IPhone and Good Reader problem

My iPhone worked great, then I installed Good Reader which tried to open everything. I deleted Good Reader but now I have Dropbox trying to open video files, and I cannot find out how to disassociate certain file types from certain applications. Grateful for any help

I was on the phone with a tech all afternoon Monday and he could not resolve this problem. He said he was off Tuesday but would call me back today after further research. It's almost midnight and not a peep.
Late Monday, I did get my iphone to sync -- once -- after reading some of the discussions threads for ical syncing problems. I reset the isync history and deleted a couple of files and entourage finally synced through to the iphone. Today, however, my entourage updates failed to sync. Worse yet, some appt. that had been in iphone disappeared with today's attempt. Resetting and deleting files today did not work. Darn. My ical calendar is not syncing with entourage correctly so how can I expect it to get through to the iphone?
I have the sense that our sycing problems go beyond iphone and reside in Apple's isync or ical or both SW. I add my malaise to the list in hopes of seeing a solution posted soon.

MacBook pro, snow leopard, iPhone and Bluetooth PAN problems

Short Version:
I am having connectivity issues connecting my new MacBook Pro (MBP) to the Internet thru a Bluetooth PAN on my iPhone4. This has been working fine for a few days and then today it just stopped working responding that my iphone connection is not available, it's off, too far away or whatever. This is not the case. When I try to connect the iPhone to the MBP the iPhone is saying my MBP is not supported. I can pair the devices, but as soon as I try to connect to the Internet thru the iPhone via the MBP the connection fails.
Long Version:
I received a shiny new MacBook Pro only a few days ago and I am having Bluetooth Paired networking issues as of today, 2nd, March, 2011. The MacBook Pro is running Snow Leopard 10.6.4, and is brand spanking new, unmodified, factory defaults.
The iPhone(s) I am using are iPhone 4's with iOS 4.1
On the first day I paired the MBP with both iPhones with ease, it was so easy my grandparents could have done it. So point and click and it just worked....
The iPhones are set up in iTunes with names similar to dave1 and dave2
On the MBP I can select which device I want to connect to the Internet by going to the Bluetooth icon and connecting to whichever iPhone I have handy at the time. Since the plans are limited connectivity, I do load share between the two.
Today, for no apparent reason, I have been unable to connect to my wife's phone just getting a basic "The Bluetooth network is unavailable" message telling me the iphone is out of range, not on, etc etc etc. Not true.
No problem, I just connected to my phone instead. Occasionally I tried her phone again, but it just never worked. I eventually got her to reboot it, still no joy.
Then, a couple of hours ago, while in the middle of reading my rss feeds, my Bluetooth connection dropped out. My phone is sitting right next to the MBP. So that's not the issue. No amount of reboots of either the MBP or the iPhone have fixed this. I have unpaired and repaired the devices (on both phones) countless times. I have removed the sim card and rebooted, I have disabled and reenabled Bluetooth on both, rebooting before doing this, and after and during, I have reset network settings. Nothing I try is working here.
Pairing alone is an event, but here's an example of what's happening:
I go thru the motions, the MBP shows me a number (eg, 451234) and the number is displayed on the iPhone. They see each other. The numbers are the same. Good. I click PAIR on the iPhone and MBP and everything appears good. But then if I go to connect to the iphone on the MBP I get the out of range error.
I have made both discoverable, and tried to connect to the MBP from the iphone, and got a different error message altogether: Connection Unsuccessful - "{insert my name}'s MacBook Pro" is not supported. W-T-F? It was an hour ago? What has changed?
Then, the only option on the iPhone is to "Forget Device". ok, forget it, and start again. Same same.
Neither the iPhones nor the MBP have been upgraded or changed in anyway today, or even recently. In fact, as mentioned earlier, I was actively using the connection without any issues for a number of hours when it just stopped for no apparent reason.
Not that these matter, but I am in Thailand (live here for the time being), I'm on the TrueMove network, which offers 3G coverage in my area (Patong Beach).
This could easily have been filed under MacBook Pro, iPhone, OSX and possibly many other discussion headings, because the issue can be any or all of the OS, the MacBook Pro Bluetooth adapter, the iPhone Bluetooth, (iOS for that matter), or some other unforeseen conditions...
My head is sore from pulling my hair out. I am open to any suggestions (reasonable or otherwise!)
For further info (not that this post is long enough already, or anything, but), I thought it was interesting that the phones didn't fail at the same time, so I pulled out an old iPhone 3GS and set it up, but after pairing, the two can still not connect.
I know its not an issue with the data plan on the iPhone since I'm here surfing now without an issue, so it's not a data problem.
Open to ideas....
If you've read this far and you're ever in Phuket, give me a call... I'll shout you a beer

