"I can't support this architecture" Messege
I know very little about computers so please bare with me. I Own a copy of Cs5 extended and just DL it, Now I downloaded it but when ever i try to open it i get this messge "You Can not open the Application " Adobe Photoshop CS5" Because it is not supported on this architecture" Also the little icon that represents CS5 is what looks to be papers with a circle and a line threw it.
"I can't support this architecture"
I have seen this. For me it meant an OS up date.
But as SW said. It could also require a hardware update. AKA, a newer MAC. Sorry

A day or two ago I went through installing Adobe InDesign CS4 on Leopard OS X.5.8. After what appears to be a successful installati
on, in launching InDesign CS4 the message " You can't open the application "Adobe InDesign CS4" because it is not supported on this
architecture" comes up". Calling in to support and speaking with the agent who read through previous posts, suggested to me that I
should try the same fix that has been suggested when I ran across an error when installing Adobe InDesign CS4 on another separate ha
rd drive externally connected to this computer running Snow Leopard OS X.6.1 for the error reading: "Damaged &/or incomplete install
ation" when launching afterwards. The support technician told me to first delete with the uninstall Adobe InDesign CS4, InDesign.
Following this I am told to run the CS4 Cleanup Utility. I restart the computer each and every time after running each of the utili
ties. Now I am told to install InDesign as a trial version from the DVD and after installation to go ahead & enter the serial numbe
r. When launching InDesign CS4 after installation got back the same error as before: "You can't open the application "Adobe InDesig
n CS4" because it is not supported on this architecture" comes up". Followed KB404711 article and no success. What else can be don
e to fix this issue?
This morning contacted Adobe Support regarding this response:
After having a detailed reserach on your issue i acme to the conclusion
that the problem you are having is not related to Adobe software but its
in fact related to your MAC version ( OSX-5.8). While reseraching your
issue i came across
to many forums where a lot of postings were about the similar error but
with different products the only comon thing was all the Errors were
with Mac machine , also when you check the system requirements for
Adobe Indesign Cs4
by going to the following link
http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/systemreqs/?promoid=DRHXE you
will find the Mac OS version supported are from Mac OS X
v10.4.11–10.5.4. but we do support Snow Leoprad , so i would like
to advise to you to either contact your system manufacturer or upgrade
to Snow Leopard ( mac os x 10.6)
I have been told that my case is being sent to Level 2 agents and that it can take 24-48 hours for a response. In the meantime I decided to see what the Support Forums can do for me. Until then I am down. Thanks for the help.In the application folder there is a folder 'Adobe InDesign CS4' within which there is just the application file. I would expect there should be more file there??
I've un-installed and installed again - still the same.
Even downloaded the dmg again and done thwe whole thing over again. -
I just got a notice to update my firefox to 4.0 and when I downloaded the new software it indicated: that I can't open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture. Any ideas about what might be wrong and how to fix it?
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

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

Been using Firefox (many years) version 3.16.. Received invitation to download Firefox version 4 for Mac this morning and did so (regretably losing 3.16 version) because now the new version 4 won't open. I just keep getting the error message "You can't open the application "Firefox.app" because it is not supported by this architecture." I'm using the latest Mac OS 10.5.8. The processor is 1.8 GHz Power PC G5.
I trashed the first download and downloaded a 2nd Firefox version 4 and had the same results.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

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 -
IMovie.app is not supported on this architecture - can't re-install
I'm trying to start up iMove 09 which I've been using since I bought it. I get an error that says.
You cannot open the application "iMovie.app" because it is not supported on this architecture.
I tried to re-install it from the disks and it gets to the page where I can customize the install, but nothing is checked and it won't let me check anything.
Need some help here please.
ThanksIt sounds like a problem with your graphics card. Do you have a dual display set up or any external graphics cards set up?
If not, here is an old trick, but it might work...
Open System Preferences/Displays
Change the resolution to some other resolution.
Change colors from millions to something else (thousands?)
Apply your changes.
Now go back and change your display settings to the original settings that you prefer (and change colors back to millions).
Sometimes that will reset the graphics card. -
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.

You can't open the application...it is not supported on this architecture
Returning Mac user here. I am trying to setup some shared games on my Mac mini, 1.25Ghz G4, 1Gb RAM machine and have run into something very puzzling. I am loading some free open-source games under my account and the applications will launch and open just fine. Well, when I attempt to launch that same game(s) under another account it gives me a "You can't open the application <application name> because it is not supported on this architecture". I initially setup this second user account as a a standard but during my troubleshooting steps I have allowed it full Admin rights with the same end result.
Some other things I've tried:
1. Get Info on the applciation(s) and granted everyone (and even the second user account) Read & Write permission.
I scoured Google and these forums and haven't been coming up with much of anything! Can anyone help?Try creating a new test account, give it admin rights, but make no other changes to it. Log in to that account and see if it can run the game. This will eliminate the possiblity that there is something causing a problem within your second account. You might also uninstall one of the games, and reinstall from your new admin account and see if it, and the other accounts, can use that game.

My Mac X10.5.8 PCG5. Can't open Firefox 4 'not supported on this architecture' why not?
When I tried to open Firefox 4 a dialogue box opened stating "Can't open the application Firefox because it is not supported on this architecture"
For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

Can't use any app utilities folder b/cNOT SUPPORTED ON THIS ARCHITECTURE
in my macs utilities folder under applications where you find things such as disk utility and system profiler i have a problem. i am unable to open any of them. none of them have icons. they all have an icon that looks like a piece of paper and the ruler, pant brush pencil, that make an A over it. i don't have any of the original icons. like this one for system profiler.
http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tuaw.com/media/2009/09/profilericon.jpg
when i try to open one of them up i get a message that says YOU CAN"T OPEN THE APPLICATION (insert which ever app here) BECAUSE IT IS NOT SUPPORTED ON THIS ARCHITECTURE.
i have had my mac since 2008 and have not used any of the apps in my utilities folder.That sounds like something has gone wrong with your system.
Do you have the original install discs?
Download the 10.5.8 Combo update from Apple.com, install it, and see if that helps.
