An .exe application is for Windows so you can't use it on a Mac. Have you got the install discs? If so, try running Disk Utility from it and also, repair permissions in Disk Utility on the computer before you use the install disc. The best thing would be for you to perform an Archive and Install to clean things up.
Let us know how you make out,

Have been using Aperture 3.1.3 with no problems. Importing from a Nikon D80 (RAW & JPEG), Casio (.MOV) and Flip (.mp4). Could import and view all videos without issue prior to Lion upgrade. After Lion installation, can no longer import .mov files (get "file not supported" error) or even view any .mov or .mp4 files currently in library (even though thumbnail is present). Can watch the .mov files directly on my camera using Quicktime in Finder but can't even drag & drop that file into Aperture. Anybody else having similar problems?
Still no resolution and Geniuses at store could not assist. Unfortunately, it looks like not all the applications were ready to support the Lion operating system. We could not import any .mov files, could no longer view any .mov files already in my Aperture library and could not email any .mov files. Totally frustrated. Use Aperture almost daily and can't lose the video functionality. Was also running dog-slow. Constantly looking at the spinning wheel. Geniuses suggested that I wipe out hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard. Had full backup on external drive with Time Machine.
Not an easy process though...had to reinstall several times (at 5 hours each time) because I continued to have issues. Finally figured out that I needed to delete every backup file from Time Machine on external drive from the date I installed Lion because some of the hidden files were still migrating back to Snow Leopard.
I had to:
1. Delete all time machine backup files from date/time of Lion installation forward
2. Do "clean" installation of Snow Leopard (wiped hard drive using disk utility and booted with Snow Leopard disc)
3. Chose option to reinstall from backup off Time Machine which eventually got me back to Snow Leopard desktop
4. Deleted Aperture program and reinstalled (I had to install Aperture 2 and then install Aperture 3 upgrade.
5. Reinstalled iLife apps
5. Applied all Apple updates available (again this took a few hours because there were several updates from Snow Leopard's original release plus Aperture 3 and other application updates)
Still doing some tweaking on some of my other apps but got everything back to where I originally was. Now plan to wait on a few version updates from Lion before reinstalling.
I am one of Apple's biggest fans, but was very disappointed in the fact that I lost functionality in one of their own pieces of software (which I use the most!) by installing Lion. -
Have loaded lion and now can't access office for mac or apple works as it says it does not support power pc applications, how can I acces them or better still reinstate them please?
MS-Office for Mac versions 2004 and older do not run in Lion since these are PPC-apps for which Apple has dropped support.
Free alternatives to open Word and Excel files:

Or get the 2011 MS-Office -

How do I upgrade my browser for MacBook Pro, Safari 5? It is apparently outdated and not supported by many applications.
You need to either upgrade the computer’s OS(this isn't possible on a Core Duo Mac) or switch browsers.

I've just upgraded to OS 10.8.6. Now when I try to export an ipages 09 document to .doc, I get the message "character borders are not supported and were removed," and the file is saved as .pages.
I think you would get more expert advice if you asked this in the iWork forum - its really an iWork question

Xtreme Gamer is "not Supported by the Application" Problem. He
My SoundBlaster XFi Xtreme Gamer has suddenly stopping being detected by my creative software, such as Volume Panel. The drivers are installed, and when I hover my mouse pointer over the volume panel is still shows "SB X-Fi Audo [E000]" which is the sound card, but when I doubled click to open the volume panel it says that "The current selected audio device is not supported by the application. Do you want to select another audio device now?". When I click "Yes", it doesn't show anything on list besides "Windows Default Audio". This happened out of no wheres, with no changes at all to my computer. Volume Panel was working yesterday, but when I woke up today it wasn't. I have no idea what could be causing this, or what caused it... I did update the drivers about a week ago, but it was all working fine since, until today.
I haven't installed or uninstalled anything since it was working properly.
I tried reinstalling drivers and software, and it did not fix anything. I also uninstalled everything including drivers from computer, and used my original installation CD to install everything over again. Every installed fine, but then for some reason it would not install the drivers. Windows was detecting the device, but when I went to install the hardware manually, it would ask for CD to find some files to install... it said this twice, I located the files it needed, and each time it would complete the process it would instantly reboot computer without notice. When the computer was booted up, it would ask then ask again for the Creative CD to install the detected hardware. So I for awhile I could not install the drivers, but for some reason out of no wheres it finally installed when I used the update installation file I downloaded from Creative.com, even though I had tried the same thing a few times, it for some reason installed drivers. But now it is all installed again, my software seems imcomplete and will still not work with the sound device. What seems to be the problem here? Only thing I can think of now is the installation for some reason became corrupted. Only way I can think of fixing it is reformatting my whole computer, but as of right now I don't feel like spending a whole day doing so.
Is there anything that you can think of to fix this problem? I have had the sound card for about a year now. As of right now, I am still using headphones in the soundcard, but it doesn't sound good at all as I can't change anything in software. I also noticed that is no longer has as much installed as it would if I used my original CD. It doesn't have an option to switch sound modes anymore. It also doesn't now have "X-Fi Soundblaster" in "Add/Remove Programs" list. All it has in Add/Remove is "Creative Audo Console".
I uninstalled everything I could and deleted left over files in the Creative directory, so I deleted the whole folder after.
Only other thing I can think of is something in the registery is messed up, and causing the sound card not to be recognized. I also have WinXP SP2.I spent yet another hour or two trying to fix it, and nothing changed.
I put it into a different PCI slot, and made no difference.
PCI slot doesn't seem to be the problem, I am thinking it is something within the registry itself.
I also put in the CD and there was no option to remove drivers, so I just went ahead and tried overwriting them, but that actually made things worse. My computer kept rebooting over and over when it hit the Windows Boot Up logo, and had to go into safe mode and do a system restore to get it back to normal.
It also keeps asking for the CD when windows loads and it detects the soundcard.
It will ask to locate acouple files, I do what it it says, but just as it is finishing installing the drivers it reboots the system.... when windows is loaded again, it will ask the same thing over, and will keep giving same results.
There isn't anything to completely remove all the creative files and folders including the 00's of registry keys. Maybe Driver Sweeper or Driver Cleaner Pro might help? ill try them, but as of now im not bothering with the soundcard.... ill just reformat. I just hope it ain't the card itself, because I am a month over the one year warranty, and the azzholes from creative said there was nothing they can do about it.
That alone made me want to turn to a different brand next time with better support. Creative has some of the worst support I know of.
They tend to leave people hanging with their defecti've hardware. What I don't get is, that the card still installs the drivers at times, and it will still work but the software won't.
I have been using it this whole time, but seems to freeze up my Guildwars alot.
It still sounds good, way better than Onboard, just not as good as before because there were no options for change mode, or couldn't access the equalizer.
Anyone know of any programs that will completely remove everything for the Xtreme Gamer Creative Software? Including everything in registry.
Also, is it possible that there might be a Windows Service that might have an effect on the problem? I tried enabling a few things, then try rebootin and reinstalling, but didn't seem to help.
But then again, I am not sure which services would cause the problem.
Definately something happened with the last Creative Driver update, only took a week afterwards for something to go wrong. -
hello..when I download attachments from any email..iPages opens and says some features are not supported and cuts out photos and lengthens my attachments
What format are the attachments? If Pages will not display them properly you will need an application that does. Pages usually opens word documents but can give problems at times, if they are MS Word documents, try Libre Office or failing that you may have to purchase MS Word for Mac, maybe you will need to buy the complete Office suite.
The other possiblity is that you already have a suitable application and Pages is loading the file by default, if so change the default application to open that file type. -

