That is correct... Power PC apps are no longer Supported... This was well documented Before Lion was released..
The Latest version of Office works with Lion...

I recently uploaded 10.8, but I have a number of VALUABLE old files which I can no longer read because "power PC applications are no longer supported. How can I retrieve them"?
Here is a post I assembled for another with a similar problem:
Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta. Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion). While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
Workarounds:
1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
2. If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;
3. Upgrade to an Intel compatible versions of your software, or find alternatives that will open your data files;
3. Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels:

Many years ago synced iCal with Microsoft program. Since installing Lion whenever I try to create an event in iCal it flashes up message "Unable to open Microsoft sync services Power PC applications no longer supported." How do I get rid of message?
Lion no longer supports PowerPC apps. If this is Microsoft Office 2008 (Entourage 2008) then you should disable the syncing services. (I don't have Office 2008 installed anymore so I don't know exactly what it's called anymore.) If you have Microsoft Office 2004 or earlier, then it can't be run on Lion at all since Lion removed Rosetta, which is what allowed a PPC app to run on an Intel based Mac.
Also, I believe Microsoft removed sync services from the current Outlook 2011 (which replaces Entourage) so even upgrading to a newer version of Microsoft Office will not get you back that calendar sync feature. Supposedly Microsoft is working on a new syncing system, but I wouldn't hold my breath. -
How to remove error message power pc applications no longer supported
How do you install photoshop 7.0 disk drive on a mac os x with the error message, "Power PC applications are no longer supported"?
Which version of mac os x are you trying to install photoshop 7 on?
If you really do mean photoshop 7 (cira 2002), then it won't work on any newer intel macs.
Photoshop 7 needs an PowerPC processor and your mac probably uses an intel processor. -

You no longer need the Epson utility. As of "Lion" and later versions of OS X all scanning functions are incorporated natively in OS X.
You can scan three ways:
Use Preview: File > Import from scanner
Use Image Capture(Preview and Image Capture are both in your Applications folder.)
System Preferences > Print & Scan. Select your device and use the Scan tab. -
I upgraded to 10.8.4 and now I can' use my Epson scanner I get a message saying, "ou can't open the application Epson Scan apps because Power PC applications are no longer supported." I also can't synch my old Palm Pilot for the same reason.
How can I fix this?We need to sort out some facts here first:
• You cannot be running Mt. Lion on your iMac G5. What Mac is it? What is the Model Identifier listed in About This Mac; More Info; Hardware Overview
• What is the model of your Epson Scanner?
• Have you attempted to scan using Image Capture, located in your Applications folder?
• Your Palm Pilot software will only run in Snow Leopard; so depending upon which Mac you have, you will either have to:
1) partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it to "dual-boot" when you want to access you Palm software, or
2) install Snow Leopard Server (now available from Apple for $20 telephone orders USA & Canda only) into Parallels 8 to run your Palm software in Mt. Lion:

I just upgraded my MAC from OSX 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard and then to Mountain Lion 10.8.2. When I try to access my Microsoft Office for MAC (2004 edition) files I am getting a message "can't open Office because Power PC applications are no longer supported. How can I access all of my save Word documents? I just want to be able to retrieve all of my documents that were in Microsoft Office for Mac (2004). If I purchase the newest version of MS office for Mac from Apple will I be able to retrieve my old documents?
Use any number of free alternatives to your nearly decade old version of MS Office.
Consider
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice (free)
OpenOffice (free)
In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for years. Life is better without Microsoft. -
? Why does my Photoshop PS2 open on my Mac Book Pro OS 10.6.8 Intel Core 2 Processor but not on my just purchased Mac Book Pro OS 10.7.3? On my new machine I get a message saying "You can't open Photoshop CS2 because Power PC applications are no longer supported". I don't have a Power PC on either machine and this App does run on the older machine with an Intel processor. benrusy
This is not new. The fact that Mac OS no longer supports PowerPC applications starting with OS X Lion has been known for over a year now. You'll need to upgrade to the latest version of Photoshop

