Why don't FM transmitters work with my iphone 3gs?

I have tried 3 now, which all work on my friends iphone 3GS. All work on my old ipods too... sometimes it will come up with 'this accessory won't work with this iphone' but still works on my friends identical (tho his is 32gb, mine 16gb) - anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?
Also, restored my iphone the other day so the software etc is all up to date, but still no joy.
Any help appreciated, tearing my hair out here!!
Thanks,
Ian.

I have the same problem. Same with my iPad. And worst. I use my iPod touch at the gym, I used to connect the iPod on the threadmill and was able to watch videos (through the dock connector) not working any more, I only have the sound.
I tried the composite video cable at home, just like you not working!!!
Apple do something!!!

There's an article that helps with troubleshooting steps for issues activating iMessage that I think is worth a look. See if any of the suggested steps work for you:

Why did my motorola s9-hd stop working with my iPhone 3gs?

Why did my motorola s9-hd stop working with my iPhone 3gs? I can't even be a foot away from my iPhone before my bluetooth headset losses signal. It wasn't like that before. What changed and how can it be fixed?

Sounds like you inadvertently have the Add Anchor Point tool active. Click and hold to get the full selection and choose the "regular" Pen tool at the top. (Or, just tap the P key.)

Is there ANY car stereo that REALLY works with an iPhone 3GS?

Right now I use an older iRiver MP3 player with an older Pioneer headunit in my car. I have to control the player directly, which really ***** when you want to find a certain song while driving. Very unsafe.
I want to integrate a digital media player with a car stereo (to be controlled with a wireless remote or steering wheel remote). I also plan on getting an iPhone 3GS hopefully in the next few months. I don't want to mess around with multiple devices, so I would prefer to put my music on the iPhone and use it as an iPod.
I've been looking at several car stereos from Pioneer, Alpine, Clarion, Kenwood, etc. that come with iPod control built-in and a USB cable for connecting the iPod or iPhone to the stereo. Most of these advertise iPhone compatibility, but many reviews I've read says the iPhone compatibility, especially the 3GS w/ newer software/firmware is spotty at best.
I really don't want to deal with issues like this, so I'm wondering if there's any particular models that really work WELL with an iPhone 3GS, preferably in the $350-under range.

I went to the Apple Store and they told me that there wasn't a cord that would allow me to play my music from my iPhone to my car stereo.
So...
I bought an iPod because I wanted my music in my car.
I also bought this Kensington Digital FM Transmitter/Auto Charger for my iPod as well. I found a radio station and it worked perfectly.
I thought to myself, why not try to hook my iPhone up to that cable and see if it worked.
Well it did and so I took my iPod back and now am able to use my iPhone in my car using the Kensington cord!!
Here is the link to that cord:
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=F92 F7BFD&nplm=TD145LL/A
It just goes into your cigarette lighter and then you set a radio station on the cord and then tune onto the radio station on your car.
Hope that helps,
Sam
P.S.- Your iPhone is going to tell you that the product is not compatible with the iPhone and would like to know if you want to put it into airplane mode.
Well just select "NO" and then your phone will work like normal and play your music through your speakers and it will still be able to receive calls while listening to your music, the music will just fade out while you are driving and allow you to answer your call and then once you are done, continue playing your song right where it left off.

Creative T7900 Why don't 7.1 work with mplayer 10?

Hi.
I have Creative T7900 speaker system and soundblaster audigy 2 ZS platinium pro and my problem is that i can't get the 7.1 surround working with mediaplayer 10,winamp,creative media source when i try to play mp3s or music CDs it just gives me sound from the 2 front speakers (left and right) even though i tried to set the program to use 7.1. But when i play DVDs in powerDVD for exampel the 7.1 sound works fine. Could it be the mp3s? or does mplayer 0 and such have support for 7.1

Kara,
Try turning on CMSS.

Why don't TypeKit Fonts work with Edge Inspect

I have a Typekit kit setup with localhost added to its allowed domains and all mobile options checked. Running the site locally on http://localhost:4567/ works fine. The fonts load and display correctly.
However, when I connect an iPhone 4, 4s or iPad 2 using Edge Connect, the fonts do not load.
How should I troubleshoot this? I've found technical note suggesting that republishing the kit should solve it, but it does not and it is a new kit anyway.
I have tried adding the specific port to the allowed domains for the kit - /localhost:4567, but this has no effect.

