My iphone won't sync properly with my cars built in bluetooth.

My car is equipped with Ford SYNC, and it worked fine with my old Android phone and the previous LG phone I had, but all my iPhone 4S can do is send and receive calls. It can't access other features like bluetooth audio or Pandora. (Pandora is specifically enabled to connedt to Ford SYNC and it worked fine last week with my old phone, so it has to be a problem with my new iPhone). Is there some setting on the iPhone that is not allowing bluetooth to control apps?

Hei Alfred, I set them all up to do the same thing in settings. Ie, using the same icloud account, switching on the icloud account for photos, my photo stream is on, so is photo sharing. The imac and ipad have functioned well all the time. The iphone is newer. I made sure that the iphone had the same settings for photos as the ipad, but no photos have ever gone automatically into icloud from the iphone. I have always had to do it manually. It is the same with my husbands phone and he has had it much longer. He isn't so computer literate, but I'm beginning to doubt myself now!

Contacts on my iphone does not sync properly with icloud.

Contacts on my iphone does not sync properly with icloud. I have merged data with facebook contacts, and this merged information appears as I want it to be on icloud.com. But on the iphone, the facebook contacts and the icloud contact appear separately.
I have tried exporting the contacts out of icloud.com, then deleting all contacts on both icloud.com and on the iphone; then importing the vcard back into icloud.com, but the facebook details still appear as a separate contact. It is too time consuming to merge all of my contacts manually What should I do in order for the iphone to display the contacts as it is on icloud.com?

Is there some sort of Facebook tag on the vCard?

IPhone won't sync properly since upgrading to new iTunes and iOS5

Hi,
I'm having great difficulty syncing my iPhone properly since upgrading to the newest software of both.
Ever since upgrading to iOS5 and the newer iTunes (10.5), my phone will start to sync but then get stuck on 'waiting for items to copy' and most of the time doesn't copy across (or back, depending on what it is). Sometimes if I sync a few times it eventually works, but other times, like at the moment, it won't do it properly. For instance, I've bought a song on my phone but now it won't copy across to the computer, and iTunes on the computer thinks I've already downloaded the song so I can't get it off there. It's incredibly frustrating but it used to work so well!
What can I do to make it sync properly? I was hoping a fix would be in iOS5.0.1 but I upgraded to that yesterday and it still does exactly the same things. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

My iPhone won't sync pictures with iPad and iMac

I have an Imac, an iPad (18 months) and an iphone 4S (2months). All are set up identically with syncing photoes. The Ipad and iMac sync fine, but any pictures I take with the iphone will not sync automatically. Photo stream and sharing is set up on all of them. My husbands iphone is 2 1/2 years old and we have the same problem with that. I am an artist therefore have become dependent on the syncing. Can anyone help

Blackberry Curve won't sync properly with Outlook 2007

Hi
I've searched the forums and can't find the answer to my problem so I wonder if anyone could help.
I keep all my business contacts on Outlook 2007 (there are almost 3,000 of them so I can't wipe them).
Recently, I downloaded the Version 7 of the Blackberry Desktop software. I then got an error message that I searched the forums for and discovered that many others had the same problem. The 'fix' recommended, until Blackberry resolves the issue, was to uninstall version 7 and reinstall version 6. I did this.
Now, however, I can't seem to get my Outlook calendar syncing with my Blackberry, and it keeps syncing the wrong address book. For some reason (goes back to an old desktop upgrade and doing backups - it was a friend who did it and I haven't a clue about such things) I have three different 'sets' of contacts or 'address books' in my Outlook 2007. None of them are syncing.
Basically, I want to have just one set of contacts (i.e., one single address book on my desktop Outlook 2007) and one single calendar, and have both syncing correctly with my Blackberry Curve.
Does anyone have some kind of real 'idiots' guide' to how to do this, please? I've tried doing a search for the correct 'path' etc., but it frankly just confuses me.
Many thanks.