Installed a new router. Installed Lion. Have an Epson Workforce 600 multi function printer. Two problems.
1. I cannot get Lion to recognize that the Epson is a multi function printer. There is no scan option on the "print/Scan" popup window.
2. When I try and use the epson scan utility I get: POWER PC APPLICATIONS ARE NOT LONGER SUPPORTED.
I have tried EPSON support with no real luck as they say it is Apple upgrades that are the problem.
Apple support was quite rude..said it was not their problem and that I should call epson. Told the I did but it made no difference just got the same reply.
Have no idea what to do.....seems I cannot find out which multi-function printers Lion supports.daolbuzzard1 wrote:

Not to give you another run around, but you need new printer drivers from Epson for your printer so it works in Lion.
Now it could be that they are working on it, or that they could have decided not to provide new drivers in order for you to force upgrade.
The only thing a user can do is decide very carefully BEFORE upgrading to a newer Apple operating system, make sure that all their current hardware and software works and make a decision for themselves.
Since you upgraded to Lion, you can go back to Snow Leopard and your PPC software will work.

Upgrading to Mountain Lion and lack of support for Power PC Applications
Hi
I have been reading with interest the comments and questions about this.
I am a bit of a novice with pc/mac terminology so was baffled to receive the message about Power PC Applications. I merely upgraded to Lion thinking it would be great to have the latest software on my Mac but am now unable to log into work remotely.
I log in using "Cryptocard" software and tokens. Does anyone have any experience of getting around the power pc application issue using the Cryptocard software? I an hoping I wont need to revert back to the previous software after spending £13 upgrading it!
Have contacted Cryptocard for support but comments are welcome
Many thanksI have no experience with Cryptocards, but,
Workarounds:
1. Revert to the original OS X that was operating on your Mac;
2. Upgrade your PowerPC applications to Intel versions;
3. Replace your software with alternatives that work in Lion;
4. Partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" system to run your PPC applications but not concurrently with Lion; or
5. Do what I do, install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels in Lion:

Hi, I have a sign being advised Power PC Applications no longer supported when I try to go into Microsoft Word, Excel, Entourage & MSN Messenger, hoe do I resolve this? Any help appreciated Sorry, this is for a Mac Air
Most versions of Office 2008 use an Universal installer. A few have one which is PowerPC-only.
In any case, Mac OS X Server 10.6 can be run in emulation, and Rosetta applications can be run in it. Saying that PowerPC-only applications won't run in Mac OS X 10.7 is correct. Saying that they won't run on a Mac which shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 is not.

I am trying to install Final cut pro 5 studio V1.0.1 (2005) on OS X lion. I get a message "You can't open the application final cut studio.mpkg because power pc application are no longer supported. My computer is New. Is their a link I can go to get tech support?
You won't find any help at tech support ... other than telling you the facts: Intel processor Macs require FCP 5.1 or higher. FCP 5.0 and earlier were written for PowerPC processor Macs, long before Apple switched to using Intel processors.
And then there's the issue of the OS. OS 7 will allow FCP 7 (and sometimes even FCP 6) to work OK, but versions earlier than that have spotty operation on Lion.
Here's a brief history of full FCP versions and recommended OS compatibility:
* = requires PPC ** = works with both PPC and Intel *** = require Intel
FCP 1.0* OS 9
FCP 2.0* OS 9
FCP 3.0* OS 9, OS 10.1, OS 10.2
FCP 4.0* OS 10.2, 10.3
FCP 4.5* OS 10.3
FCP 5.0* OS 10.3 (OS 10.4?)
FCP 5.1** OS 10.4, 10.5
FCP 6.0** OS 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 (OS 10.7?)
FCP 7.0*** OS 10.6, OS 10.7
FCP-X*** OS 10.6, OS 10.7
Essentially, you have a newer Intel processor Mac with a new OS and very old, incompatible software. You might be able to find a used version of Final Cut Studio 3 on sites like ebay or craigslist as it is no longer offered by Apple as an upgrade.
Alternatively, you could purchase and download FCP-X, but it is an entirely different application, sharing virtually nothing with previous versions of FCP.

Mountain Lion and Power PC application negation
Just downloaded Mountain Lion. Now I cannot use my "power PC' Applications like Excel or Word or Music Planet.
Why? Help!If you are unwilling or unable to update your version of Microsoft Office (or for your other PowerPC applications), consider installing Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7:

Here is Snow Leopard in Parallels 7 running in Mountain Lion:

We are SCA / having Full Control on the site but we have limited options in the Power BI application.
