Power struggles with iPhone 4

(( BEFORE YOU SAY "GO TO THE STORE", PLEASE UNDERSTAND IT WILL COST ME £40 IN FUEL TO MY NEAREST STORE & WHAT EVER EXTORTIONATE FEE CHARGED BY APPLE ENGINEERS!!! ))
I love my iPhone 4, I dont want to part with it, as it has been through the war's with me...
While out & about, the battery died, I thought nothing of it & put it on charge as soon as I had a chance, it went from an empty battery, to 3 bars up, then no further, I couldnt get it to reset or anything, but I connected it to my laptop & tried a restoration via iTunes, but it failed stating it was due to 'Error 21'.
It then reset its self & rebooted, but now it goes no further than the iTunes logo, no matter how long or many times I press/hold the buttons & it dosnt turn on at all without being connected to a battery charger or computer USB...
Does anyone know what that means & how I can solve this issue????

If you take it to the genius bar, they don't charge you anything at all to look at it and diagnose it. If you're not happy with that, you can call AppleCare and arrange for mail in service.
If it won't power on at all without being connected to a power source, then it' most likely a hardware fault. It will need to be replaced.

Anyone else struggling with iPhone 5 battery ?

iPhone 5 bought direct from Apple on release, set up as a new phone out the box, I have pretty much everything turned off, and the battery life is still struggling to get me through the day, and that is without what I would consider excessive use. No gaming, no movies, no streaming, just texts and a few calls, manually retrieved emails and an amount of sporadic browsing whilst at work.
My iPhone 4 coped much better than this.
Anyone suffering the same symptoms ?
Should I take it in for replacement or is this the standard iPhone 5 experience ?

Call me crazy..but I've actually experienced better battery life with my iPhone 5. That's one of the features I've liked best. If you haven't yet, I'd follow up on all of the stuff here
http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
If that doesn't help, an appointment and trip to the Genius bar wouldn't hurt.

I'm still struggling with being able to sync ipad3 and iphone 4s to itunes after upgrading software to ios 6. I've gone through all the recommendations by Apple and suggestions from other forums and nothing seems to work. Help!!!!!

Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call? You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.

I have continuously over the last 6 months struggled with syncing my iphone and ipod with itunes The app continually crashes during the picture import. AND by the way it takes 10-15 minutes before it even attempts to import photos. The screen says importing photoes but doesnt try to optimize or anything for 10 minutes. I have a 3gs with 16Gb so its not a cheap phone. I have 10Gb free. I have 6600 photoes. This is very frustrating and undermines my confidence in your products. My ipod is an ipod 4 with 16Gb also. It does the exact same thing to it. The last time, I had to import photoes a few at the time and with it taking 10-15 minutes each time for 6600 photos it is a long frustrating process. But it will import every photo a few at a time. The error message is just that itunes has stopped working. no hint as to why. AND of course, my phone is out of use for the entire time. You guys must not want to believe ur phones are a necessary tool...or maybe you dont want the consumer to believe it is. I have tried to find solutions on your website as well as through other 3rd party communities. Ultimately they were of no use. I stumbled onto my solution by accident since Im a bit of a computer geek...a semi-geek.

I have this issue too, I went into my Windows event viewer. (should have looked at this a year ago when this started)
it said this

basically whenever I try to sync my ipod touch 4G 64GB it crashes iTunes when it begins the pictures. if im lucky ill get 4-5 on there before it stops responding. its not my system or anything im running win7x64 8GB DDR3 ram (Corsair XMS3) AMD FX Eight core processor.
It is silly that iTunes cannot add pictures to apple devices. it shatters whatever incline I may have to buy apple products. knda like the Airport Extreem router my dad bought the new firmware, caused my router to not function... why release firmware that breaks a product. -_- <-- off topic but still

they said leap year added extra day so too late out of warrenty, sorry but can sell you new one i called apple said same , a company that big should take care of customers the origanel receipt should of said under date of purchess warrnty to end date following year,

