I cannot open some applications

Hi guys!
I just installed Photoshop 7 on my Intel Mac and there was a message that told me it didn't detect a classic environment to run classic elements of Photoshop. Nevertheless, the installation continued and seemed to be fine. However, when I went to open Photoshop in its folder in the Applications directory, the startup icon was bland, as a bland sheet of paper, and when I clicked on it, AppleScript opened and nothing happened. I tried uninstalling it, I will reinstall it right now, but I doubt it will make any difference.
Has any of you experienced stuff like that with their PowerPC applications? It should run on Intel because of Rosetta... I don't understand why that happened. AppleScript should not be the default opening application of normal application icons...
I would be eternally grateful if somebody found a way to fix this.
Thanks!

Photoshop CS3 is out now and will run on Intel natively.
Photoshop 8 is known to be able to run, but with Adobe Version Cue disabled.
If you are using any cache cleaning applications, those may cause damage to the launch services cache causing generic icons to appear and applications to be unlaunchable. Are you using any cache cleaners?

Why Safari 4.0.4 cannot open some web pages?

Safari 4.0.4 cannot open some web pages, while Firefox 3.5.7 works like a charm.
I tried to open http://www.bdnews24.com/bangla/ for which Safari gets stuck (never opens the page, except for the first word of the first line), but Firefox shows the page very well. The same problem happens for some other web sites as well (e.g. http://www.prothom-alo.com/).
(I have Ekushey Bengali AAT fonts, and they are working fine in Firefox and other applications. So this cannot be a font issue.)

HI,
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
Make sure you are running Safari in 32-bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.
In case it could be a font issue in the future this may help.
Try clearing the font cache. In order to do that you need to boot in Safe Mode.
Shut down your Mac.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator. During startup in Mac OS X v10.4.x or later, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login window, even if normally you log in automatically. Boot time is a minute or two longer than a normal boot.
After your Mac boots to the Desktop restart the computer normally, without holding any keys during startup.
What this process does... It moves to the Trash all font caches normally stored in /Library/Caches/
Restart your Mac and try Safari.

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.

Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X".
I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but get the same error message.

Which version of OS X do you have? It's not clear from your post whether "installed an upgrade" means you just installed PSE 13 as an upgrade or you installed an update to PSE 13, like ACR 9 or 13.1. Please clarify.

You cannot open the application iTunes (11.1.4) because it is not supported on this type of Mac

After updating iTunes to 11.1.4 as suggested by automatic updates I get the message:
"You cannot open the application iTunes because it is not supported on this type of Mac"
Why did it let me do the update then?
How do I undo the uodate to iTunes?
This is on a Mac Mini running OSX 10.6.8 with 1GB mem

What processor do you have?
If it's a CoreDuo (as opposed to a Core2Duo), then you ave a 32 bit OS, and no... 11.1.4 won't run on a 32 bit OS.
=Downgrading from iTunes 11 to iTunes 10.7=
Back up your computer first, in case the wrong things happen.
Replace the iTunes 11 application with iTunes 10.7. I can't provide details on this since I do not have a newer computer. With mine it is very simple but I believe on newer computers iTunes has been integrated into the operating system. On mine I just go to my applications folder and drag iTunes to the trash. See below for possible suggestions on how to remove.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20431349
Get iTunes 10.7. Apple does not keep many old version up on its web site. I always keep an iTunes installer on my archive drive so I can have access to old versions . This one is hidden but it is on an official Apple site:
iTunes 10.7 for OS X http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg
You will have to rescue your old iTunes library from your Previous Libraries folder and rename it iTunes Library.itl because a newer version of iTunes irreversibly updates your library file. See:
https://discussions.apple.com/mesage/20401436 - turingtest2 11/2012 post on rebuilding empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash from previous iTunes library file.

I am trying to install Firefox 4 on my Mac OS 10.5.8 and I get the error message "You cannot open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture" Help!

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

Workspace 9.3.1 Cannot Open Planning Applications

Hello,
We just moved our Hyperion / Essbase applications from one database server to another. We have debugged almost everything, except we cannot open Planning applications in Workspace. We get a dialog that says, "Opening Planning Application", and the little bar runs back and forth, but never opens the application. Planning works well. We have done the Release 9.3.1 Service Pack 1 (9.3.1.1.00) patch. Does anyone have suggestions on how to correct our problem?
Thank you,

Cannot open some PDFs on Macbooks

Hi folks! I have Macbook (2008) and Macbook Pro (2010) and both cannot open some PDFs. I got an error message 'there was an error opening this document. the file is damaged and could not be repaired'. I tried to use Mac's Preview, Adobe's Acrobat (9 and 10, with latest updates) and Adobe's Photoshop CS5 - none did work. Both laptops have OSX 10.6.7 with all latest updates. The funny thing is that files work fine in old Adobe Acrobat 6 Pro on Windows XP though before opening it shows a message that the file was created in newer version of software and you should update yours but then it opens the file.
The problem is completely random and I cannot find any correlations with Acrobat's options/settings. Does anyone have any ideas?

