"Cannot play video - The Connected display is not supported" error message using Netflix 5.0.2 on my iPad

I'm running iOS 7.0.3 on my iPhone 4S and iPad (3rd gen) and have just upgraded to the current version of the Neflix app available in the Canadian App Store (5.0.2).
Although all other apps I've tried (e.g. Podcast, VLC) are able to properly output video & audio directly to my TV using the HDMI adapter (i.e. NOT via an Apple TV), the Netflix app pops up the error message "Cannot play video - The connected display is not supported". If I start a video and then plug the HDMI cable in, it will play for a few seconds and then halt with the same error message.
Netflix & Apple were supposed to have been working together to fix the previous issue with this scenario which was causing audio to be output but no video. The current Netflix app update was released yesterday and seems to have taken a step backward.
When I contacted Netflix support, they indicated that they have done whatever can be done from their side and this is now Apple's issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hello all,
I have an iPad 2 16GB with iOS 7.0.3 and Netflix version 5.0.2. I cannot watch netflix on an External LCD monitor that I have through VGA out. I use bluetooth speakers, so the AirPlay is going to that for Audio. Before this update, this combo worked without an issue.
So as of Friday Nov. 8/2013, I contacted Netflix support, and they said they fixed the problem on their end, and the fix is on the Apple side of things, and to contact Apple support.
So, I contacted Apple support, and the first person I spoke to said I would have to agree to pay a $35 fee for 30 days of support to this problem since my unit is out of warranty. I said this isn't a hardware issue, it's a software issue, and I'm not willing to pay to fix a problem you created. So I got a Senior Level advisor on the line, and she was helpful, and she's looking into the issue for me and said she'll contact me sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday (Nov. 12 or 13) to let me know of the issue.
Here's the thing: this is a combination of Netflix and iOS not working correctly with any of the Apple Authorized Dongles. This is truly a code error that some hot shot programmer had major oversight on, and their management didn't catch it either. There was no reason for Netflix to rush to get this Netflix update going until Apple sorted out the bugs in iOS 7.
Anyway, if I hear anything from Donna (the advisor), I'll post it and let you guys know. In the mean time, good luck!

TS5148 When I try to play a movie on Netflix from my IPad, I get a pop up saying: Cannot play video. "The connected display is not supported".

When I try to play a movie on Netflix from my IPad, I get a pop up saying: Cannot play video. "The connected display is not supported". I have updated my Apple TV, tried restarting it, and have tried using my IPod Touch all without any luck. This display has worked in the past. This just happen a couple days ago.
Any ideas out there?

I have been successfully using my Apple TV with my iPad2 to access Netflix through airplay (mirroring) and suddenly it won't work. It says "the connected display is not supported" What's up?
Also when I try to stream Netflix through my Apple TV menu on my television it says "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later. But trying again later doesn't work any better.
Now the only way I can watch Netflix is using my small iPad screen. It appears the problem is with streaming Netflix through my Apple TV

AFP fails to connect to a PC volume and gives a "version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported" error message.

AFP fails to connect to a PC volume and gives a "version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported" error message.
Has anybody come across this error and found a fool-proof solution? I have found some stuff on the web but nothing seems to work. In particular this one on the Apple Help doesn't:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4700
I have a W2K3 server where the volume is. It's a new Mac with OSX 10.8 and is connecting with AFP (I don’t want to move to SMB yet). There are older Macs with lower OS and all of them work fine. I have checked all the basic stuff and it is set-up correctly (hosts file on Mac, network, etc.).
Any help greatly appreciated,
Cheers,
Ian

IPad 2 to Apple TV: Cannot Play Movie - The Connected Device is not authorized to play protected movies.

I am getting the 'Connected Device is not authorized to play protected movies' message.
Here is my setup:
From the iPad 2 I used iTunes to Rent a movie - Safe House in SD.
I then used Airplay Mirroring to send the movie to my Apple TV.
The Apple TV is connected to a Vizio V0370M HDTV.
According to Vizio all of the HDMI ports have HDCP.
When the movie starts I get this error message on the iPad.
I have used this approach in the past with success.
I rented a couple of episodes of HBO's True Blood and they played just fine on the Vizio through Apple TV.
I believe some were in HD and some SD.
Using the iPad with Airplay Mirroring is a very nice way to send content to the HDTV.
I was hoping I'd be able to do this for anything that is on the iPad.
Is there something wrong with my configuration? Or what I'm trying to do?
Thanks for any help or advice!

I had exact same problem and I have found a way to get round out!!!! Easy!
So the reason it doesn't allow it to play is for security to stop piracy etc.
Plug in the cable and VGA and aux cable and get everything set up so you are looking at the home screen.
1) select Videos
2) selected the film you want to watch
3) click the little play button
4) it will then come up with the message saying it can't play protected films blah blah blah
5) WITHOUT clicking ok double tap the home button to bring up the multitasking bar and swipe left to reveal the control panel
6) hold fast forward for a second or two and the movie with continue to play!
Stay in the multi tasking bar with the control panel, The message will stay there but don't worry. Kick back and enjoy your iPad movie on the big screen:)
I'm sure your saying thanks:) it was my pleasure realising I've outsmarted apples little security protection thing lol

All of sudden apple tv will not play my tv shows/movies on itunes. It says "The connected display is not authorized to play protected movies.
Can anyone help I have just bought alot of movies and tv shows and want to watch them with my family not just on my ipad!!!
Not sure why this has just started happening. have been using apple tv with my ipad for months and now it comes up with this error...
THanks

Firstly restart the AppleTV, secondly check the HDMI lead and if possible swap for another or another HDMI input - sounds as though AppleTV thinks the TV is not HDCP capable.

