Software Not Compatible?

I've tried to download several different programs and updates but every time I go to open them a dialog box comes up either telling me that the program is no compatible with my OS or with "this architecture" and the icon has a grey "no" symbol over it... Not sure why... I am making sure I'm downloading the correct version that is supposed to be compatible with OS 10.5 and I have all the necessary system requirements. The programs that have done this so far are Fantashow, google chrome, and flash player plugin. Any insight?
p.s. I just tried to download the newest version of firefox and that did the same thing. but earlier today I downloaded audacity with no problems.

Maybe you should upgrade so you can use more security versions and Apple security.
Firefox 15 is what I am typingn on now.

  • I-tune software not compatible with iPhone and iPad

    When I connect my ipad or iphone it says that the required itunes software is not installed, despite me reinstalling it AND it running fine on my ipod. I have recently had to have Windows reinstalled and run Trend virus protection which also has been reinstalled. I have had computer technicians working online with it trying msconfig to try and sort it out, only to tell me it is an Apple problem!

    I don't know that this will work but have you tried disabling your firewall and turning off your anti virus software? That's a typical troubleshooting step if the iDevice is not being recognized so I'm not sure it would work for you but it is something you can try.
    Try some basic stuff if you haven't done so yet restart your PC and see if that helps at all. Restart the iPad as well.

  • Kodak software not compatible?

    Wifey uses Kodak EasyShare and it appears to be incompatible with new iMac running 10.6.2 - Unable to apply image corrections. I have uninstalled and re-installed EasyShare 6.2 - Kodak site offers little to no support for Mac users.
    She likes EasyShare program over iPhoto because it offers image correction features like brightness, contrast and cropping, plus saving a copy in various sizes, perfect for ebay, etc. And, she can upload and order prints from Kodak of course.
    Anyone have any info on the compatibility issues and possible fixes?
    Thanks

    Just a check. Kodak does say that you should disconnect ALL peripherals and close all programs before installing Easyshare. If you didn't do this it's possible that 1 or more components didn't install/install correctly. While this is often just a precautionary procedure it can be critical for some installers.
    If this is the case you should uninstall the program - I hope there is an uninstaller. If not you will need to locate any files installed by its installer and move them to the trash to ensure a complete reinstall. As I don't have the program I can't detail these for you.
    Kodak do say that it is compatible with Snow Leopard.

  • I cannot restore my ipad when I get to final step itunes message says iPhone software not compatible! 2 months now without Ipad

    I am going through the process of restoring Ipad and this message appears - This is my husbands mac My own laptop is work one and won't allow download of itunes so logging in under my won account but using the itunes application he downloaded with his account - Help please

    Sounds like you're trying to restore from an iPhone backup rather than iPad, make sure under iTunes that it sees your iPad & it states that it's connected & showing the iPad even if it means choosing iPad from the list.

  • I bought a new imac running Loin and Office 2011. The server we use to access emails runs exchange 2003 and my IT person says the imac is not compatible with the server. The server does not want to let me access using any email software.

    I bought a new imac running Loin with Office 2011. I am the only mac in the office and the Server we use to access emails runs exchange 2003 and my IT person says the imac is not compatible with the server. The server does not want to let me access using any email software other than webmail access through our website. It looks as though 2011 is not compatible with 2003 per some searches online, but what are some options I have to gain full access again? I purchased parallels in hopes that this my help and I am able to use remote desktop connection to log on to server but can not drag and drop files I need. There is a shared drive on that Server we all use to exchange files.
    The two main issues are gaining access to my email again and ability to drag and drop files from mac to pc. I hope this is enough info to get some solutions.
    PS - IT person says my iMac's IP is what his server does not understand so that is why I can not login.

    Office 2011 is not compatbile with Exchange 2003.
    I suggest you post further Office related questions on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software:

  • HT1199 My mac has OSX version 10.8.2 and I'm try to install an aiport express base station which requires 10.5.7 or later. Yet when I try to install the software it says the base station is not compatible with my mac version - how do I resolve?

    My mac has OSX version 10.8.2 and I'm try to install an aiport express base station which requires 10.5.7 or later. Yet when I try to install the software it says the base station is not compatible with my mac version - how do I resolve?

    You already have the software installed that you need if you have 10.8.2.
    If AirPort Utility cannot find the Express, that is another matter. More software is not needed. More troublehooting is needed.
    Power up the Express for a full minute
    Hold in the reset button on the Express for 7-8 seconds and release
    Allow a full minute for the Express to restart
    Click the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen
    Look for a heading of New AirPort Base Station
    Just below that, click on AirPort Express
    What happens?

