IPhone headphones no longer control iTunes after 10.5.6 update

I just purchased my new MacBook Pro yesterday; happy to find out I could use the "clicker" on my iPhone headphones to control my iTunes. The machine came stocked with a version of Leopard before 10.5.6, so The Updater prompted me to update. After the update I was very disappointed to find out that my "clicker" no longer was capable of controlling my iTunes.
Has anyone else noticed this anomaly?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ..
According to VersionTracker, Clicker operating system requirements are:
Operating System Requirements:
This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:
Mac OS X 10.4 Intel
Mac OS X 10.4 PPC
Mac OS X 10.3.9
Mac OS X 10.3

Apparently not compatible with Leopard yet.

IPhone is not syncing with iTunes after iOS 7.1 update

I have an iPhone 4S and an iPad 2, and neither of them will sync my new music from iTunes after updating both of them to iOS 7.1. When I press sync on my computer, the steps start at the top of iTunes, but then it just finishes before it actually starts writing the names of individual songs like it would normally do when syncing. It is as there is no music to be synced but there is. Please help!!

You've tried the following procedure?
Turn your device off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your device and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a device in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
If this still doesn't work, you should make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have your device evaluated.

Iphone (5c) no longer connects iTunes to bluetooth since recent Apple iphone update

iphone (5c) no longer connects iTunes through bluetooth since latest update (8.1.2)

Hi Jill4547,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're not able to sync your iPhone to iTunes wirelessly, or Bluetooth connections are not working as expected.
The iPhone syncs wirelessly to iTunes using a Wi-Fi connection. If you haven't been able to sync wirelessly since updating to iOS 8.1.2, you can use the steps in this article to check your sync settings in iTunes:

You can also use this article to troubleshoot the Wi-Fi connection on your iPhone:

All the best,

Can you try to connect to another computer?
DFU mode would be the last thing to try before contacting Apple Support or visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store.

Hi there owain11,
It looks like that particular error may be realted to a hardware issue. Take a look at the article below for more information.
Resolve iOS update and restore errors
Check for hardware issues
Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
These errors mean that your device or computer may have a hardware issue that's preventing the update or restore from completing.
Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

My iphone won't accept my iTunes password for it's updates. How do I fix it?

My iPhone won't accept my iTunes password for it's updates. How do I fix this? Or what is the number of an actual person (no AI) that I can contact to help me?

Hi, Did you find a fix for this? I have the same issue, I've logged out of everything I can think of on my phone and logged back in again and it appears to accept the password. Yet when I try and update my apps it says that the password is incorrect! Ive reset my passwords both AOL and Apple. When I log on via a PC it accepts them, but when I try and buy / update something via the app store on my phone it says that the password is incorrect. Ive made sure that software levels are up to date etc.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks

Headphones no longer control phone

Firstly, I'd like to say I'm on my 4th iPhone 4s in 2 years. I believe I am passed my Apple Care. All previous iPhone 4s' were returned specifically for issues dealing with the reciever on the iPhone - sooner or later it would crap out and sound like a transitor radio. Now, this has occured again on this one, for the 4th time, however, I am passed that issue, because it is quite a common problem (my brother is on his 5th for the same issue). Another issue that is common with headphones is when iPhone gets stuck in 'headphone' mode even after removal (here is that thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/6897427#6897427). I have worked through those issues.
On to the new issue. Since I am now solely using the phone portion of iPhone with headphones only, the new issue is incredibly annoying. Out of the blue, my 1-week old earbuds no longer controled the phone. So, the volume mechanism which is also the microphone no longer worked. I can hear clearly out of the headphones, but the volume control does not work, Siri does not activate, and the worst of all, the mic does not work.
How do I know the latter? Well, my wife called me, I had to answer on the actual phone. I could hear her fine through the headphones, but while the phone was in my pocket, she was saying bad connection or cannot hear me. I noticed that I could hear this sharp distortion sound as I moved. I took out the phone and she said she could now hear me. This led me to the realization that mic on the iPhone was active and was causing the ruffling sound when rubbed against my pocket. Now when I make a call with the headphones, if I rub the iPhone's mic, I hear the distortion, telling me it is on...so I have to hold the iPhone up to my mouth (like you would if it were on speaker) and I can hear through the headphones.
This *****. Period. I use my iPhone for work, and need HANDS-FREE!!! There was another thread on this earlier, but it is now archived. So I am starting it again.
Here is that thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18253417#18253417
Thanks for all help.
BTW - I have used a 1/2 a canister of compressed air in the jack, to no avail.

