Accessory error messages since iOS3.1.3

Dear Apple --
I'm frustrated.
I have a 32GB iPhone 3GS which has worked pretty darn well since acquisition last year.
But suddenly it started displaying error messages sometimes when connected to *the same cables* as I've been using since purchase — that is to say, the AT&T-supplied car-charger, and the Apple-supplied USB cable and AC adapter — which messages reportedly indicate accessories which were not properly Apple-licensed.
First, starting with iOS 3.1.3, “Charging is not supported with this accessory,” mostly (but not only!) seen with the car charger.
Now, starting today (not the first day running with iOS 4.0.1), "This accessory is not optimized for this iPhone ... You may experience noise caused by cellular interference and a decrease in cellular signal strength."
It seems unlikely that the car-charger from the EXCLUSIVE cellular carrier of the iPhone would not be properly licensed. It seems even less likely that the Apple-branded USB and AC adapters would not be properly licensed or not optimized for the iPhone with which they shipped. I can think of no good reason why these accessories would suddenly not be good enough.
This didn't start after a moisture incident with the phone (and in fact there have been no such). This didn't start after an impact incident (of which there have been few, and none severe). It started spontaneously -- and again, the messages are intermittent, which doesn't match to any reports I've seen about either moisture or impact damage.
There has been no mistreatment of the cables, and there's no spooge buildup in either phone port or cable end.
All that's left is software, and the only software that fits the picture is the OS.
So what's the deal, Apple?
Why do I have to disconnect and reconnect two or three or four times to get a nice big green battery image, instead of any one of several alerts complaining about my charger? Why do I have to watch to make sure that the charging status doesn't change when I put the phone down while connected to the car charger?
Why has this *gotten worse* with each update since 3.1.3, instead of getting better?
Your swift resolution of this issue will be most appreciated.

I am experiencing exactly the same issue. I live in the UAE and iphones are not serviced here. Ridiculous, really. I feel your pain. And no response from Apple?

'Bluetooth not available' error message since upgrading to Leopard

Hi, I regularly seem to get a 'Bluetooth not available' error message since upgrading to Leopard, any ideas why, have to reboot to shake it.
cheers
Simon

I solved the same issue by resetting the SMC. With the computer off, remove the battery and press and hold the power button for 5 seconds. Then reinstall the battery and restart. I haven't had any bluetooth issues since.

[SOLVED] [mkinitcpio] initramfs "build error" messages since v.18-1

Hi everybody,
Since the update from mkinitcpio 17-1 to 18-1 I get those build error messages while running mkinitcpio:
# mkinitcpio -p linux

However I can still boot and everything seems mostly fine. I haven't changed anything to my /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, here are the only customized parts:
MODULES="i915 dm_snapshot"
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block keymap encrypt lvm2 filesystems keyboard fsck
I'm using an encrypted root (ext4 over LVM over LUKS) and boot partition is contained in an (unencrypted) LVM logical volume. I also specify a few i915 module options in an /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf file as per the Intel Graphics wiki page:
# Intel graphics driver power-saving option :
options i915 i915_enable_rc6=7 i915_enable_fbc=1 lvds_downclock=1
Never had any such warnings before, but now it appears each and every time I update or reinstall my kernel (the default one). I went through Mkinitcpio wiki page, tried putting question marks after the listed modules and rebuilding but it didn't change anything... Any ideas?
Btw, I don't use any specific compression option and had the regular lzo name change during the same full system upgrade that updated mkinitcpio and linux.
Thanks

Yes indeed, removing /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf~ hidden backup file solved the warning issue. Strange but thanks ukhippo, I hadn't thought about checking other subforums!

Error message since upgrading iTunes

I recently upgraded to iTunes v7.1.1.5 and have since been getting an error message that states "RTHDCPL.EXE Illegal System DLL Relocation". I am running an HP Media Center PC with Windows XP Media Edition. Any advice on how to fix this error?

Hi, Peter8251.
I don't have any first hand knowledge of this problem but a quick Google Search suggests that it is not at all connected with your recent upgrade to iTunes 7.1.1.5.
There are a number of suggestions offered but if I were in your situation, the first thing I'd try is downloading and installing this MicroSoft Update .

Why suddenly all these Java error messages since upgrading to Lion?

Since I upgraded to OSX 10.8.2, suddenly I'm having no end of error messages having to do with Java not running—everything from coupon printer plug-in to online games not functioning anymore. All of these worked fine in 10.7.4. Is there a fix?

Since it is such a seething whole of exploits, Apple has disabled Java by default, both the JRE and the Web Applet launcher in Safari.
If you try to run a Java application, it will ask if you want to install it.
If you're just using web applets, you won't get asked. So, open Java Preferences which is in the /Applications/Utilities folder. It will ask if you want to install Java.
Then, open Safari preferences, Security tab, and enable Java.

TS4175 getting error message since IOS update "ApplePhotoStream.exe has stopped working"

Getting the error message ApplePhotoStreamw.exe has stopped working. This seems to have happed after the IOS6 update. Anyone else having this problem? Does anyone have a solution?

This is actually in Windows 7. Apple has an iCloud control panel for windows available. I have the newest version, but my pictures have not updated since March 2012.
This isn't a big deal as this is my work computer. I may just uninstall the iCloud Control Panel.

Time Machine "Backup disk not available" error message since install Snow L

Since installing Snow Leopard my back-ups have failed, generating the error message "The back-up disk is not available." Last successful back-up was immediately pre-install of Snow Leopard. TM looks like it is backing up but in the end I get the error message. The wireless aspect for internet connect works fine so I don't think connectivity is the issue.
I am not real techie so insult me with basics. Thanks.

