IPhone 3G ver 3.1 - spotlight doesn't work with accessory connected anymore

Hello,
I've been using iPhone 3G for quite a long time now and everything was fine until a recent update to OS ver. 3.1... I've noticed, that spotlight doesn't work now as it worked before... The thing is that I'm using iPhone as a phone and a source of music in my car. I connect it to Pioneer car audio system via USB. Before 3.1 update I was able to search for a song in spotlight and when I tapped it - it just played via car speakers. Now it doesn't do anything. I keep tapping, but nothing happens. The only way to play a song - disconnect iPhone from Pioneer, find song in spotlight, tap on a song to launch it and connect iPhone to Pioneer while the song is playing.
Well, I have a workaround, but it requires both of my hands... But it's kind of unsafe to do so while driving... Could someone confirm spotlight working while connected to any accessory?.. Maybe I'm the only one having this issue and iPhone restore would help?.. I just don't want to restore without any reason...
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hi to the forum. This is my first post - ever!
It's taken me 25 years of Apple equipment purchase and enthusiastic advocation to get to this point.
And what has got me here? 'The GPS on my iPhone 3G has doesn't work'. If you Google this statement you get 12 million hits. It seems to me that's probably 12 million people who have a problem with an Apple product they've purchased.
I've read a lot of the solutions that other users have come up with - dozens of different ones. I've updated the iPhone software as soon as I can, I've been patient, I've given Apple chance to sort it out. I've even gone back to printing out Google maps onto paper (remember 'paper') and taken those out with me in the car to find my way around town.
However - the southern hemisphere summer is coming and I want to use the (totally brilliant) Navionics chart/GPS App on the boat. No chance. According to the iPhone we're in Africa not New Zealand.
So what to do? I can't find any 'official' info from Apple. I've no idea how the politics of these situations work - and I don't care! 12 million hits can't be wrong. Apple needs to tell it's users what is happening (even if they're still working on it), and when we can expect a fix.
Come on Apple, keep us in the loop - we love your products - and we want to keep advocating for you!
PS - this is the best place I could find to have ths little discusion - if anyone has a more direct line to God (err I mean Apple) please let me know!

Numbers 3.2 has changed too much, it doesn't work with my project anymore. How do I revert back to the previous version I was using?

Numbers 3.2 has changed too much, it doesn't work with my project anymore. 1) The sheet panels used to be on the left hand side and easily reviewable and searchable, but now they are on the top and it's harder to find a specific folder without scrolling (too time consuming), 2) I used to be able to duplicate a folder within my sheet panel window by simply clicking on a folder and hitting Command D, but that doesn't work now so it looks like I'll have to spend even more time to recreate the same tables that used to be easily duplicated, and 3) I can't choose fill colors that matched my project anymore because there are only limited choices available now. And these are only the changes that I'm aware of. I am very disappointed and frustrated. Whatever the motivation was to limit Numbers 3.2, I want the previous version back. How do I revert back to the previous version I was using?

The sheet panels used to be on the left hand side and easily reviewable and searchable, but now they are on the top and it's harder to find a specific folder without scrolling (too time consuming),
You can scroll more quickly between sheets if you don't use the left-right triangles, but instead move the cursor up into the bands with the "tabs" and drag right or left.
Also, if you have a lot if sheets for which you want a quick vertical list, then you can try the following have something like this pop up (showing your sheet names automatically) whenever you hit a keyboard shortcut (in my case shift-command-j):
This is done via a Jump to Sheet Automator Service (Dropbox download). To install just doubleclick the .workflow package and (if needed) click 'Download Anyway' in System Preferences > Privacy & Security.
This will cause a new item to appear in your Numbers > Services menu. Then, if you want a keyboard shortcut, go here in System Preferences and add one:
You can rename or remove the service by holding down the option key in Finder and choosing Go > Library > Services. You can also view the AppleScript contaned within the service by opening the .workflow package in Automator.
This particular service jumps to the first cell of the first table of the sheet you choose from an automatically generated list of all sheets in the current document.

Iphone 4-iOS 7.0.4 doesn't work with Philips DS1150 Docking Station

Hi all,
as said, I have an ipod touch 2nd generation and an iphone 4 already updated to iOS7.0.4
4 days ago I bought a docking station Philips DS1150 and while the ipod touch works perfectly, my iphone cames out with a popup message saying that the device is non supported.
I'm a quite confused about that, I bought that Philips because I tried it 6 months ago in an hotel room and it was simply amazing. I guess the iOS7 update messed up a little...
I've also run the reset instruction for both the dock and the iphone, I've also lost half day formatting the whole iphone as a fresh-form-factory and the message is always the same.
Any kind of help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I have the same problem and have since the 5.0 update. The 5.0.1 didn't fix it nor did the itunes updates including the most recent. Apple doesn's seem to care either as I am finding is the case with any bug they don't feel like fixing. Sorry, so far no solution either. I have erased erased everything and started over numerous times, still doesn't work.

Spotlight doesn't work with Time Machine?

ITunes 10.4.1 doesn't work with my keyboard anymore.

