IPhone doesn't ring in car with built-in bluetooth with OS4.

I have the iPhone 3Gs...updated completely to the latest OS, but when I updated to OS4, the bluetooth in my Nissan Versa no longer rings. The phone doesn't ring with an incoming call, and the car's bluetooth doesn't ring. The only way I know there is an incoming call is if the radio or cd or auxillary (iPod) is playing, the music shuts off and the display says telephone. If there is nothing playing on the speakers, there is no notification of an incoming call.
I have deleted the phone from the car's program and re-added it, but it doesn't change anything. Is there anyone else with this same problem?
It's very frustrating and I'm waiting for a fix.

ohh boy! i hope i wont have this problem when i get my iphone 4 next week but when i purchased the ipod touch i couldnt even synch it with my friends similar ipod (when we both had bluetooth on).
i went to a apple store and the genius guy told me the bluetooth only synch with apple stuff - well that was incorrect because i still cant synch with my friend´s ipod nor my home mac mini pc!
that is why i always had nokia phones so far, because i rely a lot on bluetooth (photo and music transfer) but lately i found a nice ebay deal for an ipad and an iphone 4 ...so i took the chance on getting them but i find now that they dont synch!!!
i hope the latest upgrade OS4 will solve all this (maybe i wont even upgrade and try it first with old OS from factory) because i need to listen to my ipod itunes and make/receive calls handsfree from my sony xplod bluetooth car radio.
no matter how old is my poor 2001 renault clio 1.2 this is not a reason for apple not to dwell on this worldwide problem - the only option left is to plug a 3.5 male/male cable from headphones to aux!

Iphone contacts "not available" to car phonebook after messing around with Outlook.pst file names and backups. Iphone4 connects to car though and other phones connect properly.

iphone contacts "not available" to car phonebook after messing around with Outlook.pst files, names and backups, on my ms XP 2003 laptop. I substituted a much smaller new Personal Folder -Contacts File, with a smaller list of phone numbers (4 only as a test) which successfully synced to the iPhone 4. The iPhone connects to the Skoda Octavia HandsFreeSystem OK (Bluetooth works fine), but now iPhone wont load the new Contacts as it did originally. However a family Nokia (never messed with) can connect properly. So must be the iPhone or more likely an Outlook.pst \ Contacts problem. Ideas?

After fiddling a little more, the following fixed my corrupted outlook.pst file:
1) I made a backup
2) In outlook under file, I exported the calendar to excel
3) In outlook under file, I imported the calendar back to outlook
And voila, it worked.

Until the wi-fi reception is completely lost, the iPhone will not switch to the cellular network.

Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device. Try each of these steps until your problem is solved. If these steps fail to solve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple (or an authorized service provider in your area) for evaluation.

Are there any LCD HDTVs with built-in bluetooth?

So I'm going to buy an LCD HDTV and I'd like to be able to use it occasionally as an external monitor for my iBook G4. Does anyone know of a brand that makes LCDs with built-in bluetooth? I could only find two--a Samsung that has been discontinued, and an LG that is only available in Europe.
If not, are there any ways to use my to-be-purchased tv as a wireless computer monitor?
Thanks.

Having an LCD TV with Bluetooth wouldn't help you to use it as a wireless monitor at all. Bluetooth is nowhere near fast enough to transfer real-time video data, let alone a high-resolution or HD computer display.
Bluetooth is for transferring small amounts of data. It would take 10-20 seconds to transfer 1 single medium sized JPEG image for example.
Wireless HD is a new technology that hasn't really made it to market yet as the standard is still being worked upon and adopted by manufacturers:

Why does it need to be wireless? If you're close enough to be able to see the TV at a usable distance, you're close enough to simply connect a cable.

