Compatible: iPod car charger cable with new Verizon iPhone...Safe?

Compatibility between my iPod cable in the car which is connected to a radio interface in which I plug in/ charge/play my iPod AND my new Verizon iPhone. Will the cable in the car safely charge and 'read' my iPhone? I would hate to blow this thing up But if it is compatible, it saves me much aggravation.

Hey Alan Seglin & welcome to the forums.
Whether it will work or not depends on a few things.
The biggest factor is age of the radio interface. A lot of older interfaces aren't designed with the iOS devices in mind and so do not charge them properly or allow the user to control it. What kind of iPod are you using with your stereo right now?
You may find that you can play music but have no real control over the iPhone & it may not be charged, either. You shouldn't see anything harmful happen to your stereo or your phone, though.

Apps and Videos won't sync with new Verizon iPhone

I have set up the new Verizon iPhone and synced it with iTunes. The music comes over to the phone no problem, but when I try and sync the Apps that were either purchased or free for our iPad or iPods won't come over to the phone. The error message is that the account is not authorized to sync. So I go and authorize the account on the computer, and it says it is already authorized, yet the sync of apps and videos will not occur.
Thoughts?

I don't think you can drag anything onto an iphone.
You have to goto the tab in itunes and select which video you want to sync.

Trouble with sending texts and making calls with new Verizon iPhone 4S

A friend of mine just upgraded from a 3G on AT&T to a 4S on Verizon. She sync'd her contacts via iCloud. She is having an issue where if she takes the 1 out of a contact's name from her address book, txts don't send. If she leaves the 1 in, it doesn't recognize the name, and just lists the 1 (201) xxx-xxxx at the top instead. Worse, when making calls, if that contact does not have a 1 before the area code, it tells her her plan isn't set up for international calling and that it can't complete the call. I am on AT&T so I can't help her. My phone has the international assist option, I assume Verizon's does too.
I can edit my phone number on my AT&T phone; it appears she cannot edit hers to either add or delete the 1 before hers.
Surely this is easily fixable -- just thought I'd see if anyone knows what's going on here. Thanks all.

I'm also a Verizon subscriber - have been with Verizon since the summer of 2001 and when my contract renewed last June, I selected the same phone as my free upgrade.
I was looking forward to using the same features with my Mac when I discovered that Verizon purposely disabled these features and I'm not completely sure why but it must involve protecting a potential revenue stream for Verizon.
My existing 2-yr contract with Verizon expires a year from this June and I plan on making the switch to Cingular at that time primarily due to Verizon disabling these bluetooth features but also due to the iPhone. Cingular has excellent coverage in my area - I have a number of friends who are Cingular subscribers that get better reception at my residence than I do and I use my cell phone in place of a land line. The iPhone will have been on the market for a year or so at that time and I expect a new and improved iPhone model to be available by then. And if I decide not to purchase an iPhone, I'm making the switch to Cingular regardless.

Using iPhone 3Gs as an iPod Touch, while using my new Verizon iPhone 4 as a phone? Lost original sim?

Well, Im at a loss for this one. A few weeks ago I jumped over to verizon predicting that Id rather get an iPhone 4 and wade through the intermediate (iPhone 4s, iPhone 3GS) release until the iPhone 5. I planned on using my old iPhone 3Gs (AT&T, of course) as an iPod Touch. I tossed the original sim figuring there was no need for it in fear that I could somehow reactivate my old contract. I restored the iPhone 3GS as a method of erasing everything and starting fresh, as well as updating the firmware however now It is asking me to "Activate" my iPhone and im at a loss of what to do. Is there any hope? or must I resort to Craigslist to selvedge some cash out of this old friend?

You'll need a sim card.

Charging iPhone with iPod car charger/FM Transmitter - Damage battery?

I used a new ipod car charger/FM transmitter to charge my old original model iphone and got a message popping up that the device isn't made to charge the iphone but it would charge so I left it in. Ever since then, my battery seems to be dying much, much faster than normal. Could I have damaged the battery?

Possible that the circuitry or output levels of the charger was not an exact match to the desired voltage or resistance of the 30 PIN connector and thus caused an issue with the battery...but it's not very likely that this alone caused your battery to all of a sudden not hold a charge...

There are none for any MBP that Apple sells or endorses. I have seen some available, but none that I am willing to take a risk with.
Ciao.

If you want to charge a touch gen 4 or less, then absolutly (It just might take a little longer than one specifically for the touch, because of watt dierences I think). I'm not sure about gen 5

I use a power inverter which works great. You can get one that plugs into your car charger for about $30-$50 on Amazon. You just plug it into your car charger and plug the MBP power pack into that.

