I transferred documents from older computer to new one and now I cant open.  The computer tells me power pc applications no longer supported.  Is there a way to fix this so I can open?

HI, any help would be greatly apperciated.  I purchased a new iMAC this year and transferred my old docments from very old iMAC (flying saucer looking thing) and now I am trying to open them and cant.  My computer tells me that power pc applications are no longer supported.  Is there a way to save, change or move documents so I can open?  Email to someone else?  Thanks!

As you've found out, Lion dropped support for PowerPC applications. What type of files are you trying to open? What PowerPC application are you using to try to work with them?  Many have had Office 2004 fail to load after migrating to Lion.

  • I moved photos back from my laptop to my iphone and now I cannot access the album to save it back to my macbook.  Is there any way I can save these pictures?

    Please help...I want to save my photos that ive moved from my macbook back to my iphone 4 before I update to ios 6..

    Only by the use of third-party software, like this:

    There is no supported way to do so. Be aware, photos synced to your phone were reduced in resolution for display on your phone. There is no way to recover their full resolution.
    You should be backing up your Mac. If you did so, you wouldn't be facing this issue.

  • TS3682 I backed up my ipad to the cloud as it had a broken screen so I swaped it out for a new one and now I cant restore because the new Ipad has IOS 6 and my back up is 6.1!  This is what I get for buying an Ipad twice in a week because of a broken scre

    I backed up my ipad to the cloud as it had a broken screen so I swaped it out for a new one and now I cant restore because the new Ipad has IOS 6 and my back up is 6.1!  This is what I get for buying an Ipad twice in a week because of a broken screen? $500 the first buy and then another $299 plus tax for the swaped out one that I can't restore with my backup data.

    I assume that you will have to set up as new since it will not let you restore from the backup. Then after you set it up, you can restore from the iCloud backup. The backup should not disappear be use you are setting this device up as new. Your backup should still be in iCloud.
    However, after you activate the iPd and update the software, you will have to erase the device in order to restore from the Cloud backup, that is the only way to get to the iCloud backup.
    Copied from the article that linked you to this discussion ....
    Resolution
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS to be able to restore the backup.

  • After installing the new Lion OSX, I get "power PC applications no longer supported" on things. How to fix?

    Ah, you didn't read the fine print on installing Lion, did you? None of your old software will run in Lion.
    You have two choices:
    A) Buy all new or updated software
    B) Partition the hard drive and install an older version of OSX to run your older apps.
    You did not give us any idea of what PowerPC apps you were running, so additional options:
    C)  Restore to Snow Leopard
    D)  Install Snow Leopard (and Rosetta which runs PowerPC apps) in Parallels 7 in Lion:

  • HT1414 I dont know why bt ever since I updated my iphone 3gs 16GB to the new 5.1.1 firmware I am unable to activate it with my any sim card, so is there any way to fix this. Im from India

    I dont know why but ever since I updated my iphone 3gs 16GB to the new 5.1.1 firmware I am unable to activate it with any sim, so is there any way to fix this please? Is there a solution to activating my Iphone 3gs on this firmware? I purchase this iPhone from USA and Im using it in India. Please help me...

    This means the iPhone was hacked to be unlocked. The 3GS was not sold in the US as officially unlocked.
    Restoring an iPhone with iTunes that was hacked to be unlocked or installing a firmware update on an iPhone that was hacked to be unlocked re-locks the iPhone to the carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked when new. In this case, re-locked with ATT.

  • Transferring info from older iMac to new one.

    Is there a way to transfer my files from my older iMac to My new one? I mean, can I use the firewire port or something easy like that to transfer my files? Or will I have to start form scratch. BTW did I mention my cd/dvd drive on my older mac is dead? There will be no backing up files.
    Please help!

    Just be careful with Migration Assistant. If you select Applications, it will move everything over that isn't newer or already on the new Mac. You can't pick and choose. This means it will move any ancient or incompatible apps, including all their associated files, which may end up being spread out all over the new computer.
    In addition, if you are moving things out from a PPC to an Intel, read this.

    Sometimes it's safer to just move files and folders over.

  • Transfer account from old MBP to new one and now my account password does not work.

    I trasferred my account from one MPB to a new one using targeted disk method.  I left my desk while it finished and came back to a registration page.  I registered and the system rebooted.  Now I see my login details but the password form my old Mac fails.  The hint it gives me also seems to be bogus becaues I've tried many variations of the hint and they also do not work. 
    I'm submitting this from my original MBP and had not problem using my old password logging in to it.  Why didn't my password transfer properly and now how do I fix my new MBP?
    I made sure duing the transfer process to select everything for transfer -- accounts, applications, etc.  All check boxes were checked.

    So now you have 2 accounts, logout of this one and in to the other.

  • I erased a good amount of messages from my email on my iphone, but my icloud storage amount hasn't moved a bit. It is almost full, is there a way to fix this?

    I have a ton of emails on my iphone and it is taking up about 4.4 MB in my icloud storage. I erased some of my messages but the amount hasn't moved at all. It's almost full and I really need my email! What happens when icloud storage gets full? Will I be able to use my email?

    If you exceed your storage plan, your devices will no longer back up to iCloud, iCloud-enabled apps will no longer update documents and data between your devices, and you will no longer be able to send or receive messages with your iCloud email address.
    If you haven't seen your account usage drop after deleting email you might try resetting your device (hold the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release), then go back and see if the usage estimate went down.
    Also be sure you emptied the trash after deleting the messages or they will still be in your account.

  • I recently transfered everything from my emac to another one but now when I try to open iTunes I get the window that states: The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.

    I recently transfered everything from my emac to another one but now when I try to open iTunes I get the window that states: The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. The computer I transfered to had a bunch of files on it and I got full ownership of what was already there, so, how do I get to my iTunes library, I do have access as an administrator to the iTunes library (that works just fine) already there and I guess I must have had a newer version ofiTunes on my defunt eMac....

    Tell us some version numbers please, of your Mac OS versions and iTunes versions on both computers (two eMacs yes?).

    That is a pretty good guess.Try updating the second eMac's iTunes to at least the version that was on the first.

  • I transferred my apps from one Mac to a new one and now my Elements won't open Why?

    I transferred my apps from one Mac to a new one and now my Elements won't open Why?

    You can never, never transfer an installed copy of PSE. PSE is not a tidy package like most mac apps; the installer strews stuff all over your hard drive and neither you nor the migration assistant can ever hope to find all the necessary bits and pieces.
    Now you have kind of a mess to clean up. First download and run this:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    It won't seem to do anything, but it's necessary in order for you to be able to successfully manually remove what did get transferred so that you can reinstall PSE.
    Then go around and remove all the bits you can find, not only from applications but from your user>library>preferences and especially from hard drive>library>application support. Note that those are two different libraries.
    Then you can reinstall PSE from scratch.

  • HT5621 I recently changed my apple id email from an old one to a new one and now I can't sign out of my old one on my iPhone 5 because it says I need a password. I cannot give that password because it is part of the old apple ID. How do I change IDs?

    Hi sharonpalencia, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand it can be very frustrating when you cannot sign in, or sign out in this case, to your Apple ID. In this situation you may need to temporarily edit your Apple ID back to the original email address so that you can sign out. Once signed out, edit the Apple ID back to the new email address and sign in. Please use the attached article for further information. 
    If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    If you're still asked for your previous Apple ID password, continue to the next step.
    Have a great day, 
    Joe

    If mean by way of Safari, that is correct. Only content of the Camera or Photos apps are available. you will need to find an alternate app such as iCab Mobile for uploading documents to a website.
