Iphone4 ios6.0.1 apple universal dock "This accessory is not supported by iPhone"

Get this error message on phone when I put iPhone4 (iOS 6.0.1) into Apple Universal Dock.  ?

Having "this accessory is Not Supported by iPhone" on many of my non-apple accessories. What's up with that??? Researched on a particular accessory and saw the below. Apple you have some bugs that need fixing. Interoperability and consumer choice is the best platform.
Anyone one else having sudden issues in the last year????

I have been dealing with this for weeks now. Contacted Logitech and they said it is an iOS 6.1 issue! Chatted with Apple iPhone support who recorded my call as a complaint/bug; recommended submitting feedback to Apple engineers; and so I wait for it to appear in iOS 6.1.3 or later. I have iPhone 4S w/iOS 6.1.1 and error message stating accessory is not supported by my device; whereasy wife's iPhone 4 works fine on the s751i

    Have you tried resetting your phone and/or your iPad? Hold down the Home and power keys until the silver apple appears. Might help. Can't hurt.

  • Why does my iphone give me this error "This accessory is not supported by iphone" on my iphone 4?

    Just yesterday went to my local Costco and bought myself a Logitech docking station and it was a great deal. On the side of the box it lists the devices that it will support. The iPhone 4 is listed. When I hooked it up and plugged my iphone 4 into it. This error come up "This accessory is not supported by iPhone". First, I was thinking what a way to get customers to buy and end it will end up not working. Buyer Beware.
    Apple should give us a update that will fix this software error on our iPhone's. There are millions of iPhone's out there and not having any problems using accessories and docking stations. Not fair to the rest of us out there that want the same benefit to the iPhone.

    This has nothing to do with Logitech. I have tried other products in the past year and a half. My iphone has been giving me this error since iOS 5. Something in the software is preventing us to use these aftermarket equipment. My sister in laws iphone 4 has the iOS 6 and she has a JVC stereo in her home and has no problems or errors on her iphone 4.
    My terminals are clean. I have given my iphone a factory reset and a restore. My iphone shouldn't be limited to uses of other products. In the near future I am planning on getting a new cellphone. I don't want to switch from apple.
    Apple's next update for iPhone should fix this for us. So, we can use our docking stations.

  • This Accessory is Not Supported by iPhone

    I have used a bedside iHome docking station for the last year with no problems.  All of a sudden, I get the message "This Accessory is Not Supported by iPhone".  It continues to charge just fine, but it disables the sound.  After charging, I have to shut the phone off, and when I turn it back on, the sound works again.  There has been no water damage on either the docking station or phone.  I have cleaned both the connections with air and with a dry soft bristle toothbrush.  Nothing has worked.  I have iOS 6.0.1.  Any suggestions?

  • "This accessory is not supported with iphone"

    Just got my iphone 4 loving it. Rocking the 1st generation dock, that came with my old iPhone I think, for the iPhone classic. I thought it fit and audio comes through the line out thing, my iTunes stuff plays perfect through my phone, but I keep getting:"This accessory is not supported with iPhone".
    Is this true or is something wrong?

    I would say that this is likely the result of apples preference to manufacture things that are premium in nature.
    Case in point.  My apple g4 laptop is 20 years old, and still works.  My only problem with it is that if you pick it up with one hand it warps the motherboard, and detaches the video chip, crashing the laptop.  But the point of that is that it is a precision device.  IE like a precision piece of NASA equipment, the laptop must live on a flat surface, and not be subjected to warping.
    Now applying this concept to the iPhone 6... its .25" thick.  has a medium to large screen.  And does not heat up when playing YouTube videos for 8 hours wile charging with its native accessory.  But think about that.  to achieve that kind of performance with out heating up, the iPhone must be engineered to such an extent, as to make it sensitive to the power input.
    Incidentally, if I plug my iPhone 6 into a car charger, I bought at a gas station, and run YouTube, it heats up immensely... probably because it has to much current running into it.
    In answer to your original questions, I would say that your accessory is not providing enough power to your iPhone to safely charge it.
    other explanations might include an accessory that has a grounding problem, (the lady who electrocuted herself in china)
    or the accessory is affected by a floating ground ( the negative line is not at zero volts)/ (or the iPhone needs a negative connection that is floating, and your accessory provides a negative connection at zero volts...
    Personally I experienced this message on incompatibility, after my iPhone 6 was plugged into my pc for several house.  Incidentally that was how I learned that my work pc was having power issues... the USB power was dirty, which was causing unusual performance in the pc, and causing incompatibility with the phone.

  • Via adapter - this accessory is not supported by iPhone

    Hi All,
    I've just purchased and apple vga adapter for my iphone 4, when I plug it in I get the message "This Accessory is Not Supported by iPhone" and im unable to transmit to an external display. Does anyone have any ideas? Really frustrated as I thought purchasing an Apple product that says its iPhone compatible would avoid issues like this!
    Cheers,
    Sacha

    Hi, I recently had the same problem with my docking station which has been working fine for 6 months + then suddenly the message and no sound from the speakers.  I cleaned the docking connector on my iphone 4 with a small dry brush (and blew into it several times to dislodge all dust particles).  Did the same to connector on the docking station and it all works fine now.  Seems the iphone docking connector is very sensitive and therefore needs to be kept clean - give it a try.

