Anyone had "charging not supported" with ipod touch

Anyone have any ideas?

I have an ipod touch connected to my B&W Zeppelin. It worked fine for 3 months until a few weeks ago the ipod touch stopped charging when attached to the zeppelin.

It says "charging is not supported with this accessory". It works fine with my friends Bose system. So I returned the Zeppelin - they sent it back - no fault found. Went into a local shop - tried my ipod touch on their zeppelin - same fault.

I assumed ipod touch damaged - but charges fine when charged via my netbook and on Bose system.

Borrowed my mates ipod - it charges fine on my zepellin.

Not found another ipod touch 3rd Gen to try and charge on my zeppelin.

Anyone any ideas? B&W say Zepplin is fine. Apple say ipod touch is fine if it charges via netbook and on Bose system...

Did you do a firmware update?
Many accessories are not supported with the newer firmwares

One thing that I was able to bypass this error message using my tumi charger is plug in in and out and again real quickly

I updated to 4.01 software - would that be it?

On the B&W website it says it is compatible.

I gather 4.02 is out next week - wonder if that will fix it?

Is it possible to downgrade easily?

could be. the 3g phone worked fine, 3gs doesnt.
I dont think the new firmware will fix it.
Downgrading is possible.
I never had to downgrade, but google comes up with results like so

I had this issue occur with aftermarket chargers for my iphone4. It seems to be a glitch. The easy solution is just to change chargers, they are pretty cheap even for OEM.

A lot of people have expensive 3rd party docks, stereos, clocks, etc that they dock them in, expecting to be able to use them as they charge overnight.

I don't think a B&W component is like your $2 wall wart.

I had this problem when I replaced my original, first gen iPod touch with a new one. Turns out the wall charger for the original one won't work with the newer models. Really pissed me off that after buying a new iPod I then had to also replace my charger kit (the one with all the international plugs).

That isn't the problem - the problem is that Touches are charging with the Zeppelin then they aren't. If you google it you'll find a few other cases all from the last few days.

There's no reports of other ipods being affected and there's been no upgrades of Zeppelin or Touch software recently so that only leaves Apps.

Has anyone reset their Touch and tried it before syncing?

Edit - worked when I reset it and re-synced. Now all I've got to do is sort out the Apps again as I've lost the structure I had

Occasionally, an iPod might claim that charging is not supported but will charge anyway. Best not to do anything drastic too soon and just give it a moment.
