Not Supported Mode

I have a 42" Samsung Digital Plasma HDTV. From time to time while watching Verizon FIOS TV my TV will switch from a picture to a message on the screen that states "NOT SUPPORT MODE" or I will turn the TV on and it gives me the same message. I have called Verizon support and was told to try new compenent cables. I have done some research and it appears that Samsung TV's and Verizon have issues. I can make the issue go away for a few weeks if I go into my DVR and reset the picture to streched mode. I should not have to do any of this and Verizon is not helping much nor is Samsung. Does anyone have an idea what can be done or has anybody had this problem before.

Hello Nbeo2v6,
Welcome to the Verizon Residential forums. You might fnd some ideas here on how others have fixed the problem with their own Samsung HDTV's. If none of the suggestions work for you, you can PM one of the employees (their forum names are blue ) for further assistance.

Apple TV in "Not supported mode" on Samsung HLN467 TV

I just got an Apple TV and I can't get it to show a picture on my (3-1/2 yr old) Samsung HLN467 DLP-type TV.
The Apple TV is connected via Component video cables. I have tried Component 2 and 3 inputs on the TV, same result: "not supported mode" is all that shows up on the screen.
This is typically what happens where there is a mis-match between output and input; the component channels on the TV say they can accept either 480p, 720p, or 1080i. I understand the Apple TV box is 720p, so I don't understand the mismatch.
If there is something I'm supposed to be able to set in the Apple TV, I can't, because I can't see it.
And I'm pretty sure the TV itself figures out what the input is from those component channels; I don't see anything in the menus that would let me change any settings.
Anybody got any ideas?
--PS

Well, it worked fine through the HDMI output. The Samsung doesn't even have HDMI -- it's almost 4 years old! -- only DVI, but I'm connected to that input through an HDMI/DVI adapter. I had my TiVo Series 3 connected through the HDMI/DVI input, and I didn't want to switch that to the component input, but once I made the switch I didn't notice enough of a difference (like none) to switch back, so that's my work around.
It's working, now I have to see how I can use the Apple TV. Still have to sell my wife on it....

HT1551 the apple tv seems to be on and is plugged into the tv with an hdmi cable and the hdmi port is selected, but the tv is flashing that this is "not supported mode" even though this samsung tv has two hdmi ports

I have my new apple tv connected to my tv with an hdmi cable, but nothing appearing on the screen. any suggestions?

I just fixed mine by following the steps in this article http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/archives/aug14/080814.html
Basically, turn off file sharing, remote sharing etc... in apple preferences and it worked. Apple support didnt help and told me to take back the device ! I initially restarted, rebooted,reset apple tv, updated, unplugged everything including the router- unchecking the sharing boxes in preferences is the only thing that worked.

RV042 - Does it support Mode Config?

Hello,
I have a question regarding the RV042 and its IP-Sec capabilities.
Does it support "Mode Config", an IP-Sec extension.
If yes, is it documented somewhere?
Regards,
Daniel

No, the rv042 does not support mode config. That is for the cisco enterprise edition routers, with the command line configuration.

MacBook Mini-DVI to VGA - Samsung 32" LCD - Mode Not Supported

I followed the instructions on Apple's site to use the MacBook with the lid closed and an external LCD. It worked perfectly the first time I tried it. (I believe in 1920 x 1024). It seemed a little hard to read so I changed the Display resolution, then encountered the "Mode Not Supported" on my LCD. I unhooked and used my MacBook to change the settings back, but the MacBook seems to revert to the "Mode Not Supported" resolution when I close the lid. Any suggestions? Can I reset the Display Preferences on my MacBook?

I think this procedure should work, but it requires an external USB keyboard.
- Shut down the Mac.
- Have all the following connected:
- MacBook power supply
- External display
- USB keyboard and mouse
- Open the lid on the MacBook and hit the power button.
- Immediately close the lid on the MacBook and start holding down the Shift key on the USB keyboard.
- Release the Shift key once you see the spinning gear on the gray screen on the external display.
The above procedure should cause the Mac to start in Safe mode and hopefully will finish booting into a useable screen. If that is the case, go into Displays preferences and select a known working resolution different from the one the Mac started up in under Safe mode. Now restart normally. Hopefully the newly selected resolution will persist through the normal restart and you will have a working external screen again.

