After working fine for several months, my iPhone 5 has started dropping bluetooth connectivity for 2 to 5 seconds at a time with my Sony MDR-1RBT headphones. The headphones work fine with other devices. I haven't moved to ios7 yet. Any ideas?

What user troubleshooting have you done on the phone? The steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Understand that a restore will put the latest iOS on your device. It is also possible there is a hardware fault on the device and the Bluetooth is failing. Anything is possible given the scenario you describe.
And as far as iOS 7.x is concerned, we have 5 different iPhones here at home, all with the latest iOS, a 4, 4s, 5c, and 2-5s and all are working just fine. So, a blanket statement such as the one provided by the other poster is not completely true. Others are not having any issues at all either.

Can't send texts from iPhone to a verizon customer?

i'm trying to send texts via the iPhone to a friend on the verizon network and it's not working? any insights?

I notice the original poster hasn't reposted. So this may have been the case:
Many towers have trouble going from one network to another. On few cases the message never gets there. This is a serious problem that the providers are not rushing out to fix. why would they want to make cross network stuff work better? They want everyone on their own network.
In fact my friends and I were watching Heroes and we all had different networks. We noticed that if person A sent person V a text it would take 40 min. If person V sent person A a text it took only a moment.
I have often had the problem of being able to make out calls from my iPhone on V towers while people calling me would get a "not available" message.
Its a mess and will continue to be as long as the providers want to play games and delay fixing issues (or ignore them completely.)
Hope that made sense.

You may be able to forward your messages using standard texting service. I don't beleive there is an option to beam the messsage.
In your inbox, tap on a message to highlight the message. Tap in the upper left corner of the screen where it says msgs. Look for the selection to forward. If it is available, you can forward the message using the sms service.
You would need to send each message one at a time.
For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.

Can't send texts until iPhone is powered off.

For the past 3 mornings, I have had to power off my iphone4 before sending any texts. I don't know of it's just iMessage or any texts. I've tried sending iMessage and it won't send unless I power it off and let it reboot.

Apple is supposed to release a fix for some iMessage bugs in the coming weeks.
I have had this problem too. A reset will fix it until the update is released.
Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)

Why does Acrobat suddenly not work on my Mac (won't open pdf files from a web page), yet I can open them from my iPhone? Everything worked fine yesteray.

Hello:
I have a Mac running OS 10.8.5 and I use Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader. Today for some reason, any time I try and access a pdf file from a web page, it won't open. I get a blank window. PDF files already on my computer open fine and I can create PDF files from Word docs, but I can't download or view any pdf file from any web page. Strangely, PDF files on web pages open just fine on my iPhone.
I checked that both my copy of Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader are up-to-date. They are.
I checked that my copy of Firefox is up-to-date. It is. And nothing changed with Firefox within the last 24 hours.
I am a humble computer end-user. I am baffled as to why this would suddenly not work. I have not changed any settings, etc. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
I checked your instructions you sent and as far as I can tell all of my settings, etc for Firefox (plugin updates and preferences) are correct but I am having the same problem.
However, everything works in Safari. I don't have time to attempt to diagnose why Firefox no longer works. I will just switch to Safari.
Many thanks.

Can't Sync iTunes to iPhone - iPad & iPod work fine - please help

I have a new iPad which syncs everything just fine. I have been using an iPod for years with no issues. I have had my iPhone for over a year and for the first time I decided that I want to put music on it. I have connected my iPhone to iTunes many times to transfer photos and had no issues.
So when I selected a playlist or any song for that matter, it looks like everything is going to work just fine then when I click Apply it says I have to either erase everything on my iPhone because it's connected to another iTunes (which is incorrect) or cancel the sync. What gives? this is very annoying. Why would apple do this? I do not want to go through backing up 1500 photos and numbers, date etc. and also lose over 40 apps so I can do this. Are there any other options? I have the same sign in and apple account on all 3 devices. Can i get the songs from my iPad transfered to the iPhone instead? I am so frusterated.

While I have the same question regarding Photos and my Selected photos (in iPhoto) to sync with my iOS devices, I have kept the sync, through iTunes, pointed to iPhoto (in the Settings' Photo section set to iPhoto in the "Copy photos from" drop down menu). ...This will keep the previously-synced photos syncing with the particular iOS device as one was doing before 10.10.3.
However as I currently do not use iCloud for my photos syncing, I get the same "0 photos" when Photos is selected in the referenced, drop down menu. So, I'm wondering how one switches the particular photos, which have previously been syncing via iPhoto, to sync from Photos (the new app). ...I get the sense that when iCloud is used, all one's photo library syncs (which I really don't want to do). If someone can clarify how all this works, please post.

4th Gen. ipod. No longer charges from wall socket. Still can charge from computer. Wall power adapter and cord both work fine on other devices. Wall Why?

