IPhone 4s No Longer connects to Car Bluetooth after iOS 7.1 Update

My iPhone 4s has been paired to our 2006 Acura TL hands free link (Bluetooth) and working flawlessly for more than a year. After the iOS 7.1 update installed on my iPhone the connection has been lost and the car's Bluetooth does not recognize, and will not pair with my iPhone anymore! I noticed there were two back-to-back updates for iOS7. The first one caused intermittent interruptions and lost connections with the iPhone. The second update completely destroyed the connection between the car bluetooth and the iPhone. Any ideas on how to correct this problem would certainly be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello algee1,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with pairing your iPhone with your Acura.
In my experience, when updates are released for iOS devices, compatible devices release an update to maintain compatibility. Step 2 from the article below recommends checking with the manufacturer of your car stereo to see if there is a firmware update available for your car stereo:
2. Update software and firmware if necessary
Verify that both your car stereo and your device have the latest software versions. Contact the manufacturer to see if any updates are available. If your device does not have the latest version of the iOS, update to the latest software version.
I recommend reviewing the full article here for additional troubleshooting steps:
iOS: Troubleshooting car stereo connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581
I also recommend these steps if the issue persists after following all the steps in the previous article:
Unable to find nearby Bluetooth accessories
If a pairing record already exists, the device does not appear as discoverable. Try to connect the device using that pairing record.
If you are unable to connect using the existing pairing record, delete the record and pair again.
Ensure that the firmware or software on the Bluetooth accessory is up to date.
Ensure that the Bluetooth accessory is charged or connected to power.
Verify that the Bluetooth accessory is using a profile that works with the iOS device.
Turn off both the iOS device and the Bluetooth accessory, then turn both devices on again.
If the issue persists, test Bluetooth with another device or consult the manufacturer's documentation.

Iphone (5c) no longer connects iTunes to bluetooth since recent Apple iphone update

iphone (5c) no longer connects iTunes through bluetooth since latest update (8.1.2)

Hi Jill4547,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're not able to sync your iPhone to iTunes wirelessly, or Bluetooth connections are not working as expected.
The iPhone syncs wirelessly to iTunes using a Wi-Fi connection. If you haven't been able to sync wirelessly since updating to iOS 8.1.2, you can use the steps in this article to check your sync settings in iTunes:

Iphone 5 no longer connects to my PC after last update OS8.1

Firstly I am not a "tech" expert and really do not understand the whole lingo etc - in fact I find it VERY overwhelming whenever I have an issue that needs to be solved with all the massive volume of technical jargon thrown around and end up being totally lost and frustrated - so if there is anyone who can help that will be just wonderful.
I have an I-phone 5 and a Toshiba PC which runs Windows 7 - easy so far.
I use my phone for a small business (otherwise I wouldn't have one at all) and when I go to do quotes I take photos and then downloaded them to my PC for future reference (I have ALWAYS been able to do this by simply plugging my phone into a free USB port (always use the same one for all devices) and away we go all works great.
HOWEVER, since the last 2 updates my Iphone will no longer connect to my PC. After the first one was botched (the one that was recalled quickly) and OS8.1 (which I know have) - whenever I do this exact same procedure my Iphone does no longer appear.
How do I make it work again - the simple, easy, straightforward way that it used to (I guess that since the Apple thing has now been "improved" and made "better and easier" for me it will be impossible to do?

Hello there philp_69,
If I understand correctly it sounds like your phone hasnt been recognized in iTunes on your PC since the last couple of updates. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article which will walk you through the steps one by one.

Canon camera no longer connects to Macbook Pro after 10.4.7 update

Has anybody gotten word from Apple on this issue yet? My Rebel XT/350D stopped connecting to my MBP after the latest software update. It has stopped working with iPhoto, Image Capture and Capture ONE. If I put the CF card in a USB reader, it is recognized (occasionally) as a removable disk.
What gives?

CZ:
Did you update the system via the Software Update? If so then download the 10.4.7 COMBO updater and run it. There are some files it's reported, that are left off the incremental updater and the combo one will fix some of the problems that causes. Not sure your problem is one of them but it's work a try. Don't forget to repair disk permissions afterward.
Do you Twango?

IPhone 5 no longer connecting to home wifi after adding new iPhone 5s

I just bought my husband a new iPhone 5s and successfully connected it to our home wifi; however, now my iPhone 5 won't connect. All other home devices will connect without an issue. I've tried Reseting the Network Setting on my iPhone and that does not work. It first gives me a message that states it is "unable" to connect to the network, then when I try again, it says the password is incorrect (and it is not). I'ver tried turning my router off and on again as well. Is there a way to just set an IP address maybe?

