IPhone bluetooth synchro error with 2009 BMW 7

My iPhone does synchronize with the iDrive system of a 2009 BMW 7, but about 10 to 20% of the contacts (always the same ones) are not synchronized. Is this a known issue? Any solutions? Thanks

I have a 2009 with the new iDrive and the 3GS does not transfer contacts over bluetooth and does not charge. Everything worked perfectly before with my old 1st generation iPhone. Anybody know if Apple or BMW are trying to resolve this?

IPhone Bluetooth not sharing with iMac - WHY????

iPhone Bluetooth not sharing with iMac - WHY????
How can this function not be available on iPhone - What an embarrassing disgrace Apple!!
I refuse to conform to iTunes - NO!
Am so over your lack of basic user services Apple - sort your **** out!!!

The simplest answer is that the existing Bluetooth is not suitable for this purpose. With a max speed of 2.1 Mbps (0.5% that of USB), it would be pretty painful to use for this purpose - a backup of a 16GB iPhone would take a whole day. Transfer a movie? It would take an hour.
On top of that, Bluetooth doesn't provide a standard mechanism for the type of data transfer and synching that iPhone needs -- they'd have to write their own propriety one and you'd still have to use proprietary software to do the data transfer / synching.
A better mechanism would be standard Wi-Fi, which would be MUCH faster than Bluetooth and for which the protocols necessary are already in place. It's still comparatively slow to USB (about 10% that of USB), but much faster than Bluetooth. However, it appears that Apple's research has led them to believe that waiting an hour or two for the phone to backup over Wi-Fi using the existing mechanism is still undesirable.
From what they've indicated about iOS5, however, it seems that they will be supporting more over-the-air updating and synching mechanisms, meaning that, for the first time, you can do most everything but backup the phone without iTunes (though document exchange for certain apps is much faster and easier with iTunes, it won't be necessary).

New Iphone OS5 Sync Error With Outlook

Hello everyone,
Below are the errors that I keep recieving when I try to sync my Iphone, with my Outlook 2010. I highlight the Outlook abd click next because, it is the most up to date. I guess my next question is, what can I do to fix it?

Hi,
This way I found the corrupt reoccuring entry:
synch with outlook ran to error - found a post saying that deleting all calendar entries in phone may help
calendar on phone can just delete entries in past - so changed clock to future time and wanted to delete all entries
'system error' or so came when I tried delete all calendar entries
start playing with changing phone clock to various future dates and trying to delete calendar
deleting was only possible when clock on phone was anytime before the end of reoccurance of wrong calendar entry - when all instances of reoccuring entry were 'in past' for the phone, than deletion crashed with error
Don't know if there was attachment - cannot open it, but I do not think so.
Following your suggestion opened backup file with Noki, but most entries are not backed up - out of 328 identified entires only 30 are appearing in Noki list. Could happen that corrupt entry blocks the proper backup as well.
Thanks a lot.

HT1386 iPhone 4S and iPhone 3G Syncing Error with iTunes

I am trying to back up my iPhone 3G so that I can import the new information to my iPhone4S. Every time I try to plug it into my new computer it tells me I need iTunes 64-bit. When I uninstall and reinstall iTunes 64-bit it still doesn't work.
I am trying to use both my new and old computer and am still not able to seem to get it to work. When I plug the iPhone 3G into the old computer I also get an error.
Argh. I also just tried syncing my new iPhone and it reads the same error message about re-installing iTunes 64 bit. I have re-installed at least 5 times already.
Please let me know any advice or suggestions that you may have.
Thanks!

Hi Macafreak,
I'd like to see if unchecking the "Sync Music" box, applying the changes, and then re-checking the box resolves this issue:

IPhone SDK - Linking error with CLLocationManager

Hello.
I have a linking error when I try to use thr CLLocationManager in my iPhone application by using the example of source code given in the Developer Center.
I have the following error : ".objcclass_nameCLLocationManager", referenced from literal-pointer@_OBJC@__clsrefs@CLLocationManager in localisation.o
symbol(s) not found.
Do you have an idea ?
Thank you for your answer.
Patrick Schevenels.

Just for clarification, there's a flood of developers now purchasing Macs to code for the iPhone platform. For those of you new to Xcode, you add a framework by doing the following:
1. Open your iPhone project in XCode
2. In the project window, ctrl+click (or right-click if you have 2-button mouse) on 'Frameworks' folder > Add > Existing Frameworks
3. Navigate to /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS2.0.sdk/System/Li brary/Frameworks/CoreLocation.framework
4. Click 'Add' button
5. Compile
Also, for anyone coming for the ActionScript Java or C# world, I've been blogging on transitioning to iPhone OS development platform.

Does iPhone Bluetooth works when paired with an Android phone?

Hi I wonder if an iPhone bluetooth is compatible with android phone or other devices? I want to send some pictures from my iphone to my laptop but I am not sure if its going to work. Please advice. Thanks.

No.
There are some 3rd party apps that provide for transferring select data via bluetooth with your computer.
This is for security reasons especially with a very insecure Android device.