Message Format Not Supported - error message

If I receive an MMS message when connected to my Mercedes SAP module I receive a "Not text" SMS message on the car system. When I disconnect from the car I have a txt message stored on my SIM that looks as if it should redirect me to the Orange website to collect my MMS.
The problem is I have to copy the message to the phone memory to read it and when I try to read it I get the "Message Format Not Supported" error message.
Does anyone know how to correct this I don't want to loose any MMS received whilst driving!!

My iPad camera connection kit says "Cannot Use Device. The connected device is not supported."

This error displays on every single SD card I connect and none of them work. This has worked fine for months now, but until a few days ago, it has stopped working. I believe it could have been a recent update but I am not sure. I need to import images from my camera but I do not have the USB Camera Connector.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I'd check your HDMI cable is seated correctly at each end to begin with, pull it out and put it in again, if that doesn't help...
Please tell us how are you trying to play video from the iPad, is it via AirPlay or are you using the iPad to control the Apple TV and at what point is the message displayed.

Facebook photo albums display fine but when I click on an individual picture in the album only the caption displays. (does not happen when I use AOL as my browser)

In Facebook, when I click on any individual photo it will not display. Everything, including the caption, displays fine but not the picture itself. If I use AOL as my browser this does not happen, only on Firefox.

Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions - See [[Options window - Content panel]]
A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (Site Identification icon) on the left side of the location bar. 
A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info"). 
Open the Media tab of the "Page Info" window. 
Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key. 
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

"The connected device is not supported." Is there a workaround?

I am trying to connect an old Lumix point-and-shoot to my iPhone to grab some photos. I get an error message saying that the device is not supported. Ok, I get that, it's an ooooold camera. So then I removed the micro card and stuck it in my micromate adapter that I plugged into my usb-lightening adapter that plugs into my iPhone...and nothing. How do I transfer what is on the card to my phone?

The error message for the card adapter says that the "connected device requires too much power."

I cannot calibrate my Apple Cinema Display without getting an error message. I've done it many times before.

I have a 23" Apple Cinema Display and a MacPro running Snow Leopard. Using the built in calibration system I have calibrated the display several times in the past, but now I get an error message: The new calibrated display profile could not be created or set to be the current profile for this display." I have no applications open when I do the calibrating.

Launch the Terminal application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. If that doesn’t work, then in the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
Drag or copy – do not type – the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
ls -Odel Library/ColorSync/Profiles

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 classroom in a book lesson files "file format not supported" error message

Hey y'all. I have the creative Suite cloud membership and am learning Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and have the latest update. I have an iMac, version 10.8.2 and have been going through the lessons 1-8 so far from the 'Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Classroom in a book' with no problems. So far so good. Then, when I opened Lesson 9 project today, I realized that certain media was off line (see pic below-videos and maps) even though I had been able to open the project. I tried to see if it was a link issue but was unable to select the 'Link Media' option and the system did not give me the option to link media when opening a new project. The strange thing is that I am now able to open some lessons with everything working fine but when I try to open other lessons such as lesson 9 or 10 or 11 I notice media files offline after getting the "file format not supported" pop-up error message when attempting to open a project. It's random as some lessons I had opened previously now give this error message of file format not supported when they didn't in the past whilst others work. I have deleted all the lesson files from my hard drive and reinstalled them from the cd onto my hardrive but the issue persists. Any idea as to why all of a sudden Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 is giving the error message "File format not supported"??? when opening the lessons. I have not changed any preferences. I've included some screenshots though I don't know how much help they will be... Is anyone else running into this issue??? Can anyone help???
NEVERMIND. I FOUND OUT ON MY OWN WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND IS NOW FIXED. YAY!

Why were you trying to link a file in the project to the project file itself? Shouldn't it be a video file or something? Like .mov .wav .avi .mp4 and not .prproj

Another Premiere Elements 10 " processor is not supported" error message

I have the combination DVD, with Photoshop & Premiere Elements 10 bought just a few months ago. It came bundled with a digital camera.
Elements 10 will not instal because "the processor is not supported with this package"
My PC has a Pentium 4, 3Ghz proc, 2Gb ram and runs XP Pro SP3. which as far as I can tell meets the requirements. Idid see that a dual core Proc. is required to edit HD and AVH?? but my interst is only still in DV and I've assumed that the dual core is not therefore required.
I spent hours researching the problem yesterday and saw a solution to " follow PE 11 trial download route and choose PS 10" but no such option exists now. (presumably to get a version that would get around this)
Is there a solution to this please ?

A Pentium 4 is definitely able to run the program, box. It's just not going to run it very well -- particularly if you've only got 2 gigs of RAM and a video card with less than 1 gig of memory. You may be able to get by if your processor is a Hyper Threading Pentium.
You also should have 100 or so gigs of free space on your hard drive. (The best rule of thumb is to take Adobe's recommended minimums and double them -- and that's the MINIMUM power you should have.)
So I'm not sure why you're getting that message.
Have you manually gone to Windows Update and downloaded all of the non-critical updates? They often include important drivers and patches that don't download automatically.
If downloading those updates don't do it, I'd recommend you contact Adobe Tech Support.

Samsung LCD TV "Format not supported" error message?

I have been using my Samsung LCD TV Model number LC320SS9-A for years via a HMDI cable. As of a couple of weeks ago I now get the follow error message, "Format not supported" on the TV. Running 10.8.2 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 with 4GB DDR3 memory. I know this is really a Samsung issue but I am wondering if anyone else is getting this new message.
