Can I run an osx game on lion?

I have Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds for OSX.  I just bought a new Macbook Pro with Lion.  Can this game work?  when I put in the disc, it shows folders of the content, but I don't see a real way to install it.  Any help is appreciated.
Thank.

A prompt comes up telling me Power PC applications are no longer supported.  Is there a way around it, or an emulator that will make this work?  My previous Macbook Pro played the original Dark Forces.  That was around long before osx.

    can we run an online game server on a os x server

    Yes, you can.
    Probably unnecessary, though.
    OS X Server provides different services than what a game server expects and uses.  (There can be reasons to run OS X Server on your local network — mail services, web services, local DNS services, etc — and there can be reasons not to — fewer or no services configured running for the inevitable remote attackers to attack, etc.)
    If you're one of the many folks looking to run Minecraft Server here, that definitely doesn't require OS X Server.
    Once Minecraft Server and Java and the related peices are configured, the next biggest issue the Minecraft folks tend to encounter is with establishing a static or dynamic IP connection into the Minecraft Server — port forwarding and such — and with establishing the dynamic or static DNS translations to allow the remote users to connect to the server, and then with hardening the OS X or OS X Server system against the inevitable security attacks against the system.
    There are previous discussions of installing and configuring and troubleshooting the Minecraft Server bits posted around the forums, and it's likely been discussed elsewhere around the 'net, as well.

  • Why can't i run my clifford game on lion

    I upgraded to lion recently and now my preschooler can no longer run The Cliffor Learning game. Error message is this machine no longer supports power PC

    You can obtain an inexpensive external drive and install OS 10.6 on it. The most inexpensive external drives are USB 2, you can obtain a small one (500-GB) for well under $100. Sometimes you can find them for ~ $50 or so on sale at large stores. Install OS 10.6 on it and the programs you have that won't run under Lion. You can boot into the older OS external disk by holding down the option key when you start your Mac. Select that drive to boot from and it will run from that drive, where your child can run his older games.

  • Can i run multiple osx operating systems on my mac book pro?

    hello, i was wondering if i can run multiple osx operating systems on my mac book pro? i currently have the latest version of lion but many of my applications require snow leopard to operate... thank you for any help.

    The easiest solution is to partition your drive to provide a second partition on which you can install Snow Leopard. It need not be a large partition because you can still access applications on the other partition.
    To resize the drive do the following:
    1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
    3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.  (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
    4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
    You should now have a new volume on the drive.
    It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss.  Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.

  • Does Photoshop Elements 9 run on OSX 10.7 Lion?

    Does Photoshop Elements 9 run on the current version of OSX? Can it run WITHOUT Rosetta, which was present up to 10.6 for PowerPC programs?

    Sure. PSE has been intel native at least since PSE 6. PSE 6, 8, 9 and 10 all work fine in lion.

  • Can i run windows based games on boot camp

    i set up and installed windows XP on my mac mini..i have no idea how to switch from mac os x to windows other then restart and hold the option key down..i was wondering if it is possible to put windows in my mac os x dock, and if i can play windows based games on it..

    Hi,
    in order to use a BootCamp Windows you have to reboot your Mac. There is no other way.
    You might wanna tryout BootPicker http://www.apple.com/education/resources/bootpicker/ instead of the Option-key.
    To run Windows alongside OSx you have to use some Virtualization app, like the free VirtualBox or the commercial Parallels or VMWare Fusion.
    But all of them are not really meant to run games.
    Regards
    Stefan

  • 1 app, 3 devices, 1 iCloud - how can I run the same game on different devices?

    My wife and I share one iTunes account and one iCloud account for 2 iPhone 5's and an iPad.  Our home laptop is a PC running windows 7.  We are not able to both play the same game (specifically Carcassone) at the same time on different devices which is frustrating, how can I make this happen?  Do I need two separate accounts?  Can I have two accounts with a PC?  We don't want to sacrifice the photostream to get it though.
    Thank you,
    Jacob

    Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
    When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
    Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
    It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

  • Can I run Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion on the same iMac?

    I have a late 2009 iMac with a 1tb hard drive running Snow Leopard.  Can I partion the hard drive and upgrade to Mountain Lion on one part and keep Snow Leopard on the other?  If not, can I partition my external back-up drive that I use for Time Machine to do the same thing?

  • Snow Leopard HD being replaced; my files are on external HD; can I run them off of MBA Lion?

