Unable to connect the iPhone 4 to a Lenovo T410 laptop?
Dear readers,
First of all, thanks for opening the topic
Well here we go: I got a new iPhone 4 which I would like to pair with my business lenovo T410 windows 7 laptop: I can't manage to do it.
- The iPhone does not find the laptop, but the laptop finds the iPhone.
- When trying to pair from the laptop, the phone does not react and the mecanism fall in a time out after a while.
- Tried the same operation with a friend's iPhone: no problem. After few seconds the iPhone of my friend shows a request for entering the paraing code: it works.
- We both have the same ios version (latest).
- My iPhone paires well with other laptops and other bluetooth devices (till now, it's the first trouble I encounter).
- The phone seems just not to see this laptop in particular.
I tried updating the phone without success. I don't understand where to act to solve this.
Does somebody know where to look at? or how to fix this issue?
Many thanks uys
With my best regards,

Thanks for your response!
Well, first about the reason: as said, I've a business laptop and my purpose is to synchronise business contacts, mails (if possible, not mandatory) and most important synchronise the calendar and meetings. I can do it with a nokia phone without problem but it's not the goal to take 2 phones with me just for that...
About the faisability, it should be possible I think. As the purpose is not file transfer but synchronise with LotusNotes (business mail client) on the laptop.
Anyway, the problem is just, I think, a matter of connectivity in particular with my iPhone because with a colleague's iPhone it connects.
Many thanks for your answer
Unfortunettly, I didn't manage to solve it till now.
With kind regards,
Fabrice

I have been unable to download the iphone software v5.1. I keep getting the timing out message. Is there someway to set my network connections to allow the download? Can I get the update some other way?
The Huntress is correct, I have missed that you have an iPhone 3G
Usually iTunes will tell you in that case, that iOS 4.2.1 the newest version for your phone.
If you don't have an iPhone 3G, network connections timing out can be a security software problem:

I'm unable to connect my iphone 5s to the Dlink router. I tried all the apple support suggestions. But doesn't work. Please let me know.
I'm having this problem now with my 2 weeks old iPhone 6+. in the beginning everything going great and managed to connect every wifi around me. Then suddenly 1 week ago, All the wifi from my office, home, hotel and coffee house saying either incorrect password or can't join the wifi. But when i switch on my hotspot from my iPhone 5 it can be connect. i also try with my friend iPhone hotspot. So is it because of hardware problem or software problem. And i just restore my iPhone6+ and still can't connect to wifi and manage to join hotspot (also wifi right?) regret as all my downloaded stuff vanish and now can't download back using wifi.....

I have the latest iTunes 12.1.2.27. However, I am unable to restore my iphone4s. iTunes was able to detect an iPhone in recovery mode.
The error is something like "Unable to restore the iphone. Make sure you have the latest iTunes and try again." This is the latest version that exists currently.
I am using MAC OS X 10.7.5.
Please advise.
I have tried all the steps in the apple support.There is nothing to backup.
If the device is showing the Connect to iTunes screen, there is nothing on the device to backup.
The first step in the update process is a backup... restore the device using that backup and try again. -

HT204409 Unable to connect my iphone 4s to wi fi
I am unable to connect my iphone 4s to wifi now that I did the ios8 update
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How do you delete songs that you purchased through iTunes but don't show up when you connect the iphone to iTunes? They don't show up in the music section when you click on "On this phone". Side Note: I have my phone setup to manually manage music. Please help.
Hi, Mrs.Frankie57.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you want to delete a song from your iOS device on iOS 7, tap Songs, swipe the song from right to left, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

On the moment that I connect the Iphone 5 on Windows 8, it is not recognized by Itunes, but actually it appears as a usual USB cable, or as a camera. And then I can't synchronize the Iphone 5 with Itunes. So, what do i do?
Hi pedro109,
If your iPhone is recognized by the computer, but not seen by iTunes, you may need to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service, as described in this article -
How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
Once iTunes recognizes the iPhone you should be able to sync it with iTunes. See this article

The short answer is no. If you don't remember the passcode, there is no way around it. You have to restore the phone.

I put a Tesco sim (02 carrier) in 2 unlocked phones, Both phones are now locked to 02, 02 blame apple, I connect the iphone to itunes and it states that the new carrier (orange) is not supported, Isk this of both 02 and apple, who's phone is this and what right do you have to lock a previously unlocked phone? very angry
Where did you get these phones?
These and other forums are full of people with iPhone unlocking problems - the net result is that, as others have said, is:
If you bought them from Apple they will be (and stay) unlocked.
If you bought them PAYG from CPW then they will lock to the first SIM activated.
Any other contract or PAYG phone iPhone bought from the networks WILL be locked by them too.
However, all is not lost. The original purchaser can request for the phones to be unlocked by Apple, via the carrier. The carriers usually charge around £20 to do this, or gratis if you're out of contract.
You are the original purchaser, right? If not, you need to get in touch with that person and pray they'll help you out. -
My iphone 5 is not powering the scree, when i connect the iphone to the power it only vibrates
my iphone 5 is not powering the scree, when i connect the iphone to the power it only vibrates o make the connect sound (is like the sound when you connect the phone to power) and the screen remains black, itunes recognizes the iphone, but i cannot do a hard reset because the power button does not work, and have password in my phone so itunes wond restore it. i want to know if is a hardware problem like the mother board o something. help please
If you have iOS 7 installed, you can try to restore it via the instructions given by lllaass in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5634135
As an alternative, you could take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs test it and see what is wrong beyond the failed power button.
