IPhone 4...still doesn't work with hearing aids

Well. Among all the great features the iPhone offers, I still see no sign that it will be compatible for people with hearing aids and/or cochlear implants...again.
Seriously, this is the iPhone 4. What gives?
Many phones out there have this compatibility, why does Apple continue to neglect the hard of hearing? Same with iTunes not having movies with captions/subtitles. Sure some do, but hardly any new ones or popular ones.
My god if Apple would fix this I would be TOTALLY buying all their products.

Apple should have made it compatible, especially with the ASL-friendly spin that's being put on the front facing camera.
Although the phone doesn't have a proper T-coil rating, there are options that will work around the limitation. Some of the newer instruments out there are bluetooth compatible by way of NFMI - http://www.oticonusa.com/Oticon/Professionals/professional_products/dual/streame r.html
Another, more generic, option would accept bluetooth connectivity from the phone and convert it by way of neck loop to something you could use with your T-coil program - http://www.amazon.com/Artone-Bluetooth-Neckloop-Alternative-Headsets/dp/B000TZ1R 08
There are several variations on the same theme offered from the big hearing aid manufacturers. Obviously not an ideal solution, but it's better than nothing.

    Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...sign back in with the ID you want to use.

  • HT5655 Flash still doesn't work with Safari.

    I've done this repeatedly. Flash still doesn't work with Safari. It does work with Firefox and Chrome.
    I deleted the Flash plugin from Library>Internet Plugins. That didn't solve the problem either.
    What can I try next? Thanks.

  • Time machine still doesn't work with 10.5.2

    After loading 10.5.2 I find that Time Machine still doesn't work with a new Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) and USB drive although I was reassured by my local Apple retail store that the fix was in the update. I should have known better. <Edited by Moderator>

    Can you explain what archive and install is please?
    I am having the same problem. Automator as soon as it starts crashes.
    I have tried reinstalling from the OS disk, repairing permissions and none of them work.
    Many Thanks

  • Canoscan 4400f still doesn't work with mavericks

    Followed some earlier threads and downloaded appropriate toolbox and driver, but still doesn't work. I see discussion on the TwainBridge.app but not finding it.

    I use a 2007 iMac with 4 GB RAM and Mavericks (10.9). The 4400F support page shows Canoscan Toolbox 5 and a driver for 10.9. Great I thought!!! I downloaded and installed both. Toolbox doesn't even launch. I have to force quit it. The driver installed but I cant add the scanner in System Prefs-Printers & Scanners, does not show up. Vuescan sees it but will not function. No preview, nothing. Image Capture (my fav app for scanning till this) does not see the scanner at all.  I have sent feedback on the OS X page as well. From what I can see, just about all scanning (HP/Epson/Canon) was disabled after a Mavericks update. I am waiting for someone (Apple or Canon) to step up and fix this.

  • HT4528 iphone 4 charger doesn't work with iphone 5

    I bought an iPhone 5 recently and discovered I cannot charge it using the iPhone 4 USB charger. I plug the Lightning cable into the new Apple USB charger that came with the 5 and it works. I plug it into my older 4 Apple USB charger (that looks 100% identical) and it doesn't work. iPhone 4 works on both.
    What the heck?

    Check the output on both chargers and see if there is a difference.

  • IPhone 2.0 doesn't work with my exchange server

    My tech support guys have been working on my iPhone for an entire day and couldn't get it to work with the server. They are telling me that the phone isn't compatible with the exchange server and it would require an entire overhaul of our server and reconfiguration to get it to work. I thought the new iPhone was supposed to be so easy to use. I am so ready to ditch my blackberry and so very disappointed that I can't get the iPhone to work with our server. Macintosh support was completely useless to help figure out this problem- as they said they don't offer support to third party software- yet this phone is supposed to work with the Microsoft Exchange Server?! Can anyone offer any help?
    Below is the explanation my tech support gave me:
    I wanted to reach out to you to update you with your iPhone working on the peacock exchange. After spending considerable time with both AT&T and Macintosh, getting the phone to operate with exchange as easy as Macintosh advertises, has ended in a failure. Your phone device itself, is properly updated and has all the correct settings. Where the problem lies for you is on the Microsoft server end. This is where the server will have to have additional software and updates installed which would effect and change the peacock network environment. This can be potentially accomplished, however it will need to be evaluated for the additional costs and potential risks to the server and environment. That’s why BlackBerry is so popular with business networks, because it does not affect the Microsoft Exchange mail services in any shape or form. Blackberry runs on its own server service which acts as the bridge to communicate with the Microsoft service.
    AT&T was very helpful and tried everything they could to aid us. Macintosh on the other hand, was not very helpful. After a few unsuccessful attempts, Macintosh just came out and said that they do not support 3rd party software (i.e Microsoft Products). You can give Macintosh a try, and see if you end with better results.

