Installation says not support on this architecture
I am trying to install creative suite 5 design premium and it tells me that it can't open application because it's not supported on this architecture. I am running osx 10.5.8 on a Mac G5. I was told to uninstall my previous CS3 but it is still showing some programs in admin/preferences (just folders) so I tried to download the creative suite cleaner tool and it gives me the same message re: not supported on this architecture. It allowed me to install acrobat 9 pro with no problem. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong and help figure this out? Thank you.
That's what I was afraid of. My hard drive crashed and had to get a new one. Unfortunately, they could not save my cs3 and I had purchased my computer from my previous employer and it was already loaded with cs3 and they have since gone out-of-business and I did not receive any installation disks or numbers for this program. I guess I'm just sol. Spent all my extra $ on new hard drive and CS5. Thank you for your help. It is appreciated very much.

When I try to play minecraft, it says "not supported on this architecture"
Please answer this question ASAP.
You should consult the minecraft site/forums/wiki, as there are a number of recommended configurations, both miniimum and better performance. Note that "cheap" and "no lag" may be somewhat contradictory, however, anything is possible in the used market.
Also, this discussion area is probably not a good one to ask in, if you intend on staying with a mac system to play the game. You might ask in the macbook discussion here or macbook air discussion here or macbook pro discussion here. (Assuming you want to stay with a notebook computer). -

What can I do so that I can open iphoto. I have so many photos in the application.To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List. -
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

/Applications/Utilities not supported on this architecture
Hi guys! I just got a new aluminium macbook for about less than a month, but have already encountered some problem regarding my /Applications/Utilities folder. When I try launching any of the utilities applications, I get the error message: "You can't open the application "<Name of Application>" because it is not supported on this architecture". All the the application icons also appear grayed with a crossed circle over it. This applies to all the applications in the Utilities folder, but all my other applications are fine.
Also, when I click the Apple Icon on the Finder Bar and click "About This Mac", the "More Info..." button is grayed out, I suspect because System Profiler is not working. Terminal is also disabled, which is especially odd. Applications subsequently installed worked fine, such as Microsoft Keyboard and Mouse, MacBook Firmware Updates.I tried googling for some solutions, but somehow no one seems to have encountered this problem.
I'm not sure whether it's related, but this problem happened after I recently installed Vista under Boot Camp and after installing the Optional Installs on the Mac OS X Leopard Disc that comes with my MacBook (e.g. X11).
I'm really new to the Mac, so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Here are some screenshots for your reference:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/24832454@N08/sets/72157611268007100/That's rather odd. I don't think I've heard of that one before. If you select one of the Utilities and "Get Info" on it, what "kind" is the application. It should say "Application (Universal)" or "Application (Intel)."
Also make sure the "Open Using Rosetta" checkbox is not checked. -
Games not working "not supported on this architecture"
Hey all
My problem is killing me! All the games I go to install are coming up with "You can not open this application "Example Battlefield 2142, Need for speed carbon ect." because it is not supported on this architecture". I've checked the system requirements and they are all fine!
I've checked my hard drives permissions and there fine!
Does anyone Have any idea what's going wrong???I have had similar issues. Over the last few years I have installed a secondary hard drive with more RAM, upgraded my OS to 10.5.8 and plugged a new Radeon 9600 graphics card in when the original blew out last year. Used to my computer (pre-upgrades) worked fine as far as video games & other applications (Final Cut Pro) went. Now it seems ridiculously picky when it comes to installing anything video game related.
Successful installations since upgrading:
- Adobe Creative Suite 3
- Penny Arcade's "Rain-Slicked Precipice" games episodes 1&2 (PC/Mac) (games downloaded over the internet)
Unsusseccful Installations since upgrading:
- Tomb Raider Games (mac version)
- Nostromo Speed Pad N-52 (keypad device - used to work pre-upgrade)
Mixed Success since upgrading:
- World of Warcraft + expansions (PC/Mac) (game currently installed on old hard drive, can be operated "through new hard drive"*)
- Diablo II (PC/Mac) (game will install on both old & new hard drives, crashes when attempting to operate on new hard drive, will run on old hard drive, game crashes when operated "through new hard drive")
* The official jargon escapes me. Basic idea: while my computer boots off the new hard drive I can still access the folders/applications on the old hard drive since the two are connected. WoW, installed on the old HD, can be opened/run while booted off the new HD.
Part of the problem started when my original graphics card burnt out. With the new card installed things run fine on the new hard drive but when I boot the computer using the old hard drive all the graphics looks like someone leeched all the color out of them and ran the images through a shredder. It otherwise operates properly... but it's hard to make out what you're doing and almost impossible to read anything on the screen. (For lack of a CS education I suspect that the old hard drive can quite grasp what to do with the newer Radeon card since it was a 2k3/2k4 model cpu to begin with.)
That some processes operate as they were intended to while others will not is, to say the least, perturbing. Most things will run on the new HD just fine but a lot of video games, though they may install correctly, crash when I try to operate them. Both Diablo and WoW are produced by the same manufacturer and each game is in its most recent version. I am convinced that the software is flawless, but the hardware is schizophrenic. -
