No Sound - Accessory Connected Issue

I synced my iphone 2g after updating the following apps: Dictionary!, Bump, Build-a-lot Lite and Google Mobile App. Now I notice there is no sound besides the ring tone and going to ipod mode shows the "Accessory Connected" screen. Any idea what's going on?

I read a lot, I mean ALOT of posts, and there is a definite trend towards Verizon's phones doing it, Don't get me wrong, there are all vendor phones that do this
Please resolve the post, OK?

IOS4.1 introduced problem with accessory connection Nissan

My 2010 Nissan Versa has a factory radio with an iPod port. The iOS4.0-4.02 versions worked fine with this port. I'd get a single popup on the phone when I plugged it in, warning about 3g interference, and then I'd have full control of the "ipod" app via the car's audio controls and iphone audio was routed to the car audio system. The iPhone would display "accessory connected" when switching to the ipod app.
Now, with iOS4.1, the popup pops up endlessly, and the car audio keeps trying and failing to link up to the ipod app on the iPhone. You broke my car iPod connection in iOS4.1
Bummer. Just FYI, I suppose, but it would be nifty if this regression could be fixed in a future version.

iOS 4.1 has caused problems with my iPhone 3G's ability to communicate to my 2010 Nissan Cube as well. Navigating through the music menus ends up being very sluggish. Then I can play a track, but partway through it will sound like it's a CD that skips due to going over a big bump. Then it will just stop playing and then only way to get back to music from the iPhone is to toggle the car stereo to FM or CD and then back to iPod. Then it will start messing up again within a few moments. It's so bad that it's not even worth trying to play music from the iPhone.
To be honest, I've never been very happy with how the iPhone interfaces with my Cube. It works great with my iPod Touch, but the iPhone and the Cube don't always play well together.
I was at the Nissan dealer today and they hadn't heard about this issue and checked to see if there were any software updates on their end, but there aren't any.
Please Apple... fix this!

Sound and connection problems

Hello.
I own a Ipod Touch 16gb, purchased January last year (i believe it's 2nd gen).
The iPod had worked fine for almost a year until the problems started, at first it would just freeze in 30min-1hour, and then work fine again. But in January (2010) the problems got serious. It started with that the iPod would play sounds and being very slow when trying to play. The only sound there came out of it (both speaker and headphones) where scratching sounds in a very low volume. To hopefully solve the problems i connected the iPod to my Windows computer (which it's syncronized with). The computer reconised that a USB item was connected (the "dong" sound) but iTunes didn't.
Therefor i choose the reset the iPod completeley and delete everything on it.
This worked until now, where the problems has occured again.
The first time the iPod showed problems in January (2010) it was send to Apple, where it was checked for flaws (both hardware and software), but nothing was found.
Currentley im reseting the iPod once again in hope of getting it normal, but im afraid it will happend again.
Any ideas of what the problem is, and how it could be solved?.
Kind Regards
Mathias Brix

Howdy Klausn79,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’re running into a Bluetooth connection issue since upgrading your iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1. The interoperability of devices manufactured by different companies can sometimes be frustrating. Try taking a look at the two articles below, they will resolve most issues like the one you described.

My MacBook Air has recently started having substantial WiFi connectivity issues. How do I fix this?

For the last couple weeks my MacBook Air has started having some mighty substantial connectivity issues.
When I wake it from sleep, or if I'm using it for an extended period (say, more than 5-10 minutes), the connection will become extremely unreliable. This primarily happens with browsers, or the Twitter application. For example, if I start a call on Skype the call will continue to function just fine, but I won't be able to connect to any websites through any browser. I've tried Safari, Chrome, and Firefox while the connectivity problems are occuring. When they do occur, a full shut down and cold boot are required to make it work again for a short while.
Does anyone know what might be causing this? I've done numerous checks for malware using Clam Xav and Sophos Anti-Virus. (I didn't suspect that this would be the issue, but it was still something that I decided to rule out.) Additionally, I've tried connecting using both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands on my wireless router. Neither seems to be more successful than the other. (Note: The 5GHz works perfectly and without interruption on my iPad and desktop PC. The 2.4GHz works perfectly with my iPhone 4S and Xbox 360. I feel that with that in mind, I can safely rule out the router as the root of the problem. Both of these examples go on for very extended periods of time. I game regularly using both my PC and Xbox 360.)

