Why in my iphone no airplay and airdrop

why in my iphone no airplay and airdrop

For Airplay to show up on your iPhone control center, you need to have an Apple TV box connected to the same WiFi network as your iPhone.
If you have an Apple TV box that is connected to the same WiFi network as your iPhone, and Airplay does not show up on your iPhone, try turning your WiFi router off and after waiting a few minutes back on and do the same with both devices, iPhone and Apple TV. Then when you tap the control center the Airplay button should show up.
Please note that as already explained by everyone, if there is no Airplay enabled device connected to the same network as the iPhone, the Airplay button will not show up on your iPhone.
Also as already explained, Airdrop is not available for your iPhone. It requires iPhone 5 or later.

Why? Not sure, could be lots of different reasons.
However, if you'd like to know how to fix the issue, then have you tried the troubleshooting steps listed inthe article that you linked from?
When in doubt: Restart, Reset, Restore from Backup, Restore as New.

IPhone 4S, AirPlay, and Apple TV conundrum

So, the 4S records 1080p HD video, and you can stream these over AirPlay to your HD TV via Apple TV - but Apple TV only does 720p.
Am I missing something here or does this mean that ATV will down-scale your 1080p videos to 720p (and then display them on your 1080p TV) or does it mean Apple will be releasing either a new ATV that supports 1080p, or a firmware upgrade so the current generation ATV can do 1080p?

Ok i found the info. The second generation apple tv will support 1080p HD streamng Via airplay after being updated to 5.0
Thank you. So ATV runs iOS? I didn't realize that (I don't have one, but will get one when I get a 4S).

Why is my iPhone not recognized and why doesn't it charge?

My iPhine will not charge. I have tried another working iPhone cord and wall unit and it doesn't work as well. Also my iPhone does not show on iTunes when plugged into the MacBook Pro with either cord. I am also getting a message that "the accessory being used is not compatible" when the phone is not using any accessory.
I think it is a unit problem. I have tried the restore, reset procedure, but don't want to lose recent pictures, so I haven't done the final restore procedure. Help?

sevencycleman,
The message you are getting about "This accessory..." and the fact that a known good cord didn't work indicates there is probably something wrong with the dock connector on the iPhone.
I would recommend taking it into the Genius Bar at an Apple Retail Store if there is one near you, or calling AppleCare.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Why is my iPhone so slow and signals are jumping in and out

My iphone is failing my with the signals after i updated the software to ios7

Any change after a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release?

Why does my IPhone Keep Vibrating and Not Charging?

I am having trouble with my phone. The phone is almost a year old, but not quite. The charger is a bit worn, and I'm beginning to wonder if the charger is my problem. I have it on a wall charger by my bed so I can check the time if need be. Here's my issue: it vibrates. A lot. Randomly. And I can't sleep. I'm having problems getting it to stop. I don't know if the connection is weak in the cord, but sometimes it will stop charging, then start again and vibrate. And it'll do this over and over, often it's in really quick succession. I looked online and several people have the same thing. Also, a message/notification will pop up. It says something to the effect of: "Charging is not supported with this accessory." I'm starting to worry about it and wonder if it's killing my phone, because my phone isn't holding a charge. (It just went off about four or five times right now...) My lock button is broken, so I CANNOT TURN THE PHONE OFF. What should I do?
What's the issue, and how can I fix it? My sleep level is low and I need to know if I need to buy another charger. To sum things up, my questions are:
What's causing the vibrations and notifications?
Is this a hardware issue, or a problem with the cord connection?
How much does a new cord cost?
Thanks for looking, and please answer. I need to know whats going on ASAP.
Thanks again,
Username411

Hey Username411,
Thanks for the question and detailed information. I believe you are correct in the issue of constant vibration stems from the iPhone disconnecting and reconnecting while charging. See this article for more information:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
1. Verify that the outlet being used is working.
2. Try another USB power adapter if available.
3. If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
4. Try another USB cable if available.
5. Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.
As suggested, you'll want to try charging the iPhone with a different cable to completely isolate the issue. Borrow one from a friend or family member if possible, but if not you can purchase a new one from Apple directly or an authorized reseller. It is important to buy an Apple-branded charger, which leads us to your last question:
Apple 30-pin to USB Cable can be purchase from the Apple Online Store for $19 USD:

If you find that the issue does lie with your iPhone, check out your service options (as you may still be in warranty). You may want to review your options anyway due to that lock button issue:

Why does my iPhone 3Gs stall and then the signal Drops?

