Maybe we need more details here.
But note: Power PC applications are not supported in the latest OS (Lion, 10.7) - they will not run. In Lion they have No Entry icons on them.
Are you saying that when you bring your old applications (photoshop, etc.) to your new computer they get the no entry sign? If so, you will need to update your software to be compatible with Lion.

Are these icons in the dock with the no entry sign over them? If so that means the icon remains but the application it points to have been removed. You will need to re-install them. Dock icons are not the applications themselves, but just pointers or aliases to the application which is stored in the Applications folder.
Thanks Charlie,
I have installed these programs in my previous mac computer so does this mean i have to buy a new scanner and adobe creative suite?
thanks Zyriab
no they are not in the dock, just trying to install the programs
Need more information on the version of Photoshop/CS and your scanner.
Well, I don't think you have to buy a new scanner. But it appears you have to update the scanner and Adobe software to later versions.

I went to the adobe site to update and couldn't find the download, thanks for you're time in helping with this problem. you have good info
i have an epson scanner and Creative suite premium all of which i have installed on my G5 so i guess it will require updates
I have a couple of Epson Scanners and they work fine on Lion. I did have to apply some updates to CS5 to get it to work. They were easy to find on the Adobe site.
I haven't seen that charlie I'm going to look read it now, thanks it looks promising
Okay for sure it appears my answer is in the adobe site thanks Charmar
