You can't open the application because PowerPC applications are no longer supported?
What does this mean? I just bought a digital game from the Blizzard company the makers of Warcraft and Starcraft but I cant install the game. Its says that "PowerPC applications are no longer supported". Another route I tried as I was just messing around trying to figure it out then it said "cant run in "DOS mode"
Welcome Moraco !
Warcraft 3 works great on my macbook (10.8.3)
The installation was made on 10.5
I use this game on 10.5, 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8
May be you don't have the universal binary patch installed.
Try to download the dmg on Battle.net web site after registration.
Then try to install the game and tell us.

You can't open the applicationNovamediaDiskSupressor because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
I'm new to this, so forgive my ignorance, but when I tried to go to "Applications" to repost, the only options I saw were iChat, AppleWorks, and something else; I did not see "Utilities" > "Console".
However, I did try what Linc posted and it seems to be working so far. I think when I was in Malaysia and used a local aircard, it installed some Vodaphone PPC software onto Snow Leapord, which once I updated to Lion, no longer agreed. -
When trying to setup my external hard drive, I get this box that pops up and says this:
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.

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 newest version of all of my Power PC apps?
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 -
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!!! -
Please help with the message I am receving on startup ""You can't open the application NovamediaDiskSupressor because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
I have read some of the replies in the Apple Support Communities, but as I am no techie, I would have no idea how I would implement that solution.
Please help with what I need to type, how, where, etc.
Many thanks
AppleSueIn HunterCreekI am afraid there is no solution.
PowerPC refers to the processing chip used by Apple before they transferred to Intel chips. They are very different, and applications written only for PPC Macs cannot work on a Mac running Lion.
You could contact the developers to see if they have an updated version in the pipeline. -

I'm trying to install CS2 on a mac OS X version 10.9.4. When I try to open the installer file I get a message "You can't open the application Adobe Installer because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. Does anyone know what I should do?
It means what it says - it's not compatible with modern Macs. You need to buy a current version.

I am trying to install print controller and printer -but get this error message when trying to use the installer:
You can’t open the application “OSX installer” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
I also have a macbook pro running the same version OS and it installed fine there - I can't find the difference; but, NEED to print from my IMac.
Any help and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I am running Lion (OS X 10.7.4) and trying to reinstall iLife06, a .mpkg file, using Installer.app. I get a message "You can't open the application iLife06.mpkg because PowerPC apps are no longer supported." Is there a work around?? Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.
The only workaround would be to purchase the current version of iLife apps from the App Store.
Lion doesn't support the old PowerPC architecture anymore, which is what iLife '06 was written for.
If the internal apps are universal, right-click on the mpkg and choose Show Contents. Then, dig through and run the specific installer package for each application. -
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. -
Im getting a constant error message: "you can't open the application PACE because PowerPC applications are no longer supported". I cant find PACE to delete it?
PACE is a rather crappy copy protection software used by the following;
Antares
Melodyne
Cycling 74 Max/MSP/Jitter
iZotope oZone
Line6 POD Farm
McDSP plug-ins (some software purchases include a green iLok key)
MOTU
Overloud
Pro Tools
Serato
Virtually all Digidesign (RTAS and TDM) plug-ins
Virtually all Waves Products
So if you have any of there, they might be the cause of your problems.

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. -
