The new iPhone only accepts charging via the USB pins.</p> <p>Try an accessory like this:</p> <p><a href="http://www.cablejive.com/iphone_3g_charge_converter.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.cablejive.com/iphone_3g_charge_converter.html</a></p> <p>Here is some good reading too</p> <p><a href="http://www.informationweek.com/news/personal_tech/iphone/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=209000104" rel="nofollow">http://www.informationweek.com/news/personal_tech/iphone/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=209000104</a></p> http://iphone.stackexchange.com/questions/53/my-new-iphone-3gs-wont-charge-with-my-old-accessories My new iPhone 3GS won't charge with my old accessories! alex 2009-11-15T23:22:45Z 2009-11-15T23:24:48Z <p>I have a new iPhone that won't charge using old accessories that used to charge the phone.</p> <p>Any ideas to fix this?</p> http://iphone.stackexchange.com/questions/51/getting-the-iphone-to-not-show-annoying-incompatible-messages-when-it-is-not Getting the iPhone to not show annoying 'incompatible' messages when it is not alex 2009-11-15T07:57:01Z 2009-11-15T07:57:01Z <p>I recently installed a head unit in my car that allows me to connect my iPhone and listen to music from that.</p> <p>My problem now however, is that when I connect it, it says something along the lines of</p> <p>'This product is incompatible with your iPhone.

So much I omitted the top and bottom strips.</li> <li>It is really tough and does protect your iPhone</li> <li>From being in my pocket a lot (and perhaps by having an iPhone with a white backing), the sides of the clear shield picked up a lot of gunk and made a brown line around the edges.</li> <li>The back piece ended up peeling off. So I ripped it off.</li> <li>After a month or so, the front once peeled off and got stuck to itself, so I ripped it off too.</li> </ul> <p>Keep in mind my iPhone goes <strong>everywhere</strong> with me, but I do treat it with respect.</p> http://iphone.stackexchange.com/questions/8/how-do-i-remove-the-scratches-from-the-back-of-my-iphone/33#33 Answer by alex for How do I remove the scratches from the back of my iPhone? alex 2009-10-27T05:27:53Z 2009-10-27T05:27:53Z <p>I'm not sure about cleaning, but have you considered purchasing perhaps a broken iPhone off ebay and replacing your back cover with it? Obviously you'll need to ensure the donor case is of a good quality.</p> <p>I'm not sure how much a broken iPhone goes for, but I would imagine not terribly much.</p> http://iphone.stackexchange.com/questions/1/what-case-do-you-use-for-your-iphone-ipod/7#7 Answer by alex for What case do you use for your iPhone/iPod? alex 2009-10-03T22:22:19Z 2009-10-03T22:22:19Z <p>I've got a silicone case, except I find when I place the iPhone in my pocket, it is difficult to remove because the case is very <strong>grabby</strong>. It doesn't like to slide against material - it seems to generate a lot of friction.</p> <p>I have ordered a leather case that my entire iPhone will slide into.</p> http://iphone.stackexchange.com/questions/79/iphone-or-blackberry/80#80 Comment by alex alex 2010-01-05T05:18:19Z 2010-01-05T05:18:19Z +1 , great answer! http://iphone.stackexchange.com/questions/84/i-synched-to-another-computer Comment by alex alex 2010-01-05T05:16:14Z 2010-01-05T05:16:14Z There is no <b>h</b> in sync http://iphone.stackexchange.com/questions/56/use-speaker-phone-while-accessing-voicemail-on-the-iphone/57#57 Comment by alex alex 2009-11-18T07:57:24Z 2009-11-18T07:57:24Z Ah my one doesn't look like that.
