Photoshop-not supported on this type of Mac-Late 2011 MacBook Pro
Photoshop refuses to open on my computer, a late 2011 model MacBook Pro. This particular computer is running OSX 10.8.3, has a 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, and 8 GB of RAM.
When I try to open it, I receieve a "not supported on this type of Mac" error. What's going on here? Creative Cloud is basically useless if it won't work such a recent computer.
Does your Mac have a 64-bit processor?

Photoshop CS6 is not supported on this type of Mac (2012 MacBook Air)
Photoshop won’t launch on the latest MacBook Air 2012, OS 10.8.2, i7, 8GB. Installed the Adobe CS6 (Design/Web). All products work fine (although had to downgrade to Java6 to start Dreamweaver) but the PS icon is greyed out. When launching Photoshop CS6, I’m getting: You can’t open the application “Adobe Photoshop CS6” because it is not supported on this type of Mac”.
No idea what happend. I was installing the CS6 suite on a brand new MBAir. All software was fine, eg, DW, InDesign and so on. Only Photoshop failed. One strange thing was that the MBAir has Java 7 but when launching DW it asked me to install "newer" Java version (?). I did the SMC/PRAM reset. Then uninstalling and installing PS solved the issue.

CS6 Dreamweaver "Not Supported on this type of mac"
Hello All,
I have a new Macbook Pro w/ retina display. I recently bought Dreamweaver CS6 to complement Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 versions. I am running OS X 10.8.1 and Dreamweaver seems to run fine as does Photoshop and Illustrator. After installing the newest Dreamweaver update, it no longer works and gives the error ...Not Supported on this type of mac. I have seen this thread posted with regard to older OS versions but am unsatisfied with any responses and perplexed as my mac is brand new.
GeoKevinGeo, unfortunately, this is turning into a major problem although no one has figured out a solution. Keeping pressing Adobe support. I have a Mac but don't have this problem but you are not alone:

Motion not supported on this type of Mac
Hello all, I recently upgraded my hard drive after the experiences size issues. I moved from a 160G to a 500G. I installed the hard drive, formatted and used Migration Assistant to move my old HD data to the new. For the most part...things went well. However, I had recently downloaded Final Cut X and Motion from th App store. After the migration..nearly everything worked Lightroom, Final Cut, Photoshop, etc with the exception of Motion. The icon now has a circle with a line through it...and when I try and launch -- I receive an error message Motion is not supported on this type of Mac. Again, Motion worked prior to the install of the new HD.I went to download Motion again thinking that would resolve the issue. But, when I go to re-download...I get the message this app was not purchased through the App store..which of course is n ot correct...Any Thoughts?
Any info would be apprecaited..thanks,
PeteHi Ben and thank you for the response. Yeah, starting to agree with you...Migration Asst might not be the best way. It seemed to work well, however it never completed. After nearly 12 hours of it staying on 26% done -- I killed it. Regarding the issue...You may be right. What I had done prior to your response was contacted customer support (very helpful). The rep cleary saw that I had purchased it through the app store...made some changes, I redownloaded the app and all is well. Again, thanks for the response.

Dreamweaver CS6 "not supported with this type of Mac" problem
When I try to open Dreamweaver CS6 on my Macbook Pro, it says "You can't open the application Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 because it is not supported with this type of Mac. I'm not sure if this is a question for Apple, but why would it not work on my Mac? My Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign and Media Encoder all work just fine. Any help? Thanks!

Had a recent crash on my macbook, was previously using OS 10.6 I think. Restored from recent Time Machine backup and updated to OS 10.8.2 and now I cannot open Logic Pro 9. I get a 'No entry' Icon and a not supported on this type of Mac message. I cannot update either as anything up to 9.1.1 tells me I don't need it yet 9.1.2 tells me I need an eligable Logic Pro Version was not found in applications.
All of my files are stored in a separate hard drive with only the actual app having been on my Macbook. Should I just reinstall?Hi
To run Mouitain Lion you need to update Logic.
For the updaters to work the Logic application must be:
a) Within the Applications folder, and not in any sub-folder
b) Named "Logic Pro" with no extra numbers or spaces

I just downloaded the new Mavericks operating sytem on my mid 2010 MacBook Pro, 17" 2.53GHz, Intel Core I5 machine. My IPhoto is no longer working at all, I'm getting an error message that says - "You Can't open the application "IPhoto" because it is not supported on this type of Mac". I also loaded Mavericks onto my other MacBook Pro 17", mid 2009 model and everything works fine. I would think that the newer Mac would easily work with IPhoto. Also, when I try to download from the App Store, it asks for my Apple ID and Password, I enter it, and then the little spinning color wheel just spins forever, with nothing ever happening. I tried downloading the IPhoto Upgrade but it never actually downloads, HELP!!!
What version of iPhoto do you have installed? Is if one of the versions shown as not compatible in this screenshot?
If it is then go to the App Store and download iPhoto 9.5. It will be free if you have an iPhoto 9 or later verson currently.

