Error message: this computer is not supported by the system recovery media.
I replaced a bad samasung hard drive in my Pavilion dv6z 3200 with a Seagate Momentus XT 750 GB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 32 MB Cache 2.5 Inch Solid State Hybrid Drive ST750LX003 and when trying to restore Windows 7 64 bit OS get the error message "this computer is not supported by the system recovery media"
Is the new hdd at least as large a capacity as the original? Can be larger capacity, but sometimes smaller will cause error.
Enter BIOS by tapping F10 key. Is all system info intact/complete?
******Clicking the Thumbs-Up button is a way to say -Thanks!.******

MACBOOK Pro 13-inch Mid 2012
2.9GHz Intel Core i7
8GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 40000 512 MB
Mac OS X Lion 10..5 (11G63)
Model Identifier: MacBookPro9,2
Boot ROM Version: MBP91.00D3.B08
SMC Version (system): 2.2f44
Passed Last Power on Self-Test
The MacBook EFI Updater File that I downloaded from the Apple website for Support:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237
--> shows my Model McBookPro 9,2 as needing
EFI Boot ROM version MBP91.00D3.B08 (EFI 2.9) (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1593)
SMC version 2.2f44 (SMC 1.8) (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1633)
I downloaded and tried to run both the files
MacBookProEFIUpdate2.9.dmg 9/19/12
AND
MacBookProSMCUpdate.pkg
as offered on this matrix, which instructs:
"This article lists firmware updates that were released for Intel-based Macs. They update the firmware that originally shipped from the factory. If your computer does not appear on this list, an update from the factory firmware is not necessary.
If you are unsure whether your computer needs a particular update, simply download and open the update installer. The installer will alert you if the firmware update is already installed or not needed."
and instead of a message telling me of the proper update
"This software is not supported on your system."
So, why would the manual updater not tell me I already have the proper SMC and EFI updates?
What is the reason I get the message that the software I downloaded from Apple Support is not supported on my system?
Is this indicative of a larger problem with my MACBOOK PRO?[email protected],
why were you trying to reïnstall the Boot ROM and SMC versions that were already installed on your MacBook Pro?
I agree that a “not supported” message is certainly less clear than an “already installed” message would have been. -

I have just purchased a lightning to 30 pin adaptor to use on an iPad mini and a gen5 iPod touch both devices are running iOS 8.1.3 and come up with The error message "this accessory is not supported by this device "
THis is means they are not charging on a 30 pin cable and the touch won't work in my Apple iPod dock - no audio out or charge. Have re powered both devices to no avail am wondering if the iOS version is the problem
Help!If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview
Is this what you bought?
You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be. -
i have a problem with installing PS13 as I get an error message "This installer does not support installation on a 64-Bit Windows operating system. Please download the 64-Bit version of Photoshop Elements." how do i do this
Try downloading the trial. It ought to detect that you have a 64-bit system.
You aren't using Vista, are you? PSE 13 requires at least win 7 and I think a few folks with vista have gotten a similar error message on trying to install it. -

I want update firmware 2.9 but apear this message "This software is not supported on your system."
hi

