PowerPc no longer supported?

I have an iBook G4 10.5.8 Mac OS X, 1.33 GHz. Until today my flash player was working just fine, but after trying to watch a video it asked me to upgrade to the newest flash player. I uninstatlled my old flash, installed the new one only to see that PowerPcs are no longer supported. Great. I tried to install an earlier flash player but websites like youtube won't run off the earlier flash players. Am I just screwed in this situation? Or is there another solution I'm not seeing?

I also suspect the same problem. I am using MacG5 system 10.4 and constrained from later system versions by the Power PC chip. The latest Adobe version 1,1,102,55 appears to require the Intel chip. Youtube demand the latest version. Seems I am screwed also. Does the solution lie with u tube? Nice to get an answer.

I can no no longer open any of my documents in microsoft word and a message saying powerpc no longer supported comes up

I cno no longer open any microsoft word documents- a message comes up saying powerpc no longer supported. help!

Office 2008, which does run in Lion, MUST BE INSTALLED BEFORE you upgrade to Lion, because its installation program has Rosetta-required PPC code.
Another issue is that many people with legacy MS Office data files are experiencing severe problems with translation of the legacy files by MS Office 2008 or 2011.
For example, I must access a file once a week that I created in MS Excel 2004 and its graphs are scrambled by Excel 2011. I continue to access it with Excel 2004 in Snow Leopards installed in Parallels 7 in Lion:
If you decide to continue to use your version of MS Office (even as a backup to obtaining Office 2011, but with conversion problems), full installation instructions for Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) in Parallels 7 in Lion are here:

PowerPC no longer supported -what else can i do?

Have just purchased a sassoon font for MAC (at £67!) and error message 'powerpc no longer supported' appears when i try to install.
What else can i do?
Thanks

You have Mac OS Lion listed as your operating system, however, Lion is not supoorted on Power PC. If you really are running Lion natively then there should not be a problem. Not that I think you are mistaken about your OS, but it may be an error with the font itself that wrongly thinks you are using Power PC. You should really contact customer support of the company you bought the font from.

Cannot install printer driver powerpc no longer supported, but works on older mac

Since I use the same driver on an old Mac Book Air, which had a Lion upgrade put on it, whats the problem?
Yes I have a Dell 3115cn printer, which I use on PC's and My Mac Book Air. The Air was upgraded to Lion and works fine with this printer... All is well
So I buy another MAC Book air, which has Lion pre installed on it. Used migration assistant to copy Mac, but failed. Could not log into main user, FileVault problem. So start with a new user on new mac. Shame.
So I go to install the DELL 3115cn driver and I get the message "You can't open the application Dell 3115cn Installer because PowerPC applications are no longer supported". Which I under stand what it means, but the same driver works fine on the other Lion machine.
Does anyone know if I can by pass this validation? surly the message is completely wrong, else it would not work on my older mac (with lion installed)
May be only the installer is PowerPC stuff. In which case does anyone know how to copy the Printer driver of the older mac. Is that possible?

Hello,
the problem is not the printer driver that does not work in Lion, the problem is the installer application which seems to be a PPC based application.
Eventually you may just copy the DELL printer driver itself from the working Air to the system in question.
You will find the appropriate folder (Printers) either in the user's Library or the systems library, depending of the former DELL installation method of the driver.
There will be a subfolder named DELL
As both library's are hidden in Lion you have to use "go to" -> "go to folder" from the menue bar to access the library's.

Converting Imovie HD to Quicktime because PowerPC no longer supported

I have Imovie HD files that I created for use in my powerpoint presentations and had no trouble accessing them til I got Lion software with my MacBook Pro 2011. HELP! I need those files and cannot open them and don't know how to convert them! Other tips on how to avoid this problem in future welcome.
Thanks! Terese

If the version of iPhoto you have is from Snow Leopard and prior, then it will need to be updated to function with Lion or Mountain Lion. This is because applications which were meant to be usable on 32 bit versions of OS X and non-intel processors, are no longer supported.
Any old programs which are not fully 64 bit and designed to work with intel processors will not function with Lion or Mountain Lion.

