Can anyone recommend a car charger and FM transmitter for my iphone 4s?

I recently purchased one from eBay but it didn't charge my iPhone 4s - it said - charging is not supported with this accessory.
Can anyone reccomend a charger and FM transmitter that doesn't cost the earth??
My only other slight problem is that my cigarette lighter is behind the handbrake so I need one that has a lead coming out of it rather have one that that is directly attatched to the cigarette lighter if you know what I mean!!!
Thanks in advance!!!

I was considering the same thing.  And, although I don't have a suggested product for you, I do have a suggestion...  I'm not going to buy a charger / FM Transmitter becasue it will cost me the better part of $100 and it will still not sound very good.  Instead, I'm saving up for a new head unit for my car that will support my iPhone via USB, allow me to connect to my car stereo via bluetooth for calls, and allow me to control my music via the head unit instead of the phone.  A little more cost but for much greater functionality.

  • Can anyone recommend a good Mac Calendar, Contact program for the iPhone

    Can anyone recommend a good Mac Calendar, Contact program for the iPhone. The one intalled is hopelessly inadequate and inefficient. 2 Main problems- The current iCal + Contacts programs do not link to each other. And there is no To Do List!
    Palm and MS Outlook had those features 6 years ago! Whats up with Apple?!!

    ical does have a to do list in it. either click the little pin under the calendar, or click show to do list in the view menu.
    i don't know much purpose behind needing to link ical and address book (not that i'm saying it isn't important at all - you obviously have some type of need for it). but it's got to be possible somehow, because you can set ical to make a calendar of birthdays from your address book contacts (in the main preference pane for the application).
    plus, i doubt there'd be another mac calendar application you'd be able to sync with your iphone, unless whoever developed it developed an iphone app to sync it with. probably wouldn't sync with your contacts/calendar apps that come with the iphone.

  • Can anyone recommend some good handlebar or bike mounts for the iphone 6?

    I'm looking for an iPhone 6 mount that does not cover my screen and will be stable for long rides. Does anyone have any recommendations?

    I would have to recommend the Tackform Freedom Bike Mount. It has an adjustable grip so you can customize the tension on your phone. It also gives you full access to your speakers and ports, etc. Works with any handlebar. ( It comes with a few rubber strips to custom fit to the bar size. Ultra Light design. It also comes with this rubber safety sling that grips the corners of the phone to provide additional stability. I originally got it to us the MapMyRide app and I've put about 2,000 miles on my bike so far and haven't found any issues.

  • Can anyone recommend any good books on leaning actionscript for flash?

    Can anyone recommend any good books on leaning actionscript

    Intermediate level
    I have been using flash for about 2 years more as a hobby
    than anything else, some websites etc but now I realise I am going
    to need to learn more actionscripting to do what I want, I have
    come to terms with the simple stuff like goto – basic
    variables – load mov – enough to programme up website

  • Can anyone recommend software to scan iMac hard drive for errors

    Hello Apple Community
    Can anyone recommend software to scan iMac hard drive for errors/defects/corruption?
    I've been having problems with hard drive for months and it finally froze on me so I reformatted and restored from Time Machine.
    Everything is fine now but I just have a feeling I will see the same problems occur because I simply restored to the exact moment from where I was having problems (i.e. Finder crashing/permissions issues/Volumes unmounting/Trash not working/Random error messages/Computer crashing when opening or saving PNG).
    I read that sometime Disk Utility doesn't always pick up on a defect or corrupt hard drive.  The whole time I was having problems Disk Utility said HD was ok.
    Is there software that can do a better job of scanning hard drive for errors and let me know if I need to get HD replaced? 
    Thanks
    Brad

    I agree with both.  Most important though is you backup your data frequently*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    That way if a problem should arise, and it is a result of the hard drive actually dying, you won't accidently kill the hard drive in the process of trying to detect errors.

  • Can Anyone Recommend Books About Mac and Tiger?

    Hello,
    I'm heading back to the homeland for a short visit in a week's time. I'd like to buy a book that can explain a few things about Tiger so I don't always have to visit the Apple Store and bother the Geniuses there.
    Can anyone recommend any good books about Mac and Tiger? I know of "Mac For Dummies" but I've never been a big fan of that series. Cheers and thanks.

  • I just got an IPAD Mini and wanted to buy extra chargers  Can anyone recommend a rapid charger?

    I just got an IPAD Mini and wanted to buy extra wall and auto chargers.  Are there rapid chargers made for IPAD Mini?  Can anyone give me a suggestion or two about what type to purchase?  Thanks so much

    My understanding is that the iPad Mini has a 5W charger. You could use Apple's 10W charger for older iPads or 12W charger for the new iPad. They will charge faster.

  • Can anyone recommend a truly functional and stable LaunchPad management tool?

    I've just started trying to use LaunchPad.  Up until now, I've just created a folder that contains links to my favorite apps and I have the folder in my dock.  Thinking that LaunchPad would be a good substitute, I ventured in.  To my dismay, the first view is a mess.  It's all of my apps across nine screens.  I could see myself having to spend hours dragging icons back and forth (I have an iPhone and iPad so I'm familiar with the exercise) so I'm hoping for a decent workaround.  I tried a couple management apps out there but they're flaky and things just kept resetting back to weird states.

