I am trying to run a language program (to learn german) on my macbook 13" 2011. All my adobe programs work perfectly without quitting unexpectedly. This language software is for Mac and PC. and it quits unexpectedly right at the beginning. Also after trying many times at different times I got like 3 different messages. One said "Super talk Error Number 41: Never heard of that function". ?? I tried running the program on my old mac desktop Power PC G4 and works great! But I can't carry it with me! This old one has much less ram and a processor of 400 mhz. The macbook has 2.4 Ghz. It has different graphics card. The old one has APG GRAPHICS the macbook has Intel HD. But anyway I don't think that really matters. What could the problem be. I don't know if I am in the correct forum to ask. But since it is not a software problem, it has to do with my Macbook, bc I tried it in different computers, mac and pc and the programs works good on those computers.

PowerPC applications cannot run on anything later than Lion OS X.7.

Harry meant to say PowerPC applications can not run on anything later than Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

Contact the developer and ask if they have an updated version that works on Intel Macs. Otherwise, ask them for a refund and return the software since you can't use it, unless you want to keep it to run on your old G4.

It doesn't 'suck'. it is progress and the developer should state this on System preferences. Shoot them a stern complaint.
