IPhone Issues with USB Connection and Bluetooth in GM cars

I recently purchased a 2009 Chevy Cobalt SS/TC and it has a USB connection for an iPod. Prior to the 2.1 updated the USB connection worked flawless as well did my handsfree/bluetooth. I had the Apple Genius Bar check my iPhone for any issues due to a corrupt update but everything turned up fine. When i connect to my car I receive an error message (iPod Did Not Authenticate. Check iPod Version). Also my bluetooth will sync but when you answer the phone using hands free you get no audio from the iPhone or speakers in the car. I used a friends iPod and everything worked fine but when I connect with a new iPod it displays the same error. I have contacted GM but they said talk to Apple.
If anyone can help please let me know.
Thanks

Hey J,
Well you got me thinking about your question, and I guess I didn't get it the first time. Again, I own the same car - 09 Chevy Cobalt SS/TC, Black. A lot of fun! I plugged my iPhone into the radio USB connection and get the same error. The GM radio does not support the iPhone. It will not authenticate. The GM radios' firmware is looking for an iPod, not an iPhone. That is expected. As far as the iPhone and it's Bluetooth, again the iPhone's Bluetooth hands free works fine, except I cannot answer the iPhone during an incoming call without first unlocking the iPhone then pressing the mute button on the steering wheel. For what it's worth the iPhone will charge through the USB connection. I'm a little confused on what you are trying to connect. Bottom line, an iPod should always work, an iPhone, not at all. Lastly, I have purchased the GM Personal Audio Link (PAL) and hope to use it with my iPod so I can put the iPod in the glove compartment. Although I have heard a lot of negative comments and issues with it for being slow and sluggish. If so, I'll be sending it back and I'll stay with the USB connection. I'll let you know how that works.

If these don't work you may have a hardware problem. Visit an Apple store for an evaluation or contact Apple Support.

My itunes account shuts down for no reason. It wont recognize my iphone and there is an issue with network connectivity and itunes. I have already reinstalled itunes and did a syste restore on my computer, firewall checked and virus scan done. Ideas??

My itunes account on windows xp shuts down for no reason. If even try to delete something from my library it shuts down. It wont recognize my iphone and there is an issue with network connectivity and I can't connect to the store. I have already reinstalled itunes and did a system restore on my computer, firewall has been checked, itunes is ok on firewall and virus scan done. Ideas??

Same problem. I can see the itunes store so not a problem with windows firewall. The account is active on my iphone so i know i am not locked out. I can connect the PC to my iphone so i know itunes is working ok. It is just logging into itunes on this pc which doesn't work. Only thing I can think of is that the email address I use for my apple id has been offline for a while and is working again now, I'm wondering whether this has been the case for others who are having this issue?

Since the Mountain Lion OS update today I've had issues with internet connection and e-mail, has anyone else?

Since the Mountain Lion OS update today I've had issues with internet connection and e-mail, has anyone else?

That's what I would have thought, but even after saving the setting, as soon as I shut down my computer or log out of Mail, it automatically defaults back to 25. It's a bit frustrating.
Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of those horrible pop-up banners but still have my glass sound and number of emails in the red dot when I get an email...
These little tweaks are the only thing I HATE about upgrading my OS.

Strange issue with USB mouse and USB headset.

Good day everyone.
I was experiencing a rather strange issue with my mouse and headset(both USB).
I am using KDE and ALSA, if that matters.
They are working just fine, but sometimes, when I try to lower\raise volume, my mouse derps out. I can move it around, but I can't click on anything(sometimes though, I can click on stuff in window that was active before and sometimes only on KDE panel) until I re-plug my headset. Then, nothing can use my headset until I reboot.
Anybody ever had that problem?

I've had similar problems for some time now. Unfortunately, I don't know what the issue is either, but perhaps we can come up with some setup similarities and narrow it down. I have similar trouble with just alsa or with pulseaudio, so that's not it. It is unrelated to the DE, as it happened for me in both gnome 2 and xfce 4. It is not related to the machine either, as the same quirks occur in other machines with the same headset. I have had inconclusive results with downgrading to kernel26-lts, the ancient kernel. I thought at some point it messed up and I was sure the older kernel didnt help, but after trying recently-ish, I had no trouble for days -- until I found that I didn't have trouble on the main kernel either. ... then a few days later, it showed up again. Very irritating!