If you look in Setttings>Sounds is the Change with Buttons turned on? What other troubleshooting have you tried? Try a reset, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone should reboot. If that does not correct it, since the device is new, make an appointment at the Genius Bar at the nearest Apple Store and have the device checked.

With iOS7, why can't my Toyota's bluetooth radio no longer control iTunes from my iPhone5?

I updated my iPhone 5 with iOS7 and now I have no song-advance control (via steering wheel buttons or dashboard) over iTunes from my phone. Is this a bug within Apple's new operating system or is there something I need to change in settings in the phone or car to regain control over song-advancing? For whatever reason, the dashboard radio controls no longer control track skipping either. My car is a 2012 Toyota Prius and I assume the issue affects other Toyota models with bluetooth capability.

OK, so just to reiterate what others have said:
1. Remove the multimedia devices from your phone (Settings-Bluetooth-(your device)-i-Forget this Device
2. Do a hard reset on the phone -push both buttons until the phone shuts down; then wait patiently for it to restart
3. Go to your car and remove the Bluetooth pairing for your phone
4. Turn off the car and wait 30 seconds
5. Turn on the vehicle and re-pair your devices.
After trying a number of different combinations, this finally worked. Good luck.

IPhone 4 isn't recognized as my device and doesn't sync to itunes after a failed software update using itunes

The title says it all, but today I had the option to update my IPhone 4 through itunes and so I did. After a few minutes as the process was in effect an error popped up and said the update had failed.
Currently my phone is plugged into the USB port and is showing me a charger pointing to itunes; the complication is that my IPhone is no longer registered in my name and it also isn't sync'ing or being recognized through my itunes.
I've looked through the support pages and have done as many things as I can find which included:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
I ran the diagnostics and went to this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363?viewlocale=en_US
None of these actions gave me the answer I needed.
I've also taken my phone to the nearest AT&T provider and they weren't completely sure what's going on.
I did realize that I tried to update my IPhone when the itunes wasn't at it's most updated platform.
Any help would be much appreciated! I'm all out of ideas.

Hy there,
First you have to try connecting your device to the computer an then reinstall the drivers by following these steps:
1'st step is to go into the device manager
2 step is to go to portable devices (it is rught under network adapters)
3 step is to right clic apple iphone and click update drivers
4 step is to brows your drivers from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
After that your itunes must detect your device in DFU mode an you will have to push the restore button and it has to restore.
Good luck,
Andrei

Iphone not getting detected by itunes after upgrade to 10.5

Hey guys,
Last night after the release of 10.5 itunes, my iphone is not detected in itunes. I dont know what's the problem, I am on Windows 7 and It's able to detect my iphone just as a camera. I've tried using it on my friends laptop running windows vista, there i'm able to detect my iphone but no on my comp.
I've tried starting services from Administration i.e. apple mobile and ipod services.
But i'm not able to find any solution to it. Do let me know guys if any one of you is facing this problem with me and does anyone has the solution to it?
Thanks alot guys,

I am having the same problem although I think mine is probably worse than yours. My iphone was detected by itunes both after i updated it to iOS 5.01 and after i jailbroke it. I then downloaded a few cydia apps and it would no longer detect my camera folder on my computer...so I said screw it I'll start over. So I deleted all the cydia apps/tweaks I downloaded and then I was able to see my camera folder again.
BUT WAIT now itunes wont detect my iphone. I tried redownloading all my tweaks and apps but I still get nothing. I tried reinstalling cydia but still nothing. I tried connecting my iphone to another computer with a fresh copy of itunes and still nothing. This is REALLY bad since now I can't even restore my iphone. PLEASE HELP!

IPhone wont show up in itunes after upgrading to leopard and iLife 08

Hello:
For some reason, my iphone does not show up on my itunes after upgrading my mac to leopard and ilife 08. The phone was syncing properly before the upgrade. I also installed all the patches that were available for downloading but I did not try syncing between the main update and patches. I am running itunes 7.6 and had been running 7.5.1 before that. My iphone is on firmware 1.1.2 and I have it set to manually sync. My ipod video is syncing fine but I had that set to automatic syncing.
I checked the system profile and the usb is showing the iphone just fine.
Can anybody help?

Yup. It does work, had the exact same problem, iPhone showed in system profiler under USB, and iTunes would not recognize, reinstall fixed it all. It almost looks like a permission problem after the reinstall to where some .plist files got wrong settings set, repairing permissions might work too.
