in the settings menu, general, about, There is an item - SEID - DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THIS IS/ and if it has anything to do with a message that pops up “This accessory is not supported.”
iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.5)
SEID: This setting refers to chipset identity that is related to security and NFC, the mechanism used as part of the Apple Pay mobile payments system on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.
What are you using when you get the ‘this accessory not supported?’
Inside every lightning connector is a chip, and that chip must be signed by apple....meaning the maker of the cable must have permission from Apple to make it. If they didn’t then you can get this accessory not supported.
Sometimes it’s a glitch.
What are you trying to connect to your iPad?
It started after attaching a card reader bought from the Apple store, and also an Apple usb camera connector. I tried using them yesterday - plugging them in and out- but still get the message today. It jus pops up apparently randomly.
Hi kindangel. You may also get the "not supported" message from a bad connection to an Apple Smart keyboard, if you have an iPad Pro.
i have the keyboard but hardly ever use for typing. Just use as a stand and cover.
you may be right. I just set up the keyboard to type and it is not working and the accesso not supported immediately popped up. What to do now?
Settings, general, about, SEID. ANYONE KNOW WHAT SEID IS?
