Flash 'not supported on this architecture' error message

Hi there,
I'm having a problem with Flash and InDesign (both CS4), installed as a bundle in one go from Adobe Master Collection discs, When trying to launch InDesign or Flash, I get a message that they are 'not supported on this architecture'.
I'm on a MacPro with 2x3GHz Quad Core and 4GB running 10.5.7.
All the other CS4 Master Collection apps have installed and run fine.
My volume is formated as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Any ideas?
thanks
Russell

I have submitted a query to the support people so hopefully I will get some more information.
This is very frustrating.  I put a post in the indesign forum, but the indesign snobs told me to come to the flash forum, where the flash experts reside and would help me...ha!

  • Photoshop CS4: "not supported on this architecture" error

    i downloaded the trial for photoshop cs4 and it installs successfully but i cant seem to open the program. when i click on photoshop cs4, instead of the blue Ps folder, theres a picture of a cd with a red "no entry" sign on it and the error message: "not supported on this architecture".
    what's wrong?

    The CD with the "no entry" is an indicator that it's not running from the proper media, as in the installed application.
    It sounds almost as if you have the dmg in the applications folder and you're trying to run the application from it.
    Like Chris said, PS CS4 is designed to run on PPC G5 and Intel processors so if it installed correctly, and is running from the application, (not a CD/DVD or DMG) you shouldn't see a CD icon with the red circle slash on it. It should be the blue gradient square with Ps in it, or (on very rare occasions) the generic application icon.
    One other thing that could cause this is the formatting of your Mac HD. If it's not a variant of HFS (some are set up with a unix kernel which will run OS X but not some software) it could cause you problems. Check in your System Profiler for HD formatting info.

  • "not compatible with this architecture" error message when trying to download and instal Firefox on older computer

    Helping a friend with older computer. Windows based. Used IE to find Firefox website. Hit download button. Chose to run. About two minutes later received the message, not compatible with this architecture.

    Which Firefox version are you trying to download?

  • "App store not supported in this country" Error message on ipad app store?

    I have a 64Gb wifi ipad and live in Bangladesh.
    When i touch the app store icon i get the above error message? But itunes on the ipad works fine?
    However the app store icon on my phone 3GS works fine.
    I have also tried disabling the location services tab in settings and still get the same message when i try to open the app store. However, itunes works fine.
    I also tried a vpn connection back to the UK and i tunes works fine, but the app store still gives the same error message?
    Any thoughts?

    I'm a US Citizen but I spent a significant amount of time working in Japan; therefore, I maintain a residence there. As a result I have both US and Japanese iTunes accounts. Switching back and forth between accounts on my iPhone works with no problem on my iPhone 3GS.
    Yesterday, I purchased a 64GB iPad 3G and logged into my Japanese iTunes account on the iPad, but when I go to the App Store, I get the message you posted about. At the very least, I should be able to download iPhone Apps from the Japanese store like I do on my iPhone.
    It is ridiculous that I can download Japanese iPhone apps in iTunes and sync them to my iPad but I can't download them from the store on my iPad. Come on Apple, fix this nonsense!

  • Various Applications Not Supported On This Architecture?

    I had the internal hard drive in my MacBook crash, so I replaced it and restored from a Time Machine image. Because I was backing up to a rather small drive, I did not back up my applications. Because of this, I had to reinstall most of my programs from the original installation disks that came with my MacBook and the leopard installation disk as well.
    Most programs installed fine, however, many programs will not open, instead giving the "this program not supported on this architecture" error message.
    The effected programs include automator, calculator, dictionary, expose, font book, image capture, isync, and system preferences.
    I'm not sure if the "architecture" the error message is referring to is chip architecture, as in Intel vs. PowerPC. If it is, the error is incorrect, as both the installation disk and the macbook are intel.

    I think it is telling you that the building in which you are is not Leopard compatible.
    Seriously, the apps you are listing are integral parts of the OS, so they must be 100% compatible with the current OS installed including any updates.
    The chances are that you have installed an update from Apple before the crash and now you are trying to add the apps from the original DVD.
    For example, your DVD is 10.5.0, in the meantime you updated to 10.5.2 - backed it up and restored after the crash. The apps you trying to copy from the DVD are 10.5.0 and will not work on 10.5.2.

