It worked in both cars! (Hope it stays working.....?)
You will have to reset wallpaper, and most other settings, as well. Certainly worth the trouble to get car Bluetooth up and running properly.
Good luck.

Is anybody else having problems with iOS 7.1 and Home Sharing?

I have two iPhone 4's - one I recently upgraded to iOS 7.1 and the other running 6.3.1. The phone upgraded to 7.1 will not connect to my (rather large iTunes library) on my Mac Mini (running 10.9.2). The 7.1 phone does see the library - and attempts to connect - but the progress indicator stops at about 50%.
I've tried de-activating sharing on the Mini and then re-activating. I've tried restoring the 7.1 phone from a back-up. No change.
Also - now the 6.3 phone will connect to the library - but the playlists have no entries and 99% of the library is missing.
Before the upgrade - the phone now running 7.1 never had any issues with Home Sharing.
Anyone else out there having issues with iOS 7.1 and Home Sharing?

I've had no problems with Facebook on my iPhone 5 but here are a couple of suggestions.
1. Quit Facebook like I describe then reset the iPhone. Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
2. If the first thing doesn't help, quit Facebook again, delete Facebook, and reset the iPad. After the iPad restarts use the App Store app to download Facebook again.

Issues with IOS and WPA2 Enterprise

Hi,
Done a lot of searching on this, but can't find anything useful!
I've got a network running WPA2 Enterprise using AES and PEAP/EAP-MSCHAP-V2
For some reason, all our apple IOS devices connect to the network fine and are able to accept the server certificate, but can't seem to access anything over the network such as the internet once connected. I'm currently testing an iPad mini with IOS 7.0.4
I have other devices such as laptops and a Windows Phone 8 devices, and everything works fine.
Am I missing something here? What could be causing the IOS devices to stop accessing the network?
Cheers,
Carl.

Bluetooth issue in ios 7.1

I am facing the Bluetooth issue in ios 7.1 iphone.In ios 7.0 it works fine without any problem.I am using the EA framework for reading/writing the data in my application.Still I have not got any correct solution for this scenario. I am having a doubt that this issue is happening as because of EA framework which I am using it or do i need to change any settings.Could someone tell me the solution for this problem?

1.I am using an external Bluetooth kit by which I will send the command through my iphone application.I will communicate with the external Kit through a command that writes and reads the data using External Accessory framework.In lower version except IOS 7.1 i was able to communicate properly without any issues.In EA framework implementing a delegate method I could able to write/read a data.
2) Right now I am facing an issue only in ios 7.1 where I was not able to read any data from the external Bluetooth Kit.I have researched regarding this issue in all the sites I got to know some information that because of EA framework issue in ios 7.1 where I am able to communicate.But still I have a confusion that its happening because of EA framework or any other ios issues.

When will these issues with iOS 8.0.2 be fixed?

Admittedly, this problem has been going on since Apple released the core iOS 8 software, but it's glaring (worse) here. Let's go to the beginning.
I own an iPhone 4S 8gb and upon release of the core iOS 8 software, I installed it like a fool and I didn't know that a lot of problems came with it, so the next morning, my iPhone's internet (connected to a WiFi network) was shotty as sin and I really needed it at the time because of a Transit thing I was doing until recently. The features that came with the iOS 8 is impressive, but I also was shocked when I couldn't even listen to my music for a whole day (I fixed that when I hooked up and synced in iTunes), despite my library having the same number of songs before the update on the iPhone. Now, I've heard of these problems from a friend who apparently works for the Apple tech department days after I discovered them myself, so I waited for the next update in hopes that it'd fix all of the core iOS 8's problems, but... short and to the point, this update is even worse than the core software. Problems include, but not limited to:
Safari lags like crazy at times, especially when you're trying to type something. Also, Safari seems to not direct you to Google unless you searched for the topic again; I don't like doing that. I like typing in a research topic in Google's engine only once.
Siri is much worse than the 7.1.2 software; the assistant can't tell what you're saying 69% of the time. I'm also not pleased with holding the home button to speak to the assistant and continue holding it until you finish speaking to her/him.
Apps freeze and become unresponsive and in common cases, they crash in the middle of the night (a perfect example would be YouTube) while I'm sleeping (not 100% sure who's to blame for this, Apple or the app developers themselves).
(refer to the lagging Safari bullet) The keyboard lags on you badly and I'm not just talking about Safari, this problem is every where you need the keyboard in, including basic texting in iMessage.
The Music app apparently can't judge your selection at times, like, when you select a song from your library, it takes 3 hard pushes on the touchscreen to select it and sometimes, it randomly selects the next song under the one you want to listen to.
Did I mention the constant lag?
I'll probably find more problems as I scan though the iPhone tonight, but above are the main problems that I have with 8.0.2, not 8. I know what you're probably saying: "Why not just downgrade back to 7.1.2 where you didn't have barely any problems at all with your iPhone?" Well, apparently, Apple stopped signing the software when I tried to restore the iPhone in iTunes to that firmware, so I find it completely pointless to try to downgrade. My core question is "When will these issues with iOS 8.0.2 be fixed?" I know the iPhone 4S can work with the newest iOS, because, if it wasn't, iTunes wouldn't have notified me of the update. I was thinking of getting an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus June or July of next year, but if the software is still buggy at the time, I'll stick to my 4S until my contract ends at the end of 2015

