IPhone 4 32GB compatibility with Volvo USB

Hello.
I have a problem to use the USB connection with my Volvo C30 -2011. It worked with my iPhone 3GS 32GB. But when i connect the new one it tells me "Unreadable unit". Anyone else with the same problem? How to solve it?

Confirmed with an iPhone 3GS with OS4. This was working in my 2010 Volvo XC60 before OS4. One variation on the reported issue is that it would play for 1 minute before the USB Unreadable error message is displayed. Unplugging and plugging back in would only cause the same issue again. Tried the fix just now and it worked perfectly (turn off iPhone completely, plug in to car, stereo on and in USB mode). The iPhone powered up from off and rebooted. Pressed OK when prompted about the device compatibility. Note you may have to skip the first track for the fix to take effect. Apple (I know you are reading this Steve) please fix in the next release - Very frustrating!

IPhone 5 not working with car USB after iOS8.2 update

Hi,
After upgrading my iPhone 5 (32GB, 8.9GB free, model MD299PP/A) to iOS 8.2 (12D508), it doesn't work as usual when connecting to my car's USB port. Before upgrade, I can still see the track names or podcast info in my car stereo display, and can use the navigation controls to select songs. Now, my car stereo display says "iPod NO MUSIC" or "iPod ERROR READING", and can't use the nav controls, although the sound is still coming out of the car speakers.
The above error is seen on my Toyota Corolla Altis 1.6G, so I tried it in my Ford Fiesta 1.5 Sports. Same problem, the dashboard says that "ERROR READING FILE".
I then connected my iPad Air (iOS 8.1.3), and it works well with both cars.

Howdy emoy81,
It sounds like you upated your iOS device to 8.2 and now you are unable to listen to your iPhone through your car due to this error message. I would recommend usin these troubleshooting steps from the following article:
Get help using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with your car stereo
Troubleshooting tips
Try these troubleshooting tips.
Beginning playback and controlling music
Some car stereos might require that playback be started or controlled from either the device or the stereo. Ensure that your car stereo is set to the proper input for your device. If it is and you cannot hear sound from your car speakers, try switching to your radio and then back to the proper input.
When using adapters to connect to your car stereo, you might notice variations in audio quality. When possible, use a shorter connection to the car stereo or try a different cable or adapter.Disconnect and restart
If you are experiencing difficulties with the connection between your stereo and device, disconnect the device, and then power cycle the stereo and your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. When the Home screen reappears, reconnect your device. If you cannot power cycle the stereo, turn the car off and then back on to allow the stereo to power off.Isolate the issue
Try to reproduce the issue with an identical or similar accessory, if one is available, or test with a second device.
For example, if you hear static coming from the left audio channel, try connecting a different device or try connecting to a different stereo or accessory that connects over the same interface (30-pin or Lightning connector, Bluetooth, or headphone jack).Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you have isolated an issue to the device, restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to its factory condition. You should rarely need to use this step with an accessory issue. If the issue affects only a third-party accessory, contact the accessory manufacturer before restoring your iOS device.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

IPhone 4S 32GB compatibility

I'm going to travel to the US and want to buy one iPhone 4S 32GB. As I live in Spain, I just wanted to confirm if I can use it here normally (compatibility of network, frequency, etc).
Thanks!

Hi, fseii
The prices you are comparing are for a US iPhone locked to AT&T which you would not be able to use with any other carrier. A factory unlocked iPhone 4S 16GB costos $650 in a US Apple Store versus €599 in a Spanish Apple Store. That is why I said that the difference in prices between the US and Spain for a factory unlocked iPhone 4S is not that big at today's rate of exchange. The 32 GB is $100 more also in both countries' Apple stores.
If I were to buy my iPhone 4S today, I would not buy it in the US, I would buy it in Spain. When I purchased by iPhone last year the exchange rate was more favorable for me to purchase the iPhone in the US inspite of the warranty issue mainly because I have close family members in the US that I could send my iPhone to in case I needed service under warranty. Fortunately, my iPhone is working beautifully, but if I were to buy it today, I would buy it in Spain.
I hope this helps you make a decision.

Compatability with PCMCIA USB 2 & Zen Touch

Hi,
My laptop only has USB . built in so I have recently purchased a PCMCIA USB 2 card. It appears that the card is functioning correctly and there are no problems when used with my digital camera, printer or mouse. However, when I connect the Zen Touch it starts working initially...the player says that it's docked and it seems to communicate with the computer (bringing files up in MediaSource etc...) but as soon as I try to transfer files to or from the devide the computer crashes. Firstly MediaSource stops responding, then Windows entirely freezes meaning I have to hold the power down button to reset the machine.
Please, please, please can someone help me with this problem...it's driving me insane!!
Thanks, Tom.