That's strange, because no where in the iPhone's limited warranty does it state "365 days", but it does state 1 year. I think the only way they could get out of that is because of the battery, which is not covered by the warranty. HOWEVER, it is stated on AT&T's website that claims are handled from 31-365 days, which would explain why the Apple people acted as such. I know you have Verizon, but since it is (essentially) the same device, it's under the same warranty.
http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?cv=820&sid=KB64687#fbid=MG9VDbF7hX1
Many people have had stories about issues happening as soon as their warranty expires, with products in general.
I'd just consider upgrading, and selling your old one.

IPhone 5. My on-off button rarely works. I can power off with assistive touch. Is there a way to power on with assistive touch, given that the icon disappears?

My on-off button rarely works. I can power off with assistive touch. Is there a way to power on without the on-off switch?

Depending on what you mean by power off. If you mean putting the phone to Sleep, you can tap on the Home button to bring it back. If you turn it off completely, then the only way to turn it on is to use the physical Power Button.

Not able to pair my sony DR-BTN200 with iPhone 5S

not able to pair my sony DR-BTN200 with iPhone 5S

Hello rammail2u.
Greetings and thank you for your message, in order to connect and pair both devices via bluetooth follow the next steps:
1. Place the Bluetooth device within 1 meter (3 feet)
2. Press and hold the POWER button for more than 30 seconds while the unit is off.
3. Make sure that the indicator flashes in blue and red alternately after you release the button.
4. Perform the pairing procedure on the Bluetooth device to detect the headphones by going to the bluetooth settings of your Iphone 5s.
5. When the list of detected devices appears on the display, select the model DR-BTN200 to make the connection.
6. If a passkey input is required on the display of a Bluetooth device, try using “0000” as reference.
NOTE: Every time you want to pair the devices don't forget to press and hold the power button until a blue indicator flashes on the set. The blue indicator means that the headphones are ready to be paired with an external device, also tells you that the bluetooth function is already on.

Connect macbook pro with iphone 5 via bluetooth

I have macbook pro and Iphone 5 both have bluetooth turned on. When I go in to Macbook Pro I can see my Iphone 5. When I go into my Iphone 5 it shows as discoverable and searching.....What am I doing wrong? The Macbook won't connect and sync with Iphone and vice versa unless I have a usb cable attached.

Hello bstaab,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. To wirelessly sync your iPhone with iTunes, you need to be connected using a Wi-Fi network. I found an article that has the steps outlined on how to sync your iPhone wirelessly with iTunes:
Wi-Fi syncing
Open iTunes
To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
The iOS device is plugged in to power
iTunes is open on the computer
The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
You can find the full article here:

