This equipment isn't made for iphone !!

My iphone started to show the massage "This equipment isn't made for iphone do you want to turn on flight modus........" i got this massage first time using a ipod car charger. This was whit 1.1.4 than i upgrade to 2.1 (5F136), but the massage still white me. The main problem is that i can't use the phone as ipod, the musik stops after few miuntes. I have tryed to clean the conction spot of the phone, whit no luck. Any one that have the same problem and mybe an answer to my problem ?
This is an 1.gen iphone.

I get "This accessory is not made to work with your iphone." This is followed by an invitation to go to airplane mode. (Apple must have a whole department devoted to non sequiturs.) This happens every time I turn the phone on. Of course, I'm not using any accessory. I have never used any accessory. The phone just started doing this out of the blue. This is one of several annoying problems with this piece of trash. If it weren't for the great apps, I would have tossed this thing long ago. I'm making my first trip to a "genius bar" tomorrow. I tried to back up my data in preparation for that adventure, but couldn't because Itunes doesn't recognize my phone. I tried all the unhelpful "solutions" on Apple's (non)support site -- to no avail. This particular grossly overpriced Apple product would be a less than a year old 8GB iphone. I am running the latest software both on the phone ane in Itunes.

Hi GaterFarms,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has some things you can try if iTunes repeatedly prompts you to authorize your Apple ID and may help your iPhone syncing trouble:

Accessory not made for iPhone! It in the iPhone dock!?

My iPhone has a problem when it is put on its dock and ONLY when its put in the dock it occassionaly comes up with the "this accessory is not made for iPhone..." message.
This has happened 3 times over a period of 7 days- it does not occur everytime the phone is in the dock and it has never occurred any other time.
I have managed to get it to happen twice tonight but half pushing the phone into the dock BUT I can't get it to happen everytime - it came up about 2 times in 100 attempts over 4 hours to see if I could replicate it.
I have not restored it as it is so random I am not sure that restoring it will even fix it - although I will if it gets worse.
I have another iPhone dock I am trying and it has not come up in that dock but again it may not appear for hours or days as its so random!
There are no other problems with the phone. I don't know what to do!
Any suggestions? Thanks.

I was in the shower when I received a call. I turned off the shower, blotted my ear, and tried to keep the phone dry. I got to my headset (corded one that comes with it), and plugged it in to be safe. All of a sudden I start getting the message you're talking about. I also had had the ringer turned off the day before. I have no idea what caused it, or if any of that was something above that started the issue. I wasn't getting the clicking sound when I turned off the keyboard, and that stupid message kept popping up.
I tried turning off the phone and resetting it, I unplugged and replugged the headphones, and blew the phone's dock connector, earpiece, and headphone jack. I turned ringer mode on and off with the switch. None of this seemed to work.
Then I plugged the phone in DIRECTLY to the computer, just with the cord and no dock. Be-deep. The sound I loved to hear. Sleeping the phone with the top right button now clicked again, and MOST importantly, I haven't gotten the message in the last 10 minutes!!!!!
I'd love to know if any of those situations I listed above was something you had done before this occurred. And I'd love to know if it works.

Iphone stuck in recovery mode and can't recover because "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"

I have an iPhone 4S and it has been stuck in recovery mode for whatever reason. I have tried using data recovery software that can turn my phone to normal mode but when it tries all my phone does in turn off and then on again, back into recovery mode. I can't use iTunes to recover my phone because it won't let me do it without updating and recovering the iPhone. When I do this it gives me the error "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
Is there any other way I can restore my phone from backup without getting this error?

This accessory not made for iphone

"this accessory not made for iphone would you like to turn on airplane mode" message keeps coming up. I select no, I have to unplug and plug back in the apple earbuds, yes the ones that came with the iphone and it will work for a song or 2. Suspecting the earbuds perhaps have a short in them ( yes the right speaker is pretty distorted at volume) I tried to play my songs with no head set plugged in, and I still get the "this accessory not made for iphone would you like to turn on airplane mode" message. This phone is pretty much useless as an ipod, and frankly thats the only reason I bought it. My phone is approximately 3 months old. Is there a fix, is my phone a lemon or am I gonna have to send it out and be out of luck for awhile? Like most people Im very dependent on my phone and music. Thank you

done211,
The message you are describing occurs when either a device is connected to the dock connector port that is not designed to work with the iPhone, there is debris such as lint in the dock connector, or the dock connector itself is physically damaged.
Connecting something to the headphone port will not cause this message to be displayed.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.