IPhone G3 S with built in BlueTooth car Kit problem

I have an iPhone 3Gs.
When I connect to my car kit (Motorola T605) the kit always falls back into music mode.Tthe phone works in this mode but when I use either the iPod feature or a GPS navigation app I get no sound through the car.
It worked perfectly with my older iPhone with 2.2.1.
Any ideas as to what is wrong or what I can do to rectify the problem ?
Do any of you have car kits that work fully with the iPhone 3G s that you can recommend .. It looks like I might have to change my car kit.
I have updated my 2.2.1 3G phone .... The same problems exist. It seems to be a version 3.0 software issue to me.

Hi Tim,
I have just spent 2 hours on the phone with Motorola's tech support (They were useless at best !!!). I got nowhere at all. They blame all the problems all on Apple and say their kit is NOT guaranteed to work with all phones with A2DP. I wish they said that in their sales literature and i told them that .. they seemed to be unable to accept the idea that their saying it works in writing is somewhat misleading (Wrong in this case) and perhaps even a breach of sales law.
I then spent over an hour at my local (and very experienced) car audio store. they were more than helpful but they also could not get things working correctly.
I do have a Sony car stereo system and this has a lead for an iPod to play through the stereo system.
I connected my iPhone to this ... it worked .. sort of ! .. I had to play around a bit .. I managed to get Audio to work and my navigation App (Navigon Europe) worked this way also.
The store then played around with a Parrot MKi9100 car kit that they had on a demonstration stand.. This was significantly better and I am having my motorola T605 removed and disposed of in disgust tomorrow and the Parrot installed.
The Parrot will also charge the iPhone via it's cable unlike the Motorola and Sony setup.
I did speak to Parrot themselves and they have said to me that any of their models in the MKi range will be fine with the iPhone with version 3.0 software as they have done software updates .. The updates can be applied by the owners simply and quickly.
Just for information for you and others with similar problems ... We also tried several car stereo systems that say they have bluetooth and iPhone compatibility built in to them .. Alpine in particular ... Not one worked !!!
The Parrot is being fitted as I said earlier tomorrow ... I will make a further report when it's all done to let you know just how good it is and how everything works.
I hope this helps.

Please Help!
Thank You!

Hi guidingbyte,
Who is your cellular service provider? Have you contacted them to verify the account and SIM are setup correctly?
Try resetting the iPhone by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
If the issue persists after resetting, try restoring the iPhone. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 will walk you through restoring the iPhone.

Pairing problems with built-in bluetooth and Sanyo Katana

I am unable to pair my Sanyo Katana cell phone with my PowerBook G4 with a built-in Bluetooth adapter.
The powerbook can see the cell phone in the devices list, but it shows up as its hexidecimal device ID rather than the name I've given the phone. The status line in the window periodically says "updating 1 name" but the name never changes. I've waited for 10 minutes or so but it still never updates, just continues to search for devices. I've also tried changing the name of the phone and that doesn't help. If I continue to the next screen without the device name updated, the pairing fails immediately without the phone prompting me for a password.
The phone is set to discoverable.
I've paired other devices (apple mouse and keyboard) with the internal Bluetooth adapter, so I know it is functional.
I've read other postings on this forum stating that the Sanyo Katana has been paired with an external bluetooth adapter, but I don't see anything about the internal adapter.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hey, I hope people aren't getting annoyed by my compulsive posting, but I think this solution needs to be spread, it doesn't get enough publicity:
the issue is that with 10.5.1, a certain quicktime component that acts as a USB controller for the iSight camera is given an expiry time (i.e., the file is given a feature similar to "trial periods"). This file is then deleted, and iSight ceases to function. All that need be done is to replace the component, by downloading it here:
http://techslaves.org/index.php?PHPSESSID=q8frk8vf81l0f8echu6mj0plk0&action=tpmo d;dl=item16
(disregard the version marking, it works for 10.5.2 in the very least)
Copy it to ~/System/Library/Quicktime, then reboot and it should work.

BlueTooth [BT] failed during use. Various links say "BT Not Available" - "No BT Hardware Found" etc. Have 3 yr. MacBook Pro Notebook with OSX 10.6.8 with built-in Bluetooth. HELP !

