Ios 4.2.1 won't connect to 'made for iPod' car stereo

I wish I'd NOT updated from ios 3.1.3. Then I could listen to music on my iPod (touch, 2nd gen, 8gb) in my car via the car stereo (Kenwood KDC-W6541U) USB port with not problems.
Ever since I updated to ios 4.0 (and 4.1 which didn't solve the problem either) whenever I plug my iPod the car stereo display flashes 'reading'. I've checked the Kenwood website, but there are no updates for the stereo.
I'd hoped the 4.2.1 update would've resolve the problem, but it didn't. The main reason I'd bought an iPod was to listen music in the car!
Recently I've not bought anything from iTunes, whats the point as I can't listen to it.
I'm getting disillusioned. I've tried plugging/unplugging, switching on/off, resetting, etc, etc with no success. Anyone got any ideas?
Apple, get this sorted, please! ios 3.1.3 worked fine.

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. i have a kenwood kvt-514 head unit. once i updated my ipod touch to v4.2.1 some songs didn't play, no album artwork was displayed, ect. i tried doing all of the above and nothing. hopefully apple is working this out.

Low resolution albumart when connected to 'made for Ipod' ICE-systems.

I've recently installed a new stereo in my car. It is 'made for Ipod', and should therefore work great with my new Ipod Touch (3G) 32GB. And it does, in all ways but one. The albumart, shown on the stereo, looks really poor (with low resolution).
I've spent some time looking for info in this matter on the net. Apparently the same problem occurs with many different brands of ICE-systems (In Car Entertainment). According to posts on other forums this problem came with a recent firmware upgrade (v3.0?), and possibly has something to do with coverflow. Older versions of Ipods apparently shows crisp albumarts on these stereos (can't confirm this, my Ipod is too new).
Since it seems it could be a software related problem, can one expect a fix in future firmware upgrades? Or is this something I/we have to live with (due to limitaitons in the hardware)?

I'm having a similar problem. I can pair my ipod nano with my BT speakers first time and work perfect, but the next time I try to play music through the speakers I MUST do a manual connection beacuse the nano not auto connects with ANY paried devices. I mean, the BT speakers appears as paried, but not connected
I am extremely frustrated too.
Any idea?
Tested with diferent devices with same behaviur.

Iphone 4 since upgrade to ios 5.1.1 no longer works with made for itunes, iphone devices.

Ever since I upgraded to IOS 5.1.1 my Iphone no longer works for playing music thorugh my Apline car unit, My Logic 3 clock radio, and a Next made for ipod device.
I can sync through ITunes on the PC and can also play videos through the HDMI adapter.   My wifes iphone 4s and the kids hand me down iphone 3s still play fine through these made for Itunes , Ipod , Iphone devices.
I want to downgrade back to the prior IOS I had before Apple encouraged me to install this bugged one.   How do I go about getting a legit non jailbroken prior IOS version installed on my Iphone?
Is Apple aware of this issue , as I have seen blogs about this it is affecting other people?   Will this issue be resolved with ios 6?
Can I get the beta ?
Thanks,
Douglas

Agreed. Same thing here. Just bought a late model Alpine INE-S920Hd and it is all kinds of broken. I think this is happening because Apple shifted the music and video. Totally buggy. Bluetooth refuses to work properly, too. A2dp keeps stealing the audio from Pandora in the Alpine interface. The ipod controls dont work at all.

How do I connect my ipad to my car stereo without the ipad screen message 'Accessory connected'

How do I connect my ipad to a car stereo without the screen message showing, 'Accessory connected', which prevents me being able to select the music I want from ipad screen.

Read the stereos owners manual. My Pioneer deck has a setting to allow iPod control which works for the iPad as well.

Macbook Air (Mid-2013) and iPhone 5s IOS version 8.1 won't connect via bluetooth, anyone know how to fix this problem?

I have a Macbook Air running OS-X Yosemite and an iPhone 5s running IOS version 8.1. Every time I try to connect the devices via bluetooth is won't connect saying my Macbook Air isn't supported when in actuality it is. Anyone know how to fix this issue? I have restarted both my Mac/Iphone and have turned bluetooth on/off and nothing seems to help. Bluetooth pairing didn't work before I updated to IOS 8.1 so I doubt that is the issue here.

Pairing an iPhone to a computer (Mac or Windows) is only supported for personal hotspot (sharing the iPhone's cellular internet connection) and then only if your cellular plan supports it. More information: Bluetooth: Why can't I pair my iPhone or iPad with my computer?