Hi Jollified,
Does your sound work when you try to use head/earphones? If so, try the following:
Plug your Headphones into your Mac.
Play a sound through them (a song for example), then stop the sound.
Make sure 'Preferences' is isn't open. If it is, Quit.
Launch System Preferences > Sounds.
While the Sounds tab is open and set to 'Headphones', pull out the Headphones from the jack.
You should see your Mac reset to 'Internal Speakers'
Also, I see you have tried resetting the PRAM, have you tried resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)? Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support
As for your MacBook not sleeping when you close the lid, there are many reasons this can occur.
First of all, check out Apples article on the issue: OS X Yosemite: If your Mac won’t go to or stay in sleep If you find these steps don't help, try a few of the following:
A common cause for the Mac not sleeping is your printer. If there are queued jobs waiting to be printed, but your printer is switched off, for some reason you Mac just wont like it and simply will not go to sleep. System Preferences > Print and Scan > Open Print Queue
Do you have an Ethernet Cable connected? People have reported in the past that removing their Ethernet allowed their Mac to sleep. This goes for other things you may have connected directly to your Mac also.
Try heading into your Mac Preferences > Sharing and deselecting 'Internet Sharing' as well as 'Printer Sharing'.
Also deselect Wake For Network Access by heading to System Preferences > Energy Saver > Power Adapter > Wake For Network Access.
Energy Saver > Schedule > Startup or Wake - Uncheck.
Alternatively, set your system preferences to Never Sleep, and put into Sleep manually: System Preferences > Energy Saver > Computer Sleep > Never.
Good luck!

Why does my 3GS get stuck at the "accessory connected" screen when I connect it to my car via USB?

I realize that the old app is now the music app. I dislike this new app, because an old function is now gone
With iOS 4.3.5, I used to be able to use the the USB hub in my car to charge my iPhone 3GS. It would show the screen that says accessory connected (with the image of an iPod), and then after a few seconds, it would select Hands Free Mode (connect through Bluetooth), and I could browse my music/playlists/etc. Now when I connect my iPhone to my car via the dock connector, all it does is stay at the screen which displays an image of an iPod, and the only action that I have available to me is to choose between dock connector And hands free. I choose hands free, but still, I am no longer free to select which music I want to have playing.
When I disconnect the phone from the USB connection, I am free to select my music, but I must leave it disconnected, because when I reconnect it, the music stops playing, and it goes back to that screen. There isn't even a clear way to get music to start playing on the phone when it is stuck on that screen.
Can the functionality of the music app be restored to that of the old app? I drive a lot, so I charge my phone through the USB connection in my car, and my phone is also my source of music, through the Bluetooth connection (as previously stated). I can no longer charge my phone and select/play music as I once could with 4.3.5 and the iPod application. I don't see anything that i can do from a user's standpoint, however, of anyone can help with this very specific issue, it would be much appreciated.

Try resetting the phone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
Seems too early for an iPhone battery to fail. If the problem persists Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Ipod connection issues with itunes

i know, i am the one-thousandth person to write in about a connection issue, but i just bought a 8gb nano. my pc is recognizing the ipod, but itunes does not automatically start.
instead, if i manually try to start up itunes, it either doesn't start at all, or when it does, it immediately locks up. or it will try as hard as it can to sync and then locks up.
once i disconnect the ipod from the usb port, itunes will come back to life. i have done EVERYTHING the support pages say, reinstalled itunes, dumped temp files, stopped conflicting software...everything short of sending in the new ipod to be serviced. please if you have run into this particular problem and/or you know how to fix this issue, please respond
i don't really want to send a brand-freaking-new ipod off to be serviced b/c i think this is a software issue.

Hello lalajamjam,
It sounds like you've done a rather good job of troubleshooting already. Other than testing to see if the issue is user-specific per ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717 ) and possibly testing the Nano on another computer, there are few additional steps to try prior to getting it serviced.

BT Connection Issue

I've recently moved home and have transferred my BT connection, however I cannot get a broadband connection.
I've tried both the BT homehub (HH3) and my original router (Netlink) and neither can connect. I've changed the cable connecting the filter to the router and different ADSL filters.
I've gone through the connection issue checklist and have checked the line using the online option (no fault detected). There are no faults detected in my area and I do not use McAfee.
I've tried both my original username and password and the default one.
The broadband helpline number (0800 111 4567) just leads me in circles, referring me back to the order confirmation menu (order completed on the 23rd).
Is there something obvious I'm missing, or do I need to try harder to get hold of BT?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It does sound like an authentication or misconfiguratuion somewhere, but there is nothing I can do as BT customer.
If you would like to contact one of the UK based BT Care Team who moderate this forum, they should be able to find the problem.
They can be contacted using this link BT Care Team
They normally respond by phone or e-mail, within three working days, however you should get an immediate confirmation, with a tracking number.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

IPad 2 is having connectivity issues since I updated to 8.0.2

My IPad 2 had connectivity for about 6 hours after I downloaded 8.0.2 last Saturday. Sunday morning I was back to NO SERVICE in the upper left hand corner. Yesterday I went to the Apple Store and they showed me how to reset the cellular data, and again I had my 3G back for 6 hours. Last night and again today we were back to NO SERVICE. Again I went to the Apple Store and they explained that there were a few phone models that were having cellular connectivity issues, but not IPads. Well, that's bunk, since I see the complaints that are exactly like mine all over the web. The Apple Store wiped my IPad clean and told me that if this is a software issue this should fix the problem. If this is a hardware issue then I will need to buy a new IPad.
Apple needs to own up to the problems that it caused with our devices. AT LEAST, we should be able to take the updates off of our IPads and go back to 7.0.