    Use Tony's suggestion. I am running it right now and it is awesome. I love Mozilla but they basically screwed all of those older Macs over. Come on Mozilla. These Macs still work, and there are plenty of people with them out there.

  • Error message airport utility not supported on this architecture

    I'm using a macbook pro with OS X v10.5.8 and trying to set up a new Time Capsule network, however I'm getting the error message "airport utility not supported on this architecture". How do I fix this so I can set up my network?

    Hmmm, that message would imply that Airport Utility is from a PPC Mac, or an older version of the OS?

  • ERROR:MapLib:973 - Tri-state buffers are not supported in this architecture.

    Hi,
    I face a ERROR:MapLib:973 problem with inout port in a pcore component.
    I need ton instantiate an inout port at the top level to communicate wih my peripherical.
    This inout port is driven by an XPS IP core (pcore).
    The .mpd is  :
    PORT fdata = "", DIR = INOUT , VEC = [31:0], ENABLE=SINGLE, THREE_STATE = TRUE,TRI_I = fdata_I, TRI_O = fdata_O, TRI_T = fdata_T
    PORT fdata_I = "", DIR = I , VEC = [31:0]
    PORT fdata_O = "", DIR = O , VEC = [31:0]
    PORT fdata_T = "", DIR = O
    The .vhd is :
    fdata_o : out std_logic_vector(31 downto 0);
    fdata_i : in std_logic_vector(31 downto 0);
    fdata_t : out std_logic ;
    I got ERROR:MapLib:973 - Tri-state buffers are not supported in this architecture messages for each
    signals of my fdata PORT, while mapping !
    Thanks for you help.

    What device are you targeting, and what version of the software are you using?
    I target a xc7k325t-fbg676-2.
    I use ISE 14.3 form platgen to xst and 14.7 from map to bitgen.
    What does your top level HDL (verilog or VHDL) file look like (where the IO must be instantiated)?
    It is a .vhd in whitch i wrapp my top XPS core, described by .mhs
    The problematic IO port is instantiated into the mb_core.vhd (generated by XPS).
    If i open it, i could see that the tool correctly infer the corresponding IOBUF's :
    component mapping :
    fdata_I => FX3_DQ_I,
    fdata_O => FX3_DQ_O,
    fdata_T => FX3_DQ_T,
    One IOBUF infered:
    iobuf_1 : IOBUF
    port map (
    I => FX3_DQ_O(31),
    IO => FX3_DQ(31),
    O => FX3_DQ_I(31),
    T => FX3_DQ_T
    Top level port :
    FX3_DQ : inout std_logic_vector(31 downto 0);
    THEN FX3_DQ  signal is dirrectly branched in my upper level (top level) vhd file, with the same name.
    What do your constraints file look like (where the pin number and names get declared)?
    The port is only constrained in .ucf, like that:
    NET FX3_DQ[0] LOC = "B24"| IOSTANDARD = LVCMOS33 ;
    NET FX3_DQ[31] LOC = "G26"| IOSTANDARD = LVCMOS33 ;#Bank 14

  • "You cant run adobe flash cs4 because it is not supported on this architecture" HELP!

    I just installed adobe cs4 design premium, and everything works fine except for the program I wanted most, which is Flash. It has a little circle with a line through the icon and whenever I try to run it, it tells me that it cant run because it is not supported on this architecture. I have already re-installed it four times and it never helps. I cant find any help on this board even though similar questions have been asked. Its on a brand new imac, can someone please help?

    I'm afraid I don't have experience with troubleshooting this install issue to offer any sort of concrete answer about what's the quickest/easiest way to resolve it. Maybe someone else on this forum or a google search will provide some advice from people who have experienced this first-hand and will know the quickest steps to get the software running. If not, perhaps investigate partitions without journaling, or disabling it (the Apple site has info about this if needed).
