Disable Autoplay iPhone plugged into USB Radio

How do you disable AUTOPLAY when plugging an iPhone into a car radio that has USB? I really just want to use the USB at time to charge my phone or start streaming radio. However when plugging in the iPhone to the USB connection starts my iPhone/Music playlist which is not what I want to happen.
Is there any magic while plugging in the phone to the USB port to prevent it from autostarting/playing music from my library?
Thanks!

That's probably a function of your in-car system. I'm not aware of any settings in iOS that would cause this to happen.

ITunes freezing when iPhone plugged into USB

I've had my iPhone since September 08 and never had any problems syncing. Today when I plugged in my (90% charged) iPhone into my computer after adding some music to iTunes the program froze. At first it started to sync but asked if I wanted to update something. Not sure exactly what it was, some type of setting. I said yes and it downloaded whatever that was and did not sync after that. I unplugged the iPhone and replugged it to start the sync. The phone is charging so the USB port is working. I tried restarting the computer and the iPhone, repairing iTunes, different USB ports, and nothing is working. iTunes will function normally until the iPhone is plugged in. Then it freezes.
I at least have a working phone, but I'd really really like to sync.

SWEET RELIEF! i've been having this same problem and its nearly been the death of me (and/or my macbook and/or iphone). the second i connect my iphone to USB, itunes immediately just goes unresponsive/hangs. i've been staring at that freaking swirling rainbow for days. i've gone over every single how-to/troubleshooting/etc. topic in apple support, and gotten exactly nowhere.
but then i found your post, deleted my podcasts, and it was like magic - iphone/itunes sync up and running like clockwork.
my sanity thanks you... TO EVERYONE ELSE HAVING THE SAME PROB - THIS WORKS!!! JUST DELETE WHATEVER PODCASTS/APPS YOU DOWNLOADED FROM YOUR IPHONE, AND PROBLEM SOLVED.

IPhone plugged into laptop interferes with Bluetooth mouse

iPhone 3GS, iOS 4.1
iTunes version 10.0.1.22
Laptop is an HP Envy 15 running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
Mouse is a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000
The mouse works fine when the iPhone is sitting next to the laptop, but not plugged in, so I don't think it's EMI/wireless interference. When I plug in the iPhone to the laptop to charge it or sync it, the mouse begins acting funny. There is momentary interference (for maybe a second about every 5 seconds) where the cursor will stop moving and the buttons on the mouse won't do anything. If I go into iTunes and click on the iPhone under devices, the mouse will sometimes lock up and eventually disconnect (I know it disconnects, because I have my laptop's touchpad set to turn back on after the wireless mouse disconnects).
As far as I know, this only happens with the iPhone plugged into USB. I don't have many other USB devices to try it with. Though, I did try it with just a USB DVD drive plugged in, and the interference did not occur. Once the iPhone was plugged back in, the interference resumed.
I need to be able to charge my work phone when at work, or I will miss important calls. Also, I need the mouse for better maneuverability since I use this computer to design circuit boards (CAD is impossible with a touchpad only).
Any suggestions, other than the usual driver updates/reinstall (I've done that several times already)? Any help is appreciated.
-Tom

I noticed the same kind of interference that you're experiencing on my logitec wireless laser mouse. On top of that, I only experience the lag while my iPhone is plugged in AND while iTunes 10 is open (even though as of right now iTunes isn't even detecting my iPhone) I gave up trying to fix it myself.
All in all iTunes 10 is full of bugs <.<

Has anyone successfully used a "WD My Book for Mac" via NAS (plugged into USB port on router) as a Time Machine back-up drive?

Has anyone successfully used a "WD My Book for Mac" via NAS (plugged into USB port on router) as a Time Machine back-up drive? Apple support tech tried to tell me it wasn't possible and that the only NAS Time Machine could back up to is the Time Capsule, but I'm not buying it. I know it's doable, but I'm having a hard time figuring out which External HDDs will work and which ones won't. If not My Book for Mac, is there an External HDD that will work? (Running OS X 10.9.1 - Mavericks, btw...)