Jaybird headphones and Macbook Pro Retina bluetooth connectivity issues

I recently purchased the Jaybird Bluebuds X Premium headphones and for awhile it would connect to my new Macbook Pro Retina 15'' via bluetooth, but now it doesn't anymore. The headphones connect just fine to my phone (iPhone 4S), and other Macbook Pros (not retina), but they do not connect to other Macbook Pro Retinas. I was wondering if this was a connectivity issue with Macbook Pro Retinas and if so how can I get around it to connect the headphones again?
Thanks

Hey there LongHorn16,
It sounds like your Bluetooth headphones aren't working with this one computer, but there is no issue with other devices that you have. I would start with these 2 steps from the following article:
Restart your computer
Sometimes a simple restart of your Mac is all it takes to get things running smoothly again. You may also want to try resetting your computer's PRAM and NVRAM.
Reset your Bluetooth device
Try turning your device off and then on again. If that doesn't resolve the issue, see if you can reset your device—refer to the documentation that came with your device for instructions.
Bluetooth Quick Assist
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1153
If it still doesn't work, then I would next use this article to remove the device:
Bluetooth: How to Delete a Paired Device
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27116
Then restart your computer and pair it again:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

IChat video connection issue, not related to router

I received a brand new 20" iMac Core 2 Duo just yesterday and intended to use iChat AV to video conference with my girlfriend, who has a 12" iBook G4 1.2GHz with an iSight and all system software up-to-date.
We both have DSL connections at home. We also both have wireless routers. The very first time we tried a video conference, it worked perfectly without a hiccup and everything just looked and sounded wonderful. At the time, she was connected wirelessly and I was connected both wirelessly and through Ethernet to my router's local network.
The second time we tried it (only a few hours later), seemingly without having changed any settings, it failed to work, and hasn't worked since. At first, we would get Error -22, saying something about how bandwidth is insufficient to maintain a video conference. However, I do not believe bandwidth is the real issue since all other network/internet tasks on both ends are spiffy as usual. We also both tried turning off Airport and just connecting through Ethernet to our routers' local network. Same problem.
To then determine if the problem was with one our routers, we both set them aside and plugged our DSL modems directly into our computers and connected to the internet with PPPoE. This appears to partially fix the problem: we are able to initiate a video conference, we both have audio, I can see her, but she can't see me; sort of a one-sided conference. On my screen, the image of myself freezes as soon as the conference is initiated. So unless I'm missing something, the ultimate cause of this problem doesn't appear to be the routers.
You can bet I tried a bunch of the common tips mentioned in this discussion forum before posting this question, such as changing the iChat port in the preferences, turning off Firewalls in the Sharing preferences and changing Quicktime streaming speed.
In summary, it worked once and hasn't worked since, and routers do not appear to be the cause of the issue. Does anyone have any further advice for me? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
iMac 20" Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16GHz Mac OS X (10.4.7)

First off I want to thank James for his willingness to help me test connections today. James has suggested I check into upping my Mother's connection. I will definitely look into that.
I wanted to update the thread that I tried the three test accounts at Apple (appleu3test01-3) and had success from all three on my home computer via my wireless configuration no less. This is what stumps me about my connection issues with my Mother - we can both connect to others but between us we get error -8's since iChat 3. I also find it odd that this is happening even though we are both Earthlink customers - I would chalk it up to routing tables or something if we were on different ISP's.

HT204291 Apple TV (3rd) to iPad 4 Air Play Connection issues

When I come home and want to connect my iPad to my Apple TV via Air Play I have to turn the iPad COMPLETELY OFF and then back on again, is there an easier way to have them recognize each other? They are on the same network. they both get internet just fine (netflix runs) they just won't talk to each other.

Sounds like an issue with the local network. Make sure router is up to date. I assume iPad and ATV are on latest firmware. Placement of router in relation to ATV can also be factor.