Master Data loading got failed: error "Update mode R is not supported by th

Hello Experts,
I use to load master data for 0Customer_Attr though daily process chain, it was running successfully.
For last 2 days master data loading for 0Customer_Attr got failed and it gives following error message:
"Update mode R is not supported by the extraction API"
Can anyone tell me what is that error for? how to resolve this issue?
Regards,
Nirav

Hi
Update mode R error will come in the below case
You are running a delta (for master data) which afils due to some error. to resolve that error, you make the load red and try to repeat the load.
This time the load will fail with update mode R.
As repeat delta is not supported.
So, now, the only thing you can do is to reinit the delta(as told in above posts) and then you can proceed. The earlier problem has nothing to do with update mode R.
example your fiorst delta failed with replication issue.
only replicating and repeaing will not solve the update mode R.
you will have to do both replication of the data source and re-int for the update mode R.
One more thing I would like to add is.
If the the delat which failed with error the first time(not update mode R), then
you have to do init with data transfer
if it failed without picking any records,
then do init without data transfer.
Hope this helps
Regards
Shilpa

ERROR: Update mode C is not supported by the extraction API - R3 11

Hi gurus,
I just tryed to implement the solution I found at this link:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d3219af2-0c01-0010-71ac-dbb4356cf4bf
The data source is based on an Infoset on the KONV R/3 Table.
I setted the AIM delta process and I did all the activities as written in the document.
The process works if I load data to bw in "full", with "Init without data transfer" and "delta" mode. Of course if I change a Purchase document, it will be posted in the delta queue and then loaded to bw with the next delta load.
The "initialize delta process" (with data) doesen't work and returns the following error:
Update mode C is not supported by the extraction API
the error code is R3 11.
have you any idea about it???
Thanks!!!
Regards!
Matteo

Hi,
for me it sounds quite simple. It is that the update mode 'C' get flagged as 'not allowed' for this extractor. Did you check with rsa3? I guess you will get the same error message. May be you can start debugging in rsa3 to find the place where the update mode gets checked.
Anyway, it shouldn't be a issue as you have a workaround. May be you should raise a error message at sap because of this.

Mid 2010 Macbook Pro to a Samsung Tv. (Mode not supported)

Hi, I have a macbook pro mid 2010, when connected to an external tv, i get the mirroring option, however when i uncheck the mirroring option (cause i need 2 desktops screen instead of one), my external monitor shows " Mode not supported ". I have a samsung LCD TV. It works perfectly with mirroring option, but I don't want a mirroring option..... Can anyone help?

I have a MacBook Pro 15 inch early 2011.
The new features available in OS X Yosemite like Continuity, Handoff,etc are not supported in this model.
I did upgrade RAM to avoid any possible slowdown.
I found replacing the HD with SSD is too expensive for a 4 years old model.
Replacing the CPU/GPU is not for amateurs.
If you think that rebuilding a Mac part by part is a viable option, please go ahead and rebuild it.
Best.

Mac mini on a LCD TV which does not support interlace mode

Dear all,
I am going to buy a new Mac mini and I wish to connect it to a Samsung LCD TV 37A656A1F (serie 6.
The TV manual says that it does not support the interlace mode. I then deduce that it supports progressive mode only.
My question: Does it mean that this LCD TV model cannot be used as a monitor for a Mac mini?
Please give a help to me

All computer monitors are progressive mode displays. Therefore all computers, including the mini, are very comfortable running progressive mode. It is their natural state. It is more a problem when a computer has to run interlace mode in order to support a display. That is when there is trouble. So I think you have nothing to worry about if your Samsung runs in progressive mode.

Monitor says VIDEO MODE NOT SUPPORTED after changing display settings

HELP! I am about to have a nervous breakdown with my mac mini! I hooked up the mac to my Philips LCD via DVI. No problem at all. But because the screen is only 15" I wanted to play around with the display settings a bit. So I changed the resolution from it's original 1204x768 to the one higher (not sure of numbers) and to my HORROR, I now can't get any picture at all - it says "VIDEO MODE NOT SUPPORTED". I have tried everything I can think of. I have rest the P-RAM, I have unplugged all cables, plugged the back in again, I bought the mac into work and hooked it up to my monitor and changed the resolution back to 1024x768 which is what it was on originally and that STILL didn't work. I can see the Apple logo and then it goes black and comes up with the error message. HELP! What am I doing wrong - I can't believe one click of a mouse button has rendered my display useless!!!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try booting the mini without the display connected, and then, once the system is running, connect the display. This will often force the system to default to a low resolution, and then correctly detect the display when it is connected.
If that doesn't help, with the display connected, boot into safe mode (hold the shift key down when starting up) and once the system is running, change the resolution to 1024x768, and ensure the correct refresh rate is selected. Rebooting normally ought then to give you a good display.
If all else fails, boot into safe mode with the display connected, and then in the Finder's file menu, use the 'find' option to search for 'windowserver' (no quotes). You should get 2 or 3 results, including one with a string of alphanumeric characters. Move all of them to the trash and restart normally.

