"iTunes cannot be opened in this version of OSX" error

A few weeks ago I installed iTunes 7.2, which had been working fine until I tried to open it yesterday, and I got an error message saying that it was not compatible with my version of OSX, and that I needed a version newer than 10.3.9, which is odd considering that I'm running 10.4.9. I tried restarting, then I deleted iTunes to reinstall it. The new installer that I downloaded says something like "iTunes cannot be installed on this computer because it requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later." Has anyone else had this issue? Does anyone know how to go about correcting it? Any help is appreciated.

Have you contacted Apple support regarding this issue? As i believe they may be able to swing you in the correct direction? Have you installed any applications or made any system changes between the time you last opened iTunes and now?

The project was saved in a newer version of Premiere Pro and cannot be opened in this version

I edited a project on CC on one computer and saved it on my external. My friend took the same project to edit it on her computer under her own name and licence. Both of us recently upgraded to CC. But the same project that worked a few hours back on Premiere Pro CC, does not work now also on Premiere Pro CC and I received a message saying: The project was saved in a newer version of premiere pro and cannot be opened in this version." Can you please help us.?

Hi alexxxkid,
You should be able to import the xml into an earlier version.
Backward compatibility has never been there with Premiere and it is always recommended not to update in the middle of a project.
As far as the crash is concerned, please tell me more about it so that i can help you to the best of my knowledge.
Thanks,

Cannot start mac office 2011, prompt "this identity cannot be opened with this version of outlook

cool, need help on this.. just installed the software but the message prompt me " This identity cannot be opened with this version of Outlook". i using Macbook and version Mac OS X 10.7.3

Hi,
This issue occurs as the current navigation pane in Outlook is not working properly. We can try to use the command "Outlook.exe /resetnavpane" to clear and regenerate the navigation pane for the current Outlook profile:
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /resetnavpane” in the blank box, then press Enter.
We can also create a new profile to test if this issue persists:

If there's no issue with the new profile, simply delete the old one.

"The project was saved in a newer version of premiere pro and cannot be opened in this version." - Except it wasn't!

Last night I saved a project I've been working on for a couple of days. It's been fine all along. Today, when I went to open it, it's no longer listed in the recently opened files on startup and i get this message:
"The project was saved in a newer version of premiere pro and cannot be opened in this version."
Except it wasn't! I use Premiere CC and it's been fine all along. I can no longer open it at all...
Any thoughts? Very frustrating!

One more item. In using PP CC2014 for the first time with this project, I have run into multiple issues making this project very frustrating. When adding a sequence to the master sequence, I have to render the audio each time in order to see all of the audio waves. You have to keep doing this over and over, even though you've already rendered a sequence already.
I am getting error messages when rendering the project saying there are issues compiling the movie. Getting same type error message if I try to export. I narrowed it down to two sequences keeping the program from rendering without the error messages. They each had a tiff file. I deleted them and they rendered. Not sure what this issue was with these particular files since I have other tiff files in the project. Once the rendering of all sequences was done, all the individual sequences were closed and the master was the only one open. I didn't close them. So now to edit any of the sequences I have to go back and open them.
The only thing this project has in it are titles created in PP, a few graphics, mostly tiff tiles and some jpeg and the dissolve effect. That's it. Seems like they should have done more with this version before putting it out there. Maybe that's why there are two separate applications for PP? Who knows. I will be uninstalling PP CC2014 when this project is complete.

"The project was saved in a newer version of premiere pro and cannot be opened in this version." How can I keep the projects interchangeable?

I recently updated my Premiere Pro CC at home to 2014.1 and now can't open my projects at school where they are using Premiere Pro CC 2014. (which was up to date last week) Since I don't know how long it will take for them to update all of the computers, (based on past experience) How can I make my project compatible between these 2014 versions?
I've tried to export the project as a Final Cut XML file, but didn't have luck with that.