Infuritated with iphone 3gs recognition issue

For the past month I've been trying to resolve an issue with an iphone 3gs running OS 4.3.4. This phone is not detected by any pc/laptop or itunes. This issue is heavily reported everywhere with a multitude of apparent solutions, I swear to god I've tried everything multiple times except doing a factory reset which i'll be damned if I do.
Now this iphone used to connect/sync fine all the time without issue, we didn't update or sync it with the laptop for about a month and during that period obtained an ipad 2. We set up the ipad 2 on the same itunes account without issue. Later I finally went to update to iOS 5 on the iphone 3gs. This is when I first detected the issue. The phone was no longer being recognized at all. It doesn't show up in my computer, itunes doesn't detect it, it doesn't pop up in the device manager when connected and even the camera isn't recognized.
As I stated, I've tried everything except factory reset.
I've tried;
1) Changing cables- the official one that came with it, one with iphone 4s, ipad 2 cable, spare cable, 3rd party short cable, 3rd party long cable. No difference. none of these cablesd allow the phone to be detected, none of the phones allow the iphone to pick up a charge from a usb connection EXCEPT the 3rd party black one.
2) Using all above cables on 2 different laptops, 3 different pcs. Exactly the same as above.
3) Everything on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
- Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
- Have restarted the apple mobile device support service several times
4) Itunes is completely up-to-date I have reinstalled itunes about 5 times now, i'll be loathed to do it again. I've repaired, I've followed guides to completely remove all traces of itunes/quicktime/apple including from registry, and then reinstalled.
5) I've entered revovery mode and tried everything listed here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
6) I've disabled and removed any potential 3rd party software including anti-virus.
7) I've tried removing potentially erroneous pictures created by apps or obtained by means other than directly from the iphones camera.
8) Tried removing lock on phone
9) Tried taking pictures on phone to bring camera up on windows.
10) Carefully and thoroughly cleared and cleaned the inner contacted for the usb connection cable on the phone.
11) Updated all intel based drivers (usb/motherboard) and reinstalled them.
NOTHING is working.
The itunes account for the phone is installed on a windows vista pc, as stated earlier it used to always work without issue. I can't see how the issue wis with the laptop as it is not recognized in the same manor on other devices.
There are 2 or 3 things that could be potentially causing the issue. My main thought is something to do with the install of the ipad 2. The ipad 2, on the same laptop, IS recognized, by both the laptop and itunes, in other words, there are absolutely no issues with the ipad 2 which the iphone 3gs has.
If I connect say my iphone 4 to the laptop (or any other device) it IS recognized. In other words every other apple device, be it iphone, itouch or ipad works with every laptop/pc i have except the iphone 3gs.
To clarify, the iphone 3gs is working absolutely fine on it's own, it just isn't being detected by anything. The iphone 3gs charges absolutely fine on a official apple power cable with plug.
My phone has never been and is NOT jailbroken.
There are some slight discrepencies to information in this article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 pertaining to the Apple mobile device USB driver.
With the iphone 3gs, as mentioned, when connected, it does not appear in the device manager. All my other apple devices do appear. For example the ipad 2 and the iphone 4, however, slightly differently as described in the article. The apple mobile device usb driver appears not under "Universal Serial Bus Controller" but under "Portable device". When the iphone 3gs is connected "Portable device" isn't even listed (as the phone is not recognized).
Ive tried connected the iphone 4 on one cable then the 3gs on another but only the iphone 4 is detected on the pc/itunes still.
All I stated it as a potential issue I don't truly believe the installation of the ipad 2 is the reason as other devices work fine.
Another possiblilty is to do with the picture issue, this has been reported alot around the web and is by far the most bizarre issue. If this was indeed the porblem I'd be beyond infuritated, consider the phone has thousands of pictures from a multitude of origins, be it the camera, bluetooth, emailed, downloaded, another camera app, an editing app. Bare in mind this is over a number of yeears and has not caused issues, then suddenly, it is. And the solution, delete the pictures that didn't come directly from the camera, i don't even need to state how nigh on impossible that is, for myself, i'd have to delete every single picture to ensure I got them all. The problem there? As is the major problem? As is the reason I can't just factory reset? The phone hasn't been backed up in a long period of time, I'd be losing far too much. The bottom line, this absolutely should not be happening and there has to be a simple yet not obvious fix for this.
The final possiblity? The usb port on the phone is faulty? Now bare in mind it gets a charge from being plugged into a socket (non-usb) and also gets a usb charge from a single 3rd party cable? Could this really be the issue? Would it make sense a charge is possible but not detection? It's definately not the cable, so that would leave the physical port on the phone? As i stated earlier I've cleaned this properly and ensured there's no signs of physical damage. The phone is obviously no logner under warranty and I honestly don't beleive it's damaged to the extent it won't be recognized.
I've probably missed a fair few things out i've tried to resolve this, but this is lengthy enough for now. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I would love to resolve this without having to attempt a factory reset or delete all the photos. If there was a way to mass send every photo at once via email or bluetooth I'd try that then delete them, is there? I mean i do NOT want to be doing this one at a time. I really need to get the phone detected so i can backup my phone and (if then possible) transfer the data to my new iphone 4s (in the post!).
I love apple but this issue is quite disgusting and it's very apparent and widespread, there's just too many possibilities to it and unfortunately all the above don't seem to be helping.
Thanks for reading!