Mac Pro to Samsung HDTV - "Mode not supported"???

Alright, so I have just received my new Mac Pro in the mail yesterday and wanted to hook it up to my television - a 1080p Samsung (Samsung LN-T4671F) HDTV. I am using a DVI-to-VGA cable. I feel I should probably explain the entire situation so that it's all clear.
The first time I started the computer after plugging it into the TV, the Apple logo with the Loading, spinning thing (not the multicolored wheel) showed in beautiful 1920x1080. After loading, the screen jumped to a lower resolution for a second and then went black, finally giving me a "Mode not supported" error. Thinking it was just a little hiccup, I restarted the computer and after the Apple logo screen, it showed me a screen on how to put batteries in my mouse (or something along those lines, I didn't really look), and then it had me set up my wireless keyboard. After this, it showed me the WELCOME video and allowed me to log on to my computer and start using it.
After about 15 minutes, I was going through the system prefs and came across display. Thinking maybe I should lower the resolution to better see text, I clicked on a lower resolution around 1600xsomething. The screen went black and gave me the "Mode not supported" error again. I thought I could just wait a few seconds and if I didn't confirm the resolution, it would go back...but it never did. After trying to restart my computer a number of times and receiving the error message each time, I booted in Safe Mode, which I am in right now.
I went into the sys prefs and made sure the resolution was set to 1920x1080, which it already was, and restarted the computer. Error again. I went into the settings of my TV and went to PC and had it auto correct the resolution to the input. Error again. I have been running in Safe Boot since - no sound is annoying - and enjoying the display in full 1920x1080 (1080p)...so the set obviously supports it (and the manual says it does too).
My video card is an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT. What's most annoying is that it's pretty obvious that the display supports this resolution and yet won't allow it to work outside of Safe Boot mode.
Please help

Had the same problem with an AOC 1080p TV, trying to connect to it using VGA cable.
Ivan's earlier post clued me in to solution:
- Plug in the TV, get the "Mode not supported" message on the TV
- Open the Display Preferences, you should see the display preferences for the laptop "Color LCD" monitor. Click the "Gather Displays" button - this should bring the display preferences for the TV behind the laptop preferences window. Switch to the TV's display preferences window.
- In the TV's display preferences window, switch refresh rate down to 59.9 Hertz (your TV may need different refresh rate, but on mine I only get options for 59.9 or 60).
That did it for me!

Mode not supported

one day mac mini working fine connected to Samsung LCD at all resolutions, next day get mode not supported. called samsung, said to play with the resolution setting, which meant that each time I had to disconnect and connect to my 17in computer monitor tried all resolutions with no luck. At start-up apple screen with spinning wheel show on LCD panel but then as it is about to show desktop I get a black screen with message Mode not supported. Any I ideas, it was working perfectly from the the get go without any adjustment basically plug and play.

Here is the standard Apple article that addresses this type of issue.

When i connect my macbook using the mini hdmi to my HD samsung tv, the response is always "mode not supported". ideas?

I'm using the mini HDMI to connec to a Samsung HDTV. The response is always "Mode Not Supported." Anyone know what to do? Trying to watch TV shows from iTunes on the TV. Thanks, Hugh

Hi Jake,
It's impossible to know without troubleshooting, but it sure sounds like a bad adapter or cable.

"Mode not supported" when connecting MacBook Pro to HDTV

When I connect my MacBook Pro to the SAMSUNG widescreen HDTV and hit "Detect Displays", it does detect it as VGA Display and it gives me a bunch of options for resolutions and refresh rates, but there was no "Options" tab where I could check or uncheck "Overscan" and even keeping the refresh rate at 60 Hz, and even trying mirrored and non-mirrored screens, nothing worked. It still said "Mode not supported". I used a dual-link DVI to YPbPr cable which I just bought and my friend can connect his MacBook Pro to his HDTV with the same cable, but it doesn't seem to work for me. What's wrong?

Try using an app like to get the stranince resolution:

Mini Display- HDMI to a Samsung TV (mode not supported)

HI!
I have a weird problem connecting my 2010 Macbook Pro to a 2010 Samsung LCD TV using a minidisplay-hdmi adaptor. This used to work, and now it doesn't. The TV reports that the mode is not supported. I have tried every single resolution with no success, I have checked with alternate adaptors, alternate HDMI leads and alternate HDMI ports on the TV. All of this troubleshooting was unsuccessful.
From what I can see on the web there appear to be long running problems connecting to Samsung TVs, does anyone have a solution?
Thanks
Paul C
