My iphone 6 appears to be incompatible with my Volkswagen Passat sound dock

I've tried a 30 pin to 3.5 connector and a 30 pin to lightning connector and neither work. I was using a 30 pin male/female connector with an iphone 4s and it worked well. Is there a problem with the new phone?

Howdy Cgee1146,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Congratulations on the new iPhone 6. I understand the frustration regarding interoperability issues when using devices made by separate manufacturers, but the article linked below provides a lot of great troubleshooting suggestions that may be able to resolve the car stereo connection issue with your new iOS device.

Newest version of universal dock appears to be incompatible with my ipod Classic 120 gb. Remote does nothing

I purchased from Apple, a new universal dock with remote (MC746LL/A) along with the proper dock adapter for my ipod Classic 120. According to Apple the dock works with any ipod with a dock and adapter.. The remote does absolutely nothing despite a brand new battery. The only reason I purchased this pricey accessory was to have an additional ipod station with a remote. I could have saved a ton of money if I didn't care about a sensor on front of the unit. Any thoughts.

You are in exactly the same boat as I. I have the same problem. I posted a query on this forum too but no help came forth. Looks like Apple could be blocking replies to iPod Classic issues since it withdrew the product. Amazing company. But incase anyone can still access this query, please help. It will help two customers of Apple if not more.
Awaiting help !!

My iPhone 4S is no longer compatible with my Sony ICF-DS15iP dock since updating to iOS7.1.1

Since updating to iOS 7.1.1 my iPhone 4S (16GB) is no longer compatible with the Sony audio dock.
How can I fix this ? it was working before updating my phone.
Thanks for your reply

Try restoring the iPhone ,it may be corrupted iOS installation

I purchased books from iTunes and my iPhone 3G is incompatible with iBooks. What do I do?

I don't know what to do! I purchased a few books on iTunes and I found out afterwards that you can use only iBooks to read the books. My iPhone is 3G and therefore incompatible with iBooks. What do I do? I want to read my books, but it doesn't seem possible. HELP!

Your phone is jailbroken. You can not get help here.

IPhone 3G update to 3.0 with repeated 1013 errors - now bricked iPhone! ;-(

Attempting to update an iPhone 3G to 3.0 from 2.2.1 and it's now a brick.
Note that I've tried this now from THREE different computers, two macs and one windows box with identical results. I've uninstalled iTunes on the windows box before doing the update attempt.
The error message is "1013" which also takes you to this highly uninformative page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275.
Ok, the USB cables and ports on three computers see the same problem error. So it's either the iPhone itself or iTunes 8.2 (23) or both.
Digging a bit deeper I found that there is a log file kept on the mac. Change to this directory from your home directory "~/Library/Logs/iPhone Updater Logs/" where you'll find one "iPhoneUpdater N.log" file for each attempt to update that you've done.
When the error occurs Apple asks if I want to send the info to them! YES!!! Make sure you do so that they can sort this out.
Ok, looking in this log file (I won't dump it all here) you can see a number of errors. The end of the log file shows:

2009-06-17 23:39:44.000 iTunes124:20b: iTunes: Restore error 1013
Clearly there are some problems. Earlier in the log file it had problems updating a number of files.
Now I've tried this "Connect your iPhone to the computer. press and hold sleep and home, and as soon screen goes blank, count off 5 seconds, then let go of sleep and keep holding home." That didn't change anything. sigh.
It's almost as if this particular version of the iPhone that I have is incompatible with the current iPhone 3.0 operating system components. Maybe there is a bad driver? Hmmm....
Ok, here is another error in the log file.
Loading FLS file /usr/local/standalone/firmware/ICE2_04.26.08.fls...OK

So clearly the file "/usr/local/standalone/firmware/ICE2_04.26.08.fls" isn't transferred properly! Something is amiss somewhere...
Could it really be that it can't download the update file to the iPhone due to USB problems? Surely Apple has access to fault tolerant file transfer protocols they can use?
Sigh... now I'm without my primary phone... grrrr... arrrrg... should have waited....
Apple maybe you could learn something about "ACID TRANSACTIONS" and include them into the update process to guarantee either 100% success or 100% abort rollback?
I don't know if this is relevant but now in iTunes on the iPhone page it no longer shows any values at all for the "name, capacity, software version or serial number" fields which is kind of spooky. Does this mean that I need to take the phone in for service? Is it permanently toast?

