".. recovery disks do not support this computer.." and I deleted my recovery partition
So I dutiful created Recovery Disks, a set of 4 DVDs. I than resized my Windows 7 partition and deleted the Recovery Partition; to make room for Ubuntu. I want to recover my laptop to original install using the Recovery Disk set.
My laptop boots from the Recovery Disk and reports:
"The system recovery disks do not support this computer. You are not able to restore this system with these disks."
My system is stock:
HP Pavilion dv4 Notebook PC
BIOS F.0C - 3/30/2010
This will teach me not to buy original Windows OS CDs!
Ideas?
I don`t know if this will help you ,but if you have had your system board replaced your original recovery disks won`t work as they look for the serial number ex factory,as i had a similar problem,and ended up getting new disks from hp with my new serial number from the bios.Hope this helps.

Hp the system recovery media does not support this computer, WIN7 GS72 Notebook
HProduct: GS-B66US (17" I3 notebook)
OS: Win7
Bios Rev: F.47
Error message: "hp the system recovery media does not support this computer. You are not able to restore this system"
Changes made to system: Updated bios (I think).
Getting error messages (at system boot, as windows start, and from the intel hard drive controller) warning me to backup data and hard drive my fail.
I replaced the harddrive and inserted the first of my 4 recovery DVDs (created before I updated the bios). After booting from the first recovery disk I get the following message
"hp the system recovery media does not support this computer. You are not able to restore this system with the media"
The computer still boots with the old hard drive (with drive failure imminent messages) I do see support assistant offering another bios update but I did not install it with the hard drive problem
PLEASE HELP
TIAHi,
I think there could be two possible reason. wrong media or systemboard is changed.
did you create any recovery media yourself or you ordered the recovery media from hp? also, was there any systemboard replacement done before?
media created on some other computer (same model) may not work on your computer.
you can order the media from hp.com here.

also once systemboard is replaced you need to get the configuration settings done for BIOS(only HP can do it).
hope it helps

System Recovery media does not support the computer. HELP!!!
Ok problem here the recovery discs that were created do not work. And this is where I'm stuck.
First the details. It's a DV7-6163CL Laptop with windows 7. The discs were created shortly after we got the computer. The reason we have to try and recover the computer is hard drive #1 failed and failed hard. Hard drive was replaced. Now after trying to use the recovery discs we get the error message after a few windows loading screens in Recovery Manger.
"The system recovery media does not support this computer. You are not able to restore this computer with the media."
Well Hp doesn't support his platform anymore due to its age.
Is there anything I can do next to formatting the computer and getting a new OS?Many times this error is caused by missing info in BIOS. Can you enter BIOS-F10 at power on- and check for serial number,etc?
Sometimes a new hdd requires prepping with Cyberlink Utility cd first. Download and Save the file. Once download is complete, put a blank cd in your drive and click the file to create a boot cd. Boot with this cd and wait until you get a green check mark indicating hdd is ready. Remove the cd , insert first Recovery Disk and restart the laptop.

Hi, I am new comer of Apple products.
I have a Imac (OS 10.8.2) and just bought a Time Capsule (2T). I have trouble to install it.
anyone here could help me?
I have downloaded the untility 5.6, during the installation, the message "the version of Mac OS X on this disk is not supported".
what I should do next.
thanksYou have Airport 6 right in the Utilities folder already.
5.6 will not install in ML after the upgrade to ML. -
While trying to setup a time capsule backup to my MyBookLive external drive, I got the following error message: The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features. What's up with this?
This means that your NAS does not support the required encryption. Update your NAS to the latest firmware or ditch it and buy a Time Capsule (they are the most reliable when using TM).

