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.

    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.

  • TS1572 you can use this version of the application mail with this version of mac osx

    Cannot use this version" alert appears when opening application mail with this version of mac OS X, we seem to have lost our mail and now we get this message.

    Make sure the 4.5 only is in the /Applications folder alone and not inside any enclosing folder, then run the update again. /Applications is inside the main Macintosh HD folder, not in your Home Folder, if you even have one there. Move the other Mail to the Trash for now, but don't empty it yet.
    Link for the update.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1586
    If that doesn't work, move both Mails to the Trash (don't empty yet) and run both updates, the 10.6.8 Combo update (the link for that is in the Apple article) and then the Security update again.

    "You have Mail version 4.2 (1078/1081). It can't be used on Mac OSX Version 10.6.4 ( Build 10F569)."
    I attempt to open Mil on my new MacBook Pro disk and I get this message I did a software update and still the same. Any suggestions. I have re-loaded the Mail app from the CD and this is still happening.

    Insert your Snow Leopard Installer Disc, open the Optional Installs folder and double-click on the Optional Install.mpkg file. You will find a list of applications you can reinstall including Mail. Reinstall Mail then run the 10.6.4 Combo Updater that you can download from support.apple.com/downloads/.

  • I downloaded Firefox 4 and tried to launch it. The message said that Firefox will not work with this version of Mac OX. Please advise.

    I downloaded Firefox 4 and installed it. When I tried to launch it, a message came up saying that Firefox will not work with this version of Mac OSX. Now I have no Firefox. How can I get Firefox 3.6 back on my Mac? How can I make Firefox 4.0 work? Please advise.

    Thanks for the reply so quickly! Is the tenfourfox going to be be just as safe and as high of quality as the Firefox 4? Also since Mozilla's website says, "Firefox 3.6.x will be maintained with security and stability updates for a short amount of time. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to Firefox 4" does that mean if I go back to 3.6 there will be security and stability issues after a "short amount of time"?

    Hi,
    Adobe won't be developing for 10.5.8 new features (including new runtime) only security relates updates for existing runtimes (Flash 10.3.*/Air 2.7.*). Flash 11/Air 3.0 are only supported on 10.6.8.*/10.7.*, see:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/916/cpsid_91694.html#main_system_requirements
    There is recent,  lengthy thread on forums with Adobe's employees statements on that subject (support/development for 10.5.* and newer) but I cannot find it quickly as basically forum search is broken/hard to do,
    regards,

  • You Cannot Use This Version of iMovie With This Version of Mac OS X

    Yes, I can. iMovie just doesn't want to cooperate. I checked the requirements, it says:
    an Intel-based Mac, a Power Mac G5 with dual 2.0 GHz or faster processors, or an iMac G5 at 1.9 GHz or faster.
    Well, I meet the requirements, I have an iMac G5 with 2.0 GHz, also with Leopard.
    Why can't I use iMovie.
