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.

    I have just bought a 2011 iMac (2.5 ghz, 4gb) and logic express 9, and when i installed logic and tried to run it i had a message saying 'you can't use this version of the application logic express with this version of Mac OS X. How do i sort this out!? It is very frustrating as the main reason i have bought  a mac is to use logic! Any help would be great as i am a complete novice when it comes to Macs!

    You're probably on OS X Lion?
    I had the same problem as you. I used Software Update to update Logic Express to the latest version, and then it ran without any problems.

  • You can't use this version of the application "logic pro" with this version of os x

    After installing all of Logic Studio (i.e. install dvd, audio content 1-3, jam packs 1-3), my laptop concludes that everything is installed successfully, however, when going to open to Logic, error icon appears and says:
    'you can't use this version of the application "logic pro" with this version of os x'

    Thank you! I found that just after I entered the question. I reinstalled everything two times, updated software, but was still having issues. But, I specifically updated the 9.1.8 (which was supposedly included in my standard software update). Guess I needed to give it some extra attention and affection.
    P.S. - Why do I feel like the more I upgrade versions of OS X, the worse off I am getting or am? Isn't it supposed to be opposite...isn't it supposed to make things better...come on, mac...where you at? mt. lion or mavericks. I'm downloading Snow Leopard to make some programs run. (um, yeah).

  • Unable to open mail, address book etc due to this message:  You can't use this version of the application Address Book with this version of Mac OS X. HELP!

    I am transferring my mother's address book and mail etc to my computer from an external hard drive enclosure and am not able to open it due to this message:  You can't use this version of the application Address Book with this version of Mac OS X. HELP!  Is there a way to open her older applications and get the info out?

    her email is in user>Library>Mail folder. Hopefully you've created another user on your Mac for your mother so she would have her own user Library.

  • You cannot use the application "System Preferences" with this version OS X

    You cannot use the application “System Preferences” with this version of Mac OS X.
    I received this error message when trying to run System Preferences (SP) for the first time after running the 10.5.1 update (from the download, not software update). After the update, I repaired permissions. Did another restart. Same.
    I reinstalled 10.5.1 update. Same message. Logged in as another user. No change.
    I removed the com.apple.systempreferences.plist from ~/library/preferences. No change, and it did not re-create the .plist file.
    Any ideas? No one else seems to be having this problem as far as I can tell.

    I have had this problem with many applications after updating to 10.5.1, including
    System Preferences, Calculator, Preview. Tried repairing permissions, and other tips from this thread. The strange thing is, the actual Leopard applications seem to have actually vanished? I don't know if this is anything to do with Time Machine; Anyway, My fix was:
    Download Pacifist (if you don't already have it), locate the apps that you're having problems with on the Leopard install DVD, and copy them to the Applications Folder (Click on 'Replace Bundle')
    Problem Solved for Me!
    Hope this Helps!

  • 'You cannot use the application ical.app with this version of Mac OS X'

    When I first upgraded to 10.5 ical and calculator both crashed when starting and now after upgrading to 10.5.1 I get the following message - 'You cannot use the application ical.app with this version of Mac OS X'
    This is only on my G4 powermac. No problem with Intel MacBook.

    Are you, by any chance, one of "those people" that move applications to something other than the default location?
    I know I am.
    When I upgraded, I saw the same problem - I had moved iCal (among others) outside of "applications" to something like "Applications/Business Apps"
    The version in "Business Apps" was the Tiger version, and it wouldn't run. However, the Leopard version (Installed to /Applications) worked fine.
    So, I deleted the "Tiger" version, moved the iCal to where I wanted it, and all was well.
    In a similar note, I put a number of iLive apps in a different folder -- and OS X software update stopped finding updates for those apps. I had to move them back to /Applications in order to get OS X software update to run them.

    Did you talk about the Microsoft Azure Active Directory Sync tool ?
    If yes, this issue occurs if one or more of the following conditions are true:
    An object in the on-premises Active Directory has an SMTP address that's the same as the SMTP address of the object that's reporting the problem.
    An object in the on-premises Active Directory has a mail attribute that's identical to the object that's reporting the problem.
    An object already exists in your organizational account and has the same SMTP address or mail attribute as the object in the on-premises Active Directory

  • I can not open ff4(after installed) with a note you cannot use the application "firefox. app" with this version of Mac OS X.

    I had ff3, but I upgraded to ff4. But in process of upgrading to ff4 I almost 70 times of dragging from ff simbol to applications, I am so tired of repeating it, So I stopped. and as last step I dragged ff simbol from appplication to side ff simbol. Next day I tried re-download over it, But it happen same thing, it says "you cannot use application"firefox. app" with this version of Mac OS X."

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

  • Impossible to perform this operation because the document is incompatible with this version of Photoshop"

    I encounter a problem that is increasingly recurring, at the opening of a PDS Photoshop CC.
    After working on a file and then close Register one, he can not open and displays a incompatibility message me with the same software that I was used to create it.
    I work on a PC with Photoshop CC, but the same problem has occurred on a Mac with Photoshop CS5.
    Yet I shall endeavor to select "maximize compatibility" every time the question is asked me.
    Anyone know it and the problem (we can always dream) how to recover the files in question?

    Thanks for you help.
    First i was trying to save on a shared cloud. Later, i save my files on an internal hard drive and then copy them on the cloud, but when i, or the persons that access the folder on the cloud, try to re-open the file there, the problem is coming back.

  • You can't use this version of Font Book with Snow Leopard!

    Hi,
    Since upgrading to Snow Leopard I get the following error message when attempting to open Font Book:
    "You can't use this version of the application Font Book with this version of Mac OS X. You have Font Book 2.1."
    Most solutions I've found via Google simply suggest reinstalling Snow Leopard. Does anyone know of a less drastic solution to this problem?
    Could I copy the correct version of Font Book (v2.2) the SL CD?
    Thanks,
    Mateus

    you should have fontbook 2.2 already if you installed SL. possibly you have an old leopard version of fontbook in a different location and that's what you are trying to run now. go to the main Applications folder at the top level of the hard drive and launch Font Book from there. does it run?

  • I have just agreed to software updates on my imac and now can't open my mail.  There is a message saying this version of mail isn't compatible with this latest software.  I have located the updated mail in the applications folder but it won't open. Help!

    I have just agreed to software updates on my imac and now can't open my mail.  There is a message saying this version of mail isn't compatible with this latest software.  I have located the updated mail in the applications folder but it won't open. I don't have the original operating software disk.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Your reply suggests that you have moved Mail to a different location, which (as I said) will prevent it from being properly updated. You cannot use Mail 4.5 with any recent version of Mac OS X. Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) included Mail 5 and Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) includes Mail 6. I'm assuming that you have either Lion or Mountain Lion, but if that is incorrect, you will need to provide that information.
    At this point, you will need to reinstall your system. Hold down command-R at startup and reinstall the system right on top of the old one. This should not disturb any of your documents or applications, though you should have backups beforehand in case something goes wrong. And at this point, with your system in an uncertain state (I don't entirely know what you have done to it), something could go wrong.
    You will also want to delete the old copy of Mail 4.5, wherever that is. You can't use it.
    In the future, do not move any of the preinstalled applications. Leave them where they are.
