Connecting my Touch via the USB cable
I am connecting the Touch to my car via the usb cable as it has a built in ipod app. The car recognises the Touch and I can access all the menus and songs, select what I want to play and play the song, all from the car controls. The only problem is that the music plays from the Touch instead of through the car. Any ideas? It is a 32Gb Ipod Touch running 3.1.3. Any help appreciated.
What Carolyn says is correct. You can, however, share an Internet connection with your iPhone wirelessly by turning in Internet sharing (found in System Preferences > Sharing.) If your MacBook Pro is already using a wireless connection, you can just connect to the same wireless network it is using.
Best of luck.

hello need help with an iphone 4s that I tried to update to the 7ios
There is no where for the upgrade to 'Light Up'...I don't know what that means. Once your phone is recognized, you can manually select 'Check for Update' if it isn't automatically prompting you.

My computer can not recognize the new Apple iPod touch when it is connected via the USB cable (that goes with it) attempt to attach it to the computer.
You do have iTunes installed right?

I have a Lexmark printer which is a little old. So when i connect my iphone to it via the USB cable my printer doesn't recognise it. If i bought a bluetooth adaptor for the printer would i be able to print photos via bluetooth?
The only way to print from an iPad is to have a printer that supports AirPrint. Here's a link to an Apple support page on AirPrint.

AirPrint is way to print wirelessly via Wi-Fi but it requires that the printer supports AirPrint. The iPad cannot use Bluetooth to print and it will not print when connected via USB. -

Apple tv showing wire to connect to itunes via mini usb cable which i dont have?
apple tv showing wire to connect to itunes via mini usb cable which i dont have?
You need to get the cable to restore the ATV to factory settings, following the procedure here.
USB mini cables are available from many different sources; often even from local stores like CVS or Walgreens. They are inexpensive, as little as a few dollars online & around $5 from some local discount stores. -
OK, the videoformat may be changed (PAL, NTSC) by plugin a specified cable to be connected the iPhone to the TV, but how can I force to have PAL-format instead of NTSC to be send to iMovie via the USB-cable? Al this transcoding afterwards takes a lot to much time. Is there a solution before sending the clips?
Well, thanks a lot. iMovie '11 is similar, but not identical and unfortunately I don't seem to find any "Frame Rate Pop-Up menu" when I generate a new Project. Do not find an "Aspect Ratio Pop-Up" either. Also the help does not speak of this options. I just have to choose a Theme and that's it. Also the "Settings" Menu for the Film does not help.
I also checked the general settings for iMovie:
So I would dare say, there is actually no possibility anymore, to set the output format. And also when I create the output file, there is nothing more than a short list of resolutions.
I do not understand why all options were taken away. I admit, I am a little disappointed.
Best regards

Using iPAD 4G verizon hotspot via the USB cable to a windows pc
Has anyone ever done or knows anyone that has done a successful internet tethering via usb cable from a pc running windows vista to an ipad 4g running verizon cellular, (with a 3G or 4G LTE connection)?
I have tried many times but if nobody has ever successfully done this, I will stop trying or searching for a solution and assume that it cannot be done.
thanks,
dizzydozAttach the cable to your iPad and then to the USB, than go to settings chose the third option "personal hot spot" turn it on, a notification will pop up asking you if you want to use wifi or Bluetooth just select no and automatically work.

