Error "You can't open the application App Store.app be cause it may be damaged or incomplete"

Using OSx 10.6.8  When I try to open app store it gives error "You can't open the application App Store.app be cause it may be damaged or incomplete"  Does anyone know a way to re-install App Store.app  ??  Thx

Have you tried opening them directly from the Applications folder, rather than the Dock?

  • After installing Maverick, my downloaded movies will not play in Quick Time.  It gives me the following error "You can't open the application "QuickTime Player.app" because it may be damaged or incomplete."  What can I do?

    After installing Maverick, my downloaded movies will not play in Quick Time.  I receive the following error message:
    You can’t open the application “QuickTime Player.app” because it may be damaged or incomplete.  So I tried to unistall QT and I get an error that says, You can not delete this application as it is a requirement for the OSX.
    Well I did find a way to delete it, by going into the various components and one by one deleting it.  Now I reinstall it and  the message is that this Quick Time is for an earlier version before Maverick 7.  SMH....Now what.?

    Hello, terrygav. 
    I would recommend processing a reinstall of Mavericks.

  • You can't open the application "System Preferences.app" because it is not supported on this type of Mac

    All of the sudden my System Preferences in Mavericks has stopped working and I get the error message:
    You can't open the application "System Preferences.app" because it is not supported on this type of Mac.
    It was working fine before this, and I have run Permissions Repair, restarted to another partition and run Diskwarrior and TechTool Pro, but none of those has helped. Anyone have any ideas why this happened, and what I can do to fix it?

    Why are you using IE?
    If some site is requiring IE, set your user agent string to claim your using IE.
    What is my user agent?

    The only viable solution is to upgrade to the latest versions of the PPC legacy software that will run under Mavericks.
    Except for the other viable solution:
    If you are unable or unwilling to upgrade to a version of Filemaker that runs natively under Mavercks, you can run your existing version of Filemaker by installing Snow Leopard Server into Parallels:

  • Error: "You can't open the application....because it may be damaged or incomplete"

    I just wiped a Macbook Pro and freshly installed OS 10.6.3.
    I installed CS4 and when you try to open InDesign or Illustrator you get the error message:
    "You can't open the application (InDesign or Illustrator) because it may be damaged or incomplete"
    Photoshop and Acrobat work fine. What happened to these two?
    The Icon to each of these two also have crossed out symbol over them.

    This must really be a mystery.  Nearly nothing found using Google.  There seems to be a similar problem with iPhoto that happens and get this error message but no many solutions.
    Anyone out there have any suggestions?

  • You can't open the application "iAd Producer.app" because it may be damaged or incomplete.

    After installing Itunes Producer when I try to open I get this message: “iAd Producer.app” because it may be damaged or incomplete.
    Whats the problem?
    Thanks
    Josef

    Hi,
    Just for clarification.  Did you have iAd Producer already installed on your system?  If so, which version? Then you installed iTunes Producer?  And when you launch iTunes Producer, you get a message saying that iAd Producer is damaged/incomplete?
    Thanks,

  • Im Trying To Use My CD's that Came With My Textbooks But I Keep Getting The Error "You can't open the application Huether 4e.osx because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."

    Im New To Mac (obviously) Do I Need To Download A Supplemental App To Use It? If So What Is The App Called?

    Applications designed to run only on the PowerPC processors in the Macs of five and more years ago can't run on new Macs under the Lion operating system. If the authors of your textbooks and the software that accompanies them haven't updated their software in all that time, you can't use it on your Mac. There is no workaround.

  • HT2476 Can't open Word documents. Get error "You can't open the application MS Word because Power PC applications are no longer supported.

    What do I do to fix this error? Can't I use MS anymore?

    You have many choices, the least attractive in my opinion is to upgrade M$ Office to the newest version.
    Look into Pages ($20 from Apple), NeoOffice, or OpenOffice (both free). All open and save MS Word formats.

  • I have just been trying to scan a document and it says: You can't open the application "EPSON Scan.app" because it is not supported on this type of Mac.

    Hello
    I seem to be having trouble with my scanner and my MAC.  Nothing has changed on my MAC but my scanner refuses to scan.  And a couple of other items tell me that they are incompatable with my MAC.  Any thoughts?
    thanks
    Bev

    Bev,
    Unfortunatley you have not provided any useful information other than your Epson app will not run. I would recommend using Image Capture which is pre-installed on your computer.
    To help us help you going forward please complete your profile so we know some basics about your system. You can find info on how to update your profile by clicking:

  • Error: you can't open the application microsoft word because powerPC applications are no longer supported

    I just updated my computer and now word is not opening. Why is this?

    Office 2004 is Power PC code. Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

  • "You can't open the application "Flash" because it is not support on the architecture"

    Looking for some help with this.
    I recently had a system corruption on the MAC machine here in my office.
    The user was suppose to save his work to the servers which they didn't.
    The users that was using the Mac ended up losing all there data as the hard drive failed.
    As a precaution I decided when I was rebuilding the MAC to replace the dead 250MB hard drive with 2x1TB hard drives.
    I would then create a RAID1 (Mirror) with the two hard drive so if a single drive fails the users can continue to work without interruptions or losing any work.
    Mac installation went without an issues. Then the Adobe installation appears to go okay, however as I was double-checking the installs for the Flash and Indesign programs were grayed out wiht that no smoking sign symbol on them. When attempting to run the programs all I recieved was the following Error:
    "You can't open the application "Adobe InDesign CS4" because it is not support on the architecture"
    or
    "You can't open the application "Flash" because it is not support on the architecture"
    All other programs for the CS4 open and run without any issues.  The CDs I have are for a multi-user license.
    System spec are:
    Model Name:                             Mac Pro
      Model Identifier:                      MacPro3,1
      Processor Name:                      Quad-Core Intel Xeon
      Processor Speed:                      2.8 GHz
      Number Of Processors:            2
      Total Number Of Cores:          8
      L2 Cache (per processor):        12 MB
      Memory:                                  8 GB
      Bus Speed:                               1.6 GHz
      Boot ROM Version:                 MP31.006C.B05
      SMC Version:                          1.25f4
    Does anyone have a solution?

    The usual reason for that error is that the application isn't installed. As for why they didn't install, that I can't tell you.
