my iPhone3gs keeps saying when i plug it in to charge that "Charging is not supported with this accessory". Why is it saying this? Will Apple send me another iPhone?
iPhone 3G, iOS 6.1.3
Hi bamabelle,
Are you charging with an Apple USB cable and adaptor?

Hi:
this problem has happened once before with my orginal apple USB - i am using an apple adapter but not a USB from Apple.
I would suggest that you try another USB cable. Do you have another one you can try?
Cheers,

yes. i have already tried it-same message.
OK, so just an easy check - reset your phone and see if it makes any difference - hold down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears. Then, once the Home screen comes back up, plug 'er in, and see what you get.
If you get the same message, then you need to take a trip to your nearest Apple store or Authorized Apple Service Provider with the iPhone, cable, and adaptor so they can check it out. Or, you can simply purchase a new adaptor and cable (it sounds like the adaptor itself may have an issue at this point....)
Cheers and good luck!

Will I loose all my pictures, contacts, ect.?
Not with the reset - it is just like restarting your computer....cleans up stuff - kind of "refreshes" it and makes weird little things go away. Whenever any of my devices do something weird (which, thankfully, isn't often), I do a reset....🙂

Clean the dock connector, this message typically indicates the connector is dirty or filled with lint.
Thanks for pointing that out diesel vdub.....sometimes the simplest solutions get forgotten! MY BAD that I did not suggest that as one of the things to try!

HI there, I am new to having an iphone, I was giving a 3gs to use as a music player. It's not supprted by the docking station i have and i have two seperate leads and they dont support it either. I know the leads work as I can transefer things form itunes onto my iphone, i am finding it all a bit confusing 😟
I've same same problem.. I think might be cause of duplicate charger I'm getting charging is not supported.. Then I got original cable from my friend and when I connect it to my iphone 4s, same thing happend.. And I already cleaned the dock connector but still that problem repeats again and again.. I tired buying new cables and, but still getting the same problem.. What I have to do to solve this problem??? And please do not suggest to repair cause I'd already went for that but he told me that there is no issue with the dock connector.. So how can I get rid of from this problem??? :'(
my iphone 3gs does the same thing but i cannot reset it because it ran out of charge because of this error and the lock button fell off
iPhone 3gs- Charging is not supported with this accessory?
