How do I play Sims 3 on my Macbook Pro?

I just bought The Sims 3 today for my Macbook Pro, and I can't seem to play it on my computer. I put the disc in, and the little booklet says:
"To install on a Macintosh: 1. Insert the game disc into your DVD-ROM drive. A DVD icon representing the game disc appears on your desktop. Double-click the icon to open the game's launcher."
Problem is, this "dvd icon" never shows up on the screen when the disc is in..

Nevermind, I figured it out. lol

How do i play Sims 2 on a macbook pro?

I've brought Sims 2 which is a MAC game, but when I tried to install it on my macbook, it said the application PowerPC was no longer supported. So, I want to know if there was a way to run the game? e.g. external hard-drive? or by going through windows? Would a mac game work through windows?
If anyone has had this problem and found a solution, i'd be very grateful if they could let me know. Thank you.

PowerPC applications are not supported with OS X Lion 10.7. Only OS X 10.6 or prior. That means you can not play that game on your mac.

How can I install Sims 2 on my Macbook Pro?

I can't figure out how to install Sims 2 on my Macbook Pro.. Anyone know how?

That game is over seven years old. It can't run on any mac in OS X that has 10.7 or later installed. Are you trying to install in OS X or in a Windows partition? Also, what happens when it tries to install? If it mentions something about "PPC", it can't run in OS X. 10.7 or later.

Quicktime comes pre-installed on all Macs. Quicktime 10 should be on your Dock and the original application inside your Application folder. Quicktime 7 is inside your Utility folder. VLC is the application that you need to download.

How can I play xbox games on my macbook pro??

I travel a lot and I cannot take my xbox with me everywhere I go. I have a macbook pro and want to be able to play xbox games on my mac. Is there anyway I can do this? Safely?

The XBox uses three PowerPC processors that run very very hot and need constant power and Mac's use Intel processors that run very cool in comparison.
It would take a complete rewrite of the entire games code to make it work on a Mac.
So in short, it can't be done. Sorry.
But I'll clue you 2 free 3D games you can run on your MacBook Pro
Cube 2 Suaerbraten and Nexiuz Classic. That should help get you by.

Ask Microsoft, there is a Mac OS X version and if it's not compatible with your machine or processor you can install Windows into Apple's BootCamp.
Far as gameplay, I have no idea.

How can i install windows games in my macbook pro

I m a game lover but since i've macbook pro,i haven't played any game on my macbook...so guys please tell me how can i install windows games to my macbook pro.

As eww said, that computer isn't specifically made for gaming. To get advanced graphics in a game, your computer needs what is called a "discrete" graphics processor, or GPU. This means a seperate chip that processes graphics. In Apple laptops, these are only found in the 15" and 17" MacBook Pro. It is not common to find these in laptops in general that are not expensive and high-end. What you have in yours is an "on-board" or "integrated" GPU. This means that graphics processing is done by a small portion of your main processor (the Intel i5 board). This takes away a portion of primary prossessing and dedicates it to graphics. This works perfectly find in most scenarios, but video rendering, gaming, and 3-D graphics tend to suffer. Most high-end, modern games require discrete GPUs to run at full quality these days.
As far as running Windows 7 and Mac OS both, yes you absolutely can. If you install Windows 7 via Bootcamp (this would require you to have a Windows 7 CD), when you turn on your computer it will default to opening up in Mac OS. But if you hold down the Option key (bottom of the keyboard next to the Command button) while the computer is booting up, it will ask you if you want to open Windows or Mac OS.

How to convert VCR Tape to DVD on MACbook Pro?

Any insight into how to convert VCR tapes to DVD on Macbook Pro would be much appreciated!

The first question is: how to get video into your Mac?
My answer is: use a DV camcorder as a translator. Most Canons and Sonys do this. Here are some general steps:
1. connect the video and audio outputs of your VCR to the input jacks of the camcorder. (If the video is on an S-video jack instead of the conventional yellow phono jack, it will be a little bit better quality.)
2. Using your camcorder's menu, set it to "AV IN->DV OUT". This will vary according to the model of your DVCAM. One hint: all camcorders have a 3-position camera/off/play(vcr) switch. In this application, most of them use the PLAY position.
3. Connect the DV out of the camcorder to a firewire port on the Mac. This requires the cable that comes with the camera...it's a mini-firewire on one end, and a regular firewire 400 on the other. (If your Mac has only a FW 800 jack, you may need another adapter.)
4. Turn on the DVCAM. Usually, iMovie will automatically open and be ready to record...if not, start it.
5. Hit PLAY on the VHS machine. You should see the video in the iMovie window. When you see what you want to save, press iMovie's button to start recording. You're free to edit the movie in any way you want.
When you have enough for a DVD, save it and use iDVD to burn a disc.
Alternatively, if you want to save a step, you can skip the iMovie step and just open up iDVD and select the feature...I forget the exact name...but it's like "Quick Movie" that will just save it as one stream.
