I have an iMac 10.8.2. When trying to download a photo attachment from an email I received the following : "You can't open application IPhoto because the classic environment is no longer supported."

Go into your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and see if there's a file titled Domain.sites. If there is double click on it and see if iWeb opens.
If there is no Domain file there do the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.

"you can't open application NotificationExec because PowerPC applications are no longer supported" continually appearing on my screen

I have an iMac with Lion 10.7.4 and tonight I tried to download and install a Maxstor drive from the internet, since then the following notice has appeared on my screen at approximately 6 second intervals. “you can’t open application NotificationExec because PowerPC applications are no longer supported” I have removed the Maxtor manager via the waste basket but the notices keep appearing. Is there a way for me to stop these as they make my iMac virtually unusable or is this a virus?

none of the above worked for me....this worked after hours of messing around with Libraries, deleting things, etc.
Absolutely frustrated by the same problem, just lost 3 hours of my day trying to uninstall after getting the same error message. The ONLY thing that worked for me was going to the following Maxtor (Seagate) URL:
http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/199931en
I downloaded their "remove maxtor sw.zip" file
Click here to download the remove_maxtor_sw.zip file and store it on your system's desktop.
And it worked perfectly. Took 10 seconds and - after restarting - it was done.
What a waste of the day!!!

How I can fix the following "You can't open the application "Dell Laser MFP Installer" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."

Please help me to recovery "powerPC aplication are no longer supported" on my pc just to add a printers

You will need to go to the Dell site and get the latest software for the printer.
As the message states PowerPc apps are not supported in Mavericks. They haven't been supported since Lion. The last OS to be able to run them was Snow Leopard.

I just purchased a copy of Mathcad 6 for Machintosh and I am in the installation process when I met the error message "can't open application INSTALL because the classic enviornment is no longer supported. What must I do? Mac OSX Ver 10.7.4

MathCAD 6 on MacBook Mac OS X v. 10.7.4, need some hand holding to get this installed.

As stevejobsfan0123 explained perfectly, Classic apps only works with Mac OS X 10.4 or older, so it's not possible to run it on your Mac, but there's another problem: MathCAD 15 isn't compatible with OS X, so you will have to buy the Windows version and install Windows on Boot Camp > http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know some details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what fixes have you tried?
where is you library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Hi,
You mentioned you tried some steps but I'm not sure what they are, you may try my suggestion to resolve this issue, follow these steps:
Click Start, right-click Computer, click
Properties, and then click Advanced system settings.
On the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables.
Locate and select the __COMPAT_LAYER variable, and then click Edit.
Set the value of the __COMPAT_LAYER variable to EnableThemes. Or, delete the __COMPAT_LAYER variable.
If the issue persists, we can troubleshoot this problem in Clean Boot to determine whether background programs are interfering with PowerPoint:

Trying to install printer - get the message "You can't open the application "OSX installer" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."

I am trying to install print controller and printer -but get this error message when trying to use the installer:
You can’t open the application “OSX installer” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
I also have a macbook pro running the same version OS and it installed fine there - I can't find the difference; but, NEED to print from my IMac.
Any help and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Error message: 'you can't open the application because the Classic environment is no longer supported'

I get the error message 'you can't open the application because the Classic environment is no longer supported', when will this issue be fixed? I need to use a program to analyse videos called 'J watcher' that is vital for my thesis. It worked in the last operating system but refuses to open in this one. When will this issue be fixed/what can I do about it?

Is there any way to fix this?
Yes, but it's not easy.
I've only tested this on Snow Leopard, but I think it will work in Lion. You need to have Java installed, which it's not by default in Lion. Since I'm not using Lion myself, I can't tell you how to do that.
Download the Java/Mac version (1.0) of the application from JWatcher Downloads. You'll get a zip archive. Expand it. Now you have an application called "JWatcher_V1.0." This is only the installer. It won't run, because it has PowerPC-only version of the Java application stub.
Select the line of text below in your browser and copy it to the clipboard:
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/Resources/MacOS
In the Finder, select Go > Go to Folder... from the menu bar (this menu may be slightly different in Lion.) Paste the clipboard contents into the text box. You should now see a folder with two files in it, one of which is named "JavaApplicationStub." Leave that window open.
Now right-click on the icon of JWatcher_V1.0 and select "Show Package Contents" from the contextual menu. A new Finder window opens. Open the folder called "MacOS". Inside that folder is a file also named "JWatcher_V1.0". Move it to the Trash. Drag the file JavaApplicationStub to where it was. Rename the file (it will be copied, not moved) JWatcher_V1.0. Close the Finder window.
Now double-click the installer. It should launch. Install the application wherever you choose. You're not done yet.
The installer creates a folder named, once again, "JWatcher_V1.0". Inside it is an application. That, too, is named "JWatcher_V1.0". Select it, and do exactly the same thing you did before with the installer: replace the binary inside with a copy of JavaApplicationStub.
You should now be able to run it.

I have been trying to move pictures to iphoto and am now receiving a message that "you cannot open the application iphoto because the classic environment is no longer supported.

I have been trying to move pictures into iphoto and am now receiving a message the say I "cannot open the application iphoto because the classic environment is no longer supported."

Launch iPhoto the the Option key held down and create a new library. See if you can import those photos into it. If you can then your current library is damaged.
If that's the case make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
2. delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in the Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select last three options.
Fix #3
Use iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Classic environment is no longer supported.

I am a pc user switching...
I have some old DVDs, vol 1 an vol II. Vol II is the newest, and have the "built for OS X" logo on it, but both are old. They install fine under windows XP.
The MAC installation is to drap a folder, open the folder, and start the program (no installer dmg like I have seen elsewhere). However, you then get the error message:
you can't open the application "Hemera Photo-Objects" because the Classic environment is no longer supported.
I have boot camp/parrallels, so I realize I could access them that way, but they work so poorly it would be a pain.
I have no idea what the error message means, is there a way around it? The mfg no longer support mac that I can see.

As Baltwo already mentioned, Classic is the name for Mac OS 9 running under Mac OS X in emulation. Apps for Mac OS 9 are different than Mac OS X apps. In the early days of Mac OS X, most people still used a lot of Mac OS 9 apps, so there was an emulator built-in (called, you guessed it, "Classic").
As Mac hardware has moved to the Intel chips (Mac OS 9 ran on PowerPC chips), it has become more and more difficult to support Classic, and less and less useful, since most people don't use Mac OS 9 apps anymore. So, recent hardware doesn't support Classic, and Leopard dropped all support for Classic.
There are third-party solutions, though they're not going to be easy to use, primarily due to the need to find an old Mac ROM image. I have been unsuccessful at finding one to download... old links are gone now. If this software is something you really need, it might be easier to visit eBay and buy a cheap older Mac.