Given the nature of backups, my recommendation has always been to use a strategy that is unequivocally supported by Apple. As you already determined Apple Support unequivocally informed you that your proposal will not work, unless your router is an Apple AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule.
The exhaustive list of devices supported by Time Machine amounts to the following:
AirPort Time Capsule's built-in hard disk (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to a Time Capsule (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to an AirPort Extreme (current model only)
A hard disk drive directly connected to your Mac
That is all.
Use whatever backup device you want, but you should be aware that this site is full of reports of misery from hapless individuals who had been using NAS devices for Time Machine backups, only to find that they were incomplete, corrupted, or useless when they were required. Apple won't care if you lose your data while using a Time Machine configuration specifically excluded from their technical support documents.

My ipad2 charged very well via USB until I upgraded to system 7.0.4. Now it displays "not charging: whenever I plug into USB. Any suggestions?

Charge it with the supplied power brick plugged into the wall.
Most USB ports don't put out enough power for the iPad so the best way is plugged into the wall.

When I plug phone into laptop USB port it's unrecognized, but anything else I plug into USB works. How do I know if it's cord or phone? My cord works when plugged to wall outlet to charge.

My phone charges when it's plugged into wall just find, then I try n use cord n plug to laptop to USB port and it's unrecognized. But other thugs worked plugged into USB port so I know it's not the computer. How do I know if it's my phone or the cord itself that is the issue??

Blackberry Does not Function, Plugged into USB red light then 3 yellow lights and off

Blackberry Does not Function, Plugged into USB red light then 3 yellow lights and off, I cannot even claim the warrently without buying 50$ support?
I am an Electrical Engineer by trade and have 15+ years working with computers. I left it to charge over the last 3 days. Doesn't do anything. It's a $300 paper weight. My mother bought this product for me because she thought it was a great present but now it turns out to being worthless.
What kind of company are you? Honestly?
How the hell do you think your gonna get customer loyalty with this kind of customer service. It's clearly obvious why apple is destroying you. You are worthless competition. I want this blackberry fixed. I will NOT pay for support just to replace my blackberry. That is crooked business honestly. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
My mom bought this for my birthday 4 months ago. I open it up and it doesn't even work. How can you do this to your customers. It's no wonder your company is going out of business.
I demand you fix my issue. I have 1 year of warranty support. I will NOT pay extra just to get my Blackberry exchanged.
Wait until I inform all my news groups in my area of this. I am from ONTARIO, BRAMPTON. I am a CANADIAN, just like your company. CP24 WILL HEAR ABOUT THIS. I WILL RUIN YOUR REPUTATION. I PROMISE YOU THAT.

No sarcasm here either.
One of my PlayBooks recently went 'possum on me, too. Very frustrated, tried all the known tricks and tips to charge and revive it. Over a year old. I called the support line knowing it was out of date and they would deny me.
Nope, the lady very pleasantly accepted my request, I spoke with customer support and they bugged me via email daily until we got it resolved -- to MY satisfaction. My first interaction with PlayBook support, and it could not have gone more nicely nor further beyond my expectation.
I don't know what you experienced with PlayBook support, you didn't say why you're so mad with them. This is a user-to-user community support forum. We are not RIM employees, but volunteers who enjoy assisting other users. RIM personnel rarely comment on queries posted here. You would have noticed this in the EULA and message upon registration.

My iPhone 4S is not charging when plugged into clock radio. What's wrong?

