Setup - Unsupported Operating System

I received a Linksys E1200 Wi-Fi Router for Christmas. I inserted the Setup CD into my iMac, running OS X version 10.8.2.
I clicked on setup and a window opened with the message "Unsupported operating system".
At this point I don't plan to use the Wi-Fi for the computer, but I do need to connect the ethernet cable to the router, then to my computer.
I will be using Wi-Fi for my iPad. In that case, I have no instructions on how to set up the router for my iPad. Please advise.
Will this Wi-Fi router work or will I need a router compatible with OS X version 10.8.2?

Hi, have you tried downloading it from here? Its supposed to work for the 10.8 version, though Im not sure if it will however for the 10.8.2. At either rate, you can also manually configure the router, just follow the instructions on my signature.

I'm trying to connect my MacBook Pro running on OS 10.8.2 to a Linksys EA3500 router and when I go to click on the set up icon I get an "unsupported operating system". Any suggestions on what to do? The Linksys site is useless.

Don't use the CD software its not necessary.
Infact put it in the trash.
Your router will have an IP address in the range 192.168.1.1
Connect your router to your Mac via Ethernet cable (They usually supply one with the router and don't worry which end goes where the Mac LAN socket is bi-directional)
Also connect your router to your telephone line.
Now open your Web browser Safari . Type in the IP address above and a Javascript control panel will launch
Enter the default password and username (They are on a label on the router )
Your now have the ability to set up your router.
Your will need the password and user name supplied to you by your ISP at a minimum.
Enter these and most modern routers automatically configure the basic networking setting.
You now need to go to the security setting and set this as WPA2 Personal (NOT Enterprise) or WPA2 with AES and TKIP which ever it refers to and create a pass-phase. WRITE it down
You should be online.
Now remove the cable and connect to the Wifi and enter that passphase.

Cisco Connect won't open due to Unsupported Operating System

I have a Mac with OS X version 10.7.4, however when I try to open Cisco Connect I get an error message that says:
Unsupported operating system
The router works with these operating systems:
- Mac OS X 10.4.9 or later

Anyone know what I need to do to get it to open?

I found this article, but I have device E2000, so does this mean I can't update my Cisco connect software? I just moved and my wireless isn't working. I need to get into cisco connect to set it up. Do I need to buy a new device?

How to install Deskjet 3055a, new router but unsupported operating system on Macbook

Hi, Please go easy with me, I really know very little about all this ! We have a Deskjet 3055A printer which has been linked wirelessly to my iPad and a MacBook without a problem until now. We have installed a new router. I am thinking that we have to amend our network in some way ? I have tried to run the HP cd on the MacBook to amend it, but all I get is the message as follows... "Unsupported operating system. The installer is not compatible with the version of the operating system on your computer. It is compatible only with 10.6 and below." The MacBook is running OS X version 10.9.5 Any help greatly appreciated - thank you ! ( Please keep it simple !! ) We 

Welcome to the community @Teekayk
I understand you are trying to install your Deskjet 3055A on your Mac, running Mavericks. The installation CD may be compatible up to 10.6, and that could be why you are seeing the error message.
This link should help you. It will show you how to install the printer on your Mac. There is no full driver and software available for the Deskjet 3055A on Mavericks, which basically means you will need to review your other options to scan on your Mac through Apple Updates, which is all included in the guide.

Unsupported Operating System

Hi. I have finally moved from an iphone to a blackberry. I have a MAC with OS X 10.5.5
I have downloaded the Blackberry Desktop Software and everytime I want to download an application it comes up with the following message:
Unsupported Operating System
You are using an unsupported operating system, some functionality will be disabled.
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall and it still comes up with this error.
Please help me ..... I dearly want to use this phone.....
Thanks in advance

I've got the same issue with this, the non-availability of the older software for those of us not running the very latest Mac OS. Anybody know where you can get it from? So far I've been working around this by just connecting my BB with the USB cable or by Bluetooth and transferring files as if it were another disc connected to the computer, but I'd prefer to be able to do it more easily... I did pay for the privilege after all, come on RIM, sort it out!!!!

