HT201412 my phone will no longer charge, when i plug in the charger the phone says - charging is not supported by this accessory.
My i phone3GS will no longer charge - when i plug in the charger the phone says "charging is not supprted with this accessory"
do you have any other chargers? is it the charger that came with the phone? is it giving the same issue when plugged into the computer and into the wall? do you have an apple store near you to try the chargers there? can you buy a new charger at target or something? have you rebooted the phone?

Take it into an Apple store and have it checked out.

You shouldn't have bought any.
They are part of the 1 year standard warranty.
Take it into an Apple store for free replacement (if not user damaged). -
Same error occurs in any device I use: iPhone (4) or iPad (2).
Any idea how to reset something, or otherwise let me make a purchase?And I just say for the record how much it ***** when you have to deal with a company who thinks so little of customer support, that you can't talk to anyone in person? Sheesh, the recording I got when I called hung up on me!

External hard drive connected to my airport extreme will no longer open, when navigating to it in Finder, the Finder window quits and reopens, cannot access hard drive, it is visible in airport utility, since the problem began I have updated firmware on Extreme as well as both of my Airport Expresses. Hard drive is USB connected to Extreme.
Reboot the USB drive.. assuming it is powered.. or unplug and replug a self-powered drive.. (you should not use self-powered drives on AE before the latest model.. always use a powered hub).
Does the drive now appear in finder..
If not reboot both drive and the AE.. it should now appear.
If it doesn't work with direct connection try a powered hub.. that can help. -

Why every time I plug my phone in using a USB cord or charger does it say "charging not supported with this accessory"? The phone will charge if I leave it plugged in long enough, but I noticed that it doesn't hold the charge like it used to. Is this the battery, or something else?
Hi CJ-
There are some chargers designed for thr original iPhone that are not compatible with the 3G and later models. Are you using the USB cable that came with the 3G? That cable, when plugged into a computer USB port, or, when plugged into the power cube / wall outlet, should charge the 3G just fine.
Due to the nature of Lithium Ion batteries, there are safeguards in place to prevent the wrong type of charger from supllying charge voltage to the batteries, and if the proper pins and resistance is not detected by the phone, the circuitry will block charging and give that message.
Therefore: If you are using a 3G compatible (oem, or otherwise valid charger), and you're seeing that "not supported" message, it could be the cable you're using, or it's the phone/circuitry detection in the phone that detects the cable / charger type.
And, if you are getting some charge, but it's not holding very long, it could be that it's a 3G, and the lifespan of the battery is near end of life. The fact that you're getting a charging not supported message is probably of more importance as to why the battery is not fully being charged. -
Trying to charge the iphone 3. When connecting charger, receive message " charging is not supported by this accessory". Three chargers tried and do not work. Blew all connectors clean with compressed air. Battery charging icon does not show when plugged in and phone slowly losing power.
Clean iPhone charging port with clean toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyll Alcohol. Clean very well especially on top of the midrib which is where the pins are.

'Charging is not supported with this accessory' But phone isn't plugged in!
Hi, I spilled a small bit of water on my iPhone about 2 weeks ago.I put it in rice for 2 days and left it to itself for a while and its working again ( except the home button is broken).But the ' Charging is not supported with this accessory message' stays on my screen while the phone is locked when it ISN'T plugged in.It still charges,but this message appears when the phone isn't connected to anything.I cleaned the connector and this actually fixed a problem I had that meant the phone wouldn't play music, but this message is still on the screen.Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks
Try Jailbreaking it, it should do something, and because you have your device on iOS 5.x then i recommend that you use Absynth to Jailbreak your device, that may get rid of the message, you might anlso try restoring your iPhone completely or just from a back-up, or if you do jailbreak your device you could delete the launch daemon that gives you the notification...
Hope this helped a bit -
when i charged my iphone on y pc after some time showing charger not supported with this accessory what have to do to solve it
If you did not do a reset of your iPod please try that (you will not lose any data)
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If this does not work inspect the opening in your iPod where the cable connects. Look for any debris and clean it (a magnifying glass may be required). -
"Charging not supported with this accessory" when it's plugged into my Mac?
I'm starting to get extremely upset with my iPod touch 2nd Generation 64GB. I've had it just over a month now and every time I plug it into my Macbook it will charge for a few minutes, and then if I move the iPod for any reason it says "Charging is not supported with this accessory" and stops charging. My Macbook is always plugged into its charger so there shouldn't be an issue with that. I've tried the charging cord that came with the iPod, and several other charging cords from previous iPods, but still I get the same result. Could it be that the USB ports on my Macbook are going bad? I've had it since 2006 so I don't know what to do.
Checked, nothing there, didn't resolve the issue. Bought a new USB connector and haven't had the problem since. Apparently the ones I had, even the one that came with the iPod all went bad somehow. Thanks though!

Iphone reads Charging is not supported with this accessory?! why has this suddenly appeared when attempting to charge?
Check your dock connector for crud or lint...it doesn't take much to create a short, thus producing that message. Use canned air & a soft toothbrush.

Clean the iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush.

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? -
HT4060 ' charging not supported with this accessory' and Not Charging at all
Help and advice please.
I am having problems getting the new IPad to charge at all and sometime it displays this message.
' charging not supported with this accessory'. This message is appearing occasionally on my 5 week old new iPad (3) within a few minutes of plugging it in. :( It is also not charging after this message appears. I am using the supplied wall socket and cable. I am also having problems getting the iPad to charge at all even if the message does not show. This is frustrating me no end. I expected a reliable device given the amount I paid.
I am so disappointed, frustrated and feeling some what angry.
I rang Apple support today (twice) and it made a liar of me working just fine for few minutes the first time then again failed, then for hour or so after the second call seemed to work just fine. Now it is not charging, and won't charge despite repeatedly unplugging and repluging, Switching off the iPad and turning it back on etc etc.
I am not happy at all!Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.