Can anyone tell me what this Time Machine error means? The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features?
AFP - Apple Filing Protocol
The Network Attached Storage (NAS) that you are pointing Time Machine at does not have the features needed by Time Machine in order to do its Thing. Time Machine needs some specific features that are not typically available on generic networked storage devices.
There are manufactures that support the Mac OS X HFS+ file system formats and implement all the needed AFP protocol packets necessary so that they can be used with Time Machine, but apparently yours does not.
If you are not using a networked mounted volume for Time Machine, then more information will be needed about your Time Machine setup. -
"We could not complete your purchase. (This Game) doesn't support this computer's graphics hardware.
I have posted this question in the "App Store" support community, but received no response. Therefore I would like to try here to see whether someone has any knowledge about this, the original question as follows:
I have repeatedly tried to download a game from App-Store, but always receive the prompt: "We could not complete your purchase. (This Game) doesn't support this computer's graphics hardware.
I have been in contact with the game studio's support, and they say: "This issue has already been fixed and works fine on all computers except yours (mine)". The cause allegedly related to Yosemite 10.10.--.
I've apparently been left to my own devices and decided to try this community.
"This Mac" is a late 2012 iMac 27, 3,2 GHz intel i5 that runs Yosemite 10.10.2. With 1 TB Hybrid HDD, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB and 16 GB ram, which according to Game Studio's is well within specs.
Is there anyone out there who know a way around this or should I just face it and get on with the rest of my life?

Im installing and it tells me it make a recovery disk? What does this mean?
I'm installing the new mountain lion and it say that it needs a recovery disk? I don't know exactly what it is asking? Please help!
Unlike OS X versions prior to Lion, Mountain Lion does not come with an install disk, and the installer will delete itself from your hard drive after you install ML, so you'll be left with no handy way to recover your drive in case of a problem (especially a problem during or right after install). Read the following MacWorld Articles to learn all about Recovery and creating a Recovery Disk:
<http://www.macworld.com/search?q=install+from+recovery+partition>
I actually needed the one I made this time right after installing ML--my Disk required some repairs--and I was really glad I had it!
Good Luck! -
After upgrading to Mountain lion, I got this message when it tried to backup to "MybookLive" network disk.
"The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features."
What are AFP features and why can I now not back up to my network disk?I had a similar issue when I tried to do a network-share backup w Time machine when the share was on a Leopard OSX G5 Power PC.
I think Time Machine looks for a minimum feature set support from the afp mounted drives so they can be used with Time Machine.
Western Digital may have to update the firmware on your device to support the new afp features.
Hope this helps. -
want to use icloud on my macbook and cant because I am using OSX10.6.8 - I want to upgrade this but I cant upgrade to mountain lion as my mac does not support this - cannot find a way to go to Version 10.7.4 which i understand supports icloud - help to do this please
If you purchased Lion for your iMac, just log into the Mac App Store from your MacBook using the Apple ID under which you purchased Lion and go to the Purchases page. You will be able to download and install Lion there.
searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7
The only place you get get Lion is from the Mac App Store. If you found some other site, that was an illegal copy and almost certainly tied to someone else's Apple ID and hence unusable by you. If the link was just to the Mac App Store, see above.
As to the problem with synchronization to iCloud, that's not a 10.6 question, so I'd suggest you take up that specific issue in either the Lion or iCloud forums, providing full details, and someone there can probably help you sort things out.

I have a problem with my Iphone 4s since I did my first update at your Itunes, the bluetooth and the WiFi it is not workinhg anymore.
It is sad that companies like apple are not able to support thier sofware and business.
I went to a apple store at South Park, Charlotte NC,
and found out the worst customer service (in my case)
They don't have answers and don't understand about "dont let any customer go away sad or mad"
I explain to them that I did everything they said to fix the problem, even to dounload the iOS 6.1.3
that was supposed to fix the problem.
they said fix the problem in other phones but not in mine.
So here I am with no wifi and bluetooth, with apple technicians and experts that don't know what to do with the problem that the sofware they developed cause in my iphone 4s.
and the solution is for me to pay $199.00 US dollars for a problem that I did not cause.
wich means to buy something else from apple to fix a problem that it is not my fault.
Great! what a convenient solution.
I would like to have an answer from you guys and see if someone there have a better answer for me that shows support, values and integrity as a grest company with solutions for your customers.
Dont think that I want a new phone, I want mine fixed if is possible.
Thank you very much and God Bless you!Apple isnt here. this is a user based forum for technical questions. The solution is to restart, reset, and restore as new which is in the manual after that get it replaced for hard ware failure. if your within your one year warranty its replaced if it is out of the warranty then it is 199$