Hi,
Yes. You're in luck. Had a couple of very helpful people from Adobe support look into it and here is their final response in full:
TLDR: It won't work out the box but there are good workarounds.
When you're browsing a local website via the hostname `localhost`, which would not be accessible to any other devices on your network, Edge Inspect automatically gets your machine's local IP address (which is not the same as the external IP as shown on sites like whatismyip.com) and sends that to the mobile apps. For instance, let's say I have a Sinatra application running in Chrome on my Mac as http://localhost:4567. My iPhone wouldn't be able to understand the hostname "localhost", but it can see my Mac using its IP address 10.1.10.1, so Edge Inspect will navigate to http://10.1.10.1:4567.
So, to get fonts working, you could add both `localhost` and `10.1.10.1` to your kit. However, we don't recommend adding local IPs to kits because they tend to change without warning. (In my example above, the next time I turn on my computer its IP could have changed to 10.1.10.2, but all I would know is that fonts had stopped working on my devices again.)
To work around this, we recommend using some form of "dynamic DNS" — basically, a domain name that is automatically updated with your current IP and therefore will always point to your computer.
If you're using a Mac, the simplest thing would be to use your Mac's Bonjour hostname. Bonjour is a technology built into Mac OS X and iOS to help devices find each other automatically over networks.
To find your Bonjour hostname:
1. Open System Preferences on your Mac.
2. Choose the Sharing icon.
3. Your Bonjour hostname will be displayed in the top area, under the "Computer Name" field.
You can add the hostname that appears there to your kit, and use it on any Apple device on your network. For example, my Bonjour name is Davids-rMBP.local, so I can browse to http://Davids-rMBP.local:4567 on any Mac or iOS device and see my Sinatra app.
Unfortunately, this simple solution will only work on Apple devices or Windows PCs with Apple's Bonjour software installed — you can't use this hostname with Android phones or tablets. If you need a hostname that will work on any device, there are a couple of options I'd recommend:
1. A third-party service called Forward offers a way to easily forward ports from your computer to other devices anywhere on the internet. You can learn more about them and sign up for a 30-day trial here: https://forwardhq.com. Forward will give you a permanent domain name for your forwarded app that you can add to your kit, such as `dev-yourcompany.fwd.wf`.
2. 37signals has a free "wildcard DNS" service called xip.io that will automatically forward traffic to a local IP address. You can get your current local IP address by opening System Preferences, then choosing Network. The IP address should be shown in the small text underneath the connection status for whatever connection is active (i.e. has a green dot next to it). Once you have the IP, you can access your computer at [YOUR IP].xip.io. To get fonts working, add *.xip.io to your kit. Remember that your IP may change, so if your site stops being accessible you should check to make sure you have the correct IP address.
I personally use xip.io if I need to test Typekit on multiple devices using Edge Inspect. It's certainly not the easiest option to use, but it works quite well with almost no setup and it's free.

Why does flash player not work with facebook?

Why does flash player not work with fcebook? Whenever I wish to view a video, I get the message that i need to upgrade my flash player. Then no matter how often I download and install flash player I still get the message that I need to upgrade my flash player. When I go check which version I have, I always get the message that I have the most current one. I run Mozilla Firefox with Windows. I don't know anything else.

This means you don't have the latest version installed. Update to 11.9.900.117, and Firefox will allow it: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

Thank you for your interest in Adobe Flash Player. Unfortunately Apple does not allow Flash Player to be installed on iPhone or iPad.
May I add, this is the answer I get When I try to Download Adobe Flash Player
You get the message because that is exactly the situation. Apple has not allowed any Flash on iOS devices.
What site are you trying to see? Many sites now provide Flash alternatives. For example, if you want to listen to Pandora, instead of using the Flash on the Pandora website, instead you download the Pandora app for the iPad.
In the future, even if Apple wants to add Flash to the iPad, it won't be able to because Adobe will no longer be making it at all, for any mobile device:

If you often go to sites that use a lot of Flash and they don't have an alternative, you should write to them and tell them to stop using Flash.

All of the fm transmitters doesn't work with my iphone 4

At first i had one of those griffin fm transmitters and it worked fine but after a while it stoped working and the fm transmitter dint turned on anymore i thught it was the fm transmitter was the problem but when i tried a different fm transmitter it did the same thing. help

So the FM transmitter won't turn on at all... and you think the problem is the iPhone? Is the battery in the FM transmitter flat? If you turn on the transmitter without plugging it into anything can you tune to it on the radio? What if you plug the FM transmitter into another device? an iPod, CD player... something...
I don't see how the problem can be related to the iPhone in any way. Do headphones work with your iPhone? If so, then the problem is definitely NOT the phone.

Why LR4.4 no longer works with Blurb?

Hi,
why LR4.4 no longer works with Blurb?
If I configure a book and then click Submit to Blurb does not happen anymore. I even looked at the network traffic and it seems as if the IP is pinged to the contact record no longer respond. I do not understand. This has worked fine all the time. On the computer no setting has been changed. No software is installed that would prevent something. The last book has worked wonderfully. Interesting things, when I export the book as PDF and then upload at Blurb, Blurb complains that the standard by which PDF is not true. X2003 PDF version .... but I am surprised very strong and I really suspect that there adobe wants to put a stop to that one is supposed to buy the new LR version. But everything just a guess. Maybe someone can help me or even has a similar problem.
greeting
Mario.

Try:
- 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If not successful that means that the IOS update broke compatibility, Since the 3G and 4G iPods has difference hardware, there are some differences in the iOSs for the two model iPod.
