"charging not supported by this accessory". If I leave it plugged in, it charges, but I noticed that the charge doesn't seem to hold as long. What does this mean?
Why every time I plug my phone in using a USB cord or charger does it say "charging not supported with this accessory"? The phone will charge if I leave it plugged in long enough, but I noticed that it doesn't hold the charge like it used to. Is this the battery, or something else?
Hi CJ-
There are some chargers designed for thr original iPhone that are not compatible with the 3G and later models. Are you using the USB cable that came with the 3G? That cable, when plugged into a computer USB port, or, when plugged into the power cube / wall outlet, should charge the 3G just fine.
Due to the nature of Lithium Ion batteries, there are safeguards in place to prevent the wrong type of charger from supllying charge voltage to the batteries, and if the proper pins and resistance is not detected by the phone, the circuitry will block charging and give that message.
Therefore: If you are using a 3G compatible (oem, or otherwise valid charger), and you're seeing that "not supported" message, it could be the cable you're using, or it's the phone/circuitry detection in the phone that detects the cable / charger type.
And, if you are getting some charge, but it's not holding very long, it could be that it's a 3G, and the lifespan of the battery is near end of life. The fact that you're getting a charging not supported message is probably of more importance as to why the battery is not fully being charged.

When my time capsule tries to perform a back-up - i get the following error message.
The backup disk image "/volumes/data/myname's iMac.sparsebundle" could not be acccessed (error-1).
Is this something that can be resolved or is time capsule dead?Welcome to Apple Support Communities
That error is caused by different reasons. Have a look at this Pondini's page > http://pondini.org/TM/C17.html -
Anyone else having issues with third party changers saying "this accessory not supported". I get it every time I plug my phone. It only started after the iOS 7 update?
That's because part of iOS7 had code in it to look for and recognize unsigned cables.
In other words, Apple knew that people used non-signed ones and didn't care....until last month when they decided to care. People with iOS6 and lower should experience no issues (unless Apple patches those iOS versions) but folks with iOS7 will need to deal with it. -

I just purchased several items for I-pad and the billing statement says billed to store credit. What does this mean ? I have a $20 i-tunes card how do I pay with this ? I'm an old **** and don't talk to anyone who plays with I-pad etc.
That means it should have used your iTunes card credit = store Credit.

I keep getting this error code while trying to import a cd to my itunes: "Error occurred while converting the file. The disc you are attempting to use is full. removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space." What does this mean?
Well it probably means exactly what it says... How much free space is there on your hard drive where the iTunes Media folder resides? I believe there is also an obscure bug that can occur when software doesn't read the true value of the free space properly, and the workaround is, perversely, to duplicate some content so that with less actual free space the software in question perceives it as more. I've no idea if iTunes is affected by such a bug.

Hard to say. What problem is causing you to need to force close apps? That may be a clue.

Like above. I just am about to send a project to the printer and need to make sure there will not be any issues during the printing process like the colors coming out weird, etc...

what do you mean by used the correct CMYK space?
CMYK Spaces, usually described by an ICC profile, describe particular print conditions (print process, paper stock, raster width, …) and therefore simply converting to CMYK
• may be OK (if the print condition corresponds to the CMYK Working Space) but
• may also necessitate re-separation and avoidable loss of quality (if the target space and CMYK Working Space differ) -
I cannot eject my new ipod classic after sync with i-tunes on my pc due, it states, to open files being used by another application. What does this mean? How can I get my ipod to eject?
If it's a one-time "glitch," you can try restarting your computer with the iPod still connected. Try ejecting again after the restart.
If the problem recurs, you may have a process running (other than iTunes) that is accessing the iPod's storage. When connected, the iPod's "disk" is like other mounted volumes. This process may be some type of utility that continously monitors your mounted volumes for security reasons, such as to prevent access by malware.
If you know of such a program that you have running in the background, there may be a setting to exclude your iPod's disk. -
