My iphone 3gs is showing the following error even after plenty to efforts to get rid of it 'charging is not supported with this accessory'. what shud i do ? plz help...
I bought a new cable but still its throwing the same error. Upgraded to iOS 6 from 5, still the same..!
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).

How to fix error charging is not supported with this accessory (iphone 3gs)
how to fix error charging is not supported with this accessory (iphone 3gs)?
This can mean there is some dirt, lint, or foreign material in the iPhone's dock connector port and it doesn't take much, or the dock connector port has damage with the pins or there is some moisture damage.

IPhone error "Charging is not supported with this accessory"
I keep getting error "Charging is not supported with this accessory" ever since the last update. I only get this message when iphone is locked and not plugged in to anything. When phone is locked the message keeps popping up every few seconds, consiquently I'm having to charge at least twice a day!
Error only occurs when not plugged in & iphone locked & doesn't make any difference if wifi on or off
Connectors have been cleaned
iphone has been restored
iphone has been re-booted
Nothing seems to work and after researching, all similar posts seem to be pertaining to actually plugging in to something and the fix was "clean connector" this is not my problem, error only happens if not plugged in. I'm assuming it's a bug from the last update but my girlfriends iphone is fine.
Would someone please help as the drain on my phone is rediculous now, it wasn't that good to start with but now the phone is pretty useless unless I'm near a plug! It's also very annoying having the screen constantly coming to life with this error message, especially at night.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Wayne.I've not been able to find any new solutions so I thought I would try repeating everything I've tried again. I started by re-cleaning the connector as, logically my error only occurs when not plugged in to anything. To my amazement the problem is now resolved, I did take quite a while cleaning this time using toothpicks, cotton buds and nail varnish remover. So I geuss I should have cleaned it better in the first place! Doh! Anyway it's FIXED!!

IPhone 3GS - "Charging is not supported with this accessory"
Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone can help me with this. Basically we have a non-Apple docking station at work, and we all take turns to plug in our iPods and iPhones to listen to our music. The moment I plug my iPhone in there, a message pops up saying that "Charging is not supported with this accessory"
This honestly doesn't bother me at all - the message pops up on everyone's device when they plug it in.
The thing that really bothers me is that now when charge my iPhone at home, with the official cables, etc., the same message pops up. Most of the time, if I remove the cable and re-insert it, the message doesn't appear and my phone charges normally again.
This problem only started after I plugged my phone into that docking station at work, and now it just won't stop. I've restarted my phone and everything, but I can't believe that the problem's just not going away. I'm not even using the docking station anymore... No one else at work is experiencing the same problem.
Is there anything I can do about this, or will that message never stop appearing when I try to charge my iPhone?
Thanks in advance!OK, so just an easy check - reset your phone and see if it makes any difference - hold down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears. Then, once the Home screen comes back up, plug 'er in, and see what you get.
If you get the same message, then you need to take a trip to your nearest Apple store or Authorized Apple Service Provider with the iPhone, cable, and adaptor so they can check it out. Or, you can simply purchase a new adaptor and cable (it sounds like the adaptor itself may have an issue at this point....)
Cheers and good luck!

I got a replacement of this iPhone 4. Probably a month or so. I've been taken good care of this phone, but I keep getting this pop up saying "Charging is not supported with this accessory". I've blowed on this 30 pic connector, cleaned it and everything and there still haven't been a solution. I restored it and restore it to a backup. I have to disconnect my iPhone in order to get it to work. Any suggestions? Help?
No, it is a problem with YOUR phone, not all phones. My phone does not have this problem. You have dirt or moisture in the connector on the bottom of the phone, a bent pin, or a bad cable. Get a magnifying glass and look into the connector. Clean out the lint and fluff that is almost certainly there. A dry toothbrush is a good tool, or a wood toothpick. Inspect for bent pins. If you see a red dot in the connector opening it means that your phone has water damage.

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.

Charging is not supported with this accessory iPhone 5 and lighting adapter
I just received my 30 pin lighting adapter for my iPhone 5 and connected it to my existing BMW (2008 335i) factory 30 pin cable.
The battery changes to the charge symbol for a few seconds and then I get a error on my phone that says "charging is not supported with this accessory".
Other than that I am able to search and play music from my phone through my car's audio system without isssue.
I have had this car for 4 years and used it with my 3rd generation iPod touch without issue. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing
charging issues with the new adapter and their exisiting setups,I purchased the following adapter from Amazon for my 2009 335i, and all functions (including charging) work fine on my iPhone 5:

Error message charging is not supported with this accessory
I have an iPhone 3GS from Jul 2009. Fully updated. I normally charge it using a USB port on my MacBook Pro so it also syncs at the same time. This week began getting an alert on my phone which said "charging is not supported with this accessory". I resolved initially by unplugging/replugging the cord. In all cases the phone had been charging for some time before the alert appeared. In most cases the phone was sitting on the same surface as the macbook and had not been moved since beginning charge.
The only support document I can find refers to firewire and does not apply to my device.
Since starting this week it is happening more frequently and may require being re-connected several times.
It is still intermittent issue but I depend on my phone.
Thank you for your assistanceI just found some on eBay for about 1.99 each with free shipping and ordered about 6 of them from the seller, I think they came from China so it takes a couple weeks. So far I never got a bad cable, but if you do use eBay please check their feedback to make sure they have a history of delivering quality cables and working cables. Always pay using PayPal if possible so you don't lose your money. There are online sites like Meritline and such that have cheaper cables for direct sales with PayPal checkout and free shipping.
I use the 6' cable in the car, so I don't have figure where to put the iPhone or iPod when plugged into the stereo and it is helpful to have them when trying to charge when the plug is being a dresser or something when I travel.
I also like the retractable cables ($0.99)
I also have the Scosche FlipSYNC Keychain cable too, a bit expensive, but you always have a cable with you just in case.

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? -
After update my iphone 4, I have problem charging my phone. It will always display charging is not supported with this accessory. What happen to iOS 5, how come it can register my charger?

IPhone 4 "Charging is not supported with this accessory"
I am using the IPhone 4 IOS 6.1.3 and receiving the warning "Charging is not supported with this accessory".
I changed the cords and cleaned the ports with a wire, then compressed air.
Brought it intro the Genius Bar and still having an issue, Apple thinks it may be a damaged port.
I refuse to believe that since it will still accept a charge and will data transfer to my laptop.
Any ideas on fixes?Does this message appear when anything is plugged into the dock connector or a specific device?
If the former, the port is damaged.
If the later, the device causing the message is the problem. -
My i-Pad won't charge after I downloaded some stuff from i-Tunes. I have tried charging through two computers and using the wall socket,, with different cables. I have turned the i-Pad off & on a couple of times but it still won't charge. Any ideas will be gratefully received.
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.

Neither the macbook nor ipod touch are new, and I'm using the cable provided with the ipod touch as normal and so was just hoping someone could explain what might be causing this? thanks!
Hi,
Thanks for your suggestions, tried all those but no luck until I tried another cable. Also found another thread on here with a similar complaint that suggested cleaning the cable/ipod connection which I've now done which seems to have done the trick-thanks again!
