Cannot use this version of the application with this version of MAC OSX

When I try to download the new beta, I get a message that says: cannot use this version of the application with this version of MAC OSX
I'm new to Macs, but I installed all the software updates and that still didn't help. I dont have to buy a new operating system do I?

Muse requires Mac OS X 10.6 or later.

I could download Firefox 4, but could not open the application once putting it into the application folder. I have Mac OSX 10.3.9. Error occurs displaying "corrupt image". But won't open Firefox. Help.

I do have and use Firefox 2, at the moment.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. The last version of Firefox that runs on OS X 10.3.9 is Firefox 2.0.0.20

I bought a dictionary for $29.99 on 30.11.11 and cannot redownload it. I was under the impression that once an app is purchased it belongs to you for all time. Shouldn't I be able to get this app.?

You can only redownload apps whilst they remain in your country's store - is it still listed fot sale ? If the app is still in your country's store then you should be able to redownload it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPad, if it's not shown there (but is still in the store) then check to see if it's hidden from the Purchased tab : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
If it's no longer in your store then do you have a copy of it on your computer's iTunes and/or on your backup of your downloads that you can use to resync it to your iPad ?

Hi nikki7,
Are you using a non-english operating system? If you are, then the KnowledgeBase article I included below should be helpful. I hope this helps!

"You cannot use this version of the application Mail with this version...

I recently needed to replace my hard drive and now when I try to open the Mail application I get the following message: "You cannot use this version of the application Mail with this version of Mac OS X."
Any help is appreciated.

ANSWERING MY OWN POST:
I have tried reinstalling Mail from my Snow Leopard upgrade disk directly and tried it using Pacifist. Neither worked because both simply reinstalled version 4.0. Fortunately, I have a MacBook Pro and it has version 4.1. I copied this directly, which was not ideal (it was quite confused about my mailboxes), but it worked.
The problem is that +Software Update+ did not detect the old version of Mail and Apple does not provide a direct way (that I could find) of downloading the latest version. Each time I downloaded Mail from Apple, it was version 4.0.

I cannot use this version of the application Adobe Air Installer with this version of Mac OS X.

I have Mac OS 10.5.8 and every time I try to install Air Adobe 3 I get the message
"You cannot use this version of the application Adobe Air Installer with this version of Mac OS X."
Could anyone help me?

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,
Peter

You cannot use this version of the application iCa with this version of Mac OS x

Bought a macbook pro from a friend- running 10.5.8. Could not find iCal in the Apps folder. Researched on line and it sounded like I needed to reinstall it from the disk. I did from the original os x disk and when I tried to open it, received the following message:
you cannot use this version of the application iCa with this version of Mac OS x
I have two disk for version 10.2. Neither disk offers "optional installs" but the second has "AdditionalApplications.pkg" but doen not install iCal at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks. That brings up a whole new question- can I run 10.6 on my macbook? The specs are below:
Model Name:
MacBook Pro 15"
Model Identifier:
MacBookPro1,1
Processor Name:
Intel Core Duo
Processor Speed:
2 GHz
Number Of Processors:
1
Total Number Of Cores:
2
L2 Cache:
2 MB
Memory:
2 GB
Was told at Apple Store that it would run terribly slow.

You cannot use this version of the application Mail with this version OSX

I just installed 10.5.8 (9L30) via Software Update and now my Mail doesn't work. Instead, I get a dialog box that says "You cannot use this version of the application Mail with this version of Mac OS X." When I run it out of Terminal from /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail it runs fine, even though it is Version 3.5 (which is what shows up when I do Get Info on the Mail application in the Applications folder). This is really poor, Apple. This is basic stuff -when you upgrade the OS you have to make sure all the Apps work. How are you going to fix this?

Thomas A Reed wrote:
Apple obviously are stupid enough to release an update that broke mail..
Then how do you explain all the people saying they've had no problems with the update? (Oh, and "Apple are"???)
Not everyone had the problem. Good for them. More than one person had the problem - and perhaps even more will experience it. That means there is a hole in the update process - i.e. something does not work properly in all situations. Apple is not God - they stuff up sometimes, innit? Stop defending them.
No matter whether you use a Mac or Windows machine, you need to do some basic maintenance from time to time to keep things working smoothly. Macs, overall, tend to need less, but you still need to check the hard drive from time to time, and you definitely never want to install an OS update if there's a chance you've got hard drive problems.
So if that's the case, why design an "automatic" Software Update utility that does not do a check of HD integrity if it is so vital to do such a check before installing an OS upgrade? Does that make any sense? Where do Apple recommend such a check prior to installing an OS upgrade? It's not immediately obvious do the average user. Apple have gone out of their way to make claims like "you never have to defrag a Mac". They don't mention anything about HD checks. If it's so fundamental, why not? Is it unreasonable to think that a company that prides itself on good design would think of this?
Thank you for the link for the consolidated update. That fixed it - except that it should have worked first go from the auto updater.

