IPhone 4s will not play through AUX port in car after iOS 6 upgrade

I have a friend who can no longer play music from her iphone through the Auxiliary port in her car. She had been able to do this before the iOS 6 upgrade. In fact, when I checked using a portable speaker, the music did not play.
I researched this and found lots of cases, but no solution. I was surprised to find that there were some users who had experienced no problem.
Is there any wisdom out there on this curious issue. Unfortunately, I do not have the iPhone available for immediate testing of any suggestions. I can relay information to my friend.
TIF

does it play out of headsets?
maybe the detector is stuck so they don't detect anything connected
this is not uncommon and the fact that it happened around the time of an ios update
can be a much pure chance as it happening while a black cat crossed the street

    Slight water damage on electronic equipment is like being slightly pregnant
    It either is or it isn't and your iPhone is water damaged
    Since you that turned it on prior to drying it the damage is done now
    Take to Apple and pay for a replacement

  • Iphone 5 will not connect to home wifi or Bluetooth after iOS 7.1.1 update! Using unnecessary data please help!

    My iphone 5 will not connect to my home wifi or Bluetooth after I completed the iOS 7.1.1 update. Before the update I was able to connect to my home network with no issues. Now it rarely finds my home network (unless I'm right in front of the router and even still the signal is weak) and when it does find my home wifi network it frequently disconnects from it. I followed previous suggestions to turn off router or forget network settings and re-establish them but it continues to happen.
    This also happening with my Bluetooth connection. My iphone 5 would automatically connect to my home phone Bluetooth prior to the iOS 7.1.1 update. But now my device no longer connects, which means my home phone no longer rings when my cell phone is ringing.
    I probably would be less worries if I did not have to monitor my data usage with Verizon. However, I do have a limited amount of data to use and I recently reached the max and had to pay extra money due to my wifi being unable to connect. Can anyone please help me with fixing this?

    If you have Applecare take it back to the shop and demand a replacement.  If not you're stuffed.  It's a bug that they've put in the software to get you to buy another iphone.  You can maybe warm it up with an hairdryer near the speaker and then turn it off and put it in the freezer for 10 mins then retstart it and wi-fi is there.  It could also be a problem with the chip, if you do the freezer thing it comes back.
    Apple knows its a problem as there are millions of people out there that it is happening to, in my opinion get shut and get a Samsung!!!!    That's what i've done and love my new Samsung S3 Mini miles better than the iphone!!!!
    Go on youtube atnd look how many millions of people this has happened to.
    Someone needs to put this in the media so they will actually do something the robbing bleeders!!!!!
    Also whatever you put on these discussions will get it wiped if Apple don't like what you put!!!!

  • My iphone 5 will non find wifi networks away from home after ios upgrade

    ios 7.0.2 does not find wifi networks away from my home network

    the most popular "solution" is to overheat your iphone for about 10 minutes and then to cool it in the fridge however, i heard that this harms your phone as well

  • Hi, my brand new iphone 4 will not play music through my music app but it will play videos through youtube and will play the sounds throught my games and will play text tones and facetime ect. what is wrong?

    hi, my brand new iphone 4 will not play music through my music app but it will play videos through youtube and will play the sounds throught my games and will play text tones and facetime ect. what is wrong?

    At least I'm not the only one with the issue. I was looking it up so see if others had the same problem and found a bunch of posts about it. I'm assuming it's not the phone then, it's the software. Should I bring it to the Apple Store? Replacing the phone seems stupid, because the phone isn't really the problem. It's the software! Maybe the iOS 5.0.2 will fix it???  I don't really want to wait though, it's a pain. If a lot of people have this issue it should get Apple's attention. They need to do something to fix it, ASAP!

  • My iPhone 4S will not play music out loud. I can't turn sound up or down, it doesn't even give me the option.  I think that it thinks its docked, I've tried to blow air in it, I've tried compressed air with no luck.

    Clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. See if fixed. If not, and if there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, clean again, very well with toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol.

  • MP3 Player will not play through Mic Jack - NB 550D

    Hi
    MP3 Player will not play through Mic Jack. Is this because I have not setup Realtek Audio Manager correctly?.
    Also is there any way to play the MP3 through a USB Port
    Thx

    Hi
    What notebook do you have?
    The mic jack records the audio signal. But I assume you want to use the mic jack an line-in. Right?
    Usually you have to set the default device in recording tab.
    In control panel -> sound -> recording tab.
    If you will not see any further devices but only mic jack then you should click right and should enable the options; show hidden devices and show disabled devices.
    Possibly then you could enable line in.
    Otherwise such option is not available and not possible

  • I can listen to ITunes on my ipad on a headset but they will not play through the speaker

    I can play I tunes on my iPad and listen on a headset but the iPad will not play through the built in speaker

    Try this  - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

  • My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked.  It only plays through it's internal speaker.  All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc).  How do I fix this?

    I would try in oreder:
    - Resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

    Hi there Graham!
    I have a couple of articles that can help you troubleshoot this issue. First, if you are downloading HD content, you will need to know the system requirements for HD playback, which can be found here:
    iTunes: Purchasing and viewing HD videos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3209
    Next, you will want to check your video playback settings on your Windows machine. The steps for that can be found right here:
    Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues

    Hope that helps. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

  • I have a album purchased on itunes downloaded to my iphone that will not play back, what can I do?

    I have a album that was purchased from itunes downloaded on my iphone that will not play back, any suggestions?

    You can replace the back glass or get a case.  There are many iPhone repair centers... Google for one.  You can also try the Apple store... I've heard they will replace the back for about $30.

  • My iPhone 4s will not connect to any Bluetooth including car its turned on but cannot find anything

    My iPhone 4s will not connect to anybluetooth tooth including car .its on and renamed ??

    Apple devices cannot connect to all bluetooth enabled headsets.
    You may need to buy a headset that specifically details that it is compatible with Apple products.  For example the headset I use for my PS3 is not compatible with my iPhone.
