Because you are running 10.6.8 and Google Chrome stopped supporting that OS X in December 2014. To use 10.6.8 with a modern, secure browser you will need a browser that supports 10.6.8. Last I checked Firefox still supports 10.6.8. Same is probably true for Adobe in that they are phasing out support for 10.6.8 though to be sure you will have to check the particular Adobe App or Suite (they make many).

What happens when you try to update them?

What Adobe product are you talking about?

Updates to Chrome platform support

Posted: Tuesday, November 10, 2015

Earlier this year, we announced that Google Chrome would continue support for Windows XP through the remainder of 2015. At that time, we strongly encouraged users on older, unsupported platforms such as Windows XP to update to a supported, secure operating system. Such older platforms are missing critical security updates and have a greater potential to be infected by viruses and malware.


Today, we’re announcing the end of Chrome’s support for Windows XP, as well as Windows Vista, and Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8, since these platforms are no longer actively supported by Microsoft and Apple. Starting April 2016, Chrome will continue to function on these platforms but will no longer receive updates and security fixes.


If you are still on one of these unsupported platforms, we encourage you to move to a newer operating system to ensure that you continue to receive the latest Chrome versions and features.
