Can't open the application "Adobe Illustrator CS6.app" because it is not supported...
UPDATE - Ahhh haaaa! If I log in with the guest account Illustrator works fine! WTF!? Oh well, at least I have a direction to be working towards, thanks for all the suggestions and assistance Adobe Community!
That was sarcasm by the way...
UPDATE - Just installed the latest Illustrator update from Adobe - still not loading. Tried reseting the iMac's PRAM, no luck.
UPDATE - I've just reinstalled the whole CS6 Suite, and the only things that have changed are that I now have a little white no entry sign over Illustrator (it still won't load) and I also have 1.5GB of application updates to do
I don't have any direct evidence but I'm guessing this is a Mavericks incompatibility judging by the other issues people are having with Illustrator. Any suggestions are welcome!
I've been using CS6 on my iMac for the past year (3.2GHz Intel Core i5, 32GB ram). Everything running fine, no problems.
Then I get the popup from Apple saying to upgrade to Mavericks, so I did. After updating my Java version, for the next two weeks everything carried on running fine. Until just now.
I finished working on an Illustrator file, saved it and then exited, only to remember I needed to make one more small change. So I clicked on the AI icon and got this error message;
'You can’t open the application “Adobe Illustrator CS6.app” because it is not supported on this type of Mac.' Eh???
I tried doing a reboot thinking that maybe something had just gone wonkey and needed resetting. Still no luck. So I reinstalled Java again. Nope. Then I tried every other CS6 app and they all ran fine.
Does anyone know what could cause Illustrator CS6 to be working fine for weeks and then suddenly become an unsupported app? These things always happen with you're right up against a deadline! I NEED ILLUSTRATOR WORKING NOW! HEEEEEELLLLLLLPPPP!
JamesI had the same issue and resolved it
I first remove the prefs folder and the plist files for illustrator in ~/Libary
next I logged off,
then I uninstalled illustrator using the adobe uninstaller(http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html)
Next I reinstall illstrator
after that it worked for me. -
i am a OS10.7.4 user. yesterday i bought a Lacie external hard disk but error message appear said " You cant open the applicant LaCie setup assistant because PowerPC applicants are no longer support". please help me how to connect my mac with Lacie??
You do not need the Setup Assistant; in fact, you do not need any software on an external hard drive. I have two LaCie's; I erased the drive as soon as I plugged it in. You will need to format it anyway because most hard drives come Windows formatted. So, if you only want to use it with the Mac, highlight it in Disk Utility and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format and the GUID Partition scheme under Options. While doing that, it will erase the drive (and get rid of the LaCie software) - once finished, your drive is ready to use for Time Machine or any other backup plans you have for it.

A day or two ago I went through installing Adobe InDesign CS4 on Leopard OS X.5.8. After what appears to be a successful installati
on, in launching InDesign CS4 the message " You can't open the application "Adobe InDesign CS4" because it is not supported on this
architecture" comes up". Calling in to support and speaking with the agent who read through previous posts, suggested to me that I
should try the same fix that has been suggested when I ran across an error when installing Adobe InDesign CS4 on another separate ha
rd drive externally connected to this computer running Snow Leopard OS X.6.1 for the error reading: "Damaged &/or incomplete install
ation" when launching afterwards. The support technician told me to first delete with the uninstall Adobe InDesign CS4, InDesign.
Following this I am told to run the CS4 Cleanup Utility. I restart the computer each and every time after running each of the utili
ties. Now I am told to install InDesign as a trial version from the DVD and after installation to go ahead & enter the serial numbe
r. When launching InDesign CS4 after installation got back the same error as before: "You can't open the application "Adobe InDesig
n CS4" because it is not supported on this architecture" comes up". Followed KB404711 article and no success. What else can be don
e to fix this issue?
This morning contacted Adobe Support regarding this response:
After having a detailed reserach on your issue i acme to the conclusion
that the problem you are having is not related to Adobe software but its
in fact related to your MAC version ( OSX-5.8). While reseraching your
issue i came across
to many forums where a lot of postings were about the similar error but
with different products the only comon thing was all the Errors were
with Mac machine , also when you check the system requirements for
Adobe Indesign Cs4
by going to the following link
http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/systemreqs/?promoid=DRHXE you
will find the Mac OS version supported are from Mac OS X
v10.4.11–10.5.4. but we do support Snow Leoprad , so i would like
to advise to you to either contact your system manufacturer or upgrade
to Snow Leopard ( mac os x 10.6)
I have been told that my case is being sent to Level 2 agents and that it can take 24-48 hours for a response. In the meantime I decided to see what the Support Forums can do for me. Until then I am down. Thanks for the help.In the application folder there is a folder 'Adobe InDesign CS4' within which there is just the application file. I would expect there should be more file there??
I've un-installed and installed again - still the same.
Even downloaded the dmg again and done thwe whole thing over again. -
I installed Lion 10.7.4. Went to use Photoshop Cs and got a popup window. You can't open the application Adobe Photoshop CS because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. Is there a way of getting this to work or do I have to get newest version of all of my Power PC apps?
Welcome to Apple Communities
PowerPC applications are unsupported in newer versions. You can upgrade Photoshop or you can install Snow Leopard in a partition.
1. Open Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities) and select your drive
2. Go to Partitions tab, press + button, create a new partition and press Apply
3. Insert the Snow Leopard install DVD and reboot pressing C key
4. Install it in the new partition
5. If you want to change boot, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk and select 10.7 -
I'm trying to install CS2 on a mac OS X version 10.9.4. When I try to open the installer file I get a message "You can't open the application Adobe Installer because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. Does anyone know what I should do?
It means what it says - it's not compatible with modern Macs. You need to buy a current version.

