IPhone plugged into my GM nav./DVD screen

I recently bought a new Cacillac Ecsalade, but was unhappy to discover that there was no ipod jack to link my iPhone music to the vehicle. After serching a bit I found a company that sells a very easy to install device (1 minute..really!)that plugs into the XM reciever (it's right behind the glove box) and has a cord that plugs into the bottom connection on the iPhone. I now have all of my music controlled by the Audio/Video touch screen on the dash. I know that they make this for use in alot of Gm cars. If you are interested here is the link to the web site:

although it isnt cheap ($129.00,) it also charges the phone and the ring tone comes through the speakers so I know when a call is coming in.
They also make other products that "unlock" the dvd/nav system to allow you to do things that you are not normally able to. (watch Pulp Fiction while going 90mph on the hiway!!! aaaaaaaaah... I dont recomend that))

Cool, but will it work with my 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP with Navigation System?

IPhone plugged into laptop interferes with Bluetooth mouse

iPhone 3GS, iOS 4.1
iTunes version 10.0.1.22
Laptop is an HP Envy 15 running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
Mouse is a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000
The mouse works fine when the iPhone is sitting next to the laptop, but not plugged in, so I don't think it's EMI/wireless interference. When I plug in the iPhone to the laptop to charge it or sync it, the mouse begins acting funny. There is momentary interference (for maybe a second about every 5 seconds) where the cursor will stop moving and the buttons on the mouse won't do anything. If I go into iTunes and click on the iPhone under devices, the mouse will sometimes lock up and eventually disconnect (I know it disconnects, because I have my laptop's touchpad set to turn back on after the wireless mouse disconnects).
As far as I know, this only happens with the iPhone plugged into USB. I don't have many other USB devices to try it with. Though, I did try it with just a USB DVD drive plugged in, and the interference did not occur. Once the iPhone was plugged back in, the interference resumed.
I need to be able to charge my work phone when at work, or I will miss important calls. Also, I need the mouse for better maneuverability since I use this computer to design circuit boards (CAD is impossible with a touchpad only).
Any suggestions, other than the usual driver updates/reinstall (I've done that several times already)? Any help is appreciated.

I noticed the same kind of interference that you're experiencing on my logitec wireless laser mouse. On top of that, I only experience the lag while my iPhone is plugged in AND while iTunes 10 is open (even though as of right now iTunes isn't even detecting my iPhone) I gave up trying to fix it myself.
All in all iTunes 10 is full of bugs <.<

My ipod nano 4th generation only works when it is plugged into the computer; otherwise, the screen turns black and it is completely unresponsive to any efforts such as pushing buttons, reseting, etc. What should I do?

Sounds like the battery is shot and in need of a replacement. You can have Apple replace the battery for a flat fee or you can send it into a third party repair center for a bit less.
Not much else you can do for troubleshooting this one.

Plugged my phone in to charge and screen went navy blue, now fully charged (plugged into laptop to check) and screen is still blue. receiving all notifications but nothing is showing. HAS NOT been dropped its only 2 months old.

i was on facetime and phone was working perfectly normal. I plugged it in and left it for 5 minutes before going on it again, as i went to unlock it the screen was a dark blue colour and was receiving text messages but the screen was still this dark blue colour. i have since left it for an hour and restarted it multiple times but the screen is still the same. Ive plugged it into my mac to try and reset the whole phone but isn't letting me as i cannot type the password in. I'm just very confused as to how one minute it was working perfectly and now it isn't working at all. It hasn't been dropped.

Iphone plugged into computer no sound

When I plug my iphone into my computer I don't get any sound from the iphone speaker. I do get sound if I plug in my headphones however. I've had my iphone for almost a year and I can't remember if this has always been the case. Is it normal or a bug? If normal, why?? I miss texts and calls because of it. If a bug, how do I fix?
Thanks!

Disconnect the phone from the Computer and Try a Reset... Nothing will be Lost...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

ITunes freezing when iPhone plugged into USB

I've had my iPhone since September 08 and never had any problems syncing. Today when I plugged in my (90% charged) iPhone into my computer after adding some music to iTunes the program froze. At first it started to sync but asked if I wanted to update something. Not sure exactly what it was, some type of setting. I said yes and it downloaded whatever that was and did not sync after that. I unplugged the iPhone and replugged it to start the sync. The phone is charging so the USB port is working. I tried restarting the computer and the iPhone, repairing iTunes, different USB ports, and nothing is working. iTunes will function normally until the iPhone is plugged in. Then it freezes.
I at least have a working phone, but I'd really really like to sync.

SWEET RELIEF! i've been having this same problem and its nearly been the death of me (and/or my macbook and/or iphone). the second i connect my iphone to USB, itunes immediately just goes unresponsive/hangs. i've been staring at that freaking swirling rainbow for days. i've gone over every single how-to/troubleshooting/etc. topic in apple support, and gotten exactly nowhere.
but then i found your post, deleted my podcasts, and it was like magic - iphone/itunes sync up and running like clockwork.
my sanity thanks you... TO EVERYONE ELSE HAVING THE SAME PROB - THIS WORKS!!! JUST DELETE WHATEVER PODCASTS/APPS YOU DOWNLOADED FROM YOUR IPHONE, AND PROBLEM SOLVED.
LadyNigelia you're my hero.