E4200 - Unsupported Operating System Mountain Lion

Just purchased the E4200 for our office to find that the most current mac operating system, Moutain Lion, is not supported by this wirelss router. Does anyone know of a work-around or solution for this problem?

When you sy unsupported, you are referring to the software that helps you setup the router right? The router will work with this operating system, you will still be able to connect wirelessly to the network using this. But for the initial setup, if you do not have another computer to use, you will have to manually configure it.

Are you saying you want to install 10.7 on your MacBook and you already have Windows XP installed in BootCamp? 10.7 doesn't come on a cd - it's a download purchased from Apple's App Store. What is on the cd? Which MacBook do you have and what Mac OS are you currently using?

After upgrade cannot connect to router- Cisco Connect advises "unsupported operating system"

With the upgrade I am unable to connect to my Linksys E1200 Router.

When you try to login at http://192.168.1.1, what happens? What do you see on your browser? Does it say invalid password, or does it not give you a login prompt at all? And I'm not sure if you're problem is the wireless computer or the wired one...you say you have one wired computer, then you're saying that you use the same wire with the other one, and use the term "cables" so it's confusing what you're trying to do. Do you have two wired computers, one working on the internet and the other not? Or ???
Also, you can reset the router password to factory defaults by using the reset button on the back (press it for about 30 seconds, then release). This will also set all your configuration back to factory defaults, too, so you'll have to re-enter all your settings, but it is possible that you changed the password somewhere along the way and forgot what it is.

When I try to open my Cisco Connect router it says "unsupported operating system".

I just upgraded to Maverick and now when I try to access my Cisco router it won't open and when I try to open a firmware upgrade download, it says "set up is damaged and can't be opened". My OS X is version 10.9 now. Cisco says it supports 10.5.8 or later, 10.6.1 or later, and 10.7 or later. Does this mean Cisco no longer supports my router because of the upgrade to Maverick? Shouldn't Apple have said the upgrade would affect hardware such as a router?

Select one of the problem files in the Finder and open the Info window. Do you have read & write access?

Error on Media Sync 3.0 Install - Unsupported Operating System

I am having problems installing the new version of media sync on my computer running Windows XP Pro SP3 (v.3311). After it unpacks the files and begins to run the installation wizard, I receive a message that says I am trying to install it on a computer w/ a unsupported operating system. Here is what I have done to try to fix the problem:
1) I have re-downloaded the installation file from Blackberry multiple times over a span of days
2) I have tried to download an install through the check for updates feature in my current version of media sync
3) I have tried uninstalling media sync and rebooting my computer and then trying to install the new version
4) I saw in one post in another Blackberry forum that you need to be on the highest release of v. 2. I downloaded as instructed and when trying to install it I also get the unsupported operating system message
I have run out of attempts I can think of, and have searched Blackberry, Crackberry, and Google for a solution.
Has anyone figured out anything yet on this one?
P.S. -- I know that some have successfully installed the new Media Sync on their computers running XP w/ SP3. So there is not need to reply letting me know you did not have a problem installing it.
Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.

Your Microsoft Windows Xp SP3 version value in the registry may be inconsistent or missing ...
- Please navigate to the following tree in the registry editor and paste the value for "CSDVersion"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
The regkey can be accessed by searching for 'CSDVersion' in the registry editor or you could follow the steps below.
(1) Click 'Start' > choose 'Run'
(2) type 'regedit' in the run window and click 'ok'. This will open the registry editor
(3) Navigate the tree to 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion'
(4) look in the left side pane and locate 'CSDVersion' and its value.
And how did your upgrade to SP3 happen? Did it come preinstalled on your machine or have you upgraded it by downloading upgrades from the internet.

Installed 3D Desktop Aquarium screen saver several operating systems ago. It was not designed to operate with the intel setup so I uninstalled it. Problem is that the sound track remains and I don't know how to get rid of it.

