IPhone 4S no longer integrates through USB with my 2008 Cadi CTS after iOS 7

Before my installation of iOS7, my iPhone 4S with iOS6 connected perfectly to my 2008 Cadillac CTS. After the "upgrade", now my car cannot recognize my USB device (my phone) and I can't play my music, Pandora, etc., not to mention I can't even use my steering wheel controls for my ipod. So, what am I do do in order to get this functionality back? How can this be fixed?

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.

Fixed it. It is on Chevrolet's end. Press config to access the configuration settings. Turn menu/tune knob to highlight vehicle settings. Press menu/tune to select the vehicle settings menu. Choose return to factory settings.

IPhone 4S no longer plays through USB when connected to Ford Mondeo Bluetooth Hands Free System on iOS 5.1 and 5.1.1

Not quite the same problem but my speaker dock no longer charges iPad1 and iPhone4 since upgrading to iOS5.1 but was playing and charging only the day before, extremely annoying as I have only had the dock about 3 weeks now.
I haven't tried my iPad3 yet, but will assume that it will do the same

My iPhone 3GS no longer connects through Bluetooth to my MacBook Air, nor my BMW X3. Is this fixable?

My iPhone 3GS no longer connects through Bluetooth to my MacBook Air nor my BMW X3. I've made no recent adjustments, it's just stopped functioning. Any ideas? Can this be fixed, or is my iPhone on the way out?

Problem solved!! I finally managed to pair the SE HCB-100 car kit speakerphone with the 3GS. I surfed the SE web site and it mentioned resetting the speakerphone. Tried it on 'one color ID' but it didn't work so I did it on all 'color IDs' and left it on reset mode when it 'accidentally' was picked up by my 3GS while searching!!! Found 'headset' and then recognised it as HCB-100. One happy guy for the holidays!!!

APPLE DOCKING STATION NO LONGER WORKS WITH TOUCH 3G and 4G after ios 4.2.1

APPLE DOCKING STATION NO LONGER WORKS WITH TOUCH 3G and 4G after ios 4.2.1 update.
I have both of these touches. I updated both 3g and 4g to ios 4.2.1 and poof...no docking station support other than charging, no audio and no remote function. My av/cable works with the tv, and the headphone jack still outputs audio, just no auido through the Apple dock and hte remote is dead. I purchased the dock from the apple store last year and it was working with both ipod 3g and 4g grrrrr...
Is Apple now in the bug trade business?, trade one for another....
Anyone else have this problem?

My iPod Touch 3G running 4.2.1 works fine with the Apple docking station.
Perhaps you have a loose cable somewhere and/or a dead battery in your controller?

HT4623 I am having trouble with my iPod 5th gen after iOS update. It's in recovery mode and iTunes keeps timing out when I try to restore it. What should I do???

I am having trouble with my iPod 5th gen after iOS update. It's in recovery mode and iTunes keeps timing out when I try to restore it. What should I do??? If possible, I would also like to keep all of my data.

Maybe this will help:
Troubleshooting
As with all clickwheel iPods, you can reset this iPod by first toggling the hold switch on and off and then simultaneously pressing the select (center) and menu buttons for approximately 5-10 seconds. This is a common fix should your iPod behave unexpectedly or lock up. Once reset, the iPod should display an Apple logo for a few seconds before showing the main menu. This procedure is similar to rebooting a computer and damages none of your music or data.

Internet Audio will no longer Play Through USB Output to hi-fi Amplifier & Speakers

My audio output jack on my Mac G4 is broken. I have been taking audio out of the computer by USB into a device that converts the audio so it can be used with a traditional amplifier and speakers. This presently, still works fine for audio or audio/video sources that are stored on my hard drive. Yesterday, I was looking at a youtube video embedded on a non-youtube site. Both audio and video were working fine.Then the audio stopped working. I went to the youtube site and no audio worked there either. I have tried myspace and other sources with audio/video, but no longer will audio from the internet, play on the USB system. Any player on the hard drive will produce audio through the USB port to the amplifier system. If I switch the Mac OS X.4.11 system preferences to select the internal speakers for the output destination, I can get audio from the internet again. Then everything from the internet or the computer plays through the internal speakers. I have Safari and Firefox Browsers. I need to be able to play music from the internet through the USB port to my amplifier and speakers. One suggestion I researched was to trash the Macromedia preferences and then restart the browser. I tried that to no avail. Hopefully, somebody out there knows what happened and can tell me how to fix it.