I know it works properly on USB but I dont own a desktop PC to try try it on there. There was a suggestion that it may be that there is not enough power getting to the Zen from the USB socket but the software with the USB card shows the power levels and it is being supplied plenty of power.
I am becoming more curious about what is going on here becasue now I am unable to transfer music through the USB sockets on the laptop. MediaSource start to transfer then brings up and error saying that some other application is using the Zen or something along those lines.
Anyhow, I am now stuck because I dont have any other way of transferring music to or from the player.

Recommendation: USB media compat with Keyboard USB port

IMac G5 20" LCD, 1GB RAM.
I need recommendations on USB memory sticks/flash drives that work connected to the USB (1.1) port on the (stock) white Apple keyboard that came with the computer.
I've done a few searches on the web, but cannot find sources that say "this works, no driver required". So I am looking for real-life people who "know" a model/brand has worked.
This is for a classroom/lab environment, so "no driver required" is a necessity.
Thanks for any/all replies to this thread.
Please send me an email as well (as I might not check this thread for a day or two).

Hi John,
Just thought I'd add that I have a SanDisk Cruzer Mini 256MB that works fine when plugged directly into the computer or a powered hub, but I also get a low power message if I try to plug it into the usb port keyboard ("The USB device cannot operate because it needs more power than is available.").
In response to your comment "a)", this isn't entirely correct. USB 2.0 can (and was designed to) work on 1.1 ports, though the transfer speed will be reduced. Curiously, I have an iPod Shuffle (which is USB 2.0) that connects with no problems to my keyboard (USB 1.1) and there is no "low power" alert. The transfer time is noticeably slower than if it's plugged directly into the computer or hub (both USB 2.0 on my computer), but it's more convenient and often fast enough for transferring small files.
If you've discovered anything with new USB flash drives I'd be interested in hearing about it. I'm considering a new one but I would like one that I can plug it into my keyboard port.
Cheers,
Matt

I can't get my iPhone 4S to charge with a usb (2.0) hub

I have an Early 2011 17" MBP, (10.7.4), and my iPhone 4S charges just fine when plugged directly into any of it's (3) USB ports.
However I am having no luck getting it to charge, (or be recognized by iTunes for that matter), through a powered Belkin 7-port USB 2.0 hub, (model F5U237.)
While it would be nice for this to just work, I would also like to hear from anyone with suggestions for a different USB hub, that does consistently charge their iPhone.
I have read cases with people who have to plug and unplug their usb hubs, or power supply, to get them to work.
If I were interested in this scenario, I'd just keep doing what I am already doing, --swapping out USB's from my MBP.
I am simply looking for a totally reliable solution, that never needs such nonsense to work consistently.
Thanks for any and all help!

I knew it was several years old, I had one and never got it to work with my iPhone 3G. I use the Kensington, looks like half a ball, but just about any new one should work. Keep in mind if you connect a lot of devices that are pulling power it may affect it.

Printing from iPhone and iPad directly with the USB cable

Is it possible to connect an iPad directly to a printer via USB to print? Do I need to install any software on my iPad? Will this also work with iPhone?

you still need a Pc or Mac connected via usb to the printer.
there are programs that allow you to see fron iOs the printer as Airprint compatible, i dont remember the name of these programs.
obiously the Mac/Pc and iPhone /iPad should be on the same wifi network

Can i watch videos from my iphone on my TV with the USB cable?

Hello. My TV has a USB port but i can't seem to get my iphone videos through my tv by linking it via the USB cable. Does anybody know a way to do this?

You cannot connect an iPod to your TV via USB. You need one of these two cables:
Apple Component AV Cable
Apple Composite AV Cable
depending on this inputs available on your TV.

Time Capsule compatibility with Wireless USB Hub

Is it possible to use a wireless USB hub with the Time Capsule? I am thinking of using a Belkin wireless USB hub, which would have the USB receiver/antenna for the hub connected to the TC, and my printer connected to the hub.
Below is the link for the Belkin Wireless USB hub that I wanted to use:
http://shop3.frys.com/product/5845573#detailed
My reason for doing this is because I want to keep my wireless printing capabilities, but I want to move the TC downstairs and "bridge" it with my AT&T U-Verse wireless router/modem. At the moment I am not able to have my TC and router/modem in the same room.
My thinking is that this will not work because the TC will not recognize that type of USB device (i.e. the USB receiver/antenna for the hub). But if this works this would solve a great deal of logistic problems.

