Weird error message using phone as iPod

When I plug my iPhone into my car's iPod connection cord (which works fine with regular iPods and does not cause regular iPods to display any weird error messages), the iPhone says something about how "...that accessory does not work with the iPhone..." and asks me whether I want to switch to airplane mode. In spite of this weird message, I am able to play my music via the usual method in my car. Weird. Remedy?

Actually Human,
Many iPod accesories were not designed to operate in close proximity to a GSM phone. The iPhone is a GSM phone. There is a program for iPod accessory manufacturers to test and certify their accesories for use with the iPhone. This article contains more information:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305766
That being said, many will work without going into airplane mode, some will get interference from the GSM signal that will come through as a hum or sometimes popping noise. Since sending and receiving the GSM signal is needed to make calls, the iPhone can't be shielded to prevent interfering, the accessory needs to be.
This article contains more information on potential interference:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305662
The short answer is the car adapter may work without going into Airplane Mode, or it may have interference from the GSM signal at times.
Hope this helps,

  • I was using my old iPhone 4 as an iPod for 4  months when one day I got this error message saying "phone is deactivated visit your local to reactive" ... what the heck??? now the freakin thing won't even charge!!!

    I was using my old iPhone 4 as an iPod for 4  months when one day I got this error message saying "phone is deactivated visit your local to reactive" ... what the heck??? now the freakin thing won't even charge!!!

    Nope. I've already turned off cellular data. It happens regardless, as soon as it is done powering on.
    I suspect it might just be built into the phone's firmware to do that... and I have to hit "ignore" whenever it happens, but I just wanted confirmation of that...

  • Using Site Content and Structure unable to move documents,pages and getting weird error message

    Hi ,
    earlier we are moving a page ,document from one site to another sub site with in the Site Collection.
    Now,we are getting a un-readable format error.
    After selecting the destination we are getting the error.
    and the file can't move.
    What might me be the error.
    Expecting answers related to my question.
    1.As we can do using Internet Explorer,
    2. Using Send To also we can move.
    Using this Site Content and structure we can maintain Versoining also.
    If any one face the same issue then we can easily find out the solution.

  • Help Weird Error Messages Connecting Externals on USB

    Hi,
    For some reason very recently everytime I plug in a peripheral into the usb port I get a weird error message and the units (like an external HD, external DVD burner, etc.) won't work. The errors are something like:
    The system extensions/system/library/extensions/systems/kext plugins/libkern.kext was installed improperly and can not be used. Please reinstall ir or contact the products vendor for an update.
    Ohter error with the have the same message but file components change like:
    iousbfamily.kext
    bsdkernel.kext
    mach.kext
    udf.kext
    system.kext
    unsupported.kext
    Anybody have a clue? Thanks

    Yes, you should absolutely report it as a bug.
    But this is a problem in error reporting, not in valid code compilation, because the code
    cannot compile -- so don't expect to impart much momentum on a fix without additional community support.
    There's very clearly a coding problem that the static function f cannot access the non-static member
    g.
    To estimate the risk of more serious problems with the compiler, I investigated the two closest scenarios for making the code legal.  If you either:
    make g a static member (and give it storage), or
    make f a non-static function (and call it with an instance of A)
    ...then the code is valid and the compiler doesn't ICE in either case.
    So the severity of this problem is very low because, as you said, this ICE seems to occur only when there is an error in the code.

  • I keep getting an error message that says "the ipod cannot not be synced""an unknown error occured (13019).

    I keep getting an error message that says "the ipod cannot not be synced""an unknown error occured (13019). I am trying to put albums on to my ipod by dragging and dropping. I have it set to manually manage music and videos. The albums appear in the music section under Devices, but they don't appear on my actual ipod.
    I have never had any problems doing this before, only in the last few days.

