No longer supported pop up every 5 secs
Hi All,
I've just tried reconnecting to an old back up drive which is running a PowerPC application and get the following messaage:
"You can't open the application Notificationexe because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." keeps popping up. I've searched and found out why it pops up, removed all software that caused it and rebooted several times but it keeps popping up every 5 seconds.
Please can someone help and tell me how to stop the pop up!?
I have new Macbook air.
Thanks
Luke
Obviously I didn't search widely enough! Just seen another post which gives the following solution:
Go to Finder / Macintosh HD / Library / Driver Support /
and delete all of the related nastys in there, in my case it was the notification exe. Once you have deleted these dump them out of your trash as well.
Might as well leave this on here in case anyone else comes on in a panic like me!
Thanks,
Luke

i keep trying to download the Photoshop free trial on my windows xp but an error message that says "You are running an operating system that Photoshop no longer supports" pops up, any idea why?
Because Photoshop CC requires Windows 7 or above...

Shortly after upgrading to version 10.7, I installed an application that was not compatable with the LION operating system. The application was for an external Maxtor hard drive that appearantly was intened for an earlier Mac operating system.
Now I get the popup "You can't open the application NotificationExec because PowerPC applications are no longer supported" about every 10 seconds.
How to I get rid of this.
There is nothing to Force Quit. The process (if it is a process) does not show up in Activity Monitor. I have also tried to use the KILLALL command but no process is found by that name.Absolutely frustrated by the same problem, just lost 3 hours of my day trying to uninstall after getting the same error message. The ONLY thing that worked for me was going to the following Maxtor (Seagate) URL:
http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/199931en
I downloaded their "remove maxtor sw.zip" file
Click here to download the remove_maxtor_sw.zip file and store it on your system's desktop.
And it worked perfectly. Took 10 seconds and - after restarting - it was done.
What a waste of the day!!! -
When trying to setup my external hard drive, I get this box that pops up and says this:
You can’t open the application “LaCie Setup Assistant” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.PowerPC was a type of processor used in Mac systems before Apple switched to Intel-based processors. These older chips required applications to be coded differently, to the extent that they will not run on the Intel processors in newer Macs. Apple used to include a translator that allowed these programs to at least run, but this translator is no longer available so if you run into an older PowerPC-based program then OS X will give you this error.

Pages software in 10.8.3 does not support previous work done on microsoft office 2004. Pop up says -- You can't open the application "Mircosoft Excel" because Power PC applications are no longer supported. What can I do now?
Use Numbers, OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Microsoft Office 2008 or newer, Google Docs, or similar tools to open the files.

Since downloading osx v10.7lion every time i try to connect to the internet using BT Broadband i keep getting a message saying
" you cant openthe application ) because Power PC applications are no longer supported." this is very annoying as i likeBT and the way it opens with all the local up to date news plus other apps +++
Please can anyone help me as apple will not help unless i sign up for a new product agreement which i cannot understand as every thing worked before this so called very latest software that everyone cant do without ?????I had the same problem with some apps and printer setup software. SInce Rosetta has been discontinued on Lion my only solution was to restore to 10.6 since the manufacturers either have not yet or will not release updated apps. In this case you have to determine how important those old PPC apps are to keep around and if there alternitives that are available to replace the functionality. I would expect a broadband provider to update thier apps if it is something that is required to connect.

As iMac user upgraded to Mountain Lion lost all Legacy connection with years of Apple/Mac data storage. How can recovery since every default says "no longer supported, After years of Mac software use now it is not accessible ??????
Please provide more details. What version OS X were you using?
Are you saying that Mail faIled to upgrade and you lost your old mail?
Are you asking about PowerPC applications that require Rosetta to run like AppleWorks and Microsoft Office 2004? -
Ever since I updated my software to Mountain Lion, I've been getting the attached pop-up every 10 Minutes. It's really slowing down my web-browsing and super annoying... How do I get it to go away?