Downloaded latest iTunes update. Now iTunes won't open, and the error message says "You can't open the application iTunes because it is not supported on this type of Mac." I have been using this MAc since 2008. Any suggestions appreciated.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It's a common problem that some users have after installing the most recent iTunes. Download and install again iTunes 11.0.3 to solve that problem > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1614 -
I recently upgraded my MacBook from Moutain Lion to Maverick.After upgrading I can not open the iPhoto.Whenever I try to open I get the message --You can't open the application "iPhoto" because it is not supported on this type of Mac.Tell me how to solve the problem?
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
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. -

You can't open the application "..." because it is not supported on this type of Mac.
I migrated all files from OS 10.7 to OS 10.8 through time machine. However, I always see error packages like the following if I want to run some .pkg files.
You can't open the application "..." because it is not supported on this type of Mac.
But when I switch to a different account, then the .pkg files can be run. Therefore, I think that there might be something wrong with my account configuration files. But I don't know which one. Does anybody which one might cause the problem and how to fix it? Thanks!softwater wrote:
And both are on the same startup disk, right? Because, to be honest, it's hard to figure out how you could have this problem with both accounts on the same startup disk, so I just want to check that before we get too involved.
Assuming that's the case, the first thing I'd do is remove all those except Dropbox from the list, then restart the mac and test for the problem. If that doesn't solve it, run this free analytical tool and post the results back here so we can see if anything stands out:

All of the sudden my System Preferences in Mavericks has stopped working and I get the error message:
You can't open the application "System Preferences.app" because it is not supported on this type of Mac.
It was working fine before this, and I have run Permissions Repair, restarted to another partition and run Diskwarrior and TechTool Pro, but none of those has helped. Anyone have any ideas why this happened, and what I can do to fix it?See this entire thread

You cannot open the application iTunes (11.1.4) because it is not supported on this type of Mac
After updating iTunes to 11.1.4 as suggested by automatic updates I get the message:
"You cannot open the application iTunes because it is not supported on this type of Mac"
Why did it let me do the update then?
How do I undo the uodate to iTunes?
This is on a Mac Mini running OSX 10.6.8 with 1GB memWhat processor do you have?
If it's a CoreDuo (as opposed to a Core2Duo), then you ave a 32 bit OS, and no... 11.1.4 won't run on a 32 bit OS.
=Downgrading from iTunes 11 to iTunes 10.7=
Back up your computer first, in case the wrong things happen.
Replace the iTunes 11 application with iTunes 10.7. I can't provide details on this since I do not have a newer computer. With mine it is very simple but I believe on newer computers iTunes has been integrated into the operating system. On mine I just go to my applications folder and drag iTunes to the trash. See below for possible suggestions on how to remove.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20431349
Get iTunes 10.7. Apple does not keep many old version up on its web site. I always keep an iTunes installer on my archive drive so I can have access to old versions . This one is hidden but it is on an official Apple site:
iTunes 10.7 for OS X http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg
You will have to rescue your old iTunes library from your Previous Libraries folder and rename it iTunes Library.itl because a newer version of iTunes irreversibly updates your library file. See:
https://discussions.apple.com/mesage/20401436 - turingtest2 11/2012 post on rebuilding empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash from previous iTunes library file.

"You can't open the application Safari because it is not supported on this type of Mac."
I vaguely remember some capability to rollback any updates. Is this true?
Where should I go from here?First you need to clear out some space on the startup volume. You should have at least 9 GB available. Then do as follows.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. -
Dreamweaver CS5 is not Supported on This Type of Mac
I recently got a new iMac and went to reinstal my CS5 Web Premium Student Edition and only installed Dreamweaver. I was able to use it yesterday fine. Today when I booted up. the dreamweaver icon has a anti symbol over it and says "you can't open the application "Adobe Dreamweaver CS5" because it is not supported on this type of mac."
What went wrong and what do I need to do to fix it? Thanks!I am running OSx 10.9 and I do not see anything about Roseta or Intel when viewing the info about the app. After I used DW yesterday fine, I ran the auto updates from within DW and perhaps when I rebooted this morning is when it broke. I just now uninstalled CS5 and reinstalled DW (I'm not using the other apps). It has updates to do but scared..
It wants to update the following:
Adobe Device Central CS
Adove Dreamweaver
- Adobe player
- CS Live Service
- Dreamweaver CS5 11.0.4 updater
- Adobe Extension Manager CS5 5.0 update
I haven't tried yet to update because either that or some other stange thing happened. I've never seen an app with an anti symbol over it.
