"This cable is not certified and may not work properly..." Official Apple cable!

I am using an official Apple charging cable and keep getting the message "This cable is not certified and may not work reliably..." And this cable has worked until now! Restarting the phone works sometimes but only for a bit.
What's wrong here/

Thanks, but it didn't fix it. I've tried 3 different Apple cables and I get the same message with each. I'm guessing it's the port has become defective somehow although with all the other questions about the same issue, I wonder if it could be a software issue!

My iphone5c is still under the 1 year warranty, the top button constantly sticks and does not work properly will Apple still replace my phone even though there is a few chips and scratches on the back?

As Peter says above, only an Apple Store genius can advise you.
But to further clarify, you seem to postulate that if Apple helps you, the cure would be a replacement. That is not necessarily true. Let them look at it and advise you what the remedy is. They may offer you nothing (saying it's your fault), or they may offer you a solution (keeping your current iPhone), or possibly a replacement.

Remote not working properly with Apple TV...sporadic fuctioning

Hello,
I have no idea what caused this to happen, but both my remotes (I have one from my MacBook Pro and one from my AppleTV) seem to not work properly with AppleTV. It sometimes works but it is extremely frustrating as it only registers about 1 out of every 10-20 clicks then continues to remember the previous clicks therefore making it essentially impossible to select the desired menu/item. Basically it just seems like it's out of control!
I tested whether it was the remote or AppleTV that was causing the problem by running Front Row on my MacBook Pro and both remotes seem to navigate Front Row perfectly fine. They both act the same way with AppleTV, whether they are paired or not. It seems as though something happened with my AppleTV. This problem occurred randomly, with no specific cause I can think of.
Please let me know if any of you have ever experienced this problem and what your solution was, if any!
I have tried restoring to factory conditions, resetting settings, ran diagnostics, unplugged and replugged it, and nothing seems to be working!
Oh, and I just replaced the battery on one and have tried swapping batteries, etc.
HELP PLEASE!
Thank you,
Travis

The menus have never been as responsive as they used to since the 2.0 update in my opinion - basically AppleTV seems to cache/buffer remote click if it is busy or perhaps waiting for something to stream from itunes, and when resources become available it suddenly executes all command rapidly which makes it behave wildly in menus.
Usually happens I find after restarting the unit or if streaming drives have gone in to power saving modes and there's a delay while they wake up to feed the AppleTV.

Remote not working properly with Apple's iPod to TV dock/system

Everything appears to be set up right and the remote is communicating with the ipod base, which in turn is connected to the TV... But the Menu feature doesn't seem to work at all or defaults to the music library (no menu, just starts playing)... All the settings appear correct and if I manually select a TV show on the iPOD and can control the position and volume with the remote, but hitting the menu button as one would on the ipod to get the full list of shows either does notthing or starts the music... UG!!! Just bought this today and very diappointed that it seems buggy, not working...
I know this is probably not a high volume issue, but can someone please help???
Thanks!

Don't feel alone. I have the 80GB and my AV kit remote is doing the same thing. Start playing the video, pressing menu doesn't cause a response at all. However, if you hit the "go back" you end up back at the video menu. When you hit play it starts playing 1 of how many songs you have loaded in your ipod.
This has had to be known as an issue by now.
Cheers!

T430S device manager: USB-IF x HCI USB host controller is not working properly

Hi ,
How to change get ride off the exclamatory mark on this device:
Problem:
Device manger Intel WiUSB: USB IF x HCI USB Host Controller always has the exclamartory mark on it.
Device status: This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)
Pls help, thanks.

Hey there wche5,
I found some information over on this thread may be beneficial to your situation. This controller enables USB over wireless as part of the Intel (WiDi) Wireless Display function. To obtain a fix you will need to go to the Intel Site, and run the Intel Driver Update Utility. This should identify any Intel drivers you have that are out of date, including the WiDi driver.
Other threads on the forums point directly to this driver by Intel that typically resolves the problem, found on this thread at the end.
I hope this able to assist you in getting a solution to your issue, Thank You wche5!

Virtual Wi-fi miniport adaptor 'not working properly'

Do I need this adaptor? I've been trying to set up a wireless printer and I think this is what is getting in my way. The printer software will not fully download, laptop can not find the printer, etc. I think it is this adapter. I've read some
other answers related to the 31 error (which is what I got) but I really don't understand the solution. There is no updated version, either. I have an Atheros Wireless network adapter. Is that good enough ?

Hello Ljuz,
What 31 error do you mean? Please share us the whole error message.
Please try to uninstall the virtual Wi-Fi miniport adaptor as Acreed02 mentioned.
Please take a look at the error code 31 in the following KB.

