HT2476 Can't open Word documents. Get error "You can't open the application MS Word because Power PC applications are no longer supported.
What do I do to fix this error? Can't I use MS anymore?
You have many choices, the least attractive in my opinion is to upgrade M$ Office to the newest version.
Look into Pages ($20 from Apple), NeoOffice, or OpenOffice (both free). All open and save MS Word formats.

Have can't open iphot because power pc apps are no longer supported
I recently burned up an 8 year old Mac (all in one machine) for lack of better terminology.
It was replaced with a MacMini so I could connect to an existing monitor.
Upon launching, I have an error, when I open iPhoto or iDVD, etc that says: Can't open Iphoto because power pc apps are no longer supported.
What do I need to do now?
I'm assuming the software I had originally on my old machine is outdated? But I also thought it was pre loaded with all the basic stuff.
AS you can tell I'm not the biggest user............ but I would like to be!Sounds like someone restored your programs from you old PowerPC-based system to your new system, probably running OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion. Apple dropped the capability to run PowerPC-based code in these systems. You can go to Launch pad and access the App Store to buy updated versions of the iLife programs. However, iDvd is no longer available from Apple. You can buy iLife in a box from sources like Amazon.com that will have iDvd included, and possibly even by calling the Apple online store at, in the US, 800-MY-APPLE. Ask for the latest version of iLIfe with iDvd off the legacy products list.
You probably should click on the apple on the left of the menu bar, click about this mac, more info, systems report, and applications (which will take a few moments to display). Click kind to sort the list. Any programs that say PowerPC won't run under 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion. -
Since upgrading (?) to Lion my HP 3570c scanner won't operate because "power PC products are no longer supported"
Is there any way I can get a perfectly serviceable scanner (HP3570c) to work with my iMac?Is it just the HP software that's not compatible, rather than the scanner itself?
A couple of things you could try that may work. Launch Image Capture in the Applications folder and see if that recognises your scanner. If that draws a blank, you could try downloading VueScan from www.hamrick.com and see if that works. If does, you'll need to buy a licence to make it fully functional. -
I am trying to reinstall Dreamweaver CS3 from the CD after having computer issues. Now getting error "You can only install one Adobe product at a time. Please complete the other installation before attempting to install ......." There is no other Adobe product installing. I have used the Adobe Cleaner Tool many times and uninstalled other Adobe Products but neither has worked. I have uninstalled/reinstalled this CD version of Dreamweaver several times when changing computers and after having computer issues. A google search of the problem suggested it may be an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues. Please help.

Absolutely not. You are misinterpreting things. The activation check never happens when just running the installer, only much later. It means what it says - there is another "install" pending/ active on your system, meaning somewhere there is an (invisible) process still blocking things. Either way, since you haven't provided any real technical info, we can't advise specifically. if you are on Windows, you may want to check your task manager and terminate any setup.exe and msiexec.exe processes plus potentially may need to manually fix/ delete some registry keys. For anything beyond that you will have to be much more specific.

After an earlier attempt to move Logic from my other mac (OSX 10.6.8) with the migration assistant to my new mac with OSX 10.8.2. I've re-started the whole start up process by erasing the hard drive from the new machine and build it up from scratch. After a new "out of the box" start, I decided to install LOGIC from my disks : starting with my 2007 package Logic Studio 8 and upgrading with my Logic 9 package from 2009. When trying to start to install 2008 I got the error message : Logic Studio.mpkg cannot be opened as the power pc programs are no longer supported.
What does this mean? HOw do I get this working under 10.8.2 as it works flawlessly under OSX 10.6.8. For sure I didn't buy a new machine to have OSX 10.8.2 but I suspect this is the roadblock to installing my logic package.
Help!Mark,
Sorry...
I completely lost the thread (I actually got confused between you and another poster on a another forum that was asking the same basic question) and somehow ended up thinking you were trying to install on a PPC Mac
My apologies and please ingnore those parts of my last post relating to the PPC Macs...
You have an Intel Mac and therefore Logic Studio 2 Boxed Upgrade set should install/run on your Mac without issue. As I said earlier.. you do not need to try and install from the original Logic Studio 1 /Logic 8 Boxed set...(It won't work anyhow because you have an Intel Mac and that version had a PPC installer) but just install from the Logic Studio 2 / Logic Pro 9 Upgrade Boxed setof DVDs instead...
Have you tried the "Make Disk Image" solution I gave earlier? That normnally works under such circumstances as what you are describing can happen when your DVD drive cannot read the DVDs correctly... I have had this situation myself where one drive read them okay and another failed to do so for whatever reason. Making and then installing from Disk images of those exact same disks resolved the issue for me...
You can try to reinstall directly from the DVDs of course though under some circumstances it may not allow you to reinstall Logic Pro itself if that part of the original installation attempt was successful... in which case you can also try this... (It's probably the easiest method if Logic 9 was already installed and present in your Apps Folder)
If the Logic Pro App is in your applications folder..
Run Software Updates to update Logic Pro to a version that will run under 10.8.2 (The initially installed version of Logic will not)
Run Logic
Go to the menu bar in Logic and select Logic Pro/Install Additional Content and select all content in there..
This content is basically exactly the same as what is stored on the remaining DVDs of the boxed set so you might not need to use the rest of the DVDs to install from but download it all instead from Apple Servers... -