4th Generation ipod. Used to charge fine from wall socket (cord and USB adapter) and could also charge on the computer. Suddenly stopped charging from the wall. The same cord and adapter still work for my iphone, so there is not problem with either of them. What has changed? Why won't the ipod charge from the wall anymore? Is there anything I can do about it?

Thanks! It didn't actually work with the one I was using to charge the computer either. We had tried the computer cable with the power adapter, and it didn't work to charge the ipod, though it does charge my iphone. Following your idea further, I waited for my husband to get home from a trip and tried one of his extra cables he keeps in his backpack. That cable worked in with the USB power adaptor. I had thought that because the cable I use on my computer charges my iphone through the USB power adapter or the computer, and that it charged the ipod through the computer that it was fully functional. Apparantly not. Thanks again.

I can't send texts to some contacts in my iphone 4s. This is a recent problem, as previously all texts would send. The red exclamation mark appears and 'not 'delivered' shows on screen.

First time I've used this discussion forum, so may be posting problem twice! I can't send texts to some contacts in my iphone 4s. This is a recent problem, as previously I could send texts whenever I wanted. The exclamation mark and "not delivered' shows on screen when I ry and text certain people. I know for a fact that my number is not blocked by the receipients?

I've just realised, further to my earlier question - that the people I am trying to text do not have Iphones? Could this make a difference? (Although I have text them in the past)

No connection? only searches? Can't send Texts?

I have two 4S Iphones, one can't send texts (but everything else works) and the other one works on wi-fi, but continues to serah with no connection. The carrier is Verizon and both phones are on the same account.
[email protected]

Texts as in SMS/MMS are exchanged through your carrier's cellular network, and if the other iPhone is unable to access the internet via Verizon's cellular network and/or connect to their network for calls or text messages, if no change after powering each iPhone off and on, contact Verizon.

Nokia X3-02 can't send text message to only one of...

i can't send text message to only one of my contacts... what happen? what should i do? help me pls... tnx...

Hi,
You can send the other contacts SMS but not only one contact, Right?
Then the issue is with your contact, maybe the number is not right or not the right format.
So check your contact number with number which you can send SMS.
Maybe it is best to delete that contact and create new contact which the format is the same with the others.
I hoe this helps.

Can't send texts to one particular friend, texts work one-way, phone calls work both way

For about a bit more than a month now, one particular friend (and just one, as far as I can tell) has not been receiving my text messages. He can send me texts messages and we are able to call each other. The texts emitted from my phone however, don't seem to go through. I have no indication that the text has not been delivered (no red exclamation point next to it). This particular person is not using an iPhone for this particular phone number.
I am using an iPhone 4 (32GB) running iOS 7.1.2.
I have tried many different things.
(1) I have checked that this friend was not in my block list. The block list is empty. But even if that person were in my block list, would I be able to receive texts and call? I have tried adding that person to the block list then sending a text. Then removing that person from the block list and texting again.
(2) Yesterday I have restored my phone from a backup. I then erased completely the (long) text exchange between me and this friend, waited for the phone to process the deletion and tried again to send a text. I then deleted the entire contact information of this friend. And then I texted the phone number.
None of these steps have worked. I'm very puzzled.
Has anyone ever been confronted to an issue like this one?

This friend has an iPhone and I can iMessage him on his other phone numbers (he has three). For a short time the Sim card attached to this phone number was inside an iPhone and we did iMessage each other but that was almost a year ago (April 2014). That sim card is now in an ordinary phone (not a smartphone, not an iPhone). We reverted back to texting for a long while. It only began to act strangely on January of this year.
On that friend's contact card, 2 of the numbers (the ones attached to his iPhone) have blue bubbles next to them. The number I can't send texts to doesn't have that blue bubble - meaning that the number doesn't have iMessage capabilities, right?

Can't input text on iphone 5

Hi all -
New iPhone 5 user - upgrading from iPhone 4. In simply trying to send a text message, when I hit the button for a new text, a new text window pops up, and I'm able to enter the name of the person I want to text. But then I can't select the text box to start typing my message. It won't shift the cursor down to the text box. The only work around I've found is to choose the 'insert photo' button. Once I do that, it pops up the photo selector button, and then I can hit cancel and back on the text screen the cursor is then in the message box.
This is extremely frustrating. Anyone have an answer? Thanks.
White iPhone 5
Version 6.0 (10A405)

It's seems to be a Software issue where sometimes clicking on the entry box would not respond but when you slide it up you will be able to start writing and see the Keyboard...it happened to me on my iPhone4 and tried it on my iphone5 also same thing.
1. Hard Reboot : Hold down Power & Home button till iphone shuts down completely and turn on by itself let go when you see the apple logo on screen.
if that doesn't work
2. BackUp & Restore.
i usually backup or restore from my Guest account has itunes will download a fresh new iOS from the apple server.
