Lightening to 30 Pin Connector- Accessory not Supported

My Lightening to 30 PIN Apple connector is having issues with my ipod nano- 7th generation.
It keeps saying "accessory not supported"
It will randomly work (not very often anymore) and I have tried cleaning it but to no avail.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks!

i am getting the same error with my rf transmitter that i use in my car

- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Did this start happening after an iOS update? Sometimes an iOS update will break compatibility.
Sometimes this works:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Car stereo - 3GS "accessory not supported"

Anyone else got this? My 08 Subaru STI has a ipod connector that charged my 1st Gen Iphone and allowed me to play music from it on my car stereo. Now I got the 3GS and it says the same thing as before "accessory not supported" but this time it says it won't be able to charge.
Anybody with something similiar? Has this been a change for 3GS that non supported accessorys won't charge now?
Thanks

This was changed with the last generation iPhone and iPods. They are using the usb pin on the dock connector to charge the phone now instead of the firewire pin as used on your old first gen iphone. There are companies that do make adapters though. Search for "ipod 5v adapter" in google.

Camera kit accessory not supported

Hi,
I have an iPad 1 and a camera connection kit that works fine. It was working up to a week ago on a new ipad2. I updated my mac to 10.7.1 and synced my ipad2 for the first time in a while before going on a trip. During the trip I tried to use the camera kit but the ipad2 is now saying accessory not supported. The camera connector still works fine with my old ipad1
Any help or ideas?
Paul

Thanks for the reply
- Both are the same version 4.3.5
- The reset has not worked
- Both the SD card reader and the USB device when plugged in will cause the ipad2 to say "This accessory is not supported by this iPad"
- They both work on the old iPad and I can download the images
Interestingly, I also had a problem sync'ing some jpegs to the ipad2 and had to delete the latest folder so the sync could complete. iTunes was just saying that the ipad could not display those files, yes they're just straight jpegs.
I've backed up the device, I'm going to try a full reset

Accessory not supported

ipod syas accessory not supported when i put it to my car adapter and headphones

Yes it will cause you grief. Go tot the Apple store and get them to replace the keyboard, as that is the same message I got just prior to 2 keyboard failures. The iPad puts too much stress on the keyboard connector tab, and it eventually becomes loose and non functional.

Are you using the lighting digital AV adapter or a 30 pin digital AV adapter through a lightning to 30 pin adapter?

Clean the dock connector with a soft dry brush.

Accessory not supported by iphone message keeps appearing . . . .

This morning, my iPhone began to randomly display a "accessory not supported by this iPhone" message and keeps asking if I want to go into Airplane mode. On more than one occasion, the phone was not plugged into ANY accessory and was simply sitting on the table.
On another, it was playing music via the headphone jack into my car stereo.
I'm running V. 3.1.3, upgraded when it came out and have had no incident until today.
Any ideas? Not a big problem, just more of an annoyance.

Check your phone's dock connector and make sure it is free of lint and other pocket debris.

When i plug my supra ekey adapter into my iphone, I get the message "accessory not supported by iphone". I know the adapter works because I took it back to my realtor association and they checked it.

Try cleaning out the phone's dock connector. A soft dry toothbrush or similar.

My iPod Touch keeps displaying the message 'This accessory not supported by iPod touch.' When I've used it w/this device multiple times, it's happening more and more frequently now. Anyway to dismiss this message for good? Because the iPod still plays .

That message is usually due to a bad cable.
