Connecting my iPhone 4S with 3rd party composite cable; error "accessory not supported by iphone". Sound comes through and it charges but NO Video??? I have verified the cable, I can play video with sound from iPod Nano 4th gen.

composite don't support mirror so it will only display on the tv when the app being used support tvout option
the build in video app does so it should display on the tv at least my composite cable does with my iphone4
the audio always works it's pretty much works like a headset

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 updates

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.

Accessory not supported by iphone just appeared. HUH?!?

I have an iphone 4 and for several accessories i get "this accessory not supported by iphone" I cleaned the contacts and still get it - any ideas? It never happened until recently and it happens in teh car adapter and other adapters.

Clean the dock connector with a soft dry brush.
In the future, try a search before posting... this issue is discussed regularly.

Hello AliHoward,
You may need to completely remove iTunes, QuickTime, and other Apple software from your system prior to reinstalling. The following articles (one for Windows XP, the other for Windows Vista/7) detail the removal process. I'll also link you to the latest version of iTunes for Windows (64bit specific installer).

When i plug my supra ekey adapter into my iphone, I get the message "accessory not supported by iphone". I know the adapter works because I took it back to my realtor association and they checked it.

Try cleaning out the phone's dock connector. A soft dry toothbrush or similar.

Wahoo ANT - Accessory Not Supported by iPhone

I try to connect a Wahoo ANT+ Fitness device, model AP201, to my iPhone 4 with IOS 5.1. I get the error message "This Accessory is Not Supported by iPhone". My wife has the same iPhone and the same IOS version and the accessory is working 100 % correctly with her iPhone. I have tried the following: Reset device in iTunes, Restored backup from iTunes, Reset all setting; however, the same message appears on my device. I have also tried to remove lint etc. from the connector contacts. Any ideas what to do next?
Message was edited by: toreboes

This does not help you, but i would like to mention that I have the exact same problem with my AP201 model (iOS5.1.1).
- Connector is clean (very clean).
- IPHONE 3GS en IPAD2 are working correctly, and 4 different iphone4 models do not work....
I hope Wahoo or Apple has a solution to this problem.

Iphone 4 keeps saying "accessory not supported by iphone"

I have an iphone 4, and have updated it. I can't get to work with any fm transmitters. I have tried the itrip and the belkin tunebase FM live. Each time the acessory will charge me phone, but will not play music. As soon as you plug it in a window shows up that says "This Acessory is Not Supported by Iphone" even though the product is made for the iphone. I have made multiple trips to best buy and no one can help me. How do I get past this error message and get the phone to play music through the fm transmitter?

I would try cleaning your dock connector.
There are many threads about this subject and it is possible there is no support for your iPhone in iOS 5 for your particular accessories, especially if they are older versions of an accessory.

Accessory not supported by iphone message keeps appearing . . . .

This morning, my iPhone began to randomly display a "accessory not supported by this iPhone" message and keeps asking if I want to go into Airplane mode. On more than one occasion, the phone was not plugged into ANY accessory and was simply sitting on the table.
On another, it was playing music via the headphone jack into my car stereo.
I'm running V. 3.1.3, upgraded when it came out and have had no incident until today.
Any ideas? Not a big problem, just more of an annoyance.

Check your phone's dock connector and make sure it is free of lint and other pocket debris.

Sound not working after i connected wrong cable. "Accessory not supported"

I connected a Creative Zen cable by mistake (looks just like the iphone cable, and for some strange reason fitted also). Obviously i got an message on the phone telling me that this accessory was not made for iphone.
I disconnected the cable, but the phone keeps giving me this message! Even if i turn the phone on/off it keeps telling me that the accessory (which is not connected) is not made for iPhone. And there's no sound in the speaker other than when i receive calls/alarm.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
I've already tried connecting headphones (works), and then disconnecting them again, but sound is not coming through speaker after i disconnect them.

Check for debris in the dock connector port; it's also possible that you physically damaged the docking connector on the iPhone.
Have you tried resetting or restoring your iPhone? Reset first -tto reset the iPhone, press and hold the home and sleep/wake buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the slide to power off prompt).

IPhone 4 with iOS5; Changes in iTunes to music not reflected on iPhone.

It's really odd. I plug in my iPhone, open iTunes, make changes to playlists (add or delete, etc.) and add or delete actual songs to my iPhone (via iTunes), etc., but none of this gets reflected on my iPhone when I unplug from computer and open the Music app. When I open the Music app, all the old playlists and songs are still there. But when I plug the iPhone back into my computer and open iTunes and click on my device, all the changes are reflected (on iTunes after clicking on my device). I push Sync and let the phone Sync but it still does not reflect any of the changes when I unplug. What is even crazier is I go back to the iPhone and I can still click on songs to play them, even after I have deleted them through iTunes on my iPhone, and they no longer show up on my device through iTunes. Anyone have any suggestions?
This never happened prior to upgrade to iOS5 or backing up to iCloud.

I am just updating as I was finally able to get this to work. I went back and synced two more times with iTunes. The first time still did not make any changes to my iPhone. The second time, the sync hung (at least an hour later it was still syncing on step 5 of 5), but I "ejected" anyway. And this time the changes were reflected in my iPhone. I don't know why the first two Syncs did not make the changes, even though they Synced without issue.

3rd party USB cable

Just a note to be careful with 3rd party USB cables and the iPad. I have one that works fine with an older iPod, but causes serious issues when used with my iPad. It causes disconnects during syncing and even causes several restarts of my iPad.
Definitely stick with the original cable.

Not surprising as the dock connector changed after the early iPods. Your iPod could easily be one from the older dock pinout. If it isn't then something strange is going on.
Definitely stick with the original cable.
While it is always good to be careful it is likely not really necessary if your cable is relatively new. I have a mix of cables from by 3G, 3GS, iP4, iPad, and various 3rd party cables. All work interchangeably.

IHome iA92 not supported by iPhone 4?

I just got an iHome iA92 speaker system. When I dock my iPhone 4, it recognizes the iHome as a power source and begins charging. However, the error message "This accessory not supported by iPhone." soon comes up, and music will not play through the iHome speakers. My iPhone's software is up to date and I tried restarting it, but the problem continues. The iHome box and manual both clearly state that it should work with an iPhone 4 and even has a special docking mold for the iPhone 4, but the error message comes up every single time I dock it, without fail. Any ideas?

I have this same issue... Any help would be appreciated

HT204368 Can you (Handoff) control your iphone with 3rd party devices ? (Like making calls, sending message, etc...)

I am wondering if you can control your iphone or other iOS devices with 3rd party devices? I have in mind like making calls, sending sms, etc....
Thank you!

No,

Airplay no longer working with 3rd party after upgrading to Maverick.

I updated my MacBook Pro this week and I have noticed that the airplay icon is no longer showing up in iTunes to connect to my Denon Amplifier. The interesting thing is that my old iPad 1 that I have that is still running 5.1.1 can connect and play to the receiver just fine.
Was there an update to the airplay software that would affect 3rd party devices? I was not able to find any new updates for my receiver.

I woke up this morning with the same problem (all was fine last night). Only way to get all my mailbox folders back was to use Time Machine while in Mail, choosing the backup file from previous night and selecting EACH MAILBOX to restore (23 for me). All appears okay so far today (except some of my accessories in the menu bar are gone).
I sure hope an update comes SOON. In anticipation of Mavericks and the new MAIL I switched from Outlook 2011 3 weeks ago transfering 17,000+ files and would hate to back
