Can't use safari w/this version of OSX?? OSX 10.5.1/Safari 3.04

worked fine on my powerbook g4 before installing Leopard yesterday.
now, with leopard, i get that message..."can't use the application safari w/this version of OSX" what's up??
the same versions (10.5.1/3.04) work fine on my imac g5
software update thinks all's fine and i can't find a downloadable version of Safari on the apple site except for windoze. jeeeze! come on guys, how about a little mac support??

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Are you certain you are trying to open v 3.0.4? Make sure you don't have multiple Safari versions installed on your machine. Enter Safari.app in your spotlight panel. If multiples show up, move to the trash the 2.0.4 version.
In necessary: Reinstalling Safari 3.0.4 - Insert the Leopard Installer DVD. Double Click on the "Optional Installs". Then double click on the Optional Installs.mpkg file. Once open the Installer will lead you through a few steps. After selecting your HD, the next panel is where you'll find Safari (in the Applications folder). Select it and continue.
Once Safari is installed, "repair permissions" again via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.

Cannot use Chess with this version of Mac OSX...?

When I first installed Leopard, Chess (the Apple app) worked fine. Now, after updating to 10.5.1 I get a message saying I can't use it with this version of OSX when I try to open it. Any idea why? Can I get Chess back? Is it just me?

Obviously some little glitch, but now it's working fine. Just wish I could beat it occasionally. Still, hope lies eternal...
It is likely that in the Dock, you had a pointer to the pre-Leopard version of Chess left over from an upgrade or archive & install, so that version was trying to launch from the Dock. "Get Info" tells me that Leopard's Chess is version 2.3 & it even has a checkbox for "Open in 32 bit mode" -- something I haven't seen before.
If you have any other similar Dock-related glitches, use the "Show in Finder" Dock menu option to find the app & see if it looks like a Tiger "leftover."

Since I updated to Firefox 8 on Mac OSX 10.4.11, Firefox will not open anymore (not even previous versions downloaded via Safari). I get the error message 'You cannot use Firefox with this version of Mac OSX' (translated from Dutch).

I have tried creating a new profile, problem remains the same.
None of the 3 accounts on this desktop can use Firefox anymore. This has never been a problem. Today (14.11.11) I updated Firefox to 8, and nothing anymore. Via Safari I downloaded Firefox 7 to reinstall, same error message.

Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (which you do have) '''''and''''' OSX 10.5 or higher (your version is OSX 10.4).

The good news is that Firefox 3.6.24 still supports OSX 10.4 and Macs with the PPC Mac architecture. The bad news is that support for the Firefox 3.6.x series is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.

"YOU CANNOT USE THIS APPLICATION SAFARI WITH THIS VERSION OF MAC OS X"

hi, just downloaded the update for mac 10.5.1 - all went well - then tried to open Safari and received this message "YOU CANNOT USE THIS APPLICATION SAFARI WITH THIS VERSION OF MAC OS X" - I have tried downloading Safari again through netscape but that does not seem to work either - ANY IDEAS???? Thanks

It sounds likely that you have more than one copy of Safari on your hard drive. The one in your Applications folder is the one you should have. The one you're trying to launch is an older version that somehow got moved somewhere else, so that the new version got installed in your Applications folder (where it should be) while the old version is running (or trying to run) from another location.
First, double-click on the Safari application file that you have in your Applications folder. Does it run properly, without error messages? If so, everything is fine. You just need to get rid of the old version of Safari and set it up so you can easily launch the new version that is in your Applications folder.
Are you clicking on the Safari icon in your Dock when you see the error message? If so, do this: Control-click on the Safari icon in your Dock and select "Show in Finder" from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open showing the location of that copy of Safari. If that Finder window is any location other than the Applications folder, delete the Safari file that is in that folder. Then drag the Safari icon out of your Dock. Navigate to your Applications folder and drag the Safari file from the Applications folder to your Dock.
You should be all set, but click on the new Safari icon in your Dock to make sure it is the correct version and runs without problems.

I tried installing Iphoto it said it was downloaded successfully. I still get the error messafe, and can not open any photos of program, any suggestions?

What version of iPhoto do you have on the Macbook and on the iMac? What systems are you running on the Macbook and on the iMac?
Does the message only refer to "a problem" or does it specify what it is?

Safari is part of OS X and isn't available as a separate download. How did you get a newer version than the one that comes with Lion?

ICloud was working fine, suddenly when I try to sync I get this message "you can't use icloud when multiple versions of outlook are installed". I only have one version of outlook installed. Any suggestions?

Cannot use Safari with this version of OSX??

I recenlty installed Leopard on my G5 (pre-Intel but with 2GB). I have iLife 08 and Safari 3.
On one of the Account windows I get the message that "You cannot use the application Safari with this version of Mac OS X".
It works fine on my (administrator) account.
Any thoughts on this one please.
BTW, it is my children's account and I have some (but not stringent) parental controls.

Alternatively, see the steps I posted for resolving conflicts/corrupt plists within an account at:

I've lost half of my icons such as calculator, fonts, chess, automator,ichat,ical it it saying that you can use this version with the OSX. You have version 4.04. And, there is no way to update them. What do you do?

If I'm understanding you correctly, those apps have stopped working and you are getting a message saying that they won't work with this version of Mac OS X when you try to open them. Is that right? If so, have you moved those apps out of their original locations? That is a bad idea, as it prevents them from being properly updated. If this is what has happened, what version of the system were you running before they stopped working, and what version are you running now, after installing the update that has made them stop working?

Disk utility "You can't use this version of the application Disk Utility with this version of Mac OSX. You have Disk Utility 12.1"

I use mountain lion 10.8.1
I try start disk utility it only says: "You can't use this version of the application Disk Utility with this version of Mac OSX. You have Disk Utility 12.1"

To do a Reinstall of the OS boot to the Recovery HD, Command+r key at startup, then select Reinstall Mac OS X. the files will be downloaded from the internet and then the instal will begin.
With Mt Lion it is also available from the Mac App store in your Purchases area. You may be able to download it and then nmanually starting the install while booted to Mt Lion.
But I'd normally use the Recovery HD as that takes the installed OS out of the picture.

Can I use more than one version of Adobe Reader on an iPad, 8.1 touch and 11.1

Can I use more than one version of Adobe Reader on an iPad adobe Reader Touch and Reader 11.1 . . I use Acrobat XI Pro although I had some old files that were stored on adobe.com from a prior version of acrobat 9 student edition.
I guess the same question for my Surface Pro2 Computer might apply, although I gather from what I read that you shouldn't have two versions of reader on a computer.

If I may add a qualification: on a device running full Windows 8, you may have both Adobe Reader Touch and Adobe Reader (normal desktop edition). This does not apply to the primitive devices which cannot run desktop apps (running "Windows RT"), and while I may be wrong, I believe that the Surface 2 is such a device.

Gotta love Google.
More helpful than Adobe so far.
Note: Clicking on the link below will immediately open the download dialogue box.

I used this download to install, and the Installer was flawless.
Thanks everyone who contributed ideas and potential solutions.

I have a US Mac living in the UK. I tried to download both the British and American version. Both state "You cannot use the application Firefox with this version of MAC OSX". Any suggestions how to proceed?

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 which works on OS X 10.4 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
