Trying to hook up Bluetooth to my ford sync

I have an iPhone 5. Trying to hook up to my ford sync. It is not working. My phone just does not pick up any devices. Just keeps searching. I checked my Bluetooth settings in my car and they are all good. Then I reset phone and Bluetooth connection on both, but no luck. I have the same issue with my iPad mini.

With further research I have found that the sync system only works with certain phones and certain carriers. I have a t-mobile iPhone 5. Since this phone is new to the carrier it has not been made compatible with the sync system. ... Weird because it shows that it will work with this phone if it was from AT&T, Vernon, or sprint.

Bluetooth paring with ford sync

Hi, Im having problems pairing my xperia arc s with my 2013 ford c max. The phone finds 'sync' but when I tap to pair it says it cannot connect. Why is this? I have had no problems paring before. Thank you.

I also have a 2014 Ford C-Max and my Xperia Z1S worked fine before the 4.4.4 update . Now it does not connect to Sync. What gives?

Bluetooth with Ford Sync

Hi, my handsfree bluetooth in my car worked this morning.I have a new Ford with the Sync system. Tonight I'm getting an error when trying to make a call. Error message says "phone not found" or "phone disconnected" The error message on the phone says". App_net_rim__bb_phone_app67 is not responding process terminated. Sounds ominous! I have the Bold 9700. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Andrea

I KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.
I had the same problem. Blackberry Bold 9650 - would connect, but disconnect minutes later. Sometimes it would reconnect, sometimes not.
In Sync, Goto the "Media" menu, where you would play music through a USB or iPod or even you blackberry phone. Is your "Media" device set to "Bluetooth?" I bet it is. Change the input to "line in" or "USB" if you have a USB hooked up. NEVER LEAVE IT ON BLUETOOTH AUDIO, EVER, FOR ANY REASON.
Bam. I don't have the problem any more. The problem seemed to be that my phone was connecting automatically through bluetooth, but SYNC was ALSO trying to connect through bluetooth to my phone as a media player. I don't know the technical reason, but the two seemed to clash. I never have the problem anymore, but if I forget and turn on Bluetooth audio, it will happen again.
I think its a BlackBerry problem, not a SYNC problem, but this workaround works. Good luck, and report back if it worked.
BONUS - use your USB cable to connect SYNC to your phone, and it works just like if you pluged in a USB key full of music.
On my phone, when I plug in the cable and the car is on, the phone prompts me to use it as "USB," or "CHARGE ONLY," or whatever - select "USB." Then, in SYNC, goto "Media," select device "USB," and BOOM.
OR, More easily, at this point press the SYNC button, and say the command "USB." It will activate the USB media device, and boom, you've got a fully voice activated MP3 player that fullfills the promise of SYNC.
Now your phone is a media player THAT YOU CAN USE WITH ALL SYNC VOICE ACTIVATED COMMANDS, just like if you pluged in a USB key full of MP3s. Put a 16GB media card in your phone, load it up with your music library and you are good to go. Play any song by name, artist, album, whatever, it all works, JUST LIKE SYNC WAS MEANT TO WORK
I hope this helps someone out there.

Trying to hook up a USB cable mouse in Afghanistan (i.e. no wi-fi). Nothing is cuing up when I plug it in. Please help?

Hello, I am a relatively new Macbook Pro user. Only previous experience with a Mac before this was many years ago in Iraq. I have a relatively cheap USB optical mouse, that I am trying to hook up so I can use Lumosity.com easier. It is not an Apple brand - it is literally the sort of thing that comes with a cheap set of things in a 3rd-world store. I attempted plugging in a Magic Mouse from Apple earlier, and no, it did not work either. Simply put, I have two mouse devices that do not want to work in an environment that has no wi-fi (which I presume is why the Magic Mouse won't work, seeing as all it is supposed to require is to be turned on), and cannot seem to find success with this other cheap(er) optical mouse that has to be physically plugged into the laptop. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Quick list of things I've already tried:
1. Taking the Magic Mouse to an area that has wi-fi (failed).
2. Plugging the optical mouse into different USB ports on the laptop (failed)
3. Yelling at both devices for failing me (no result = failed ironically).
4. Turning the Magic Mouse on and off (failed).
List of things that I have not done incorrectly:
1. Not tried a different device.
2. Putting the device(s) on any glass surface.
Any further assistance would be most greatly appreciated.

OK... the corded mouse is an unknown, since you're saying it's a very cheap device. At this point, if I understand you, you're not sure if that mouse even works. Let's go back to the Apple mouse. They don't need wireless to work, they run on Bluetooth, which is part of your computer. You need to go through "pairing" to bond that mouse to your computer.

Trying to hook up a badge intaller?

Hey,
I am trying to hook up a badge installer, but instead of using the samples from the various tutorials available, I am not using Flash Pro to create the badge, I am attempting to use Flash Catalyst ... but I have never worked with with Flex before this. I can get it working with the sample badge, and the tutorials are pretty straight forward. What I can't seem to get right is hooking up the fxp to the badge AS file ... please help ... I have also been asking for help on the catalyst forum, and was directed here ...
Thanks so much

Assuming it is a BT headset (mic and headphone), what BT profiles does it support? Most BT headset supportthe Hands Free Profiles which is only supported by the 4G iPod. The 3G supports the A2DP profile which is mainly for BT headphones. See:

The Mini DisplayPort-to-HDMI adaptor will only pass video in most cases. You will need to run a separate audio cable along with it. Likely a 3.5mm (male-to-male) cable. Or a 3.5mm (male) to red/white RCA (male) cable. Just depends on what audio input ports your TV has dedicated to the HDMI input.

