Unable to open mail, address book etc due to this message: You can't use this version of the application Address Book with this version of Mac OS X. HELP!
I am transferring my mother's address book and mail etc to my computer from an external hard drive enclosure and am not able to open it due to this message: You can't use this version of the application Address Book with this version of Mac OS X. HELP! Is there a way to open her older applications and get the info out?
her email is in user>Library>Mail folder. Hopefully you've created another user on your Mac for your mother so she would have her own user Library.

I downloaded the OS X version 10.9 and my Iphoto version 9.2.3 will not open. I get a message that I can't use this version of the application I photo with this version of OS X. How do I upgrade to a i photo that will run on 10.9. Do I purchase a new program or can I do just an download?
Check the "Purchases" page in the Mac App Store and see if there is a more recent version there already waiting for you.

After installing Yosmite, The following message is stopping me accessing my disk utility. 'You can't use this version of the application “Disk Utility” with this version of OS X.' you have “Disk Utility” 12.1.1.
not only that my Mac pro keeps dropping my internet connection and logs on to BT Open.
HelpFor whatever reason you don't have the Yosemite version of Disk Utility which is 13. I suggest you reinstall Yosemite.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Download and install the 10.10.1 update.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Check that you have the current version of Disk Utility. -
can anyone help?

I just got a new MacbookPro using Mavericks OS. When I tried to load Filemaker Pro I got this message: You can't open the application Filemaker Pro.app because Power PC applications are no longer supported. This is a disaster.

The only viable solution is to upgrade to the latest versions of the PPC legacy software that will run under Mavericks.
Except for the other viable solution:
If you are unable or unwilling to upgrade to a version of Filemaker that runs natively under Mavercks, you can run your existing version of Filemaker by installing Snow Leopard Server into Parallels:

iPhoto has somehow uninstalled itself, or I've done something wrong. If I try to open iPhoto, it gives me this message: "You can't open the application "iPhoto" because it may be damaged or incomplete". I have an iMac OS X. How do I reinstall iPhoto please?
What is your iPhoto version and how did you install it originally?
If it came with a new mac and Lion or Mt. Lion installed, you can delete iPhoto from the Applications folder (don't empty the Trash) and download it again from the "Purchased" tab of the App Store.
If you have bought the iLife CD, reinstall iPhoto from the installation media, after deleting it from the Application folder.
Or if your Mac came with an older MacOS X, but iLIfe preinstalled, use the system Install CDs, see Terence Devlin's post here: Re: My iPhoto isn't working. Error message says "you can't open the app "iPhoto" because it may be damaged or incomplete.
Regards
Léonie
P.S: This may not only be a problem of a broken iPhoto. What did you do, directly before this happened? Did you run a program, that will clean the Mac to save space, like "Clean My Mac" or "Mac Keeper"? These little helpers can be risky and overdo it and remove too much. Then it might be safer to reinstall your system, because other essential files might be missing now. -
I attempted to open iPhoto and got this message: you can't open the application because it may be damaged or incomplete. Now the iPhoto icon has a little line through it.
Nice. Shall I say goodbye to my treasured iPhoto library? What happened?
I did just upgrade my iPhone to OS 5. Could that be related somehow?
Help!1. Back up your iPhoto Library - you should always have a back up anyway.
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
2. Reinstall
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
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.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List. -

Hi when i switch on the macc 41 files open at once can not open any files while this is happing can still use AI & PS and the internet any help thanks...
Are you wanting to stop the 41 files from opening at once or is this intentional? At what point do they open when you power on the mac or when you boot Illustrator? What OS version are you using?
If you can answer the questions above can provide better advice, but you may be running into something similar:

"You can't use this version of the application Address Book
with this version of Mac OSX. You have Address Book 4.1.1"
I have my address book icon in my dock. When I click on it to open - I get the error message verbatim as stated above. I'm stuck. I think it's been a couple years that it's been doing this. Haven't had a reason to until I needed to add/edit some entries.
I want to add a few Facetime contacts and Facetime doesn't give me the ability to add/edit an existing contact - so I figured I should be able open Address Book (which I faintly remember doing a while ago). Anyone be able to get this error to go away when opening Address Book?
Thanks in advance!Sounds like it hasn't been updated in some time. Have you moved it out of the Applications folder (or into a sub-folder inside the Applications folder)? If so, it won't update. Put it back, then download and run the Mac OS X 10.6.6 combo updater to bring it back to the current version (which is 5.0.3).

It is any problem with the application vtok? Since I update my iPad2 system to iOS6.0 I was unable to use this application. The problem is when I tap on the vtok icon, the application opens and closes right away. I removed and reinstall the application twice, but this doesn't fix the problem. When I try to find the application on application store, it's give me a message that the vtok application is not available in USA.
Not available in Spain either. I can't find anything googling for this problem, Vtok's page and facebook page seem to be unmaintained.
It is strange such a widely used app doesn't show life signals.
Good luck -
All of my other programs will open in Creative Cloud but whenever I try After Effects I get that error messaged. I have everything updated and I have tried uninstalling and installing again but I still get the same error message.
Your AE is not up to date. 12.0 will not work on OSX 10.9.3
Mavericks broke some things.
You need the latest update to CC which is 12.2.1.5 (although they're releasing another update later this month).
Although, technically you don't need the latest update as the 12.0.1 update made AE work with Mavericks -
I keep getting this message. What do I do? You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto.

I had ff3, but I upgraded to ff4. But in process of upgrading to ff4 I almost 70 times of dragging from ff simbol to applications, I am so tired of repeating it, So I stopped. and as last step I dragged ff simbol from appplication to side ff simbol. Next day I tried re-download over it, But it happen same thing, it says "you cannot use application"firefox. app" with this version of Mac OS X."
Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

You can't use this version of mail
Last night I updated my system software to OS X 10.7.5 from 10.7.4 and all the other programs in Software Update, including Java.
For some reason I have 2 versions of Mail on the computer, 5.3 and 5.2 due to a faulty backup in the past
Now I can't open the version of Mail which was working yesterday instead getting this message
You can't use this version of mail
You tried to open Mail version 5.2 (1278/1283)
How can I resolve this?OK that worked.
I now have 5.3 open but there is no main window and some of the functions aren't working.
When I looked in Preferences>Accounts there is just a blank window.
If I open a new message there is nothing in the sender drop down box and no signature.
Looks like I've lost my connection with my account.
I can still get the messages in Safari.
So getting closer, how do I reconnect with my Mail Account.
