"itunes" not supported on this architecture any solutions?

i've just managed to update my itunes to the 10.4 version however the above message appeared after restart and installation was complete, does anyone know the cause of this issue and how to resolve this please?

Hi Mike
Thanks for the reply, not sure what I've done to loose things but downloaded iTunes again after saving my library and everything seems fine now, only thing is I've also lost iDVD which I cannot replace, however I was in the process of upgrading to iLife 11 so I'll probabaly get iDVD back when I upgrade.

Itunes not supported on this architecture?

I tried to open Itunes after running an update and an error message says:
"You can't open the application Itunes because it is not supported on this architecture." How do I fix this?
Could someone please help me? I didn't even know computers had architecture!

I tried to open Itunes after running an update and an error message says:
I'll 3rd the suggestion to use LCC to clean caches, rebuilt launch services.
What was the update? Take a look at http://www.macfixit.com for reports and whether you can 'roll-back' to an earlier version if it is a problem with an update.
Doing an Archive & Install might be necessary. Might also be there was a Previous System Folder from a prior Archive and Install or something else.
Finally, I would use Disk Utility First Aid to repair your boot drive (you need to boot from DVD or another drive) and strongly recommend investing in Alsoft Disk Warrior to repair the directory. Disk Utility is not 100% reliable at finding and fixes a number of problems.

I just got a notice to update my firefox to 4.0 and when I downloaded the new software it indicated: that I can't open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture. Any ideas about what might be wrong and how to fix it?

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

/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:

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.

PSE 10 Not Supported on this Architecture

Just installed PSE 10 on my Mac. When I try to launch it, I get the following error message:
"You can't open the application "Photoshop Elements 10" because it is not supported on this architecture."
I'm on a mid-2009 vintage Macbook Pro with the following specs:
OS X 10.5.8
Intel Core 2 Duo
2.8 GHz
4 GB Memory
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks.

Thank you Barbara.
Here is an update and the solution for this issue:
I chatted with Adobe support. They suggested I create a new Administrator account and try to launch PSE 10 from the new Administrator account. The application launched successfully. However, I didn't want to go through the hassle of migrating my existing Admin account to the new one, so I asked if there was another solution.
They had me go back to my original Admin account and look at my Library Preferences files in [user]\Library\Preferences. Turns out I had some leftover files from PSE 6. They had me delete the file called "Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 Paths" and the folder called "Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 Settings". Then I uninstalled PSE 10 and reinstalled it, and now everything works fine.
Thanks again.

My Mac with OS 10.5.8 says I cannot open Firefox because it is not supported on this architecture. I tried to update my version, and this is all I get now. What can I do to use Firefox again? Thank you.

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
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
As of Firefox 4.0, a '''Intel''' Mac with OSX 10.5+ is required for Firefox builds from Mozilla. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/7.0.1/system-requirements/

Cs4 trial "not supported on this architecture" but I meet min reqs...

I cannot get the CS4 PS trial to open on my iMac.
I have an iMac G5 with 1G RAM. I am running 10.5.6 Leopard. Far as I can tell, that meets the minimum requirements listed on the product page.
I have downloaded the trial and installed it just fine. However, when I go to my applications folder, there is a circle with a line through it over my program icon and when I double click it says that CS4 cannot open because it is not supported on this architecture.
I'm very confused! I just picked up this iMac the other day from a girl who said she ran the trial just fine. But, she wiped the system clean and did a fresh OS install before selling me the machine. Now, I can't use CS4?
I am new to Macs, so please be gentle. I appreciate the help in advance!

The architecture error is nothing new and you can google for others with the same problem -- and with no better luck in finding a solution.
You can try the 'CS4 clean script' (also google-able) to clean the system prior to installing the full product but whatever you have is likely messed up because two trials were attempted.
When the Adobe software is installed, it allegedly writes data to the initial sector (MBR) of your drive which is not often wiped on normal reformats. You can either get a disk tool to wipe that area or try another hard drive.