Since you say that the file opens in Acrobat 6, why don't you do a Save As in that version to rewrite the file. Then it may work. (Basically, the file sounds corrupted.)

"You cannot open the application "Adobe Photoshop CS5.1" Because it isnotsupportedon this architectu

I have a Mac OS 10.5.8, 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, and although I have succesfully installed the photoshop files, they will not open. When I try to open it the comptuer says "You cannot open the application "Adobe Photoshop CS5.1" because it is not supported by this architecture." Does anyone know what the hell this means or what I should do? Thanks

Emmasrisd has it ever worked on this computer previously? If so what has changed did you install new software or make any upgrades to the computer? Have you also tried removing the software and reinstalling? If so did you receive any error messages during the installation process? Finally if you have tried to uninstall did you remove the program using the uninstaller located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers.

Cannot open some links

I clicked a bad page the other day and installed some malware. I [carefully] removed them manually, but perhaps I deleted a wrong registry key. Anyway, I'm left a little bit lame as I cannot open some links or pages, and I cannot restore previous versions
of Windows.
Win 7 home
IE 11
Issues:
1. Wikipedia .png images will not respond at all to a left-click. I can open them by right-clicking.
2. wordpress.com the reader link and a few other links hang.
generates the error Line: 4235
== Error: The system cannot find the file specified.
The line of code is ... if( !window.localStorage ){
3. System restore would not restore previous versions. It was unchecked in system, and I have since re-enabled it and allocated space. I have not tested it.
actions performed:
- Googled for a day and a half
- tried re-registering dlls
- checked file associations
- reset security and settings in IE
- ran IE with no add ons
- ran IE in safe mode
- rolled back to IE 10 and reinstalled IE 11 (with much pain with failing updates needing manual uninstallations)
I am now at a loss at what to try next for the IE issues. Any help or ideas will be appreciated. I'd rather not reinstall or upgrade right now.
Thanks
John

Hi Power Unit.
Considering the machine has been injected by some malware,I suggested you to perform a full scan with the antivirus software in safe mode to have a double check .
According to your description ,it seems that there is something wrong with system files.We can run "sfc /scannow"to have a health check of the system files.
I noticed you have tried to reinstall the Internet Explorer 11 .How did you do that ?
We can run the following command line to uninstall the Internet Explorer 11 and then download it to install it .
"FORFILES /P %WINDIR%\servicing\Packages /M Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-*11.*.mum /c "cmd /c echo Uninstalling package @fname && start /w pkgmgr /up:@fname /quiet /norestart"
Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7
http://www.microsoft.com/en-hk/download/internet-explorer-11-for-windows-7-details.aspx
If the issue persists ,we may need to do a in-place upgrade to have a repair .We may lose some configurations.Here is a link for reference :
How to Perform an In-Place Upgrade on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 & Windows Server 2008 R2

CS4 "You cannot open the application Adobe InDesign CS4 because it is not supported on this archit

Just installed CS4. Ai and Ps open fine. i get this prompt with InDesign.
You cannot open the application Adobe InDesign CS4 because it is not supported on this architecture.
any clues on how resolve this?
thanks!

I'm having exactly the same problem with InDesign from CS4 Design Standard (Photoshop and Illustrator both work), and I don't know what to do. I've called up the Adobe support line five times, and received five different answers, none of which have worked (and on three other occasions, my call was dropped, once after an hour on hold).
One of the Adobe tech support people said to me "None of CS4 works with either 10.5.8 or Snow Leopard. We will issue a patch for that soon" - which directly contradicts what Adobe itself says on this site. I also went to see a Mac Genius, who couldn't help either.
I have a 2GHz Macbook with 2GB RAM running 10.5.8. I've run the uninstall, and the Adobe Clean Script, I've repaired permissions on my drive (which isn't case sensitive), restarted, reinstalled, tried installing on an external drive and then tried downloading the trial, in case it's the install CD - nothing works.
Any suggestions, anyone? Might there be a problem with my library that is stopping the install? Something else?? I bought CS4 for InDesign primarily, this is not good.

I cannot open some applications
