Old Accessories don't work.

So, I had an original iPhone. Paid full price for it. Then they dropped the price by $200. Bought a car integration kit for my MINI ($300 + installation), as well as a dock for my desk, etc. etc. Now I have the new iPhone and it won't work with any of the old accessories, despite the fact that it uses the same connector. What gives? Can anyone tell me the reason for this, and why it wasn't made explicitly clear when the 3G was advertised? It's a really annoying and expensive thing to be surprised with. Every iPod and the original iPhone have worked with the same universal connectors forever. Now 3G owners are suddenly screwed. I'm SOOOO not looking forward to tearing my car apart and spending hunderds of dollars more just to use my new phone.

Regarding having the same USB connection or connector is not everything.
The shape of the iPhone 3G is different than the shape of the first generation iPhone, so the dock included with the first generation iPhone has a shaped opening for the first generation iPhone which is different from the shape of the iPhone 3G. No dock is included with the iPhone 3G as was included with the first generation iPhone. I never used the dock included with the first generation iPhone and doubtful I'm the only one.
Regarding your car kit, did/does it include "made for iPhone" on the packaging and detailed specifications, etc.?
If not, you were lucky that it worked with your first generation iPhone since the connection or connector type is not everything in regards to compatibility.

New Mini-but all 3 of my old monitors don't work

Contrary to Apple's statement "just about any old CRT or LCD will work" it's becoming increasingly clear that I've purchased a seriously flawed Apple computer: 3 of my perfectly good working monitors, on a PowerMac 4400, won't work with the new Mini. (FYI I've and been an owner of serveral generations of Macs starting with a Mac II CX). A brutal 90 minutes on the phone with Apple tech support (20 minutes on hold) got me no where. Rep said I couldn't speak to a supervisor and there "were no known reports of ANY problems with ANY monitors". This forum, however, makes if painfully clear that about half of all monitors, including Apple's DON"T WORK with the Mini. Any ideas on getting old CRTs to work? I'm getting a good system bong and some light (details below), but my Mini is NOT a usable computer. ARRRRRRG!
1) Apple 13" color display>>I see some text, but it's duplicated every inch and very fast rolling
2) SuperMach 20 Plus>> I only see purple static
3) SuperMac Color display (also 20", using Griffin adapter for sync on green)>>I only see yellow static and fast rolling.

Packager for iPhone Labs Forum - moved but old links don't work :(

Since Packager for iPhone is an obsulete product now and everybody "should" use AIR 2.6, the Packager for iPhone forum disappered today and all links bring to the page saying: "It appears you're not allowed to view what you requested. You might contact your administrator if you think this is a mistake."
Come on guys, the old links to the specific forum threads should still work, I bookmarked so many links ralated to many problems "to read later" and now they are gone... Would be nice if there was some redirect to the same threads on the new forum if they were moved (I hope they aren't removed). So far we can only used "cached" in Google version...

Yeah, great, thanks Adobe... you've just lost years worth of community comments and resource there!
Who thought that removing that forum could ever be a good idea?!
It could have stayed as a static 'read only' forum with this being the new place to add comments and threads.
Shocking really...
Please Adobe re-instate it. You're normally amazing but this truly sucks and is very surprising.

IDVD 7.0.2 crashes. Old tricks don't work

Hi.
I have an older 24" iMac. Had to reload the system. (Had to first load 10.4, then upgrade to 10.5 because my mac came that way.)
Since then, iDVD won't open... crashes immediately.
I've tried the normal stuff:
•plenty of free space on HD
•have taken out themes.
•there is NO preferences file...never was. (So I cannot trash it.)
•System is up to date.
My computer didn't come with a iLife disc, so i apparently cannot just reinstall the program w/o going back to 10.4, then upgrading to 10.5. What a pain in the butt.
Can any body be my hero?
Cheers.
Thanks.

Have just created an account to log into forum discussions, so don't know if I have done the right thing by posting here. Please forgive me if I should have done something else, but I thought this the right place because I have a similar problem.
Here's the problem. I have an iMac with Mac OS X (105.5) and used iDVD on this computer a few months ago, but suddenly it is not available to me.
Clicked on the application yesterday and was given the message that it had "quit unexpectedly" before it even opened. Tried Reset and Relaunch but no luck. Don't know what to do, short of reloading both discs for the system, since it appears I cannot reload only the iDVD application.
Help, please, and Thank You.

Is it me or old apps don't work with IOS 5.0 ?