    I am having the exact same issue as you are with my iPod nano. This started happening the same day after I updated the iPod software, so I wonder if it is a bug within the software that Apple needs to resolve. I dragged 3 playlists of new music from my iTunes over to my iPod and sometime while it was trying to add those songs, the error 13019 popped up. Another note, which may not be related at all, was that iTunes told me at some point during this process (I believe before the error notification, but I'm not sure and that may be helpful to know) that I did not have enough room on the iPod to copy all of the songs, but it would copy as many as it could. What is curious, like in your situation, is now all the songs it supposedly copied appear to be on the iPod under the Device->iPod->Music label in iTunes when it is plugged into my computer, the playlists in question are also showing up there, and it does indeed say my memory is full under the iPod's general tab in iTunes. However, when going through my actual iPod when it is not plugged in, none of those songs or playlists are anywhere to be found.
    Anyways, all the established solutions to the 13019 error do not apply to this situation, as my iPod has always been set to manually managed so "unchecking" the Sync Music option under the Music tab of the iPod and rechecking it will not work because it was never checked in the first place.  And voice memos are obviously not applicable since we are not talking about an iPhone failing to sync music.
    Unless anyone can provide a new solution here, I may just have to take my computer and iPod up to the genius bar. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Why might this be, and is there some sort of 'soft restore patch' that might be available from Apple so I don't have to keep on erasing my music?

  • To display a continuos Error Message using BADI

    Hi Everybody,
                        There's a transaction that makes use of classes and interfaces to display an ALV grid with input enabled frames and fields. There's a need to display an error message using a specified BADI method, which gets triggered after the user enters the input. The error message is working fine for the first time.<b>But when i'm trying to enter the same input and press enter after the error message, the transaction is getting closed. How can i display the same error message, until and unless the user enters the correct input ?</b>  I've tried to trace the control using the debugger after the enter is pressed, but the debugger is also getting closed and the control is coming out of the transaction. Help me out in displaying the error message.

    Hi,
    Open the interface and go to the Methods tab.
    Select the Method and click on Parameters.
    In the method parameters, declare a variable
    RETURN      Changing      Type     ALM_ME_BAPIRET2_T.
    Now, inside your code, declare   DATA : ls_return TYPE bapiret2.
    and populate this RETURN table, something like:
            if not ( wa_mara-mtart eq 'SPAR'  or wa_mara-mtart eq 'ZMRO' ).
        CLEAR ls_return.
        MOVE 'E' TO ls_return-type.
        MOVE 'ERR_MESSAGE' TO ls_return-id.
        MOVE '999' TO ls_return-number.
        MOVE 'Enter proper error message here' TO ls_return-message.
        INSERT ls_return INTO TABLE return.
        endif.
    Then, back in your program, check if this table is empty proceed otherwise, STOP or EXIT.

  • Send custom error message using IDoc conversion rule?

    Hello,
    I am using an Idoc conversion rule in BD79 to load cost centers.  In my conversion rule I use a conversion exit function module to concatenate 2 specific characters and sending cost center value together and then this output value placed in the receiving cost center field.  This works fine, but now I want to send a custom error message to the idoc and fail the idoc if the sending cost center value is greater than 8 digits. 
    Does anyone know how to send an error message or update an idoc with an error message using a conversion rule (bd79)?
    Thank you,

    If it is asking for the screen-lock passcode then:
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

  • Getting Error Message using Formatted Search

    Hi,
    I am using formatted search for validating a particular field, and that happens fine.  Kindly let me know if I can also display error messages using the same formatted search.
    If yes, what am I to include in the formatted search, and if No, please let me know the alternative.
    Thanks in advance.
    Satish.

    Hi Satish,
    if you validate the value of a field and intend to rise an error message on detection of invalid values in a separate window or in the status line there is no way to do it with Formatted Searches (as far as I know)!
    You could use the following methods as simple workarounds if you don't want to program a solution with the SDK:
    1. Solution
    You can display the text of an error message in the field you validate; of course, the invalid data then is overwritten with your error message, but you could construct the message from fixed text parts concatenated with the data found in the field.
    Be sure to save the original data of the field in your query before you do anything else. This way you sustain the field data in case the data is valid!
    Example:
    DECLARE @save AS ....
    SET @save = $[xxxxx]
    IF $[xxxxx] test on invalid data
      SELECT 'Error: Invalid data: ' + $[xxxxx] -- in case of error
    ELSE
      SELECT $[xxxxx] -- no error - sustain valid data
    END
    2. Solution:
    You define a sepate User Defined Field (UDF) for potential error messages - that's the way I often programmed it for our own applications. Suppose that the Formatted Search is connected to this UDF and the field to validate is field 'xxxxx'. The Formatted Search is triggered (auto-refresh) on change of field 'xxxxx':
    IF $[xxxxx] test on invalid data
      SELECT 'Error: Invalid data: ' + $[xxxxx] -- in case of error
    END
    May be that there are minor syntactical errors or missing type conversions in the code above - but I hope it gives you an idea on how to solve your problem without SDK programming!
    Good luck!