Bluetooth [BT] failed during use.Menu bar icon remains as does two BT icons in Utilities folder. System Prefs. BT icon totally gone. Remaining icons say "No BT Hardware Found" - " BT Not Available" etc. Have 3 yr. old MacBook Pro Notebook with OSX 10.6.8 & built-in Bluetooth. [ Close by iPad's BT remains functional. ]

Yeah the Bluetooth hardware has failed and needs to be replaced. there is nothing you can do except replace the BT chip. Take it to Apple.

Can I use an iMac G5 (with built-in iSight) with an external iSight as well

I like the built-in iSight for chat and video conferencing but I need to use an external webcam for capturing objects.

Yes

Add usb bluetooth to a macbook pro with built in bluetooth?

Hello. I have so many issues with bluetooth I was wondering if I could just add a USB bluetooth instead of using the built in bluetooth on my 2009 macbook pro 15" laptop? Turning the bluetooth off and hoping for the best.

For starters... if you launch PhotoBooth or FaceTime, does the camera work? If you're trying to use it on a website, many sites access the camera via Flash. You would need to download and install Flash from Adobe:

(select the OS X installer)
If your camera is not working with PhotoBooth or FaceTime, let us know.

IPhone doesn't ring in wifi mode

Both my wife and I have iPhone 5 phones. We noticed a problem when I first got mine that the phone didn't always let calls go through when it was on the wifi network in the house. Some calls did, some calls did not. We then found that if you turned off the wifi, the calls went through. Same problem with my wife's phone and she got her's a month after mine. Calling the phones, it sounds like they are ringing, but it goes to voice mail, but then the phone doesn't indicate it has a voice mail. We tried turning data off and then back on, and that didn't fix it. We have powered down and restarted, and that doesn't work either. Any help would be appreciated.

Iphone doesn't ring after 3.0 update...

After downloading and installing OS 3 on my 3G phone, I realized that there is no more a ring tone I tried few different settings turning all the vibrate features off but when I get a call it still doesn't make a sound. Anyone came across that problem? Any ideas how to fix it? I did restart the iphone few times.

I too have the same problem. Sometimes the keyboard sounds, as well as the unlocking and sleep noises disappear. When I make a phone call I do not hear the ringer, the person answering, and they cannot hear me either. Sometimes it works fine, but not consistently. I messed around with the volume and that's when I realized that the phone thinks that my headphones are still attached and when they're not. I've restarted, reseted, and restored my phone and nothing. All of this started happening after I updated to 3.0. I just came back from the apple store, and one of the employees cleaned the headphone jack with pressurized air, but that didn't work either. I made an appointment with the Genius bar, but now I have to wait for two days until I can take it there. This does not bode well for my phone since they too are taking the stance that this is most likely a hardware issue and not a software issue which means only one thing: I'm gonna have to buy a new phone. This started happening from the moment that I slid the "Slide to Unlock" right after the 3.0 os was finished installing. I smell a big fat rat, Apple. Am I being punished for wanting to have the first gen of a product?

My Iphone doesn't ring anymore and none of the background sound neither. I've tried everything and I am ressourceless. Is it something else to do before sending it to repair?

Cansomeone help me with my problem, if you have any clue please. I am starting to be ressourceless and my Iphone is my primary phone, so... Thanks for any help

Do you have the mute switch turned on? It's the slider above the volume buttons? If you see orange next to it, you've got your phone on mute. Slide it the other way.

My iPhone doesn't show the PhotoStream photos what I uploaded with iCloud Control Panel on my PC. Why?

I just copied some pictures to the "C:\Users\<username>\Pictures\Photo Stream\Uploads folder and I opened the Photos on my iPhone but the PhotoStream is fully empty. I can see the uploaded photos in the My Photo Stream folder but not on my iPhone. Why?

Have you ensured that PhotoStream is on in the iCloud Settings in your iPhone?
Make sure you're connected to WiFi with a good connection.
Make sure you have at least 20% battery life on your phone. PhotoStream will not work unless you have at least 20% battery.
Try turning your phone off and then turning it back on again.
