  • Anyone else having issues with third party changers saying "this accessory not supported". I get it every time I plug my phone. It only started after the iOS 7 updates

    Anyone else having issues with third party changers saying "this accessory not supported". I get it every time I plug my phone. It only started after the iOS 7 update?

    That's because part of iOS7 had code in it to look for and recognize unsigned cables.
    In other words, Apple knew that people used non-signed ones and didn't care....until last month when they decided to care. People with iOS6 and lower should experience no issues (unless Apple patches those iOS versions) but folks with iOS7 will need to deal with it.

  • My iPod Touch keeps displaying the message 'This accessory not supported by iPod touch.' When I've used it w/this device multiple times, it's happening more and more frequently now. Anyway to dismiss this message for good? Because the iPod still plays .

    That message is usually due to a bad cable.

  • This device not supported on my new(ipad3 ?) ipad?

    But it is!
    I have a Apple device that plugs into my ipad/s and outputs a HDMI signal to my 32" monitor.
    I bought it for my iPad 2. When using it on my iPad 3 or (whatever you want to call it) I get a msg.
    This Accessory Not Supported, I then touch OK and the HDMI works and it charges at the same
    time.
    Bug?

    Try cleaning your dock connector.

  • Does the later 2009 MacBook support the Apple DVI to Video Adapter (s-video). I want to connect it to an old tv which does not support HDMI. Any suggestions?

    I have a late 2009 MacBook which I want to connect to an old LG tv. The tv does not support HDMI it only has the (red, while, and yellow) ports. Sorry I dunno the exact name for it.
    So I was thinking of using the Apple Mini DVI to Video Adapter (s-video), link below...
    http://store.apple.com/Catalog/dk/Images/M9319_screen.jpg
    But I'm afraid that the MacBook might not support the adapter.
    Can anyone give me a solution for this? Is there an alternative way of doing this? I'm kinda new to apple display adapters.

    The Late 2009 model 6,1 has a Mini DisplayPort not the Mini-DVI. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When the System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.
    Composite is the name for the red, white and yellow RCA plugs on your TV or red, white and S-Video plugs. If you want to use the Composite input on your TV there’s no Mini DisplayPort to Composite. You’ll have to get a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_19?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field -keywords=mini+displayport+to+vga&sprefix=mini+Displayport+to and a VGA Adapter to TV S-Video RCA Out Cable for PC Video. http://www.amazon.com/VGA-Adapter-S-Video-Cable-Video/dp/B000Y7T5UU/ref=sr_1_7?s =electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1316369974&sr=1-7
    Only the Yellow plug or the S-Video plug for video will work. For sound you'll also need audio cables to the TV using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate input plugs on your TV  http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13#/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_19?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=macboo k+audio+cable&sprefix=macbook+audio+cable&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amacbook+audio+cable

    Hello AliHoward,
    You may need to completely remove iTunes, QuickTime, and other Apple software from your system prior to reinstalling. The following articles (one for Windows XP, the other for Windows Vista/7) detail the removal process. I'll also link you to the latest version of iTunes for Windows (64bit specific installer).

  • Getting message.. accessory not supported by this ipad...trying to use Seagate external hard drive

    I recently bought a Seagate Backup slim bundle to use with my ipad. I am getting a message saying "accessory not supported by this ipad". What do I need to do?

    Howdy pbfrost,
    You should first check to make sure that your device is compatible with the iPad. See this article -
    If you need help with iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch accessories - Apple Support
    According to the Apple's store requirements for the Seagate Backup, it needs to be used with a computer. See this page -
    Seagate 2TB Backup Plus Slim for Mac Portable Hard Drive - Apple Store (U.S.)
    If you are trying to back up your iPad, you can use either iTunes while connected to a computer, or iCloud. See this article -
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