Message "Accessory connected" when connecting to my car audio

Hi,
I bought a new iPod Touch recently but haven't tried connecting it to my car audio through the car's USB interface. When I tried connecting it to my car audio, the iPod interface vanished and a screen with "Accessory connected" appeared and it is simply impossible to get out of this interface. Also, my car's displays "Load" with an "iPod" indicator but doesn't seem to play the music. I read in the discussion forum that pressing the "Home" key would bring up the iPod screen which is correct, but the moment I tap on the "Music" option, the iPod again brings up the "Accessory connected' screen. I'm connecting my iPod to my Honda City car audio and the iPod Touch version is 4.1.
Has anyone had similar issues with interfacing iPod Touch with their car audio system?
TIA
Best Regards
Ramanujam

Hi Ramanujam,
It's possible that your car audio system offers the functionality of a "2-way mode" (ie: allowing you to operate via either the iPod itself or the head unit of the car audio system). Check your car audio manual, and switch the controlling terminal from "headunit mode" to "iPod mode" for iPod playback. Once in "iPod mode", you should find that your iPod's menu should operate as normal.
I'm not familiar with the audio system in your Honda City, however, by example, pressing & holding the "back" key on a JVC headunit will switch between playback modes.
If this solution is not successful, try connecting your ipod via the USB interface while holding the iPod in a "landscape mode" (ie: sideways). You may find that you have limited functionality & can scroll through album covers in order to make song selections. NB: Be sure to hold your iPod in a landscape mode before connecting, rather than connecting the iPod in a "portrait mode" and then rotating the device 90 degrees.
Wishing you luck,
Malcolm

DAC Server to DB Server Connection issue on Solaris 10

Hi,
I have a connection issue that has me completely miffed as to what is going on.
We have a Oracle DAC Server running on Solaris 10 that connects to the DAC repository inside a database on another host also running on Solaris 10. When I try and build a DAC execution plan I get an error where I unable to complete the build due to by repository connection being lost. Looking at the DAC logs you can see multiple entries of
32231 INFO Tue Oct 15 10:04:05 BST 2013 CONNECTION_ISSUE Repository ending polling
32232 INFO Tue Oct 15 10:09:05 BST 2013 CONNECTION_ISSUE Repository ending polling
32233 INFO Tue Oct 15 10:14:05 BST 2013 CONNECTION_ISSUE Repository ending polling
32234 INFO Tue Oct 15 10:19:05 BST 2013 CONNECTION_ISSUE Repository ending polling
32235 INFO Tue Oct 15 10:24:05 BST 2013 CONNECTION_ISSUE Repository ending polling
Then eventually you see connection lost.
When I check the DB host using dmesg I notice the following entry over and over
Oct 15 11:00:53 v10emsu101 nxge: [ID 339653 kern.notice] NOTICE: nxge3: xcvr addr:0x0a - link is up 1000 Mbps full duplex

There is no entry for the link going down just up all the time. The timing in the logs match with the DAC logs which makes my think this is where the issue may lie.

nxge3           link: up        speed: 1000 Mbps       duplex: full
Does anyone have any idea on why this keeps occurring or can it safely be ignored?

Did you find a solution to your problem? It sounds like something we are experiencing.

HT6065 wi-fi connection issues - STILL?

For almost a year - I have been trying to troubleshoot wi-fi connection issues on my Mac Pro. It all seems to coincide with installing OS X Mavericks. I thought through recent updates OS X Mavericks v10.9.1, 10.9.4. the problem would be resolved by now. I eventually gave in and "hard wired" my printers and my iPhone only works via USB. I even have to resort to using an Ethernet cable plugged directly into my modem use internet.
I recently purchased an Apple TV with every intention of sharing my iTunes Library and playing my music on the sound system attached to my TV. Unfortunately, more time wasted trying to troubleshoot what may likely be another Mavericks wi-fi connection issue; see discussion Home sharing is turned on - not working
Here I am now in the Mavericks discussion group trying to find a solution - I have read about the same issues with other Mac users and some have switched back to Mountain Lion and re-enabled wi-fi usage on all wireless devices; while others suggest third-party apps as work-around solutions. I am reluctant to go to what I would consider "extreme" measures to fix what seems to be a well documented issue.
Any tips on reverting back to previous OSX - Mountain Lion, or shall I wait until fall for new release of OSX - Yosemite?
Thank you in advance - Db

Dreamweaver connection issues

Hi all,
Over the past couple of weeks I am having increasing difficulty with Dreamweaver trying to connect to BC sites when I am ftpingto the extent I am having to restart DW after closing it down via Task Manager. It is now on virtually every new file upload and is slowing me down hugely. Has anyone else experienced this? I did ask in the DW section and got 1 other who is but thought I'd ask here.
Many thanks
Steve

Further to the above - these connection issue are ONLY with connecting to BC Sites, my non BC servers connect without problems. Further investigation shows that the issue appears to be with my sites on the EU data centre as my US hosted sites seem to hold the connection without problems.
Morten - from your name it sounds like you are in the EU as well?
Come on BC - can someone respond to this please now as it is very frustrating!
