IPhone doesn't appear as device and sync of local files has stopped working

Oh my god!! why is it so complicated to do something that simple. Add a feature that lets us add our own mp3 directly in spotify with spotify managing them as itunes would (saving in right directory with renaming etc. Make people use your app instead of itunes) And automatically sync the content with devices. It's just too complicated now.. go to prefs add a custom source folder, put all the songs there.. go back to main screen and try to find the iphone (that never appears, I don't even know how to look for it). I never succeeded in adding my mp3. Now I can't see my device anywhere either. I added the song on the desktop app, but with some pain (first tried with itunes source but that doesn't refresh automatically and even if I restarted the app nothing appeared) so I chose the 'folder' source (quick and dirty way to add songs). I added the song to a playlist and tried to sync with my phone (on the same wifi yes).. no nothing happens, the song is there (on the phone) but greyed out (when I click on it it says content not synced, connect the phone on the same wifi bla bla bla) I don't know why it's so complicated.. From the beginning of spotify it never has been userfriendly, even when the phone appeared in device I always had problems and gave up. Hurry up guys! Apple released there own fully integrated streaming service so if we can't play our songs in the same app we will use the one that let us do that. Hopefuly some day we won't have to do this anymore if the streaming services get common and used by everybody, it will put some pressure on artists and they will see that this is the future. Sorry if I may appear rude.. It's getting late and I'm tired.Keep going guys you're doing a great job. But please fix this asap. I'm starting to have a lot of songs that are not on spotify :( And no I don't want to reinstall the iphone app. I don't want to loose my preferences and have to sync my 10gb songs all over again. (Yes I only use spotify localy, I don't have an 'unlimited' data package). Bye :) and as Bon Jovi would say.. ♫♫♫ Have a nice day! ♫♫♫

Until just recently, connection between iPhone app and Windows (7) app has worked fine. I've been able to sync local files to my mobile device. Since two-three weeks ago it hasn't worked. Some Windows updates have been installed and Spotify app has been upgraded. I know I'm on same WiFi and that the iPhone has memory space for the sync, and I'm doing the exact same procedure as always before. I've also tried on both my jobs WiFi and at home. Any ideas?

  • My centre button has stopped working and my top lock button has stopped working too. I've had this iPhone 2 years now, can I take it into apple and swap for another phone or am I not covered? Thanks

    The standard Apple warranty is 1 year. I believe you can purchase AppleCare+, which extends the warranty to two years from the date of purchase. This extended warranty needs to be purchased within 30 days of the purchase date for the phone.
    If you have the extended warranty, you may be able to get a replacement phone at no cost. You will need to make an appointment at an Apple Store Genuis Bar and have them take a look at the phone.
    If you did not purchase the additional warranty coverage, you should be able to purchase an Out-of-Warranty replacement, which is $199 for the iPhone 4S.

  • What happened?  Tried to open Elements 8 and error message says "Photoshop has stopped working."

    The Welcome screen somes up but then fades and error message says "Photoshop has stopped working."  Then Windows closes the program.
    I shut down the computer, waited, then did restart, clicked on PSE, and the same message came up again.  That was last night,  thought I might get a message this morning, but same thing happened again.  I'm trying to not panic - this is all new to me.
    Any help welcome!

    If you have not updated to the most current version, you might try that.

  • Using Adobe Captivate 7 and keep getting Adobe Captivate has stopped working...

    I am new to Using Adobe Captivate 7 and keep getting Adobe Captivate has stopped working on Slide 7.  What can I try?

    Will you be delivering this content from an LMS?  If so, then the LMS should handle the menu.  Break your project into separate modules and use the Multi-SCORM Packager to create a bundled set.
    If you are not using an LMS, but ARE serving content from a web server, then YES you could create a menu module that you use to launch the other modules.
    If you are intending to serve this content from a LAN or CD ROM, then you could create a normal HTML web page with hyperlinks to launch individual modules.

  • I just received a refurbished replacement iphone and now while syncing I get "itunes has stopped working"...help???

    I just received a refurbished iphone the the insurance provided by a major electronics retailer.  Since i have tried to sync it to iTunes I have received "iTunes has stopped working" error.  It says it will come back with possible solutions, but never does a thing.  I have already removed and again installed iTunes, QuickTime, etc. to no success.  Not sure what my next step should be.

