"Charging with this accessory is not supported" But it's my iPhone charger?

When I try to connect my phone to the iPhone charger in the wall socket, and also the USB cable to my iMac it say's "Charging with this accessory is not supported".
What's the deal?
Also when I make calls, I get a freaky alien noise nearly everytime. I can hang up and recall the number and it will work fine, but almost every first call is like this, and no doubt I'm getting charged for it too.
Any help appreciated.

I had a Belkin charger and cord for the iPod Touch 3G because Apple failed to include a necessary AC adapter to charge one of their products, which I thought was cheap being that it is a 300+ device. Anyways, when I plugged my new iPhone 4 in, I could not turn on the sound and it didn't have any sound. When I used the cable that came with the iPhone, I was able to get my sound back. The problem is with the cord. If it is not completely compatible with Apple then you will not be able to charge the iPhone.

  • My iPhone 3GS won't charge. It saids this accessory is not supported but the charger works on other IPhones. What do I do???

    My iPhone 3GS won't charge! Whenever I plug it in it saids charging not supported by this accessory. What do I do?? Help please!!!

    You can clean the iPhone's dock connector with an old dry toothbrush.
    You won't know for certain, but if no change after making sure the dock connector port is clean, more than likely there is some damage.
    Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby where it can be determined if there is damage to the dock connector port or if there is another hardware problem.

  • My Ipod Touch is giving a error message of 'This accessory is not supported by iPod Touch' whenever I dock it in my Bose Sound Dock and refuses to play but will charge the device?? am screaming mad and want to be able to play audio thru using the 2

    my ipod touch will not play music thru the Bose sound dock and displays the message 'this accessory is not supported by iPod Touch' how can I fix it?

    "This accessory is not supported" usually refers to an inability to charge the iPod, but the music should still play throguh the Bose dock. My iPod Touch works this way.
    However, when the Bose refuses to make any sound, I unplug it from mains power for one minute. Then plug it back in and try again. This always sorts out the sound issue, but of course, it still will not charg the Touch.
    What happens in your case?

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable.
    - 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.

    Hi Eileen,
    With iOS 7, the devices have become more sensitive to the type of cable that is being used to charge the device. I have found that with my iPhone 4, once I upgraded to iOS 7, it became a little more sensitive to even my iPad charger. It doesn't always recognize it if I just plug it in, but if I slide it in slowly until I hear the charging tone, then I can push it the rest of the way in, and everything works as it should.
    Any chance the cable is bent or frayed? How long have you had the device and cable? If it is under a year old, take it into the Apple Store (device and cable) so you can show them what is happening. They should replace your cable.
    Cheers,

  • "This accessory is not supported with iphone"

    Just got my iphone 4 loving it. Rocking the 1st generation dock, that came with my old iPhone I think, for the iPhone classic. I thought it fit and audio comes through the line out thing, my iTunes stuff plays perfect through my phone, but I keep getting:"This accessory is not supported with iPhone".
    Is this true or is something wrong?

    I would say that this is likely the result of apples preference to manufacture things that are premium in nature.
    Case in point.  My apple g4 laptop is 20 years old, and still works.  My only problem with it is that if you pick it up with one hand it warps the motherboard, and detaches the video chip, crashing the laptop.  But the point of that is that it is a precision device.  IE like a precision piece of NASA equipment, the laptop must live on a flat surface, and not be subjected to warping.
    Now applying this concept to the iPhone 6... its .25" thick.  has a medium to large screen.  And does not heat up when playing YouTube videos for 8 hours wile charging with its native accessory.  But think about that.  to achieve that kind of performance with out heating up, the iPhone must be engineered to such an extent, as to make it sensitive to the power input.
    Incidentally, if I plug my iPhone 6 into a car charger, I bought at a gas station, and run YouTube, it heats up immensely... probably because it has to much current running into it.
    In answer to your original questions, I would say that your accessory is not providing enough power to your iPhone to safely charge it.
    other explanations might include an accessory that has a grounding problem, (the lady who electrocuted herself in china)
    or the accessory is affected by a floating ground ( the negative line is not at zero volts)/ (or the iPhone needs a negative connection that is floating, and your accessory provides a negative connection at zero volts...
    Personally I experienced this message on incompatibility, after my iPhone 6 was plugged into my pc for several house.  Incidentally that was how I learned that my work pc was having power issues... the USB power was dirty, which was causing unusual performance in the pc, and causing incompatibility with the phone.

  • I have just purchased a lightning to 30 pin adaptor to use on an iPad mini and a gen5 iPod touch both devices are running iOS 8.1.3 and come up with The error message "this accessory is not supported by this device "

    I have just purchased a lightning to 30 pin adaptor to use on an iPad mini and a gen5 iPod touch both devices are running iOS 8.1.3 and come up with The error message "this accessory is not supported by this device "
    THis is means they are not charging on a 30 pin cable and the touch won't work in my Apple iPod dock - no audio out or charge. Have re powered both devices to no avail am wondering if the iOS version is the problem
    Help!

    If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
    This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview
    Is this what you bought?
    You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be.