HT1222 Is anyone having problems with iPhone Bluetooth to BMW s since iOS 6.1

Is anyone having problems with iPhone Bluetooth to BMW s since iOS 6.1?

Yes. I had an iPhone 3G and when upgraded to 6.1 the bluetooth connectivity failed progressively and eventually the phone just wouldn't connect. I broke and reestablished the pairing am few times and each time it would work for a while then disconnect to the extent I thought the bluetooth hardware in the car was failing. I then got an iPhone 5 and the same issue remained. In the last few days I've paired an old Blackberry with the car kit to rule out the BMW hardware. Blackberry is fine so it has to be iOS incompatibility.

IPod Touch 2G with OS 3.0 on 2009 BMW iDrive

All,
Started having lots of problems with my 2G Touch device after updating to 3.0 and trying to connect to 2009 BMW iDrive system. The care is an 09 335xi Coupe with latest iDrive.
Connecting a 3.0 device using the BMW 6FL adapter no longer allows the car to recognize the ipod.
When manually controlling the ipod while connected to the 6FL adapter, you can see "Accessory connected" which immediately disappears and reappears signaling some sort of handshaking problem with the 2G and the car.
Tried to restore 3.0 to default settings, resync and attach to car. No dice.
Ended up having to downgrade to 2.2.1 in DFU mode and everything works again.
BMW does not appear (yet) to have a tech bulletin on this.
Seeing posts of success with 3G iPhone and 3G S IPhones, so much of this could possibly be related to the Touch 2G vs iPhones.
Any thoughts from anyone on here or other things to try?
Ron

Any one have link on how to revert to 2.2.1 firmware on a mac? Also I have appointment with BMW on Wednesday next week so will first wait for that to see if they have fix before reverting. Anyone else heard from or tried to contact BMW service? Also I do have a clear work around that works with my 1st gen touch 32gig. Turn off car. Disconnect pod, turn off pod(hold down top button then slide it to off when it comes up with option to turn off). Then Turn on car and turn on pod not connected to car. Make sure car is on something other than aux like fm is what I use. Then once pod is on connect it to cars ipod connector. Now switch to aux and it should work....may have to hit usb as option...(every once and a while mine requires it). Now the bad news. Every-time you turn off car you have to do this again when you turn it on again (so remember to disconnect pod before turning on car). Let me know if anyone else finds this to work with their ipod touch please. Good luck - still surprised there is not more mention of this problem on the web cant believe that a lot of BMW users dont also have ipod touches for use in their car.

Iphone bluetooth compatible with 2007 Toyota Tundra bluetooth feature

I had a Motorola Razr that was compatible with my new Tundra, but I haven't been able to link my iphone and Tundra as of yet. Any suggestions?

I would check the Lexus website to see a listing of compatible phones. I own a BMW and found that the iPhone was supported before buying it. I too had a negative experience with the Treo 700w which didn't like to play with the BMW bluetooth profile. It was nice to see that Apple and BMW certified iPhone before it was unleashed to the public.

I am trying to download my photos from my iphone to my mac-iphoto. It keeps trying but about halfway through it says there is an error with a photo therefore it wont download any of my pictures or videos. It wont tell me which picture is the issue.

I took a lot of pictures and video on my recent trip to Ireland. Now I am trying to download the photos and videos from my iphone to my mac - iphoto. I have tried 3 times and each time (at a different point) I get a message telling me that there was an error with one of my photos and it wont load the pictures. Help!!

Try using Image Capture to download to a folder on the Desktop. If there's a damaged file on the iPhone that's preventing the download you can isolate it with Image Capture and then delete it from the iPhone.

While making a backup copy in Itunes of my Iphone I receive the following error message: While making a backup copy of this iPhone (-35) an error has occurred. Do you want to continue with altering this Iphone? When you continue al the material on this Iphone will be lost.
I reinstalled iTunes but that dit not help. After synching iTunes with my iPhone it also asks to authorize my pc and when i Click on ok, it says it is already authorized.
Please can somebody help me, so I can make backup.
Greetz,

It's likely that your backup is corrupt. Try deleting the backup, then right click on the name of the phone in iTunes and choose "back up". To delete go to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab. Highlight and delete the most recent backup. Note that sometimes deleting this way leaves some garbage around that can still interfere with a new backup, so you should verify that the backup folder is empty.
from: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.

My macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

my macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

This can be caused by a number of issues.
Was everything working and then suddenly stopped??
Or is this a new clean setup and has never worked.
Do you have a cable modem which is not a router and the TC setup in bridge? That will cause it. The TC must be in router mode, ie dhcp and nat.
Check the IP the MBP gets including dns and gateway..
Then check the ipad/iphone.. post what IP dns and gateway (router in applespeak) they get.

IPhone and iPad error when syncing with itunes

iTunes cannot sync my iPhone 4 or iPad air, iPhone produces unknown error (-50), and iPad produces unknown error (-54), cannot sync. This problem started in the past seven days. Neither device is Jailbroken, so I know that's not a cause, any help?

I was having this problem and there isn't a lot out there about it. But it seems to have gone away with iOS 7.1, which is nice.
