This Accessory Is Not Compatible....." Message Keeps Popping up!!
this keeps popping up without anything being plugged into it, it also kills my battery, My phone is about 18 months old and I dont think it is still covered under warranty. Any help?

There's probably some debris in the docking port. Try cleaning it out with some canned air.

IPhone 4 continues to display "this accessory is not compatible with this device" I only got my phone a week ago and I have only plugged a charger into it... Any ideas on how to fix? Ask your question.

Phone is and has continued to display "this accessory is not optimized on this I phone... It flashes on the screen continuously even when phone is locked, wasting battery life in the process. I could understand if I had used a dodgy charger but I have only used the charger I got with my iPhone. And it has been happening since the first time I charged it. Also the keyboard sounds go on and off when I'm typing, any ideas. Cheers.

Hi,
Not that's not normal and is one of the Problems I was having before Restoring as New...
Just make sure you Sync ALL your important Info... Contacts... Music... Etc... to your Computer...
and then do a Restore as New...
i was a bit reluctant at First, because I hadn't done it before... But it was So Easy and am Really Glad I did...
Cheers,

How do I fix error message "this accessory is not compatible"?

My Iphone seems to have an accessory problem that just began a few days ago. It seems to show up when I am charging it. I have had this charger ever since I bought the phone and now it's not compatible. I can't afford a new charger, much less a new IPhone 4.

You should use an Apple charger and Apple cable. If you have the ones that came with the iPhone 4 from its Apple box, then there wouldn't be any charge. Otherwise, purchasing these accessories is considerably cheaper than purchasing a new iPhone.

"NOT AVAILABLE" Message keeps popping up on tv

Hello!
I have had my television for about two years not, and the past year, the "NOT AVAILABLE" message has been popping up. At first not so much, but now more often than not. The message become quite annoying as it stays displayed on the screen while watching tv. It also disables the remote control. How can this be fixed?
Thanks
Liss

I found how to fix it myself.
In my case, something was wrong with the signal comes from the button control on the left side of the TV.
========================
What I did
========================
unplug the power cord.
Remove back cover.
Look into the motherboard ( biggest green at the center).
First, I disconnect a connector on the motherboard come from the IR board that receive the wireless signal control ( meaning the remote is disable).
I turn on the TV, press on Menu button on the TV side. Menu is still scrolling.
I turn off TV, disconnect power cord and connect the IR connector back to the motherboard.
I then disconnect the nearby connector that comes from the side control buttons.
Turn on the TV by remote, press menu button on the remote to check. The menu stays.
DONE.
I use electric tape to seal off the connector and let it hanging there.
Close the TV back panel
I have been watching TV for 3 nights without menus/channels scrolling.
NOT AVAILABLE red message when watching DVD is no longer existed.
Hope this help someone else.

HT1476 I'm using the Apple Brand cord and power adapter that came with my iPhone 5C, but I still get the "This accessory is not compatible" error. Any ideas as to why?? Please help!

I have no idea why it does that. I have it plugged into an extension chord if that helps.

Plug adapter directly into wall socket. If still problem, all components are covered by Warranty. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone, wall adapter, and Lightning USB cable to Apple for resolution.

IPhone 5 typing & opening apps by itself, "This accessory may not be supported"

Not that long ago, I got a refurbed iPhone 5 from AT&T (around Thanksgiving). Soon after, I started having problems. My iPhone would type on its own and open up apps by itself. I would also get the, "This accessory is not supported," message while using the charger that came with the phone when I ordered it. I went to the Apple store near me and got a replacement. Now this phone is having the same issues. The guy at the Apple store told me that it was MY backup that was doing it... which I seriously doubt, considering all the people that are having the same issues as me on these forums. I just contacted AT&T and they told me to go back to the Apple store and get ANOTHER replacement... and that was after he told me that his previous customer had the same issues as I did, and he's had a lot of other customers that have had them as well.
So, what do I do now? Has anyone found a fix for these problems? I was reading through the forums but almost every post is, "Having the same issues," with no way to fix them. I don't see how getting yet another replacement phone will fix the problem, since I've had 2 phones in a row that have done this. Is Apple still refusing to acknowledge that these are widespread issues? I NEVER had these problems with my iPhone 4, and now I'm wishing I had just gotten the Galaxy S4 instead... but since I used my upgrade on this POS, I can't even do that at this point.

