IPhone 3G played through MINI iPod Adapter on Saturday; however, on Sunday

I have a BMW adapter in the glove compartment of my MINI Cooper S 2003. It was installed by the factory. It worked with my iPod photo, my iPod Touch, and my iPhone 3G on Saturday. Today it stopped working. It may have not charged the iPhone 3G on Saturday, but it played through the stereo and it sounded better than the iPod classic. On Sunday it stopped being recognized when connected to dock port on the iPhone 3G. My IPod classic still works and same with the Touch. I tried it in Airplane mode, plugging it in prior/after starting the card. I am at wits end. Please help.

Folks, it appears an adapter may soon be on the way.

Ridax, a company that sells various iPod Dock Connector accessories, has begun taking pre-orders for its iPhone 3G Charge Converter. The small accessory, the design of which is still being finished, will allow iPhone 3G owners to use older iPod and iPhone charging accessories that are currently incompatible with the 3G to charge the device by converting the power stream to suit the iPhone 3G. It will feature both male and female connectors, as well as a mini USB connector on the side to provide a way to charge the device when connected to a non-charging, Dock Connector-equipped accessory, and will also function as a short Dock extender. Ridax’s iPhone 3G Charge Converter will be available in September for $40; those who want the device sooner can pre-order a $45 “bare” version which will ship in August, followed by the plastic cover which will arrive in September. There is no guarantee that the converter will be safe to use with all accessories, so use caution in ordering.

Is the jack not fitting into the top of the iPhone?
If so then you would need this adapter for it to fit properly.

ITunes disabled songs from playing through my iPod.

When I got my new Macbook Pro I synched my 5th generation iPod Touch (16GB) to get the music from my iPod to also be in my iTunes library on my new computer. I had around 1100 songs on my iPod and only about 600 transferred to my computer. The songs that didn't transfer to my computer are still on my iPod, but are greyed out and when I go to play one, my iPod will just skip the track completely. It seems as most of the songs that aren't playing are the ones that have come from CDs that I've downloaded onto my iPod through iTunes.

This happened to me. With iOS 7, there is a setting that wasn't on the iPhone before, that is automatically turned on with iOS 7.
To fix it, follow these steps:
Settings > iTunes & App Store > Under "show all", turn off "music" & "videos"
This will only display the songs for which you have put onto your iPhone and not all of your purchased content. It will also stop your iPhone from lagging between each song.

Headphones Plugged into iPhone , Music plays through speakers?

Hi , Just recently bought a iPhone 3G , However when i plug in the headphones ( the ones included in the box ) , The music from the ipod still plays through the speakers , I am unable to find any setting related to this either so i am unsure what to do.
- Alan

Make sure that your headphones are plugged all the way in.
Do you have a case that could be blocking them from going in?

My iphone wont play through accessory

My 32GB iPhone 3GS won't play music through the plug in accessory. I have 2 different accessories that plug into the bottom of the iphone to play music and both no longer work. I have checked the accessories with my other iPhone and they work with it, so it must be the phone.
Both accessories used to work.
When the iPhone is plugged in the music is played through the external iPhone speaker like it isn't connected at all.
I have inspected and "blown out" the iphone connector. Everything appears OK.
Could this be a software issue? Or a hardware issue? Everything else seems to working fine.
Ideas? Help please

Settings > General > Accessibility > Mono Audio > Set it to OFF.

All of a sudden my iphone wont play through my MPS docking station.

Up until this week I have happily been docking my iphone and playing the Tuen in Radio app. Then disaster- this week when I plug in to the mp3 iphone a message flashes up iphone unable to support this accessory.
I have rebooted my phone
I have checked for updates on my phone
I have checked its not the MP3 by testing my ipod in it- and it works
So have apple released an update- that may have affected this.
Has anyone else encountered an MP£ that suddenly became incompatible with their phone
Or have I knocked a setting

THANKS, I was going there but I thought I would try this out to see if anyone else had the problem.!!

IPhone 4S audio only playing through my iPod dock

My iPhone 4s audio is only working when I play it through an external device, such as an iPhone dock or the bluetooth output in my car, but it will not play audio through my external speakers or through a pair of headphone. Where the volume bar is at the bottom of the music app, it appears gray as if it is plugged into an external device when it is not. Hopefully someone can help!

Hi MSavageXIV,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you are not hearing sound from your iPhone when using headphones, start with these troubleshooting steps:
Inspect the headset jack for debris and clean if necessary.
Connect the headset and make sure the connector is pushed in all the way.
Check the volume setting. Adjust the volume by pressing the volume up and down button on the left side of the iPhone.
If you are trying to listen to music and cannot hear any audio, make sure that the music on iPhone is not paused. Try squeezing the headset microphone to resume playback. Additionally, from the Home screen you can choose iPod > Now Playing, then tap Play.
Make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed on the computer that you are syncing the iPhone with (songs purchased from the iTunes Store using earlier versions of iTunes won't play).
Try another Apple headset (some third-party headsets require an adapter to be used with original iPhone).
Try a different song or video.
Check to see if the iPhone alert sounds or other iPhone sound effects exhibit the same audio issues.
Disconnect the headset from the iPhone and see if sound comes from the built-in speaker.
If you do not hear sound from the built in speaker, try these steps:
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.

