Update on Lightning Cable Purchase to Avoid This Accessory May Not Be Supported Message
Hello List, I posted several days back about getting the error message This accessory may not be supported when charging my iPhone 6 by plugging its lightning cable into a 6-foot USB extension cable attached to my computer. It was obvious that the USB extension cable caused the error because it did not appear when plugging the lightning cable straight into a USB port. I wanted a cable at least 6 feet or longer with a USB male connector on one end and the Apple lightning connector on the other to provide an easily accessed charging point since my mid-tower computer is on the floor. I checked the Apple Store first but they charge just under $30 for a 6-foot lightning cable and I thought that was too high. After getting comments on this list, I purchased from Amazon the [Apple Mfi Certified] / ZerolemonR Lightning to USB Data and Charge Cable/ 3m for Iphone 6 (4.7) / Plus (5.5) /5s / 5c / 5, Ipad Air / Mini / Mini2 / Ipad Air / Ipad 4th Generation, Ipod 5th Generation, and Ipod Nano 7th Generation [2 Year Warranty] - White. Sorry for the long title but that's copied straight from the Amazon website. This 3 meter ZeroLemon cable which is Apple Mfi Certified is about 10 feet and has a 4.4 Amazon reviewers rating and a 2-year warranty. I'm very happy with its fit and finish as the cable is thicker than the Apple-provided one and it charges my iPhone 6 quickly with no recurrence of the this accessory may not be supported error message. Here's a link to it at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M5JG8ZK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie =UTF8 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M5JG8ZK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?i e=UTF8psc=1 psc=1 It sells for $14.49 from the default vendor listed by Amazon but I ordered mine from Bastexwireless who was one of the other suggested vendors and paid $13.68 and got free shipping without having to have an order over $35. I can highly recommend this cable. Many thanks to Sieghard and others who posted guidance on my original thread.

RE: Update on USB Extension Cable and This Accessory May Not Be Supported Issue
Hi Sieghard, Are those cables you're referencing longer lightning cables? Sounds like they must be based on your Amazon Basics description. If so, have you used them with an iPhone 6 since this problem only began with my new iPhone 6? Thanks.

I have a couple of 10 foot cables from Monoprice and also one of the Amazon Basics Lightning cables (I think it's 8 or 10 feet as well) and they all work great. I believe the Monoprice cables are around $12 and the Amazon maybe $15, can't remember.

Re: Update on USB Extension Cable and This Accessory May Not Be Supported Issue
I don't like the practice, but I don't see how it could be made illegal. Companies have the right to use proprietary components. Companies can also void warranties if approved peripherals aren't used. Apple doesn't have a monopoly on smart phones, and if you want a smart phone that uses an industry standard connector, you have plenty of options.

Re: Update on USB Extension Cable and This Accessory May Not Be Supported Issue
What I was saying is exactly what you're pointing out. Other posters are saying, I think, that Apple puts the chip into their cables while other manufacturers do not, thus causing the error to be triggered. But that would create so many complaints that it would really cause a ruckus. --- Be positive!

It is the case that approved Lightning cables have a microchip in them to authenticate that they are Apple approved. This is easy enough to look up on the web with a Google search. The wikipedia page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_%28connector%29 for example says the following: Official Lightning connectors contain an authentication chip that makes it difficult for third-party manufacturers to produce compatible accessories without being approved by Apple. I've seen this discussed on this list multiple times. I suspect the only reason it doesn't come up more often is because most people are probably using the cable that came with their Apple device or they're getting an Apple approved cable. I have no idea how many complaints Apple gets, but I'm sure it's easy for them to turn them away and just let those people know they need an Apple approved cable.

RE: Update on USB Extension Cable and This Accessory May Not Be Supported Issue
Hi Alan, I doubt it is a problem, but why not spend $10 or $15 instead of $30 or more and get a longer cable from Amazon or Monoprice. I have a couple of 10 foot cables from Monoprice and also one of the “Amazon Basics” Lightning cables (I think it’s 8 or 10 feet as well) and they all work great. I believe the Monoprice cables are around $12 and the Amazon maybe $15, can’t remember.

Charles, I have not experienced this at all. Obviously others have. I don’t know if this is done intentionally, but if so, I am of your same opinion. This is not the first proprietary thing Apple has done. The fact that their headphone/microphone jack is wired to have the microphone portion of the jack not work with just about any standard microphone on the market is another case in point. I guess companies have a lot of room to do this kind of thing. There was a day when a popular reel to reel dictating recorder actually reversed the right and left channels so no other recorder could play their recordings. I will investigate this more when I get my iPhone 6, although I hear people saying that it also happens on the 5 plus. I am using a 5 and have, as I said, not had this problem.

There must be something different about that particular cable that causes the alert. In order to give flexibility and strength to cables, they are made of stranded wire, and if only one strand breaks, it can cause problems. This might be what is happening, although this is conjecture on my part, based on my past workings with making cables using a soldering iron, electronic solder, wire and jacks. --- Be positive!

I can now confirm that I only get this unsupported accessory message after my iPhone is fully charged. I believe others have also reported this same result. So, I decided to save the $30 on the 2-meter lightning cable and continue to use my USB extension cables to provide more length since the phone does charge with this arrangement.