Just visitied the Apple Store in Vancouver and wasn't allowed in! They had a wall of orange shirts AND two mall SECURITY guards preventing people from entering UNLESS you were there to purchase a new iPhone 3GS!
The orange shirt gave me grief refusing to allow me to see a service person! So I asked to speak to his manager. Matt showed up and read me the same riot act of BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! They claimed it was the first day since they opened that they closed their Genius Bar!
The fact remains that it was APPLE's Update that bricked my iPhone that I depend upon.
So the manager went off to get his boss when I asked him too. I think he was just glad to get away from a rational insistent customer spoiling their wonderful happy Apple day selling new phones.
So a non-technician showed up and offered to take my phone into the store and try to update it. She lied. She returned to tell me that my warranty was expired due to the "water litmus" paper being RED. ***? You've got to be kidding! I've NEVER had it anywhere near water! The lie was that she didn't actually try to connect it and that she was going to secretly find out if my warranty was void. Not what I call informed consent.
So I asked her to check and try updating the phone anyway and off she trundled. Less than no time she returned telling me that my iPhone couldn't be seen by three of their computers! ***! It was working on my three computers at home!
In fact as I type this it's running another update this moment. About 3/4 done.
So now Apple's Update Bricked my iPhone which was working perfectly without any problems. If they hadn't brought their update out the phone would still be working just great!
Needless to say I'm extremely annoyed yet composed (for the moment).
So my options at this point seem to be to (1) replace the phone for ~260.00 CAD or (2) upgrade to a 3GS for an indeterminate amount if FIDO permits it, or (3) hope that Apple home base gets their act together with a new iTunes update which can at least get the phone working again, (4) toss the phone off a bridge, (5) sue Apple and FIDO for their negligence in providing faulty software updates that bricked the phone. Grrr... Arrrggg....
Oh, it just failed the update again! At least it can be seen by my computers (two mac and one vista box).
Ok, now what...
CHECK YOUR iPhone warranty voided strips to see if they are RED/PINK! If it's only iPhones with RED that are the problem then maybe that's the cause. HOWEVER, if even ONE iPhone has this problem and it's not got a RED water strip then it's conclusive that the problem is elsewhere - basic diagnostic process and rock solid logic. Please check your RED WARRANTY VOIDED STRIPS and let me know here... you check them with a flash light at the bottom of your iPhone in the slot where the SIMM card is and where the dock/cable connector goes in. Shin the light into there and move the phone or the light about till you see either a 1/4 inch long strip - RED/PINK means you Apple won't honor your warranty or their craftsmanship.
Ok... now to find out how much it will cost to upgrade to a 3GS on the FIDO plan. Sigh. Grrr... arrrggggg....

ITunes is incompatible with Acer PCs, can I get a refund on my iPhone 4S and buy a Galaxy instead?

Ten days ago I signed a contract with Sprint for the 4S iPhone and Apple Care Plus through Radioshack. I also bought a $25 gift card to spend on iTunes Match.
When I got home to use it, and iTunes, I found that iTunes crashes within seconds of opening. Every time, guaranteed. I went through the usual steps recommended on these forums of checking for updates, turning off firewalls, restarting Windows, checking for viruses, uninstalling and reinstalling, running as administrator, pressing shift when opening, etc. No luck.
I went to the Apple store, and to my surprise, they claim iTunes is a whole seperate brand from Apple computers they know nothing about (I guess like how Ford and Lincoln are two seperate companies). Despite my expensive warranty, and the 4S not being remotely as usuable without iTunes (yes, I can still use it as a phone, and listen to Pandora, but I was really hoping to have MY collection of music and photos on it), theres nothing the Apple store would do. They recommended online support, but that breaks down to two options, these forums, and a paid (per minute?) "ExpressLane". According to Radioshack, that Express Lane is free with the Apple Care+ however, I'm afraid, if Apple Inc. considers iTunes a seperate company and service than the 4S, I will be charged a ton of money because technically my issue is with iTunes not the 4S hardware.
Nevertheless, at least at any cost someone on ExpressLane might be able to fix iTunes. But before I tried, I discovered that the problem is literally unfixable.
I discovered this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3224128
Like a dozen people, all with the same Acer Aspire, and assuming by their claims of 1.0Ghz dual core AMD, the exact same netbook model I have. The same problem. (Only they have been able to use the rest of iTunes, just not some feature.) They claim theyve been able to get iTunes running by turning off something called Genius. But I can't seem to do anything fast enough from the time I click the iTunes icon on the desktop to the time it crashes.
If iTunes, one of the biggest features of iPhones, is incompatible with Acer PCs, and my only option is to buy a whole new computer, don't I deserve a refund?
Who would I take it up with? The Apple store was kinda rude. Should I complain to Sprint stores, or to Radioshack? Or Express Lane? Who is responsible for a refund? How does Apple get away with not addressing an issue that affects one of the most popular lower price brands of computers? I don't suppose Acers are all that rare considering their price, they seem to be the PC of choice at Targets, Sears, Kmart, Walmart, etc.

