Adobe doesn't support this type of Mac?
Old pdf files won't open since Mac OS X (10..4) installed on my old MacBook & a MacMini. Suggestions?
How do they not open?
What are you opening them with? Apple Preview or Adobe Acrobat/Reader? Is the result the same in both apps?
It's a very strange problem because PDF is built into Mac OS X! You should not need any Adobe software to read them.
(Missing fonts should not matter, they should open anyway. Especially if the PDF maker embedded the fonts, which many do.)

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:

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:

Photoshop CS6 is not supported on this type of Mac (2012 MacBook Air)
Photoshop won’t launch on the latest MacBook Air 2012, OS 10.8.2, i7, 8GB. Installed the Adobe CS6 (Design/Web). All products work fine (although had to downgrade to Java6 to start Dreamweaver) but the PS icon is greyed out. When launching Photoshop CS6, I’m getting: You can’t open the application “Adobe Photoshop CS6” because it is not supported on this type of Mac”.
No idea what happend. I was installing the CS6 suite on a brand new MBAir. All software was fine, eg, DW, InDesign and so on. Only Photoshop failed. One strange thing was that the MBAir has Java 7 but when launching DW it asked me to install "newer" Java version (?). I did the SMC/PRAM reset. Then uninstalling and installing PS solved the issue.

Dreamweaver CS5 is not Supported on This Type of Mac
I recently got a new iMac and went to reinstal my CS5 Web Premium Student Edition and only installed Dreamweaver. I was able to use it yesterday fine. Today when I booted up. the dreamweaver icon has a anti symbol over it and says "you can't open the application "Adobe Dreamweaver CS5" because it is not supported on this type of mac."
What went wrong and what do I need to do to fix it? Thanks!I am running OSx 10.9 and I do not see anything about Roseta or Intel when viewing the info about the app. After I used DW yesterday fine, I ran the auto updates from within DW and perhaps when I rebooted this morning is when it broke. I just now uninstalled CS5 and reinstalled DW (I'm not using the other apps). It has updates to do but scared..
It wants to update the following:
Adobe Device Central CS
Adove Dreamweaver
- Adobe player
- CS Live Service
- Dreamweaver CS5 11.0.4 updater
- Adobe Extension Manager CS5 5.0 update
I haven't tried yet to update because either that or some other stange thing happened. I've never seen an app with an anti symbol over it. -
CS6 After update, "not supported on this type of Mac."
Hi
On a fresh install of 10.6, I installed CS6 master collection. It was working fine till I ran the update and now it wont open but brings up the message "Not Supported on this type of mac".
I've tried it on 3 different machines, and I can remember having the same issue with CS5.5, but thought the upgrade to CS6 may resolve it. We need to have 10.6 on our machines as other software requires it. Is there another solution?
Thanks
http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2287095How old is your Mac? if it is about 2006 or 2007, then it is considering to be painfully aging in days of Internet age.
That is the reason why I suggested - latest newest computer is highly recommended. Yes, I know it is expensive to invest. But the trade-off is that you get most out of more efficiency and faster workaround with fastest, new computers. I usually buy new laptop and Mac Pro every two years. My new current Mac Pro has 32 gb, a 12-core Intel processors. Loved it. Same with MacBook Pro 17 unibody - in about six months, I'll buy new MacBook Pro.. as far as I understand that Apple no longer offer 17" laptop. But that is ok.
The point is that it is a good idea to keep computer equipments to current as much as possible. It makes a lot sense. Because I use MacPro every day for my job with different hats role dealing with different responsibilities and functions and operating few businesses all together.
Anyway.. just some thought and some two cent tips and advice.
You might wonder why I had mentioned 'have a read' on Tech Specs FIRST before buying any kind apps. I had seen some issues for some customers - little did some of them know that they had 'aged' computer that doesn't meet the latest software's tech requirement. It is unfortunate situation when they realized that after they made a huge investment into software.
Not that I am assuming that you didn't see or read the Tech Spec requirement. Just a suggestion is all I can say. Hopefully this helps to clear up something...
Hope that things works out ok for you to run Dreamweaver app on your laptop. How big is your RAM memory? If it is only two, I suggest double it.
Best!