Hi BD,
Thanks for saving me. And thanks for responding so quickly. Your answer was there when I got up. For me 48 hours was a long time to go without that function.
I had seen one reference to the audio midi setup app and had looked at it but somehow only saw the midi devices dialog box which I had dealt with in the past. After your post I went back to it and I immediately discovered that there is also an audio devices dialog box.
From the drop-down menu I selected 44100.0 hz int the format field on the output (right) side of the dialog box.
Also the Default Ouput and the System Output fields had built-in audio selected instead of iMic USB audio system. I used the drop-down menus to switch them back.
So watching the youtube video imbedded on a non-youtube site must have changed those settings.
Any idea why that would have happened?
Now, I'm wondering if the little iMic USB audio system which converts the digital signal to analog line level out is actually a little midi device? Well, maybe not since there is no midi plug involved. I have seen that setting (44.0 Khz) relating to CDs I think. I'm guessing that 44.0 Khz and 44100.0 hz are very close to being exactly the same thing.
So does 44.0 Khz = line level (analog audio)?
Anyway, BD, Thanks again for solving my problem and doing it so quickly. What a relief!
Have a great 4th of July holiday weekend,

HT4060 My I pad 2 is not charging throuh USB Power Adapter but it is chrging from computer through USB (with sign of no charging). Would you please give any solution for that?

I have facing problem of charging my I pad through USB power adapter. It is not giving any response when connected to power adapter. When it is connected with USB port of computer it is charging with sign of "not charging" and it takes long time to cahrge. please help me to sove my problem.

I have no idea why the iPad would not be charging with another power adapter but will charge thought the USB port on your computer. Try rebooting the iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up
If that doesn't help, I think that the next thing that I would try would be to reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. If you do this, all device settings will have to be re-entered and tha does take some time to do.

Problems with sound from external speakers after iOS 5.0.1 update

Have others experienced problems with external speakers on the Iphone 4 after iOS 5.0.1 update? My phone no longer rings, sounds when i receive a text message, sounds alarm, etc. Vibrate works fine and when i plug in headphones I can hear music through the headphones. Any fixes for this?

Hi Guys,
I have post eariler on another forum and I have the same problem, I have tried all the things listed here and nothing was perminant in fixing this painful iphone hating problem.... and failed. You probably have the problem when you use youtube or your music external speaker that there is no volume bar and no sound.   I have had the same problem But I need to happily say that I now have the fix!!!! This worked for me and I fixed it by myself so you don't need to go to apple or service centre or anything.
Ok I like so many of you here truly believed this was as IO5 issue as it only dropped the sound on the speakers once that IO5 update came along. I tried a bunch of reset, reboots, home clicks, lock and unlocks, to fix this and all failed. some worked for an hour but then failed. hours of my life that I will never get back.   but since I have learnt this is not a IO5 problem but a hardware issue! ... and in paticualar is has to do with your bottom connection. Your phone is thinking it is docked all the time.
To fix the no sound problem what you need is...
1. a torch
2. a tooth brush
3. methalated spirits
4. a butter knife
Step 1.
get your torch and shine it down the bottom connection plate to see what kind of dust, sand, hair or anything you have stuck in there.   all that need to be removed! everything! it might look clean but still thats ok go to step 2.
step 2.
Turn on your music app and put the speakers on! If your phone is like mine it should not work. you most probably don't even have the volume display to turn it on but its ok, just do it! and it should still play with no sound.   its important you try and run the speakers as this will show you that it is a hardware problem.
step 3.
Dip your tooth brush into some methated sprits.   then at your sink tap the exess metho out of your brush as you just want the brushes to be slightly damp, not soaking wet and then scrub the bottom connetiors on your iphone. work the brush back and forward in a way that scoops the dirt out of the phone, not just pushing it side to side.
(As you bushing you should notice the volume bar come back on or off as you scub.   This happened to me and that is how I realised I was on the right track to fixing this problem as I was doing something external that was actually controling when the volume display came on or off.   but once I cleaned it this still didn't fix the problem...)
Step 4.
Use the back side of a butter knife (not the sharp side) to gently slide over the connectors on the iphone. Do this gently as you are only pushing down on the tiny metal contect bars and you should notice the volume display come on again. slide it back and forward. Now the area of interest is about 2/3 along the connection plate to the right.   This is the area that has the infomation sent when your iphone thinks its docked.
This has worked for me and I have not had a problem since I did this 2 weeks ago.   I have since learnt that the new IOS 5 has activated a different part of the bottom conectors. if you have been using dodgy connectors or unapproved apple cables (as I was) any damage or hair and dirt on the terminal this is effecting it. Try it.   just remember if you can do something external to your phone then there lies the problem.
Hope this works for your phone as it did for mine.
Cheers