Also, I've noticed that the 4S' battery life is horrible even if there's just music going on in the background. Common battery life for the iPhone is 3 hours (just having music and data active) and most of the time, I'd have to carry my USB charging cable with wall socket so I don't have to worry about it shutting down on the go and I know it's the software that's the problem because it wasn't like this prior to iOS 8.0.2 or even the core iOS 8. Common battery life for the iPhone on iOS 7.1.2 was atleast 7-9 hours on the same conditions as listed above.

Can I share a bluetooth headset with my iPhone 4 and my Mac?

Can I share a bluetooth headset with my iPhone 4 and my Mac? I don't mean both at the same time. I just think it's silly to buy a separate headset for each. I'd like to be able to sometimes use the headset with my Mac and other times use it with my iPhone. Is this possible? How hard is it to set up and is it annoying to switch over from one to the other.
The headset would be used 75% of the time with my iPhone.

Contacts can be synced direct with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 via the iTunes sync process along with syncing calendar events, notes, and reminders. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
If you don't use Outlook for contacts - your Outlook address book is empty, before the first sync for this data enter one contact in the Outlook address book. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data.
Or if your iPhone 4 is running iOS 6, you can create your hotmail account using the hotmail account preset with the iPhone's Mail app per the instructions included with this link. If your iPhone 4 is not running iOS 6, you will need to manually create the account as an Exchange account.
http://www.wikihow.com/Sync-a-Hotmail-Account-on-an-iPhone
Regardless if you have any contacts available in your hotmail online address book, you should be provided a merge prompt when turning contacts on for over the air syncing with your hotmail account settings on the iPhone, which you want to select. This will merge your existing iPhone contacts with your hotmail online address book and merge your hotmail online address book with your iPhone contacts.
To have the contacts available on the iPhone 5, create your hotmal account with the Mail.app on the iPhone 5 followed by turning contacts on for over the air syncing with the account settings on the iPhone.
Or after syncing your iPhone 4 contacts direct with your Outlook address book, sync your Outlook contacts with the iPhone 5.

Is ther some limit to the number of books or total storage used in IBooks? Thanks....

Hi jybravo70,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you may be experiencing issues on your non iOS 8 devices because iOS 8 is required to set up or join a Family Sharing group.
The following information is located in the print at the bottom of the article.
Apple - iCloud - Family Sharing
Family Sharing requires a personal Apple ID signed in to iCloud and iTunes. Music, movies, TV shows, and books can be downloaded on up to 10 devices per account, five of which can be computers. iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are required to set up or join a Family Sharing group and are recommended for full functionality. Not all content is eligible for Family Sharing.
Have a great day,
Joe

I have an iPhone 5s with iOS 8.1 and iMovie no longer shows up as an option to export to through garageband. How do I fix that?

I Dont know what changed or when it changed, but I created a song in garageband on my iPhone 5s with iOS 8.1 and I selected it to export it to iMovie and when I selected that iMovie wasn't an option. I'm not sure if it's a GarageBand issue or an iMovie issue or an iOS 8.1 issue. Can I change it in settings or do I have to wait for another update or what?

Which screen exactly is missing, when you select a song in "My Songs" and press the "Share" button
? The "Open in ..." in the first screenshot?
You may have to scroll the panel upward to see the second row with the
After pressing "Open in", you will first see the dialog to set the parameters of the shared song, before the second screen will be presented.
Do you see the second screen, but iMovie is missing?

TS1398 I have the ipad retina display version - I have a BIG issue with this when out and about that on about 50% of the time will it see my HTC mobile WiFi hotspot - rebooting either, or both devices doesn't cure the problem it drives me MAD!!!!

I have the ipad retina display version - I have a BIG issue with this when out and about, that only about 50% of the time will it see my HTC mobile WiFi hotspot - rebooting either, or both devices doesn't cure the problem it drives me MAD!!!!
The HTC hotspot works fine with everything else I connect to it.
Also - ipad will not connect to my HTC via bluetooth. Again, I can connect to everything else with my HTC other than my ipad.
I have to say this is my first venture into Apple products and I have always wanted to get away from my windows based laptop to get a MacBook, the problems I have had (flash player etc) & continue to have (as above) are putting me right off swapping over. I HATE technology that doesn't work and my ipad has been hard work!

I stated my ipad as being an ipad2, but I now think it is a 3??? It was new Jan this year and is the 64gb retina display version.
I really would like to get to the bottom on this problem wit mobile hotspots as it is sitting on my desk next to me now and I cannot get it to connect to my HTC mobile hotspot!!!! It might be taking a flying lesson soon at this rate!!! Grrrrrrr...........