When I've had challenges like this.. and searched and searched for solutions, I eventually contacted my provider who then put mt on to BB support direct... that's when I got an expert on the phone and they sorted it out in no time flat once we went back over exactly what had happened...
That'd be my suggestion.. but then again, my phone was supplied by my povider..
I've got a 9800, so the menus etc are different I guess..
Good luck

Iphone won't sync properly after iOS4.0.1

Hi,
I'm writing here after searching the web and Apple and finding no clue on what's going on
I recently updated my iPhone 3GS to iOS4.0.1 and as a prerequisite I had to upgrade Itunes to 9.2.1.5.
After upgrading both my iPhone OS and Itunes I can't sync anymore!
I can't sync my Contacts/Calendar/Apps/Music/Podcast etc...
I keep getting errors like:
1. Duplicate file name
2. Device timed out
3. can't write to disk
4. File can not be found
Solutions I've tried:
1. Running Diagnostics via iTunes showed everything is working fine.
2. Removed Apple USB controller and re-installed.
3. Made a complete remove of iTunes + QuickTime + Apple software + Apple Mobile and reinstalled iTunes.
4. Did over 20 Restores!!!
5. On the Iphone chose to "erase" everything.
6. on the Info tab, unchecked "Sync Notes".
7. Removing any of iTunes music folders.
Nothing worked! I have a working phone, which I should be grateful for, but I can't sync my music, podcasts or my NIKE runs. I can't even downgrade back to 3.1.3 because it says Apple won't sign the firmware!
I heard that if I "Jailbreak" my device I can downgrade, but I don't want to void my warranty or harm my device.
Can someone please help me?

Try turning your security software off - my laptop running Windows7 and Norton 360 was able to download the iTunes upgrade and work with my iPhone and iPad, whereas my Vista laptop with ZoneAlarm has never let me do an iPhone OS update with ZoneAlarm on, so I turn it off for OS updates. No need to turn it off for synchs after a successful OS update. Btw, I still have not been able to update iTunes on the Vista laptop no matter what I do (turn ZoneAlarm off, download only followed by manual installation of update, etc). Hope this helps!

My iPad won't sync properly with my iTunes.

Hello,
I still have music on my iPad that I have deleted on my iTunes library. I have synced my iPad with my iTunes since deleting the music but it is still in my iPad library. I do not want it on my iPad library. The songs have a cloud symbol with an arrow pointing downwards next to them which I assumes means I can download it from my iCloud. However, I do not want it back from my iCloud I want to get rid of it. How do I do this?
Thanks.

You can never totally remove anything that you have purchased from iTunes, the App Store, or iBooks. Your purchases will always be tied to your Apple ID. You can hide those songs by going to Settings>iTunes and App Store>Show all>Music>Off. You can do the same for videos.
But bear in mind, all that you are doing is hiding the purchases and they will not be downloaded to your device unless you go back to that settings, show the songs again and then tap the cloud to download them to the iPad.

HT1386 iPhone won't sync with iTunes. 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

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.

My iPhone 5 ios7, won't sync music with itunes 11.1.2.32

My iPhone 5 ios7.0.3, won't sync music with itunes 11.1.2.32.
The Sync starts and finsihes but no changes are made to the content on the iphone. No files transfer. Tried both wifi and cable sync.

Sorry, but this doesn't work either. Thank you for the response though.
I originally tried the Manually Manage Music and Videos and even though I selected what I wanted to copy and then clicked the Sync button.....nothing gets copied over. I then tried copying over my entire library (and I expected the phone to explode since my library is HUGE) and clicked the Sync button....nothing got copied over.
I have uninstalled iTunes, reinstalled iTunes (and lost half my library thank you Apple).
I have deleted my iPhone backup.
I have updated my iTunes (not that there were any new updates).
I have updated my iPhone (not that there were any new updates).
I have changed and tested every single setting, every which way possible and NOTHING works.
I can sync movies, pictures, apps - no problem whatsoever. But music? Forget it.
I hate the iPhone and I won't recommend it to ANYONE. All I wanted was an all-in-one device to make my life easier and this is NOT IT! This should not be this hard and as far as I'm concerned, Apple failed BIG TIME.

IPhone won't sync with iTunes. Help?

iPhone won't sync with iTunes. It just says, "waiting for sync to start." But no matter how long I leave it like that, it never syncs. Wirelessly or via USB. I have restarted both my computer and my phone. I have deleted and reinstalled iTunes. I have installed the latest version of iTunes and the software on my phone is up to date. Nothing seems to work.
Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

I found this on another thread --
Keep your iphone connected. Quit iTunes. Reopen iTunes. Sync begins automatically. It worked for me and several others who had already followed the advice.
So easy.

Just replace my HD, restored from backup but now my iPhone won't sync with iTunes over wifi

Is synching over wi-fi viable? I've never done it, but when I tried something similar back in the old Palm PDA days, it was S-L-O-W, slow as molasses. I realize that the i-device are far more modern with faster processors, but wondering whether it's even worth exploring doing this.
