Can I download windows games on my iPad and Mac?

I really think the games for Mac and ipad are boring.  I miss Polar Pool and Boggle which I used to have ln my old computer with windows.
I haven't been able to download these games. I tried on my ipad and it downloaded to my dropbox, but wouldn't allow me to view it.
I also tried on my MAC but it said i couldn't open it because the Mac didn't support it.  I did download a different version of Boggle, but it is nothgin
like the original on my windows computer.
Is there any kind of program I can download that will allow me to download these types of games?

I don't consider myself a gamer either unless you what to include Bejeweled and Sudoku as games. But I have helped enough gamers to know that Boot Camp is the best way to get Windows on a Mac for them.
You might consider it an easy solution but I know for a fact that if you don't follow the directions exactly you can destroy both the Windows and Mac so that nothing runs at all. My primary recommendation would be backup first. Preferably a bootable clone so that you can recover quickly in case of problems.

    no, you can't store games in icloud.  But you can delete them from the ipad and later get them back from the itunes store without paying for it.

    If you tap and hold down the icon - and the X does not appear on the icon - you will not be able to delete it without totally downloading it. Finish the download and then delete it.

  • Can you download windows 7 or 8 on the Mac

    I'm trying to install microsoft office for school and the disc won't download on my computer. So can I download windows 7 and 8.

    You can purchase and install Windows then purchase and install Office for Windows.
    Or, you can download and install Office for Mac with no need to install Windows.

  • Can I download Windows XP on my Macbook and if not...

    Can I download Windows 7 without a disc?
    When I went to go use Boot Camp Assitant, it told me that I NEED to download Windows 7 on my computer. Is there any way to get around this and instead download Windows XP?
    If there is not, I can download Windows 7 from the Microsoft store and that will be a set amount of money, but can I use that with Boot Camp Assistant or do I need a legitimate CD? Can I burn whatever Microsoft gives me onto a CD and then use that? Or do I NEED to buy the backup CD?
    The reason I ask is because a. I would like to do this all tonight, if possible and b. because it costs an extra $15 for a backup CD that I wouldn't necessarily need otherwise.

    You also can't use a burned CD as Apple has formatted Boot Camp to not accept them (for obvious reasons.)
    I haven't heard this.  You should be able to download Windows 7 directly from Microsoft.  They usually let you download either an .exe file or an ISO image.  Don't get the .exe version as that needs to be run within Windows (you could use this if you were upgrading Windows).  You can use the ISO to burn a DVD and use that to install Windows.

    Also the audible app is for iPhone 5 and above
    According to https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/audiobooks-from-audible/id379693831?mt=8 it only requires iOS 5 or later and it is "optimized" for iPhone 5. I think it will likely work well on your iPhone 4.
    Compatibility: Requires iOS 5.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.

  • Can't import images using iCloud on iPad and Mac

    Yes. I have followed the "easy" instructions of the Apple site for setting my up my icloud account and sign in with both devices. Yes I have seen every imaginable youtube video of how to's and followed the steps.  I am connected to the internet, signed in with icloud in both devices, ticked automatic upload of photos, photo sharing, etc. Now where do I find the images? are they automatically imported NO and if I enter icloud from the internet can I see my images NO!
    and if i followed the easy steps to import them using iphoto, it just says something stupid like "import the photos" yeah...how???!!

    I have an Ipad2 and a Macbook pro, latest software versions downloaded today
    Which software versions exactly? "latest" may depend on your hardware. MacOS X10.9.1)? iPhoto 9.5.1?.
    Othe fact is when i go to the icloud.com the photos are not there either. I made an album on the ipad and "shared" manually the photos for icloud and nope, it doesnt work.
    How did you share the album?
    You can share to a shared Photo Stream and publish that stream as a public webpage on your iCloud webpage. Is taht what you have done? Then you need to use exactly the url, that is given, when you publish the webpage. It is not linked on your iCloud page.
    If I wanted download manually the photos to iphoto I cant I cant because the icloud icon doesnt appear in the left menu of iphoto like the one you are showing, it doesnt display either a shared button like the one you have in your screen and it doesnt explain at all how to import images.
    Let's compare the settings on your Mac:
    In System Preferences - you say you are signed into iCloud, o.k.
    Did you enable the options for "Photos"?
    Check, if bot "My Photo Stream" and "Photo Sharing" are enabled.
    Otherwise iPhoto will not show the iCloud options.
    In iPhoto you should see the iCloud panel I posted as a Tab in the iPhoto Preferences panel.
    (My screenshots are done in iPhoto 9.5.1 and MacOS X 10.9.1)

  • How can I play Windows games that require CD on mac mini bootcamp?

    Hey!
    So have a brandnew optical drive-less mac mini, and have Windows 7 installed as bootcamp partition. Want to play a game on the Windows side but it requires a CD be in the drive to play - which, obviously, I don't have. I tried Carbon Copy Cloner to a USB stick - it worked for the installation but not the game play. Any suggestions how I get an image to mount that the Windows Bootcamp will recognize? Is it possible to mount the CD as a shared disk on my G5 elsewhere on my network or should I just stick to Daemon Tools or MagicISO stuff on Windows. If the latter - how do I get the data from a USB stick mounted as a disk image then (do I need to copy it to the local, then create a disk image and then copy to that image for example?)
    I can see this is going to be a problem for all sorts of other things I still have "legacy" I can see so any help on this will carry forward, thanks.

    Yeah, I know, but the whole idea of moving away from disks isn't such a bad one - so I'm wondering if I can implement it someway - I have the original copy disks so it's not about pirating them to play games but ripping them the right way so they work... hmmm.

  • I wonder if Apple will ever make it where you can play your pc games on your ipad

    I wish apple would on their next update, make it where you can put your pc games on your ipad and play them without having to be online.

    Doubtful. PC games use a different operating system so they're not compatible. Your game manufacturers would h ave to make app versions of their games, so the burden is on them to be compatible with Apple, not for Apple to alter their OS to work with games.

  • How can I download my pictures from my Ipad (ios 8.1.3) to to my computer (windows 7) either directly thru a USB cable or indirectly with a SD card?

    How can I download my pictures from my Ipad (ios 8.1.3) to to my computer (windows 7) either directly thru a USB cable or indirectly with a SD card?  I have lost important pictures on the computer.  Most of them are intact on my I Pad.  I am aware that I-Cloud is an option, but would rather do it another way.

    use the Windows Photo import with the lightning-to-USB cable.
