JBL docking station "This accessory is not supported by iPod Touch"

I've had a JBL docking station that was working just fine with my iPod touch for several years and now I'm getting an error that the accessory is not supported.  Does anyone have any idea what I have to revert back to so that I can use my docking station? 

DId it happens after updation to iOS 5?  You can try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
However, it could be that the dock is not compatible with iOS 5.  You will have to wait until either Apple or JBL issues a firmware update.
Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.

  • 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?

  • This accessory is not supported by Ipod

    "This accessory is not supported by Ipod" is what it says when i plug in my iradio which is made by apple, also i bought a microphone so i could do voice recordings on my ipod touch, is there any way to have them work? is apple working on a way to fix this? i hope so!

    Unfortunately, mics, "iradios", and other things like that that plug into ipods currently do not work on the iPod touch. Maybe Apple will make these available soon...

  • Sony icfcs10ip "not supported" by ipod touch

    My son has a 4th generation iPod touch. We purchased a Sony icfcs10ip iPod docking station for him in August 2011. It worked great with his iPod Touch.
    Now it will not work. In fact, it gives a message "This Accessory is Not Supported by iPod touch." However, the Sony dock will work just fine with my iPhone4 and my daughter's 4th generation iPod touch. As far as I can tell, my daughter's iPod is identical, although hers is newer than his. My son's iPod was purchased in December 2010 and my daughter's iPod was purchased in July 2011. They are both 32 GB iPod Touch models, 4th gen.
    You might think the problem is with my son's iPod, but it will work with two other iPod music docking stations, one which is very old (Apple Hifi) and one which is very new (a Philips music dock that is only 2 months old).
    His iPod is updated to the latest OS (version 5.01). I tried doing the "reset all settings," which does everything but erasing all the content. My son doesn't want me to do the full reset because he is worried that he will lose all his levels on the games he likes to play.
    Is there any difference between a 4th gen iPod touch purchased in Dec. 2010 and a 4th gen iPod touch purchased in July 2011? Was there a software update that made the Sony dock unusable?
    TIA for any help!

    Stop shouting!!!
    We are ipod users just like you.
    All caps indicates shouting, is rude and is difficult to read.
    If you want help, yelling at those that would help is a terrible way to go about it.
    Contact ihome and ask if the unit is compatible with your ipod.
    Try the basics form the manual:  restart, reset, restore.
    turn off your caps lock

    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.

  • This accessory is not supported by this iPhone

    I have a Sony personal audio docking systyem RDP-XF100IP and all of a sudden when I place my iPhone 4s into the station to listen to music I get a popup saying that this accessory is not supported by this iPhone.  I have had the system for quite a few months and never had a problem before.  I have tried cleaning the connecttors on the system and phone but still get the message.  When I place the phone into the system it does start chargeing it though so it is getting a connection.  Any ideas?

    I only could imagine that:

  • 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.