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

MacBook no longer connects to T.V. after Thunderbolt 1.2 update

I recieved a 13 inch, mid 2012 MacBook Pro for my birthday on Dec. 20th 2013. A few days later I bought a Nexxtech Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adaptor which was working fantastically for a couple weeks when connecting my MacBook to my Insignia TV. After installing the Thunderbolt 1.2 update, my MacBook and TV no longer connect. The screen on my MacBook will flash for a second like it is detecting the TV, but that's it. I get a "no signal" sign on the TV. I've tried everything I could find on the internet. Resetting the PRAM and SMC, detecting through command + F2, turning off "displays have seperate spaces", and all the little rituals some people have to go through to get it to work. Nothing. I've even tried it on my parents LG TV. Nothing. I'm so ****** off. This was a huge reason I got a MacBook. Seeing that this update came out in May 2013 and people have been having the same issue since then, I'm not hopeful that Apple will be fixing this any time soon.

I also can't get the media sync to connect after the update. I can get the mass storage to work with no issue, but media sync is having issues.
Every time I connect with media sync, Windows 7 pops up a message stating that the driver failed to load and to contact Samsung. So I contacted Samsung support, which was completely useless.
I need the media sync to work because that's the only way I've found to get DRM-protected media files to transfer properly to my Charge. If I copy them to my phone while in mass storage mode, I can't play them because there is a licensing error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

IPhone 4S Won't Connect to App Store After iOS 6 Update!

After a long wait for the new iOS update when I enter the "App Store" there is a box that pops up saying that I can't connect to "App Store," that even happens while I'm connected to WIFI... Although I still can connect to "iTunes" music store!

Reset your iPhone. Hold Sleep Key and Home Key together for more than 15 sec. Now try your App Store again.

My rear camera on my iphone 5 no longer works in camera app after ios 7 install

My iphone 5 updated to ios 7 and the new camera app no longer works. Sometimes I can get the front camera to
Show on the app. But the rear camera just shows black. And it won't switch bewtween the two cameras at all
Sometimes. What could this be?

I got the same problem with my iphone 5 rear camera and tried the solutions suggested here but it did not work.
The camera application which came with ios7 is frozen as soon as it opens. I does not take photos or switch between cameras.
I have been able to use the front camera with Snapseed, QR reader . however no application is able to open my rear camera.
I am not sure but it can related with the application updates either ios7 or the camera applications already installed on our iphone. Uninstalling those apps which has access to camera and rebooting may solve the problem. This is just an idea !

Cannot connect to car stereo after 4.3.5 update

After I updated my Iphone4 (4.3.5) I cannot connect to my vehicle stereo.
Is there a fix for this?

I'm guessing your stereo supports A2DP bluetooth audio streaming. If so, what's happening is the phone is routing the audio to the last connected interface. You are plugging it in via the headphone jacke BEFORE the bluetooth connection is complete. When the bluetooth locks in, it starts routing audio out via A2DP instead. WAIT until the bluetooth connection is complete and then plug in the aux cable if that's the way you want to do it.

My iPad 2 will no longer connect to the internet after iOS 6 update

HELP!! My iPad doesny connect tot the internet anymore. I down loaded iOS 6 today (9/19/12) and now it doesnt connect tot the internet anymore.

Hello dchoffa,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I would start with this troubleshooting from the article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
If the above troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, I would next try the troubleshooting in one of the other sections down toward the bottom that fits your scenario.

IPhone 4S is loosing connection "no signal" - "searching" after iOS 5.0.1 update

Before the upgrade My Iphone was well, without problem, but yesterday 11/nov/11 I decided upgrade to ios 5.0.1 and my problems began, just when finished the upgrade my phone didn´t recognize my Sim, so i turbed off an on and the problem dessapered, but then discovered I cant make calls or recive, Everytime I try to make a call its say "Call Fails" and then begin "SERCHING" and restore signal but still cant make calls after 4 or 5 times can make a call, or show "NO SIGNAL" then "SERCHING" and restore signal. I`m very sure is not my sim is not my phone and its not my carrier because i use internet by 3g without a problem but when I try to make a call the problems begin, and there ar a lot of peope arround the world with my problem, I have tried restoring it 10 times "really" to the factory settings in itunes but it still has the same problems. We need ios 5.0.0 back or selve ios 5.0.1 as soon as possible and I trying to say FAST because I pay so much money for a phone who works like an ipod. if the problem persist I sell my iphone and buy another with Android, its awful but if apple dont solve this, my change is sure.

Unfortunately the problem doesn't seem to be related with the SIM but with the mobile network operator used. Today I've found many articles about this problem. I'm Italian and I use the "Wind" network. It seems that some operator, as Wind, don't cooperate directly with Apple so, in these cases, they could have these kinds of problems and they need a few days to solve them. Thanks to the high diffusion of iPhone, I'm trustful this situation will solved soon by the operator, otherwise I reluctantly have to change it (the operator).