The application MIDISPOT remote can't open because PowerPC no longer supported, what do I do about that?

so what do I do about that?

PowerPC support was dropped with 10.7. You either need to downgrade to 10.6 if possible or find a 10.7 compatible version.

TS1394 After installing maverick, microsoft entourage fails to load due to "PowerPC applications no longer supported." Now what do I do to get my email back ?

After installing OS X 10.9.1 maverick, my email program, microsoft entourage, fails to load because "PowerPC" no longer supported. What do I do now ?

I've been holding off upgrading to Mavericks until I feel like I've identified the problems I'm most likely to encounter and have a solution for them. This concerns me, becasue I thought Office 2008, including Entourage, was good to go. It's very definitely not a PPC application - I'm running it on Lion (which can't run PPC programs), and Activity Monitor identifies it as Kind=Intel. Is the issue that Mavericks is misidentifying Entourage 2008 as a PPC application?

Use the Finder "Go" menu while holding down the option key to expose your User / Library folder.
Look in the Application Support folder for PACE items and delete them.

HT1338 I am trying to setup my external drive, but when I do, I get a box that pops up that says You can't open the application "LaCie Setup Assistant" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported".

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.

Can't install Final Cut Studio 2 because "PowerPC applications are no longer supported"

Bought a brand new 15" MacBookPro OS X 10.7 2.2Ghz Intel Core i7 and tried to install Final Cut Studio 2. Got the error message "You can't open the application FinalCutStudio.mpkg because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." Oh no, does this mean I have to spend more money!???

I'd like to provide an update on this situation in case anyone is in the same boat I am.
I went to the Apple store today. I asked if I could downgrade my operating system. They said no, since it came pre-installed with Lion. I asked if Final Cut Studio 3 was compatible with Lion. They said yes, for the most part. They said there was an issue exporting video in 1080p.
Of course, conveniently Apple is no longer selling FCS3 and the ones on Ebay I saw have gone up to more than $650 a copy. I am out $400 for stupidly buying FCS2 a few months ago, which is now useless to me. I told the Apple guy that I'm not buying FCS X until they work out all the kinks. This leaves me with this laptop that I bought for video editing with no editing software to use.
I never thought I'd say this, but I'm actually considering getting Premiere Pro now for Apple, which is supported in Lion and is running a deal for 50% off. (http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/faq.html#lion-os) If Apple doesn't start selling FCS 3 again, they are really not giving me any choice but to switch!

I have an Epson scanner that is apparently no longer supported because it is a PowerPC app. It's a very good scanner that worked fine until I upgraded to OS Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro. Any suggestions on how I can continue to use it?

I installed Lion 10.7.4. Went to use Photoshop Cs and got a popup window. You can't open the application Adobe Photoshop CS because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. Is there a way of getting this to work or do I have to get the all new!

Welcome to Apple Communities
PowerPC applications are unsupported in newer versions. You can upgrade Photoshop or you can install Snow Leopard in a partition.
1. Open Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities) and select your drive
2. Go to Partitions tab, press + button, create a new partition and press Apply
3. Insert the Snow Leopard install DVD and reboot pressing C key
4. Install it in the new partition
5. If you want to change boot, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk and select 10.7

Did I miss something in the fine print? I installed Lion and and come to find out, I can no longer open any Word documents or Excel spreadsheets as they are no longer supported (being PowerPC apps). Seriously?!?!?!?!! What are my alternatives?

Hi Mary and Matthew
You might find it helpful to "try before you buy" - there is a 30 day free trial offer for Office for Mac 2011, accessible from M's .com website.
You may be able to use this period to open and resave your old documents in a format that enables you to switch instead to using Apple's iWorks apps moving forward.
I initially intended to do something similar, but ended up buying Office as it provided an easier way (for me, at least) to continue working with years worth of old emails, letters, spreadsheets and other documents (from my PC days) without risking damage to their integrity, formatting, etc.

A pop up is displayed every 10 seconds "You can't open the application NotificationExec because PowerPC applications are no longer supported"

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!!!
