HT1349 Intermittently when I connect my iPhone to my ihome I get "this device not supported by iPhone". Why does this happen and what is the fix?

Intermittently my iPhone doesn't recognize my ihome and it says"this device isn't supported by iPhone". This is so annoying, any suggestions?

Might be a dirty dock connector on your phone. Try gently brushing it with a clean, dry toothbrush and/or blowing on it with a can of compressed air.

If it is clean connect a 2nd accessory of the same kind to see if you need to replace the accessory or continue troubleshooting the phone.

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.

i noticed this as a bug in iTunes. make sure the correct file is selected in the preferences menus. It does not have to be the default location directiory as Vazandrew stated. your iTunes music library can be anywhere you want it. i have mine on an external cuz i'm a dj and have over 80,000 songs.
once you select/verify the location of your music library, simply drag the folder into the left panel in iTunes from a finder window. iTunes does not automatically add the items like it use to for some reason.

Hi, I take it its not just a bit warm?

I have an ipod classic 160 GB, and itunes 11.0.1. Itunes won't sync when I try to sync several cds I've downloaded into itunes. If I try to sync the same cds one at a time, it works. What's happening? What's the fix?

I have a sync problem when trying to sync multiple cd's I've downloaded into itunes, at the same time. I have an ipod classic 160 GB, and use itunes 11.0.1. If I delete the songs from itunes, reload the same discs one at a time, and sync after each individual cd, all goes well. What's going on and what's the fix?

Thanks for your help Jim
I found some info in other threads and read that some people had re-downloaded, re-installed and were now working OK. Unfortunately some others went through that pain and still had the issue.
I found a reference to deleting the file 'iTunes Library.itl' and copying back the previous version of that file.
I tried this and when I fired up iTunes I noticed there was a window pop up saying iTunes was updating the database to version 11. I then re-imported the CD and now the songs are there in iTunes, the artwork is there and song titles etc. The songs play and everything appears normal again.
It would appear that my issue was the database was not correctly upgraded correctly durting the original upgrade, this theory is to some extent supported by the fact some people have had success re-installing version 11. This also suggests the upgrade process may be a little flaky.
Anyway thank you to the person suggesting downgrading the 'iTunes Library.itl' file, sorry I did not take a note of your name.

"This device not supported" msg when connecting camera

I just tried plugging in my (four year old) Canon Digital Elph via the USB connector (30 pin male to USB female) and got the "device not supported" msg on my iPad2
Are only recent cameras supported?

The camera connector I'm using is one I bought some years back to connect a camera to an iPod Photo. It looks to be the same as the current one, however.
Could this be a connector issue rather than a camera issue?
Yes, it's a connector issue. The connector you have doesn't work with the iPad, as you've discovered. It doesn't work with any iOS device. You need the iPad Camera Connector Kit. It has two different dongles, one to connect a USB cable, the other, an SD card.

It worked! Thanks so much. Now my next question is how in the world is anyone supposed to figure this out on one's own?

HT204368 I have a Tango TRX bluetooth speaker that is suddenly not able to connect to my New iPad. It worked fine for a few eeks and now I get the previously unseen "This device not supported by iPad" message. It was supported for three weeks. Thanks

Most of the question is in the discussion header. I have a Tango TRX bluetooth speaker that worked fine for three weeks with my third generation iPad. I started having trouble connecting and recieved the "not supported by iPad" message. It connects just fine until I open any app that requires sound and at thet point I recieve the message and the device disconnects. The Tango still pairs flawlessly with my laptop which is not an Apple product. How could a product suddenly become unsupported?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. This should not affect any content on the iPad, it is similar to rebooting your computer.

If you have a data only plan for the iPad with your carrier, if no change after powering your iPad off and on you will need to contact your carrier.

Repeated intermittent screen blackout. Why does it happen? How can one fix it?

Three or four times a day, the screen flickers and then blacks out. It returns by itself after 1-10 minutes usually. Sometimes it only comes on again after turning the computer off and restarting. Any suggestions what the problem is and how to fix it

Hello Jennifer, probably your Internet security software (including firewalls, antivirus programs, anti-spyware programs, and more) is likely preventing Firefox from connecting to the Internet after update firefox, see : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-problems-connecting-websites-after-updating#os=win7&browser=fx21 Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox].
thank you

This issue can be caused by an extension or plugin that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
