Cannot use program, not supported by architecture? I have a MacBook running 10.5 and have a Snow Leopard upgrade disk to 10.6.3, and that is the error message that I keep getting as to why my update won't install.
I have a MacBook that I am trying to upgrade to Snow Leopard so that I may upgrade it then to Lion to make better use of my iPad and some of the n we tools that Apple has made available in Lion. I have checked and double checked that my MacBook meets the hardware expectations, and it does exceed the ones for Snow Leopard. however, every time that I try to run the install disk it tells me that the program is not supported by the current architecture. I have even tried to backend the processes by opening the install folder with "View Package Contents" option, but it still gives the same error message! Someone please help!
Obtain one of these Snow Leopard DVDs instead. They are not expensive.
To get one, there are some details at this link.

Every time i want to sign in to my account i receive the error message that i need to contact itune support
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Did you follow the instructions in the message and contact Apple, which you can do through iTunes Store Support. If Apple have asked you to contact them, then the issue can only be resolved by them. -
I've deleted Adobe Reader 11 and rebooted and reinstalled Adobe Reader 11 and I still get the error message that 'Adobe Reader is blocked because it is out of date'. Using Windows XP with the latest updates (SP3).
Screenshots attached to email replies will not make it back to the forum; you need to login to the forum and post it in your topic using the camera icon in the editor.
Google Chrome is a problem:
if you use Chrome's own PDF viewer, the results are unpredictable.
if you use the Adobe Reader plugin with Chrome, it may reject (block) it if it is not the latest version. Reader 11.0.08 is the latest version for Windows XP, but Chrome may insist on the current version 11.0.10.
My suggestion; use a different browser! -
I purchased Elements 13. When I tried to install it I get the error message that it is not supported by Vista. What do I do now?
If you can't install Windows 7 or higher or get a new computer with Windows 7 or higher, you won't be able to run Photoshop Elements 13.
There are many inexpensive refurbished or "off lease" computers available at very reasonable cost. Here is one example (scroll down):

When I tried to use my saved credit card, I made an error & it didn't work. Now, although the error is corrected, I keep getting a message that the card is declined. Can I fix this, or will the error time out?
Hello KGDJ,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
When there is a mismatch between the iTunes Store's records and your credit card company's records, you will receive an error message
For more information on this, take a look at:
iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1646
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.
Best of luck,

How do i restore my iphone when it has been disabled and cannot be restored through itunes because of the error message that says "The iphone software update server could not be contacted
Have you jailbroken this device? This will make the iPhone not talk to the Software Update Server (that signs and accepts software updates) please refer to the following link? Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
The iPhone will talk to the software update servers, just need to change the host files, it's a simple process, sorry if you were confused about the wording in to top? -
When trying to open a word document, I get the error message that PowerPC applications are no longer supported. What can I do?
Thanks.IMHO the free apps are a band aid fix. If the OP uses Office on a regular basis he will need to upgrade anyway. Personally I have used neooffice and found it substandard however that was just my take. I haven't tried Google's solution.
We both forgot to mention the OP could also use Pages and Numbers to open their Word and Excel files. If he uses Entourage then Mail and iCal would be viable substitutes. -
Why now do I get the error message that states Firefox can't find the server at ......
Majority of times when I search for a particular web site I get the error message that states that "Firefox cannot find the server at ... " (site I am looking for)
I still have the problem although I uninstalled Mozilla (clearing the cache didn't work and neither did Word diagnostics), so have ended up thinking it could be Norton (the manual update worked x1) or Windows. Today I found an answer: disable the preview pane in Windows Explorer - there's a history of problems with this view.

I can no longer charge my iPhone5 through either of my macbook pros. I get the error message that a USB device is using too much power. Can anyone help?
I reconnected the original powered hub that I thought probably caused the problem and this time it shut down the whole computer. When I rebooted everything now works perfectly. The system reset. I tried another powered hub and it didn't have the same effect so the old one is heading for the bin and with fingers crossed all systems are now working perfectly. Trying to reset PRAM or reset the SMC didn't work but causing the same power issue did. Thanks for your input though. It did get me to think what was the original cause.
Cheers

I cant use my iphone because I'm getting the error message that I must connect to Itunes and when I do it says the only option I have is to restore my phone.
Try using RecBoot or TinyUmbrella to kick it out of Recovery mode.

I have a MacBook pro version 10.6.7 with snow leopard. After an scheduled software upgrade I could not open Quicken (It said it could not open the files). Now I can only open it if I have my external drive on. Can you help?
All the information that I had input on Quicken is gone. I have to have the external hard drive that I use to back up to be able to use quicken now. It is as if it was erased from the laptop hardriveTry repairing permissions. My favorite way is with a utility called AppleJack. Info and download here. It's free. It only works when you boot in Single User Mode. When restarting or booting, hold down the Command key and S keys.
You will get a very different startup screen that looks like the Terminal app has hijacked the screen. Just let the lines of text scroll by. When that happens you will get a text entry prompt. Type in "AppleJack" without the quotation marks.
A DOS looking menu will appear. Choose 1 or d to run Disk Repair. If you get a message that Disk Repair found and corrected errors, run it again. Repeat until you get the "your disk appears to be ok" message. This rarely happens with my experience, though. This does the same thing as as booting from an external drive and running Disk Utility's repair. Only, no external drive is required!
Next, choose 2 or p to repair disk permissions. This will take a little while. AppleJack warns that it will take up to an half hour to run repair permissions. It'n never taken more than about ten minutes for my MacBook Pro.
As permissions are repaired, you will see each repair scroll on the screen. When done, the menu returns, choose q to quit. Then at the prompt, enter "exit" without the quotes. Your MacBook Pro should restart into Mac OS normally after this.
Hope this helps. -
While trying to instal Mountain Lion OS on my macbook pro, I got the error message that my HD was damaged and it reverted to my Lion OS. Why does this happen? I bought the OS online through the app store.
The Mountain Lion installer looks at your internal drive to make certain that it's error-free before continuing installation. You should have an application named "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app" in your Applications folder now so you shouldn't have to download it again. Do this...
Boot to your Lion recovery partition by holding down both the Command and the R keys while booting. Open Disk Utility from the Recovery partition and select your hard drive (usually named "Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it) and click on Verify Disk. If you come up with any errors, click on Repair Disk. At the end of the cycle you will get a message that the disk was successfully repaired or a message that the hard drive could not be repaired.
If you're able to repair the disk, just reboot as normal and open the "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app" and the installation will proceed. If Disk Utility was unable to repair the disk, you need to get to your local Apple Store as soon as possible so that they can see if the disk is salvageable or beyond repair.
Good luck,
Clinton