Photoshop-not supported on this type of Mac-Late 2011 MacBook Pro
Photoshop refuses to open on my computer, a late 2011 model MacBook Pro. This particular computer is running OSX 10.8.3, has a 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, and 8 GB of RAM.
When I try to open it, I receieve a "not supported on this type of Mac" error. What's going on here? Creative Cloud is basically useless if it won't work such a recent computer.Does your Mac have a 64-bit processor?

CS6 Dreamweaver "Not Supported on this type of mac"
Hello All,
I have a new Macbook Pro w/ retina display. I recently bought Dreamweaver CS6 to complement Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 versions. I am running OS X 10.8.1 and Dreamweaver seems to run fine as does Photoshop and Illustrator. After installing the newest Dreamweaver update, it no longer works and gives the error ...Not Supported on this type of mac. I have seen this thread posted with regard to older OS versions but am unsatisfied with any responses and perplexed as my mac is brand new.
GeoKevinGeo, unfortunately, this is turning into a major problem although no one has figured out a solution. Keeping pressing Adobe support. I have a Mac but don't have this problem but you are not alone:

Can't open LR4, not supported on this type of Mac
I just successfully installed LR4, however, it won't open the application because it says it is not supported on this type of Mac. I have a Intel MacBook Pro, OS 10.6.8, with 2 GB RAM, and enough HD space to load and run. I already have LR3 installed and it's up to date. What gives?
Arnold you are certainly welcome to return the product. You can find the process for submitting a refund request at Return, change Adobe orders | North America - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/return-change-orders-north-america.html.
I have a similar issue with my personal MacBook Pro as it is using an Intel Core 2 Duo at 2.33 ghz. While it can run 64-bit applications I am not able to run Snow Leopard in 64-bit mode without doing unsupported, by Apple, modifications to the OS.
You might also find this document useful 64-bit OS and Adobe applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/64-bit-os-applications.html and it might help explain why we are transitioning many of our applications to 64-bit. It is especially useful for applications which can make use of a lot of memory such as image editing and video editing/processing applications. -

Had a recent crash on my macbook, was previously using OS 10.6 I think. Restored from recent Time Machine backup and updated to OS 10.8.2 and now I cannot open Logic Pro 9. I get a 'No entry' Icon and a not supported on this type of Mac message. I cannot update either as anything up to 9.1.1 tells me I don't need it yet 9.1.2 tells me I need an eligable Logic Pro Version was not found in applications.
All of my files are stored in a separate hard drive with only the actual app having been on my Macbook. Should I just reinstall?Hi
To run Mouitain Lion you need to update Logic.
For the updaters to work the Logic application must be:
a) Within the Applications folder, and not in any sub-folder
b) Named "Logic Pro" with no extra numbers or spaces

I just downloaded the new Mavericks operating sytem on my mid 2010 MacBook Pro, 17" 2.53GHz, Intel Core I5 machine. My IPhoto is no longer working at all, I'm getting an error message that says - "You Can't open the application "IPhoto" because it is not supported on this type of Mac". I also loaded Mavericks onto my other MacBook Pro 17", mid 2009 model and everything works fine. I would think that the newer Mac would easily work with IPhoto. Also, when I try to download from the App Store, it asks for my Apple ID and Password, I enter it, and then the little spinning color wheel just spins forever, with nothing ever happening. I tried downloading the IPhoto Upgrade but it never actually downloads, HELP!!!
What version of iPhoto do you have installed? Is if one of the versions shown as not compatible in this screenshot?
If it is then go to the App Store and download iPhoto 9.5. It will be free if you have an iPhoto 9 or later verson currently.

I recently upgraded my MacBook from Moutain Lion to Maverick.After upgrading I can not open the iPhoto.Whenever I try to open I get the message --You can't open the application "iPhoto" because it is not supported on this type of Mac.Tell me how to solve the problem?
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
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 or later 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.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always. -