You can't open the application NotificationExec because PowerPC applications are no longer supported
I have Lion OS X 10.7 on my MacBook Pro 15'' and I've tried to install an application for an external Maxtor hard drive.
But it seems to be compatable only with previous Operating Systems because now every 5 seconds I get the popup
"You can't open the application NotificationExec because PowerPC applications are no longer supported".
I have deleted all the applications of the external hard drive from the Applications folder, and from the trash as well.
But it doesn't help because the message is continuing to pop-up.
Please help me somehow.I had already formatted the external Maxtor external hard drive but it didn't help because the problem came when after formatting I tried to install an application (belonging to Maxtor) to the MacBook. The application was meant for an operating system previous to Lion.
The solution is to remove everything belonging to Maxtor from your Mac.
I deleted the Maxtor application from the Applications folder, but it wasn't enough. After struggling in google I found this solution and it worked!
HERE IS THE SOLUTION:
First remove all the Maxtor applications you've installed from the Applications folder (just trash them and empty the trash).
Then go to Finder and from Macintosh HD -> Library -> Driver Support -> DELETE THE MAXTOR APPSYOU FIND IN THIS FOLDER AND EMPTY THE TRASH !
But the Library folder is hidden, so if you don't know how to find it (I don't remember exactly because I did it at 1 am at night in the desperation after looking for the solutions in many forums for hours) you can go to Helpand write library, then from All Help -> what is the Library folder? and there it is explained!
Now you are free!!! -

Keep getting message "Powerpc applications are no longer supported"
I get the fact that after installing Lion my Power PC applications are no longer supported - how do I get this message to stop popping up every time I try to use my calendar?
There is a "Remove Office" app that gets installed with MS Office. Using that is very much more effective than using the Trash because dragging the app to the Trash does not rid you of a huge number of support program that MS uses for Office.
I don't have Office 2004 on any of my Macs but, in Office 2008, this folder in "Applications:
[click image for larger view if needed]
has an "Additional Tools" folder that contains the Remove Office folder. Again, it may be in a different spot in Office 2004, but look for an Office folder that contains apps you don't normally access directly.
If you can't find it, you may wish to ask in the Office for Mac forums that MicroSoft sponsors:
Office for Mac forums
NOTE: Your issue should only affect Office 2004 and earlier. If you have Office 2008 or 2011, something else is afoot and you need to let us know the version. -
after updating to Mavericks a window pops up saying "Power PC applications are no longer supported" when I try to open AppleWorks6, Microsoft Word, and Illustrator CS. How can I access my files. Secondly, is there a way to allow these programs to function?

Quite honestly, a step by step guide to install Windows into Parallels could be needed by some basic or novice users, as well!
My point is to not scare aware a user with a problem where a potential solution exists.
This is especially true because some of the few, but vocal, "naysayers" about this approach would use your statements to validate their continued criticism of it.
One guy in particular criticises every option other than upgrading to Mavericks compatible software, even when the OP clearly expresses a problem where that option does not exist! ... and he was an early and very vocal proponent of the "installing Snow Leopard into a new partition - 'dual-booting' solution" when Lion was first released back in 2011! -
I have an older 8GB black iPod Touch (no bluetooth) no longer supported by tech. It is "locked" in restore mode. When I do a 2 button reset I can get the Apple logo but then it pops back to the synch cord-and-music disc icon indicative of restore. Any advice?

'New Icloud Terms and Conditions' window pops up every time I try to check my email, or when I open setting. My email doesn't load because of this, so I haven't been able to check my email for months. When I click, 'view terms' it takes me to my Icloud section in settings, but the terms don't pop up. I plugged it into my iTunes to see if it would pop up, but that didn't work either. My phone is updated, and I'm pretty sure I already accepted the new terms and conditions on the last update a few months back.
Hi munaxnight,
If you are having issues with your iPhone continuing to ask you to accept terms and conditions, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
Force an app to close in iOS
Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

I deleted my old email address and added a new one, after my iPhone died iCloud keeps popping up asking for the password of my old email address. I can't remember my password and the account is still gone, it pops up every few seconds. How can I fix this?
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.