Have an iMac with Lion OS. Installed 3D Desktop Aquarium screensaver a couple of operating systems ago. When I "upgraded" to Snow Leopard the screen saver would no longer work so I (thought) uninstalled it. The fish are gone , but the sound is still there drowning out everything else. How can I get rid of this?

How did you remove it?
Does it have a Pref Pane in System Preferences?

How do I disactivate the operating system on my macbook that was stolen from me?

So in early September someone who I know broke into my apartment and stole my computer, I called the police and filed a report. I have some very snesitive documents on the computer that I would prefer no one to get their hands on. I was able to find the operating system disk I had purchsed to update the operating system a few years ago so I have all of the information associated with the OS. I do not know the IP address of the computer or exactly where it is (obviously or I would have it back). I want to basically turn the OS off so my files on the computer cannot be opened or used. Is there any way to disactivate the OS remotely like you can with Windows (if you use the product key on another PC it deactivates the previous version). I don't know if it matters but it was a late 2006 macbook (black) model 13" screen.

Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) for 8.1.x Hangs on Machines
with Pentium 4
Processors
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Versions Affected
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oracle 8.1.5
============
Oracle Universal Installer 1.6.0.9.0
Oracle 8.1.6
=============
Oracle Universal Installer 1.7.0.19.0
Oracle 8.1.7
==============
Oracle Universal Installer 1.7.1.9.0
Platforms Affected
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any platform that uses the Intel Pentium 4 processor, with the
Sun JRE
and Symmantec JIT will encounter this problem. Windows NT,
Windows 2000
and NetWare platforms are confirmed to be affected.
Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
When installing Oracle Products with the Oracle Universal
Installer (8.1.x)
on machines that use the Sun JRE and Symmantec JIT, the
installer hangs.
Specifically for the Windows platform, the following version
of the Symmantec
JIT or earlier will encounter the failure:
Symantec Java! JustInTime Compiler Version 3.10.107 for JDK
1.2.
Details regarding this issue can be found at:
http://developer.intel.com/design/processor/future/manuals/knowni ssue.htm
How to determine if you have Symmantec Java for JDK 1.2:
1. Select the file "symcjit.dll" and right click on it.
2. Select Properties, then the Version tab.
3. Under Microsoft Windows*, the properties of the DLL are:
"Symantec Java! JustInTime Compiler Version 3.10.107 for
JDK 1.2 Copyright (C)
1996-99 Symantec Corporation Dynamic Link Library file".
DLLs older than this will also not work. "
Likelihood of Occurrence
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any platform that uses the Intel Pentium 4 processor, with the
Sun JRE
and Symmantec JIT will encounter this problem. Windows NT,
Windows 2000 and NetWare platforms are confirmed to be
affected.
Possible Symptoms
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The failure typically is that the affected application simply
terminates.
Workaround
~~~~~~~~~~
Not only will OUI be affected by this bug, most of the
post-install
configuration tools will also be affected. Running these
tools with "-nojit"
specified will avoid the hang, but it is not simple to specify
"-nojit" for
some of the products.
The following workaround works for the Windows operating
system:
a. Copy only the install directory from the CD to the hard
disk ,say, e:\temp.
b. Open oraparam.ini and make the following modifications
(Assuming CD
drive is f:)
* Change the "SOURCE=" line to use the full path to the CD
instead of a
relative path. (i.e., SOURCE=f:\stage\products.jar)
* Change the "JRE_LOCATION" line to use the full path to the
CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e.,
JRE_LOCATION=f:\stage\Components\oracle\swd\jre\1.1.7\1\DataFiles
\Expanded)
* Change the "OUI_LOCATION" line to use the full path to the
CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e.,
OUI_LOCATION=f:\stage\Components\oracle\swd\oui\1.6.0.9.0\1\DataF
iles\Expanded
* Change the "JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS" line to add "-nojit" as the
first argument.
(i.e., JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit -ms16m -mx32m)
^^^^^^
* Other entries should remain the same
c. Launch setup.exe from the temporary location on your hard
drive (i.e.
e:\temp\install\win32\setup.exe). This will use the
modified
oraparam.ini and pick up the information from the CD since
the absolute
locations are specified.
Choose a Custom install and choose not to create a database
during the
install. This way, the Database Configuration Assistant will
not be launched
during installation.
The Net8 Configuration Assistant will still be launched, and
there is no way
to suppress it. You will need to kill the Net8 Configuration
Assistant if it
hangs due to the bug. The installation still will have been
successful, and
you can run the DBCA and NetCA after installation.
To kill NetCA if it hangs during installation:
In the "Configuration Tools" window, highlight the "Net8
Configuration
Assistant" and click "Stop". If that does not work, look for
the most recent
JRE process using the Task Manager, and kill it manually.
NOTE: the OUI
itself will also have a jre process. Be sure to kill the one
with the most
recent date, which should be the jre process being used for
Net8CA, not the
one for OUI itself.
After killing the configuration tools and continuing through
the installation
to the "End of Installation" screen, you should modify the
configuration tools
to use "-nojit", then call the appropriate tools from the
Start Menu.
Once installation is complete, each of the following files in
the ORACLE_HOME
needs to be modified:
assistants\dbca\dbassist.cl
assistants\dbma\dbmig.cl
assistants\ifa\ifa.cl
bin\elogin.cl
bin\owm.cl
ldap\oidamdin\oidadmin.cl
network\tools\netasst.cl
network\tools\netca.cl
owm\install\instelogin.cl
owm\install\instowm.cl
Edit the contents of the above files to add "-nojit" as shown
below:
Command=("C:\Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.7\BIN\JREW" -nojit
-classpath ....
this is the only thing you need to add --> ^^^^^^
Then, launch the necessary tools, like Net8CA and DBCA from
the Start Menu.
Patches
~~~~~~~
Currently there is not a patched installer available to deal
with this
problem, the workaround listed above must be used.