Since I downloaded the upgraded software, my charger that came with my phone says "this cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iphone" It worked before but now it doesn't...I don't think I should have to buy a new one...

since I upgraded to the new operating system my charger no longer works...
It says"this cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPhone"

Try checking your cable socket/lightning cable for dirt, grime, pocket lint, etc. I could not find the solution to this issue myself and after much searching I found someone stating that cleaning this out helped them immensely.
After taking a wooden toothpick (making sure the phone was OFF first) and gently clearing out the edges and inside of the lightning socket this went away.) It is worth noting that I had a significant amount of dust or lint buildup along the edge rails which I think was causing the iphone to believe it was plugged into something when it was not.
Try it and see, ensure you are very careful and do not use any conductive tools to clean the area in question. Compressed air also does wonders here.

HT1476 upgraded my IPOD 5 to iOS 7.0.2 and will not charge battery. when plugged in gives message "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this IPOD".

Just Upgraded my IPOD 5 to iOS 7.0.2 and it will not charge the battery anymore.
When I plug it in, it now gives the message "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this IPOD".
Anyone else have this issue after they upgraded the iOS system?
Thanks,

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- 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.

Why does my phone keep popping up messages "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iphone" when there is no cable connected?

Why does my phone keep popping up messages "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iphone" when there is no cable connected? This has been happening since IOS7 was installed and has become worse with 7.1. I have reset the phone several times with no change.The phone charges properly & I have never used anything but an Apple Lightning cable.

I already cleaned the port with compressed air before submitting the problem. I since cleaned it with a toothpick and dug out some more lint. this seems to have just about fixed the problem since I have only had the error pop up 3 times since then and i was getting the error constantly before.

IPHONE 6 This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably

I have the IPhone 6. Bought it last Saturday,Just updated it to the newest 8.0.2 software Friday Sept 26th. No Problems until today, Monday Sept. 29th when Im getting this error .
It started this afternoon and, no i did not and do not have it plugged in. It was charged this morning and was at 57% battery this afternoon when the problem started.
Now I get this messege that keeps poping up over and over "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iphone"
It keeps popping up and i dont have ANYTHING plugged into it.
I called Verizon because thats who i bought it from who put me thru second line for help.
After a bunch of BS and telling me that they have had problems with chargers because of the amplified voltage and wrong plug being sent out which sounds like bull to me because he said the new iphones have a different head on the plug, not the phone side but the end that has the usb connection and goes to the ac outlet, which dont make a lot of sense when you can also plug them into a usb port. I looked at different iphone plugs from the 4s, the 5 and the 6,and they all show the same input and output voltages and amps. Basically nothing that has to do with my problem i am having
Anyway at this point now they are saying something may have happened with the new software when i download it last friday.
So now they had me backup my phone to itunes, and restore the iphone from itunes.
When you do this, itunes will automatically download the new version software, which seems to be taking a long time to download.
I will try to post results later to see if this works......

I am having the exact same problem you are, straight out of the box. Got an iphone6+ this morning and five minutes after I turned it on, it started coming up with the same error as you.
The phone was on ios 8 (not 8.02). I did the upgrade to 8.02 but it still comes up. I'd be very surprised if this is a software problem. I didn't even get to charge it or plug anything in !! Started doing it straight away.
The error comes up even when I have NOTHING plugged it to the phone.
I am very annoyed!!!
If possible could you please let us know what the Apple Tech people say.
thx
David

Reoccurring warning, literally every 20 seconds: "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPhone." I am only using Apple devices. How can I eliminate the warning?

Please help me eliminate this repeating warning message on my iPhone 5. It occurs several times a minute. I am only using Apple devices, so the warning is in error. "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPhone."

The cable may be damaged. Try another cable.
Make sure it properly connected at both ends.

HT1476 This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPhone

This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPhone

This is an incredibly stupid move by Apple. Nobody could convince me that it's about security and safety...
I bought two Lightning to 30-pin Adapters to use my two 4s chargers with my 5s iPhone.
Price on Amazon - 3$:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00IA95L2A/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8 &psc=1
Price on Apple for the same thing - 60$

This is just a piece of metal and plastic. It's ridiculous.
Apple, please remove this ridiculous software. I also have a car charger. Should I just throw them away because I paid a bunch of money for your new device? That's how you reward loyalty?!!

HT4623 Why do my iPhone cords for my 5 say it is not certified and may not work with this device? It's the same cord that came with my phone. The only difference is the iOS7 update.
