Bose Noise Cancelling Not Compatible with Iphone

This really disappointed me as I am always use to connect my Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones with Ipod , but not able to connect to iphone. I thought the iphone has standard headphone output. I like my Bose headphones when I am traveling in airplane or subways as it really cancels most of the noise.
Please let me know if anyone has any solution.
Thanks

Here is the text of the email I just received from Bose:
Thank you for your message.
iPhone incorporates a deeply recessed headphone jack that makes it incompatible with most headphones on the market, including Bose. We will soon introduce an adapter that will allow our headphones to be compatible with iPhone. (Belkin, Monster and other accessory companies will also offer generic adapters)
Thank you for contacting Bose Corporation.

Hi Ckuan,
Thanks a lot for your advice.
Deleting the correupted back up means to delete the information of one month since the last back up I made is one month ago.....right?
This back up I made right before I restored my iphone. During the restore however my OS was upgraded to 5.1.1. and reading the comments on the internet it seems I am not the only one whom experience this problem.
Can it be that if I downgrade my OS back to 5.1. the back up will not be considered as corrupted? If so, how do I downgrade the iphone?
Thanks in advance.

Hi...
I'm trying to erase the restored backup on my MacBook Pro that was meant for my iPhone 5... I found out the software is corrupted and continued to affect my phone. Where do I find it And how do I erase it to start all over?
On a Mac your backups are in /Users/<your username>/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
(Open Finder, hold the Option key, and select "Library" from the Go menu to get to your user's Library folder.)
In Windows, the fastest way to get to your backup folders is:
- (Windows 7 and below) Start -> Run -> type %appdata% (with the percents) and press return.
- (Windows 8) Search -> type %appdata% (with the percents) and press return.
From Application Data, navigate to Apple Computer, Inc. -> MobileSync -> Backup.
You can match your device identifier with the backup folder name by clicking on the Serial Number field in iTunes (which will switch it to your device identifier.) Delete (or rename, if you're worried about making a mistake) the folder with the matching identifier.
I know this thread is about a corrupt backup blocking updating the backup process, but in case anyone is having a corrupt backup blocking a restore (a much scarier problem,) and you don't have the original device/data to make a new backup, I hope you'll take a look at the information I've been writing about fixing backups on my company's blog:
http://deciphertools.com/blog/2014_07_11_itunes_could_not_restore_backup_corrupt /
We have been looking at fixing the corrupted backups, which may be helpful for you!

The message read on the computer is Because the back up was corrupt or not compatible with iphone. Delete the back up for this iphone then try again.

Iphone 3gs won't back up in itune on the computer, but it will sync. the message read on the computer is because the back up was corrupt or not compatible with iphone. Delete the back up for this iphone then try again.

Launch iTunes. Then from the menu bar at the top of your screen click iTunes / Preferences then select the Devices tab.
Delete any iPhone backups.
Quit then relaunch iTunes. Connect the iPhone to your computer and try syncing.

Device not compatible with iPhone

My new car (2010 Nissan Versa) has an auxilliary input port that allows me to play mp3 music through the radio. It worked great with my old iPod, but when I try to connect my brand new iPhone 3gs, I get an error message stating that the device (the car radio) is not compatible with the iPhone.
I like the iPhone, but really want to listen to my mp3 music and podcasts through the car radio. Is there some way to resolve this issue?

I have 08 altima with 3gs and updated OS4.0. emailed Nissan and told me my phone was not compatible. I cannot use the factory oem bluetooth since the update. Funny thing is it was compatible with the 3.1 OS and says so in writing in Nissan book. Apple told me it was a Bose firmware issue. I want to revert back to old OS.

IPhone 3G Dock not compatible with iPhone 3G (or 3G s)

I bought an iPhone 3G dock a few months ago and I'm having problems with it. I had an iPhone 3G and recently upgraded to the 3Gs. This problem is on both phones, but more often seen with the 3Gs. When I plug it in, I get the message telling me "this accessory is not compatible with the iPhone and asks me to turn on airplane mode. When I say no, the message haunts me multiple times. It's really annoying when I charge the phone at night since the screen turns on multiple times, waking me up; or when I have it charging on the dock and an audio out cable plugged into external speakers. (When the message comes up, the audio stops). I've heard a few people talking about this but haven't found a solution. Is this just "the way" it is with 3G docks, or is mine faulty? If so, has Apple recognized it and honors a warranty? It's pretty annoying IMHO and seems pretty out of character for Apple Quality Control...

I occasionally get that message with a standard iPhone usb cable -- the once that came with my 3GS. This could be due to debris in the connectors: It would not take much to make for a bad connection.
You might want to try cleaning them by using a clean dry toothbrush.

Car stereo not compatible with iPhone since iOS 7

Since installing iOS 7, my iPhone 4S is no longer compatible with my Pioneer car stereo to use video. I can still access my music and contact for bluetooth, but when I try to use Netflix for example, it gives an error message on my phone. This was working normally when I was using iOS 6, so there is a glitch with iOS 7. I can't seem to get any help from Pioneer or Apple support...so I'm asking you folks to help me please! Is there a way to get this working again or do I have to wait for the next software update?

