Loud, obnoxious, intermittent iPhone feedback. Help!
I have experienced the following both when using my iphone with a tape adapter in my car, as well as when it is sitting near my house speakers.
In the car, I will have the phone plugged into the adapter, listening to music, when all of a sudden this ear-piercing, shocking static-like shriek comes out of the speakers. It isn't just a bit of static...it's really, REALLY loud and has prevented me from using the iPhone in the car until now.
I'm interested in picking up some type of FM transmitter, but want to hold off until I know if it will suffer the same problem.
Can somebody help? I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere...I looked but couldn't find anything specific to my problem.
Cheers,
Tyler
Yes, unfortunately, this is completely normal. I have issues with it too.
Other than the obvious options (keep the iPhone away from speakers, get better speakers, Airplane Mode, etc.), pretty much the only thing you can do is to get a metal iPhone case that at least partially covers the top edge of the phone. This can increase shielding. (BoxWave's Armor Case is one such case. http://www.boxwave.com/products/armorcase/armor-case-apple-iphone_2661.htm )
In my experience, most silicon, leather, and plastic cases do not really provide any shielding whatsoever against GSM interference. This may sound a little silly, but you'll need to remember that "just because a case is shiny doesn't mean it's really metal."

I was reading through the iPhone>Phone forum and I noticed a couple of posts requesting if anyone knew where to leave feedback for Apple in regards to the iPhone and when I went to check on the http://www.apple.com/feedback/ page for a link to post for them I was surprised to find it still is not there.
Is this something that normally takes awhile after the release of a product to have a feedback link posted there?
It didn't make sense to me that it wasn't there with such a huge product release as this. I assume one could post feedback for the iPhone to the iPod feedback link but that seemed rather confusing and not really appropriate for the seperate product of the iPhone.
Anyone know what's up with that?
regards,
littleshoulders [:-)Good call, littleshoulders. I've been hoping that one would show up soon, too ...
If I recall correctly, it took a wee while before the Apple TV feedback form showed up (after the Apple TV went on sale). Fingers crossed, It'll just be a short delay with an iPhone feedback form.
It maaaaaay also be of some help if we submit a feedback request for a product feedback form. Thinking that the Apple.com feedback form might be the best one for that:

iPhone won't sync with iTunes and It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do. I tried everything!
I need to add my music to my iPhone from iTunes but its not working!First off try and go into your IPhone manually through My Computer and cut photos or anything you can through the device to be able to free space up so that you can continue to do what you want to do with ITunes. This way you will be able to create a backup or do what you have to do to manage your information, photos and texts on your device a little better.

Things I delete on my Mac are still on my iPhone. HELP! Deleting in both places is so time consuming. It has worked until recently...not sure what changed!
Your email provider may have changed certain settings to do with deleting from server when deleting from client so that it no longer works. Are you using pop or imap? If pop then recreate the account using imap.

On my iPhone, I have songs from a CD that I bought and no longer have. I now have a new computer and it is telling me that to move songs that I only have on my computer, I must erase all of the music from my iPhone (It also says that my phone is already synced with another computer so it has to download everything). I would like to keep all of the music on my Phone and still be able to have these songs from my computer on my iPhone. Help!
The iPhone is not a storage device. iPhone is designed to sync with 1 computer and
iPhone sync only one way computer -> iPhone except content bought from iTunes.

Intermittently iphone 6 and 6 plus is wifi connected but internet does not work.
Hi,
I have an issue where intermittently iphone 6 and 6 plus is wifi connected but internet does not work. iMessage works though. Toggling the wifi setting clears
the issue temporarily but it occurs again. Running iOS 8.3 now. This was the case on iOS 8.1 and 8.2 as well.
I have tried the typical troubleshooting steps (reboot/reset network settings/disabling location services for wifi/upgrade/etc)
My router is an EA9200 router with 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz. It is configured with all bands with the same name.
All other devices in my house works perfectly fine and has no disconnects (ipad/macbook air/tv's/receivers)
My thought is that iphone 6 cannot handle well the moving around between bands.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
DavidHave you tried to reboot your router by turning off the power (you may have to unplug it from the power source), then waiting about 30 seconds, then turning it back on? This seems to solve a lot of problems.

you can turn off the magnifying glass :

you can deactivate the "reset to Hub view" :
hub >> overflow (bottom right button) >> Settings >> Display and actions >> Return to Default View When Idle >> OFF

Since I d/loaded iCloud I can't sync my MacBook to my iPhone,,,,please help.
Video podcasts have to be in SD format, not HD. Make sure you select the proper version for your touch. If you still have problems, you can click on the podcast in iTunes and select Advanced > Create an iPod or iPhone Version. That should convert the video into something that can be played.
As far as syncing audio podcasts (I do this for video as well), I use the simple is better approach. I set iTunes to sync all unplayed podcasts and I set each podcast in iTunes to automatically delete played podcasts. The iPod is clean; iTunes is clean. -
