Why doesn't a genuine Apple 30 pin to Lightning adapter work with an iPhone 6 Plus?

Hello all - I was wondering if anyone else out there was having an issue with their Apple 30 pin to Lightning adapter not working with their new iPhone 6 Plus? The adapter worked fine with my iPhone 5, but since I got my new phone, I keep getting the message that says that "this accessory may not be compatible..." Did Apple change something with their Lightning ports? Should I purchase a new 30 pin to Lightning adapter? This is annoying! I have used it in my car (Kia) for over a year with an iPhone 5 and it worked flawlessly.

Howdy nanster23,
If you have as yet been unable to use this 30pin to lightning bolt adapter, I would like to recommend the troubleshooting in the following article to help you get that squared away:
If you need help with iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch accessories
These sections in particular since you have already done a couple of them:
Disconnect and inspect the accessory, then restart your device
Disconnect the accessory and turn it off, if possible.
Inspect the connection between the accessory and device and make sure that no debris or other damage is present.
Restart your iOS device by turning it off, then back on. When the Home screen appears, reconnect the accessory.
Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Restore your iOS device. You should rarely need to use this step with an accessory issue. If the issue only affects a third-party accessory, contact the manufacturer before restoring the device.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

The Bluetooth on my 2012 Lexus doesn't work with my iPhone 5. My old android phone worked perfectly with my car. Even the tech guy at Lexus couldn't get it to work. What is apple doing to fix this.

The Bluetooth on my 2012 Lexus doesn't work with my iPhone 5. My old android worked perfectly with my car. Even the tech specialist at Lexus couldn't get it to work. Lexus said that other iPhone 5s were having the same problem. What is apple doing to fix this?

Going to the local Apple store this morning...
My problem is not uncommon as the board is showing signs of this happening to many others as well. That is where I found the restore and reboot information to try to solve the issue of crashing apps.
I understand that Apple will not "give away the cow", but letting iPhone users know that the problems they are having are being addressed by Apple is a little more comforting than nothing at all. Other wise, all the apps in world are useless and even more importantly worthless, if a person has to reset/reboot/reload just to get them to work.
IF Apple can not address the basic problems with todays iPhone apps, why should one believe that the iPhone 3.0 OS is any better? Using a PC comparison, which is better, XP or Vista. If the current iPhone OS of 2.2. what ever is not working that well (as related to down loaded apps and iTunes), will OS 3.0 be any better?
The waste of time I refer to is in going to the apps store and downloading the apps... Again why by apps if the free version does not work?

Hello lila54,
It sounds like your Wi-Fi network is working if your desktop works with it, we just need to get the Wi-Fi on your iPhone and iPad connected to it. I found a couple of resources to help with not being able to connect to Wi-Fi on an iOS device.
I recommend following the steps in this tutorial first (the steps should work on the iPhone and iPad):

If you are still having trouble connecting to Wi-Fi, follow the steps in this article (you can skip any steps you have already taken):

Apple Composite AV cable doesn't work with my iPhone 3G (3.1.3)

Hello,
Just purchased composite AV cable from apple store but it doesn't play videos on TV but audios only,
Is it firmware or my cable prlbme?

I used the original Apple composite AV cable with my iPhone 3G (OS 3.1.3) for a while and it worked fine for video playback in the iPod app. But after upgrading my iPhone 3G to iOS4 the cable stopped working. Video on my TV remains black and is shown on the iPhone's screen instead of the TV, and sometimes the iPhone tells me that this accessory is not designed to work with this iPhone. What did Apple do? Is there anyone who can confirm this change in behavior? Apple still recommends this cable in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454?viewlocale=en_US

Why doesn't the update part of the App Store work?

Why doesn't the update part of the App Store work? It says I have an update and the screen is white. I've already restarted the phone. Every other part of the App Store works. I have the iPhone 4. Upgraded a week ago to iOS6 and it was working fine up until yesterday. Not sure what to do? Help!