In another thread on this issue, Brendan writes:
Turns out restarting my car and/or rebooting my iphone "fixed" the issue. Apparently this was unrelated to the iOS 7.2 upgrade. Honda + iPhone has been rock solid (even if the Honda Fit UI is terrible), so I'm not sure what to make of this problem. Maybe a glitch? Who knows.
Here is the URL for that thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/25211736?ac_cid=tw123456#25211736
His suggestion worked for me: turn off your car, completely shut-off your phone and let it sit a few minutes. Then reboot phone and start car and try again.
Good luck!

IPhone not compatible with iPhone dock

Hi,
I've been using my iPhone with both the original iPhone dock and the universal dock for a loooong time, but the past few months there has been a problem.
When the iPhone is connected to the iPhone dock/universal dock it says (rough translation): "This equipment is not designed to work with iPhone, do you want to activate plane mode [...]"
But all is original apple equipment and all should be compatible - what can I do ?
Thanks
Jens, Denmark

Mine is currently doing this, it is also not shutting off, it reboots right after I try and turn it off, and it is not charging through my Macbook either. It won't even show up in ITunes. When I connect it it says that a USB device is draining too much power and has been disconnected. Terrific. Can't charge and won't shut off.

How to fix New Bose SoundDock Portable not working with iPhone 4s?

I am having trouble working with my Bose SoundDock Portable with my iPhone which i bought on monday.
I have a iPhone 4S running on iOS 5.1.1 and nothing is working. Not charging nor playing music. Thought it was going to be as simple as plug and play. So annoying.
I've tried turning my phone off & on = NOTHING
I've tried removing the universal adapter to test if it had been a connection problem = NOTHING
It had been suggested in other forums to check if the 30 pin dock connector on your iPhone was clear. Clean and tested = NOTHING
I'm starting to think
A) Its the new update of iOS 5.1.1
or
B) Its a faulty Bose product.
Both Bose and Apple website both confirm that the iPhone 4S is compatable with Bose SoundDock Portable.

Is there anyway to fix this?

Thank you so much for sharing.
I had the same experience, now tried to reinstall iTunes et voilà.
Looked for suggestions around several forums but nobody suggested this.
And it works.
Thank you again.

IPod AC charger not compatible with iPhone? Overheating!

I was charging my iPhone with an old AC adapter that uses the firewire cable from my iPod back when they shipped with them, and I don't know what was going on, but the iPhone became scorching hot to the touch. I checked the AC adapter specs, and they are definitely different than the iPhone AC adapter.
Does anyone know definitively whether or not old AC chargers are unsafe? Seems like there should be a warning or something. If this wasn't the cause of the heat, I need to figure out what else is wrong, because I can't imagine the temperature was within normal operating limits.

There isn't a version that will work with iOS previous to 5, according to this Apple article.

I-tune software not compatible with iPhone and iPad

When I connect my ipad or iphone it says that the required itunes software is not installed, despite me reinstalling it AND it running fine on my ipod. I have recently had to have Windows reinstalled and run Trend virus protection which also has been reinstalled. I have had computer technicians working online with it trying msconfig to try and sort it out, only to tell me it is an Apple problem!

I don't know that this will work but have you tried disabling your firewall and turning off your anti virus software? That's a typical troubleshooting step if the iDevice is not being recognized so I'm not sure it would work for you but it is something you can try.
Try some basic stuff if you haven't done so yet restart your PC and see if that helps at all. Restart the iPad as well.

New iPad air 2, numbers not compatible with iphone

I have just upgraded my iPad first generation to a new iPad Air.2. I have a problem with numbers spreadsheets which I access using my iPad and iPhone via iCloud. The iPhone is a 3GS with ios6 and the latest version of Numbers it will load is version 2. The new iPad air comes loaded with Numbers version 3.
If I amend a spreadsheet with the iPad then I cannot open it with the iPhone. I have been on apple chat and they say I cannot downgrade the numbers app to version 2 on the iPad. Only solution they can come up with is to buy a later iPhone.
my question is
Apple say that numbers version 2 cannot be put on the iPad air. Does anyone know if there is a way of putting an old version of Numbers or iWork's on a new iPad.
any help would be appreciated

I have tried using the free app iSpreadsheet. It loaded Ok on iPhone 3gs and new iPad and appeared to sync via iCloud but I did not fully check this. The main problem is that the spreadsheet is limited to 50 rows so is no good for me.
Work around I am going with is to upload spreadsheet from new iPad to Dropbox in exel format. Then download from dropbox to Adobe reader on iPhon. I have found that Adobe reader is quicker reading the exel format file than converting it to PDFs. Seems odd that a pdf reader is better at reading xls files than pdf files but there you go.
i have not mentioned in the above but I have a Mac with numbers version 2 also linked to iCloud. This cannot be upgraded to numbers version 3 without an upgrade to the operating system. I also have excel on the Mac so I am going to look at putting the free exel app on the new iPad so that at least I can sync it with the Mac.
the annoying thing about this is that
