Charging not supported by this device

My iHome docking station does not charge my iPod and the message says, charging not supported by this device. How do I fix it, an update?

What generation iPod Touch do you have? The 3rd and 4th generations iPod Touch can update to 5.0.1 but it won't change your situation. What does your iHome docking station manual says?

    - Try restoring the iPod, first from backup and then try to factory settings/new iPod to rule out a software problem.
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and broken or cracked plastic.
    - Could you have damaged something when you took the iPod apart and replaced the Home button?

  • HT2188 I have an iphone 3GS that keeps getting the message "charging not supported by this device" Dismiss I have tried other usb adapters, car chargers, and directly hooked to the computer and still get the error message. Software is up to date as well.

    I have an IPhone 3GS that keeps getting the message "charging not supported by this device" Dismiss. I have tried several different ac adaptors, car chargers and even directly connected to USB on computer and still get the same message. Software is up to date as well. Help!

    Clean the dock connector with a soft dry brush.    

  • Can you turn off the "Charging not supported with this device" messages?

    I recently bought a standard dock extender cable in order to connect my iPad to my Apple HiFi and have had music from Pandora constantly interrupted by sporadic "Charging not supported with this device" messages. The messages will continue to come up repeatedly despite pressing the "Dismiss" bar repeatedly.
    Is there a way to turn those kinds of warnings off in either iPad Settings or in iTunes when docking the iPad?

    Try connecting the iPad to the iPod Hi-Fi with a male to male mini-stereo cable. I use one of these cables to connect my Airport Express to my iPod Hi-Fi, so that I can use it with AirTunes.
    You can even combine the cable with the Apple iPad Dock, which would let you charge the iPad while using it with the iPod Hi-Fi.

    iPad 1, charges normally using OEM Wall Charger.  Also I use a Zagg (3rd party) portable rechargable battery charger (designed for Apple products).  Recently, and only sporadically, the iPad will not charge using the Zagg, only using the wall charger.  I've tried different cords, that's not the problem.  I've reset my settings as suggested in another thread, that doesn't work either.  I even returned the Zagg and got a new one.  It charges my iPhone just fine.  I charged the iPad using the wall charger, let battery run down, and now the Zagg works on the iPad...Any ideas?
    iPad 1, running 5.1.1

    Maybe i don't fully understand the issue, but aren't you saying it essentially works now? Personally, I avoid using third party equipement to charge any iOS device (I have have an ancient iPod that uses a belkin charger, but doesn't get much use). Could be a design issue with the Zagg improperly reading the iPad. Hard to say. but if it currently works, try using it through a few cycles and see if you have an issue. If not, you basically solved the problem, it would seem.

  • My ipod touch 3rd gen doesnt work on usb charger but on dock it says "Charging is not supported with this device" How do I fix it?

    I'm taking it in to get it looked at but will they cover this? And is there a way to fix it before I take it in. I'm still under the 1 year warranty plan. My friend said that they might exchange it. It's a 64GB and I use it for a lot of things like my picture, music, contacts, and email. It's got scratches on the back but other wise its ok the screen isn't cracked or scratched.
    I have a usb charger for it but when I plug it into the PC or my wall charger it won't charge. It just says  "Charging is not supported with this device". It even says that sometimes when it's not charging. But it works on a dock station like my clock or radio.
    Also my home buttom won't work unless I press down real hard. This scares me because I'm afraid I wil persss it too hard and break it even more.
    Please help.

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • What does this message mean Charging is not supported with this device?

    What does this message mean Charging is not supported with this device?

    You've gotten 2 good answers already, but there's a key assumption in both that you got the message when connecting the iPhone to some other device. If this is the case you can get an adapter in the Apple online store that will allow charging from older devices.
    If, however, this message appears when you are not connected to anything the problem is dirt or moisture in the dock connector at the bottom of the phone. Clean it with a dry toothbrush or air blast.

  • !Charging is not supported with this device! When using original charger.

    My iPhone4 suddenly won't take a charge. Because I carry it in my pocket, I suspected there was a lack of conductivity. I used air to clean the slot and a small plastic pick. Some dust bunnies came out of the slot and I plugged it in to charge. I got the message, "!Charging is not supported with this device!" This didn't make sense, because I was using the same original charger that I've been using for 2 years.
    Any suggestions?

    The dock connector may be damaged or the cable may be damaged, try a different cable.

  • HT4060 charging not supported by this accessory after using the same device for a year

    I own a first gen iPad. I have always used the same wall charger to charge it for the past 17 months. Suddenly I get this message that charging is not supported by this device. So I plug it into my iMac to charge.....same message. This is a software problem. I find that thousands of owners or iPads and other ios devices are all suddenly having the same issue. Apple has to offer a update to fix this. It is not a cable or connector or hardware issue. The only way I can now charge my iPad is to do a reset. Then it will charge for a few days normally until this message comes back. APPLE PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM AND ISSUE AN UPDATE TO FIX IT NOW.

    This is an iPad user to user forum. Apple does not read posts.
    Suggest you update to the current iOS version 5.1.1.
    Look at Apple feedback.

  • My iPad 5 will not charge, I get the message " CHARGING IS NOT SUPPORTED WITH THIS DEVICE

    I get the message " CHARGING IS NOT SUPPORTED WITH THIS DEVICE. I've checked different cables and chargers ( from our other iPad 5, and cleaned the port, but it won't charge plugged into the computer or ghargers.

    If charging will not work with valid cables and chargers and the Lightning port is clear, there is likely a hardware issue.  Take the iPad to an Apple store genius bar and have it tested by the techs.