  • Why- I try to connect my Samsung PL 55 camera to my iPad 1 using the camera kit it tells me this accessory is not supported by iPad.   I have tried restarting etc but nothing works

    I got the camera kit and plug in my Samsung pl55 camera.  The iPad eventually says this accessory is not supported by iPad.    a matte camera asks me if ! want to connect the USB to a computer or a printer.   I select computer but by then it's too late and everything just sits and nothing happens. 

    Are you using Apple's iPad Camera Connection Kit?
    Have you plugged your Samsung PL55 into the kit as shown here:
    Are you trying to send JPEG images from the camera to the iPad?
    Your post has a portion that starts with " a matte".  I don't understand it.  Perhaps the beginning of the sentence got omitted.

  • My phone says this accessory is not supported. But it happens when when ever I do ANYTHING! Help?????

    My phone says this accessory is not supported. It happens all the time. Charging or not. It does it all the time. I can be using the phone, using google, opening an app, it don't matter.  Can someone help?

    Check the charging port. Sounds like there is some kind of debris in there that could be causing this. You can clean with a small toothpick or soft toothbrush.

    Have you tried resetting your phone and/or your iPad? Hold down the Home and power keys until the silver apple appears. Might help. Can't hurt.

    That message basically just means that Apple wishes you would only buy Apple products for your Apple products . I get that message all the time with my iPod dock. Just click OK and move on. As for the audio player - it may be broken.

  • This Accessory is Not Supported by iPhone

    I have used a bedside iHome docking station for the last year with no problems.  All of a sudden, I get the message "This Accessory is Not Supported by iPhone".  It continues to charge just fine, but it disables the sound.  After charging, I have to shut the phone off, and when I turn it back on, the sound works again.  There has been no water damage on either the docking station or phone.  I have cleaned both the connections with air and with a dry soft bristle toothbrush.  Nothing has worked.  I have iOS 6.0.1.  Any suggestions?

    Having "this accessory is Not Supported by iPhone" on many of my non-apple accessories. What's up with that??? Researched on a particular accessory and saw the below. Apple you have some bugs that need fixing. Interoperability and consumer choice is the best platform.
    Anyone one else having sudden issues in the last year????

    I have been dealing with this for weeks now. Contacted Logitech and they said it is an iOS 6.1 issue! Chatted with Apple iPhone support who recorded my call as a complaint/bug; recommended submitting feedback to Apple engineers; and so I wait for it to appear in iOS 6.1.3 or later. I have iPhone 4S w/iOS 6.1.1 and error message stating accessory is not supported by my device; whereasy wife's iPhone 4 works fine on the s751i

  • After iOS 8 update: "This accessory is not supported by this iPad" using Digital AV Adapter on iPad 2

    After the update to iOS 8 on an iPad 2 I receive the error: "This accessory is not supported by this iPad" using a digital AV adapter. It works for about 20 seconds before I get the error. Same adapter worked with iOS 7.1, same adapter still works on my iPhone 4s with iOS 7.1.
    Curious if anyone else has this issue. The adapter is not a genuine Apple adapter, so I think I'll just buy an official Apple adapter, but I'd love to hear if anyone else has upgraded to iOS 8 and can still use their digital AV adapter on iOS 8 with iPad 2, and what brand of adapter you have. Thanks!

    Still not working. My adapter shows as an apple A1422. I can successfully plug it in to an iPad 2 with an older IOS but mine which is on 8.1.2, gives the error "This accessory is not supported by this iPad." I tried turning off the iPad and connecting it to the tv before turning it on. When it is turned on, it displays on the tv for a moment, then the message pops up and no picture is on the tv any longer. Clicking ok does not change the lack of a picture On the tv, but I can use the iPad as normal.
    I've tried the adapter on a different iPad 2 that is not on IOS 8 and no message appears.
    Help, please!

  • This accessory is not supported by this iPhone

    I have a Sony personal audio docking systyem RDP-XF100IP and all of a sudden when I place my iPhone 4s into the station to listen to music I get a popup saying that this accessory is not supported by this iPhone.  I have had the system for quite a few months and never had a problem before.  I have tried cleaning the connecttors on the system and phone but still get the message.  When I place the phone into the system it does start chargeing it though so it is getting a connection.  Any ideas?

  • I have an iPhone 3gs, it got damp and now  says that it cannot be charged with this accessory. What can i do?

    I brought an iPhone 3gs two days ago, and must have knocked my drink onto it when i was asleep because when i woke up it was soaking wet. I dried it out and tried charging it and it said that it couldnt charge with this accessory. Now its totally dead and wont charge. What do i do?

    You've most likely shorted the battery out or fried the logic board, or both. Your options are not good. Apple has an out of warranty replacement program, cost for a 3GS is US $149. I wouldn't recommend you go that route, as the 3GS has been discontinued. A third-party repair shop may be your best option, but won't be much cheaper if the both battery & logic board need replacing.
    You can "try" placing the phone in a ziploc bag filled with dry rice...leave for 4 ~ 5 days. Odds are, this won't work though.