Hi there, I respectfully disagree with you. I have a brand new cable and I get this same error. It may also mean simply that the phone does not like the cable even though it may be correct.

Re: This Accessory May Not Be Supported Message
This typically happens when the cable is not certified by apple. Often, non-certified cables will work for a short period of time and then this error will come up. I have also noticed that this error comes up shortly before the cable does not charge the device. I recommend the AmazonBasics lighting cables. They are certified and a lot stronger than the Apple cables. You can purchase 3Ft or 6Ft cable lengths, the 6Ft cable is really nice.

This Accessory May Not Be Supported Message
Hello. I have an iPhone 5 with the latest IOS8 update. I am using the same cable that came with the iPhone. For the last few weeks I have been getting the message, This accessory may not be supported when I plug the phone into the wall to charge it. It also happens when I connect the iPhone to the USB port on my computer. The phone charges, and gives the percentage, but it no longer says Charging. Does this mean I need a new lightning cable? Where is the best place to get one? Thanks.

Re: iPhone 6 More Sensitive to This Accessory May Not Be Supported Messages?
I only get the message this cable may not be supported once my iPhone has completely charged. I'm using an iPhone 6 and experienced the same with my iPhone 5.

Donna On Feb 10, 2015, at 1:25 PM, Alan Lemly wale...@gmail.com wrote: Hello List, I learned through experience with my iPhone 5 to only use Apple cables and AC adapters for charging my iPhone. However, I've always used a 6-foot USB extension cable to plug into the back of my mid-tower desktop which sits on the floor in order to make one rear USB port accessible from the top of my computer desk. I never received any messages from my iPhone 5 when charging it by plugging its lightning cable into the USB extension cable. With my new iPhone 6, I've gotten the This accessory may not be supported. error message on my phone several times when doing this. I don't get the message immediately when plugging in but only after a few minutes and the times aren't consistent. The USB extension cable must be the culprit because when I plug the lightning cable directly into a front USB port, the message does not recur. I've decided that the iPhone 6 must be more sensitive to extension cables and was wondering if anyone else had experienced this. Thanks in advance for any comments.

Re: compressed air, was - This Accessory May Not Be Supported
As a note here, for those who can't see to read the label on cans of compressed air, the air in these cans are compressed but there is also a chemical in the can that is very poisonous to small children. Children think that all that's in the can is air and want to stick the straw that these cans come with for getting in to tight areas in their mouths. As they say, keep out of reach for small children. That having been said, cans of compressed air works great for blowing off dust on computers, and external keyboards.

Re: This Accessory May Not Be Supported
You can try the compressed air, but a friend of mine kept having this message come up on his iPhone too. He took it to an apple store and they said the whole speaker to the top of the phone wake-sleep button needed to be replaced. He has a 4s. The person helping him took off the back and took out a piece that goes through the phone from speaker to wake-sleep and slipped another in. It has never popped that message again. He said the cost was about 90 dollars, but if you have insurance on your phone it will probably not cost at all. Hope this helps. reggie and Allegra On Aug 13, 2014, at 9:07 AM, Alan Lemly wale...@gmail.com wrote: Sieghard, I do keep my iPhone in my pocket but with the connector and headphone jack end toward the top for easier access.

Re: This Accessory May Not Be Supported
Well, I've had my lightning cable sense I got my iPhone 5s on October 20, 2013 so it's just months short of a year. I got my iPad Air in January of this year. Both cables are still in perfect condition. I too take very good care of my equipment and cables and connectors. Even when I traveled on the road with a band I did the same thing. I guess when it comes to cables and connectors I just hate to have to buy another one if I can at all help it. I did buy an extra lightening cable though as a backup. It's still in it's packaging it came in. I never opened it up. Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2014! Teenagers; Tired of being harassed by your stupid parents? Act now! Move out. Get a job.

Hi, I have the same message charging with non apple certify cable when i was overseas. I think, since then, it rulen my battery life quite significantly. i was away for quite some period of time. I guess, just be aware of the damage it might cause, using the 3rd party cable. According to Apple, my battery was on 20% of its normal capacity. I'm lucky that they replace the battery for me free of charge. Joanne Chua The flip side of Inclusion is Exclusion.

Re: This Accessory May Not Be Supported
Hi, Alan, I just recently acquired an iPhone case with a battery charger in it and it's really neat. However, from time to time, I also get that error message with that. I can't remember the brand name of this case, but a lot of the time I have to press the charge button on the case to activate the charge again. However, I turned Bluetooth off tonight and I got the phone to give me a full charge in the case. I don't know if that has anything to do with the error message or not. I know someone who has the same case as I, but I don't know if he had ever gotten the same message. Esther Levegnale Sent from Esther's Amazing iPhone!

Re: This Accessory May Not Be Supported
The Apple certified cables with lightning adaptors have a special chip which communicates with the battery system in the iDevice to best manage the battery charge and condition. Non Apple certified lightning adaptor cables do not have this chip, and will shorten one's ultimate battery life. I only use Apple certified cables for this reason. Also, Apple certified wall adaptors have regulator technology which stops current flow if there is a strong power draw as well as surge protection. This system communicates with the lightning chip to best manage the iDevice or Mac battery condition and charging.

RE: This Accessory May Not Be Supported
David, Can the older Apple wall jacks that came with the 30-pin connector be used with the lightning ended cables?