You can't open the application Adobe Photoshop CS5 because it may be damaged or incomplete
Hi all,
I have installed Adobe cs5 and all the other programs (indesign etc etc) work but when I try to open photoshop it says:
"You can't open the application Adobe Photoshop CS5.app because it may be damaged or incomplete"
I am a noob, I first installed it but it was in polish, couldn't work out how to change the language but entered into the program without problems so I deleted, redownloaded and reinstalled and it said the above. I deleted, redownloaded and reinstalled again but it didn't help.
What else can I do? again, I am a noob to all of this (and Macs) so Idiots Guide to Fixing your Photoshop CS5" Would be fantastic!!
Many thanks
ChelseaChelsea,
Your big (as in HUGE) mistake was in deleting the application instead of using the Adobe uninstaller.
Look for the CS5Clean script at the Adobe site, download it and run it according to the instrructions.
Good luck.

You can't open the application Adobe Flash CS4.app because it may be damaged or incomplete.
Can someone help me with that one ? When I am trying to run Flash after install I get this error message:

I tried to uninstall and reinstall, same error. I couldn't launch under Leopard (10.5.x) either.
Thanks
EricHere’s some updates.
I can not uninstall Flash (CS4) using "Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium". It looks like Flash is not installed.
If I try to install it using the disk, it looks like Flash is not installed at all. So I go thrue the installation process, and follow the instructions, until it’s complete.
But if I go in my App folder, and look in the Adobe Flash CS4 folder the Flash.app icon has a circle with a bar in it. This is when I get the message. -
You can't open the application "Adobe InDesign CC 2014" because it is not responding.
For some reason InDesign has decided to stop responding. Acts like it wants to launch but then does nothing. When I try to launch it from the Finder rather than the Dock, I receive this message:
You can’t open the application “Adobe InDesign CC 2014” because it is not responding.
Please advise.Wild guess here, but the installers are known to fail to set the correct permissions on the preference folders. See Cant launch new inDesign CC | Adobe Community and substitute Version 10 where you see Version 9.

Just updated to OS X 10.8.5 - and got "You can't open the application Adobe Photoshop CC..."
The full message is "You can't open the application Adobe Photoshop CC because it's not supported on this type of Mac." - why ?
I notice people had the issue back in June, but this after the new point update for Photoshop CC - the update was OK but I can't access the program and it's regularly used.It's OK now - but seems that it was tied in with the .5 OS X update for any future reference !!!!

I just upgraded to photoshop 6 and i cannot install because i am getting a message that reads "You can’t open the application “Install Adobe Photoshop® 6.0” because it may be damaged or incomplete".
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?you probably have an incomplete/corrupt download.
to confirm check the file size against the expected file size.
then re-download perhaps with a different browser.

"You can't open the application [application name] because it may be damaged or incomplete"
I just wiped a Macbook Pro and freshly installed OS 10.6.3.(since ran updates to 10.6.8) I installed Adobe CS4 and when you try to open InDesign, bridge or Illustrator you get the error message:
"You can't open the application [application name] because it may be damaged or incomplete" The Icon to each of these three also have crossed out symbol over them.
I have done this whole process twice, the 2nd time I used a different Adobe Install CD and a different license, same result.
Photoshop and Acrobat work fine. What happened to these three?I am having a simular problem with cs5.5 Dreamweaver.

You can't open the application "..." because it is not supported on this type of Mac.
I migrated all files from OS 10.7 to OS 10.8 through time machine. However, I always see error packages like the following if I want to run some .pkg files.
You can't open the application "..." because it is not supported on this type of Mac.
But when I switch to a different account, then the .pkg files can be run. Therefore, I think that there might be something wrong with my account configuration files. But I don't know which one. Does anybody which one might cause the problem and how to fix it? Thanks!softwater wrote:
And both are on the same startup disk, right? Because, to be honest, it's hard to figure out how you could have this problem with both accounts on the same startup disk, so I just want to check that before we get too involved.
Assuming that's the case, the first thing I'd do is remove all those except Dropbox from the list, then restart the mac and test for the problem. If that doesn't solve it, run this free analytical tool and post the results back here so we can see if anything stands out:

Error: "You can't open the application....because it may be damaged or incomplete"
I just wiped a Macbook Pro and freshly installed OS 10.6.3.
I installed CS4 and when you try to open InDesign or Illustrator you get the error message:
"You can't open the application (InDesign or Illustrator) because it may be damaged or incomplete"
Photoshop and Acrobat work fine. What happened to these two?
The Icon to each of these two also have crossed out symbol over them.This must really be a mystery. Nearly nothing found using Google. There seems to be a similar problem with iPhoto that happens and get this error message but no many solutions.
Anyone out there have any suggestions?