Pages software in 10.8.3 does not support previous work done on microsoft office 2004. Pop up says -- You can't open the application "Mircosoft Excel" because Power PC applications are no longer supported. What can I do now?
Use Numbers, OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Microsoft Office 2008 or newer, Google Docs, or similar tools to open the files.

Can't open Lightroom. Getting Error message: Trying to open Lightroom. Get ERROR message
I can't open my Lightroom. I keep on getting the message:
Trying to open Lightroom. Get ERROR message:
Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit.
Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem the next time it launches.
This has happened before.
I also can't get my Plug-ins (like Topaz and onOne) to work within Photoshop CC and Lightroom.
Not the first time this has happened.
Any suggestions?I apologize. I should've told you to delete the folder with the same name as your catalog. So you want to delete the folder named Lightroom 5 Catalog Previews.lrdata.

I am not at all smart when it comes iMac App's.
Having upgraded to 10.7 Lion, find that I cannot open any word documents , nor can I gain access to my Entourage email folders. I am now left feeling thatthis is really not my era.
I am an old guy attempting to keep up the young guy's technology and no longer have idea what I am doing.
I have managed to start anew with Mail.
But have no idea how to find or proceed without the now unsupported Microsoft Word application.
Where can I find a replacement for Word, and how may I ever be able to get into my old Word Documents?
Since upgrading from Snow leopard I find that I am unable to get my Seagate hard drive selected as a location for Time Machine back-upswhen running through System Preferences.
Any help on these issues would be greatly appreciated
Please excuse any lack of ettiquitte in this submission, I am new to this culture.Thanks Barney, I am now using pages to open exisiting Word documents. and then saving in the new format. I then trash the old incompatable (.doc) file.
This works OK, but it will be a time consuming operation to be repearted on each file that I use.
Is there any shortcut to enable sync all of the .doc files to Page?
I have not managed to recover Entourage email files . But now use Mail application, which is fine.
Encountered problems are ongoing.
I have an Epson Epson Stylus Photo Rx430 printer.
Since upgrading to OSX10.7 print files do not load to the printer. The Epson job box shows data is being sent to printer but it the task is never completed.
I take this to be a Printer Driver issue.
Today, I have been in contact with Epson Printer support, enquiring if they have any driver updates for RX430 that would be compatable with OSX10.7 Lion.
I was notified by Epson that they do not have any drivers for any of their printers for the new OSX 10.7.
How may I continue using my now unsupported Epson printer? -
Can't update with 7 getting error message not connected to the Internet
Not sure what's going on with IPAD 2, can't download latest update. Error message telling me I'm not connected to the Internet. Do I need to change some settings!
Hi,
but only when I am trying to download Pages and Keynotes
You can download Pages and Keynote from here.
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id361285480?mt=8
http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/pages.html
If you click on: *Vist the app store* on those links, it will open iTunes.
You can verify the installation in the iTunes window under the Apps tab. Then click the Sync button bottom right side of the iTunes window.

Downloaded pc iCloud control panel. Can't log in. Get error message can't sign in because of a server error. Help
Hi,
Are you running any Anti-virus software or do you have your firewall turned on? If so, disable them and try again. If that doesn't work, delete the iCloud account and then sign it back on again.
Make sure you are running the most current version of the iCloud Control Panel:

You can't open the application Treasures because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.

The prior post is only technically right; leaving you with the incorrect impression that you are "up the creek" if the developer does not offer you an Intel update.
DId you just update to Mt. Lion (from what?) or is this on a new MBP that came with Mt. Lion installed?