I still have questions about how to connect the Brother printer through ethernet. When connected does the airport utility have some area where you can identify the printer as a network printer as opposed to USB?
The AirPort Utility would only come into play if the printer was attached to the TC's USB port. Printers, attached by Ethernet, would have to "network-ready." Controlling these types of printers would be through the printer driver that you would access through the operating system interface.
In my HP example, the HP printer driver does provide access to a number of features particular to this printer model. Most manufacturers include an installation CD that provide useful utilities ... albeit most are written for Windows. I would suggest checking out the Brother support site to see if they have Mac-specific drivers or utilities.

Can I charge my iphone 5 and iPad with a USB 3.1 amp charger?

I recently purchased a 120 volt duplex outlet that has a 2 port USB 3.1 amp charger built into it from my local electrical supply store. They said it would charge my iPhone 5 and iPad. Will 3.1 amps be ok to charge these devices or will it damage them.

It will be OK. The charger is actually in the phone, and it regulates the charging current regardless of the actual available current from the USB source.

Soundcard compatibility with a USB FM transmitter

I've upgraded to 10.4.8 and a LineX USB powered FM transmitter I have (it automatically takes any sound generated by the computer thru' the USB port to be TX'd on a tiny FM signal..) suddenly doesn't 'see the sound' anymore. Are there other soundcard drivers I could try which are similar to earlier OS X versions, namely 10.1., as it worked fine then..?

Check the output settings in the "Sound" Systems Preference and check the "Output" settings in the Audio MIDI Setup Utility (Utilities folder). They should be 44,100Hz, 16-Bits, with the volume sliders to the right.

HT201210 iphone displays "itunes" logo with a USB cable pointing toward it

Hi
Whilst downloading the latest "itunes" update, I left the room and came back half an hour later to discover the above on my iphone screen.
On switching the phone off to remove the symbol message, the same message on a black background was all I could access each time I restarted the phone.
Any ideas of what happened and how I can use my phone normally again.
Your help would be appreciated.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iPhone 5 stopped working with my 2015 Subaru Outback after the iOS 8.1.3 update

My iPhone 5 stopped working with the USB connector on my 2015 Subaru Outback. The phone will still charge, but the message is something like "this iPhone will not work with this accessory". Is there a fix being made? I saw others post with issues with the latest update. It worked fine with the prior iOS version 8.1.2

Hello bballfan85,
It sounds like your getting an error message that the iPhone isn't going to work with your Subaru all of a sudden over USB. I would use these troubleshooting steps from this article, named:
If you need help with iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch accessories
Update your software
Install the latest version of iOS. You can see which version is on your iPhone by going to the About screen.Disconnect and inspect the accessory, then restart your device
Disconnect the accessory and turn it off, if possible.
Inspect the connection between the accessory and device and make sure that no debris or other damage is present.
Restart your iOS device by turning it off, then back on. When the Home screen appears, reconnect the accessory.
Try a different device
Make sure the issue is with the accessory, if possible. Always use an identical or similar, compatible device with the accessory you're troubleshooting.
If there's static coming from the left audio channel when you use headphones, try connecting the headphones to a similar device.
If the device isn't syncing when connected to the dock, connect it directly to the computer using the Apple 30-pin to USB Cable or try another USB port.
If you're using Lightning to 30-pin Adapter in a connection chain, try using the same adapter on a similar or identical device.
Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Restore your iOS device. You should rarely need to use this step with an accessory issue. If the issue only affects a third-party accessory, contact the manufacturer before restoring the device.
These steps will help you troubleshoot the iPhone side of the equation.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Hi everyone! I tried to install the new iOs 7 on my iphone 4, but it wasn't completed (showing error 4005). Now, my iphone is stuck on the itunes' logo with the usb cord, and I can't use my phone. And itunes doesn't detect my iphone when I connect it on my computer, so I can't put it in recovery mode or someting like that... What can I do?? I tried everything they tell me to do in the apple support but nothing seems to work. Thank you!

No problem, glad to help!
Update: my PC USB hub was connected to a USB 3 port, I connected the 30 pin cable directly to my PC, And the restore worked just fine. Restored phone from iCloud backup and seems to be working fine.