ITunes logo and usb cord showing on iPad 2 after iOS 8.02 update

I updated my iPad 2 last night with ios8.02. Immediately after the update, my iPad was frozen with the iTunes logo and power cord. When I conned to iTunes, the error message says my iPad is set to recovery mode and when selecting the option to restore, the message "Are you sure you want to restore the iPad “iPad” to its factory settings? All of your media and other data will be erased, and the newest version of the iPad software will be installed" appears.
Well, I obviously do not want to lose the last photos of my mother who passed away on July 1st, not to mention the countless things included in the full 64 GB hard drive, so I called Apple support. Their advice was to restore and hope iCloud backup has the data.
I'm on hold right now waiting for a "Senior Advisor" to provide a solution. I have been on hold for 49 min 58 seconds.
Does anyone have a fixe to this un-vetted upgrade release gaff? Whoever authorized this release needs to leave Apple and apply for a job selling popcorn with the LA Clippers.

Hi,
I had the same problem for the past 24 hours.
I found the below advice resolved my problem completely.
Basically, rebooted mbp, restored iPad from previous back up = iPad 3 back to normal.
Phew...that was a tad frightening !
Hope it helps you....
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod
Kind regards,

IPhone 4s no longer able to sync with iTunes

My iPhone 4s seems to be going through the motions of synchronising and I haven't had any synch issues prior to now but I can no longer transfer files to the phone. iTunes is showing my phone and contents in the sidebar but every time I try to synch a digital movie download (from Paramount and specifically downloaded for iTunes to and to play on all Apple devices) and a music track ripped from one of my cd's I receive a notification with either 'iPhone locked' or 'not recognised.' I have tried sending the files both via iTunes and My Document files and also synchronising from the phone itself. I have also un-authorised and re-authorised my laptop but am now at a loss as what else to try I have tried searching the communities but have been unsuccessful so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

I also had this issue since updating to iTunes 12. My phone was not showing up in "devices" at all, yet it was syncing to iPhoto just fine. What ended up fixing the issue for me was turning both my phone and computer off and back on again, and unplugging any other USB devices so that only my phone was the one connected. It then synced just fine.
FYI, I am running iOS 7.1.2 on an iPhone 5

My iPhone 4 no longer syncs my calendars with Outlook...?

Hi. I've always synced my Outlook with my iPhone and haven't had any issues. Now, I've noticed that my Oulook Calendar doesn't have the same appointments my iPhone does. For example, I have many appointments this month on my iPhone, but they don't appear on my Outlook Calendar when I sync. However, strangly enough, if I add an appointment to my phone or to my Outlook Calendar, now, and sync, it will copy over. But the ones that are there in my phone now are not in Outlook.
The only thing I think I've changed is upgrading to iOS5 and I have been syncing wirelessly, but my other PIM info seems to be syncing.
Any suggestions?

Your cynicism is spot-on. I have tried everything that you tried and more. My contacts and notes do not sync either, in addition to my calendar. But, music, photos and apps do sync. After spending over two hours with Microsoft I am convinced this is a bug in the iTunes sync software, but Apple does not seem to understand that if they create syncing software that is supposed to connect between two different devices, that they either need to own the handshake or be able to say why the sync can't make the handshake. They just keep saying, "It's an Outlook problem." Agree with you about Androids and Blackberrys (although I so loved my Blackberry, I am still heartbroken to have had to give it up). I believe that the only solution is now going to be some form of cloud sync - either to use the iCloud Control Panel for Outlook sync, or to create a Google calendar and sync through their cloud, or to get on MS Exchange through MS Office 365. Or hope that iTunes decides to acknowledge the problem and release a bugfix in iTunes. I also heard that they will not support Office 2010 iTunes syncing at all. I doubt this because I know people who are doing it. Anyway, sorry for long post, appreciate the help.

