I have a power mac G5 and want to play sims 3 on it.
I have a power mac G5 and want to play sims 3 on it. When I click on the disk from the desktop it says "you can not open the application the sims 3 installer, because its not supported on this architecture." How can I fix and or resolve this issue? Thanks in advance! Connor
Sorry, but The Sims 3 require an Intel CPU Mac running OS X Leopard 10.5.7 or greater.
Your G5 is IBM PowerPC Mac and therefore will not run on that hardware architecture.
No workarounds. You need a newer Intel Mac to play this version of The Sims.

I no longer have the iTunes that is synced to my iPhone and now I need to update my iPhone with iTunes. Is there a way I can do this without losing all my data? Can I access my iTunes that is on my stolen laptop, so that I don't lose my info and photos etc? Please help!
Hi Michela27,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you have content on your iPhone that isn't on your computer, the best thing is to use the advice in this article to transfer it to your new computer before setting up sync:

I HAVE A POWER MAC G5 AND IT WONT POWER UP.
I have a Power Mac G5 (late 2005). It will not power up.I Have already replaced the PRAM battery and tried hitting the SMU button. Nothing.
Pull the plug from the wall receptacle (the wall receptacle works, right?).
Press the power button (This is to drain builtup charge).
Replug the power cord to the wall receptacle.
Do you hear any clicks?
Press the power button. Still dead?
If you hear two clicks after reconnecting power, the PSU is likely dead.
Using a volt ohm meter (multimeter) you can test the PSU:

My brother and I have shared an account for five years, and now that I'm moving out, I want to create my own separate account but still want to be able to play the music I've purchased over five years.
In order to continue to play and sync the music you purchased with your old account, you'll need to authorize your new computer/iTunes library to do so. You can do this by choosing Store -> Authorize This Computer and then entering in your old account credentials.
That's all you should need to. Then just create your own account and start purchasing and using it the same you have with the old one.

My Power MAC G5 has a peculiar problem. The monitor fails to report until the machine is started and shut down 5 or 6 times. Once it has booted it can be restarted without incident from the Apple menu. I have swapped out all of the hardware. Monitor, Memmory,Video Card and reset the PRAM. After resetting the PRAM it booted on the first attempt and I thought it was solved. But the next day it was back to starting and stopping until the Monitor came on. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks
It could be a bad PRAM battery corrupting your PRAM. Typically when I have monitor issues on startup it is a bad PRAM battery.
Texas Mac Man's PRAM, battery, PMU tutorial - https://sites.google.com/site/macpram/mac-pram-nvram-cuda-pmu-battery-tutorial
Apple's PRAM reset directions - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
If you have a digital multimeter you can check the condition of your present battery. It should read at least 3.2V if it is the 3.6V half-AA battery type. A new battery provides 3.67 Volts DC. A bad battery provides under 3.2 Volts DC. Ideally this should be measured while the battery is under load; added recommendation from Hans777:
>I have recently found out that an exhausted battery will still indicate >3.6 V with a high internal resistance VM.
>
>Checking incircuit: powercord disconnected press PMU reset button for >about 5 sec before measuring.
>
>Checking outside: load the battery with a 1500 Ohm resistor when measuring.
Alternatively, test the battery while it is still in the computer.
If the battery is more than 5 years old, especially if you totally disconnect the computer from the power regularly, or have left it unplugged for several months at one time, it is likely the battery is dead.
Sometimes you have to do a more intensive reset of hardware management:

I have a power mac g5 and it don't have a hard drive
what do i have to do
Install a hard drive, buy a retail version of OS X appropriate for the computer (OS X 10.5x is likely best) and install the OS on the newly installed hard drive.
You will need a SATA rev 2 or possible SATA rev 3 hard drive of less than 2.2 TB capacity.
Use Western Digital Blue or Black and Hitachi 7k drives.
Western Digital Velociraptors are also good.
SATA rev. 2 drives by WD and Hitachi are plug and play.
SATA rev. 3 drives from WD are fine with jumper on pins 5&6.
Hitachi SATA rev. 3 7200K drives are plug and play.
Do not exceed 2.2 TB in a single volume.
Avoid Seagate and ALL green or 5400 RPM drives.
Best to not risk SATA rev. 3 SSDs. There have been reports of non-use for a couple of popular drives by OCZ, Crucial, Corsair......
Sandforce controlled SATA rev 2 SSDs are fine.
Only retail OS X discs can be used.
They are scarce and can be expensive:

I've tried unplugging everything but it hasn't helped. Sometimes get an error message saying it was not turned off properly. Operating system is 10. something - not sure without turning it on!
Hello Vicky,
Does it boot into any of these modes?
Holding Option/alt key at bootup.
Holding SHIFT key at bootup.
Target mode...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
/sbin/fsck -fy
Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
(Space between fsck AND -fy important).
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
We might get clues with verbose mode...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.) -
I have a Power Mac G4 running Tiger that will not open Classic 9.1
I have an old Power Mac G4 Running OSX 10.4.11 that would run Classic 9.1. I haven't used the computer in a long time, but am trying now, and Classic will not start. I get no alerts, besides one that says "You have Mac OS 9.1 Installed. It's recommended that you upgrade to Mac OS 9.2" With "OK" as the only option. Afterwards it just goes to the start up screen for Classic and the blue bar doesn't move, but flickers. I have tried restarting, and all extensions are off. I don't know what else to do. Does anyone have any suggestions??
You'll need to copy these files onto your computer in Mac OS 9 to be able to extract the 9.2.1 update, install it, and then the 9.2.2 update and install it:

HT204319 I have a Power mac G4 and I'm trying to upgrade it so I can transfer it to a new Imac
I just purchaseda new Imac and am trying to transfer data from my old PowerMac G4 that has ssytem 10.5.8
When following the prompts from the new Imac it asked me to open Migration assistant which I did.
The new computer found the old but there was a yellow triangle with an excamation point in it, I clicked that and it said I needed to update the old computer to a newer version.
That's where I'm stuck.http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5872 says
Migration Assistant in Mavericks is compatible with OS X Snow Leopard v10.6.8 or later. If you are migrating from an earlier version of OS X, update your older computer first, or manually copy your data from one computer to another.
You cannot upgrade your Mac to 10.6.8 so you will have to transfer the data manually as indicated in the linked page. -
I have deleted the video clips used to make an iMovie project as I thought the bits usedt were saved as part of the iMovie project. Initially the project still played post deletion. However it is no longer working as it says it can't find the video clips. Is this rescuable?
I have a very upset daughter as project took her 2 days and was her holiday memories....
Any help gratefully received
KarenThere's no harm in looking inside the Trash folder.
When a file or folder is deleted, it is moved into the Trash folder to give you a chance to recover it if it was deleted by mistake. Of course that means Trash folder could grow large as time goes and more files are deleted.
You can recover your movies if they are still in the trash.
You should also empty the trash if you think you don't need the files in it to free up disk space. -
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