Does my old thread sound like your issue somewhat?
Essentially, at times, if the headset (wireless) is changed into a different power state (unplugged/plugged) or the mic state is toggled (mute/unmute), things that could be clicked on normally cant unless theyre in the window already focused -- mostly.
What headset are you using? 32 or 64 bit arch? Have you tried downgrading to kernel26-lts?

I have a 2013 Buick Enclave with Pandora icon on the screen. I was told that to connect my iphone 5 with USB port and that worked. But as soon as I disconnected, Pandora went out on screen. Only works plugged in now. Should work without USB connected.

I have a 2013 Buick Enclave with Pandora and Stitcher on the nav screen. With my Samsung S3, Pandora automatically lit up and worked. with new iphone5, I was told I need to connect USB port to car and phone and start Pandora. That worked and the icon on screen lit up. but as soon as I removed the USB cord, Pandora and Stitcher greyed out and stopped working. I know it's supposed to work on the car's nav screen once I hardwire it (at least that's what I was told), but as soon as I disconnect, they stop working through the car. How can I install Pandora and Stitcher on my car WITHOUT having the usb cord attached? the idea is to be able to use the car's touch screen to control Pandora, but with the phone plugged into the USB port, I can only use the phone to control Pandora, which of course is dangerous when driving! And it worked correctly with the samsung, so I have to believe it can work with the iphone 5! Right? Thanks.

You cannot install the apps on the car.
The cars head unit is merely acting as an interface to the apps on the device.
If you want to use those apps in the car, plug the device in and leave it plugged in.

Issues with USB connection to car stereo

I just got an iPhone a few weeks ago, and generally it's great, but I have frequent issues when connecting it to my new Pioneer DEH-P3100UB car stereo. I think it may be kind of new in that it doesn't have a "special cable" for connecting to the iPhone, it just uses the typical USB sync cable.
When I see the problem, the stereo reports error 19, which the manual calls a communication failure, and suggests turning the car off and back on, unplugging and replugging the USB device, or switching to a different audio source and then back to USB.
Generally, none of these suggestions work, but power cycling my iPhone always does. This doesn't seem like it should be necessary. Has anyone else had problems like this? Is this a problem with the iPhone software that might be addressed in a future software update?
Thanks!

Hey jrbapple,
Keeping your iPhone updated is a good idea. If you iPhone isn't already updated to iPhone software 2.2.1, try updating it now.

Does the car stereo have the "Works With iPhone" logo?

Problems with USB connection and PC Suite

Connecting your device to the PC via USB doesn´t always work as smooth as it should. You can either use the setup´s repair function or if you are experiencing more serious problems, you need to uninstall all Nokia software form your phone and get it back on to make to work again.
This is how you do it:
Run the Nokia PC Suite setup file again and choose "repair" instead of "uninstall". This should solve some of the connectivity problems. If it didn´t work for you continue with the instructions below.
Go to Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Software, there you need to uninstall all Nokia software (Nokia PC Suite, Nokia Cable driver, PC Connectivity Solution ...)
Download and run Nokia PC Suite Cleaner
Reboot your computer
Download and install PC Suite here.
Connect your phone via USB cable (if possible use a different USB jack) and follow the instructions on the screen.
Now you´re set up to manage your phone with PC Suite!

Hi pudu
thanks for the reply!
so sad, that doesn't work for me. the same with Nokia_PC_Suite_6_84_10_3_eng_us_web.exe
I have widcomm stack for bluetooth, there are lot of concerns about this,
but I do not understand why it cannot be connected via USB, too. Oh, no, it is connected, but that makes no sense

Issue with usb flash and removable hard drives in Lion. (also an install tip)

Having an issue with my usb flash and removable hard drives. I plug them in and Lion does not display all my files/folders, I take it out and plug it into my snow leopard machine and all the files/folders are there, does anyone have this issue?
It does it on my macbook pro which was a snow leopard upgrade to Lion and it does it on my macbook which was a clean install of Lion via a bootable flash drive.
The computers both work great in all other aspects, so there were no errors on installation. It's plain and simple, some files/folders are not showing up that are present on the drives and viewable on all other non-lion OS's mac and PC.
Also a word on installs, I highly suggest doing a clean install (delete and reformat drive them install Lion vs a snow leopard ugrade) my machine that was a clean install (macbook) runs 50% faster and smoother than the upgraded one (macbook pro).