The solution of making a local copy of the installation CD on

work to allow installation of Oracle Client 8.1.7 on a Pentium 4
This function is useful and you can find two file to rename

Windows ME
Solution to the installation of Oraclei8.1.7 PE in Windows Millennium
Oracle does not support installing version 8.1.7 PE into
Windows Millennium.
As an unsupported workaround, you may add the following line
to the [compatibility95] section of win.ini prior to
installation:
Jrew=0x00080000
After setup is complete, Oracle will recommend a reboot.
There is one additional step necessary prior to reboot;
Oracle may add a non-standard path statement to the
autoexec.bat file. Please modify this SET PATH
statement to use short-filenames if you find a quoted
LFN string represented as part of the path. You can
confirm that the path was merged successfully into the
registry after reboot by examining the PATH variable
in the registry at
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\Environment
Symptoms of a missing Oracle path statement in the registry are that Net8 Easy Config will not launch.
Please note that Oracle does not support the use of this
product in Windows ME, but have authorized these workarounds
for testing purposes only.
===============================================================
Windows XP Home Edition
Oracle 8i is not certified on windows XP. Even if yes, it must be Windows XP Professional.
You can install Oracle8i on windows XP Home Edition, try like this:
1 - Copy your Oracle CD into hard disk in your
machine. For example Copy from oracle8i CD into C:\Oracle\ ...
2 - Search the two files named Symcjit.dll on the D drive (where you have copied Oracle8i. You can found them in (example):
C:\Oracle\stage\Components\oracle.swd.jre\1.1.7.30\1
\DataFiles\Expanded\jre\win32\bin\symcjit.dll
3 - Rename this file (Example): symcjit_back.dll (make sure to find two files and rename them)
4 - Execute the Oracle setup.exe from C:\Oracle\setup.exe
===============================================================
When Oracle 8i dies on the install or the installer hangs, here is the fix for this, make sure that you have Service Pack 2 installed.
1. \JRE\1.3.1\ From Sun. (You can download java program at http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/jre/download-jre-windows.html)
2. Install the java file.
There is also a problem in the installation disk.
3. Make a copy of the Oracle 8i disk on the local hard disk.
4. Do a search for the two files called symcjit.dll and rename them for example: symcjit.old.
5. Install Oracle from the win32 directory.