    Actually Blackberry has two options, one where they pull from your server and then push it to your phone as described. Alternatively you can install their software on your server to relay. Both require additional services, software and fees. Instead the iPhone uses the ActiveSync included in the Exchange server, which is the same protocol used to communicate with Windows Mobile based devices.

    Essentially Apple does not configure Microsoft Exchange for your admins. We do provide a list of what versions of ActiveSync and which ActiveSync features we support. However, ActiveSync is part of the Microsoft Exchange server maintained and configured by your Exchange server admins.

  • Why iPhone 3G Dock doesn't work with audio cable?

    Hi, I'm Italian. I apologize for the mistakes, but I just learned English!
    I will try to explain you my problem. I bought an audio-video cable for iPhone to link it at my stereo and to get better the HiFi System, I decided to buy an iPhone 3G or 3GS dock (my iPhone is a 3G one). But, when I  linked all, the iPhone works with its speakers. Is possible to get working the iPhone like this:
    iPhone > audio/video cable > stereo
    with these links:
    iPhone > dock > audio/video cable > stereo
    Thank for your help.
    P.S. The products are all original, they're these:
    http://www.memorypuntoit.com/public/prodotti/982010171817a.jpg

    Have you downloaded the Remote App? Wouldn't it be better for your iPhone's battery life to just let iTunes play the music over AirTunes? I'm kind of confused as to what you're trying to do.

  • Tethering STILL doesn't work with the 5D3

    I just upgraded to LR 4.2...
    It DOES see the camera, the camera settings and even triggers the camera. However, the image files are nowhere to be found. Sigh.

    Allow me to update...
    It is finicky.
    After 3 separate tests:
    The first time, after firing the camera 3 times from both LR and from the Camera and NOT seeing them show up in LR, I went to the folder that I told LR to put the files, it had created a sub folder with the name of the tethering session. That folder was empty. I did a search for the file names of my test shots. No files were found.
    I then left the everything on and returned 5 minutes later. The camera had gone to sleep. LR Tethering said "Auto" (I'm in Manual--it should say 1/800, f2.8, etc.). I woke the camera up, LR Tethering still said Auto, saw the camera, but the camera now said "Busy" when pushing the shutter release (this is the same behavior that we saw with the LR4.2RC).
    Then in Settings, I changed the location of the file destination (to the desktop where I could get to them more quickly). No change to camera firing. I turned off the camera and turned it back on. LR saw the camera, got the settings correct, but still wouldn't fire the camera from LR.
    I then turned off and back on the Tethering in LR.
    Suddenly it has all worked and no problems. The fact that it had problems getting going makes me nervous for using it in production. We'll see.

  • Mac: Full screen on dual monitors still doesn't work with Flash 10.2 upgrade

    Recently upgraded to Flash 10.2 specifically for the ability to work on a second monitor while watching fullscreen video on the first.  It's still not working at all.  The second I click on anything on the second screen, the video jumps back from full screen.  I checked to make sure that these sites work properly with dual monitors on a Windows machine.  Any tips to get this working?  Without this feature, certain websites are completely useless.
    Running: MAC 10,2,152,33 on OSX 10.6.6

    Hi, I think you are right about it being in this latest FP update. The "More like This" feature on the right hand side of the threads is not working. I think I have some info on Full Screen, but not the dual monitor issue. I'll check to be sure.
    I'll try to find some info on it. There were so many changes that came out with this last update.
    Will get back to you when I find the info.
    Thanks,

  • SQLDeveloper 2.1.62 *still* doesn't work with 64-bit JDK.

    I'm running on Windows XP 64-bit, if I try to make SQLDeveloper use a 64-bit JDK it fails.
    I get this in the console:
    WARNING: Cannot find default VM "client" at D:\progs\Java\jdk1.6.0_16
             using server instead.
    Error: Error loading: D:\progs\Java\jdk1.6.0_16\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll

    Hi Jim,
    Thats right. The exe doesn't support 64bit JDK on Windows yet. It works on other platforms but not Windows. The launcher has to be rebuilt with a 64bit compiler. We're hoping to get this done by production.

  • Play count still doesn't work with 3.1.3. APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS!

    APPLE! PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM!
    I am getting tired of having to try an remember what episode of my shows I was on! I'm an avid anime watcher who queues up whole series' on my iPod Touch 3g 32GB and go to watch 12 episodes or so, connect the iPod, disconnect, go back to series, pow! they all report they are unwatched! Btw, I use Manually Manage Music settings, not auto sync.
    Same thing with my music. I know I have listened to one song at least 40 times, and still the play count is at 2. Because iTunes remembers to count it but can't remember to count the iPod's count when it counts.
    This is probably a REALLY EASY FIX, you guys are just so lazy to not fix this problem and say that Apple products have the best customer support?! If you want to boast that please fix the simple problems! I have a 70 episode series I'm starting soon and I don't want to have to right down where I left off.

    From reading posts on this site I can see that I'm not alone. It seems to be common to Toyotas. Can I assume that since Siri is in its beta version can I assume this kink will be worked out?
