Software not supported? what?
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.
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.

If DVD Movies, Audio CD's and even burning CD and DVD's are not supported, what is the point of DVD & CD Sharing then? Wouldn't it just be better to remote in or use a thumb drive if it's only able to be used for data transfer?
Or am I missing the bigger picture?As long as you have a Superdrive or an external burner/drive, burning, watching, installing, etc. from CD or DVD will work just fine. And so will sharing.

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 -

Typically this indicates a device that has been hacked to be unlocked or jailbroken.
If that is the case, no support can be provided here. -

Saying "browser not supported" - what to do?
Saying "browser not supported" - what to do?
A couple of options:
Turn on the Developer menu. You can do this with a tool like iTweax 2.3 and try changing the user agent.
Download and use Firefox instead. -
I've been trying to use my Amazon Prime instant video on my Iphone 5 and Ipod but each I'm using a proxy server therefore video is not supported what can I do to alleviate this problem
Are you a 100% sure??? Because I'm definitely given the option to do this and there are even downloads to this effect, i.e. iPhone 3G ios 6.0. I am even given this option when I plug my iPhone into iTunes. The only problem I'm having is what I have mentioned above.

if you are to update your iphone and after it says the simcard inside is not supported, what can yo do?
That means your phone was hacked to unlock it.
ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it.
It may no longer be possible to process a legitimate unlock on a phone that was hacked/jailbroken. The hack can do permanent damage.
You can find out who it was locked to and find out if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Don't be surprised if you are never able to use it again. It may be permanently bricked. -
I tunes is saying my sim card is not supported what can i do to sort it out
i tunes is saying my sim card is not supported what can i do to sort it out
Where exactly did you get the phone? That message indicates that the phone is carrier locked to a carrier other than the one you are trying to use. Note that if the phone is locked to (for example) Orange in the UK, then you can NOT use it on Orange in France. They are not the same carrier, even though they have the same parent.
It's possible that the SIM you have is defective, but I would normally expect to see a different message if that were the case. -
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.

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. -
