MAC OS 10.5.8 - hp software not supported
my mac os is 10.5.8 - I need to install hp officejet pro 8610 printer software but my os is not supported? suggestions?
Hi @pres10
I understand you have 10.5 and are trying to use the Officejet 8610 . The only suggestion I can make will not likely be ideal, but you could email anything you want to print from the computer to the printer.
Each HP ePrint-enabled printer, such as the 8610, has its own unique email address. After you enable HP ePrint on your HP ePrint-enabled printer, you can print from your mobile or network-connected device by sending an email to your HP printer's email address. With HP ePrint, you can print from anywhere, at any time. If you can send an email, you can use HP ePrint.
This blurb, and more information, can be found in the following HP Document, ePrint Product Specifications.
As mentioned. This is likely not ideal, it really depends on how much printing you plan to do. If this is practical for you as a work around then mission accomplished, we found a solution, if not.... The only other options would be to consider taking the printer back and getting a different model that is compatible with 10.5, or upgrading the OS if that Mac can allow for an upgrade to 10.6.
I know you'd rather not upgrade, but you might consider treating yourself, there are some nice new shiny Macs available.
What ever you decide, if you would like additional assistance, feel free to post back as I am happy to help.
I hope my recommendations resolve your inquiry.

10.8.4 is throwing an error with this software: "Airport Utility cannot be installed on this disk. The version of Mac OS X on this volume is not supported"
You are trying to install a version of Airport Utility earlier than 6.0, correct? If so see the following: Installing the Old AirPort Utility (Version 5.6) on Mountain Lion | frank.is.

This meassage I've got after trying to install the software:AirPort Utility can't be installed on this disk. The version of Mac OS X on this volume is not supported.
Please, advise.What version of AirPort Utility are you attempting to install, and which AirPort Base Station model do you have? Look on its case for a four digit model number preceded by the letter A.

While I tried to open I-photos on my mac it says " can't open application not supported by this mac"?
Restart the computer in safe mode. Certain caches maintained by the system will be rebuilt.
Safe mode is much slower to start up than normal.
When the login screen appears, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and test. There's no need to log in while in safe mode.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions. -
Veriface software not supported in g480
veriface software not supported in g480.
Sorry, I'm not really sure as to exactly which model
I have. It's an iMac, 20-inch: 2GHz Intel Core Duo,
if that helps.
Yeah, that's what we need, that is the model. How much ram did you get? It could be that Diablo takes a lot of ram and you didn't get enough.
My guess, though, is that it's a PowerPC version and not Universal.
FYI, with the new Intel chips Apple moved to a new operating system and not all software has caught up to it yet. The Mac has something called Rosetta that allows you to run pre-Intel apps, called PowerPC. The Intel versions are called Universal and have a yin/yang symbol in 2 shades of blue.
Rosetta is an emulator, which means you are basically running an application inside another application. This is never perfect and causes slowdowns other problems especially with hi tech games. It could be a fundamental conflict that you can't resolve until Diablo comes out with a Universal version.
You can try searching their web site to see if you can download such a version or find out when they will have one. Or do web searches on Diablo for Mac Universal and see if you can find any info.

I have a new airbook, 10.7.4 LION, thunderbolt ethernet adapter and when trying to install 1.2.1 thunderbolt upgrade it says "this software not supported on this system"? Any advice on how to get the adapter to work?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you purchased the computer before 2010, your computer hasn't got Thunderbolt, so you can't use it -
I have a older Airport Express unit that requires Airport Utility 5.6. When I try to install 5.8 on my OS X10.8 iMac, I get the message "Airport Utility can't be installed on this disk. The version of Mac OS X on this volume in not Supported"
Why should I have to spend money to solve this problem? Many others have the same concern, Airport Utility 6 does not support older Airport Express units. This is Apple's problem. I've tried many solutions proposed on the net but none worked. I'm still trying for a work around.

