Getting errors of "not supported on this architecture" message.

Trying to install open source Office software and iTunes update and get these errors. Please help. I am a total Mac/iPhone newbie and would like to be able to sync the iPhone5 with the Powermac as well.

  • Adobe download assistant not supported on this architecture message on Mac

    When I download the Adobe trial of CS5  InDesign and my computer first downloads the download assistant, I get an error message saying that I can't open it because the computer's architecture does not support it. Do you know why this is?

    What processor is your Mac using?  You can find this by going to the Apple Menu>About This Mac.

  • 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
     

  • Address book not supported on this architecture

    Hi, can anyone point me in the right direction? My address book no longer opens and displays "You cannot open the application "Address Book" because it is not supported on this architecture." the icon itself has changed to sheets of paper with a ruler, pencil with a big circle and diagonal line.

    I'm having the same problem. It happened after i upgraded to 10.5.8. It stopped working after the upgrade. I recovered the old address book from my time capsule from this morning, and that's when i got the "not supported on this architecture" message.
    thanks

  • I downloaded Firefox 4 onto my PowerPC G4 1.67GHz running Mac OSX 10.5.6. When I try to open it I get error message You cannot open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture. I can't find my Firefox 3.6.16 I'm on Safari.

    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.

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • 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?
    Might download & install this...

  • My Mac with OS 10.5.8 says I cannot open Firefox because it is not supported on this architecture. I tried to update my version, and this is all I get now. What can I do to use Firefox again? Thank you.

    My computer is not allowing me to utilize any version of Firefox, after multiple downloading attempts. I simply get a message that Firefox is not supported on this architecture, and the Firefox icon in my toolbar now has a circle on it with a line through it (Canceled). I hope that someone can explain what I need to do to be able to use Firefox once again. Thank you, TC

    As you have a PPC or Power Mac the last release form Mozilla to work on PPC is Firefox 3.6.*
    Firefox 3.6.23 can be found at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Since you have a PPC Mac there is this third-party option for Firefox 7.0.1 at
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    As of Firefox 4.0, a '''Intel''' Mac with OSX 10.5+ is required for Firefox builds from Mozilla. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/7.0.1/system-requirements/

  • On PowerBook G4 OS 10.5.8 my chess App tells me "You can't open the app 'chess' because it is not supported on this architecture. It has worked before. What does that means? What can I do to get it working?

    On PowerBook G4 OS 10.5.8 my chess App tells me "You can't open the app 'chess' because it is not supported on this architecture. It has worked before. What does that means? What can I do to get it working?

    It sounds like you might have accidently copied Chess over from an Intel Mac, or an Intel Mac's installer DVD.  The architecture typically means it is designed uniquely for either Intel or PowerPC.  Be sure to extract Chess from the 10.5 Retail installer disc that looks like * and not any other disk.  http://www.charlessoft.com/ 's Pacifist lets you extract individual applications from installers without having to reinstall everything.

  • 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.

  • 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!
