How To Check For Software Incompatible With Lion

by Sufian on January 22, 2012 · 0 comments

I just upgraded my MacPro to Lion last night and got the customary “you have incompatible software” notice, but it does not tell what software is affected.  Here’s a quick way to find out:

  1. Click on the Apple Symbol in the menubar.
  2. Select About This Mac.
  3. Click on More Info…
  4. Click on System Report.
  5. Expand the Software section of the tree hierarchy on the left and click on Applications.
  6. Sort by Kind and look for PowerPC.

All PowerPC applications are incompatible as Rosetta is no longer available.  Applications that are listed as Universal or Intel will be functional.
