  • When i try to open the iPhoto app, i getting a message "you can't open the application because it is not supported on this type of mac"

    when i try to open the iPhoto app, i getting a message "you can't open the application because it is not supported on this type of mac"

    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.

    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.

  • Can't open the application because it is not supported?

    I tried to download photo shop but after it was downloaded and tried to open it, it said "You can’t open the application “Adobe Photoshop CC” because it’s not supported on this type of Mac." Can someone please help?

    Hi steverl1,
    This error message means that Photoshop CC you have is not compatible with your Mac.
    You can check the system requirements from this link

    If your mac has a core duo processor then it will not support 64-bit apps the processor for your Mac should be core 2 duo.

  • Firefox can't open the application "because it is not supported on this architecture

    "You cannot open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture."

    Thanks for the link to the system requirements, edmeister. However, my system appears to fit every requirements listed, but still gives the same error message.
    Here is what my system profiler tells me about my Imac:
    Mac OS X v. 10.5.8
    Processor: 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, which Wikipedia tells me is "x86" processor
    3 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    My Activity Monitor says:
    1.87 GB of my system memory free
    303 GB of hard disk space free
    Is there some explanation why I am being told Firefox 4 is not being supported on this architecture?

  • Director PowerPC processors (PPC ) can't open the application because it is "not supported on this a

    I created a projector in Adobe Director 11.5 for the Mac.
    For some reason PowerPC processors (PPC ) can't open it because they received a message saying the application is "not supported on this architecture."
    And idea if there is a way to make projectors compatible for the Mac PPC processors?
    Thanks,

    Check your product version by typing "put the productVersion" into the message panel - if you don't get the response "11.5.9" then update the to latest patch by selecting the Update option from Director's Help menu. (I suspect you already are on 11.5.9, though, otherwise you wouldn't get this problem).
    Next, go to the Publish Settings page, and under the projector tab you will notice an option to create the Mac projector as either a "Universal Binary" or an "Intel Binary"
    Universal Binary will run natively on PPC Macs, and will run under Rosetta on Intel Macs running up-to-and-including OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
    Intel Binary will run on all Intel Macs running OSX 10.5 and upwards.
    Rosetta is a virtualisation layer built into OSX versions up to 10.6; It allows programs written for PPC to run on Intel Macs. Rosetta was dropped from OSX 10.7 (Lion), so a UB projector won't work on Lion.
    Hope that helps

    I've read your recommended work around, that said to trash all previous versions of Firefox, I've done so and now have no browser other than Safari.

  • I can't open firefox 4 because it's "not supported on this architecture"

    I'm using MacOS 10.5 on an eMac (Power), had used Firefox before without any problem. I looked at the other questions and found an explanation: Firefox 4 on a Mac requires the Intel processor.
    So, it can't work. You should have warned me, but now my old Firefox is gone. I have nothing, I'm stranded.
    All I'm asking is: let me download an older version of Firefox

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

  • Why is it that everytime I try to download Firefox 4 my Adobe reader can't open it because it is a damaged file? Because of this I am not able to download it. Not sure I want to since I see so many other people having problems with it.

    I will start the process of downloading Firefox 4 and then get the message that my Adobe Reader can't open the file because it is damaged or sent through an e mail. I was not in my e mail when I tried to download the update. This isn't the first time that this has happened. I gave up downloading updates in the past just because I would encounter this same problem.

    When you start the download, are you chooseing Save or Run?

  • I may have inadvertantly downloaded to Firefox 5 instead of 4 and can not open the application because it is not supported. Can I still download Firefox 4, which I intended to do?

    I wanted to upgrade from Firefox 3 to Firefox 4. But, after I completed the download and then tried to open the Firefox application, I received a pop-up message saying, "You cannot open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture." Is it possible that I may have inadvertantly downloaded Firefox 5? I do not think that my system will support
    Firefox 5. I am not a techie, so I very much appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you.

       "You can't open the application Safari because it is not supported on this type of Mac."
    I vaguely remember some capability to rollback any updates. Is this true?
    Where should I go from here?

    First you need to clear out some space on the startup volume. You should have at least 9 GB available. Then do as follows.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.
