    Power PC applications are not supported in Lion (10.7) and later. Find alternatives that use modern-day coding (that would be Inter or Universal applications), or maybe create a partition for an older version of OS X (you would need to own a copy of the older OS you choose; Snow Leopard (10.6) would probably be a good choice).

    You need to upgrade that software or go back to Mac OS X 10.6.8.

    If you have a Time Machine backup or bootable clone of 10.6.8, restore it onto a blank partition. If not, you'll need to reinstall everything.

    No, that is not the case. Macs as well as OS X are simply moving on to modern day standards. The developers of the apps/plugins you use have chosen not to. Contact them and tell them to update their apps so they use 21st-century code (that would be, again, an Intel or Universal application).

    Actually many people here just use Carbon Copy Cloner for backup that are bootable and  due to the nature of the change in Lion/ML it is best to not upgrade in place over, instead keep  your 10.6.8 as it was and do a clean install on anotehr (new) drive.

     

    10.6.8 can be used in a VM for some apps

     

    having dual  boot SL and ML/Lion is a piece of cake.

     

    Carbon Copy Cloner should be part of any backup strategy, and  means never having to reinstall the OS or anything  else (may want to "freeze" an initial install.

     

    And clone your system before you even apply any OS changes, incl say the next ML 10.8.x update.

    no one is forcing you to use lion and you can keep it and snow leopard and dual boot. before lion was out it was known that Rosetta would be absent.

    just like dropping 68k cide base in favor of powerpc (PPC) before.

    SL works on every Mac Pro

    Yes, because an emulator called Rosetta can be loaded with Mac OS X when you install 10.6

    Your frustration with the loss of Rosetta is understandable. Here is a recent post I assembled for a similar problem as yours:

    Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta.  Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.

     

    However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion).  While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.

     

    Workarounds:

     

    1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;

     

    2.  If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PowerPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;

     

    3.  Upgrade your software to Intel compatible versions if they are available, or find alternative software that will open your data files, modify them and save them;

     

    4.  Install Snow Leopard Server (with Rosetta) into Parallels or VMWare Fusion.  Apple is now selling Snow Leopard Server for only $19.99 + sales tax & shipping; call 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753).  This solution will give you concurrent use of your PowerPC applications and access to Lion or Mt. Lion.

     

    As it may be possible you are not in the USA, I am getting reports that Snow Leopard Server is not available for sale directly from the Apple Store outside the USA.  I do not know about the UK. 

     

    So then you would either need an intermediary to purchase Snow Leopard Server for you in the USA and ship it to you, or, another suggestion is:

     

    The installation of Snow Leopard (client) into Parallels.

     

    Snow Leopard client installation instructions still available here:
