Error Msg - Device Not Compatible with IPhone - Want to switch to airplan?

I keep getting this error as if I have a device hooked to my phone. I have nothing attached. Statred getting it a couple of days ago and it pops up every 5 minutes or so. Have done a complete RESET/RESTORE and I still get it.
Recently added a few new apps - Weather Channel, USA Today, and Ocarina.
Any suggestions out there?

Hi OneColo,
Try using a small brush, like a tooth brush, to remove any debris from the dock adapter port on the iPhone as suggested here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1505
You can also try restoring the iPhone to rule out software issues. This article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305744 will walk you through restoring the iPhone.
If the issue is not caused by debris or the iPhone software, the iPhone may need hardware repair. Make a reservation to have a Genius at a local Apple retail store take a look at it or call AppleCare.

  • Device not compatible with iPhone

    My new car (2010 Nissan Versa) has an auxilliary input port that allows me to play mp3 music through the radio. It worked great with my old iPod, but when I try to connect my brand new iPhone 3gs, I get an error message stating that the device (the car radio) is not compatible with the iPhone.
    I like the iPhone, but really want to listen to my mp3 music and podcasts through the car radio. Is there some way to resolve this issue?

    I have 08 altima with 3gs and updated OS4.0. emailed Nissan and told me my phone was not compatible. I cannot use the factory oem bluetooth since the update. Funny thing is it was compatible with the 3.1 OS and says so in writing in Nissan book. Apple told me it was a Bose firmware issue. I want to revert back to old OS.

  • I have installed 0S5 but restoring the backup doesn't work. the following messages appear: An error accurred while restoring this iphone (-20)  because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with iphone being restored (my iphone 3GS)

    Hi Ckuan,
    Thanks a lot for your advice.    
    Deleting the correupted back up means to delete the information of one month since the last back up I made is one month ago.....right? 
    This back up I made right before I restored my iphone.  During the restore however my OS was upgraded to 5.1.1. and reading the comments on the internet it seems I am not the only one whom experience this problem. 
    Can it be that if I downgrade my OS back to 5.1. the back up will not be considered as corrupted?  If so, how do I downgrade the iphone?
    Thanks in advance.

    From the article that the question was posted from:
    Error 1611
    This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, this error may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

    Hi...
    I'm trying to erase the restored backup on my MacBook Pro that was meant for my iPhone 5... I found out the software is corrupted and continued to affect my phone. Where do I find it And how do I erase it to start all over?
    On a Mac your backups are in /Users/<your username>/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
    (Open Finder, hold the Option key, and select "Library" from the Go menu to get to your user's Library folder.)
    In Windows, the fastest way to get to your backup folders is:
    - (Windows 7 and below) Start -> Run -> type %appdata% (with the percents) and press return.
    - (Windows 8) Search -> type %appdata% (with the percents) and press return.
    From Application Data, navigate to Apple Computer, Inc. -> MobileSync -> Backup.
    You can match your device identifier with the backup folder name by clicking on the Serial Number field in iTunes (which will switch it to your device identifier.) Delete (or rename, if you're worried about making a mistake) the folder with the matching identifier.
    I know this thread is about a corrupt backup blocking updating the backup process, but in case anyone is having a corrupt backup blocking a restore (a much scarier problem,) and you don't have the original device/data to make a new backup, I hope you'll take a look at the information I've been writing about fixing backups on my company's blog:
    http://deciphertools.com/blog/2014_07_11_itunes_could_not_restore_backup_corrupt /
    We have been looking at fixing the corrupted backups, which may be helpful for you!

  • IPhone 3G Dock not compatible with iPhone 3G (or 3G s)

    I bought an iPhone 3G dock a few months ago and I'm having problems with it. I had an iPhone 3G and recently upgraded to the 3Gs. This problem is on both phones, but more often seen with the 3Gs. When I plug it in, I get the message telling me "this accessory is not compatible with the iPhone and asks me to turn on airplane mode. When I say no, the message haunts me multiple times. It's really annoying when I charge the phone at night since the screen turns on multiple times, waking me up; or when I have it charging on the dock and an audio out cable plugged into external speakers. (When the message comes up, the audio stops). I've heard a few people talking about this but haven't found a solution. Is this just "the way" it is with 3G docks, or is mine faulty? If so, has Apple recognized it and honors a warranty? It's pretty annoying IMHO and seems pretty out of character for Apple Quality Control...

    I occasionally get that message with a standard iPhone usb cable -- the once that came with my 3GS. This could be due to debris in the connectors: It would not take much to make for a bad connection.
    You might want to try cleaning them by using a clean dry toothbrush.

  • Moved Premiere Elements 10 project Error: "Project is not compatible with current version of Premiere Elements"

    After moving an entire client folder from an external hard drive to an internal one, the client's video, created in adobe premiere elements 10, will no longer open in adobe premiere elements 10. It appears to be loading the project, and instead of completing, the following error message is displayed: "The project is not compatible with current version of Premiere Elements."
    The same thing occurs when attempting to open the archive files.
    New projects, and unmoved projects behave properly.
    Moved projects receive this error.
    I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 on a solid state drive (SSD) (c:/), where premiere elements is installed
    My documents, including the project I need to work with are on my "storage" drive (HDD). it is (f:/)