but when install the last update MacBookProEFIUpdate2.9 i got error like this
"This software is not supported on your system."
please help me thanksOK, so the firmware is the same as mine, and yet Apple Support offered this EFI and SMC update packages, which should give a message that our computers are updated.
However, the update packages fail to run.
Did Apple neglect to give the correct update for the mid-2012 issue of MacBook Pro 13-inch? I have the i7 Intel processor, instead of the i5, and I was sold this unit as having two processors, but the System info only lists a single processor.
Is one of the problems with Intel-based MacBook Pro units that the integration wasn't without bugs that cause processor hang when running the OS Lion, even with updates to 10.7.5?
Shouldn't the EFI and SMC updaters run on these machines as stated in the Apple Support article?
What will Apple do for these customers? -
Itunes wont sync error message this computer is not authorized
itunes will not sync my purchased songs to my new ipod touch, i get an error message that says, "some of the songs purchased cannot be transferred, this computer is not authorized, go to store, then authorize this computer." I have done this over and over again, I have even deauthorized and then RE authorized again and again, I still get the same message. Can someone please please please HELP ME?
I have been renting movies on my MBP and a previous MBP for years, and have always been able to transfer the rentals to an iPhone. I always rent on the MBP and not the iPhone. However due to a NEW authorisation problem recently I have not been able to play these movies through the Apple TV (V2) like I have been doing. Others on the Internet have also started having this problem. I have to resort to airplaying the movie from the MBP over to the Apple TV, which is a royal pain. What's the point of having all this gear in the family room when I have to get up and go to the office and start the movie playing from there?! Anyway, also recently I have not been able to move rented movies to the iPhone. I have tried recursively chmodding the Shared folder as described here
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1277
and it didn't help.
So now, if we go on a long road trip or flight, we can't bring the rented movies on an iPhone/iPad. This is a big problem. No I am not going to bring the laptop on the trip. The iTunes library is on an external disk on the LAN anyway.
Re the country comments, I'm in Canada. -
ITunes error message - "video format is not supported by the iPad" My video is mp4, mpeg-4.
When syncing my iPad 2.... Why do I get this iTunes error message? "video format is not supported by the iPad"
My video is mp4, another is mpeg-4.
I thought the iPad 2 could play almost any format.Must conform to these specs:
Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
Or download an alternate video player,such as avplayerhd. -
Why do I get this error message "This volume does not support permanent version storage."
I get this error message when I save a "pages 09" document edited on my macbook pro but saved to my mac mini (over a wifi network). All my Macs are running 10.9.3. My Mac mini is using time machine to back up to a separate hard drive (USB 3 connection). I Tried using Page 5.2 but it is a disaster over my network, slow, crashes, creates random folders....
According to Apple network volumes do not support built in 'versions'…
OS X Server: "The document 'file name' is on a volume that does not support permanent version storage" alert
If in doubt Google the error text with any personal info removed.
Work on it locally & copy it to the network daily if you need versions, otherwise use a real 'version control system' that you have some actual control over like GIT. It is designed for code projects, but you can cram anything in if you really want.
http://www.git-scm.com
I suspect Apples file format will make it miserable with Pages, but there are some great Mac GIT apps.
Using Time Machine would be probably be suffice (run it on the Mac you use as the server & then restore versions on that Mac). -
Ipod is 80G Classic and displaying no other unusal or faulty behaviour. In the couple of days between the dock working fine and the error message appearing, there were no software updates. The ipod is actually a couple of years older than the dock- what's going on?
So the iPod worked previously on this particular dock? Does Altec's support website state that it supports your particular model iPod Classic?
Have you tried a hard reset of the device with it still connected to the dock? To do this, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
It wouldn't hurt to also check the dock connector on the iPod for any signs of debrisa and bent or corroded pins that could be blocking the connection between the dock and iPod.

Problem with ichat, error message says computer does not support video chat
I have never had a problem with Ichat until yesterday...now apparently I don't have the video capability. I am running 10.7.2. I turned off Facetime. I now have the video camera image but it won't let me video chat. Any ideas?
Hi,
In iChat open the Connection Doctor (Video menu) and the the Capabilities option
Are all items showing Green ?
Try restarting iChat (It re-reads the computers Ability at each launch)
If that does not work try restarting the Computer.
Make sure that in iChat menu > Preference > Video Section the Bandwidth Limit is not set to 100kbps (this is too Low for 1-1 video chats)
Do a Speed test
"Real World" speeds need at least 256kbps both up and down.
Check the System Profiler is "seeing" the camera.
It will be in Hardware > USB

I have looked extensively online but can't find an answer yet.
I also tried playing the HD movie in VCL Media Player. I select the movie in finder, right-click to Open With VCL. Window opens with Library menu on left and first item in the menu is Playlist. HD movie is listed in the playlist. I select Play and counter at bottom of window starts counting as if movie is playing but nothing else happens.
Help greatly appreciated.Tried some more movies in my library and it seems that all movies purchased in the iTunes Stores UK with my iTunes UK account wont play in Quicktime (or VCL media player). These movies will play in itunes.
This is cleary a DRM issue but don't I have the same legal rights to play my movies regardless of which iTunes store I purchased from? -
I just bought an Apple Lighting to USB Camera Adapter. When I got home to and connected it to my Canon Rebel EOS Digital Camera. I received the error message "This device is not supported" I was wondering if there is any software or drivers I need to download?
Thanks
DonI use Canon Cameras and have no problems downloading photos from the camera to the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter. My questions and suggestions might be basic but just to make sure:
1. This is an iPad forum area. Are you using the lightning to USB camera adapter with an iPad? Your info in your original post says iPod. I'm not sure that the adapter works with an iPod.
2. After you connect the adapter to your iPad and then use a USB cable to connect the adapter to the camera did you turn on the camera?
3. If you did turn on the camera and still did not get the import of photos to start try a reset your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. This will not cause any data loss.