Sync issues with iPhone 6 Plus and iTunes

I'm having issues with syncing my iPhone and iTunes.
I am running: Mavericks 10.9.3 | iTunes 11.4 | iOS 8.0.2
Every time I try to sync my iPhone 6 Plus with iTunes, the sync process gets stuck on step 5 of 5 (waiting for changes to be applied). The longest this has occurred for is 2hrs. After this time I have stopped the sync and ejected my iPhone.
I had another issue with my phone when playing music. When going to play music, I was given the error message saying that the song could not be found. I connected my iPhone to iTunes and went to the tab in summery page, 'on this iPhone'. I found the song and could see that next to the song was a small what looked like dotted grey circle. After Googling this, I found a video saying that if i was to remove all my music and then add it again, this should fix the problem with this song. I did this and this was when the issue occurred again.
I unticked the option to remove all music but the sync did not finish. So I cancelled the sync, ejected my iPhone and tried again. This time, the summery page of my iPhone said there was no music on my iPhone and the 'on this iPhone' tab, this all so said there was no music however, my music was still on my iPhone including the song that would not play. All played ok.
I have read lots in the Apple forums about lost of difference reason this may be happening. Things like bugs in iOS 8, app updates being transferred during the sync process, the latest iTunes version has bugs and even a dodgy USB cable could cause it. My iPod running iOS 5 syncs all ok but I get this problem as well on my iPad Air.
I all so had this issue with my old iPhone 4S. The problem occurred when running iOS 7 and 8 on the 4S. When I had it on the 4S, I did a restore of the 4S 4 times and thought I had found the issue down too a dodgy app. However, now that it has happened on my new iPhone and still not using that app, could this be an issue with my Mac/iTunes?
I am in contact with Apple Care, but this is such a long process.
So if anybody could please offer any advice on this or steps to try to maybe solve the issue, it would be really helpful. Or if anybody is experiencing the same problem, it would be good to know its not just my devices and Mac producing this sync problem.
I will update my post with any information provided by Apple Care as and when I get it.
Thanks for reading and thanks for your time.
Mark.

Hi,
Just wanted to updated my original post and give some more information on this issue that I'm having with my iOS devices running iOS 8.0.2 and iTunes 11.4.
Firstly I just want to updated my details about what version of Mavericks I'm running. I'm running 10.9.5 - I put the wrong version down in my original post.
So over the last week, I have had a few phone calls with Apple Care an am dealing with a senior technical advisor about this issue.
I have been given some instructions that I am currently working through to see if it solves the sync issue with iTunes and my iOS devices.
The Apple Care advisor has pointed out that a iTunes version issue with music that I have ripped to iTunes and the current iTunes version could be what is causing the problem. For example, every song that I have purchased from iTunes since having an account, I was told are all exactly the same the same when it comes down the to data/information about that track/album that iTunes stores with the music but when it comes to music that I have added to iTunes myself from a CD, this was added and encoded with the version of iTunes that was running at the time of adding the music. So going through all the music that I added to iTunes over the last 10 years, you can imaging that there was lots of mixed version of iTunes linked to lots of different music.
At the moment, I'm having to go through all my music and find any that I have added and create a new ACC version of that music and delete the old version. However, due to the amount of music that I have, this is going to take a long time. When I was on the phone to the Apple Care advisor, we did several albums as a test and they all synced over to my iPhone. This may just have been luck though at that time.
Now, I'm not saying that this will solve the problem that I have with the sync issue but I am going to try it and see how I get on. The only down side to this fix as far as I can see at the moment, is that when it's all done, I think I will have to fully restore all my iOS devices to get music on to them.
I will of course updated this topic when I have got through all my music and tried to sync my iOS devices.
Thank you all for your comments.

Is there an issue with iOS 8.2?

It seems like there are a lot of people that are experiencing issues with iOS 8.2. I guess it was just a coincidence that this happened to me when I unknowingly updated my iTouch out of the box.
Missing songs and playlists after update
Nothing has worked to fix this. Is there an Certified Apple representative on this board that can address this with all of us? If so, what is the timeframe for fixing these issues?

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

DANG! What's with iOS 7.1 and Wallpaper?

>_< OK, I love to put my own pictures on my iPad wallpaper. iOS 7 messed this up with being unable to scale and position anything except Apple's wallpapers. So I actually got an app (Wallax, used to work pretty good) to take care of the scaling so I could use my own pictures again.
Now, with 7.1, the Wallax app is broken, and I don't think it's their fault. Apple seems to have changed the rules out from under them... again.
C'mon, Apple, why can't you just let us put up our own dang pictures, scale 'em however we want, put black around the edges if you need to, and let us get on with customizing OUR DEVICES? People have been customizing phone and computer wallpaper for DECADES. We LIKE to be able to do this! What's your problem?
Having gotten that off my chest, does anyone out there have a workaround for this latest Apple paternalistic disaster?
