I upgraded to Lion, now Photoshop and AfterEffects don't work. They are no longer supported. Is there an upgrade? What are my options?*

I just upgraded to Lion. Unfortunately I found too late that PowerPC software is not supported. I have already lost one day of business. How can I go back to Leopard, or is there a upgrade for the software that no longer works on Lion that will support its existence in the Lion environment. Any and all help is appreciated. I am trying to run a business that operates with Photoshop and AfterEffects.
Thank you,
Michael

Versions of Photoshop and After Effects that old (PPC code only) have to be the original CS or older.
The cheapest fix is to revert to Snow Leopard. If you need/want to remain in Lion, then upgrade to CS 5.5. All of its apps have been updated to work as expected in Lion.
Since there is no upgrade path from CS to CS 5.5 (you'd have to pay full price), then, if you can, you may as well wait until CS6 is released. Going by Adobe's typical upgrade cycle of 12 - 18 months, the earliest possible release will be sometime this fall.
One page on Adobe's site notes that the oldest software that qualifies for an upgrade to CS 6 will be CS 3. Upgrade prices have been ranked by age the past few years. People upgrading from CS 3 will pay more for CS 6 than someone upgrading from CS 5.

Lion is Not compatible with PPC (Power PC) based software, such as your older version of PhotoShop. Your choices are you can either upgrade to the newer version of PhotoShop, or you can backup your data and apps, erase your harddrive and reinstall Snow Leopard.
Hope this helps

3.1.2 updated now songs and apps don't work...please help

I have an ipod touch that was given to me for my birthday a couple of years ago, I've never had any real problems with it untill now:
Last night I bought the 3.1.2 update as some of my recently updated apps are unusable without it. I believe this is the first update I have had to pay for and the first that I have had problems with.
Many of my songs no longer play(they just pause when I try to play them) and none of my apps work now(when I tap them the screen comes up but disappears after a few seconds)
I have restarted and restored my ipod but no change.
I really don't know what to do, can anyone help me please?

Mac OS X 10.6.8: Software update, now skype and chrome don't work, and it seems like the programs didn't install at all even though the computer restarted. Help?

I just did the automatic restart after software update. When everything came back up, Skype would start but immediately freeze at log in. Chrome would also start, but kill Gmail and facebook pages immediately. Firefox and other applications work. i checked software update again, and it seems to want to me to reinstall all of the things I just updated. I've done it twice but get the same thing every time.

They should be. They both worked until just now. Also I checked again and realized that everything in the software update had indeed been downloaded. So now its just a chrome/skype problem.

Updated to IOS7 and now camera and FaceTime don't work properly

I updated to IOS7 and now my camera only takes still shots, and no video. it also won't reverse shots. My FaceTime allows us to see the people we're calling, but they can't see us. any suggestions?

(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.

I changed the code for saving usernames and passwords, it didn't work, so I restored a backup of the code I had made, now usernames and passwords don't work at all. Help?

I found a method online to force firefox to save usernames and passwords which the site itself requested not to be saved. I made a backup of the file on my hard drive, moved it to the desktop, changed the code and tried it. It didn't work as expected so, I deleted that file, returned the original file to it's appropriate place and restarted firefox. Now it won't save ANY passwords or user names, even on sites it previously did so. I've tried reinstalling over the existing copy, and would REALLY prefer not to uninstall/reinstall since I have a ton of bookmarks, addons etc, which I don't want to have to restore. Has anyone encountered this issue? or have a suggestion on how to fix it?

Do you still see names and passwords in the Password Manager?
Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
You can still reinstall Firefox. Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected.

Installed Lion OS and now "powerPC applications are no longer supported. BUMMER

After installing Lion i am unable to open my word or excel documents as "powerPC applications are no longer supported" suggestions anyone?

Upgrade to Office 2011 for compatibility.

Since "upgrading" (?) to Lion, my Hewlett Packard scanner has ceased to function. "Power PC products are no longer supported." Is there any way to get my scanjet3570c to work again as it did so well before?

Since upgrading (?) to Lion my HP 3570c scanner won't operate because "power PC products are no longer supported"
Is there any way I can get a perfectly serviceable scanner (HP3570c) to work with my iMac?

Is it just the HP software that's not compatible, rather than the scanner itself?
A couple of things you could try that may work. Launch Image Capture in the Applications folder and see if that recognises your scanner. If that draws a blank, you could try downloading VueScan from www.hamrick.com and see if that works. If does, you'll need to buy a licence to make it fully functional.

I just upgraded to OS X Lion and now I can't open the application Adobe ImageReady CS because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

There is no fix. It simply means that the software is outdated. Adobe would need to release a newer non-PPC version that supports Lion. They may have done that already, I don't know.

Started to upgrade from Lion got interrupted and now it won't download

Started to upgrade from Lion got interrupted and now it won't download

Hello webejamn,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to download and install OS X Mavericks. It sounds like the download from the Mac App Store for OS X Mavericks was interrupted and didn't complete.
I recommend the following step when an Mac App Store download is interrupted:
If downloading an app is interrupted
Once an Internet connection is reestablished, your purchased downloads should automatically restart. The Mac App Store may alert you that there was an issue with the download and ask if you'd like to restart the download(s). Confirming will restart all pending downloads. For more information on this topic, see Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads.
Note: The download time will vary according to the file's size and your Internet connection speed. Refer to this article about iTunes Store purchases for more information about download times for large files.

I upgraded my iMac to Mountain Lion and now my Canon Pixima MP500 will not open because PowerPC apps are no longer supported! Has anyone experience this problem?

Correct. Applications designed to run on the old PPC Macs (which Apple stopped making in 2005) cannot run on Mountain Lion.
You need to update your printer driver:

I upgraded my Mac from OSX 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard and then to Mountain Lion 10.8.2. I did have Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 in my applications and now get a message "can't open Office because Power PC applications are no longer supported."

I just upgraded my MAC from OSX 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard and then to Mountain Lion 10.8.2. When I try to access my Microsoft Office for MAC (2004 edition) files I am getting a message "can't open Office because Power PC applications are no longer supported. How can I access all of my save Word documents? I just want to be able to retrieve all of my documents that were in Microsoft Office for Mac (2004). If I purchase the newest version of MS office for Mac from Apple will I be able to retrieve my old documents?

Use any number of free alternatives to your nearly decade old version of MS Office.
Consider
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice (free)
OpenOffice (free)
In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for years. Life is better without Microsoft.

I recently upgraded to lion 10.7 and now I can't open itunes or do any software upgrades. Not even 10.7.1! Help

I just upgraded to lion 10.7 and when I tried to use itunes an error message came up saying that itunes may not work with this version of Mac OS X. So I tried to update my software, starting wtih 10.7.1 and it said "Mac OS X update cant be installed on this disk. The volume does not meet hte requirements for this update."
I have 48.19 GB on my HD so I'm not sure why it's saying that. I tried to do skip ahead to 10.7.5 and it said the same thing.

I think you're using a Lion developer version. Open  > About this Mac > More Info, and copy Software here. Did you purchase Lion in the App Store?
