Device not supported by this Iphone
Before IOS 8 update I could plug a VGA adapter in my iphone and it would connect to a projector to view during meetings. Now my phone tells me the adapter is not supported. Am I missing something on my end?

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 only could imagine that:
Your radio isn't licensed
Your radio doesn't supports your iOS -

I assume you are running ios 8.x. It's a bug.
Wait for a fix from apple. ... OR ... You could buy a new Apple brand connector. The latest connectors will work, even the older apple brand connectors do not work. OR try re-booting your ipad. OR wait until the video starts then attach the connector.

How do I get my Ipod to play music videos through my theatre system? I keep getting the message "This device not supported". My theatre system WILL recognise my Iphone however. The theatre system, Ipod, and Iphone are all less than 4 months old. Any suggestions welcome!
Check with the theater system vendor and see if their system is compatible with the Nano. The resolution on the Nano may be too low for the system.

My iPhone 4s was playing music now won't on my sony dream machine how do I fix. "This device is not supported by this I-phone". I have turned off phone unplugged sony and did the pin reset on bottom. Help please I need my tunes
Try plugging it up to your computer and launching iTunes and either resetting it to factory settings or resetting to last sync. Hopefully it just noticing it's plugged up to iTunes will fix it. This happened to my friend once and all she had to do was plug it into her computer and that fixed it.

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.

i want to know how to get my bluetooth working with other phones please help as when i go to connect it says device not supported!!
The iPhone cannot connect to any other phone over Bluetooth.
The exception is other iOS devices in games and apps that have 'peer-to-peer' Bluetooth connectivity. -
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. -
HELP!!! "Charging is not supported with this accessory" suddenly happening CONSTANTLY with iphone 4
Suddenly without warning my IPhone 4 has been giving me a "charging is not supported with this accessory error" every time I plug it into ANY charging device. That means my car charger, USB to the PC... USB to a macbook pro... Directly to the wall with the included charger, etc. It doesn't matter. I guess I'm past the 1 year warranty so Apple is not any help. Essentially I'm supposed to accept that my $200 (with a contract) phone has a 1 year life span and that I should be completely fine with it becoming useless out of nowhere. Here's some facts.
#1 - It has nothing to do with 3rd party accessories. One day it was working... one day it wasn't.
#2 - I cleaned lint out of the charging port on the phone. That was the first thing I tried. I used compressed air to blow it out, I used a soft bristle tooth brush... It's lint free. It has nothing to do with lint. I understand this is the most likely cause of the problem.
#3 - When I plug it into a PC or macbook via USB, I'm able to access the IPhone 4 like I ALWAYS have. In other words, I can see pictures, I can back up the phone, I can restore the phone, I can transfer music, sync, etc. So this would presumably rule out the idea that it's the dock connector, right? Why would USB work, but the charging function will NOT work?
#4 - On that note, I was able to update the software to the latest version 5.1.1. That was one of the first things I tried. No dice. I still get the "charging not supported with this accessory" error literally every time I plug it in with a yellow triangle icon... Seen here for example: http://tapatalk.com/mu/4c5f44af-af20-d86c.jpg .
#5 - So since it's not charging, the phone inevitably dies. Here's the weird part... if I leave it plugged into the wall/pc/mac/car when it's dead... eventually it will charge enough to turn back on. But once it's back on... that **** error will pop back up, it will stop charging... and inevitably die again. So then... that would suggest that it actually IS capable of taking a charge... it's just that something in the software is preventing it from charging when the software is active, no? Am I off base here?
#6 - So I decided I'd take it to the genius bar to have them look at it. Right before I did that, I got the brilliant idea to try using an alcohol swab on the dock connector just to make sure it was super duper extra clean. Oddly enough, it suddenly started working without the error. It was working on every charger I tried. Wow. I thought I had fixed it. A day later it started happening again, though. Bizarre. I've tried the alcohol swab thing again and it didn't make a difference... maybe it was just a fluke.... the one day I take it to the Apple genius bar and it works. Go figure, right?
#7 - The only helpful thing the tech at the Apple Genius Bar was able to tell me was that the phone did NOT have any kind of water damage. That rules that out. No water damage in the charging dock OR the headphone jack. So there's that.
#8 - Since it's no longer under warranty... I took it upon myself to buy a replacement battery via Amazon.com and installed it myself. Didn't make a difference... still the same error.
What, if anything, can I try? Could it really be the dock connector? Should I try replacing the dock connector? Is there any software-related thing I can try? Has this happened to anyone else? Apple has essentially told me it's my problem. From my perspective... any product that randomly stops working a little over a year is a faulty product. I'm not pleased at all.Tried at least 6 different cables. It isn't the cable. All of them worked one day... then stopped working the next day. My girlfriend has an identical Iphone 4 and all of the cables still work for her.
Interesting point on the data and power using different pins. So your suggestion would be to replace the dock connector? Found this on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Apple-iPhone-dock-connector-cable/dp/B003UGVOO2/ref=sr_1_1 ?ie=UTF8&qid=1338277549&sr=8-1 ... and found a tutorial online: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing-iPhone-4-Dock-Connector/3147/1#.T8SG_sXWu -o ... Sounds like that might be my best bet here.
It's just odd to me that the phone gives me that error and refuses to charge... then inevitably dies. But once the phone is dead, it starts charging enough to actually turn back on. Isn't that slightly odd? -
When I connect my iPad to my iMac I get a repetitive flashing error message "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected." iPhoto eventually launches but iTunes will not launch iTunes. iPad will not charge. Restarted iMac and rebooted iPad and no difference.

I updated my ipad 2 and my iphones to ios7...now when I plug the adapted in to download my images from the iphone to the ipad..I get a message saying that the connected device is not supported...It worked before ios 7 what do I do?
Same problem here. I am trying to load photos from my iPhone 5 to my iPad 3. The iPad asks me to trust the iPhone, and the iPhone says "iPad: device not supported". I am using the camera connection kit w/ USB connector and my iPhone lightning adaptor. This worked before iOS 7.

"Pay Pal is not supported on this device"
I have updated my iTunes account and my Pay Pal account information but am still getting "Pay Pal is not supported on this device" message on my iPhone. Anyone else? How do I fix this?
I had this same problem also. The problem has to do with your credit card number associated with you iCloud account. To solve this problem, you need to update your credit card/payment information by doing the following on your iPad / iPhone / iTouch:
Settings > iCloud > click on your account > Payment Information
Update this section with your correct credit card information and Save. -
The error says, "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. Could not connect to the device." But it is connected and shows up in iTunes but won't sync or show apps. Never happened before.