Hi Benjamino5,
There is no backward compatibility in Premiere Pro. It's not ever been a feature. The only way backward is by using XML but it sounds like you had problems with that. Please let us know your specific issue here: http://adobe.ly/ReportBug
I was speaking about forward compatibility. A number of people have had problems updating the project file with this version. While it should not cause too many issues, it is a general rule of thumb to never update your project file to a new version part way through a project.
It's rather unfortunate that this formerly hardcore stance (to not update project files until done) has been forgotten or is simply not known to many editors, both new and old. Updating a project file should never be done unless absolutely necessary. As a former instructor, I would make sure that all my students were aware of this potential project killing issue.
Backward compatibility is a long standing feature request. Make that in the same place as the bug report. Hope that helps.
Thanks,
Kevin

Cannot use Safari with this version of OSX??

I recenlty installed Leopard on my G5 (pre-Intel but with 2GB). I have iLife 08 and Safari 3.
On one of the Account windows I get the message that "You cannot use the application Safari with this version of Mac OS X".
It works fine on my (administrator) account.
Any thoughts on this one please.
BTW, it is my children's account and I have some (but not stringent) parental controls.

Alternatively, see the steps I posted for resolving conflicts/corrupt plists within an account at:

"This project was saved in a newer version of APP and cannot be opened in this version" NO convert option with 7.2.2 from 8.0.1

Our computers are on a network. Another computer has a project which i need to work on. Same CC account. The other computer (8.0.1) saved it and I (7.2.2) tried to open it....to no avail. I opened straight from the opening screen and tried to import it into an existing project. Got the error message both times. Had him save it to my local drive, and still could not open it (same error appeared).
No converting message present.
As a side note . . . if I run updates on both machines, why are we not on the same version?

HI CMN_Virginia,
Welcome to Adobe forums.
If you want to open a project of a later version on a previous version Premiere Pro, you can follow the given below workflow:
-Go to the original project in the current version (say 8.0.1) where it was originally created.
-Select the Project bin and export an XML File of the same by going to File>Export>Final Cut Pro XML after selecting the entire Project bin. (Please make sure the XML if of the Project Bin and not of the Timeline as in that case you might not get the complete project in the XML)
-Save this XML Export file to a convenient location. Move this XML to the internal drive of the second machine along with all the media it contains the reference to.
(A text file will also be created next to it, delineating the details of export and reporting misses, if any)
-Now go to the other computer with previous version of Premiere Pro (say 7.2.2) and open a new project.
-then go to File>Import and Import the XML of the project previously saved. The XML would be imported.
(Please note that the importing the XML will not load the media of the project by default. You would get the media offline message because it would be trying to find the media in the older location of the previous system. You would need to right click on the clips and choose "Link Media" and then navigate through the folder to find and connect the media).
Following the above workflow should let you open the project in a previous version of Premiere Pro.
Thanks and regards

This project was saved on a newer version of premier pro and cannot be opened in this version

I have tried to update but to no avail. Uninstalled and reinstalled and still not opening my project. My current version is 8.0.0 (169 Build) My MBP is 8.2.09 (65Build) How do I update the PP CC 2014 on my iMac to match my MBP.
Any suggestions or solutions would be greatful.

Hi Richard,
Thanks for your reply but the 'updates' section was grayed out and unclickable. I contacted customer support who took control of my machine and did some magic I hope. At the moment there is a full CC update going on. Not the quickest thing in the world but hopefully I'll only have to do it once and the problem should be resolved.

Be careful - there's a difference between update and upgrade. Your machine is saying there are no updates available, meaning no later versions of OS X 10.5 (Leopard). However, you can very likely upgrade - at least to OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), and possibly then to OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion).
Updates are free, but upgrades cost a bit. That's the dirference.

I can't install newest adobe reader version, OS X Yosemite and iTunes cannot be opened.

