I am running OSX 10.9.3 and my Word won't open. It says power pc is not longer supported. What is going on?

I am running OSX 10.9.3 and suddenly my Word program won't open. An error message comes up saying that Power PC applications are no longer supported. What is going on?

that means you have a very old version of MS Office ('04)?.  It can not run on any version of OS X higher than 10.6.8.  You need a more current version, can look at iWork, or try a free program such as OpenOffice or LibreOffice.

  • After clean install Preview and MS Word won't open any documents.

    Did a clean install of Mavericks. Restored my files from dropbox. (thousands of pdf and word files, doc. and docx)
    Now, preview and MS Word won't open any documents.
    Preview fails to open PDF so as MS Word fails to open any doc or docx file. Both crash on launch (not responding).
    The only way to open the files is renaming them.
    Try to delete the .plist (preview and Word), dont work.
    Anyone know how to fix?

    Hi Myelenium,
    Thanks for the info about Event Viewer!
    It's showing this message:
    Faulting application name: Illustrator.exe, version: 16.0.0.682, time stamp: 0x4f6e762b
    Faulting module name: AGM.dll, version: 4.26.20.19822, time stamp: 0x4f56925c
    Exception code: 0xc0000005
    Fault offset: 0x0024ed0b
    Faulting process id: 0x1a58

    Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS6\Support Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe
    Faulting module path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS6\Support Files\Contents\Windows\AGM.dll
    So I searched the forums for any previous AGM.dll posts and tried resetting the preferences (through Alt+Ctrl+Shift) and deleting the entire Adobe Illustrator CS6 Settings folder. I opened Illustrator again and moved some panels around to save a new AIPrefs folder but I was still unable to open any documents.
    Then I tried the next step listed here:

    And removed the Printer that I usually use and it seems like that did the trick! Yay!

  • I'm trying to look at iTunes and whenever I hit the app it says this feature is no longer supported... What do I do?

    Wanting to buy music, but can't because it keeps saying that it's not supported!

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    -Go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and sign out and sign back in
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             

  • I got a new acer pc with Win7 64-bit and itunes download won't open, it says 'This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid win'

    I've tried to download Itunes and itunes for 64-bit using mozilla firefox and internet explorer, even deleted the browsing history and closed and tried to dowload again and tried download quicktime separately, but nothing seems to work. 

    Try right clicking on the installer and select run as administrator.

    I suggest you follow the advice already given - contact the developer and ask them to confirm that your model of iPod can use that game. If it can, and there is a problem, then the developer should be able to help you.

  • Installed v8 and now itunes won't open

    I upgraded to V 8 and now itunes won't open. Saying my audio configuration not right. Anyone know how to fix this?

    I always backup and archive any and all versions I've used and downloaded, or at least until I feel safe with the current version.
    Setting a backup also lets a system be restored to prior point in time.

    Unfortunately, Safari cannot be updated past 5.1.10 on a Mac running v10.6.8.
    So, the options are to upgrade to a newer OS X or use Firefox or  Chrome.

    I have never been able to use the Macmail feature.  Running OSX 10.4.11, and the problems appear to be related to the fact that when I originally registered my computer with apple, I used an old e-mail address which is now defunct.  Have since upgraded the e-mail address in account manger, but it still locks me out and rejects my user name and password when I try to log in.  It seems it established an account for me automatically when I first fired the beast up, but now the Macmail program is uncooperative with me.  Any assistance would be much appreciated, Thanks

    Hi rbcjoker76, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Sounds like some needed System Fonts wre replaced by bad ones. Y also have Font Book in Applications for validating fonts & checking for duplicates.
    Required Fonts from 10.3, much the same in 10.4...

    You may have to get Pacifist...
    http://www.charlessoft.com/
    then intall the Fonts what you need from your Install Disk.
    Or do a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

  • Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader?

    Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader. I get this error message "Adobe Reader could not open 'OD Test Bed Proposals_0.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."  I have tried changing the 'open with' options too. Thanks

    Try this:
    Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files
    Empty the trash
    Relaunch Safari. You can now download undamaged PDFs.