IOS devices and Exchange won't connect over Wifi

Neither my ipad nor my iphone 5 will connect with my exchange server over my wifi network. The problem is limited to IOS devices on wifi and Exchange. The phone will connect with exchange over the cellular network. My windows laptop works fine over wifi with exchange and everything else. The ipad and iphone will connect to wifi and have no problems with web browsing, gmail, etc. I've used both devices successfully for months and the problem started yesterday. I did not do any IOS updates yesterday.
iPad and iPhone are both on IOS 7.0.4
The message on the screen: Cannot Get Mail. Server error. Contact your server administrator.
It also says: Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed.
What I've tried:
Resetting network settings (only tried on iPad, since it didn't work)
Powering off each device then turning back on
Powered down the wireless router and powered back up
Confirmed with the exhange hosting company (GoDaddy) that they've made no changes

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

So a week after i updated iOS 8 my wifi won't connect other devices will, i am unable to get to a apple store since where i live doesn't have them. this is the second time iPod has done something like this. I've tried restarting it and everything

so i tried to restart the iPod, 'forget' the wifi name and re join nothing happened. i also did the reset network connection. as i said please give me something i can do via macbook or home since i live no where near a apple store. Last year my iPod shut off and wouldnt work this now is happening. Do i have to restore?? and how can i save everything from deleting....??

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Dreamweaver ftp won't connect to host for one one site

HI,
have spent over 3 hours on this, and double checked
everything, even with ISP to make sure my host address is correct.
I can connect to the host address via other programs and ftp
I have the same settings in dreamweaver, but it won't
connect.
I can connect to other sites with this same dreamweaver, and
can create NEW connections too, but not to this one site that I can
connect to with everything else, but dreamweaver.
The is dreamweaver MX,
Can anyone help?

Adobe provides a test FTP server for these purposes. You can read about it here -

Try setting up a connection to that server and see if you can connect.

AirPort Utility won't connect to AirPort for configuration

I was playing around earlier today with port mapping/static IP assignments, configuring my BitTorent client, when my AirPort network started to keep dis/reconnecting at regular intervals. I stopped what I was doing, and decided to reset the APX and start from scratch, and leave things as they were.
*The problem is, AirPort Utility often doesn't recognize the APX at all, and if it does it won't connect within the utility in order to configure the APX.*
This is strange, because after a hard reset, the AirPort icon in the menu bar shows will often connect to the now-generic, out-of-the box name Apple Network f790b07 but STILL AirPort Utility will NOT 'join network' in order to configure the APX.
HELP!

IPod Car Stereo Connection

I just recently bought an aftermarket Kenwood, iPod compatable stereo for my car. When I plug in the iPod to the stereo (it has the modulator {direct connection, not FM}), all it plays is the first song on my list. I can't go from one album to the next. Did I set up my iPod wrong, or is it something else? Please help...thank you!!!

I just spoke to Apple tech support. The techie said that they changed the pin configuration and that he did not know of any workaround for in-car charging. He also said that the 4th gen Nano (out of the box) and the 3rd gen Nano (after the latest software update) will no longer go into standby mode when connected to non-apple interfaces. He also said that they are working on it and the standby mode should work again after the next software update.

Connections to Home radio and Car Stereo

Do they have an accesory that would let me listen to my ipod through my car stereo when im driving and my home stereo when i'm at home?...An all in one deal?

Not sure if I understand what you meant, but my iPhone does detect my home wifi. I re-input the password, but it still doesn't connect. I verified the account and password with Comcast, my internet provider, and they confirmed the info is correct.

Is there any way to adapt and connect an AppleTV to 30pin Digital Audio with Certified and Made for Ipod/Iphone only declared HiFi like Panasonic SC-PMX5EG-S to listen via Airplay my Digital Audio content only?

Please advice. I do not like to wire up this box by RCA-Audio jack or any other analog technology
btw.: Cheap Bluetooth modules do not work on this HiFi reciver and will be detected like: "unsupported device", because it is made for Apple* only...
Thank you in advanced,
Kind regards,

The ATV does not connect to dock or lightning connectors. It connects to a TV or AV receiver.

Updated to iOS 7, but iCloud won't connect to server to review Terms & Conditions

I've tried via wireless network and cell network. It also won't let me change the id log-in. What can I possibly do?

Hello Ekempe,
If your problem occurred after updating your iPhone to iOS 7 and if you have Updated to iOS 7 directly from your iPhone then I would recommend you to take a backup of all your data on your computer and then Restore your iPhone to Factory settings from your Computer through iTunes. To restore your iPhone through iTunes once you connect your iPhone to your computer you should be able to see your ip hone in iTunes on your computer and then select your iPhone and you should see Update/Restore and Backup/Restore. You can first click on backup and let the backup complete (you can see the progress of the backup on top of your itunes screen) and after the backup is completed disconnect your iPhone from computer and then Turn Off your iPhone Completely, Once your iPhone is turned off Press and keep holding the Home button which is located at the bottom of your iPhone Screen and now without releasing the Home button connect your iPhone back to the Computer and you should see a Message on your Computer saying iTunes has detected iPhone in Recovery Mode ( you can release the Home button once you see this Message) Now you can click on Restore ( this will Restore your iPhone to Factory settings) let the Restore complete as this may take some time to complete which depends on your Internet speed and Computers performance. Once the Restore is completed your iPhone will restart and again get connected to itunes on your computer. And it should give you a page where it says Setup as New iPhone or Restore from backup, so you can select Restore from Backup and click continue ( your backup should get restored to your iPhone and your iPhone will restart. Once your iPhone restarts you should see a welcome screen on your iPhone and by following some basic steps you should be able to setup your iphone for first use. After setting up your iPhone check if it fix your issue. Best of Luck and Hope This fixes your issue.
