magicn00b Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 I have tried uTorrent in OS X Lion, but every time I open it, Lion says me "uTorrent can't be opened because PowerPC applications are no longer supported"...uTorrent isn't a PowerPC application but it is universal as I can read in mac system information, so why doesn't it start?The same thing doesn't happen with BitTorrent which starts without problems...Thanks =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaws Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 That's weird, it runs fine for me. When I first installed lion, before utorrent started up for the first time, a system notification popped up for installing java. I accepted the install and then utorrent started up with no problem for me. I Haven't a clue as to why it's saying that you're trying to run a powerpc app. What you can do to check what powerpc apps you have installed is open up system profiler, then click on the applications side bar under software. It will make a list off all the apps. Click to organize it by kind, then search for PowerPC under kind. All those that are listed as PowerPC no longer work and you might as well uninstall them.

magicn00b Posted July 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 I had already checked and uTorrent is a universal application, I don't understand why Lion identifies it as PowerPc...I have installed java for mac os x 10.7 but it still doesn't work...

kaws Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Try downloading cocktail. Then in cocktail under System/Databases you'll see a button labeled rebuild. To the right of "Rebuild Launch Services Database". Use that. I'm not sure if it will have any effect however. But you can try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
