"This accessory is not supported by iPad. Ipad is not charging"

I have two vehicles and in BOTH of them the ipad is totally useless when I hook it up to the stereo's USB port (in my jeep's brand new after market's kenwood stereo) as well as my wife's new (enuf) Acura MDX. It does work, however, with the aux in , but not with the designated ipod/mp3 input.
It is not a really big deal, but i just wonder why this is? (the ipad won't even charge which ***)

Furthermore, the iPad doc has an analog audio out jack.

There is an accessory to deliver VGA video.

I really don't think it's a hardware issue.

HT4060 ' charging not supported with this accessory' and Not Charging at all

Help and advice please.
I am having problems getting the new IPad to charge at all and sometime it displays this message.
' charging not supported with this accessory'. This message is appearing occasionally on my 5 week old new iPad (3) within a few minutes of plugging it in. :( It is also not charging after this message appears. I am using the supplied wall socket and cable. I am also having problems getting the iPad to charge at all even if the message does not show. This is frustrating me no end. I expected a reliable device given the amount I paid.
I am so disappointed, frustrated and feeling some what angry.
I rang Apple support today (twice) and it made a liar of me working just fine for few minutes the first time then again failed, then for hour or so after the second call seemed to work just fine. Now it is not charging, and won't charge despite repeatedly unplugging and repluging, Switching off the iPad and turning it back on etc etc.
I am not happy at all!

Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

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.

HT4108 Digital AV adapter does not support iPad 2. Error message "This accessory does not supported by iPad"

Just bought latest digital AV adapter MD098ZM/A. Does not work with my iPad 2. Error messade" this accessory is not supported by iPad" while the package saying it supports iPad 2 and later.

It's works with the new iPad. It said "accessory not supported". I clicked OK and now it works.

I have just purchased a lightning to 30 pin adaptor to use on an iPad mini and a gen5 iPod touch both devices are running iOS 8.1.3 and come up with The error message "this accessory is not supported by this device "

I have just purchased a lightning to 30 pin adaptor to use on an iPad mini and a gen5 iPod touch both devices are running iOS 8.1.3 and come up with The error message "this accessory is not supported by this device "
THis is means they are not charging on a 30 pin cable and the touch won't work in my Apple iPod dock - no audio out or charge. Have re powered both devices to no avail am wondering if the iOS version is the problem
Help!

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.

After iOS 8 update: "This accessory is not supported by this iPad" using Digital AV Adapter on iPad 2

After the update to iOS 8 on an iPad 2 I receive the error: "This accessory is not supported by this iPad" using a digital AV adapter. It works for about 20 seconds before I get the error. Same adapter worked with iOS 7.1, same adapter still works on my iPhone 4s with iOS 7.1.
Curious if anyone else has this issue. The adapter is not a genuine Apple adapter, so I think I'll just buy an official Apple adapter, but I'd love to hear if anyone else has upgraded to iOS 8 and can still use their digital AV adapter on iOS 8 with iPad 2, and what brand of adapter you have. Thanks!

Still not working. My adapter shows as an apple A1422. I can successfully plug it in to an iPad 2 with an older IOS but mine which is on 8.1.2, gives the error "This accessory is not supported by this iPad." I tried turning off the iPad and connecting it to the tv before turning it on. When it is turned on, it displays on the tv for a moment, then the message pops up and no picture is on the tv any longer. Clicking ok does not change the lack of a picture On the tv, but I can use the iPad as normal.
I've tried the adapter on a different iPad 2 that is not on IOS 8 and no message appears.
Help, please!

HT4060 Suddenly my iPad won't charge. A box appears saying 'this accessory is not supported'. What does this mean. Why has it suddenly appeared?

Suddenly my I pad won't charge. A box appears saying 'this accessory is not supported'. What accessory? What does this mean? Why has it suddenly happened? What do I do?

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,
GB

Have you tried resetting your phone and/or your iPad? Hold down the Home and power keys until the silver apple appears. Might help. Can't hurt.

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.

Suddenly iPad gets: this accessory is not supported by ipad on an accessory that worked for years.

I have an iHome iD85 it used to work fine, but now I get the error this accessory is not supported by ipad.
Is there a way to find out if its the iPad or iHome... and / or how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

go to ihome website, maybe you need to look into the troubleshooting section

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.

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately it didn't work. Have tried both kinds of restore. First restoring from backup and second as a new device (twice). Still get the same "Accessory not supported" message. Thank goodness I can use the old 30 pin SD reader with the lightning adaptor for my up-coming trip. I tried it again and it worked again. BUT I hate having a piece of Apple equipment that doesn't work.

Charging not supported with this accessory shows up on my iPad. The cable seems to be broken at the connector. Could it be that I need a new USB cable?

Yes, but should be covered under the warranty of your device (or any device under warranty using that cable) just bring it into the store.

After iOS 8 update: "This accessory is not supprted by this iPad" using Digital AV Adapter on iPad 4th generation

after update iOS 8 my camera connection kit does not work on my 4th generation iPad message reads 'this accessory is not supported by this ipad'
has anyone else had this problen

I Have ordered from Amazon an Apple MD822ZM/A Lightnjng to SD Card Camera Reader £27.95. I will let you know if it works. I am annoyed as I do not think it is fair that you can only use Apple accessories and I am sure there must be others too My other was not Apple and cost under £10 but now after update does is not compatable!

This accessory may not be supported message started a few days ago. Now, I get the message every time I plug in and my phone won't charge!

Three days ago, my iPhone 4 started sporadically displaying this message when I plugged my authentic apple iPhone charger in: "This accessory may not be supported." I was dismissing it, until my battery was nearly dead and I finally realized that when the message would come up the charging would stop.
Somehow, last night, I got it to begin charging on my Macbook and although it stopped a few times, got it back to 95%.
Now, it happens every time I plug it in to charge and it WILL NOT charge.
Details:
I am using genuine apple chargers. The one that came with my iPhone and the one that came with my iPad.
I am using outlets that work.
I have tried charging on my Macbook and receive the same message.
I am on IOS 7.1.1
The battery seems to be draining faster than usual.
It seems like when the battery gets low enough (<5%), it will charge again, at least a little bit, without the message popping up?
I tried to make a genius bar appt. but the next one isn't until next Tuesday! Eek. I cannot afford a new phone right now, and I am really hoping there is a way to fix this. If there is anything I can do at home to isolate the problem, or reduce what could end up costing a lot I would greatly appreciate your help.

hi, try all what these guys say, as they make sense (my bet is on a slug of kebab guys ).
you list bits you have tried but don't say if you have tried a new lead?
i'm not being tricky, as an electronics engineer of some 40+ years who repairs consuls, iPhones, iPads etc. i have some experience of what gets overlooked. Some of the cheap after market leads aren't the best quality,and some darn right lethal, likely to catch fire while your asleep. you might have bought of them.
i find it tends only genuine Apple leads lock in, but there might be fakes of them to. either way worth a go. perhaps se if your family or mates have one.

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.
