AC10 error loading with MAC

[Anonymous]

I loaded AC10 with my PC and loaded smooth as silk.
When I tried to load AC 10 in my mac (1. it gives me a error message
"the application cannot be launch because this system is incompatible"
I tried unloading and reloading but same thing. Any advice?

as matthew said, you will need to say more about the mac you're using. with the whole mac powerPC to intel transition, there are certain limitations that you should be aware of . . .

the good news...
• AC9 runs natively on a PPC mac
• AC9 installs and runs under rosetta emulation on an intel mac

the bad news...
• AC9 hot-fix patches do not install on an intel mac
• AC10 will not install directly on an intel mac

the workarounds...
since the AC9/AC10 intel mac issues seem only to related to the installers, they can be installed on an older PPC mac and simply dragged across a network to the intel mac - this requires you having an older mac kicking around.

the future...
graphisoft are working on an intel native version of AC10. with a little luck and a tailing wind it should be released very shortly. (i have it installed for testing at the moment . . .)

Overlooked the required operating system (10.3 )and I'm outdated 10.2.8. Time to upgrade. Thanks for the reply.

Just drag the ArchiCAD folder to the Graphisoft folder in your Applications folder. This is one of the good things about Macs, this procedure is not recommended on Windows (it probably doesn't work at all, I have never tried it).