  • I need a prior version of firefox...version 1.5 because my payroll department software is not compatible with firefox 6.0... how do I get the other - older - version ??

    my payroll department uses eSAP payroll program. It is NOT compatible with your new version...6.0. I need your older version 1.5 so i can access my payroll records. I am currently being forced to use Internet Explorer and I absolutely HATE that software.
    please help !!! How do I get the older version? Version 1.5 - thank you.

    I would hope the problem is that Firefox 5 is not compatible with some of McAfee's additional add-ons. It will be rather worrying if it has a problem with the McAfee security programs themselves. Please state exactly which software and version you are having problems with.
    There are known issues with McAfee's Site Advisor [/questions/839953#answer-205178] but it is hoped McAfee will solve that in a few weeks.

  • While updating iphone software to 5.0.1, I am getting error message that Iphone cound not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible. Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.

    While updating iphone software to 5.0.1, I am getting error that Iphone could not be updated because the firmware file not compatible.
    Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.

    Using iTunes 10.5.2.11 on a PC running 64 bit Windows 7
    First did a full back up of  iphone using iTunes
    Put iphone into Recovery Mode ( http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 ). Erases all user data and settings!
    Disconnected USB cable from iphone
    Powered off iphone by holding down Sleep/Off button until slider appeared, slid to off, waited until screen dark
    Pressed and kept holding Home button while plugging cable back into phone
    I still saw the graphic on the iphone that said to plug into iTunes, so I unplugged and re-plugged cable. (I may have released the Home button too soon)
    Recovery Mode alert came up in iTunes.
    Followed all iTunes prompts to restore phone - it downloaded and sucessfully installed iOS 5.0.1
    iphone did not appear in iTunes due to missing pairing file (that made me nervous)
    iphone was now at factory settings. I followed prompts on iphone screen to start reactivation process
    Eventually the iphone asked if I wanted to restore from a back-up (whew!)
    A window opened in iTunes and I was able to select my previous back-up file for the restore
    A full restore from back-up then occured
    I also allowed a carrier settings update to occur when prompted (not sure that happens in all cases)
    When the restore was done I had to re-enter some passwords, but everything was there
    iOS is now 5.0.1 (9A406). The whole process took about an hour.

  • Canon T3i download cable will no longer work after 10.10 download. Plugging the cable into the 15 inch laptop says not compatible with software. Was fine before the 10.10 upgrade.

    10.10 is installed. Now when plugging the download cable in from my wife Canon T3i camera to my wifes 15 inch Apple laptop it says not compatible with the software. Worked fine before the 10.10 upgrade. However I CAN download my pictures from my Canon 6D camera to MY 15 inch Apple laptop.....

    I have a DSC-T1 Sony camera. I also have a Panasonic video camera with a built in digital camera. I just took some shots with the Panasonic. Plugged it in, and it worked perfectly. iphoto opened and did what it was supposed to do. I then tried the Sony and nothing happened again. Maybe this is a problem with the mac not recognizing certain cameras...?????

    I am running windows 8 on an HP TouchSmart 520 but it says the HP Software is not conpatible with windows 8 is it possible to get a compatible version

    When requesting assistance, please provide the complete model name and/or product number of the HP computer in question. HP makes hundreds of TouchSmart models that are all different. Without this information it may be difficult or impossible to assist you in resolving your issue.
    THIS is HP's position on Windows 8 support and any HP computer not supplied with Windows 8;
    Not all Windows 8 features may be available on all PCs.
    Your particular experience with Windows 8 will be determined by the capabilities of your PC.
    HP is providing upgrade instructions and drivers will be available for most Windows 7 systems sold after 1st October 2011.
    If you want to restore the original operating system after upgrading, you must create HP recovery media before you upgrade.
    Please note that if you purchased your system prior to October 1, 2011, HP has not tested these PCs or developed Windows 8 upgrade instructions or drivers for them. Upgrading such systems may be difficult or impossible.

    Windows 7 PCs with touch screens will not have full Windows 8 touch capabilities after upgrade.
    HP PCs with touch input hardware designed for Windows 7 will provide a comparable experience for only two touch point applications after the upgrade to Windows 8. HP Windows PCs with touch input hardware will not support Windows 8 applications that require more than two simultaneous touch points.
    Additionally, Windows 8 edge swipes may not be available due to the recessed bezel on HP touch systems shipped with Windows 7.
    HP TouchSmart Magic Canvas and HP TouchSmart applications are not compatible with Windows 8 and must be uninstalled before upgrading. Note that content created using the TouchSmart applications such as Graphitti will not be available after upgrading.