I'm trying to hook up my Macbook Pro to my TV. I'm using the 'mini-display port to female HDMI" adapter. all i can see is my desktop background. no folders or icons and when i play a movie it goes blank.

Drag applications from your main desktop off the right side of the screen and they will appear on the TV. This is the extended desktop mode.

I am trying to hook my macbook pro to a sony bravia TV via DVI to HDMI cable and the TV will not recognize the signal. The same set up has worked with three other, though different televisions. Any thoughts?

I am trying to hook my MacBook Pro to a Sony Bravia TV via DVI to HDMI cable and the TV will not recognize the signal. I have used the same setup with three other TV's, each a different brand with no problem. Any ideas?

Is the TV set to take input from the HDMI connection?
On your computer, if you open the Displays preferences and do not see an Arrangement tab (or there is an Arrangement tab that shows only a single monitor) then there is something physically wrong with your connection. Try clicking Detect Displays just to see if the computer can now sense the presence of the connection. Check your connections.
If you do have an Arrangement tab, and it shows two screens, then click Gather Windows to bring the TV's Displays preferences on to your main screen if the TV is not yet showing an image. Set the proper resolution (probably 720p, 1080i, or 1080p). Set the refresh rate (probably 60Hz) if that preference is shown. You should see a picture at this point. I recommend turning off mirrored displays if it is enabled.

Im trying to hook up my macbook pro with Lion os to new tv with Kanex mini displayport hdmi with no luck, any help?

I'm trying to hook up my macbook pro to my new LG tv, I have the desktop screen on my tv (I was told I had to open a 2nd desktop and then drag my dvd screen into it, it still doesn't work.

ok so you have a macbook pro with minidisplayport and you can see your desktop on your LG screen?
go to system preferences>displays>arrangement and turn off Mirroring (if it's on). This will give you two separate areas and look similar to this.
If you want quick access to this setting click the "show displays in meny bar"
a little pointer, you see on my setup that there is now one screen with no white bar at the top and one with. This marks where your main screen is (and where the menu bar and dock appear) you can click and drag this white bar to your new LG tv.
Most new tv's have a setting to fit the screen to the tv size. This is a setting that allows for edge to edge persision instead of overlapping which you'll see in older tvs. Take a look at your tv's manual for more about this sort of connection.

I am trying to hook my macbook pro to a projector, which has a VGA cable. I bought a VGA to HDMI adapter, but whenever I hook it up, the screen on my macbook just goes black and I can't make it do anything else or even show up on the projector.

I am trying to hook my macbook pro to a projector, which has a VGA cable. I bought a VGA to HDMI adapter, but whenever I hook it up, the screen on my macbook just goes black and I can't make it do anything else or even show up on the projector.
My laptop is still on; it just has a black screen that I can't get rid of without shutting down the computer by holding the power button.

Hey there lynmrigg,
It sounds like have an HDMI to VGA adapter connecting your MacBook Pro and your projector but the screen on your computer goes black and no image appears on the projector. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article to help resolve or isolate the issue here, named:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

I have a pioneer 50 inch plasma   I purchased new from the company back in 2005.   I tried to hook up an Apple Tv to the pioneer receiver that came with the TV.   I can not get it to work.   The receiver has two HDMI inputs in the back.

I have a pioneer 50 inch plasma + I purchased new from the company back in 2005.   I tried to hook up an Apple Tv to the pioneer receiver that came with the TV.   I can not get it to work.
The receiver has two HDMI inputs in the back. However they say they are not for PC's. Furthermore they must be set up by going to the home menu.    I tried everything, but I can not get the receiver to talk to the Apple TV. I even tried a connector that uses an HDMI to the Apple TV that has the other side of the cable as 5 RCA cables. I could not get the receiver to see the Apple TV.   I have a newer TV in the house, it has no problem talking with the Apple TV. But this older system seems to be handicapped in its ability to talk with the newer Apple TV system.
My Email is [email protected]
Do you have any suggestions
Thanks
Bob

I could not access the Apple TV on the television.   If I put the Apple TV directly into by TV, I have an external sound system (entertainment system), therefore I worry that I would by pass the audio.
Thanks for taking your time to attempt to help!   Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

HT204387 When trying to add text notifications on my iphone 5 Through my Ford sync all pages tell me to open settings, click on the sync when it is pair with the car and there should be a Turn on Notifications slide but there is not. Please help.

I heard that Ford Sync now allows the user to have text message notifications appear on the dash board. I have looked up how to do so, the instructions say on our phone click on settings-Bluetooth-when paired with the sync click on sync and there should be a slide option that says turn notifications on. I am using an Iphone 5 with the latest operating system and I do not have a Turn notifications on stting in my bluetooth. Please help

Resetting Network Settings means that the saved password that enabled your iPhone to connect to your WiFi router was erased. You are now reentering that password. Most likely you are entering the password incorrectly or are entering an old password or the wrong password.
Check that the password that you are using is absolutely, positively, the correct and current password for your router. Make sure that you are not confused l with 1, O with 0, etc.