AirPort can"t be installed on this disk. The version of Mac OS X on this volume is not supported. Can anyone help me out?
Can you clarify what exactly you are trying to do that generates this message?
IF....you might be trying to install AirPort Utility on your Mac....you already have the most recent version on your Mac.....and you cannot install an earlier version than you already have.
Check Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility -

Hello! This is my first time posting on here so please bare with me! I just bought myself a new Macintosh OSX computer, as to which I am very unfamiliar with. I know and have used Microsoft Windows in the past, but this is confusing me...
I purchased a computer game for my new high-tech PC, and I'm encountering some problems. On the game box, it says it's compatible with Macintosh computers, however, when I insert the disc into my computer and hit "install", a message pops up saying "You cannot open the application because it is not supported on this system."
To me it sounds like it isn't going to work, but I know it should. Anyone have any ideas I can try?
Thanks for your help!Sorry, I'm not really sure as to exactly which model
I have. It's an iMac, 20-inch: 2GHz Intel Core Duo,
if that helps.

Mac mini server suddenly says 'server version not supported'
Just bought a mac mini server with Lion Server installed a couple of days ago and it has suddenly declared that the server version is not supported and will not allow me to re access the server from the Server App. I don't have any data that I need to recover as I am still experimenting with the set up. Is there away to reset this or do I have to do a clean install? Please advise if you can?
Exact same issue here....
mac Mini 2011 model.
came with Lion installed on it.
downloaded Server from the app store. installed and worked great.
updated the "server" to 10.7.1.
then i decided to delete the server.
now, when i try to re-install, it says server is not support.
its because the OS X client is now at 10.7.1 and the server install is looking for 10.7.0
i think i am going to have to re-install Lion client and try again. -
I bought elements 13 online. I was able to download it but not open it. I looked for a mac version before I bought and did not see one. Did I buy the wrong version?
Amyrice did you purchase Photoshop Elements 13 from Adobe directly? If so then you may have a multi platform license.

My Mac Air is not supported by the mirroring application to Apple TV. Is there a way to upgrade the Mac Air so it does work ?
About AirPlay and Airplay Mirroring
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). For non-qualifying Macs you can try using Air Parrot.

Trying to download McAfee Software, Not supported???
McAfee found that your Operating System is a Unsupported Operating System You are attempting to download an Ubuntu Linux application to an operating system other than Ubuntu Linux. To download this product, you must download from a computer using the Ubuntu Linux operating system. Why?
OS X versions 10.6.7 and later have built-in detection of known Mac malware in downloaded files. The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. In most cases, there’s no benefit from any other automated protection against malware.
The most effective defense against malware is your own intelligence. All known malware on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of trojans, which can only work if the victim is duped into running them. If you're smarter than the malware attacker thinks you are, you won't be duped. That means, primarily, that you never install software from an untrustworthy source. How do you know a source is untrustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown site, merely in order to use the site, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim.
“Cracked” copies of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
Disable Java (not JavaScript) in your web browser(s). Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This setting is mandatory in OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, because Java in those versions has bugs that make it unsafe to use on the Internet. Those bugs will probably never be fixed, because those older operating systems are no longer being maintained by Apple. Upgrade to a newer version of OS X as soon as you can.
Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
Never install any commercial "anti-virus" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav — nothing else. -
CS4 and Mac Pro with two graphic cards: OpenGL not supported!
I have two graphic cards in my Mac Pro. If a use a dual display setup where both displays are connected to the same card, Photoshop enables OpenGL support (Preferences > Performance).
Switch both displays to the other card, also works fine.
BUT if I connect one display to the first card and the second display to the second card (so each display has its own graphic card) the Open GL support is greyed out (I can not longer use canvas display rotation for example)
This doesn't make sense to me and looks like a bug...Are you running two of the same cards or are they different? I'm running a pair of NVidia 7300GTs with no issues...and I'm driving a pair of 30" Cinemas and an NEC 26" widescreen. I get better performance on the single 30" than on the card with the two displays. Also note that which PCI slot you are driving the cards in has an impact on their performance...something to look into.
Maybe you are looking for
