    I get error message 42032 when trying to connect an iPhone to iTunes. Any ideas how to fix it?

    Did you already try these suggestions?
    Check USB connections
    Related errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response,” and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

    No such option on an iPhone.  Just go to Settings>wifi, tap the name (SSID) of your your home network from the list, then when prompted, enter the password.

    Trying to connect my iphone 5 to the wifi and I can not remember the password to the router. Is there a way of retrieving the password or have the ability to change WIFI password

    Your router wifi password will also be stored in your Keychain.

    type the name of your network into the search field or manually scroll through the list.
    The password will be hidden but you can check to Show Password

  • I'm trying to connect my iphone 4S to Alpine CDE-125BT head unit.

    I'm trying to connect my iphone 4S to Alpine CDE-125BT head unit.  I have the latest iphone IOS update (v5.1).  When I connect the phone, the head unit gives me "Unit Error" which means that the iphone is not recognized.  How do you fix this problem?

    KitledTim, thanks for your responses.  I appreciate your help.
    I have more information that prove useful to others who view this post.  The user manual for the CDE-125BT states that a user MUST have the ALPINE FULL  SPEED Connection cable (PN KCE-433iV) to connect to the ipod/iphone (this cable is only supplied with the CDE-126BT) connected to the back of the head unit.  What is more confusing is that what is supplied with the -125BT is a standard USB to iphone cable giving you the impression that it will work on the front USB port.  The installers at Best Buy have seen that the front port has worked in the past but has had problems lately after the 5.1 IOS push.  I went and purchased the FULL SPEED Connection cable and now audio streaming does work.  The only thing that doesn't work is the ability to charge the phone when plugged into the radio.
    How do you drop a line to Apple to ask about accessories (or problems with accessories)?  I'm trying to provide as much info to Alpine to see if they have a solution.

  • Keep getting sync service error when trying to connect my iphone 5S.

    Keep getting sync service error when trying to connect my iphone 5S. It freezes itunes and I can't do anything else. I see that there is an update for my phone and I need to back up, upload new apps, etc before installing. I plug my phone in and get this error every time. I am using a Win 7 SP1

    Howdy Susie48825,
    It sounds like you are getting an error that mentions the sync services when you connect your phone to your computer and so you cannot sync your device. I would use the troubleshooting from the following article that  mentions an error regardign the sync services named:
    iTunes for Windows: "Unable to load data class" or "Unable to load provider data" sync services alert
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2690
    Start with these steps:
    1. Check that iTunes is up-to-date
    Ensure that you have updated to the latest version of iTunes.
    2. Reset Sync History
    Resetting your Sync History is a simple step which may resolve some syncing issues. If this works, iTunes will prompt to Merge or Replace the information on your device when you next attempt to sync. To reset your Sync History:
    Disconnect your device.
    Open iTunes.
    From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
    Click the Devices tab.
    Click the Reset Sync History button, and then reconnect your device.
    If this resolves the issue, and you know all of your contacts, calendars, bookmarks and notes are on your computer:
    Reset the Sync History again using the steps above.
    Select the device in iTunes and click the Info tab.
    Scroll down to the Advanced section, and under "Replace information on this iPhone/iPad/iPod touch" select Contacts or Calendars.
    Click Apply.
    If the issue persists, and you know all your contacts, calendars, bookmarks and notes are on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
    Remove all of the contact and calendar information from Outlook.
    Select the device in iTunes and click the Info tab.
    Scroll down to the Advanced section, and under "Replace information on this iPhone/iPad/iPod touch" make sure Contacts and Calendars are not selected.
    Click Apply.
    There are additional steps to use in the article if needed, but these will get you started.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

    Depends on your model TV.   Read your TV user manual.  The newer models have "how to hookup" instructions for computer & games.
    You can also do a forum search as well as a Google search.
