Bug? IPhone 3GS and iPad 1 running 4.3 only see one Home Sharing device

I have Home Sharing setup on a Mac mini, a MacBook Pro, an Apple TV, an iPad 1 and an iPhone 3GS. All versions are current (iTunes 10.2.1, iOS 4.3). All devices can see each other, except in the iPod application. The iPod application on either the iPhone or the iPad will only show the Mac mini or the MacBook Pro, and is not consistent as to which is visible. Launching the Remote app on either device detects the Mac mini, the MacBook Pro and the Apple TV, so the computers are definitely advertising their libraries. Has anyone else seen this? It seems like a bug to me.

In case someone finds this in a search down the road, here's the problem:
When I setup my Mac mini I copied the library from my MacBook Pro as a starting point. Because of this, I also copied the unique ID of the library. My iOS devices were differentiating devices based upon ID, rather than name, so they looked like the same device. I deleted the library off my Mac mini, reimported the songs, and I'm good now.

    Try going into your account details on iTunes, change your info there, then sync your devices.

  • TS3581 iphone 3gs and ipad 2 won't bluetooth connect to my laptop

    I can't get my iphone 3gs and my ipad2 to connect to laptop using bluetooth

    You are in some luck. Google "GNS 5870 MFI". It is a Bluetooth GPS that works with iPad. Cost $99.99 on most sites. There is also a product called "Bad Elf" that connects to the docking pins that gives GPS functionality to the iPad.  I own neither so can't vouch for them but there are quite a few reviews for both products. Good luck!

  • Sudden problem on iphone 6 and ipad in downloading e-mails to one e-mail address

    From this Sunday afternoon one of my two e-mail addresses/ accounts, on both my iphone 6 and ipad, won't download e-mails. Things were fine from when I bought the phone at Christmas to Sunday afternoon. The download spins as though accessing the internet but Updated Yesterday appears (was last updated 13:51 25th Jan 15).
    I have no idea what is causing this have deleted the account and re-entered it. The other e-mail account works fine on both iphone and ipad.
    Urgent as run own business and can't access e-mails except through internet connection.
    Can anybody help or does anybody else have same problem please?

    Hi Anon2015,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communites.
    Here is an article on troubleshooting email issues on iOS devices. Since it is happening on both your devices, I think step 2 might be the key.

    Please ignore this post, being that I just discovered the fix action for this problem, which involved installing the software download" iPhone SDK update. Thank God!

  • Music on iPhone 3GS and iPad 2 unusable in iOS5

    ARGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH
    YOU LOST MY POST! I can't retype all that, I am SO angry
    About 20% of my music no longer works, or plays the wrong song on ios5. Always worked before since original iPod and iPhone 3GS on iOS 3. Problem with same songs on both iPhone and iPad. Mostly MP3s but also on some PURCHASES.
    FIX IT QUICKLY
    If anyone else has lost this IMPORTANT and very BASIC functionality on their device too, please post. If anyone can suggest anything beyond syncing again (taken music off and back on 3 times now, some songs persistently don't work, other songs randomly start failing and then work after either a device restart or syncing again) or converting all these songs to AAC (again, it's not just MP3s that aren't working) - which would mean losing my import dates, play counts, rebuilding playlists and still not being able to guarantee any improvement in the functionality of the devices - please help!
    APPLE, PLEASE PUT BACK THE AUDIO CODECS FROM IOS4. Sadly, while Apple products usually stick to the line "it just works", this is the total opposite in iOS5 where "it continues to surprise me just how little works"

    If the Apple ID is waiting for verification and you haven't received the email with the verification link, you could try going to https://appleid.apple.com/, click on Manage My Account to the right, sign in, under your primary email address click on "verify now", which should resend the verification email.  This is from Apple:
    I didn't receive a verification email (within 48 hours).
    Sign in with your Apple ID account and resend the notification. Search all of your mail folders for any emails coming from 'apple.com'.
    I didn't receive a verification email (more than 48 hours).
    You'll need to restart the registration process. You can reuse the same account information.

  • I have setup iCloud on my PC (running Windows 7 64-bit) but when I attempt to setup my iPhone 3GS and iPad, both running 5.0.1, I receive an incorrect user name and/or password error message even though they are the correct ones.