So about a week ago, I docked my iPhone 4S into my Sony ICF-C7iP clock radio as I do every evening before going to bed. I bought this clock radio back in August and have had no problems with it at all. However this time, I noticed my phone was not charging. It didn't make the charging beep nor did it show on the display that it was charging. I tried removing it & re-seating it...nothing. I tried rebooting my phone which resulted in the same problem. When I plug my iPhone into either a standard sync cable or an iPhone dock, it charges/syncs as normal.
Suspecting the problem was with the alarm clock, I contacted Sony support. The clueless support rep on the other line suggested I return the clock in exchange for a refurbished one. For a $60 clock, this was more trouble than it was worth, so I decided against it.
I then decided to purchase an iHome iA9 which was sure to work. I just unpacked it and set it up. When I docked the iPhone on it...you guessed it...nothing. It is still not charging. The funny thing is that the iPhone will play music through the iHome with no problems. I had also tried plugging the iHome into a different outlet with no luck either. I am out of ideas. I am left to assume that for some reason, my phone does no longer like charging when docked on to an alarm clock.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how I can get this to work again? I recently upgraded to iOS 5.1 and honestly don't know if that would have anything to do with it. But the likelihood of 2 completely different clock radios exhibiting the same problem is virtually non-existent.
As mentioned, I tried rebooting the phone with no luck. Docking the phone to a standard charging cable plugged into the wall charges the phone fine. Docking the phone on an iPhone compatable dock charges the phone fine. Is the problem with my phone?
Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Tim, I was speaking generally. Obviously the iOS upgrade didn't remove the ability to charge on ALL 3rd party devices, else my iH9 wouldn't charge it either.
What I just can't understand is how an old iHome model works just fine with a new iPhone, yet a new iHome model will not. If anything, I would think it would be the other way around.
Anyway, I emailed iHome explaining my situation and I asked if they had planned on releasing a firmware update to fix the problem. I got the typical generic response about unplugging the iHome & removing the batteries for an hour then trying again. And if that doesn't work, send it in for repair in which I would need to pay for the shipping.
If I decide to go that route, I think it's just going to be a waste of time as I would get the iHome back "repaired" and it would have the exact same problem. But I guess I'll never know until I try.
I remember reading on these forums about several others having the same problem. So what are the odds that the iHomes these other people got who are experiencing the same problem are problematic as well? Unless the "repair" iHome is referring to is a firmware update, I don't really buy into this.

I'm tired of music playing ever time I plug my iPhone 5s into USB in car

Please help me stop music from playing time I plug into cars USB port to charge

Buy a USB Car Charger adaptor and plug your iPhone into that. That way your car stereo will not know you are just charging your iPhone.
Google "usb car charger".
However, if plugging into your car stereo USB port is how you also get "Hand Free" phone answering, then you will need to read your car's manual to find out if there is a way to configure you car to stop switching to your iPhone music playlists.

Laptop does not recognize iPhone 4s when plugged into any of the 4 usb ports. All usb drivers are up to date. All Win 8 and HP udates have been installed and are current. Ports do recognize memory sticks so seem to be working. Is there a special driver needed for iPhone?
This question was solved.

Hey texasbootz,
I'll have to get you to answer a few questions to understand what is going on exactly:
When the iPhone is plugged into the notebook, does it charge?
When the iPhone is plugged into the notebook, does it show up in device manager?
Is iTunes installed?
If it is not charged when plugged in, it is possible that the cable you are using isn't functioning properly, and you may need a replacement. Or, the iPhone itself is having some issues.
In any case, since other devices are working in all of your USB ports, it is possible that its either a software issue (with the iPhone's drivers) or an issue with the iPhone case. You'll have to contact Apple for support on either of those issues. I'd suggest trying to re/install iTunes, see if that fixes it, then to contact Apple.
Hope this helps!

IPOD SHUFFLE PLUGGED INTO USB HUB BUT NOT BEING READ

I recently got a 4 port USB hub because I needed extra usb ports. I mainly use the hub to connect my flash drive, external hard drive and my IPOD shuffle, but the only thing that isn't getting read by the computer is the shuffle. Everything else that is conncected to the hub is being read by windows. The shuffle just sits there, when plugged into the hub, blinking a green light (which doesn't look normal). The hub itself is a 2.0 hub. HELP!

