• Cannot open the catalog

  I am unable to use Organizer in elements or Prime Minister. An error in says: "cannot open the catalog. An internal program error has occurred. »

  I tried to reinstall and update but the problem persists. I use the Version 12 on Windows 8.1.

  I found similar issues in the community, but they all seem to be unanswered. Help to solve this problem would be highly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Colin

  Hello again

  By trail and error, I found a solution to 99%.

  Right-click on the desktop, the icon of elements.

  Select Troubleshoot Compatibility.

  Select troubleshoot program

  Select a problem (I used the other)

  Select the Version of Windows (Windows 8 for me)

  Select the Test program

  If it works, which he did in my case, save the settings.

  This seems to have solved my problem, except that I now get an extra screen at the opening of the elements to allow the program to make changes to my computer. I can live with that.

  When I get time I will check if there is any Adobe or updates to Windows that will make this unnecessary step.

  I hope this helps other people with the same problem.

  Thanks for responding and making suggestions.

• Cannot open the application "Mail" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported

  I work on a MacBook Pro mid 2012

  Intel Core i5 2.5 GHz

  OS X El Capitan 10.11.6

  The Mail app suddenly quit and when I tried to resume, I got this message

  "Cannot open the application"Mail"because the PowerPC applications are no longer supported."

  This also happens with the "Maps" app

  All Mac software are up to date, but "Mail" has been working fine since my last update that was awhile ago.

  I am confused to say the least. Suggestions? Thank you!

  If you do a Get Info (command - I) on Mail and Maps applications, what version numbers do you see?

  Try a reboot.

  Make a backup using Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure that data files can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.

  Try to set up another admin user account to see if the same problem persists. If back to my Mac is enabled in system preferences, the guest account will not work. The intention is to see if it is specific to an account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

  Isolate a problem by using a different user account

  If the problem is still there, try to start safe mode using your usual account.  Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.

  Safe mode - on El Capitan

  Start Mode without failure-El Capitan.

• Cannot open the application "Adobe Installer" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.

  I'm trying to install Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium on my MacBook Pro (OS X El Capitan).  When I click on the install icon, I get the following message: cannot open the application "Adobe Installer" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.  Can I do to solve this problem?

  Try to install mode without failure. Hold the SHIFT key while rebooting.

• El Capitan: Cannot open the application "app name" because it may be damaged or incomplete

  Came across this several times. After you initially upgrade to El Capitan 10.11.2, after logging into my main account (admin), I was not able to open applications and received the following error:

  "Cannot open the application name"app"because it may be damaged or incomplete."

  I couldn't open "Activity Monitor", "System Preferences", "Finder" or anything (provided, App Store or other system). The icons will revert to the default application icon. Other users have no problem with the same apps.

  After the panic, I found a solution: go to another admin account, delete the old user account, and then add it again. This version corrects the problem of this user; It apparently rebuilt the user for that user identity information, while leaving their home folder (and preferences, documents, key rings, etc.) only. iCloud information must be re-entered, but it is trivial. Once the user delete and add, I was able to run these applications.

  When I upgraded to 10.11.3, it is the same thing, but to 3 accounts. I managed to solve this problem through the guest account - that is, I was still able to authenticate as an administrator, but I could not open a session and run anything.

  El Capitan removed permissions repair; I think it can be done in the recovery console, but I shouldn't do that.

  No idea why this continues to be?

  Generally to searching for the above error message is specific to applications from the App Store or other, not about things like "Activity Monitor" and "System Preferences."

  You now have this problem?

• Cannot open the pdf attachment in Yahoo Mail. Worked in 25.0 not 25.0.1. Still works with IE.

  Clicking on a pdf attachment in AT & T/Yahoo Mail translates "a file has been downloaded. Used to open the file in Firefox 25.0 and earlier versions. Go to IE I can click on the attachment and it opens. Seems like it might be something in 25.0.1. I cleared my history (cache, cookies), but this has not fixed the problem. I disabled the read pdf and that did not help either.

  Update

  (Comment added  by a moderator ~ J99 )
  

  Some problems seem to be solved using DO NOT for old favorites.
  Use rather this link mail.yahoo.com as suggested by philipp's post under /questions/978924 #answer - 510272

  Hello
  Can you please confirm if this similar to other users who have reported issues downloading attachments in Yahoo mail. Can you please try this with Firefox in safe mode to see if that helps.

  1. Firefox has stopped downloading of attachments - 971042 #.
  2. Firefox won't download files - 978766 #.

  Based on your confirmation, we will check that and raise a Firefox bug if necessary.

  Thank you for your help

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

  (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

  • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
  • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
  • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

  

  Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

  

  If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  Thank you
