Why won't NetZero open on OSX 10.4.7?

On my old iBook G4, I have never had a problem with NetZero dial-up (the only service available in the area where I use it during the summer.) When I try to open the same application on my newer MacBook Pro, I get a message "You can't open the application NetZero because Power PC applications are no longer supported." (My old iBook G4 was a PowerPC G4.) Net Zero says that it must be a computer problem, not a problem with their software. Does anybody know a workaround? Are there other dialup services – AOL, for instance – that will work on OSX 10.4.7? Or will I have to stick with the old iBook G4?

It's telling you the exact situation: PowerPC applications are not supported under Lion, and will not be in any future version of Mac OS X. You would need to get updated software from NetZero that supports Intel-based Macs - and the NetZero tech obviously doesn't know what s/he is talking about; it's absolutely their software. If your MacBook came with an earlier version of Mac OS X and you're willing to revert from Lion back to that older version, that would get you back PowerPC support. Of course, you'll need an external modem with your MacBook; I presume you have one?
Otherwise, you're probably have to stick with your iBook.
Regards.

  • Why won't files open in Camera Raw from Bridge?

    I am trying to open files in Camera raw from Bridge but get the following message.
    "Bridge's parent application is not active."
    Both Bridge and CS5 are open and I have opened camera raw previously.
    Any suggestions.
    Cheers

    Ah this is just because I haven't fully updated my bridge yet, but the solution still works fine

    The video shows replacing a current DLL file with one from last year - the key issue being that the files found in the Bridge and Photoshop folders are DIFFERENT. Why would this be?  I checked a PS CS5.1 installation myself and the files are already the same. Is there an illegitimate copy of Photoshop being used or something, causing these files to differ? -Noel

  • Why won't files open or save in email

    I have been trying to open some important files that were emailed and they won't open.  I am getting the blue and white pop up asking if I want to open or save and it won't let me do either.  It did this the other day and somehow I finally got it open after shutting down the computer.  Tried that this time and it won't work.  Tried uninstalling and reinstalling adobe.  It did not work.  There is also an online website I use to complete and upload PDF file documents and it won't work either.  What has happened?  How do I fix?

  • Why won't files open in the space that the application is assigned to?

    I have applications assigned to specific spaces, however, if I am in space 2 and I click to open an Adobe Illustrator (assiged to space 3) file, spaces will send me to space 3 but the file window will open in space 2 (where I was). I have to use F8 to view the spaces and drag it over to the assigend sapce. If i try to work on it in spaces 2 (where it opened) my pallets are blank. Any ideas?

    Why won't Adobe open a Pdf? Why do I pay for a service that will not open a pdf?

    Maybe you could supply us with more details about what exactly you are doing, how you are doing and what you are using to do it.
    The reason I say this is because you are in the forum for Adobe Reader which is a FREE application and not a service.

  • Why won't mail open when click on icon?

    why won't my mail open when I click on icon but other users can open theirs?

    Howdy lpedvm23,
    If Safari is not opening any window when you click the icon, I would use these troubleshooting steps from the following article:
    If Safari can’t open a window - Safari Help
    If you can’t open Safari or a new Safari window, try these suggestions.
    Use the latest version of Safari and OS X. To check for a Safari update, choose Apple menu > App Store, then click Updates. For more information, see Keep your Mac up to date.
    Check your startup disk using Disk Utility.
    If the other suggestions don’t help, try reinstalling OS X.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Why won't iMac open the cd it just created?

    My intel iMac (07 build) won't play/ open the cd I just burned on it. !
    Older cds I created DO open, just fine.  Why won't this new one open? It is a cd-r.
    Does this mean that the burn did not happen? I have burned a cd-r, cd rw, and dvd - none of them will open.
    iI need to send a cd of my artwork to a gallery to be juried. If I can't open the cd on my iMac, will the galley be able to open it?   In other words - did I burn a cd and my iMac is just acting up?  Or did I NOT burn a cd, and my iMac is acting up?
    The message I get when I try to open the new cd is...." there is a problem. The Media is not supported" 
    and the iDVD icon shows up on the desktop.
    This is day two of my trying to figure this problem out  - can anyone help me?
    Thanks,
    artdough

    Use a drive cleaner to clean your superdrive.  See if that works.  If it does, use it every 3 months or so if you do a lot of burning. 