It COULD be the photos; the Camera Roll was never intended to be permanent storage; it is for temporary photo storage until the photos can be transferred to a computer, just like you would do with any other digital camera. However, the problems that you have read about with corrupt images only prevents the Camera Roll from being accessible on the computer, it does not interfere with syncing.
It could also easily be a hardware issue with the phone. I consider this the most likely. However, here is something desperate you can try (desperate only because it may not work; it isn't going to hurt anything): Open a Windows command line with Administrator privileges, and type:
netsh winsock reset
For your photos, you have a couple of options.
Dropbox (www.dropbox.com) - Open a free Dropbox account on your computer, install the free Dropbox app, then copy the Camera Roll photos to the Dropbox Photos folder. They will appear in the dropbox folder on your computer as if by magic.
Picasa (picasa.google.com) - Open a free Picasa account. Purchase the MyPics app for the iPhone (not free, but inexpensive), and upload all of your photos to Picasa using MyPics
There are other apps with similar functionality, but these are the easiest to use.

Universal Dock's remote doesn't work with iPhone Photos

Has anyone tried Universal Dock's remote with iPhone Photos? I can't get it to work.
The remote does work with iPhone music and video though.

i just bought this dock as a car dock. I have it hooked up to power 12v and output to 1/8 into head unit. Now, I have to be in iTunes music to get it to work and it only allows volume, playing of files in a playlist and to next song. Are any of you guys having issues with VERY limited use of the remote and lack of really a benefit from using a remote because you have to touch it anyways to change through songs or video??? Are you guys wondering why you even bought it if the remote is not supported as a functional addition?

Itunes 11.1.5 will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message? How does one work around this?

Itunes 11.1.5 (MacBook Pro,OS 10.6.8) will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message? How does one work around this?

Just reboot your laptop... While its rebooting try to reboot your phone also by holding the home and power buttonn for 10-15 seconds...When your phone is turned off try to connect it to iTunes and it will recognize your phone in recovery mode.
If you have the .ipsw file for iOS 7.0.6 saved in your desktop then in itunes press shift and click on Restore.
Select the ipsw file and let it restore.
If you dont have it downloaded then simply click on restore.
I hope it works
Cheers !

Unable to Sync Outlook Contacts of Office 2011 for Mac with iPhone 5

I have been struggling to sync my Outlook 2011 for Mac with my iPhone 5 via iTunes. Apple support says it is not possible. All thier stores say you can use Office on Mac Machines but no one says that you cannot sync contacts with iPhone. Why in the world Apple does not allow to sync contact from Outlook to iPhone? The apple support say that in the earlier version of iTune it was possible but in the current version it is not possible. Has some genius found a way to sync the Outlook 2011 contacts with iPhone using iTune or any other external software? I will be grateful for any help in the matter.

The comment from Apple support was partially true. If you search the web you will find that Office 2011 (latest Mac version of Office) has never been able to sync with an iPhone. Older versions (maybe), and Windows versions possibly, but not the latest Mac version. MS changed the format of just about everything in Outlook 2011. It was MS that broke the iTunes ability to sync, not Apple.
So, even though Office 2011 works just fine on a Mac, you loose the ability to sync with your iPhone. Thank the folks in Redmond for this.

Lightning to 30-pin Adapter not work properly with iPhone 5s

Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (0.2 m) with iPhone 5s working good with power adapter and 30-pin cable, but how iPhone at 100% power, I see message "This accessories is not working correctly".
But with iPad mini 1 everything is OK.

Bottom line, the iPhone case restricted insertion of the 8 pin adapter into the IPhone. Slide in cases with open bottoms have no problems but wrap around cases can restrict flush insertion due to insufficient access to the recepticle in the iPhone.