If you want to return your iPhone, you must do so through whoever you purchased the iPhone from. If that was someone other than an Apple Store, either online or physical, then that dealer's return policies will apply; Apple will have nothing to say about it. You may have to talk to Sprint in regards to your contract with them. I believe you have 30 days to return your phone and cancel your contract, but I'm not certain about Sprint.
iTunes works fine under Windows on many, many systems, including Acer. Perhaps if you'll post details here, someone can help you sort things out. The thread you refer discusses an earlier version of iTunes and probably no longer applies even if that were the problem on your system, though I cannot say with certainty. Note that if you are running Windows 7 Starter on your netbook, that version is reported to have problems with a lot of software, not just iTunes. Many people have installed and run iTunes quite successfully, though.
they claim iTunes is a whole seperate brand from Apple computers they know nothing about
I don't know who you talked to, but either there was a misunderstanding - the statement would apply perhaps to the iTunes Store, but not to iTunes as a program - or that person was an idiot. iTunes, the program, is most definitely an Apple product and should be supported fully by the Apple Store technical staff.

This is almost always a symptom of a phone that was jailbroken or hacked to unlock it.

IMessages to an iPhone occasionally appears with words cut off from end

When sending texts from iMessages to an iPhone, the text occasionally appears on their iPhone with a couple words cut off from the end. It appears fine in the iMessages display/history.   Here's a few things I've noticed:
- It's repeatable. For example, the following message always causes the issue: "man, why are you here? Two are in testing places". On the iPhone it appears as "man, why are you here? Two are in testing".
- It's a problem with iMessages. If I send the exact same text from the iPhone, it goes through just fine. The message has to originate from MacOS iMessages. (I'm using the latest Mountain Lion and all updates as of 12/21/12)
- The full message is actually being successfully transferred to the phone; it just does not display correctly. There are two pieces of evidence for this. If on the iPhone, the user copies the truncated message and pastes it somewhere else, the full message is pasted! Moreover, on the top level the messages app (where you see the last message from all the recent people you texted with), the full message displays.
- It can happen with both short and longer messages.   Here's another longer message I noticed got cut off: "That's funny that you though I was joking when I said I was debugging. Why is that so weird?"
- It has something to do with the length of the message or how it is being wrapped. I can create modifications of those texts with the same length, and they will cut off. (That said, some modifications will not cause the problem, so it's more than just length. Maybe it has something to do with how it wraps the words?) Usually adding a few words to the message will allow it to go through.
- It always cuts off at a space. In other words, it will not truncate something in the middle of a word.
- I have only seen it cut off one or two words before.
Apple really needs to make this a high priority fix. Unreliable messaging of this sort is a deal-breaker for iMessages, IMO. My guess is that they haven't had more reports for this because people simply don't notice unless the last word or two totally ruins the meaning of a text and the other person points it out.
Can people try to recreate this on their machines? If so, please do so and file a bug report (http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html). All you have to do is get on your iMessage app and text one of those two messages to your phone. If it appears truncated on your phone, you've confirmed it. You're welcome to use any of my post in any bug report.

Hi,
some entries had ¬†¬† (tabs probably)
I had seen these in Quicklook at the point where the Message appeared to show double spaces after a Full Stop or Question Mark.
You are right that it have not dawned on me that I had not seen them between words.
It was TextEdit as well (Not sure why I said QuickLook)

Part of this means the iMessages sent out.
The "repeat" is the sync back from the the ID the iPhone is using.
I am presuming the leading numbers are the iMessage identifier that iMessages uses to tell whether it has been Synced
Messages on the Mac is trying to enclose this in Coloured Balloon (or other style) and lists a Font and it's colour

It is unlikely to be the Tab key as this changes Fields in Messages (From Text Entry spot, to Search spot, to the "To" spot.)

When downloading updates from iTunes to my iPhone my playlists appear in reverse order with least played at the top. I just want the playlist to appear in the same order as my iTunes library. This seems to have changed after downloading iCloud

When dowloading updates from my iTunes library onto my iPhone
my playlists appear in reverse order with the least played at the top of the list
and most played at the end on the playlist.
Therefore I cant play my favourites in the order that I like to hear them.
This all changed when I recently downloaded the iCloud application.

Hi Jim,
Is this temporary cache accessing my data when I play songs from it? As I mentioned in my previous post, I'm still able to listen to these songs even when my phone is in airplane mode and the download icon is still present next to said songs. This implies that the songs are already downloaded onto my phone even if I didn't opt to download them directly from the cloud -- they're on my phone because my phone was shuffling my library on a wifi network.

HT1386 I've encountered a problem while synching my entire library. After synching I've noticed that only half of my library is playable on my iPhone. And a red circle with a Stop button appears next to the songs that didn't sync. Why is this happening?

There were frequent purple line appear on photo taken with my iPhone 5 camera, is this the defect of product?

there were frequent purple line appear on photo taken with my iPhone 5 camera, is this the defect of product?

So it looks like I ran out of AppleCare two weeks ago, what a shame. I guess it's not worth $260 to receive a new handset simply for a dusty camera. However this is still annoying due to the fact that the phone shouldn't have dust behind the lens anyway. I think this situation is a bit unfair since this is a malfuntion of hardware and it is also disappointing that so many people have this problem with the iPhone 5 in particular. :X
Thanks for your help though Templeton!