  • Why won't msword open on my macpro says it is not supported and the operating system is OS x

    Why won't MS word open on my MacPro.  Operating system is OS X (OS 10.6.8) and computer tells me the application is not supported?

    Are you sure you're running 10.6.8 and not Lion (10.7)? That sounds like what happens when you try to launch a Motorola (G4/G5) app on an Intel system running Lion since they removed the emulation layer.

  • Why won't mail open pps in keynote '09??

    Since I installed SL can anyone tell me why, whenever I open a powerpoint presentation in mail instead of opening keynote '09 it opens keynote test drive in version '08 (although I have already purchased '08 and '09 ) and have have both installed on my system. I don't understand why it won't use '09 to open pps docs. If anyone knows of a solution or workaround I would be most grateful.

    Thanks for that.
    I tried deleting the plist, then 'choosing to open with iwork '09 and change all but still it jumps back to the default '08.
    Is there any other way I can change the default to '09?

    You could try to reinstall using the full three step way (otherwise strange things may linger):
    Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

  • Why won't Thunderbird open after Mac reboot?

    Using Thunderbird on Macbook Pro for a couple of years, no problem. Recently moved house; same router and ISP but been getting invalid certificate messages on high-security sites ("Your connection is not private"). Changed two certificates to "always trust" and rebooted. Now Thunderbird won't respond, even after 2nd reboot as mentioned in another question - I've done my homework ;-)
    thanks in advance for your help!

    I mentioned the high security sites simply in terms of the general context of my problem. Thunderbird still won't open and I would very much appreciate someone's experience to understand why and what I need to do to get it to start again. All my emails are filed in Thunderbird and if it won't open, I can't work. Thanks for your help.

  • Why won't InDesign open its own .indd file on iMac?

    I have InDesign CS5.5 on an iMac OS 10.7.5 - I created an .indd file about a month ago on this machine, using this version of InDesign.  This machine is not networked, the file has no links in it, no images and is only 1.3MB in size. 
    InDesign won't open the file and this is the message I get when I try to open it:
    "Cannot open the file "odes_PRINT.indd".  Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, o the file may be open in another application."
    No other programs were open,the file was not open in another application and presumably, InDesign ought to support its own file format and not require special plugins to do so. No one but me has been in that file.
    I've tried restarting the program and the machine, deleting and replacing preferences and renaming the file.  It seems like this happened to me once before a few years ago with an earlier version and I believe I had to scrap that indd file.  I could rebuild this file as it's just all text, not that big and I have the text in a plain text file BUT I want to know why this happens and what to do about it. I make large files for clients, this is a small client file that I can easily rebuild but some I can't and can't afford to have this happen again.
    I've been googling this problem all evening and I'm out of ideas - anyone else got any?

    Try my script in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/934429 -- it will tell you if it's an InDesign file or not.
    If it tells you it is, the file must be internally damaged beyond repair. (And then you've lost it. Yes, it happens.)
    If it tells you it is not, then ... well, then it is not a native InDesign file. At that point you need to retrace your steps: what did you do when you thought you were "saving" it? (As it is, in fact, impossible to use "save" in InDesign and not save 'as' an InDesign file.) What other file type could you have used? Do you ever manually or automatically rename files?
    Needless to say, if it is no longer an InDesign file (never mind what the file extension says), then you cannot open it in InDesign anyway. But if you know what type of file it is, you can open it with the appropriate software (e.g. a JPEG viewer or an RTF reader) and see what's in it.