Can the Iphone 4S play audio via the USB cable
I have a 2012 Subaru Forest that has Bluetooth, 3.5mm Aux plug and USB input. I cant get the music to play via USB input. What am I doing wrong.
JohnI have a similar set up in a BMW
However it has a factory ( extra) "Y" cable that plugs into 3.5mm and USB sockets with 30
pin on other end and is then recognised as USB input on Head unit
No idea about Subaru
However you probably need to talk to your Dealer about the built in Sound system
and understand how to use iPhone/iPod input -
I have run itunes diagnostics and when it gets to connectivity test - ports, it says no iphone found. I followed the troubleshooting steps there, but have been unable to resolve this problem. I have also tried:
1. Stopping and restarting the apple mobile device program.
2. Deleting temporary files.
3. Checking the registery files.
4. Uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 2 times.
5. Used msconfig to disable start up items that could be interfering.
I'm tired of waiting for itunes 11, hoping that it might resolve my problem.
Is there a place where i can download the previous version of itunes 10.6 to see if this may help?
Thanks for any other ideas.I tried:
01. Rebooting PC
02. Rebooting iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad 2, iPad 3
03. Stoppng and restarting Apple Mobile Support service
04. Deleting backup in iTunes
05. Buying music and transferring purchases
06. Transferring photos
07. Buying app and transferring purchases
08. Deleteing and reinstalling iTunes
09. Backup to the iCloud (failed as well)
10. WIFI sync
11. Return the iPod Touch to factory settings and reinstall from backup
12. Return the iPod Touch to factory settings and install as new device
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WORKED !!! I still cannot backup because iTunes cannot start a session.
My devices are completely vulnerable to loss.
I have spent hours searching the Internet trying to find a solution.
I have concluded that the iTunes software or its driver are at fault. -
Any ideas?
Thank you for reaching out to us, jmush. There are so many options to listen to music from cars nowadays. It's awesome and really convenient. Unfortunately, some features may not work correctly due to software both from devices and headunits. While, bluetooth can display your phone name and contacts, it may not display song ID3 tags, etc.
With regards to plugging it in via the USB cable, you can try setting your phone to storage mode, and the headunit may be able to read stored music found in your phone, but it may not be compatible. http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-113331/

I just got an HP Stream 8 tablet with Windows on it. I have a Mac desktop running 10.6.8. I set up Home Sharing by making sure both had the same version of iTunes and I authorized the new tablet (desktop already was). (I haven't exceeded the number of authorized computers.) I would like to take some of the playlists I have on my desktop Mac and copy them into iTunes on the tablet. I hooked up the tablet to my desktop with a USB cable but wasn't able to get it to copy. I do not have WIFI....is there a way to do this by just having the tablet hooked up via the USB cable? If so, can someone please talk me through the steps necessary to do that? Thanks!
Did you erase the machine and set it up with your accounts or is the previous user still on it?
Please note that Mountain Lion is far from being an app, it is your Macs operating system.

Can no longer charge Nano with the USB cable
My iPod Nano (1st gen) won't charge via the USB cable any more. It will sync if there is enough battery life when I hook it up to the USB cable. However, if I leave it hooked up, it gets drained of all it's battery life. Fortunately I have a wall charger and a car charger and both of them will charge the Nano. It's a lot more convenient for me to charge it via my computer, but that's not possible any more. Is my Nano dying or is it possible the USB cable is damaged? If it's damaged, how can it sync but not charge? Why can I charge with other power sources but not the cable? Unfortunately, I don't have another iPod cable to test if the cable is damaged. If my Nano is dying, can you give me a rough estimate as to how long it will be before it stops charging all together. (I need to prepare my spouse for the upcoming iPod Touch purchase that will appear on credit card.)
Thanks.........JulieHere's my own trial and error analysis of my problem. I hooked my iPod up to my old G4 PowerBook and tried to charge it from there. It didn't charge but it also didn't lose any more power that I could tell. I then hooked it up to my MacBook's first USB slot. I heard that the first slot has more power than the 2nd slot due to the way the 2 USB ports are configured. Unfortunately, the iPod appeared to have lost some power, i.e. the USB port drained some of the power from the iPod.
I'm guessing I need to take it in to have my USB ports checked out. I prefer to take it to an Apple store with a Genius bar that is 3 hours away instead of to our "local" Apple repair shop that is an hour away. I have Apple Care and I believe my local shop will still charge me for time.
Thanks for the suggestions. Until I find a day when I can take the long drive, I'll just charge my iPod from with a wall charger. I'm grateful the iPod syncs and I have an alternate way to charge. -
Can i watch videos from my iphone on my TV with the USB cable?
Hello. My TV has a USB port but i can't seem to get my iphone videos through my tv by linking it via the USB cable. Does anybody know a way to do this?
You cannot connect an iPod to your TV via USB. You need one of these two cables:
Apple Component AV Cable
Apple Composite AV Cable
depending on this inputs available on your TV.