I have four macs using time machine on a single 1TB drive connected to Airport Extreme through USB. This morning I got the dreaded error-109 on Mac#1. This occured right after I had added Mac#4 to the bunch. While adding the Mac#4, I mounted my airport disk and then used time machine to select it for backup. I forgot to eject it after it had done the initial backup. That was when the error occured on the Mac#1.
Mac #1 C2D Mini 2009 SL 10.6.2
Mac #2 G5 DP L 10.5.8
Mac #3 MBP 2009 SL 10.6.2
Mac #4 MB C2D2006 SL 10.6.2
First I turned off TM on all of the Macs. I mounted the airport disk again, on Mac#1. I deleted the sparsebundle for Mac#1. I opened TM and selected the airport disk for backup. It is now backing up again on Mac#1. When it is finished, I will turn on TM once again on the other macs and see what happens. There is still a chunk of space left on the airport disk, about 680GB after all of the backups

Dyld Error Message since upgrade

Hi,
Upgraded to SL. Mostly OK, but some applications (Apple Motion, Compressor, Aperture) all crash with same message:
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Versions/B/PluginManager
Referenced from: /Applications/Motion.app/Contents/MacOS/Motion
Reason: image not found
Well, its right. The image is not there. But presumably it was before upgrading. Anyone know a simple way to fix this?
Thanks,
Dan

What versions of these programs do you have?
Also, can you post the whole crash log here?
In your home folder, Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/

MobileMe error message since updrage from Leopard

I have suddenly started getting an error message pop up sporadically that says "You entered an invalid MobileMe member name or password. Verify your MM member name and password in MM System Preferences". I don't have a MM account and there is nothing filled in in the MM System Preferences. This did not happen before my upgrade to Snow Leopard. Anyone else having this problem or have a solution? Thanks!

Try the MobileMe forum.

Safari error messages since last updates

I ran the latest updates from Apple and now I'm getting weird messages every so often while on-line. The spinning pinwheel seems to appear more often than usual too.
First, I started getting a lot of messages requesting that I resend a form, even though I was only perusing my normal web sites.
Then, I got the following error message every so often when I clicked on the log-in icon on my Yahoo home page:
SRVE0255E: A WebGroup/Virtual Host to handle /igate_wam/controller.do has not been defined.
SRVE0255E: A WebGroup/Virtual Host to handle 135.161.15.200:443 has not been defined.
IBM WebSphere Application Server
It's happened 2 or 3 times over the last week, and I'd get this message 2 or 3 times a session before actually being able to get thru to the log-in screen. However, once I finally got to the log-in screen, I was able to log in just fine.
I contacted Yahoo and they weren't much help. They thought I had a virus or some malware in my browser and suggested I update the software., but I'm up to date.
Are they right?
NOTE: This all started about the time that I clicked on a link in an e-mail from a trusted source and landed in a weird web-site that was unrelated to the message itself. So, I deleted the e-mail and then used Time Machine to revert back to an image of my machine from before I opened the e-mail.
Anyway, any ideas re: what may be happening?
Should I be concerned?

Linc,
Thanks for the info.
That's what I figured, but there's still the question re: what's causing them.
I got the impression that Yahoo thinks something may have infected my browser and is attempting to re-direct me to nefarious web sites or something similar as they do not recognize the addresses that are failing.
Thanks again, and I'll keep you informed of new developments.

Accessory error messages

After plugging my phone into my stereo, I keep getting pop ups on my phone saying "charging is not supported with this accessory" and "This accessory is not optimized for this iPhone. You may experience noise interference and a decrease in cellular signal strength"
I have plugged my phone into the stereo loads of times before and it always pops up with this message when I first plug it in but I just tap dismiss and it goes again.
It has been happening for nearly 2 days now and since it started, I have had a couple of problems with the sound output as well.
Any ideas?

I just fixed my buddy's phone with this problem on 4.0.2 3g 8gb. I performed the following these steps:
1. take a toothbrush...clean chargine port
2. open up the iphone...inspect connection #4 and connector (I have experience doing this..if you don't, find someone who can)
The reason for opening the iphone is the connection and connector will appear corroded. Take a brush and gently clean the connection and connector and electronics around that area...you should see the connections/connector clean after that.
In order to open the iphone, unscrew the 2 screws by the charging port, then take a suction cup placed by the home button and pull open, but be careful because on the headphone jack side, there are 3 connections that need to be removed before totally removing the screen/lcd......If you have not done this before, then I suggest you find someone who has...
3. close the iphone up...
This worked on my buddy's phone...the sound for text messages came back, music played, and "heytell" finally worked...everything was working normal again and no more annoying messages.

Accessory Error Message???

At various, unrelated times, my iPhone4 displays the message: "This accessory is not optimized for the iPhone...etc" I have to Dismiss the error box to continue to use my iPhone! The weird part, I am not using an accessory! In fact I don't use any accessory with my iPhone! There doesn't seem to be any reason or timing for when this aggravating message appears. Any idea what's going on or getter, how to stop this from occurring? Thanks!

Don't jiggle the cable too hard, you may break it. Try just connecting it, and disconnecting it several times, or place the phone into the dock and remove it several times. There may be some dust or dirt on the contacts that are giving you the false indication (real to the phone) that you have it connected to something. If that doesn't work, try a gentle spray of canned duster. I wouldn't recommend applying anything liquid to clean it otherwise. Also, this indication can come from the line out connector on the dock. Try plugging and unplugging an 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) stereo audio plug into it to clean the connector.
