Hello everyone,
I wanted to install a game on my macbook pro (Warcraft III if that matters). But when I tried to open the installer a pop-up came saying
"You can't open the application installer because PowerPc applications are no longer supportet."
Does someone know what that means?
Can I fix it?
Thank you
MacBook Pro with Retina display, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
PPC apps will not run under Lion. There is no fix. Depending on the OS your computer shipped with, you may be able to install SL on a separate partition & run your PPC apps under SL.
There is a fix, but it's expensive. Run Mac OS X Server in emulation.

There is a fix, and it's affordable.
Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) installed into Parallels 7 in Lion:

But can you do that with Retina?
Go to the Game maker's site and see if there in a patch or upgrade for Intel Macs. I have been able to play many PPC games on Intel Macs this way. Quake 4 and Doom 3 are two examples.

Yes, according to this Article (I do not yet have personal experience with a Retina display): http://www.parallels.com/news/id%2C31008
What does it mean "PowerPC applications no longer supported" ?