I had the same problem. FIRST, I had to remove the software that came with the original ipod shuffle. 2005/06/26, and replace it with the older version 2005/01/11 that I found on this site: http://www.opendrivers.com/driver/220012/apple-ipod-ipod-mini-ipod-photo-ipod-sh uffle-software-updater-2005-01-11-windows-2000-xp-free-download.html
Once in a while it still doesn't recognize the ipod, but I think that's a usb port problem. Unplug it and plug it in again and it should be fine. Just make sure you remove the original software first in the add/remove programs section!
Also, if Mac is so good (according to some people on this site), why did Mac start using the Windows XP software and not vice-versa!!! haha
Good Luck!!!

IPod battery dies WHILE it is plugged into USB (highspeed 2.0) port

Hello thank you for your interest in my question, I apologize for the length but it's a very frustrating problem.
I am translating this question for my sister:
My 4th generation iPod was given to me as a gift this past December (2005) I believe it was purchased in September because that is when the warranty expires. The iPod worked fine for the previous owner using it with a Windows machine. Not knowing whether or not it will work with my iBook with or without formatting, I plugged it in and found that it came right up and I was able to put my music library on it.
I used it normally for the first time until the battery became low, so I plugged it into my USB port to charge. After a few hours I came back to find my battery completely drained and the iPod unresponsive/dead. I switched USB ports and let it sit for a couple of hours, nothing. I switched USB cables using one from another brand new/working iPod, nothing. I tried a different computer, one with a high-speed USB 2.0 port again leaving it plugged in for at least 4 hours, nothing.
Obviously something was wrong, so I filed a report and Apple sent a DHL box to mail it back. An iPod came back, unfortunately I'm not sure if it's the same one (I didn't follow the repair status or keep track of the serial numbers) it was restored to it's factory defaults and turned on right away.
SO round #2, I plugged it directly into my iBook and started to import songs onto it--this time I was there when it happened. It beeped at me and said something on the screen about the battery not having a sufficient charge and it went from the "do not un-plug/charging" screen to a big battery with a lightning bolt next to it. My iBook gave me a notice that the iPod was improperly disconnected. 30 minutes later the iPod had a blank screen (while still plugged in) and I went through the same troubleshooting I did before (switching cables/computers).
I sent it back to Apple and this time I followed the repair status. To my surprise, they found nothing wrong with it and sent the exact same iPod back. When I got it back the iPod did indeed turn on so I plugged it into the back of my brand new iMac Intel Core Duo, imported songs and tried to see if they would play. They did, but the battery was almost dead so I plugged it back in and left it charge for over 3 hours. I unplugged it and checked the stats.. it was nearly dead still, so I plugged it in again and very quickly (10 minutes) the icon changed from "charging" to full. I unplugged it to check the charge... and it was still nearly dead. Extremely frustrated at this point, I gave it to my friend with an older iMac (but with the latest iPod software installed) after plugging it in and leaving it alone for maybe an hour it beeped, when to the black and white battery and finally went blank/dead for the third time.
I'm desperate, right now it is plugged into a Windows PC to see if that will work and considering the iPod is still cold to the touch and wont respond.. it doesn't look good. Can anyone, after reading all of this, suggest anything? I'm probably going to be making an appointment at a genius bar but before I do, I'd like to see if anyone here might have some suggestions.
Please keep in mind, that the iPod is completely dead and will not charge or be recognized by any computer I plug it into. So I can't really restore or do many other basic troubleshooting. I have no idea how it turned on after sending it in for support.. but if anyone notices something I'm doing wrong, that might help.
Thank you.

Have you tried connecting the iPod to different USB ports and/or another computer?
You can also take a look at this website, which may help figure out what's wrong with your iPod.

Finally, if your iPod is less than a year old, you can send it to Apple for replacement.
