Upgraded to 10.8, now Quicken 2006 not working because PowerPC apps are no longer supported? What should I do?
I upgraded my computer to 10.8, and now PowerPC applications won't work. I have Quicken 2006, and I need a way to run it. Is there a software or anything that I can run it with? Or can I find the files on my computer somewhere and put them into a newer version of Quicken, such as 2013?
You can install Snow Leopard on an external disk, then boot to that to use your PowerPC apps.
Or, you can upgrade the Apps to versions that are Intel or Universal. Quicken 2007 was recently updated to a Universal version--it only took them about five years.

I upgraded my iMac to Mountain Lion and now my Canon Pixima MP500 will not open because PowerPC apps are no longer supported! Has anyone experience this problem?
Correct. Applications designed to run on the old PPC Macs (which Apple stopped making in 2005) cannot run on Mountain Lion.
You need to update your printer driver:

I just bought and downloaded LION and now I get a box that says Microsoft Word and Excel can not open because PowerPC Apps are no longer supported. How can I reactivate Word and Excel.
You need to upgrade to Office 2008 or newer, or switch to a product such as OpenOffice or iWork.

I just updated to Lion and my Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint will not open because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. I bought this software from Apple and the store installed it when I bought the MAC. What do I do?
Buy version 2011 of MS Office.
Or you can download OpenOffice, LibreOffice or NeoOffice, which all come very close to working with MS files just like MS Office does.
Or iWord, I have heard, you can purchase. -
I just upgraded to OS X Lion and now I can't open the application Adobe ImageReady CS because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
There is no fix. It simply means that the software is outdated. Adobe would need to release a newer non-PPC version that supports Lion. They may have done that already, I don't know.

I have a 4yo MacBook Pro that has a super-old version of Microsoft Word ('04?). When I try to open a Word document, a note pops up saying that PowerPC apps are no longer supported. How do I change my default document opener to Pages?

Can I safely send the Word Office icons and anything else related to it that shows up in spotlight to the trash?
You mean for Office apps? That, I don't know for sure as I don't use MS Office on my Mac. I would check to see if there is some sort of MS Office uninstaller that needs to be run before dragging the icons to Trash. Either from one of the Office apps Help or About or search the Internet for a solution.

New MacPro 10.9.4 purchased three weeks ago included Keynote. App worked fine. New update for Keynote was released August 21. Just downloaded the 6.2.2 update. Tried to launch app and now get error message "You can’t open the application “Keynote.app” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." Confused as to why it worked prior to update. Nothing else has changed. No issues with recent iMovie, Pages or Numbers updates. Any ideas?
I tested this:
Reinstalled Aperture 3.1 from the Trial Installer.
In some way it seems to be working. But the whole thing is a scary Chimera.
It can create an Aperture library. I can import and edit images, even in Graphic Converter ias an external editor.
But the Media Browser does not show the aperture Library that I created.
The versioning is inconsistent. The library appears as an Aperture 3.4 library in the Finder. Aperture 3.5 seems to be able to read this library and to upgrade it to 3.5
The Applications folder is showing the application as version 3.4 and as compatible. Spotlight is showing it as illegal.
When opening the chimera Aperture, I see plenty of warnings in the Console window:
An Aperture "Hang" report
xpcproxy assertion failed
com.apple.IconServiceAgent: main failed to composite image
quicklookd: Warning
and more ... the hang was critical. I had to force quit Aperture more than once.
So be careful. I would not trust any important Aperture library to this patched application, without testing thoroughly. Be careful with your precious photos. -
You can't open the application Quicken 2007 because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
I upgraded to Mac OS X Lion and then tried to launch my Quicken 2007 for the MAC... Quicken would not start up...I received the following message "You can't open the application Quicken 2007 because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
What can I do to slvage my financial records????It sounds like you recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion. As you have found out PPC appications such as Quicken are no longer supported. You will need to upgrade to other financial software, there are a number of them out there that will work fine on Lion. If you have a bootable clone you can boot from that and then export your Quicken data to a format most Lion finacial software can import. The software I chose is iBank which I like howevrer there are a number of other choices.
Your records are in tact and you may have to jump through some hoops to get to them but rest assured they are safely stored on your system. The file format iBank and other financial software is looking for is a .QIF so you can look on your system to see if you have .QIF already and when it is dated.
If you are interested in iBank here is a link to their Tutorials page and you will see how easy it is to import Quicken information:

Just upgraded to Mac Lion... can't access Appleworks6...get this message... "You can't open the application AppleWorks 6 because PowerPC applications are no longer supported".... I've got dozens of documents saved that I can't access?!!!!!
Rosetta is not included Lion, if you are not familiar with Rosetta it was an application included in Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard that allowed PPC based apps to run on Intel based machines. That was over 5 years ago so it's time to move on. As has been suggested you can read those documents in Pages which is available on the App Store. Pages is part of the iWorks suite that replaced AppleWorks years ago. Currently iWorks is on iWorks 09 , and includes Pages, Numbers and Keynote. You can find each on the App store.

I just download mountain lion to my mac, now microsoft office suite doesn't work....it says 'you can't open the application 'microsoft word' because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. What does this mean and what do I have to do to fix it?? HELP!!
Install Snow Leopard on another boot partition, or upgrade Microsoft Office to a newer version, or use any number of better alternatives. Some of them are free.
Consider
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice ($10)
OpenOffice (completely 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 over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft. -
Downloaded 10.7 now can't access AppleWorks: "You can't open the application AppleWorks 6 because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
Yvan has got AppleWorks working under emulation:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15918064#15918064
As to iWork:
Word Processing documents can be opened directly only in Pages.
Draw Documents can be opened directly only in EazyDraw (the more expensive version from their website, not the cheaper one from the Mac App Store).
Spreadsheets can be opened directly only in Numbers.
Presentations can be opened directly only in Keynote.
To use other programs, or open Painting or Database documents at all, you must export from AppleWorks first. Nothing will import AppleWorks databases: the only way to deal with them is to export them to ASCII text (of course you need AW running to be able to do this) and open them in a database program - the best choices are Bento for very simple databases or FileMaker Pro - please see these pages:

If you want to downgrade back to Snow Leopard, please see Kappy's post here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15764708#15764746
Please particularly note his warning that the process will erase your hard disk and you must make a backup first (not in Time Machine using Lion). -
System Automatically notified me of an update for Safari - told it to continue. After a few seconds, the system displayed about 12-14 error messages:
“You can't open the application tar because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.”
Package being updated: Safari v6.0.1
Package displayed size: 48.5 MB
My system is:
NOTICE: it is NOT a PowerPC!
What's going on??? This is a reoccuring problem with many updates..Your profile states Mac OS X (10.7.1) is this correct?
From the update web page this is the info
Safari 6.0.1
Note: For OS X Mountain Lion systems, Safari 6.0.1 is included with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2.
SafariAvailable for: OS X Lion v10.7.5, OS X Lion Server v10.7.5, OS X Mountain Lion v10.8 and v10.8.1
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5502?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Perhaps you need to update from 10.7.1 to 10.7.5 if you can before trying to install the Safari update.
If you do update to 10.7.5, make sure you have good backups available. -
I am trying to open the application for educational software and the message You can't open the application Install because PowerPC applications are no longer supported....keeps appearing...help
The installer is for a PowerPC-based Mac, last produced in 2006.
Often, that software is just a "reader" that displays a menu of items to select from. The files themselves are in folders on the disk and you may be able to access them without using the installer.