Yes, you can use your backup disk drives in the manner you describe, but Apple provides conflicting information on the subject.
From Mac Basics: Time Machine
Time Machine can’t backup to an external drive that's connected to an AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule, or a drive formatted for Microsoft Windows ...
From Time Machine doesn't back up to AirPort Extreme AirPort Disks
Time Machine in Mac OS X v10.5 or later can be used to back up to many kinds of Mac OS Extended-formatted drives, but you cannot choose an AirPort Extreme 802.11n's AirPort Disk as a Time Machine backup volume.
However, you can choose Time Capsule AirPort Disks or internal disks as a Time Machine backup volume.
They have yet to resolve this discrepancy.
All other available technical details regarding Time Machine's use seem to indicate that a USB HD connected to Time Capsule should meet Time Machine's requirements. For what it's worth I have been using an external HDD connected to the Time Capsule's USB port and it seems to function just fine.

Is charging iPhone 4 with USB connection in 2012 Toyota Sienna safe?

Sure. I have been using the USB charge/music interface in my Toyota truck with my iPhone for almost 2 years, with no issues.

Issue with USB ports and Blue Screen

So, I had to send my Satellite L355-S7905 back and Toshiba had to do a factory restore. I got it back 2 weeks ago and now I have a new problem; 2-3 times a day my mouse and printer stops working, these are connected via USB ports and I get a message that the device is no longer recognized. I found a solution on the Microsoft site to go to Device manager and Scan for new hardware changes and then Restart. I do this and when I restart I get the dreaded blue screen. So I then have to unplug, take out the battery and turn the computer back on. Then the mouse and printer are recognized. This will work for several hours and then the whole thing happens again. So, are there any long term solutions? Can anyone tell my why this is happening? Please note, that that the printer and mouse are not new and no new hardware has been installed since getting it back from the factory.
Thank you for your help!!
Jennifer

start-->control panel-->system and security-->device manager-->expand the universal serial bus controllers-->right click and uninstall all of the USB root hubs-->restart-->they will reinstall on restart, and search for attached hardware.

Multiple Issues with HTC 8X and Verizon Doesn't Care

I have had this phone for three months and had this issue the whole time. Searched Verizon and Windows forums and found the same thing. Only Verizon HTC 8X having this issue. On top of that I am now having hardware issues. Phone SIM not showing up as connected and have to restart or re-seat the SIM. Battery life has gone down drastically. Overnight charge gets me 11 hours tops without using my Data plan with WIFI off and other major apps closed out. Shouldn't have to do that to utilize features on a smart phone. As soon as I begin using my data plan the 11 hours is cut in half. Not to mention if I use the phone for GPS navigation it gets drained in 30 minutes to and hour. Then the software is now freezing. Either freezes completly and have to restart or applications i try to open, stall and then go back to the start menu. I have to then power off the phone which freezes and 15 minutes later powers off. 3 months into the phones contract. Ridiculous. Bought from Letstalk.com and they told me I am SOL. 14 days for return and 30 for exchange. Go see HTC. HTC says i'm SOL. Go to Verizon and get a new SIM. Factory Reset the device as well. If that doesn't help, ship it to us and we will repair. Are you kidding. I am a consultant for a major merger and acquisition company that deals with infrastructure practices all day. Send you my phone for repair on a 3 month old phone. Are you kidding me. Finally talked to Verizon. They are not consciously aware of the HTC 8x missed call three beep scenario when it has been on there forums since December of this year. With all my issues they told me I'm SOL. I don't want to send it in for repair. That is ridiculous. What will that solve. A couple of the issues. What about the three beep issue the has plagued me for months. A refurbished of a different model from two years ago, no thanks. I received a new phone three months ago. So you wanna make it my fault and tell me here take an iphone 4 from two years ago from 300 dollars. I am furious with this and want to proceed with making sure this lack of decent service for an issue like this is resolved and others don't have to face this type of treatment. I paid good money for a smartphone with reliable service. So far i'm being told to bend over and take it from everyone. I feel that the three beep issue alone is a breach of the contract I have with Verizon and I should be able to constitute that right and terminate this disease.