    My Mac issues .... bad seagate hard drive .... , finally being replaced as of today by Apple store per the warranty. The MBA? All sorts of issues(el cheapo version--only $999 <insert evil smirk>; 2011 11-inch, measley 64G flash drive; memory keeps being eaten alive by some kind of "other" mystery files). Whatever. It's not like I'm not used to all the problems with this machine anyway ... so I'll hang on to it and try to work with it till Thursday.
    I've got both of my Macs backed up on a 1T Seagate external HD. With the 27-inch Mac in the Genius Hospital getting a new hard drive, I'd like to try to do one or both of the following:
    1. Work off of the iMac Snow Leopard stuff saved on the external hard drive (backed up ON the seagate external as well as on Time Machine--yes, it's journaled, whatever that means). Is that possible? There were very confusing issues with permissions that I was not able to resolve on my own before I took the Macs to the Apple store, so .... that brings me to Number 2.
    2. Since the idiot MBA has to have its hard drive wiped out for a fresh install on Thursday, can I wipe it out myself, OR just access the Snow Leopard files somehow off of the Seagate external drive? But they are only backed up via Time Machine, so it's what? Impossible to work with just one file, plus I've got those issues with disk permissions.
    I guess what I'm wondering is, can I use this MBA sort of as a temporary machine to run the Snow Leopard? I don't need everything off of the iMac, because I'm only talking about using it like this for today and tomorrow.  I'm more than happy to wipe out the entire contents of this MBA (it's backed up on the seagate external also) and just use it as Snow Leopard until I can get the iMac back and reinstall it all on there. Is that possible?
    I've googled until I'm blue in the face and my eyes have glazed over. I cannot figure it out. Obviously, this being the 11-inch MBA, there is no CD drive, so no way to boot off a Snow Leopard disk.
    Anyone? Buehler? Anyone? Can I work with my own files on that external drive, even if it means I wipe out the MBA?

    Can I do this?
    Only if your computer shipped with Mac OS X 10.4. Use the 10.4 package that shipped with it.
    How?
    Install it normally, considering the point above.
    Snow Leopard won't let me install an older version of OS.
    It's not Snow Leopard that won't let you. It's the computer itself.

    Hi everybody.
    I have an IMAC G5 Powermac.
    I would like to exec an OSX intel application in my computer.
    Is it possible ?
    Thanks in advance.

    No.
    See if the developers can provide a 'universal' version of the application, i.e. one that works on bothPPC as well as Intel based Macs.

  • HT1752 How can I run classic Mac games on my Mac, I am running Mac OS X.

    I would like to run some of the old educational cds I have but none of them will work on my mac. I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8. I was wondering if anyone out there could post a step by step tutorial to getting old games to run. Thanks very much for any  help.

    Check around on the web and the manufacturers websites to see if any of those classic games have been updated or remodified to play on Intel Macs and your os. 

  • Can you run CS5 without Java under Lion?

    I know you need Java to install CS5 initially, but can apps in CS5 run without Java? Is it just features (AdobeConnect) that require Java, or will everythng grind to a halt without it?
    With all the security holes in Java, is would be nice to uninstall it.

    It sounds like it's necessary from this Adobe technote: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/known-issues-mac-os-10.html
    "If the Java Runtime isn't installed, the following issues can occur in Adobe applications:
    Features are missing or behave improperly
    The software doesn't start
    Prompts to install Java Runtime occur
    Applications hang or quit"
    Here is an article on current security issues with Java. The danger isn't in running applications that require Java. It's in allowing your web browser to have Java turned on:

  • Purchased OSx 7 Mountain Lion on May 31st. After a virus in October

    Purchased OSx 7 Mountain Lion on 5/31/13. After a virus in October & system wipe, I'd like to re-install without having to re-purchase. It was sent as an online update, so I don't have a disc (or the original e-mail, due to the virus). Couldn't restore e-mail from backup...

    It was sent as an online update, so I don't have a disc (or the original e-mail, due to the virus)
    It's highly unlikely you had any kind of virus since there are none that affect OS X. A Trojan or a couple of others types of malware, possibly.
    Anyway, I presume "It" is Mountain Lion? If this purchase was from anywhere other than directly from Apple, either through the App Store or Apple's online store, then you bought an illegal copy from another vendor. As such, it's very likely that download of ML itself was laced with malware.
    You should fix your tag line. iOS 7 and a 13" MacBook have nothing to do with each other. The iOS is a completely separate OS and is only for Apple's mobile devices such as the iPhone and iPad. OS X is what runs Apple's computers, such as your laptop, iMac, Mac Pro and Mac Mini.
    Your tag line also doesn't match up with your post. All late 2007 MacBooks came with Leopard, 10.5.x and can't run any OS higher than Lion, 10.7.x. So it's not possible you ever had Mountain Lion, 10.8.x running on that Mac.
    If you did purchase Mountain Lion (much more likely, Lion) through the App Store, all you need to do is login to the App Store with the identical user name and password you make your App Store purchases under. You will be able to download and install your OS upgrade again at no cost.

  • I am running Mac OSx Lion 10.7.2. My problem is I can't search on an external network server for a file with the finder toolbar anymore. Nothing shows up and it will not search. I was able to in snow-leopard and am no longer able to w. Lion. Suggestions?

    I am running Mac OSx Lion 10.7.2.
    My issue is that I am not able to run a search in the finder toolabar on a network server. No files show up nor does it search on the server anymore. I was able to run the search in snow-leopard and am no longer able to do so with Lion. Is there a preference I can change or some kind of app or program I can download that will help me with this issue? This is extremely problematic for me as I am searching for files all day everyday. Thank you!

    Hello,
    It isn't the fw in Network you want o use or look at, that's for something completely different.
    My first suspect is the Power Adapter on the LaCie has gone.
    At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware>Firewire, what is listed there?
    Reset the Firewire bus
    If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device.  A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
    1. Shut the machine down.
    2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.
    3. leave it for 10 minutes.
    4. Connect back up and reboot.
