Help: Cannot open any application "Safari" because PowerPC is not supported on the current computer

Hi all

Until I look crazy, my Mac Book Pro (end 2011) is still running. Today, I already had some running applications (Safari, Virtual Box, etc.). When I tried to open a new window, Safari said "no internet connection".  I shut Safari and attempted to restart.

"Failed to start Safari because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."

He then removed Safari from the dock.

Environment:

MacBook Pro (late 2011)

68 GB free on 700 GB HDD

El Captain (10.11.4)

I tried to open Contacts. Same error message.

To be clear: these are the built-in applications on the Mac.

While I download application files, I'm fairly warned about scams and not did something recently on the machine.

I hesitate to restart where it tells me that my entire machine is a Power PC application and is no longer supported.

Has anyone ever heard talk about something like that?

Thank you

Andrew (write in a VM on the Mac as the app still works)

FYI - I have Remote Desktop running and was able to connect to a machine on the Internet, however, I can not start any application, Console.

If the problem occurs in safe mode, and then reinstall through recovery.  Reinstall will not erase your data, it won't replace system files and included OS X applications.

    Hi all

    I have an important file corrupt and I tried every way I can think to open, but to no avail...

    When I open it with Quicktime, a ' 2048 unsupported format ' error, even if the other videos I made are very good.
    I can't open this video with software like VLC and friends (believe me, I tried LOADS of them)...

    After doing a LOT of research I understand that neither the part header and closing of the file is messed up.
    Is anyone able to teach me how to fix these pieces?
    I am really at my wits end and I am a beginner just to hex-editing @. @ better still, if you are able to take a look at this video for me...

    I'll be very happy if someone can help me on what I really want to get the video, it's for an important friend, thanks in advance!

    PS the video is about 120 MB

    I would START by checking if your IE8 has all its flaws. Any time we're not able to open links in emails, the Internet Explorer problem, the majority of the time.

    Start button > Default programs > Set Your Default programs > left side, select Internet Explorer...
    He said "this program has all its defaults"?
    If not, click on choose by default for this program > tick on each entry in the list > save

    See if that solves all the problems you have.

    P.S. Check with your shipper, see if your sender uses Microsoft Outlook. If so, ask your sender to go to the Format of the mail and select HTML.

  • I may have inadvertently downloaded Firefox 5 instead of 4 and cannot open the application because it is not supported. Can I still download Firefox 4, which I was planning to do?

    I tried to update to Firefox 3 Firefox 4. But, after completing the download and then tried to open the Firefox application, I got a message saying: "Cannot open the application"Firefox"because it is not supported on this architecture." Is it possible that I may have inadvertently downloaded Firefox 5? I do not think that my system support

  • Cannot open this application because it is not supported on this architecture CS5 on 10.5.8

    I just installed Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium on my Mac running OS X Version 10.5.8. Once the download is complete, I tried to access my apps to see all program names are grayed out. When I double click on it, I get the following message: "Cannot open this application because it is not supported on this architecture."

    My computer is quite recent and it runs on an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. Someone else has experienced this problem or maybe having patches? I'm on hold with Adobe Support, but the waiting time is 1 hour 30 minutes... never heard of that before, but I'll wait as long as it takes.

    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

    That error pop up if the application is not installed. Adobe is never known for very useful error messages.

  • Cannot open any office files or icons, the Panel even not. Help!

    Hello
    I really need help desperately. I can't open any office files or icons. I restored to the point the closest that I can, but no difference. Cannot open the Panel even from the Start button. My compuetr crashes every time I double-click or right-click on the icon 'My Computer' or 'My Documents '.
    My restore CD that was shipped with the Toshiba Satellite 1800 does not work either. Help, please! I'm really desperate!
    Jess

    What do you think average with "I tried with the restore CD but nothing '? Have you tried to completely format your HARD drive? I had a similar problem, but in my case it was because of the transplant of BONE... so I reinstalled the system from the beginning and it was ok.
    If you can not solve this problem with the cd supplied by the factory... I think it might be a hardware problem, probably due to the HARD drive. Your HARD drive makes strange noises, like "Click - Clack"?

    Good bye

  • "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 Adob

    "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,
