IPhone 4 continues to display "this accessory is not compatible with this device" I only got my phone a week ago and I have only plugged a charger into it... Any ideas on how to fix? Ask your question.

Phone is and has continued to display "this accessory is not optimized on this I phone... It flashes on the screen continuously even when phone is locked, wasting battery life in the process. I could understand if I had used a dodgy charger but I have only used the charger I got with my iPhone. And it has been happening since the first time I charged it. Also the keyboard sounds go on and off when I'm typing, any ideas. Cheers.

Hi,
Not that's not normal and is one of the Problems I was having before Restoring as New...
Just make sure you Sync ALL your important Info... Contacts... Music... Etc... to your Computer...
and then do a Restore as New...
i was a bit reluctant at First, because I hadn't done it before... But it was So Easy and am Really Glad I did...
Cheers,

  • When i try and load this brush pack i bought it says "Because this file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop"

    Ive Restarted photoshop Multiple times and it still Doesnt work im on photoshop cs5 and i havent had this problem in a while but again this is a abr file.

    If this problem still persists please verify that this brush pack is compatible with photoshop cs5-also it would help alot to know these things: if your photoshop is running on a apple operating system or windows  operating system  moreover what version of  operating system. Some other things that could hinder this brush pack from working are its installed incorrectly or in the wrong place also resetting cs5 preferences can help. Last if what you posted originally is true and or accurate-"-when i try and load this brush pack i bought" it says "Because this file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop" Then it is exactly as it states a Brush Pack that will not WORK with CS5.

  • This AE is not compatible with this version of Itunes????

    Hello forum! i just setup a TC with two AE with air iTunes. They both work excellent with the sort pauses. Today i decide to run the Ethernet cable to each AE. Did the setup as commanded, i just tested it with a Macbook and MacbookPro and both work fine no more lack(yey). Everything is up to date TC 7.5.1 and AE 7.4.2.
    My problem is that when trying to connect from a Windows 7 pc just one AE is connected, the other gives me this message ""The Remote speaker is not compatible with this version of iTunes"" i did every i could, hard reset on both, new setup same OS on both... so i really do not understand what the problem.
    i have the lasted iTunes on the pc( re-downloaded twice today)
    or

    please help.......

    Hello qqnicol,
    What program do you run?
    Please contact the software provider to confirm if this 32-bit program can run in 64-bit Windows.
    As some programs can only run in specific version of Windows, please download the right version of software.
    Most programs designed for the 32-bit version of Windows will work on the 64-bit version of Windows. Notable exceptions are many antivirus programs.
    Device drivers designed for the 32-bit version of Windows don't work on computers running a 64-bit version of Windows too.

  • Message "this app is not compatible with this iPad" What am I doing wrong?

    I am trying to update my apps and when I touch update all I get the message 'this app is ot compatible with this I-pad.  this has never happened before, what am I doing wrong?

    One or more of the apps you are updating is seeing that you have not yet gone to ios5.  All the iwork app changes, for example, will not upgrade until you do.   What you can do is tick them individually.  If that particular app will update, then it will.  If it won't it will tell you, and you can go back and get them later after you do the ious 5 update.  Last night i decided to update before i started the ios 5 upgrade, and there were 16 apps waiting for up date.  All but 5 did update, but not the i works, and 2 others.
    It takes a little longer to do them 1 at a time, but it is better than staring at the stupid 'not eligable' notice.

  • This accessory is not optimizied with this i phone

    hi there
    can any one tell me why im getting the above message in iphone 3gs
    and now i spoke to apple customer service agent he said to restore it on other windows
    when i did that i lost it
    and it is saying error 1611
    and i cannot start my i phone

    I'd be interested in an answer to this one too... I'd been seeing it on a car adapter I have for a while but expected that as it was actually an iPod accessory but since the 4.2.1 update I've also seen it on a few odd occasions when using an Apple universal dock. on at least 2 occasions it just popped up on the screen for no apparent reason when I unlocked it - nothing was connected at the time!
    I know it's not a faulty phone... because this has been happening since the 4.2.1 update and Apple replaced the phone since then due to a faulty mute switch, it happened both before and after the replacement!

  • My secondary monitor flashes and blacks out after the 10.7 install.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I have installed 10.7 and the secondary monitor flashes and blacks out.  I downgraded back to 10.6 and the problem went away.  I reinstalled 10.7 and the same problem happened again.  The monitor blacks in and out especially when the pointer is placed in the dock area, but it still happens all the time.  My secondary monitor is a ViewSonic 22 inch that is connected to a DVI to display adapter.  Any solutions??
    Thanks

    Talked to AppleCare and it's most likely the fact that my MacBook has 3.0 USB ports and my non official charging cable can't support that. So yeah, I'll try a new cable, hopefully that's the fix.

  • I keep getting a display message saying this cable or accessory is not capitiable with this apple product may not be reliable with this iphone even when i have no cable or accessory in use

    My iphone 5 has been saying this for days now. Yes I have recently purchased a motorola ear piece for easy talking while walking, but i have also used a 10ft cord purchased at walmart for months now and no display before the motorola. now even without anything plugged in ,I still get the display message on my phone saying" the cord or accessory is not capitable with this iphone and may not be reliable with this iphone.
    what DO I do ?! is there something I can do without going to either Sprint or Apple for help.... will this be damaging to my iphone ?! HELP before its too late.
    sincerely,
    Apple lover JAJA

    Try resetting your iPhone.  Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
    CAUTION - This may get rid of the warning for now, but the issue the warning points out still remains.  One or both of your cables is certainly suspect.

    How To Fix "This accessory is not optimized for this iPhone” Error?

    Clean the iPhone dock port with a clean dry tooth brush. If the warning occurs again, clean the dock port very carefully and thoroughly with isopropyll alcohol, especially the pins which are on top of the dock mid rib. If still warning, then take iPhone to Apple for Warranty service.

    Hello abyjohn,
    I would be concerned too if the speaker on my iPhone was not working, and if I was getting a message about the accessory not being optimized.  I found an article with some steps to take when you are experiencing issues like this.