Genuine Apple lightning charger not working with my iPhone 5S. a notification comes up that's says 'this cable is not a genuine Apple product and may not work reliably' and although the charging symbol comes up, it does not charge

genuine Apple lightning charger not working with my iPhone 5S. a notification comes up that's says 'this cable is not a genuine Apple product and may not work reliably' and although the charging symbol comes up, it does not charge - went to Apple in Milton keynes to get a replacement charger this weekend that does not work as well!

Well, if this problems is so old I think it is strange that Apple hasen't fixed the bug long time ago, and certainly after the release of iOS 8.1.
Well, thank you very much for your answer, Lawrence Finch. I think the best thing to do is to send the phone to repair, if there is no solution to fix this by my self. I will anyway call the Apple support tomorrow, but I don't think they will illuminate me...

I use iphone 4 ios 6.1. i want to buy whatsapp app buy i cant buy it cos it says the email Id is for U.S why am in Nigeria. if i created another apple id using Nigeria country, will the app work with ma iphone that already have another id to purchase app

i use iphone 4 with ios 6.1. i want to buy whatsapp app but my previous apple id is for U.S using to get free app while i live in Nigeria. if i create another id for Nigeria region to buy Whatsapp app, will it work with my iphone that already have id?

Hello Emmanuel,
It sounds like you are trying to purchase an app on your iPhone while in Nigeria. You do not need to create a new Apple ID to do this. You will just need change the iTunes Store country in your iPhone settings and update your billing information to match the country you are in:
Change your iTunes Store country
Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
Follow the onscreen process to change your region, agree to the terms and conditions for the region if necessary, and then change your billing information.

30 pin to lightning adapter revised? How to purchase original version?.

In November of 2012 I ordered a 30 pin to lightning adapter through Amazon. It had the model number A1468 on the back. I believe Apple was the supplier for this part as it had all their standard info printed on the back of the adapter.
I used it with my iPhone 5 and later with my iPad mini to work with my Altec Lansing T612 stereo speaker docks. It worked great. It charged and it passed audio through.
Fast forward to this month and I purchase another adapter through Amazon using the same product link. It won't charge or pass audio. I try a second vendor and same issue. I also try 4XEM and theirs charges, but won't pass audio.
I go to the Apple store in town and purchase one. I notice immediately the part is wider than mine and not as tall. It also doesn't match the picture on the box. It doesn't charge or pass audio. My working adapter from 2012 looks like the picture on the box. Seems to me the part was revised.
How can I purchase more of these earlier versions of this adapter?

I have several genuine Apple 30/lightning adapters
Just compared one purchased back last Sept direct from Apple online at iPhone 5 release and one purchased couple of weeks ago at an Apple Retail store ,both unquestionably genuine Apple
They are identical
I was not aware that Amazon was selling genuine Apple adapters last year ,however there were many unlicenced
copies around and certainly on Amazon .
The description you give of the box is nothing like the detail on a Genuine Apple product ,in front of me now.

30 Pin cable combined with a 30 pin to Lightning Adapter (iPhone 5 problem)

Hey guys, I Have an iPhone 5.
I have an old iPhone 4 cable (official apple) and a lightning adapter (again, official apple) and I can charge from the wall no problem, however I don't seem to be able to connect it to my laptop for iTunes to recognise it?/
It's not the usb ports as I borrowed my brother's iPhone 5 lightning cable and that seems to work perfect, is there any reason why this doesn't work?

If you mean the 30 pin to lightning adapter, then it should be from apple. It was pretty expensive and if i google the item number on google, Applestores webpage showes up as number 2 so it should be authentic!
Item number:
MD823ZM/A

30 pin to lightning adapter broken?

My official apple 30 pin to lightning adapter has randomly stopped working. It worked in my car and on my dock, but all of a sudden the ipod says device not supported when connected and the dock doesn't connect at all. Tried girlfriend's iphone 5 and same result on the dock and in the car. Any advice or is it just the adapter that has broken? Thanks

Have checked for fluff and given it a good blow to clear anything out. The ipod charges fine with the lightning usb charger but still no joy. As the iphone didn't work either I suspect the chip may have failed. I purchased 6 November 2013 so just in the 12 months warranty so it looks as though a trip to the apple store may be required.
Thank you