You'll need to connect the iPod Touch to your iTunes library in recovery mode and restore it factory settings. There is no other way.
Here are instructions for getting your iPod touch into recovery mode.

Car charger compatability with iphone

will a regular ipod car charger charge the iphone?

I use some Griffin brand car charger, I think, and it works great on the iPod...on the iPhone it is less than par for only one reason...the iPhone doesn't realize it is plugged in but it is still getting charged. It keeps kicking battery life down and down, even to the warnings, but once I unplug it and unlock it, it shows the proper charge. Weird I guess but it still charges it nonetheless.

I have moved my itunes to a new computer and now my ipod will lnot sync with new line up

i have moved mu itunes to a new computer and my ipod will not sync with new music.

If you are using automatic syncing, you may need to set up the iPod's Music tab in iTunes.
Select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary). Select Music there. This is the Music tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync the iPod with songs. Sync Music is checkmarked for automatic syncing.
If your entire iTunes music library can fit on the nano, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Then, create your selection of songs below. For example, if you want to keep it simple, create a new playlist in iTunes. Put ALL songs you want on the iPod on that playlist, including songs from the newly added music. Back on the Music tab, find and checkmark that new playlist under Playlists.
When you click Apply, your selection of songs on the Music tab syncs to the iPod, replacing its current content. Going forward, any changes that are related to the Music tab settings sync automatically when you connect the iPod, or when you click Sync. So, if there is a playlist with your "iPod songs," you can just update that playlist (add and remove songs) whenever you want; iTunes updates the iPod with the same changes at the next opportunity.

Can you use the same charging cable for both an iPhone and an IPad or are they different? When I use the charging cable for my iPhone on my Ipad, it doesn't charge.

Can you use the same charging cable for both an iPhone and an IPad or are they different? When I use the charging cable for my iPhone on my Ipad, it doesn't charge.

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Old iPhone (2007) to new Verizon iPhone

I've had the original ATT iPhone since it first came out. Looking forward to moving to the new Verizon iPhone as soon as it arrives. I don't have a lot of apps installed on my current phone, but have all the contacts, etc. that I care about local to this current phone. What I was hoping I could request from you guys was some sort of outline/task list of things I can do, or should do, to make bringing up the new phone as easy as possible. What I'd like to do is move over my contacts, including associated pics if possible, pictures, and apps. I try to keep my google online account's contacts as clean and up to date as possible, but my phone is more clean...just wish I could sync my phone's info overtop of my google online info, but I'm not aware of a way.
So:
Can I push my phone's contact info over to Google? I'm only aware of Google to the phone. If I can push all my contact to google, then I guess I could make use of Google Sync, which I could then install on the new phone and sync google to my phone. Thoughts on this from those that have used Google Sync, or something similar.
Can I use a recent backup of my current phone stored in iTunes to "install" my new phone? And if so, how would you recommend? If I do this, do I risk the chance of bringing over something, such as an app, from my old phone to the new that should be simply re-installed to take advantage of the new phones architecture, etc.?
Having ask all of this, should I simply install my new phone manually so I make sure all apps, contacts, etc. are done correctly?
I know that's alot. If you guys can help, I'd greatly appreciate it. If there's a KB article out there, or other threads that would offer the same info, I'd appreciate the links...I looked for such but failed to find all that I was interested in.
Thanks for the help and time,
JRK

You're welcome.
Can I "push" my iPhone's contacts to my iMac's Address Book, or will asking iTunes to sync with my iMac's Address Book, and the fact that I don't have any contacts in my iMac's Address Book, wipe out my contacts on my iPhone?
Before syncing contacts with an empty Address Book, enter one contact in the Address Book on your Mac. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
Likewise, will syncing my iMac Address Book with Google push my iMac's Contact list to Google, or will Google push over my new iMac's Address Book?
After getting your iPhone contacts available in the Address Book on your Mac, when syncing the contacts with the Address Book on your Mac and with your Google online address book, the contacts between the two should be synced or merged. This is selected at Address Book > Preferences under the Accounts tab.
To be on the safe side before doing this, create a backup for your Address Book contacts on your Mac. At the Address Book menu bar go to File > Export and select Address Book Archive. Save the export to wherever you want on your Mac's hard drive in case you need this later to restore your Address Book contacts.
Google should provide an export option for your Google online address book which you can save to your Mac as a backup for your Google online address book before syncing contacts with the Address Book on your Mac.
