This accessory is not supported by this iPhone

I have a Sony personal audio docking systyem RDP-XF100IP and all of a sudden when I place my iPhone 4s into the station to listen to music I get a popup saying that this accessory is not supported by this iPhone.  I have had the system for quite a few months and never had a problem before.  I have tried cleaning the connecttors on the system and phone but still get the message.  When I place the phone into the system it does start chargeing it though so it is getting a connection.  Any ideas?

I only could imagine that:
Your radio isn't licensed
Your radio doesn't supports your iOS

  • 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.

  • 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!

    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.

    You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be.

    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.

  • 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?

  • "This Accessory is not supported by this ipod"

  • 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!

  • Why does my iphone give me this error "This accessory is not supported by iphone" on my iphone 4?

    Just yesterday went to my local Costco and bought myself a Logitech docking station and it was a great deal. On the side of the box it lists the devices that it will support. The iPhone 4 is listed. When I hooked it up and plugged my iphone 4 into it. This error come up "This accessory is not supported by iPhone". First, I was thinking what a way to get customers to buy and end it will end up not working. Buyer Beware.
    Apple should give us a update that will fix this software error on our iPhone's. There are millions of iPhone's out there and not having any problems using accessories and docking stations. Not fair to the rest of us out there that want the same benefit to the iPhone.

    This has nothing to do with Logitech. I have tried other products in the past year and a half. My iphone has been giving me this error since iOS 5. Something in the software is preventing us to use these aftermarket equipment. My sister in laws iphone 4 has the iOS 6 and she has a JVC stereo in her home and has no problems or errors on her iphone 4.
    My terminals are clean. I have given my iphone a factory reset and a restore. My iphone shouldn't be limited to uses of other products. In the near future I am planning on getting a new cellphone. I don't want to switch from apple.
    Apple's next update for iPhone should fix this for us. So, we can use our docking stations.

  • This Accessory is Not Supported by iPhone

    I have used a bedside iHome docking station for the last year with no problems.  All of a sudden, I get the message "This Accessory is Not Supported by iPhone".  It continues to charge just fine, but it disables the sound.  After charging, I have to shut the phone off, and when I turn it back on, the sound works again.  There has been no water damage on either the docking station or phone.  I have cleaned both the connections with air and with a dry soft bristle toothbrush.  Nothing has worked.  I have iOS 6.0.1.  Any suggestions?

    Having "this accessory is Not Supported by iPhone" on many of my non-apple accessories. What's up with that??? Researched on a particular accessory and saw the below. Apple you have some bugs that need fixing. Interoperability and consumer choice is the best platform.
    Anyone one else having sudden issues in the last year????

    I have been dealing with this for weeks now. Contacted Logitech and they said it is an iOS 6.1 issue! Chatted with Apple iPhone support who recorded my call as a complaint/bug; recommended submitting feedback to Apple engineers; and so I wait for it to appear in iOS 6.1.3 or later.

  • "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.

  • "This accessory is not supported with iphone"

    Just got my iphone 4 loving it. Rocking the 1st generation dock, that came with my old iPhone I think, for the iPhone classic. I thought it fit and audio comes through the line out thing, my iTunes stuff plays perfect through my phone, but I keep getting:"This accessory is not supported with iPhone".
    Is this true or is something wrong?

    I would say that this is likely the result of apples preference to manufacture things that are premium in nature.
    Case in point.  My apple g4 laptop is 20 years old, and still works.  My only problem with it is that if you pick it up with one hand it warps the motherboard, and detaches the video chip, crashing the laptop.  But the point of that is that it is a precision device.  IE like a precision piece of NASA equipment, the laptop must live on a flat surface, and not be subjected to warping.
    Now applying this concept to the iPhone 6... its .25" thick.  has a medium to large screen.  And does not heat up when playing YouTube videos for 8 hours wile charging with its native accessory.  But think about that.  to achieve that kind of performance with out heating up, the iPhone must be engineered to such an extent, as to make it sensitive to the power input.
    Incidentally, if I plug my iPhone 6 into a car charger, I bought at a gas station, and run YouTube, it heats up immensely... probably because it has to much current running into it.
    In answer to your original questions, I would say that your accessory is not providing enough power to your iPhone to safely charge it.
    other explanations might include an accessory that has a grounding problem, (the lady who electrocuted herself in china)
    or the accessory is affected by a floating ground ( the negative line is not at zero volts)/ (or the iPhone needs a negative connection that is floating, and your accessory provides a negative connection at zero volts...
    Personally I experienced this message on incompatibility, after my iPhone 6 was plugged into my pc for several house.  Incidentally that was how I learned that my work pc was having power issues... the USB power was dirty, which was causing unusual performance in the pc, and causing incompatibility with the phone.