Disable Autoplay iPhone plugged into USB Radio

How do you disable AUTOPLAY when plugging an iPhone into a car radio that has USB? I really just want to use the USB at time to charge my phone or start streaming radio. However when plugging in the iPhone to the USB connection starts my iPhone/Music playlist which is not what I want to happen.
Is there any magic while plugging in the phone to the USB port to prevent it from autostarting/playing music from my library?
Thanks!

That's probably a function of your in-car system. I'm not aware of any settings in iOS that would cause this to happen.

I got an iPhone today. The computer that had my iPod music on it is broken. So I am using a new computer. I have both my iPod and iPhone plugged into this computer. How do I make it so my iPod music stays on my iTunes so I can update my iPhone? HELP!

My computer broke and so I am using a new one to update the music on my iPhone I got today. I can't get my music from my iPod touch (that's plugged in at the same time) to stay on this iTunes. I have already authorized it and everything. I just need to be able to unplug my iPod and plug in my iPhone to get my stinkin music on there. Please help! I'm begging!

The ipod is not a backup device. The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases: Without syncing:File>transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

Turning a standard ibook g4 screen into a TV or DvD screen

hey,
I recently helped out in my schools computer lab replacing a latch and LCD monitor on an ibook G4. The old monitor was not broken. It just was warpped not allowing the laptop to close all the way. I was given the screen by my school and it is sitting at home on the work bench. I was wondering how (if possible) to use the screen as a stand alone standard LCD screen, allowing video input. Starting with the basics to convert it, then possibly set it up as a in car DVD player. Any ideas even if it means some electrical work?

sell it on ebay, you could get a couple hundred bucks or more from someone that needs it...

My phone is plugged into the computer and the screen is just an apple with a bar under it, my phone is plugged into the computer and the screen is just an apple with a bar under it

I have no clue what this means and my phone will not do anything!

And when I plug it into my computer it will not show up in itunes

Ok! so i tried updating my ipad 2 software to I.O.S 6.1 and it failed then continued to shut down and put the plug into itunes logo on my screen! I then i have been trying to update and restore my Ipad 2, then it says corrupt file and stops any advice?

This is ridiculous!!!!! Apple Corporation needs to fix what ever went wrong with IOS 6.1 update and they better do it soon or theyre going to have a mob on their hands!! i have been continuosly restoring and updating my iPad 2 and it always says corrupt file then restarts the whole process! im going out of my mind and im about to say to **** with it and call apple themselves and make so many complaints that theyll fix it within the hour or i will go to new york city at the head of the corporation and make the most skeptical and most embarrissing seen that they will end up ashamed to even be working for a company with the supposedly "SMARTEST AND BRIGHTEST TECHNOLOGICAL PEOPLE IN THE U.S." who cant even get a software update correct so that it doesnt make some of our lives harder then they need to be! and if its already known to be corrupt then should take it off the whatever update liost and fix it before anyone else has to go what ive gone through, cause its pure torcher!! i paid good money for a product for easy use whenever and thats not what im getting when they cant even make a simple update thats supposed to help but only makes my product worse and make me wanna never buy from them again!

HT1414 my itunes won't allow me to backup sync or do anything in the devices tab and i have my iphone plugged into the computer

I need awnsers asap?

In order to provide assistance, we need details such as what happens when trying to sync or backup the device.

The screen on my iPhone 4 turned black while i was using it-it was not dropped or damaged in anyway. The phone itself is still working as it comes up in itunes when I plug the phone into my computer, but the screen is completley black. What can I do?

The screen on my iPhone has gone black while I was using it. It just "shut off". The phone is still working as I can hear/see it when it plugs into the computer, but the screen just wont turn on. I've tried the soft reset "holding down home and lock screen" and i've tried to restore settings. I went to the apple store and they said I had to send it to my provider (in another country) but my phone contract has run out.
Is there a way to fix this?
If not, is there some way apple can replace the phone? It's less than 2 years old. Surely the screen shouldn't just give out like that.
Thank you

I have restarted the computer, the IPHONE 4, I have checked for updates, and Have reinstalled Itunes. The Iphone plugged into the usb makes the noise that its charging but nothing else. It does not sync and ITUNES does not recognize its plugged in.

Keeping iphone plugged in to power (laptop or AC) to preserve battery...

I use my Iphone at least 5-7 hours a day. Therefore, my theory is that I should keep the Iphone plugged into USB laptop (or AC--wall) frequently in order to extend the life of the battery. I understand that I need to keep the battery active (give it excercise--so to speak) weekly, but otherwise doesn't it make sense to keep the iphone connected to power (USB or AC) as much as possible. Otherwise I could easily cycle the battery 400x in a single year.
Does anyone agree or disagree? Any personal experience to support or refute my theory?
Thanks much

Yes, it's a good idea not to keep it in the charger all the time, but it's also good not to let the battery completely drain.