    After receiving the error message, the iPhone locks up while the message " veriffying" is displayed.

  • Hi, I've a 3GS and iPad (on 5.1.1) and Macbook (10.6.8) all connected to iCal on iCloud, but when I change an event on phone it doesnt update on iCloud/other devices - any ideas?

    Hi,
    I've an iPhone 3GS and iPad '1' (both on IOS 5.1.1) and Macbook (on 10.6.8) - all connect happily to my iCloud iCal (using the iCal app for iPhone/iPad and Firefox browser for access to my iCloud).
    But ... when I change an event (add/delete) on my iPhone it doesnt update on the iCal on my iCloud, therefore neither on iCal on my iPad!
    Yet if I change anything on my iCal iPad / iCal iCloud it updates/refreshes on the iPhone fine?
    So - it clearly recognises/refreshes any updates but can't update the iCloud!
    Any ideas?
    Don

    If you're also having problems changing the account on your iOS devices, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • @Media selector in CSS: how to tell iPhone 3Gs from iPad

    Hi all,
    I have a question concerning the capabilities of the @media selector.
    From what I read in the documentation, @media, in AIR, supports these parameters
    - os-platform (IOS, AND, MAC, WIN)
    - application-dpi (160 = less than 200; 240=less then 280: 320: more than 280)
    how does one tell if the device is iPhone 3gs or iPad?
    both are IOS, both have application-dpi less than 200 (163 for iPhone 3, 132 for iPad)
    it would be useful to use max-device-width, but I guess it's not supported? it's not working for me...
    thanx!

    I've just fell on my face with the same problem. Apparently, there is no way to have different styles for iPhone 3GS and iPad inside the same application. @media selector does not let you do that. It wouldn't be a big problem if we could use theme swf files the same way we use them in Flash. But we can't do that either because loading executable code (which the theme swf is) won't work on iOS due to security restrictions. Please correct me if I wrong but it means that you can't have one application binary with different styles for iPhone 3GS and iPad.
    What makes it worse, it is not that easy to reorganize your project to build two applications: one for iPhone 3GS, another for iPad using the same application project and different build scripts (ant). It would be possible if we could link a theme compiled as SWC library. But it doesn't seem to work if you have references to skin classes and images in your css. At least after multiple trials I couldn't make it work.
    The only solution that comes to mind is to have two application projects: one for iPhone 3GS, another one for iPad. And keep everything else in libraries. I wish I could see its coming earlier so I would organize my project that way from the beginning.
    It seems like a major flaw in design of the media selector. And not just because you can't support both iPhone 3GS and iPad in one application. For the same reasons you can't have different styles for iPhone 4/4S and new high resolution iPad (both have 320 dpi screens). It would be pretty easy to fix by just adding an additional tag to the media selector.
    I wish I was wrong and there is a solution for this problem already. Please share your experience if you had the same issue.

    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • IPhone 4s and iPad unable to update to 5.1 on device and through iTunes

    Getting errors when trying to update to 5.1 on iPhone 4s and iPad 1. Iv tried to update through the device and on iTunes and its not working. Both devices are NOT jailbroken. iTunes saying network connection can not be established. And trying through iPad's software update on the device says " Unable to check for update. An error occurred while checking for a software update."  And I clearly have internet connection. So not sure whats happening.

    Ok, so I found that it seems to be a problem for some reason with my DNS Server settings from Charter.  I changed my DNS Servers to Googles 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and now its letting me download the updates. I have no clue why this would matter. Never has been a problem before in the past but that is how I got it to work.

  • I cannot sync notes between iPhone 4S and iPad 2. Both devices are running iOS 5.0.1.

    I am unable to sync notes between iPhone 4S and iPad 2. Both devices are running iOS 5.0.1. Any solution?

    So, my DNS is comming from my ISP.  It's the same list of IP addresses for all our other devices that are working: 2 PC's 2 Laptops, a PS3 and a WII, an iPhone 3gs running IOS 5.0 and an iPhone 4 running IOS 5.0.
    The ONLY two devices that are having issues are my iPhone 3gs running IOS 5.0.1 and my iPad 2 running IOS 5.0.1.
    Soooooo,  there is something incompatible with my ISP's DNS and IOS 5.0.1?
