My iphone4 says the accessory is not supported and won't charge

For the first time I am receiving a message when attempting to charge my phone, accessory is not supported by this device.  I have tried three different cords and nothing works.  Any tips would help.
Thank you!!!

Having the same issue on my iPhone 5.... I just bought a brand new lightning cable from Apple directly.... It worked for about a week and then it started getting loose in the port and if you bump it sometimes it stops charging....

  • I've had my iphone 5s since march 2014  and I've been using the same charger it came with. for the last two weeks ive been getting a message saying the accessory may not support the device. how is that possible?

    How come I keep getting a message saying that the accessory may not support the device?  I've been using the same charger that came in the box with the phone. Now it doesn't charge at all.

    Then take the cable, the plug and your iPhone to an Apple Store genius bar it is still  under the 12 month warranty

    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.

  • IPod Nano 7th Gen says "Unsupported. Accessory is not supported" when trying to charge / sync

    iPod Nano 7th Gen says "Unsupported. Accessory is not supported" when trying to charge / sync with official apple lightening cable.
    It worked for almost a year then suddenly began to say that. My computer [windows], lightening cable and my power brick [all apple official] are all the same as they were when it was working. The iPod is almost a year old now, and has worked perfectly up until about a week ago.
    I have tried resetting the iPod, plugging it into different charging sources but it keeps saying "Unsupported. Accessory is not supported"
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?
    Thanks.

    Your iPod Nano firmware and iTunes updated to the current versions? 
    It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.

    Hi Eileen,
    With iOS 7, the devices have become more sensitive to the type of cable that is being used to charge the device. I have found that with my iPhone 4, once I upgraded to iOS 7, it became a little more sensitive to even my iPad charger. It doesn't always recognize it if I just plug it in, but if I slide it in slowly until I hear the charging tone, then I can push it the rest of the way in, and everything works as it should.
    Any chance the cable is bent or frayed? How long have you had the device and cable? If it is under a year old, take it into the Apple Store (device and cable) so you can show them what is happening. They should replace your cable.
    Cheers,

  • Why doesn't my iPhone connect to tv? Keeps saying "this accessory is not supported by this iphone"

    Why doesn't my iPhone connect to tv? Keeps saying "this accessory is not supported by this iphone"

    I assume you are running ios 8.x.  It's a bug.
    Wait for a fix from apple.   ... OR ... You could buy a new Apple brand connector. The latest connectors will work, even the older apple brand connectors do not work.  OR try re-booting your ipad. OR wait until the video starts then attach the connector.

  • My phone says this accessory is not supported. But it happens when when ever I do ANYTHING! Help?????

    My phone says this accessory is not supported. It happens all the time. Charging or not. It does it all the time. I can be using the phone, using google, opening an app, it don't matter.  Can someone help?

    Check the charging port. Sounds like there is some kind of debris in there that could be causing this. You can clean with a small toothpick or soft toothbrush.

  • After updating ipad 2 to IOS 5.1 composite video cable says "this accessory is not supported by iPad"

    Now that I have updated my iPad 2 and iPhone 4s to 5.1, when I connect my composite video cable to watch netflix or other video on my TV I get the message that the accessory is not supported.  The audio goes through fine, but the video only plays on the device.  Anyone else run into this?  Ideas on how to fix it?
    Thanks.

    I have the same problem. Even worst, I use my iPod touch at the gym cause our bikes and threadmills have iPod connection (and screen of course) so I used watch TV shows from my iPad. Last week, thought the treadmill connector on the machine was broken... from what I see, it's the TV out on the iPad that is not working anymore.
    Once home, I used my composite cable, well just like you got a message : "not supported" tried on iPad and Ipod Touch.
    THANKS APPLE WITH YOUR STUPID UPDATES!!!!
    But now seems your Video cables won't be selling much if not working hey?
    And reboot has no effect, don't waste your time.

  • After my friend locked me out of my iPhone with too many wrong passwords I restored my iPhone and now it is showing that picture of a cable leading towards itunes and itunes says the sim is not supported but it is the original sim. How do I fix this?

    After my friend locked me out of my iPhone with too many wrong password attempts I restored my iPhone via recovery mode and now it is showing that picture of a cable leading towards itunes, and itunes says the sim is not supported but it is the original sim. How do I fix this?

    Something went wrong with the update, this can and does happen with every version of iOS.
    There is nothing wrong with the update.
    Simply restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
    If iTunes is stating it will take hours to update, that indicates an extremely slow Internet connection and is likely the reason the OTA update failed.

  • I tried to delete a calendar while in the app, but now it says the action is not supported in the server. Why won't that pop up stop popping up?

    I tried to delete a calendar while in the app, but now it says the action is not supported in the server? There is also a pop-up that appears every 30 seconds to tell me about the error.

    Probably better to be posting this in the Calendar forum.

        I'm sorry you're unable to activate the Versa on your Pre-Pay line carter123123. Let's figure out what's going on here. Where did you get the phone from? It could be that its on the lost/stolen list; therefore, locked. Have you contacted Pre-Pay to see what exactly the issue is? You can reach Pre-Pay at 888-294-6804.

  • Hello..when I download attachments from any email..iPages opens and says some features are not supported and cuts out photos and lengthens my attachments

    hello..when I download attachments from any email..iPages opens and says some features are not supported and cuts out photos and lengthens my attachments

    What format are the attachments? If Pages will not display them properly you will need an application that does. Pages usually opens word documents but can give problems at times, if they are MS Word documents, try Libre Office or failing that you may have to purchase MS Word for Mac, maybe you will need to buy the complete Office suite.
    The other possiblity is that you already have a suitable application and Pages is loading the file by default, if so change the default application to open that file type.

    Why do i keep getting an Alert message saying "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded "?
    This happens a lot regardless of the web page. I continually have to restart FF and it persists still

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
