Hi..
A Safe Mode boot helped this user, same topic > https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3262544?start=0&tstart=0
The graphic isn't exactly the same but a Safe Mode boot just may do the trick regardless.

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.

IOS 4 do not have Settings>General>Software Update.
You have to connect your iPad to iTune (computer) and Check for Updates.
Backup before you proceed with update.

When I connect my iPhone 4S to my MacBook Pro, the synchronization process by iTunes failed with the following message "My iPhone could not be synchronized, because the synchronization process has not started". What does that mean?

Hello,
When I connect my iPhone 4S to my MacBook Pro (through the USB port), the synchronization process by iTunes failed with the following message "My iPhone could not be synchronized, because the synchronization process has not started".
What does that mean?
Thanks in advance for fixing my problem.

I think I remember hearing that if you quit iTunes with your device still connected, then open iTunes up again, it should work.

My iphone has a red screen, what does this mean and how do I fix it?

I Left my Iphone on charge when I got home and went to use my phone it had a red screen, no idea what caused it or what if any underlaying problem the phone may have. Any one know anything about a red screen???????

There are four general causes of this issue:
1. The computer's PRAM no longer contains a valid startup disk setting when there aren't any problems with the disk itself. This can be checked for by pressing the Option key and seeing if the drive appears.
2. The internal drive's directory structure has become damaged. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to perform the repair.
3. Critical system files have been deleted. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to reinstall them.
4. The internal drive has died or become unplugged. This is the most likely case if the computer took a sharp impact or there are unusual sounds coming from the hard drive's location.

My SUID File has apparently been changed, what does that mean? Seems to affect my speed.

My SUID file, whatever that is , has been changed and is not fixed when I use Disc utilities to correct permissions. seem to be slowing things down.

That change is not the issue, does not need "fixing", and is not the source of your slowdowns. If it were a real issue, Apple would be providing a fix for it every time (else the genius Bar would be swamped with visits to fix that).
Please describe the SYMPTOMS you see in the greatest detail you can so that others can help you determine exactly what might be happening to your Mac. Slowdowns happen for dozens of different reasons.

Knowing who is your email provider would be a good starting point.
Your ISP?
One of the big free providers? e.g. googlemail, live mail/outlook.com/hotmail, yahoo, gmx/1and1?
Your webhost?

My projects icons turned to orange in Aperture?
Ana Candano, what is your Aperture version? Earlier Aperture versions - until Aperture 3.2.4 had colored icons, Aperture 3.3 and later are gray in gray. Do you have two versions of Aperture installed?
When you post back, list your version of MacOS X and the versions of any Aperture.app you can find with Spotlight on your Mac.
Frank, the thread you pointed to, was a different question, but probably is related. It would be good to know how it has been resolved.
