Mac applications not compatible with 10.5.1

I got the message when using Safari and Address book : You cannot use the application “Address Book” with this version of Mac OS X.
Other applications work fine.
10.5 *****
Any ideas

Did you do an Archive and Install?
If so, are you trying to start Address Book from the icon on the dock?
I ask because I found that after an A&I the dock icons are left over from your old installation and they may try to load the application from the "Previous System".
The cure is to "poof" the old icons and start the app from the Applications folder in your new Leopard install. Then, of course, you can keep the new icon on the Dock.

    There is a version of Firefox 4 available for PPC Macs:
    TenFourFox 4.0.1 Firefox 4 For PowerPC Browser Released
    Version 4.0.1 of TenFour Fox, FloodGap's port of Firefox 4 for Power PC
    Macs that supports both Mac oS X 10.4 and 10.5. has been released.
    Mozilla.org dropped support for OS 10.5 after Firefox 3.6 and for Power
    PC with the fourth beta of Firefox 4.
    TenFourFox uses almost all the same code as Firefox 4 and has nearly all
    the same features, including faster JavaScript, WebM video, and HTML 5
    and CSS 3 support, as well as new and emerging Web features, but with
    the code needed to keep your Power Mac functional and fast. Out of beta
    and it's ready for action, versiob 4.0.1 is a performance, security and
    stability update incorporating Mozilla's Firefox 4.0.1 plus AltiVec acceler
    -ation for WebM and browser graphics, and G5 JavaScript acceleration.
    For more information, visit:
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    Source: from http://www.applelinks.com - posted April 25, 2011)
    Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
    http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
    But there is a workaround!
    Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
    Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
    Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
    Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
    With SilverLight, Microsoft attempted to create their own version of what a replacement for Flash could be - but not to universal acclaim. You can read more about it here:
    http://silverlight.net/
    So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards) if you are using a PPC Mac, but even this will not work with Safari 4. Version 2 only works with Intel Macs and does work with Safari 4/5. The solution is to download and install the latest version of Flip4Mac, which now includes a Silverlight component:
    http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.htm
    But the latest news is that Microsoft will probably abandon Silverlight in favour of HTML5:

  • .mac encryption not compatible with popular AIM certificates

    I recently switched on encryption in iChat AV 3. I was happy to test it out with my family, who use .mac screen names in iChat. I was bummed, however, to go to work and use my AIM account to IM back to my home computer.
    My AIM account at work uses a Thawte certificate. No worky. I also tried an aimencrypt certificate. Also no worky. Is there a way to encrypt an AIM account and have encrypted IM sessions with encrypted .mac accounts?
    If the answer is no, .mac encryption is mostly worthless. Not a great user experience to get excited about it and switch it on unknowingly. In fact, it's a poor one.
    Thoughts?
    Scott

    Thanks, Ralph.
    The problem with limiting encrypted communication to only paid .mac subscribers is that it signifigantly devalues the application. As encryption become more prevelant, fewer users will use iChat. In my opionion, that's not a good thing.
    Similarly, the Groups section of .mac suffers virtually the same requirement. Unless the .mac subscriber base were to increase signifigantly from where it is now, both applications are not useful.
    Cheers!

  • IPhoto not compatible with OSX Yosemite

    I have a MacBook Pro  (17 inch, early 2011) with a 2GHz Intel Core i7 and 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3.
    A few weeks ago I downloaded the Yosemite operating system (10.10.3). Since then, my iPhoto application will not open. I can't save pictures to my computer from my phone and I can't edit pictures I've imported. When I try to open iPhoto, it says: "In order to open "iPhoto", you need to update to the latest version. The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac is not compatible with OS X Yosemite. Download the latest version for free from the Mac Apple Store."
    I search the app store for iPhoto and no updates are available. The message displayed is: " The item you've requested is not currently available in the US store."
    Anyone know what to do to solve this? I really need to be able to edit photos. Thanks for helping!

    You need iPhoto 9.6.1 for use with 10.10.3.  Try the method Terence Posted in this topic to get it from the App Store:

    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
    Otherwise you can drag your iPhoto Library onto the Photos app icon in the Dock to covert it to a Photos library.

  • HP C5380 DVD/CD Printing Feature Not Compatible With Mac

    I purchased this all-in-one specifically for the feature of printing direct to cd/dvds. Other functions work fine but this will not. After contacting HP Support I am informed that this feature is not compatible with Mac. Surely this is false advertising as nowhere on the packaging can I find any reference to this. Under specifications it shows that system requirements were Mac OSX 10.5.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix? I have searched mac support but can find no reference to this. Interested to hear other viewpoints and experiences. 

    Hello,
    I would try printing directly on CD/DVD from the application HP Photosmart Studio.. Follow the steps below:
    1. Open HP Photosmart Studio
    2. Select an image from the Photosmart Studio library/browser
    3. Choose "Create" in the toolbar
    4. In the menu on the left, choose the following settings:
    - Project: CD/DVD Label
    - Label Type: CD/DVD (5 inch/120 mm)
    5. Move the image from the media bar to the label, resize it if necessary
    6. Click "Print" on the toolbar
    Regards,
    Vicarious

    I thought the disk utility icon on the desktop may be related to my old software. I was going to move it totrash but it had over 2000 files and so I did know if it was still being used or could be moved to trash.
    What kind of files are in there? Sounds like a carry over from your last system. DiskUtility should only be kept in Utilities with a shortcut in the dock or an alias on the desktop, idealy.

  • TS2565 I have just installed logic pro  Version 9.1.1 to my new mac book , purchased in 2012 December. I am now being told my version of logic is not compatible with my version of OS X. Help!!!

    I have just installed logic pro  Version 9.1.1 to my new mac book , purchased in 2012 December. I am now being told my version of logic is not compatible with my version of OS X. Help!!! What can I do. I tried upgrding the logic pro software but this didn't help. It still won't open.
    Many thanks

    How did you install Logic onto your new Mac Book?
    From the App store or from the DVD boxed set?
    If it was downloaded from the App store then it should already be v9.1.8... and if it isn't you need to call Apple to help you sort this out.
    If it was originally from the DVD boxed set then you must update using software updates....
    If software updates cannot find Logic to update it then you either have...
    Renamed the Logic Pro app in which case rename it back to Logic Pro
    or
    The Logic Pro App is not in the applications folder which is where it needs to be to be updated... so move it back there.

  • How do I access "Firefox is NOT compatible with this application. For best performance, please use Internet Explorer 5.0 and above...." web sites; when I try to download any alternate browser, then a warning that alternate is "imcompatable with your opera

    How do I access websites that warn: "Firefox is NOT compatible with this application. For best performance, please use Internet Explorer 5.0 and above...."? When I try to download any alternate browser, all I get is another warning that the alternate is "not compatible with your operating system." Is Firefox preventing this? The site listed below is a job application site. I've had this same problem with other job application sites also.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    https://storefront.kenexa.com/lithia/cc/Home.ss

    There should be a User Agent Switcher menu item under Tools, which gives you the browser names you can impersonate.
    The menu item name changes to the browser UA you are presently using.
    There is also a User Agent Switcher button, you can add it using View -> Toolbars -> Customize, and dragging the button to your toolbar.
    See http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/features/ and http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/help/
    You can just start trying IE versions (or the versions it says on the site) until it lets you in.
