"Internet Connect not supported on this architecture"
I recently installed 10.5.4 and there were 2 apps that had the circle with a slash mark through the icon (like the "no smoking" sign with the slash through the cigarette). Apple support said they never heard of such a thing and helped me download one of the apps, Airport Utility. I read on this forum where maybe the install disc tried to load the Windows version by mistake.
I just noticed that the Internet Connect app is the same way. Does anyone know where I can download the most recent version, or can it somehow be extracted from the install disc?
thanks!
Hi Lu-Maze,
I believe that Internet Connect Application was used in Tiger and was found in the Utilities Folder. I don't think it was carried over with Leopard, as I can't find it. Move it to the trash but don't empty and see if it causes any issues. I don't know how you managed to get it if you installed Leopard unless it was a hold over from Tiger if you just did the upgrade and not the erase and install.

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. -
A day or two ago I went through installing Adobe InDesign CS4 on Leopard OS X.5.8. After what appears to be a successful installati
on, in launching InDesign CS4 the message " You can't open the application "Adobe InDesign CS4" because it is not supported on this
architecture" comes up". Calling in to support and speaking with the agent who read through previous posts, suggested to me that I
should try the same fix that has been suggested when I ran across an error when installing Adobe InDesign CS4 on another separate ha
rd drive externally connected to this computer running Snow Leopard OS X.6.1 for the error reading: "Damaged &/or incomplete install
ation" when launching afterwards. The support technician told me to first delete with the uninstall Adobe InDesign CS4, InDesign.
Following this I am told to run the CS4 Cleanup Utility. I restart the computer each and every time after running each of the utili
ties. Now I am told to install InDesign as a trial version from the DVD and after installation to go ahead & enter the serial numbe
r. When launching InDesign CS4 after installation got back the same error as before: "You can't open the application "Adobe InDesig
n CS4" because it is not supported on this architecture" comes up". Followed KB404711 article and no success. What else can be don
e to fix this issue?
This morning contacted Adobe Support regarding this response:
After having a detailed reserach on your issue i acme to the conclusion
that the problem you are having is not related to Adobe software but its
in fact related to your MAC version ( OSX-5.8). While reseraching your
issue i came across
to many forums where a lot of postings were about the similar error but
with different products the only comon thing was all the Errors were
with Mac machine , also when you check the system requirements for
Adobe Indesign Cs4
by going to the following link
http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/systemreqs/?promoid=DRHXE you
will find the Mac OS version supported are from Mac OS X
v10.4.11–10.5.4. but we do support Snow Leoprad , so i would like
to advise to you to either contact your system manufacturer or upgrade
to Snow Leopard ( mac os x 10.6)
I have been told that my case is being sent to Level 2 agents and that it can take 24-48 hours for a response. In the meantime I decided to see what the Support Forums can do for me. Until then I am down. Thanks for the help.In the application folder there is a folder 'Adobe InDesign CS4' within which there is just the application file. I would expect there should be more file there??
I've un-installed and installed again - still the same.
Even downloaded the dmg again and done thwe whole thing over again. -
Cant open application because it is not supported on this architecture??
the graphics processor on my computer broke so i had to pull files off using the firewire system to connect two computers and when i went to open the address book this appeared "cant open application address book because it is not supported on this architecture". is there any way around this?? thank you.
You copied the Address Book application (which is not where your addresses are stored) from an older system to a newer one, or vice versa. So now it won't run. You'll need to reinstall the system on that machine, or restore Address Book and any other apps you replaced from a backup.

I just want to download Firefox 3.6 again
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.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.

How can I get my Firefox back without losing all my info on my previous version?The latest version for PPC users is 3.6.25 available at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

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

Firefox can't open the application "because it is not supported on this architecture
"You cannot open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture."
Thanks for the link to the system requirements, edmeister. However, my system appears to fit every requirements listed, but still gives the same error message.
Here is what my system profiler tells me about my Imac:
Mac OS X v. 10.5.8
Processor: 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, which Wikipedia tells me is "x86" processor
3 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
My Activity Monitor says:
1.87 GB of my system memory free
303 GB of hard disk space free
Is there some explanation why I am being told Firefox 4 is not being supported on this architecture? -

Been using Firefox (many years) version 3.16..