  • Recommend a Car Charger with FM transmitter

    Hi there,
    I'm looking for recommendations for a good car charger for my 3GS that also has an FM transmitter so I can listen to music in my car. Something that plugs into a cigarette lighter socket.
    Thanks in advance

    Your profile says you live in California, so unless you live in Humboldt County or somewhere along the eastern Sierra, there are going to be so many FM radio signals clogging the airwaves, you have no shot of a pleasant experience with an FM transmitter. Long ago, back in the early days of XM radio, I had one with an FM transmitter. I was constantly trying to find a good channel, but there was so much bleeding across the spectrum, that it just didn't work. However, watching the faces of people in nearby cars trying to figure out why my music was coming out of their radios was kind of worth it!
    Most cars built these days have a AUX input, which gives the best sound. You can install one on almost any modern car using a Blitzsafe adapter. If your car is old enough to have a cassette, you can find an adapter at most electronics stores, and it works good enough.

  • What are my options for in car charging AND music playing for iPhone 3G?

    Ok, before you direct me to the other threads, I have read them, and I still don't know what product I can buy for my 3G that will charge my phone and play music in my car.
    With my original iPhone I was using the Griffin iTrip FM transmitter. It always gave me that message to ask if I want to switch to airplane mode. I would pick yes or no, then it would charge and play music.
    When I plug in my 3G I get the yellow triangle warning that says this device doesn't charge this phone (paraphrasing of course). It appears that it will play music, but if it won't charge my phone then I'm going to run the battery down fast. I rely on being able to charge my phone a bit during the day in the car.
    I do not have any AUX port in my car or any kind of iPod hookup in my car that I am reading about on other threads. As far as I know, an FM transmitter or a cassette adapater (I do have a tape deck) are my only options. However, since my husband's car that I drive on the weekends to work does not have a tape deck, I would really prefer a device that does not use a tape (also my previous experience with a tape adapter is that they stop working after a short while).
    The power port in my car is nearly at the floor, nowhere near the dash, so any device I use cannot require me to rely on the "on device" controls to control the music.
    I see this on amazon
    *Griffin PowerJolt Car Charger for iPod and iPhone (Black)*
    *Technical Details*
    *¿ Enjoy full use of your iPod or iPhone during car trips, and arrive with your battery fully charged.*
    *¿ Includes detachable Dock Connector to USB Type A cable that can be used separately to connect your iPod or iPhone to your computer.*
    *¿ Includes USB Type A to mini-B cable so you can charge while using Griffin iTrip or other dock connector devices that have built-in pass-throughs.*
    *¿ 2 Amp automotive blade-type fuse protects against spikes and surges and is easily replaceable.*
    *¿ Works with iPhone, iPod models that feature full-size dock connector, and iPod shuffle (1st generation).*
    And in another thread, people reported that the Griffin powerjolt DOES work with the 3G, so does the above description mean that I can use this device with my iTrip to charge and play music?

    My Pioneer iPod car audio adapter cable does NOT charge my iPhone 3G and they have no plans to change this at this time.
    I have a cheapo Griffin car iPod charger (the kind that has a plug for the cigarette lighter and a separate cable that has a mini-USB on one end and a dock connector on the other) and it DOES charge my 3G iPhone.
    Go figure, but for now there it is.
    Someone HAS to be working on an adapter that goes between the 3G iPhone and a dock connector device to fix this charging issue (which I guess has to do with the last iPhone and many iPods being able to charge via USB at 5V and/or FireWire at 12V but the new iPhone only charging via USB at 5V)

  • Can anyone recommend a car kit for the Nokia 6131?

    I'm looking for a car kit for my 6131 and I'm a bit baffled by all of the options I've found on the internet.
    All I really need is a nice neat mobile holder and a charger. The holder should not be the type that attaches to the air vents; I had one of those once before and it just made the car look untidy!
    I already have access to a Jabra BT250 bluetooth earpiece so I'm assuming that if the phone is in its cradle I'll be able to use that to make and answer calls. Otherwise I don't mind buying a bluetooth car kit if it's a better option.
    I noticed on another thread that someone was recommending the wireless plug in hands free HF-6W to a 6131 owner, but the phone isn't listed as compatible with that on Nokia's web site. In fact, if you look at the compatibility details for all of Nokia's car kits, the 6131 isn't listed as compatible with any of them!
    Any recommendations for the best holder and charger for the 6131, or a single unit that combines both?
    Thanks :-)Message Edited by pottermus on 01-Oct-2006

    The only way to connect this phone to a car kit is via a bluetooth connection, the ck-7w would be suitable for this. There is no specific holder for this phone so you would need a universal holder, i suggest that you buy a specific non damaging bracket for your car to mount this on to give you the best position.

  • Can anyone recommend a VERY easy to use program for creating a very basic app for my iPhone4?

      I just want to be able to enter a few fields of data and have it emailed to my office.  Any suggestions?  I am not a programmer, so easy is the key word here.
    I work for a craft brewery and I want to be able to enter some basic repedative info from kegs of beer and how the beer pours back to our brewery for quality controll.
    Thanks gang!

    This is easily accomplished using HTML5 and JavaScript. In this case, the most difficult part will be encoding the mailto URL. Most people don't realize that the you can stuff an entire email message into a mailto URL, not just an e-mail address.
    In this model, you would compose a web-page (one or more files) and include a manifest file (that lists the files used for that page), and reference the manifest file in the page itself. You would then browse to the page, and save a bookmark to the page on the phone's springboard (an icon on the home screen). By including a manifest, all the files that make up the page are copied to your device and you can use the application locally.
    In fact, HTML5 on iOS permits you to write databases, draw graphs, make animations, etc. What you can't do is access other apps from within the HTML5 app (outside of using URLs).
    In your particular scenario, though, if there's network connectivity in the brewery, I would suggest a regular web-application on the phone and write a little front-end to some database. You also have options like FileMaker Go, Numbers for iPhone, etc.