Ok, now I do wish I could edit....
I forgot to APPLY the network settings for the USB cable to work. Connected thru USB I can tether.
So, I kept playing, and playing some more...
I had previously unpaired everything, and gone as far as removing network devices HOWEVER...
I didn't remove the Ethernet, Firewire or Airport Network devices.
Now, I have done so. I REMOVED EVERYTHING
No pairing, no network devices.
Bluetooth was already turned off, and I rebooted.
I turned off tethering and rebooted the iphone.
I turned on bluetooth (on the MBP), I turned on tethering. I browsed for the iphone. It said I was already paired???? Ok, repair AGAIN, and THE IPHONE SHOWED MY BLUETOOTH TETHERING BLUE BAR at the top of the screen!
I opened a web page, no go... d4mn, I was close...
Opened network preferences and the created a new bluetooth PAN and voila! Internet back on the MBP. I am about to reinstall the ethernet and airport (I can live without firewire for now) and see what happens.
Basically, the link I posted two posts ago, I had already done that, but I NEEDED to remove ethernet, firewire and airport as well...
So MAYBE it's fixed, we'll see for how long. I'm not going to mark this as answered for now, because basically, it has failed for no reason, and I want to know why...
Hopefully someone can come up with something, but having to delete and reinstall all pairings and network devices (to me) is not really a solution, it's a workaround (at best).

Iphone and Windows Vista problem

Okay, so I have windows vista and the iphone seems to be having a hard time with that.
When I plug my Iphone into my computer it recognizes the apple device and asks if I want to import picture. In itunes it shows the button that the Iphone is plugged in and synced, however, when I press that button nothing happens. I can't add any photos to it because everytime I try there is some kind of error. What can I do?

Same exact problem!
Upon returning home after picking up the long awaited iPhone 2, I discovered that my iTunes and/or Windows Vista would not detect the iPhone, and I’ve been searching the Internet for a solution since (going on day two now). Apparently, Vista and the latest iTunes have had this problem quite a lot.
It’s really a shame, as I think Apple is missing a singular opportunity to use the iPhone as a transition drug to more Apple products. I for one have been looking for a reason to dump my Dell and pick up a MacBook Pro, and the iPhone seemed to be it.
However, if I get caught in the middle of a ******* match between Apple and Microsoft, well, they both lose.
When you spend this kind of money, it is imperative that the thing works out-of-the-box. I will never purchase a Dell again for just this reason. Now, if I purchase a Lada, well, I'm expecting to put in some hours and blood to get the thing air born, but an Apple product? No way.
Please help me become an Apple customer.

Wifi with iphone and touch- safari problems- internet sharing solved.

This has probably been mentioned before but if you are one of the poor sods like me who spent hours trying to figure out why your iphone or ipod touch would connect to your wifi (via mac internet sharing) but safari would never find web pages then here is the solution.....
buy leopard.
i spent countless hours reading forums, messing with settings on mac and iphone and the best it would ever work for would be about 5 seconds then stop, it drove me insane. for the life of me i had no idea why my iphone would not work properly with my mac mini.
'when you tried to share your internet connection via airport iphone would find it but safari wouldnt work'.
so, i bought leopard the other day (upgraded from tiger) and it worked perfect 1st time and still does, no issues at all.
i know this has probably been mentioned but i wanted to save some time and tears for those who have not yet found the solution, but unfortunatly its spending £85.
cheers

Could be a GMail setting, but my GMail works just fine. You might try removing your GMail account again and re-add it as an Exchange Account rather than using the standard GMail profile:

This has the advantage of keeping your Google contacts and calenders in sync with your iPhone, but it may also get around whatever GMail problem you're having.

Iphone and Navman Connectivity Problem

maybe not the right forum but here goes....
i just bought a new "Navman" My350 portable navigation device and it has a pairing option via blue tooth which works well with my iPhone 4s
it also has a google function but this wont recognise my iphone...
any ideas?

Find My iPhone and incorrect time problem

I just tried out the Find My iPhone feature on iCloud (Mac Mini) and played a sound on my iPhone just to see if it worked, which it did. My query is I immediately got an email from Apple to say a sound was played on my iPhone but the time was totally incorrect. I played the sound at 1830 hours but the email said it was played at 1030 hours (8 hours earlier).
The time on my iPhone and Mac Mini are both correct. How do I make the Find My iPhone display the correct time?
Thank you.

That's about right, 8 hours from California time. Check your preferences for this site

RS232 and PIC16F877A reading problem

Hi, sorry my bad English.
I have pic16f877a and labview 7.0. I try to transfer some information(e.g temperature) to my PIC and view that information on LCD-screen. A communication idea is following:
Traffic if pic starts communication:
1. PIC send int (e.g 123) to labview
2. labview read int(and identify what measurement is equivalent with this int)
3. labview send back string which includes measure value
4. PIC prints this string to LCD-screen
Traffic if labview starts communication:
1. Labview send int to PIC
2. Labview send string to PIC
My problem is that I get wrong values from PIC. If I test algorithm on terminal program that is okay.
For example if PIC try to send 125, I can see in labview 512 or 215.
Does anyone have build good vi which reads characters from rs232? (I have downloaded and test labview's examples) What kind of vi structure is good? One difficult is that pic and labview both can start communication so I have to read characters all the time.