Over the past couple of weeks, several times a day, when I am using my iPhone - normally an app, but sometimes declining a call, I can tell the app (or phone) sort of stalls and then immediately all of my bars disappear and I totally lose me signal. Then it says "Searching..." in the upper left-hand corner and maybe after 1 or 2 minutes, it picks up the signal again.
This is getting annoying. I am quite sure it is not a network problem since no one else on the area is experiencing the same thing. It happens on multiple apps, so my guess it is with the phone. I really do not think it is with the SIM card...
Any one have the same problem? I've looked online for posts about similar problems and have found nothing.

Actually, what's probably happened is the signal dropped, the phone is having trouble dealing with it, eventually gives up and then updates the signal icon to show it's dropped.
It's common in networking that apps don't handle certain types of networking problems well or rely on the network layer which may be too aggressive in re-trying before telling the calling app there's a problem. This is tricky stuff whether a computer plugged into a network jack or Wi-Fi or cell tower.
If it happens to you everywhere then drop by Apple but it might just be happening in certain areas due to a cell tower problem.

Why is my iphone 5 rebooting and freezing under iOS 7?

My iPhone 5 worked perfectly every day for a year. Now that I've upgraded to iOS 7 it freezes frequently and reboots itself every few hours. What is wrong and how can I fix it?

I take it you've got the original iPhone 5?
If so, I highly recommend that you switch these off in Settings:
1) WiFi
2) Bluetooth
3) Mobile Data (internet usage via 3G etc)
Don't leave them running for long periods, they'll drain your battery at an alarming rate, even with Mobile Data turned on, your battery won't last for more than 3 days!!
Mobile Data is found in 'Mobile' in settings.
Also, some Settings that will cause a fairly gradual drain are:
1) Privacy>Location services>System Services - Turn off: Location based iAds, and Location Services (uses GPS)
2) GPS - Turn off
3) Change your Brightness to the second "s" in brightness
4) iTunes and Appstore settings - turn off automatic download updates if your really desperate
5) General>background App Refresh - Turn off
Note that some apps make extensive use of internet, eg. Facebook and Twitter and such, you'll have to manage these much tighter than normal. As in, don't leave them running in the background, quit those apps, as they'll keeping using the internet (checking for updates) when not in use by the user.
After you've done these, make a note of the percentage battery at the time, and leave it in sleep mode for an hour. If it's used about 1% or none, then you're back to normal battery usage, and it's fixed it.
Let us know what happens.

Why does my iPhone 5 freeze and shuts off?

I replaced my iPhone 5 recently because of a lock button issue but now this new phone freezes! I can lock my screen but when I press any other button the screen will not light up again so I have to reset it. Is this something I should take into the store or just live with it? I have three months warranty.

Why did my iPhone (not PCs) suddenly require a change in POP/SMTP server spec's for one (only one) of my email accounts?

Hello! Why has my (iPhone only) POP and SMTP settings suddenly changed for one (oddly only one) of my email sub-accounts? -It changed from "incoming.verizon.net" and "outgoing.verizon.net" to pop.verizon.net and smtp.verizon.net, respectively, ALL BY ITSELF!?
For example, I have had two verizon email accounts on my iPhone for some time, each originally set up with the default "incoming.verizon.net" and "outgoing.verizon.net" for receive/sending email. Suddenly, without my changing anything in my settings, my "[account-1]" account would not work via iPhone (yet still worked via desktop PC)- it was not until I completely deleted the "[account-1]" account from my iPhone and recreated it that it would work, HOWEVER, iPhone AUTO-creation process for this POP account settings now picked up "pop.verizon.net" and smtp.verizon.net" instead of the previous standard "incoming.verizon.net" and "outgoing.verizon.net" settings. (Yet "incoming.verizon.net" and "outgoing.verizon.net" is still necessary for all other verizon accounts, as well as for my "[account-1]" on desktop PCs) Has someone, for example, affected (illegally...?) a redirection of my "[account-1]" mail through other servers...? NOTE: ALL my acocunts have been using the incoming 995 and outgoing 465 ports for some time without problems until this issue started a couple days ago.

Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events from my iPhone in my mac pro if I already registered it in the cloud?

Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events already registered in my iPhone, in my Mac Pro ? I already actualize LION OSX and selected these items in the adjustments menu of the icloud. I could do it just once, after I installed Lion OSX, but up to the moment it does not updates.

Assuming you activated iCloud, try going to Settings>iCloud and make sure Calendars and Contacts are set to ON.

Why I'm happy I bought a Verizon iPhone... and not At&t

For years, my brothers (and we are all adults... very mature... haha) have rubbed their iphones in my face... always showing me how much better their phones were than mine. They kept taunting me asking why I didn't get an iphone... and then smacked me with the fact that, oh yeah! My provider doesn't have the iphone!
Well, the glorious day came and the Verizon iphone was announced. Whats more, I was ready for a new contract! I was so excited! They then had to rub in my face that their network was faster and they can do data and calls at the same time. I countered with the more 3g and better CALL service... but of course, this didn't matter to die-hard At&t customers...
I've had my phone since Monday, and absolutely love it. I am absolutely thrilled with it. Then Friday night came... the weekly dinner at the parents, where the Verizon iphone and the At&t iphone came head to head. My on brother asked for a speed test. Yes... At&t was faster on the iphone 4 (the verizon iphone 4 beat the at&t 3gs that my one brother still has.. he'll be ready for the 5 with his contract renewal). There was no doubt in my mind that an iphone 4 on at&t would be faster that the one on Verizon. I then asked how many calls they dropped this week... They had a few... I had none... a phone that serves its purpose PLUS the extras... still sounds better to me...
Then the moment happened. My brother's 3gs dropped a call... then couldn't make any or receive any. He thought it was his phone because his is about 1.5 years old now... So I called him from my verizon phone. The call went through... then after a few minutes, his call dropped. He tried calling my mother, who also has the at&t iphone 4... it didn't work. She tried calling him... didn't work. My other brother jumped in... it seemed that At&t was having network problems! I was able to get a call through to all of them for a short period before they would drop my call.
As my brother finally got a call through to another at&t subscriber, he was burdened with having to say "Hello? Hello? Can you hear me? Hello? How about now? Can you hear me now?" I couldn't contain myself. I pulled up my youtube and set my phone in front of him with this playing...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2H-3Gf_fL8
The best satisfaction came when he asked to borrow my phone so that he can actually make a phone call. Way to go verizon! May not be the FASTEST network... but I'm happy to say that it is the most reliable!

lol...that's priceless. i golf with 3 friends that used to be verizon users and all switched 2 years ago to get an iphone. i have an android. when they first got them, they would activate their gps golf app just because they could to show off their new toy (even though in phoenix, the courses we play HAVE gps built in to the golf carts...lol). they would input their cores into their apps that kept track of their handicap, scores, driving distance, etc (mind you, my android could do all of this as well). but then it came...we were running an hour and a half late and were meeting our wives for dinner. we play desert courses out side of the city. i called my wife to let her know we'd be late and not to show up for a while. they all 3 could not and asked to use my phone. normally i would've gladly handed it to them, but because they had been SO childish about showing off their toys i simply said "sorry...i can't. you guys all switched carriers and are now KILLIN my minutes since you are no longer in verizon's network." now i had told my wife to call their wives and pass on the message to meet us later....but i didn't tell them that because it was just WAY too much fun watching them sweat for the next 2 hours over how angry their wives were going to be that we would be at the restaurant 2 hours late.
if you REALLY want to up your brothers, you can pay for the hotspot feature ($20/month)...just for a month. the next time they can't send or recieve data, activate your hotspot feature and tell them they are welcome to use your wifi signal from your phone to make their iphone useable again....lol. and if they ever need to borrow it to make a call just let them know that you can't because they burn all of your minutes (if you have a limit) by remaining with at&t...lol.