  • How do I fix "this accessory is not supported by iphone" popup?

    When I connect my iPhone 5 to my sony sound system with the 30 pin to lightning adaptor, my iPhone says "This accessory is not supported by iPhone". Is there any way to fix this issue?

    Hello Jeffery,
    It sounds like you are trying to use the Lightning Digital AV Adapter, but you are getting a message that it is not supported.  I found some troubleshooting steps you can take when you encounter an issue with this type of adapter:
    Troubleshooting
    If you encounter an issue using the Apple Digital AV Adapter or VGA Adapter:
    Disconnect and reconnect the adapter from the iOS device and display.
    Connect directly to the TV, projector, or external display using a known-good VGA or HDMI cable.
    Remove any VGA or HDMI extension cables or converters.
    Note that accessories that convert a VGA or HDMI signal to other video formats (DVI, Composite, Component) are not supported.
    Ensure that you are using the latest version of iOS. Some Apple Digital AV Adapters require iOS 5.1 or later.
    Note: When using an Apple Digital AV Adapter manufactured before early 2012 with iPad (3rd generation), you may see the "This accessory is not supported" alert. Dismissing the alert will allow you to use the adapter.
    For optimal performance, you may need to adjust the video resolution or settings for your display. If your display offers an "auto detect" or "factory default" setting, you may be able to use these options to optimize video resolution and display.
    You can find the full article here:

  • Iphone 4s - This Accessory is not supported by Iphone.

    Hey,
    I have an Iphone 4s. I have had the same ipod dock for about six months and have had no trouble playing music through my iphone on this dock. I plugged it in the other day and I got the message "This accessory is not supported by Iphone". I thought it may have been the dock so I tried my sisters phone (Iphone 4s) and hers worked perfectly fine, suggesting that it is an issue with my phone, not the dock. I also tried my phone on my sisters dock (which has worked in the past) and the same message appears. The docks will still charge my phone, just not play music. If anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated.
    Casie

    Clean the dock connector with a soft, dry brush.

  • My Ipod Touch is giving a error message of 'This accessory is not supported by iPod Touch' whenever I dock it in my Bose Sound Dock and refuses to play but will charge the device?? am screaming mad and want to be able to play audio thru using the 2

    my ipod touch will not play music thru the Bose sound dock and displays the message 'this accessory is not supported by iPod Touch' how can I fix it?

    "This accessory is not supported" usually refers to an inability to charge the iPod, but the music should still play throguh the Bose dock. My iPod Touch works this way.
    However, when the Bose refuses to make any sound, I unplug it from mains power for one minute. Then plug it back in and try again. This always sorts out the sound issue, but of course, it still will not charg the Touch.
    What happens in your case?

  • I have just purchased a lightning to 30 pin adaptor to use on an iPad mini and a gen5 iPod touch both devices are running iOS 8.1.3 and come up with The error message "this accessory is not supported by this device "

    I have just purchased a lightning to 30 pin adaptor to use on an iPad mini and a gen5 iPod touch both devices are running iOS 8.1.3 and come up with The error message "this accessory is not supported by this device "
    THis is means they are not charging on a 30 pin cable and the touch won't work in my Apple iPod dock - no audio out or charge. Have re powered both devices to no avail am wondering if the iOS version is the problem
    Help!

    If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
    This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview
    Is this what you bought?
    You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be.

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    That message basically just means that Apple wishes you would only buy Apple products for your Apple products . I get that message all the time with my iPod dock. Just click OK and move on. As for the audio player - it may be broken.

  • The "This Accessory is Not Designed for iPhone" Nag

    "This Accessory is Not Designed for iPhone"
    I guess that's the oldest (bug?) in the iPhone. What I have noticed in going from the (highly coveted) firmware 3.0.1 to firmware 4.2.1 is that after you press “dismiss”, the "This Accessory is Not Designed for iPhone" nag reappears in 5-6 Mins.
    With my old firmware the nag would only show up once, with firmware 4.2.1 it nags over and over again. (And of course, all of the accessories involved work perfectly in every way.)
    Others tell me, jail breaking is required to stop the nagging. I am not jailbreaking my phone. Please tell me there's another way.

    It's not quite a bug.
    The only reason it would reappear is if it loses the connection and then reestablishes it. It should never show up after appearing once and maintaining that connection. Presumably it i showing up because there is an incompatibility. If there is then I suppose it would make sense that it is struggling to maintain that connection.
    In terms of getting rid of it there really is no way besides using an accessory that is compatible on Apple's terms. The same thing happens to me when I use my car dock. Do I really need to be told every time I get in my car that the same dock I have used for months is incompatible (yet still works 100% fine)? Absolutely not. But it's not something that can be disabled.