Application Not Supported on This Architecture

Hey,
I'm having problems opening applications I have downloaded. Whenever I open applications such as "Firefox" and "Minecraft", and others, an error message shows up with the following: "You cannot open the application "App Name" because it is not supported on this architecture."
This has started ever since I updated my iBook G4 1.2 GHz PowerPC G4 10.4.11 to 10.5.8. These applications worked fine before the update. I would think more applications would work, after the upgrade... Any help?

If the applications you were running under 10.4.11 were running in the classic environment, you lost that when upgrading to 10.5 Leopard. Otherwise, the latest Firefox version for the PowerPC is version 3.6 and is located here.

Adobe acrobat pro is not supported on this architecture

adobe acrobat pro is not supported on this architecture i have cs4 me

I had this problem yesterday. An odd thing had happened, and a folder within the FCP had been corrupted somehow and was broadcasting that it was a .mov file, when it was in fact a folder.
The folder in question was the "MacOS" folder within the FCP application file. I created a new folder, moved the contents of the corrupted folder into the new folder, deleted the corrupted folder, and renamed the new folder MacOS.
And it works again.
Thanks to Zebulun, Jon Chappell, and Shane Ross for helping find a solution...

IMovie.app is not supported on this architecture - can't re-install

I'm trying to start up iMove 09 which I've been using since I bought it. I get an error that says.
You cannot open the application "iMovie.app" because it is not supported on this architecture.
I tried to re-install it from the disks and it gets to the page where I can customize the install, but nothing is checked and it won't let me check anything.
Need some help here please.
Thanks

It sounds like a problem with your graphics card. Do you have a dual display set up or any external graphics cards set up?
If not, here is an old trick, but it might work...
Open System Preferences/Displays
Change the resolution to some other resolution.
Change colors from millions to something else (thousands?)
Apply your changes.
Now go back and change your display settings to the original settings that you prefer (and change colors back to millions).
Sometimes that will reset the graphics card.

On PowerBook G4 OS 10.5.8 my chess App tells me "You can't open the app 'chess' because it is not supported on this architecture. It has worked before. What does that means? What can I do to get it working?

On PowerBook G4 OS 10.5.8 my chess App tells me "You can't open the app 'chess' because it is not supported on this architecture. It has worked before. What does that means? What can I do to get it working?

It sounds like you might have accidently copied Chess over from an Intel Mac, or an Intel Mac's installer DVD. The architecture typically means it is designed uniquely for either Intel or PowerPC. Be sure to extract Chess from the 10.5 Retail installer disc that looks like * and not any other disk. http://www.charlessoft.com/ 's Pacifist lets you extract individual applications from installers without having to reinstall everything.

Logic Pro "not supported on this architecture"!!!

Hello All,
I have been using Logic for a couple of years and in the last few months I upgraded from Logic Pro 7 to Logic Studio. It worked fine but.... I have just switched to a new iMac and installed the upgrade (with dongle from Pro 7) but after hours of installation Logic won't run reporting that it I can't open the application because it 'is not supported on this architecture'. Strangely Mainstage and Soundtrack Pro seem quite happy to open. Is this just a case of re-registering (in which case how do i unregister my old mac?) or is something else amiss.
Any help would be much appreciated. I am desperate to get up and running again.
Many Thanks
Nick

Do you know what you did to cause the problem?
I ask because my parents had a similar problem with both Mail and Address Book. I don't know what caused it, but I eventually had to reinstall those two apps with Pacifist.
My mother said she was deleting things that she thought she didn't need. My father thinks there was a short between the keyboard and chair. I tend to side with my father on this one.

"You cant run adobe flash cs4 because it is not supported on this architecture" HELP!

I just installed adobe cs4 design premium, and everything works fine except for the program I wanted most, which is Flash. It has a little circle with a line through the icon and whenever I try to run it, it tells me that it cant run because it is not supported on this architecture. I have already re-installed it four times and it never helps. I cant find any help on this board even though similar questions have been asked. Its on a brand new imac, can someone please help?

I'm afraid I don't have experience with troubleshooting this install issue to offer any sort of concrete answer about what's the quickest/easiest way to resolve it. Maybe someone else on this forum or a google search will provide some advice from people who have experienced this first-hand and will know the quickest steps to get the software running. If not, perhaps investigate partitions without journaling, or disabling it (the Apple site has info about this if needed).

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.
