Iphoto not supported by architecture.

I accidently replaced my working version of iphoto with a version which is "not supported on this architecture" I have the install disks but am concerned about losing my pictures and videos. I cannot open my library either but can see the photos under search for.....all images. If I install again what do I need to delete first and will I keep my photos?

sfeh
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only...’
Re-installing the application will not affect your photos. That said +Always always always+ back up before doing some thing like this.

IPhoto - "not supported on this architecture" after leopard install

after upgrading to leopard it seems to have deleted my iPhoto all together and when I click what is left of the application I get a window alerting me that iPhoto - "not supported on this architecture" How can I restore?

What version of iPhoto is it?
Did you do an Upgrade or Erase Install?
Have you tried re-installing iPhoto? To do this, go first to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name. Then re-install iPhoto from either an iLife disk or System Restore disks that came with your computer.

PSE 8 install question for Mac PowerBook G4, "Does not support PowerPC architecture CPU..."

I am getting the following message during attempted install of Photoshop Elements 8 for my Mac PowerBook G4 (OS 10.4.11):
"This product does not support PowerPC architecture CPU. Please upgrade or adjust your system to meet these requirements."
I double-checked system requirements listed online before purchasing software, and also checked requirements listed on outside of box before opening it. All looked fine,
Searching Adobe help has turned up nada, any thoughts out there?
Thanks in advance,
Laura

Hi Laura,
I guess you must have missed something or misinterpreted something. Please check the requirements mentioned on the web page: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopelmac/systemreqs/
which clearly says that it needs an Intel® processor which means an iMac machine, Mac PPC are not supported in PSE 8 anymore.

HT201386 Why is iphoto not supporte by ios8 anymore??

Why is iphoto not supported from ios8 anymore?! I put alot of work in slideshows and now i cant use them anymore?! That really makes me angry, why are u keep making it worse and more complicated than it already is with every new update!

Please write this to Apple using the feedback form, so the developer team will see it. This is a user-to-user forum, and we cannot do anything about it.
Use this link: Apple - iPhoto - Feedback
Why is iphoto not supported from ios8 anymore?!
Making iPhoto run on iOS8 would have required to a major upgrade and rewriting of code, since the the parts of iOS that support image processing changed considerably. Apple decided to release a new Photos.app to replace iPhoto instead of upgrading iPhoto. See this help documents:
Migrating from iPhoto for iOS to Photos on iOS 8
Get help finding your Photos in iOS 8
When you send feedback to Apple, be sure to request the features that are missing from Photos and need to be upgraded, if Photos is really to be a replacement for iPhoto. So far, Photos is very basic, and does not yet offer, what has been lost by killing iPhoto.

Downloaded jing and I have OSX 10.5.8 but I cannot open it up, says not supported by architecture. What to I need to correct please?

I downloaded jing onto my computer. I have OSX 10.5.8, which is what jing requires so it shouldn't be an issue. When I go into the applications file and click on the jing icon, it won't open and says "it is not supported ny architecture". What does this mean and how can I fix it? Thank you!

The current version of Jing requires an Intel processor running OS X 10.5.8 or later. The message you're receiving is because the iBook uses the PowerPC platform and not Intel. The last release of Jing that will run on your system is version 2.3, which they no longer support and it doesn't auto update.

IPHOTO not supported

I am new to the Mac family and have many questions, but will limit to this one for now. I tried to open iPHOTO to learn how to use this app.and received this error message [This application iPHOTO cannot open because it it not supported by this architecture.] What did I do now. The Mini is about a month old.
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I agree with TD about returning to the vendor and getting the correct versions of the iLife applications.
But before you do, run Pacifist on the system install disk that came with your Mac to locate and install the iPhoto version that's on the disk. Then see what version it is. If that one is not a universal version then you need new system disks with the correct software. Classic only application are not included with intel Macs, only universal applications.

Cannot use program, not supported by architecture? I have a MacBook running 10.5 and have a Snow Leopard upgrade disk to 10.6.3, and that is the error message that I keep getting as to why my update won't install.

I have a MacBook that I am trying to upgrade to Snow Leopard so that I may upgrade it then to Lion to make better use of my iPad and some of the n we tools that Apple has made available in Lion. I have checked and double checked that my MacBook meets the hardware expectations, and it does exceed the ones for Snow Leopard. however, every time that I try to run the install disk it tells me that the program is not supported by the current architecture. I have even tried to backend the processes by opening the install folder with "View Package Contents" option, but it still gives the same error message! Someone please help!

Obtain one of these Snow Leopard DVDs instead. They are not expensive.
To get one, there are some details at this link.

IPhoto not supported by OS X 10.9.4 update on MacBook iPhoto.

Since I updated to OS X 10.9.4 on my MacBook Pro, I can no longer access iPhoto. I get a message that iPhoto is not supported on my Mac. Is anyone else having this problem? Don't know where to begin.

The photos are located in your iPhoto Library package which, by default, is located in your Pictures folder and is independent of the application.
What system are you running? If it's anything earlier than Yosemite you won't be able to download iPhoto as the only version available from the App Store is 9.6 which only works with Yosemite.

IPhoto not supported in Classic Mode

I'm trying to open iPhoto. The file has a circle with a line through it saying it can't be opened because Classic Mode is no longer supported. We can't access our pictures.

Are you sure that you are launching iPhoto '11?
Did you double-click or right-click-open the application directly, or did you launch it some other way?
Did you migrate applications from some older system? Might you be launching the migrated iPhoto instead?

This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks. It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
Note 1: every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
Note 2: If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1
WARNING: If you use iTunes to sync photos between your iPhone or iPad and your Mac do not activate the iCloud Drive. Doing so will kill the capability of using iTunes to sync with your mobile device.
Also it will disable Documents & Data syncing for your iCloud account on OS X Mavericks and earlier Macs, as well as iOS 7 and earlier devices.