I everyone
In an attempt to install IOS 5 , iI realized tha none of the apps could start, only native apps like itunes and mail could work.
I had to return to IOS 4.3 to use apps I open everyday.
Do we need to wait for developpers to update their apps to current IOS 5.0?
Thanks
D

@ Meg
Thanks for the Tip I'll try that out. I just hope that my most used app will work on IOS 5 , although I didn't see the latest update on Itune .
@Allan
For stability reason, I didn't hack or jailbreak the the phone. I managed to go back to the previous IOS setting the phone in "safemode" and installed IOS 4, that was it.
I'll post back once installed
Thanks

Power accessories don't work on iPhone

Does anyone have external batteries like the powermonkey that they have been using with the iPod, and if so, have you found it to work with the iPhone?
The powermonkey (which I own) works fine with all iPods; it doesn't seem to charge the iPhone at all however even though the dock connector is exactly the same and fits in just fine.
Has anyone run into a similar problem? Cheers.

I'm soo embarrassed! I had inadvertantly set the mute switch on the left side of my iPhone.
Sorry!

Library not found after upgrading to iTunes 7, old libraries don't work

For the second time since iTunes 7 was released, I've been asked to upgrade and did so without issue on the first day of upgrading. When I shut my computer down and came back the next day, however, the library is not found when I attempt to launch iTunes. Before, I simply reverted to iTunes 6 and copy/pasted a "previous library" as the current library. Now, though, I have a new iPod and it needs iTunes 7 to run. I've tried copy/pasting a previous library to the iTunes Library folder with no luck.
90% of my music is in the .m4a format so I need iTunes to listen! Not to mention, I need it to update my brand new iPod. I really need help on this, can someone give any advice? Thanks in advance.

johnc86,
Are you following the instructions from this article in the Apple Knowledge Base, in particular the renaming of the .itl file from the Previous Libraries folder?

HT1331 Old instructions don't work with Windows 7

Would be nice if they included instructions for Windows7 since it's the current OS. Also would be nice if they used the right name for the current utility...it's Airport Utility, not "Base Station Agent." These instructions are invalid in Windows7
Go to My Computer (Start > My Computer)
From the menu, pull down Tools and select "Map Network Drive"
There is no Tools menu in My Computer, thus no "Map Network Drive."
Really, if they aren't going to support Windows, the marketing literature should not act like they do.

I finnaly resolved it. If anyone else has this issue, here is what you do:
1. install all drivers from the CD, except the ones related to the graphics card
2. install all Windows Updates, except the ones related to the graphics card. You will have to reboot a couple of times, and keep installing until the only updates that remain are related to the graphics card.
3. install the video drivers from the CD
4. ENJOY

I am locked out of my iphone. In resetting my passcode I must have hit a wrong digit, because the 4 digits I thought I used Don't work (and of course not my old passcode). I have tried the instructions both for "if you have previously synced your device with iTunes" and "If you have Never synced your device with iTunes" . Neither has worked and I'm in a vicious circle with each time after lengthy downloads it still all ends with the program, & my phone, asking for my passcode to proceed. I'm not sure if I have ever synced to my mac book (i may have) but my address book seems to automatically update on both devices without the need to plug in. Thank you for any knowledgable help that could efficiently get me out of this passcode ****!

Hi DRussell,
If you have not sync'd your device to your Mac then you will have to force the phone into recovery mode and restore as a new device. Read the information in this link and follow the instructions to recover the phone:

Hope this helps!

How do I get all my fonts to work. I upgraded the OS and the old fonts don't seem to work.

How do I get all my fonts to work. I upgraded the OS and the old fonts don't seem to work.

If the fonts are installed on the OS they should be there already. If they were only available to CS5 they are probably in the fonts folder in the Adobe section of the Common files (location will be OS dependent), or they may be in ID's own fonts folder.

Have updated email add now passwords don't work and old email is still displayed so created new apple ID and password ,now app store still using old email /password .wat to do now

Have updated apple I D and password
Now appstores still using old apple Id and password
Cannot update or download apps
Created new apple I d and password and now still iTunes using old id and old password doesn't work
Bbaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

Hi Mofomon,
If you want to use the new/updated AppleID and password, you need to sign out of the App Store, sign out of iTunes, etc. and then sign back on with the new ID and password.
To sign out of the App Store on your iPad, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store, then click on your old AppleID, click on View Account, and sign in with your old password that goes with that ID. Then click on Sign Out. Once you have the old ID signed out, you can sign back on with the new ID and Password.
New purchases will be done with that ID, but if you actually set up a totally separate brand new ID from your old one (as opposed to simply changing it) then any past purchases will still be linked to that old ID, and will require the old password for updating.
If you simply changed your existing AppleID, then the new password will be what is needed for updating.
Cheers,