4.then installing PL/SQL webToolKilt.
And please let me know which steps i'm missing in this order and the problem to fix the above error.
Thanks in advance
JyotiHello,
Jyoti,
I'm not clear...are you saying your upgrade to 3.1 was successful or not?
The error you mention suggests that you're trying to install an application from a more recent version of Apex into an older version (which suggests your upgrade didn't work?).
John.

I downloaded the FF4 update and it has the "no smoking" symbol over the FF icon. When you attempt to open the app it states: "you can't open the application "firfox" because it is not supported on this application."
I have OS 10.5.8
If it will not work, how do I get the old version of FF back?Are you sure you downloaded the .dmg file? It should have automounted for you and opened in finder. Then all you have to do is drag the FF4 icon over the Applications link in that finder window and it will install.
I seem to recall seeing the error you noted when I accidentally clicked a windows .exe file on my Mac.
Also, if you visit firefox.com from your Mac, it should be prompting you to download the .dmg anyway. The only way you could get the .exe would be to click the "other operating systems" link below the main download button. -
"Type of file not supported" but previous timeline files OK
Simply put, I have projects that I can open up and they display and edit the MTS files from my Panasonic camera fine. yet, I cannot add any new MTS files or even import ones that are already in the timeline without it saying to me "Type of file not supported". It obviously supports them since my project before imported and I edited them without problem.
I just got done uninstalling and reinstalling the software. But no help.
How can it see and use MTS files in my timeline yet cannot recognize any of the same files in the media folder?
I'm stuck with a useless Premiere Application. $99 down the drain.
Help!I found out the problem.
The MTS files can't be dragged into the timefrom from the media folder.
They can be dragged from the project folder.
That is the simple fact. Even though it says it does not recognize the file type in the media area, if you import a file into the media area it also appears in the project area and you can go to the project area to drop the file into the timeline.
Go figure...
I am editing away once again. This is what happens when you don't use a program for a while.

Since downloading OS X Mountain Lion my WordSearch9 will not open. I got a message saying that X11 was not supported and directed to a site to download an update "XQuartz" which I did. Now when I try to launch WordSearch9 I get a message "X11 cannot be found". I did follow the instructions to download and install XQuartz, but there still seems to be a problem. Anyone have an idea?
Your report indicates Mountain Lion, but your footer indicates Lion. I'll assume you're on 10.8.2; on the current Mountain Lion version.
Rebooting is fine.
The posted diagnostics look like there might be a problem with the Xquartz install, or it is not starting, or it's not authorized for the sandbox. (But I don't know enough about that to be certain.)
Try launching X11.app directly from your Applications > Utilities folder, and see if that works, or if shows any dialog boxes, or that reports any errors.
If you had an Xquartz kit installed and it's not the 2.7.4 (current) Xquartz kit, then please update to that version. (I'm assuming that site is where you got your Xquartz kit from, too.)
I'd also suggest also discussing this more directly with the Xquartz folks via mailing list or the IRC channel, or collecting up the Xquartz logs and then posting a bug over at the Xquartz site; here are the details on bug reporting for Xquartz. -

i work with Numbers on my MiniMac and then save the files as Excel because the university only works with Windows.
Numbers is not an Excel clone. Importing and exporting between Numbers and Excel will eventually build up glitches.
If the university only works with 'Windoze' it might be better if you use Excel or a free version of Office (for example, Libre Office or Open Office).
If your marks depend upon a professor who uses Excel, go with the flow.
