  "Adobe Acrobat Reader DC cannot open 'amy application' because it's a non supported file type or because the file is damaged."

  I received this message during indexing on my computer.  I could not get the message, so I

  uninstalled Adobe.

  After you have uninstalled Abobe, I was able to get all my jobs and applications (with the exception of adobe files).

  Then I tried to re - install Adobe, but who has turned to a complicated procedure.

  There are so many choices, and there are a number of downloadable updates. What was I guess what to do?   But I have chosen one of the Adobes and tried to install it.

  After that I don't know what happened.  All my desktop icons are now Adobe icons in place.   that is The Firefox icon is now replaced by an icon of Adobe.  It is the same for several other desktop program icons. (QuickTime, chrome, Internet Explorer, etc.)

  When I try to open the program by clicking on it, I get the above message.

  I went to the site of help from Adobe and read a complex string of instructions, including

  words like '% pdf', "DWROD" and, for me, other nonsensical words and phrases.

  Needless to say that the instructions were no help.

  I said all that to say this.  I want that my computer back.  What should I do to do?

  Sincerely,

  Ralph Thompson

  Any ideas what is wrong?

• my windows media cannot read a file because it does not support the code, with which it has been compressed. What program is best to open it

  the file is BHS1_Dwayne.rpc
  I'm confused why I can't open it. Is there a way I can change the file type or use a general program

  Hello

  You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:

  (a) the file type is supported by the drive, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.

  (b) the file might have been encoded with a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.

  Windows media player will play only files, if it supports this type of file.

  Please see the article which gives you information on the types of media files that supports Windows Media Player: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316992

  If the files are not supported by Windows media player, then you will need to use a few players from third party that supports this file format.

  WARNING OF THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE

  Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

• 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.

• 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?
