You can't open the application "Game center" because it is not supported on this type of Mac.

Yesterday when I opened the Chess on my macbook pro, It kept popping up the alert"You can‘t open the applicaion"Game center" because it is not supported on this type of mac." Then I tried to open my game center on my mac, it can be opened but it blocked when I logged in . After I entered my user name and password it direct me to an blank page and then redirected back to the login page again.
I want to know how can I dismiss the alter and make the Game center work. Thanks.

Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.gamecenter.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

  • You can't open the application iPhoto.app because it is not supported on this type of Mac.

    I just used migration assistant to bring all my data over from my old Macbook to my new iMac.  Then I deleted the admin user which was created automatically when I first booted up the iMac.  All worked well, except for iPhoto which niow gives me this message.  Annoying because I upgraded to the iMac for the big screen to work with my photos.
    Any ideas folks?
    TIA

  • I run System 10.5.8 on a Mac and receive the reply "You can't open the application 'Firefox.app' because it is not supported on this architecture."

    I always update to your newest Firefox configuration and did so when I was asked to upgrade to "Firefox 4" for the Mac. When I tried to access my account I receive the above message. I dumped the upgrade which wiped my Mac clean of all my bookmarks and again downloaded Firefox 4 but with the same result. Tried to switch to Safari but this too was unsatisfactory. I'm guessing I need to return to a previous Firefox upgrade and never again try and upgrade. How do I do this?

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • Can't open the application "Firefox.app" because it is not supported by this architecture. I'm using mac os 10.5.8

    Been using Firefox (many years) version 3.16.. Received invitation to download Firefox version 4 for Mac this morning and did so (regretably losing 3.16 version) because now the new version 4 won't open. I just keep getting the error message "You can't open the application "Firefox.app" because it is not supported by this architecture." I'm using the latest Mac OS 10.5.8. The processor is 1.8 GHz Power PC G5.
    I trashed the first download and downloaded a 2nd Firefox version 4 and had the same results.

  • You can't open the application "AcroExt.app" because it is not responding.

    I'm getting this error message every time I try to open a PDF from Finder:
    You can’t open the application “AcroExt.app” because it is not responding.
    I'm running Yosemite 10.10.2 and Acrobat Pro 11.0.10. In fact, it seems like it started right after I installed the 10.10.2 update.
    If I open Acrobat and then open the PDF file from the File > Open menu within Acrobat the PDF will open, but if I try opening it from Finder I get the above error. 
    Any ideas how I can fix this?
    Thanks for whatever tips you can provide.

    Hi,
    I have been experiencing the same issur.
    This is not a fix, but rather a workaround.  Keep the Adobe Acrobat application open all the time.  You should be able to double-click the pdf document from the finder and open it.

  • You cannot open the application app store because it is not supported on this architecture

    My Apple store app will not open, and it gives me this error. What can I do?
    "you cannot open the application app store because it is not supported on this architecture"

    The Mac App Store application is damaged. Open  > About this Mac, and check which Mac OS X version you have.
    If you have got 10.7 or newer, hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting and reinstall OS X. Another option is to download the OS X installer from the Mac App Store and use Pacifist to install Mac App Store.
    If you have got 10.6, first try reinstalling OS X 10.6.8 > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US If it doesn't work, insert the Snow Leopard DVD, hold the C key while your Mac is starting up and reinstall Mac OS X. Then, use the link above to download Mac OS X 10.6.8 from the Apple site

  • Tried to install a new game but got error message "You can't open the application "XIII Install" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."  I have since read that Yosemite doesn't have the program. What can I do?

    Tried to install a new game that I bought (Xiii) for my MBP. All system req have been met and exceeded, however when trying to install it I get an error message saying "You can’t open the application “XIII Install” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
    I have since read online that the operating software Yosemite has got rid of PowerPC applications, meaning I can't install my new game. 
    Is there anything simple that I can do to get this game to work. I'll be gutted if not as I have opened the game therefore the shop will not give a full refund, I'm sure .
    Regards
    Simon

    A lot longer ago than that. PowerPC apps haven't been supported since Lion, 10.7.x.
    You may have just purchased the game, but the developers obviously haven't kept up to date with the requirements for newer versions of the Mac OS.
    You have three options, depending on how old your Mac is.
    1) If it were ever able to boot directly to Snow Leopard, you could create a separate partition and install SL onto that partition. Make sure to turn on the option during the installation to install Rosetta. That is OS X's PPC emulator.
    2) If your Mac is too new to install Snow Leopard, then you can purchase and install Snow Leopard Server within a VM, such as Parallels, VirtualBox, or Vmware.
    3) Use a separate older Mac for running outdated software.