You cannot use this version of the application Mail with this version of Ma

My hardrive died so I got it replaced and since I bought my macbook on ebay I have no Installation discs so got a friend to install leopard - everything so far seems ok but when I click Mail this comes up -'You cannot use this version of the application Mail with this version of Mac OS X.'. Any ideas? Ive ran software update and its all up to scratch..

Greetings,
You seem to have a conflict somewhere, and it looks like you have a prior version of Mail that doesn't work with Leopard, along with the Leopard version of Mail. What version was on the Mac when you bought it, and where did the version of Leopard come from, exactly (was it a retail boxed version, or a version that shipped with another model of laptop)? Be very specific, as it does make a difference.

I recently updated to 10.5.8 because my iTunes needed the new Safari and that needed 10.5.8
After doing this, my mail no longer works and gives me the message above. What I don't understand is why is there an update that is required for one this but doesn't allow you to run another? Am I missing a Mail update to allow it to run on 10.5.8???
I've already went through apple care and they walked me through running an Archival Install to get my computer back to its original settings, but that means I can't use Safari 4 and iTunes 9...
Is there a way to have it all, Mail, 10.5.8, Safari 4 and iTunes 9? Please help, my mail is the only way I can check my work e-mail and it's not something I can just go without. Thank you

See this thread from someone with a similar problem:

Since you've restored your computer you won't be able to check the version number of your Mail application, but the question about moving Mail may still apply.

"You cannot use this application with this version of OS X"

Hi,
I'm getting this message when I try to open .AVI files that I uploaded from my digital camera, but I'm posting it here instead of in the Quicktime section because I believe that the cause of the problem is more general. When researching this problem, I looked at the info panel for these .AVI files, and the app listed to open them was "Quicktime Player (default) (7.1.3)". But the actual version of Quicktime that I have installed is version 7.4. If I set the file's "Open With" app to be "Quicktime 7.4", it opens fine, but the "Open With" app reverts back to "Quicktime Player (default) (7.1.3)", making the problem come back. I've also noticed that if I right-click on other apps (a PDF file, for example), and choose "Open With" from the popup menu, that I see other versions of apps that no longer exist on my machine (Safari 2.0.4, for example). I think that files associated with these older app versions may be the cause of many of the "You cannot use this application with this version of OS X" issues that have been reported here. My question is where is this list of "installed" products maintained in OS X, and is there a way that I can edit it to remove those product versions that no longer exist on my system. In my particular instance, I'd like to remove "Quicktime 7.1.3" which should allow me to set the associated app for my .AVI files to be Quicktime 7.4 with no possibility of the association reverting to an earlier version that's not only incompatible with Leopard, but also not installed on my system.
Thanks,
Ken

When you associate a file with an application, are you then clicking the "Change All" button? You can rebuild the LaunchServices database. Evidently the location of the command and the database have changed slightly in Leopard from what they were in Tiger. See this thread for the updated instructions:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5730491
Also, make sure you don't have the old applications archived somewhere. I've been astonished in the past at just how enterprising the system can be in finding some program squirreled away in an obscure backup folder and listing it as an option to open something.

When I try to install Lion it tell's me "You can't use this version of the application install mac os x Lion with this version of Mac os x" even though I have the latest update 10.5.8 of Mac os X?

The install icon has this sign on it

You can't install Lion over Leopard. To install Lion, a requirement is Snow Leopard. So you can either upgrade to Snow Leopard first or you can make a bootable Lion install disc and use that to wipe your hard drive and install a fresh copy of Lion.
So to make a disk would require you to purchase Snow Leopard and upgrade to 10.6.8 so you can use the App Store, unless you have access to another computer to download it from with your Apple ID. Remember it is about a 3.4GB download.
Good Luck

Check the "Purchases" page in the Mac App Store and see if there is a more recent version there already waiting for you.