Guest Ipod touches and husband's iphone can no longer connect to internet with airport. But Ipad2 works and so does hard wire computer. where is the problem and how do we remedy

WiFi connections no longer working on Iphone and guest's Ipod Touches. How do we remedy this problem. The Ipad2 and hardwired computer are working with no problem

I had the same problem -- only iphones couldn't access wifi all of a sudden. I solved it this morning by uploading a previous firmware version to my Time Capsule. The solution was offered in a different discussion in the iphone section, which I found at https://discussions.apple.com/message/15180888#15180888 :
Eureka thats the problem
The iOS 4.3.2 and 4.3.3 for iphone is not compatible with the firmware 7.5.2 for apple airport extreme and time capsule. If the WiFi router is an apple airport with firmware 7.5.2 an iphone with the updated firmware will not be able to detect and connect to the WiFi network.
Solution The iphone firmware can not be downgraded, the airport firmware has to be downgraded
1) Make sure that the settings of your Airport Extreme are in mixed a/b/n mode
2) Open Airport Utility
3) Select Upload Firmware from the BaseStation menu
4) If you current version is 7.5.2, click Upload Firmware
5) Select 7.5.1 from the pop up menu
6) Restore Firmware
Now the WiFi network is detected and connected perfectly as before upgrading the iphone to 4.3.3.

IPhone 4s no longer streams via USB in 2010 Honda

Previously with my iphone 4, I could connect to the USB port in my 2010 Honda Civic and also to the Auxiliary jack via a retractable auxiliary cable. The phone was positioned at dash height and I could stream music over the 6 car speaksers from Pandora, AOL radio, Public Radio apps, and others while at the same time running the GPS program. The music would dim whent the GSP would make an announcement or when I received an incoming call and life was good.
Yesterday I noticed with my new iphone 4S, that when I plugged into the USB jack and auxiliary jacks, these audio apps would NOT stream. The music would play for a second or so and then stop. iTunes radio worked fine, but with the other apps - nothing. I stopped the GSP app, I rebooted the phone, I checked the connections - all without success. Then, only when I got home, and I unplugged the 4s from the USB jack, did the music stream again.
I'm wondering if this has something to do with the USB wiring in the Honda (where hitting the aux. button switches between playing and displaying the ipod music and the auxiliary jack)? I'm considering buying a USB charger via the cigarette lighter to charge the telephone instead of using the built in charger. At home all the apps stream fine when connected to the computer's USB or the USB charger. Are there any other solutions or suggestions to be able to stream music via the built in USB charger? I don't know what is at fault - the 4S, iOS 5.01 or the Honda USB cable connection? Thank you.

maybe try cleaning out the port at the bottom of your iphone by blowing it out with compressed air or maybe by using a soft brush. or maybe gently with a toothpick. but nothing metal. perhaps there's dirt or dust in there that's preventing a connection. similarly make sure the connectors on your docks and cables are clean.

Since downloading IOS 7.0.4 my iPhone will no longer sync using USB cable because of "Error -50"?????

Why, after installing IOS 7.0.4 will my iPhone only sync with my MacBook Pro using wi-fi and NOT when using the USB cable? An error message appears citing "Error -50" for which I can find no recent fix online as all the problems are related to some years ago?

Thanks, Lawrence. I figured that was what I was going to have to do in the end. I have a few games with quite a few hours invested, and I worry that I'll lose the progress I have as they do not save to the cloud. I may have to bite the bullet, and just take the plunge to resolve this. I just want a way to easily transfer my "Home Computer" for my iPhone. My laptop is years old and in need of being replaced, and it's about time to upgrade my phone. These life events piling up are making me consider switching to a friendlier OS. I'm not using this as a threat. I just hope some apple high up will read this, and realize that we need alternatives. Life happens.
Thank you both Paul and Lawrence. I clicked "This helped me" not knowing it would remove the option to choose "This fixed my problem" too. For anyone else reading this thread. Using the guide provided has done both. It has helped me and given me a fix to my current problem. Lawrence has also provided me with the last bit of information I feel is missing from wjosten's guide. That syncing will completely erase all of your data and reinstall it in one fell swoop. It's a great fix. Even if it isn't the exact one I wanted. Thank you again!