    Archiving Aspects of this.....
    First let clear the matter of the "archiving" as a life saver.... We do not appear to be on the same wave length.
    a. I am talking about File Menu/Project Archiver with its Archive project and Copy project options. This feature is a safety net to save you when you
    inadvertently disconnect source media from the project file. With the Archive option (Trimmed Folder result), you get saved to the computer hard drive (safe keeping) a copy of the project file plus copies of the media that were taken to the Timeline. With the Copy option (Copied Folder result), you get copy of the project files plus copies of much more.
    b. Instead, you appear to be talking about "archiving" in the context of AutoSaves. AutoSaves are saved snapshots of the project at various phases of the edit. They suffer from the same shortcomings of the original project that has been disconnected from its source media.
    When you import media into a project, all you get are copies of the originals in the project. But, those copies need to trace back to originals at the locations where they were when first imported into the project. Moving, renaming, deleting files/folders that went into the project after the project save close leads to some very time consuming messy situations.
    What to do....
    If you can, put everything back the way it was. If not.....
    Let me emphasis some factors..
    You wrote

It appears to be loading the project, and instead of completing, the following error message is displayed: "The project is not compatible with current version of Premiere Elements."
    Here you mention specifically "client's video". Later you detail with .mod files converted to .avi. What kind of .avi? If you have converted to AVCHD.avi or H.264.avi, they have been found not to be compatible with Premiere Elements. You should not be able to import them into any new or old project.
    From what you described, I am envisioning
    "Video" Folder
    which contains 2 folders named
    "Timestamped Folder" with .avi files
    and
    "DVD" Folder with the project file (project.prel)
    The project file has many files generated automatically in the course of it workflow. Where do you have them going?
    (See Premiere Elements  10 Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Discs). If you have the Scratch Discs directed
    "Same As Project", then we would expect all those files to be going to the DVD Folder in the above scenario.
    If we could open the project and get greeted with some "Where is the file.....?" messages, that might give us some hope.
    But that is not the case.
    Consequently from what you have said, I am suggesting that the path of least resistance is try to recreate the "before".
    Please review and consider.

  • Bose Noise Cancelling Not Compatible with Iphone

    This really disappointed me as I am always use to connect my Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones with Ipod , but not able to connect to iphone. I thought the iphone has standard headphone output. I like my Bose headphones when I am traveling in airplane or subways as it really cancels most of the noise.
    Please let me know if anyone has any solution.
    Thanks

    Here is the text of the email I just received from Bose:
    Thank you for your message.
    iPhone incorporates a deeply recessed headphone jack that makes it incompatible with most headphones on the market, including Bose. We will soon introduce an adapter that will allow our headphones to be compatible with iPhone. (Belkin, Monster and other accessory companies will also offer generic adapters)
    Thank you for contacting Bose Corporation.

  • Error - Remote speaker not compatible with this version of itunes

    Alright - I give..itunes (v7.2) with airport express for airtunes
    I have a toshiba laptop (Win XP) that streams itunes to remote speakers just fine..but my desktop (Win XP - Dell Dim E510 with wireless) when I switch speaker to remote speakers, comes back with message - "the remote speaker xxx is not compatible with this version of itunes"...both computers have the same version of itunes..both computers can access airport express for adminstrative actions - Airport Express is connected to a stereo..any idea what is the problem?

    Ditto here.
    Mac OS 10.4.9. iTunes 7.1.1 (5)
    Airport Extreme Base Station "chained" to 2 Aiport Express Remotes. All connections are fine. Have internet on remote Macs. Airport Admin utility displays all three airport units, but I'm now unable to broadcast to the remote Express hooked up to my stereo in adjacent room. Have done this many times in the past without problem, but not in past couple months, so can't say if it broke with 7.1 or 7.1.1, but I get this message from iTunes:
    The remote speaker "Living Room Speakers" is not compatible with this version of iTunes.
    Prior to restarting iTunes (and being sure all Aiport station firmware was up-to-date, I was getting the message that no speakers were connected (double-checked all speaker and stereo connections), but now just the "not compatible" message.

  • Flex 4.5 iOS app generated but error in itunes: "not compatible" - with 3g?

    Are Flex 4.5 mobile compiled ipa's only compatible with iPhone 3gs and above? is there a way to get them working on a 3g phone?

    Flex 4.5 doesn't officially support iOS.  Make sure you are using Flex 4.5.1 which adds support for iOS and BlackBerry Tablet OS platforms.
    Yes iPhone 3GS is the minimum requirement.

  • IPhone not compatible with iPhone dock

    Hi,
    I've been using my iPhone with both the original iPhone dock and the universal dock for a loooong time, but the past few months there has been a problem.
    When the iPhone is connected to the iPhone dock/universal dock it says (rough translation): "This equipment is not designed to work with iPhone, do you want to activate plane mode [...]"
    But all is original apple equipment and all should be compatible - what can I do ?
    Thanks
    Jens, Denmark

    Mine is currently doing this, it is also not shutting off, it reboots right after I try and turn it off, and it is not charging through my Macbook either. It won't even show up in ITunes. When I connect it it says that a USB device is draining too much power and has been disconnected. Terrific. Can't charge and won't shut off.

  • Car stereo not compatible with iPhone since iOS 7

    Since installing iOS 7, my iPhone 4S is no longer compatible with my Pioneer car stereo to use video. I can still access my music and contact for bluetooth, but when I try to use Netflix for example, it gives an error message on my phone. This was working normally when I was using iOS 6, so there is a glitch with iOS 7. I can't seem to get any help from Pioneer or Apple support...so I'm asking you folks to help me please! Is there a way to get this working again or do I have to wait for the next software update?

    In another thread on this issue, Brendan writes:
    Turns out restarting my car and/or rebooting my iphone "fixed" the issue. Apparently this was unrelated to the iOS 7.2 upgrade. Honda + iPhone has been rock solid (even if the Honda Fit UI is terrible), so I'm not sure what to make of this problem. Maybe a glitch? Who knows.
    Here is the URL for that thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/25211736?ac_cid=tw123456#25211736
    His suggestion worked for me: turn off your car, completely shut-off your phone and let it sit a few minutes. Then reboot phone and start car and try again.
    Good luck!