Kheila,
your problem sounds to me as missed synchronisation. As your protocol seems to contain just plain text, so please add a sync char to the end of ALL your messages. Define it as end_of_message in VISA and read complete messages. I'd suggest 0xA (LF) as sync char.
You know, serial comm means, that all bytes are sent out in the order they appear at the send command (here VISA_write). AND they are usually read at the UART level in the very same order. But depending on the actual situation (system load, UART buffer size, system buffer size, but more important: your coding style) VISA may miss one or the other byte. If you have no sync mechanism, than you'll have no chance to regain sync state after you've lost it once. If you have a sync mechanism, you'll lose one or two messages in such a case and regain sync with every new complete message.
Example messages (blank space meant as pause between each message)
123 123 456 122 123
read when byt 3 was missed:
121 234 561 221 23
If instead a sync mecanism is established, you'd get
12- 123 456 122 123

Iphone and iphoto syncing problems

Ive been importing my photos to my mac to clear up some space on my iphone, however every time my photos get moved on my mac, they somehow sync back onto my iphone as an album called "Events - From my mac" & "Last 12 months" which puts every photo i had just imported from my phone, back onto my phone. The problem is, these albums are 'un-deletable.' I initially thought it was my icloud but i turned off all my photo streams and what not so i dont think its that.. can anyone pls help me??! :-(

It could be that it is doing a sync from iTunes. Start iTunes with the phone connected, click on the phone under devices in the left pane of iTunes and then click on Photos in the list across the top and look to see what you have selected to sync. If you want to delete all of the synced albums on the phone, remove the checkmark in front of "Sync Photos From" on that page and sync again; if you want to delete some, change the selection and sync again. Each time you sync via iTunes it sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current settings in iTunes.

My music won't sync with my iPhone (and several other problems)

My music has all disappeared from my iphone - the playlist names are still there, but the playlists are empty. and all my songs are in the library, but they all have the dowload from cloud button by them, but they arent on my actual phone. I'm not sure what the cause is because it could be a few different things... I got a new mac for christmas, so today was the first time I was using my new computer, and I also downloaded the new update on my phone today. After the update, my old apple id showed up, when I changed the email address on that id months ago. I deleted that account after reading some forums on here, and signed in with the current email and password for my apple ID. After that, the music wouldnt go on my phone. Also, it says I dont have room on the cloud, even though I do, and wont back up to icloud. I restored my phone and used my last updated back up (again, using advice from a different forum) to see if that would help, and it did not. Very frustrating because I have spent a LOT of money on music. Help?! Im trying to avoid an hour and 45 min drive to my nearest apple genius bar.

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar.
To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device and follow the instructions. Are yu following those instructions?
Does the iTunes see the iPod? If not:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Iphone and Windows 7 problem

I recently updated the operating system on my desktop from XP to Windows 7. I listened to someone who assured me that you did not have to backup my system before I did the install (my bad).
I downloaded Itunes to my desktop again but it does not recognize my iphone. I don't want to loose all my musics and apps.
Can anyone help me with a fix to this? Please.

You should be maintaining a backup of all the important data on your computer's hard drive including your iTunes library regardless if installing a new Windows version and especially before doing so. Maintaing a backup is important regardless the platform but even more so with Windoze due to constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns.
Check this link for an iPhone not being recognized with Windoze.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495
After you get this resolved, your iPhone will be erased of all iTunes content with the first sync and the same for any photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone if this is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences.
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
First you need to re-authorize your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.

IPhone and email address problem!

Hi, Can someone tell me why when I have changed my email address and password on my iTunes account my iPhone is still using my old email address and I can't cange it on the phone??

HI Ross,
Go to Manage your Apple ID and change the current Apple ID back to the old email address (do not verify it - this is only temporary. Do not change your password)
Once you have changed it to the old ID, use your current password to proceed
Once you have completed what you are trying to do, change your Apple ID back to the new ID
Cheers,

You need her to sign out of your account using the button with sign out written on it.
Then sign in using her account details. If she doesn't have an account, use the create Apple ID link in the set up window.

Having problem with opening good reader

I just purchase keynote and good reader apps yesterday and having problems opening them. I've reinstall them few times then they worked for once or twice and now it doesn't work at all. Please provide me with some help.

Have you tried the basic troubleshooting steps, restart, reset, quit the apps and restart?
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
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.
In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