I used to use mmkeys.dll before to use the media keys on keyboard which is a 'Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 3000 v2.0' but now I can't use the media players without the iTunes in like control or whatever (not sure how to call it, but its when my iTunes is like 'in front' of the other programs I have in use, and like I can control it and stuff, sorry for my stupidity >_>).

One of the latest updates broke media keys. Apple "fixed" it by making it so you can use media keys when itunes is the active program, but they didn't fix it for when itunes is in the background. Unfortunatley, no one needs to use media when itunes is the active window. Logitech keyboards got a fix, but everyone else is stuck until a real fix comes out.

Of course the rendition antiword makes is just an approximation of the word document. If you want exact output you would have to ask your contacts to send you pdfs output directly from Microsoft Word.

JMS doesn't work with VPN connection on weblogic8.1

          Hi:
          We have used JMS topic on weblogic 7.x and we use both LAN and VPN connection.
          However, when we switch to weblogic 8.1, although it works fine when using
          LAN connection,
          it does not work when using VPN connection. We tried three different machines,
          got the same
          error.
          The error is:

Hi Tony,
          Given that the thick jar works, I would classify the problem
          as a bug - not a missing feature. The thin jar is contracted
          to be just as capable as the thick jar. My guess is that
          the bug is likely in IIOP but perhaps could be in JMS.
          Contact customer support (this forum is not maintained by
          customer support). Meanwhile, you can post your info
          to the IIOP newsgroup to see if they can help.
          You asked how long it would take to fix? That depends
          on bug priority (set by the customer) and bug complexity,
          but its usually measured in days or weeks (not months).
          You can speed up the process by giving support your
          logs and stack traces, as well as a simple reproducer,
          and telling them you are willing to try out a prototype
          patch. But before going through extra trouble, just give
          them the logs/stack traces, in case it is a known issue
          for which there is already a fix or there is a fix in progress.

Spotlight doesn't work on iPhone 4 IOS5

spotlight doesn't work!!! It doesn't find contact using MAIL field or NOTES field or any other, expect NAME of contact!!!
Any sugestion???
iPhone 4 with IOS 5.0

No, changing the settings doesn't affect the problem. When it's working —for that one search you get after rebooting—it honors the settings and searches only checked items ... so I don't believe it's a settings issue.
But after that single search (if you get that) it simply shuts down and stops working. No results of any kind from any area.
Nada. Zilch. Zippo.
I do have many apps and used the search as a way to quickly jump to an app instead of swiping through numerous screens. This is killing me. Hoping the fix is released soon; having searched the web on the issue, I see that it affects a great many users of ios5.

The Bluetooth on my 2012 Lexus doesn't work with my iPhone 5. My old android phone worked perfectly with my car. Even the tech guy at Lexus couldn't get it to work. What is apple doing to fix this.

The Bluetooth on my 2012 Lexus doesn't work with my iPhone 5. My old android worked perfectly with my car. Even the tech specialist at Lexus couldn't get it to work. Lexus said that other iPhone 5s were having the same problem. What is apple doing to fix this?

Going to the local Apple store this morning...
My problem is not uncommon as the board is showing signs of this happening to many others as well. That is where I found the restore and reboot information to try to solve the issue of crashing apps.
I understand that Apple will not "give away the cow", but letting iPhone users know that the problems they are having are being addressed by Apple is a little more comforting than nothing at all. Other wise, all the apps in world are useless and even more importantly worthless, if a person has to reset/reboot/reload just to get them to work.
IF Apple can not address the basic problems with todays iPhone apps, why should one believe that the iPhone 3.0 OS is any better? Using a PC comparison, which is better, XP or Vista. If the current iPhone OS of 2.2. what ever is not working that well (as related to down loaded apps and iTunes), will OS 3.0 be any better?
The waste of time I refer to is in going to the apps store and downloading the apps... Again why by apps if the free version does not work?

Any info abnout your issue at all?

Male to male audio cable for car doesn't work with my iphone 4s?

I have a 3.5 mm male to male cable that I have used in my car so I can listen to my music. It works fine with my iphone 3G, but it doesn't work with the new 4s. Is there a special cable I need to use with it? It's weird, because my earbuds work with either iphone, but not the audio cable. Suggestions??

I have the exact same issue with my new 4S.
I haven't find a solution yet.

WebScan doesn´t work with iPhone browser

The C4780 web interface for scanning is very practical because no driver installation on computer is required for scanning. Just point any web browser to its internal web server, start the scanning process and download the scaned image as a regular element on a web page, all using web standards, right?
Well, wrong for the iPhone browser.
For some reason, the C4780 (and probably other HP multifunction firmware) has incomaptible/untested Javascript/HTML that doesn´t work with the iPhone browser.
On preview action I´m getting a question mark box.
On scan action - where a new browser window would open on a desktop - I get nothing.
Please fix that. It could be very useful for me since I can simply scan stuff directly to my iPhone without having to open a computer.
I also posted this message under Scanning Faxing and copying.
Thank you,

On the iPhone, go to Settings...Safari...Turn Blocked PopUps off.
Worked for me with a PhotoSmart C4700.
It would be even nicer to have a simple iPhone app instead of using Safari.
(Anyone want to write it?)
