Hooking up an iphone to my TV

Hello I'm trying to hook up my iphone to my 3d tv useing the USB port and no luck what else can i do?

The iPhone doesn't simply mount like a normal external drive. For example, you'll notice on your computer that while you can retrieve your photos from it like a drive, you can't drag anything else onto it, and you can't even use the "next" feature in the Windows photo viewer. It sounds like the TV can't access the way the iPhone handles files.

    Is there a software in which I can hook up my iPhone 4s to my computer and send and receive text messages and calls (via headset) through my computer? Whether it's free or cost money, can someone please give me a name of a program or software that allows me to do this? I can't seem to find anything like this for the iPhone.

    You created a new AppleID?
    Why not simply update your old AppleID so you have only one iTunes account?

  • Help I just hooked up my iPhone to my laptop for the first time and i accidentally chose to have it read it as my ipod so all my pictures were deleted off of it. I had not backed it up before. Is there anything I can do?

    Did you by chance have photo stream turned on? If so then they might be there. When you restored your phone it deleted everything and they will be unretreivable from your computer.

    Sounds like you synced the photos instead of importing the photos.
    In iTunes with your device plugged in, go to the photos tab and uncheck the photos that were synced over, then sync again. This should take the photos from your coputer off the devices leaving just the camera roll.
    If you have a Windows computer, go to mycomputer and right click on your device and select import pictures and video. If its a Mac computer, plug in your device and go to iphoto and select import all.

  • Recently, when I hook up my iPhone to Sync, it goes thru and when it finishes I get the same message......The iPhone "......" cannot be syned. An unknown error occurred (13019).  What am I doing wrong?

    I dug a little deeper and found this:
    It is the Voice Memos in the Playlist check Box. Uncheck it and re-sync.
    It helped this time on my iTouch and my iPhone!  At least this time.

  • We have an "old school" DVD player (Sony dvp-nc80v) that plays music throughout our home.  Is there a connector that we can purchase to hook-up our iPhone or MacBook Air to also play music until we buy some new equipment?

    We have an "old school" DVD player (Sony dvp-nc80v) that plays music throughout our home via connection to multiple embedded speakers.  Is there a connector/piece of hardware that we can purchase to hook-up our iPhone or MacBook Air to also play music until we buy some new equipment?

    A crude but effective way would ,assuming the Sony has an AUX in ,
    is a stereo bluetooth receiver
    plugs into aux and recives music over B/T from
    the iPhone etc ,as used by many in vehicle
    For instance as an example

  • Everytime I hook up my iphone 5 to itunes it says it wont recognize my phone and that I need to restore it. I just got a new phone two days ago due to a hardware issue and got it home tried to put my music on it and had to restore it.

    Everytime I hook my Iphone 5 to itunes it wants me to restore the phone. I got a new phone two days ago because of this and other issues came home and went to put my music on it and it wanted me to restore which it resulted in a frozen screen with the picture of needing to connect the cable(it was a brand new phone). So I went back to Apple and they restore it there then came home again and the same thing happened although I have not restored it this time casue I dont have time to go back to Apple again. What am I doing wrong? This is happening to my husbands phone as well.

  • TS2430 Every time I hook up my iPhone 4 to my laptop Itunes says "cannot read the contents of the phone." and asks me to restore to factory settings. Any help?

    Hello, I recently was sent a replacement iPhone 4 from apple. I originally had it assigned to a laptop with an older version of iTunes and everything worked fine. I recently purchased a new laptop and assigned the new laptop to my phone with the newest version of iTunes. Now everytime I hook up my phone to my new laptop I get the same error message. "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone. Go to the Summary tab in iPhone preferences and click Restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings." Can anyone help, please!

    Did you try following the instruction to restore?  You are getting that message for a good reason - there is corrupted or altered data/settings on the phone.  Is this phone jailbroken or hacked?

    Hi there,
    Does anyone know about snap-on ear-hooks for the standard iPhone earphones?
    Cheers,

    Never tried them. Think I'm ordering some now. Apple ear buds do not work for me one bit.

  • Hooking up my iphone to a new computer for the first time....

    My computer broke and isn't worth fixing so I can't access it again. My mom just bought her a new laptop so I just inherited the one she had been using (actually ended up working out great for me cause it's only a year old and nicer than mine that broke).  My new computer didn't have iTunes on it until I just installed it a few moments ago.
    My question is whether or not I need to be concerned that my iPhone is gonna be erased the first time I plug it into this new computer?  I'm concerned I'll lose all my contacts, apps, photos, settings etc.  Just last week I backed up all my music and movies to my external drive, luckily I happened to do that right before the computer died so I'm not worried about that. 
    If it is a problem how do I stop it from erasing all that when it syncs? 

    In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with music and videos with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only.
    When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first.
    Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on your iPhone as part of the iTunes sync/transfer process. The original resolution of these photos is reduced on your iPhone. All photos on your computer and all photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data, which should include your iTunes library as well.
    Backing up your iTunes library per the instructions included with this link and transferring the backup to a new or different computer will prevent any iTunes content from being erased from your iPhone first when transferring iTunes content from a new or different computer.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iDevice but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to authorize the new or different computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so. With your iPhone connected to iTunes and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    You can use a 3rd party paid utility such as this one to transfer photos from your iPhone that were transferred from your former computer, but the original resolution of these photos will be lost, and such utilities are not supported by Apple.

    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer. If you aren't doing so, contacts on your iPhone are not touched when syncing your iPhone with iTunes on a new or different computer. If you are syncing contacts with a supported address book application on your computer and the supported address book application on the computer is empty, before the first sync for this data enter one contact in the supported address book application on your computer. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.

  • Will hooking up my iPhone to iTunes and "Transfer Purchases" also transfer my music?

    If I deleted all my music files, but the library still has the tracks (with the '!' symbol) and I transfer purchases, even though not all of them are purchased but ripped from CDs and such, would that restore the missing files?
    If it doesn't is there anyway to restore the missing library files with my iPhone? An app? Thanks!

    It will transfer itunes purchases ONLY.
    it has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use this to put all of the music back.

  • If I got one of the free books off of Itunes, how do I read it? I double click and it does nothing. Is it only to hook up to Iphones or Ipads?

    I got one of the free books of Itunes and I'm wondering how I read it.  I double click and nothing happens.  Is it only for Ipads and Iphones??

    If you have one of the public-domain books provided by Project Gutenberg (these are books published many years ago and which have therefore fallen out of copyright, such as the Dickens and Jane Austin books), you should be able to open it using Calibre:
    http://calibre-ebook.com/
    or one of the other applications that can open ePub format. Launch the app and point it to the book file, which will be in your iTunes folder, in iTunes Music (Media) -> Books.