Hello,
I received my new "reconditioned" phone to replace my 6 month old Droid 4.
The replacement phone only holds a charge for 6 hours or so, with minimal
use (no internet).
I am VERY unhappy. I left a message with the store employee who helped me
activate the replacement
phone, but have not heard back. This is really disappointing. I paid a lot
of money AND signed an additional
2 year contract in order to purchase my Droid 4. Now I am stuck with a piece
of junk phone as is my other
employee who has a replaced Droid 4 as well. The store even told me they had
"issues" with this model (battery completely died on my phone 619-XXX-XXXX
as well as on 760-XXX-XXXX).
We concluded that when both our Droid 4 phones died within a couple of
months of each other.
AT the very least, we should have our phones replaced with new, so they can
at least hold a charge and be used for
our business as the purpose they were purchased for.
I would think making this right, since this is quite obviously NOT our fault
would be clear if you expect to retain customers.

Iphone issues with wifi connection?

while connected to my home network internet connection does not work properly.
Most of the time safari will work fine, although sometimes it can say can't connect... but the most annoying of all is that itunes almost ALWAYS gets the "cannot connect to itunes store" error. it will often work ok when i first load it, and then if i click say the updates or seach buttons it will try to load and then fail, or if i try to install an app it keeps saying "cant connect" with the option to retry.. if i retry 10-15 times eventually it might work..
my home network is fine. i have a few laptops that connect to it, and other iphones that connect to my network experience the same problems.
my router is a billion 7500G

i gave it a go last nite, same problem.
this morning i opened the appstore while connected to wifi (with bluetooth on).. and mind you i was probably sitting about 6 metres from the router through a wall so my connection should have been perfect
as i opened the appstore it loaded fine. i click "updates" i get the dreaded "cannot connect to itunes" message. after trying a couple of times i get the page to load eventuall, and when i try to instal an app update, i get the same message with the "retry option". after retrying 5-6 times i couldnt be bothered anymore and gave up.
i should also point out that my internet connection is fine.. adsl2+, which is pretty much as good as it gets here in australia.
to me it seems to be some ort of issue between my billion router and the iphone, being incompatible in some way, whether its configuration or not..
on another forum somebody suggested a while ago that i try to set a static ip for the phone.. did that to no avail..

E5510 driver install issues with 6300 wifi and Bluetooth

I hope someone can help. I have an E5510 that the hard disk crashed on. When I reload the windows 7 disk and install all of the drivers I seem to have a conflict between the 6300 wifi driver and the bluetooth drivers. Everything looks good until I do the windows updates. Then the bluetooth goes away and I have a bunch of wifi driver errors in the device manager. you cant uninstall them. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi bwing777,
Thanks for the post! It sounds like the Windows update could have a ‘Microsoft recommended’ Bluetooth driver update included. I would suggest running a system restore or uninstalling the Bluetooth device, then double checking the device drivers being installed by Microsoft Update and preventing them from updating automatically.
For the recommended Dell drivers, and the order we suggest these drivers be installed, check out the guide below.

I can pair my iPhone 4 with my MacBook and my Macbook Pro but they will not connect. My iPhone keeps telling me it does not support this even with bluetooth turned on.The devices section keeps searching all the time

I can pair my iPhone 4 with my MacBook and my Macbook Pro but they will not connect. My iPhone keeps telling me it does not support this even with bluetooth turned on.The devices section keeps searching all the time. Is this an antenna problem? Or something else ?

Your iphone is right, it is not supported. The iphone's bluetooth protocols do not include file transfer, but are intendes only for headsets, stereo headphones, cars, and keyboards.
