EA Game (Harry Potter Deluxe Edition) will not play on iMac Intel Core Duo

I have repeatedly tried opening the EA/Aspyr Harry Potter games (Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets) on my iMac intel core duo. It fails to open, with all attempts ending in a window that tells me it has failed and offering the option to cancel, retry, or report problem to Apple. This occurs with both discs/games. Is the software simply not advanced enough for the new iMac? Has anyone opened this at all?
PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

They are both Aspyr ports of EA games. I've run both on my G4 Macs in the past but can't comment on their compatibility with the Intel processor.

  • CDs will not play in iMac

    My iMac will not play CDs. (They are ejected.)
    -It does play DVDs.
    -I have reloaded OS X.
    Suggestions?

    Hi john_,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iMac is reading DVDs but not CDs, and you've already reinstalled OS X, try these steps next:
    Check the disc's surface for scratches and dirt, since these things can prevent the disc from appearing on the desktop.
    Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).

  • DVD will not play on iMac in Bootcamp using Windows 8

    I am trying to play a DVD in Windows 8 being run with Bootcamp on my iMac (OSX 10.9). The DVD will not autoplay in Windows. You can see the DVD in the folder view, but can only access the Video_TS and Audio_TS files, not the actual playable DVD. Have tried playing it through the folder view as well as Windows Media also to no avail. Booted down Windows and into Mac OS, and the DVD autoplays just fine. How can I get it to play in Windows mode, as the software we are running for a certain program needs to be accessed constantly before and after the DVD needs to play?

    tried the vlc player it's free to download and works better then other players really

  • I have a imac intel core duo 2.0 ghz, 20" That will not start up...HELP

    My iMac will not startup, I have tried everything, reset PRAM, attempt to boot into SAFE mode, I am unable to do so. I am currently booted up hard drive to mount.

    Im having same problem and I have exhausted my knowledge of how to fix.
    I can see the device is system profiler. Nothing comes up in Audio/Midi Set up though.
    Garageband doesnt detect anything until I activate a network session then garageband says there is a midi input but I still get no sound whatsoever.

  • Whenever I try to play a game on my iPad  it will not play the sound. But when I play music it works.why?

    so basicall whenever I play a game the sound won't work but if I play a song or go on to youtube it works

    Could you have muted the sounds? Some games have separate sound controls.

  • Video will not play on iMac

    I posted this on the iMac forum and it was suggested that I re-post it here. The situation is this: I recorded a short video on my Panasonic point and shoot and imported it to Aperture where it plays just fine. I tried to export it to my desktop iMac from the MacBook Pro where it now resides and it cannot read the file. I tried to send it via AirDrop and then via a flash drive but the result is still the same. The two machines are configured identically, with the up to date versions of QuickTime and Aperture. It seems to me that if both machines are configured identically and the movie (.mov file) plays on one it should play on the other. I went to a One to One session this morning and the trainer did not know the answer either. Anyone have any ideas?

    I would record a short video and then import directly into each system. This will help narrow down the problem. If the new video plays in the iMac when directly imported but now when exported from and copied over from the MBP you'll know the problem is in the export/copy.
    If the new video won;t even play on the iMac when imported directly then that  will indicate a problem with the iMac.
    Post the results of the test.
    regards

  • DVD  +RW (not finalized) will not play on an Intel iMac

    Stand alone DVD recorder burnt a +RW disc. This machine never finalizes rewritable discs, yet the DVD can be played on all players I can get my hands on. Only the Intel iMac refuses to play it back because it identifies an empty disc.
    Any idea why?

    The only other thing I can think of, is have you made sure there are no Firmware Updates from either Apple or Matshita for your Optical Drive.
    Some of Apples Optical Drives were not a problem reading and writing different Formats of DVD, but in some of the Newer Optical Drives they were limited as to ther eability because of Firmware restrictions on some of the Newer Optical Drives. It seams to me that these were done because of copyrite laws and Apple not wanting to get involved in this and thus placed restrictions on the Drives ability.
    But that shouldn't affect your particular problem, My guess is the copys you are making. Different Software on different machines have several choices that can limit your ability to play them because of settings. Some have settings that make copies that are PC only, Mac only or PC and Mac Compatible.

    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)

  • Quicktime content will not play in Internet Explorer 8 or Chrome

    Hi,
    So I go to the apple website to watch some ads, the iMac videos and movie trailers.
    I have quicktime 7.6.4 installed and working.
    I have Tunes 9.0.2 installed and working.
    I have Vista 64 bit home premium installed.
    Internet Explorer 8. Quicktime content will not play. Neither the Mac ads, or the iMac videos or the movie trailers. I get the message "Quicktime required. Free download".
    Google Chrome. Quicktime content will play the Mac ads and the movie trailers but will not play the iMac videos although it does try to load the video but fails to play it.
    Firefox 3.5.5. Quicktime content will play the Mac ads and the iMac videos and the movie trailers.
    Help.
    Thanks

    Just ran into this same problem after updating Itunes and Quicktime.
    Got a Ipod Touch for Christmas, and downloaded latest version of Itunes and Quicktime and installed it without issue.
    Quicktime movies (Mov) play fine, and mp3's play via Itunes, but in IE8 all I get is "QuickTime required. Free download" when I try to play movies on-line, such as trailers from the Apple Movie site.
    Checked the plug-in folder for IE and all the QT files seem to be there.
    I have uninstalled Itunes and Quicktime, restarted and re-installed but I get the same result.
    Anyone got any clues ?

  • PhotoShop Elements 9 Edit will not open.

    After opening 2 or 3 images in Elements 9 edit a dialog box will come up and say "Elements is already running but is not responding close the Elements process or restart your system". I do not see where I can close the running Elements process. I have used Elements 9 for several months and have never run into this problem. Can anyone suggest a solution to my problem?

    Thank you for the response. My Elements 9 Editor problem seemed to fix  its
    self. After restarting the computer the Editor would open for 2 or 3 images
    then refuse to open again. After the fifth restarting of the computer the
    Editor  has continued to work and now seems fine. Not sure what caused the
    problem  in the first place. I will use the advise given below if the problem
    starts  again.

  • Edits will not be saved. Any Edits made to the enterprise global template items are only available during this session.

    Hi,
    I am getting a pop-up message(Edits will not be saved. Any Edits made to the enterprise global template items are only available during this session.Make edits in checked-out enterprise global template to make them
    available for all users of this project server) when trying to insert a new column in the Gannt Chart View.
    Due to this what all are the columns that inserted in the project plan, will be lost when open the project in the next time.
    I have opened the Enterprise Global Template and cross checked for Gaant Chart view it is showing the table as "Entry" only.
    The requirement is what all columns are required for the project plan, manager will insert in the project first time. Next time on-wards it needs to be display the columns when opened the project from server by default.
    We are unable to reproduce this issue in our Dev Envt.
    Could anyone of you please help me.
    Thanks in Advance!
    Regards,
    Venkat

    Hi Venkat,
    I suggest to remove Gantt Chart view and Entry table from Eglobal. These are default views from client and it is highly recommended to not use them in Enterprise Global.
    Whatever a user ist doing on a view or table which is included in Enterprise Global will be reset on next open - therefore you receive this message.
    If you need some server wide defined views and tables, create them. But remove Gantt Chart and Entry.
    Does that help?
    Regards
    Barbara

    Bypass the Unwelcome Screen by creating Desktop shortcuts for the Organizer and the Editor. The Editor's executable is:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe" The Organizer's executable is:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe" The Unwelcome Screen leaves a zombie process running which prevents the actual program from launching again.
