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.

    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.

    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.

  • "Charging with this accessory is not supported" But it's my iPhone charger?

    When I try to connect my phone to the iPhone charger in the wall socket, and also the USB cable to my iMac it say's "Charging with this accessory is not supported".
    What's the deal?
    Also when I make calls, I get a freaky alien noise nearly everytime. I can hang up and recall the number and it will work fine, but almost every first call is like this, and no doubt I'm getting charged for it too.
    Any help appreciated.

    I had a Belkin charger and cord for the iPod Touch 3G because Apple failed to include a necessary AC adapter to charge one of their products, which I thought was cheap being that it is a 300+ device. Anyways, when I plugged my new iPhone 4 in, I could not turn on the sound and it didn't have any sound. When I used the cable that came with the iPhone, I was able to get my sound back. The problem is with the cord. If it is not completely compatible with Apple then you will not be able to charge the iPhone.

  • 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.

  • My iPhone 3GS won't charge. It saids this accessory is not supported but the charger works on other IPhones. What do I do???

    My iPhone 3GS won't charge! Whenever I plug it in it saids charging not supported by this accessory. What do I do?? Help please!!!

    You can clean the iPhone's dock connector with an old dry toothbrush.
    You won't know for certain, but if no change after making sure the dock connector port is clean, more than likely there is some damage.
    Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby where it can be determined if there is damage to the dock connector port or if there is another hardware problem.

  • What adapter do I need for my ipod Nano 7th Generation to connect to a Sony home docking station (30 pin). I purchased the one recommended (Lightning to 30 pin adapter), but it says 'this accessory is not supported by this device)?

    Could someone please tell me the correct lead I need for an Applie Ipod 7th Generation 16GB for a Sony docking station. I bought a Lightning to 30 pin adaptor that fits the dock but not the ipod (this was recommended to me by someone from the Apple shop believe it or not). I need one that will fit the ipod and then slot into the 30 pin dock. The dock pulls out and my old ipod (5th Generation) just slotted straight in, but this slot obviously doesn't fit. It would really help if someone can recommend what I need to use or even if there is one that just slots in or whether I need some sort of cable and can't use the docking station. I've had a lock at the Apple store but just keep getting confused about what does what and can't seem to see anything unless I need an additional cable to slot into the 30 pin adapter I already have?
    HELP - CONFUSED.COM!

    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.

  • 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.

  • Why- I try to connect my Samsung PL 55 camera to my iPad 1 using the camera kit it tells me this accessory is not supported by iPad.   I have tried restarting etc but nothing works

    I got the camera kit and plug in my Samsung pl55 camera.  The iPad eventually says this accessory is not supported by iPad.    a matte camera asks me if ! want to connect the USB to a computer or a printer.   I select computer but by then it's too late and everything just sits and nothing happens. 

    Are you using Apple's iPad Camera Connection Kit?
    Have you plugged your Samsung PL55 into the kit as shown here:
    Are you trying to send JPEG images from the camera to the iPad?
    Your post has a portion that starts with " a matte".  I don't understand it.  Perhaps the beginning of the sentence got omitted.

  • Trying to watch ipad on old composite tv this accessory is not supported by ipad

    I am on vacation and have access to old composite tv's.  I want to watch my movies on my ipad on these tv's.  I bought the composite video cable, but when connecting the ipad says this accessory is not supported by ipad. No video no audio.  Please help

    both your ipad 2 and iPhone 4 can't use the cable?! Maybe it's part of the NEWER cables that came out to support the ipad 3's and you're experiencing some sort of bug?
    That really stinks, I would definitely go back and tell them this, but you're on vacation so, maybe it's time to break out the analog Uno set?
    good luck, I'm sorry to hear about your situation.

  • Webpages keeps saying "This domain is not supported"

    Just recently, certain webpages are coming up saying "This domain is not supported". It happens in both Mozilla and Google Chrome web browsers. It will do it when I try to search something. Or even when I go to visit pages that I usually do. (yahoo, toysrus, amazon, etc. well known sites).
    Any suggestions on why this is happening and/or how can it be fixed.

  • Apple iPhone 5 cable saying "this accessory may not be supported"?

    Using the Apple Lighting cable I specifically purchased off the Apple site with my Apple iPhone 5 (IOS 8..1.2) so that I would have at least one charge cable that would work with my computer and my phone. But at last I have been mistaken. Everything I plug my phone in with the Apple cable it informs he that "this accessory may not be supported"? Does anyone know a solution to this problem. I know i've emailed Apple about this once before and magically it started working for that night but its yet to wok since with my computer. I know the cable works just fine as I use it ever day to charge my phone with my wall adapter so I know the cable itself must not be the problem.

    Hey A.R.R,
    If you are having an issue with an alert saying that the cable is not supported for use with your iPhone, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Specifically -
    If you see an alert
    When you plug in your device, you might see one of these alerts:
    “This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPhone.”
    “This accessory is not supported by this device.”
    If you see one of these alerts, unplug your device try and these steps:
    Look at the connector at the bottom of your device and make sure it’s free of debris, then reconnect the USB cable.
    If you still see an alert, try a different USB cable or charger.
    Get more help
    If your device still doesn't charge or you still see an alert after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support.
    Be well,