    This helped overcome the crash problem, but (as reported before), I still have to start iTunes in Safe Mode in order to watch any videos. This has been the case since 10.5.
    The regular mode behavior has changed a bit - instead of the progress bar moving to the end of the video, showing no video but playing the audio for about three seconds, it now leaves the progress bar where it is ... but the rest of the behavior hasn't changed.
    Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit on an HP dv8t quad-core laptop w/ 8 GB RAM, running nVidia GeForce 230M with 1 GB video RAM.
    Thanks for your prompt response to the original problem posted above. At least now I'm back where I started from before I upgraded to 10.7. Not optimal, but I've finally gotten used to doing a Ctrl-Shift-click to run iTunes.

  • Need help with Photoshop and "Licensing for this product has stopped working" message. Adobe fix isn't working.

    I am still using CS3. A while back I received an error: "Licensing for this product has stopped working" for my CS3 programs. I used the recovery program suggested by Adobe and was able to get Illustrator, Flash and Dreamweaver to work, but I still can't open Photoshop or In Design. I went back to the Adobe site and did every other trick they suggested to fix the error, but nothing has worked.
    I then tried to uninstall photoshop from my CS3 suite (so I could reinstall) but got a JavaScript Alert: "Critical errors were found in set up. Please see set up log for file details." Seeing as I am not the best with the behind the scenes technical stuff, I have no idea what this means or where the set up log even is. Any help anyone can provide?
    I have had CS3 installed on my computer for over a year. I started having problems about 4 months ago.

    I am having similar problem.  Can't open any of CS3 programs after trying to download Dreamweaver Trial, which wouldn't work because "couldn't remove DLM extention" error message.  So now I can not run Illustrator, Photoshop, or even Adobe Reader.  These are properly licensed for about a year. I get "License for product has stopped working".  Have 2 pending cases open with Adobe support (one for Dreamweaver trial, one for license problem) since 8/3 with NO ANSWERS - It says answers within 1-3 business days.  Was on phone support hold today for over 3 hours before line went dead with no help.  What is up with adobe support?  Can anyone help?

  • I have updated with os X 10.10.2 and my built in microphone has stopped working. need immediate solution for this.

    Currently I own 13.5" Macbook Air (mid 2012) with OS X 10.10.2 running on it. Ever since I upgraded to it, the built-in microphone has stopped working.
    I made Facetime calls but my voice was not able to transfer/hear on the other side. Moreover i tried checking the "Sound Input levels" in the System Preferences and they all are perfect. When i speak the volume recognition bars does not show any movement or change, indicating no Input Volume.
    Kindly look into this matter and take necessary steps to resolve this issue.

  • I have a four month old Iphone 4, from the Apple store, And seems like every day something stops working on it. Today I can't hear the person thats calling, but they hear me fine. Anyone know how to fix this?

    That is just the most recent problem. Other problems are the screen freezes all the time, and it won't scroll or do anything. Another is my keyboard lags as I type. another problem, is with some of my apps are constantly crashing. And It is not the apps itself per se, because my friends can be using the same app, and they are fine. Another would be emails not pushing. I will have some emails that show up, some will say I have new emails, but open to check and nothing there. Then other times i will have like 17 emails all show up at once, with some being sent days before. Another problem is my Wifi turns itself off all the time. Even when I am sitting less than 10 feet away from the router. And When I add new contacts, they are visible for a few days, then all the sudden they are nowhere to be found. Sometimes it will at least save the number in my contacts, and no name or other info. And other times it doesn't save anything. These are just a few of the many problems.
    Because I got this phone shortly after the new IOS7 update, I thought since I had read about problems others were having after updating, may have been the reason I was having some initial problems. But they have only grown to more problems, and not getting better.
    Has anyone else had these same problems? Do I just have a bad phone? If you have had any of these problems, were you able to get a fix and how? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

    Note: I tried running itunes in "itunes safe mode" (i.e. holding control-shift-itunes) at start up and itunes works fine.
    What can I do to fix this issue? I am running Windows 7 (64 bit)

    I'm experiencing the same issue, but I was able to get itunes to run by turning off genius.  I've heard that others had to turn off itunes Match as well.  If you start up itunes while your computer is not connected to the Internet you shoulld be able to start itunes and then disable these items.
    I'm trying to determine a root cause because I'd like to use genius.  Stay tuned...