First I tried multiple times to install Adobe Reader's new update. It says:
Adobe Reader installation error
installer: Package name is Adobe Reader XI(11.0.09) installer: Installing at base path / installer: The install failed ( The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.)
Then for the OS X Yosemite's installation, it says
OS X Yosemite failed to download. Use the Purchases page to try again.
I did so and the same message appeared again. (I also tried to install Mavericks 10.9.5 but since the Adobe Reader's problem, for some reason I can't to do any updates.)
Now I tried to open iTunes and it won't open as well.
iTunes cannot be opened.
I'm guessing it won't open because of the Yosemite update. I really don't know what to do. Help!
Extra info: I have the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display and Webroot Security Anywhere Antivirus.

I only have English selected in my Languages. I've seen that as a suggested fix in the past.

"uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version" error message when opening a *.doc file with Word already running

Several customers running different versions of Office 2011 (14.4.1-14.4.5) on OSX varying from 10.7.5 to 10.9.5, running on various kinds of hardware (iMac/MacBook Pro/MacBook Air) of various ages are having issues opening *.doc files if the Word is already open. The error message that gets displayed is, "XXXX.doc uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version"
When the customer tries to open the same file via File-Open, she gets "The file is locked for editing. you can open the file as read-only".
When trying to do so, she gets "Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters".
If Word gets Force-quit, the same document opens without any problems.
1. Repairing Disk permissions was ran several times. and the volume was found to be OK.
2. I have noticed that in this scenario either deleting the normal.dotm or com.microsoft.word.plist (~/Library/Preferences) sometimes resolves the issue, sometimes it doesn’t. There is no pattern to follow. All versions of Office are affected, the fully updated and the non-updated ones.
3. I have tried completely removing the suite using Office 2011 Uninstall.app and/or Remove Office 2011 Uninstaller.pkg, then going through customer's library and manually removing all the Office references.
4. None of these systems had Office 2008 in the past.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Reboot both the Mac and the server. Word opens .DOC files and Excel opens .XLS files. As you have found out by copying the files to the computer. It is the connection between the 2 computer that is causing the error.

My iPhoto icon has a cross over it, when i open it, it You have "iPhoto" 9.2.1. you can't use this with this version of OSX? it used to work ?what's gone wrong?

my iPhoto icon has a cross over it, when i open it, it You have “iPhoto” 9.2.1. you can't use this with this version of OSX? it used to work ?what's gone wrong?

iPhoto 9.2.3 is incompatible with MacOS 10.9.3 Mavericks. If you are running Mavericks on your system you need to update iPhoto to 9.5.1. Only, the problem is, that this version is no longer available at the App Store.
The easiest way to get a compatible iPhoto version in that case would be to upgrade to Yosemite, MacOS X 10.10, and then download the most recent iPhoto version from the AppStore, iiPhoto 9.6, like LarryHN suggested.
If you cannot download iPhoto after upgrading to iPhoto 9.6 post back.

I have InDesign CS (v 3.0.1) can newer CS4 files be saved to open in this version

I would rather not upgrade if the files can be saved to open In InDesign CS. Thanks
Also can I download the free trial of CS4 and use this to save the file to my older version?.
I received a 500mb file from a client today and would like to solve this problem myself rather than have them re save & re send the file. Thanks, Shawn New Haven, CT

Backward compatibility in Indesign works like this:
Any version of ID can open files from any version up to that release. Once saved in a newer version, files cannot be opened in older versions, with the following exception, of sorts. Beginning with CS2 (version 4) files can be exported to .inx (Interchange Format) which can be opened by the version doing the export and one version earlier. Any features used in the newer version which are not available in the older version will be lost, and text will most likley recompose and change line ending points due to differences in text engines for each version. It is possible to hack CS4 .inx to sometimes make it open in CS2, but it is not guaranteed.
Exporting to back save is not a recommended workflow and should be considered a last resort. If you know a file will need to be opened in an earlier version, you should do all work in that version for best results.