The music files on my Iphone are still on the ipod app...however they do not play! what to do?

Hi All
Basically over a month ago now my laptop had a virus and completely crashed and i lost everything, including all of my music
Luckily I had it all of my purchases on my Iphone so I was safe. However, yesterday my phone was close to dying and my friend plugged it into her laptop to charge forgetting that it immediately tries to sync the files... I managed to pull it out in time but I think i was too late as all of my songs are still listed on my ipod app on the phone...however none of them play!
Please help me get them back guys!
Thanks
Steff

Yes you can. But keep in mind that if you want to play your deleted songs, you will have to redownload them from the cloud. So while you can delete them off your system to free up space, you cannot directly play music from the cloud. It has to be downloaded to your computer first.

No sound thru iPhone 3G playing music from iPod section

My wife's iPhone 3G (version 3 software) is experiencing a "no sound" issue in certain circumstances. The phone rings fine (and alerts chime), but there is no longer any sound from the iPhone when she tries to play songs from the iPod section. If she connects headphones or connects to a music dock, the sound plays fine. Further, the volume control slider does not appear at the bottom of the screen while a song is playing thru the iPhone (it does show when headphones are connected).
Also, in Settings, Keyboard Clicks is turned on but no clicks are heard when typing on the keyboard. And no sound is heard when turning off the device.
Any ideas? My same iPhone with version 3.0 installed is not exhibiting these symptoms.

I had the exact same problem the other night. I tried the reset and restore options but found these did not help.
I deleted the applications I had added since i last has sound and i found that bingo the sounds worked again. (i had added shazam and a couple others) I was able to add these back again (withouth paying again for them) after the sound was restored. Maybe if you have this problem again try deleting some apps and see how it goes.

IPhone only plays through one speaker

Just recently my iPhone has stopped working on one side through the speakers. This is also is the same thing when listening through the speakers.
Has anyone had a similar problem??

When you say "speaker" do you mean the speaker on the iPhone or one of the channels on the ear buds?
If one of your earbuds isn't playing music, the cord may have gotten damaged. Try another pair of buds and see if the missing sound channel comes back.
If it is your ear buds, call (800) my-iphone and talk to tech support. I had a pair of buds get static-ky aproximately 1.5 months post purchased and Apple shipped me a replacement pair at no cost. They will expect you to return the defective pair, so don't think this is a way to get a free "spare pair" of earbuds!

How to get sour to play through mini display via vga without sound cables?

I know that many of you guys might tell me that this question is stupid or that it is impossible to do it but i run in to problems that usually the company that made the product can't asnwer it all the time. So here it is. I have the mid 2009 MBP 17 in. 2.8ghz Core 2 duo. I've been using a minidisplay to VGA cable to connect to a sony briva tv since i've had it. and most time i'd have to plug in the 3.5mm jack to get the audio working. but once just once my mac decided to give all the audio control over to the TV without the auxilary cable plugged in. See, i accidentally pressed play and i started to hear sounds. but it wasnt from my mac. and the volume was completely up to the control of the tv. it was weird yet convinent, but as i was checking the connection to see what the **** i did, i took it out of clam mode which swithch my resolution and reconnect the display with the sound having to go through the auxilary again. So if any of you have had this luck and know how to do it please help me out.

How can I get my iPod to play through the 30 pin connector?

I bought an 30 pin to 8 pin adapter. I plugged it into my iPod and plugged it into the sound system (new Yamaha MCR -049). The scene says "unknown iPod" and will not play music (it comtinues to play through the iPod's speaker) and it does not indicate that the iPod is charging. What am I doing wrong?

Is a lightning adapter the same as 8 pin ? The manufacurer says this stereo says this only works with iPod 5 (mine is) and the only way to connect is an adapter. I bought an after market brand instead of Apple branded. I think I have a bad adapter. I'll buy a 39 pin to lightning adapter. I think that's the only way I can figure put if the dock works.

My Iphone does not play through headphones

My brand-new Iphone 4S plays through it's speakers even though headphones are connected. I have tried:
- Resetting the Iphone and restoring my old Ipod touch backup (could that be the problem?)
- Using headphones other than the ones provided with the Iphone
I looked through settings to see if I had accidently switched something to speakers only, but I didn't find anything.
Suggestions please?

I found the solution - apparently my Iphone was defective, and didn't recognize any Apple software the Apple Store employees tried to install on it. If anyone else has a similar problem, I reccomend you take it in to get checked, they might have to replace it.