All what people? Sorry, but if you're going to make such broad and inclusive statements, be prepared to back them up or get lots of snarky responses.

Really? There are virtually no such postings, considering the sheer number of iPhones, specially the iPhone 5 in the wild.

Apple is not here, no one here speaks for Apple.

Speaking for myself only, I have been perfectly happy with every model of iPhone I have had (3GS, 4, 4S, and 5). Both the 4 and 5 were refurbs purchased from AT&T and they look like new. I couldn't ask for anything better.. great value and a great device.

My iPhone 5 got problem when connect with lighting cable, this will keep pop up message "this accessory may not be supported"

My iPhone 5 got problem when connect with lighting cable, this will keep pop up message "this accessory may not be supported", I can't charge or sync at all. I tried plug and unplug many time, still can't detect/charge my iPhone5, but sometime will 'lucky' that can connect to my iTunes and charge battery…
This message will auto pop up also when I don't have plug anything in my iPhone 5, It is very annoying…
The lighting cable is original and now i'm using OS 7.0.4 / iTunes is 11.1.3
What I can do to fix this problem? Thank you.

I would try using another cable you can likely borrow one to test from somebody
if it's the same then likely the connector in your iphone have been damaged

My iPod touch 5th gen isn't charging and when I plug my working charger in that I've always used a message pops up that says "This accessory may not be supported". So can I send it in for a new one if I have a warranty?

For Christmas, my older sister got me a portable charger for my iPod. I'm not sure if it was capable with apple products, but it charged my iPod when I used it. My brother came upstairs and took my portable charger from me, so I went to go use my wall charger. The wall charger I have has always worked and it charges my mom's iPhone, so the problem I have isn't my charger. After I plugged my iPod in my charger, a message popped up saying "This accessory may not be supported". I was confused because this never has happened before, so I tried my portable charger after I got the message. The portable charger didn't charge my iPod anymore apparently after I tried my charger. All this happened the day after Christmas, so it's almost been a month without my iPod charging properly. My iPod does charge, but only when I plug it in halfway and am about to turn it all the way off. The only way I get it to charge is when I plug it in real fast as soon as I turn my iPod completely off. I've also restarted my iPod, cleaned out the charging area, asked people at stores that work with technology, and etc, so if someone could help me resolve this problem that would be legit because I use my iPod on a daily basis.

That message is usually due to a bad cable.

HT1349 this pop up keeps coming on my iphone this accessory is not optimised for this phone. it stops my sound

hopefully some one can help to know why this message keeps poping up and stop my sound.
this accessory is not optimised for this phone

Clean your dock connector, used canned air & a soft toothbrush. Look closely...a small piece of lint or other crud can create a short, thus producing that error message. Also look for any bent pins.

Clip for trailer won't load, regardless of the size the error message keeps popping up, "That clip is not long enough. Choose a longer clip for this part of the trailer."

I got it out!
Here is how.
None of the Apple-suggested ways worked. However, before totally giving up I started Roxio Popcorn and pressed the big eject button on it. It came out effortlessly!
So, I thought "Weird..."
I put the CD back in and reproduced my original problem. I got it out just as easily using Roxio Popcorn Eject feature.
So, I then thought "Maybe it is the disk?" There is nothing wrong with the disk as far as I can tell. It is perfectly round, has a smooth label-side surface. It is not even a label, it is a standard software install disk you buy in stores.
I inserted a different disk. The mini mounted it, I browsed it, and then ejected it by dragging it to trash. Worked fine.
I tried a few other disks.
The drive seems to work fine.
Maybe that CD is cursed, I dunno. I tried that disk in my PowerBook and it works fine there.
Who knows ?
I am still backing up my hard drive as I type this message in case I need to take it to the store.

TS2755 this accessory is not optimal for use with this iphone keeps popping up on my phone how do i stop it?

This accessory is not optimal for use with this iphone keeps popping up on my phone how do i stop it?

Can be caused by lint, dirt, or foreign material in the dock connector port and it doesn't take much.
Can also be caused by damage to the pins in the dock connector port including moisture damage.
