Can I run sims 2 on my macbook pro 10.6.8?

I would like to purcahse the sims 2 for a mac. I have a macbook pro OS X version 10. 6. 8.
Through researching it seems like sometimes there are problems and I'd like to make a good decision before buying something that won't work.
Thanks!

Probably.  It's a PPC game, so it should run on 10.6.8.

  • Hi, i'm Architec and my basic programs are: Autodesk Architecture and 3D studio Max. Can i run it in the MacBook Pro 13.3-Inch  (NEWEST VERSION) Thanks!!!

    Hi, i'm Architec and my basic programs are: Autodesk Architecture and 3D studio Max. Can i run it in the MacBook Pro 13.3-Inch  (NEWEST VERSION) Thanks!!!

    You can but make sure you upgrade your RAM to 16GB - you can't do that through Apple...
    Autodesk is a memory intensive program and the same goes with 3D Studio Max.....
    Another suggeston if you must use a 13 inch is to buy the base 13 inch Macbook Pro and upgrade the RAM to 16GB and install a SSD to make it perform fast.
    Another option is to get a refurbished 15 Inch Macbook Pro and do the RAM upgrade yourself...Advantage going 15 Inch is because it has it's own discrete graphics adapter rather than the built in Intel video.

  • Can i run snow leopard on macbook pro puchased new in 2009?

    Can I run snow leopard on macbook pro purchased new in 2009?

    The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available at this time from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list. The App Store which is required to download 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion is part of the 10.6.6 update.
    If you wait to long and they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already over $100 on Amazon.

  • How can i run Windows on a macbook Pro

    Hello
    I am close to a business decission to use in future a MACBook Pro with Retsina Display
    For Business reasons i have to be able to run also Winodws in a Virtual machine as some company internal applications need Windows
    Which program would i use here on the newest MAC-OS
    I want to use for private the MAC-OS and run Windows in a virtual environment to avoid Dual boot
    Is the winodws Machine from Network, Printer drivers and all other transparent to the network?
    bluetooth and other ports transparent supported in Windows?
    any restrictions you may know on such environment
    What versions of Windows are supported in such a virtuell environment?
    Can i run Outllook from Microsoft in MAC-OS ?
    Thanks very much for the answers

    I second jopilkie's recommendation for Parallels. I've been using Parallels for years - currently using Windows 7 Pro 64-bit with MS Office 2013, a ton of Adobe apps, etc. I use it primarily for Office, Adobe Acrobat Pro, Adobe LiveCycle Designer and a few other apps that aren't available for OS X.
    The answer is 'yes' to most of your questions - your network, printing, scanning, Bluetooth, DVD drive(s), external and internal hard drives, etc. can be accessed both in the Windows environment as well as OS X. And you can run Outlook either in on the Mac side or on the Windows side (personally, I signed up for Office 365 - $100 a year and you can install Office on up to 5 machines) - I use Outlook 2013 on the Windows side for three of my email accounts and Outlook 2011 on the Mac side for an additional 3 email accounts: it's nice to keep things separate that way!
    I would recommend running Windows 7 - 64-bit, but whichever 'flavor' you prefer. Personally, Pro works just fine for my needs.
    But beware Office 2013 on the Windows side - it really takes some familiarity until you become accustomed to it! Too much like Windows 8, but I'm getting used to it...
    Call back if you've other questions.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • If you already bought the windows version of office (Microsoft, Powerpoint...) can you run it on the macbook pro? Please help.

    Can you run the windows version of Office 2010 on a macbook pro? please answer back.

    Yes, if you use Boot Camp to run Windows on your Mac, Microsoft Office 2010 will be able to run without any issues. If you want to run Microsoft Office from within Mac OS X, you would need to purchase Microsoft Office for Mac.
    Hope that helps, have a great day.

  • Can i play The sims 4 on macbook pro 13 inch

    i'm going to buy a new macbook 13 inch with retina display,and i really want to know can i play this game on macbook? and how about the new macbook? can it play the sims4?

    Mik3OH,
    if the fans go like crazy, it’s because of the heat that results from running compute-intensive software. The fans activate to expel the heat from within your MacBook Pro, so that your electronic components don’t get cooked. If you want to run demanding software, then you absolutely do not want to prevent your fans from running — unless frying your MacBook Pro is your goal. You’ll also want to make sure that when you run such software, that nothing blocks the airflow into and out of the MacBook Pro — so play such games with your MacBook Pro on a hard flat surface, rather than on a soft cushioned surface.

    Can't connect external projector to MacBook Pro running Windows7. Any suggestions?

    Did you try a cable? The point is you did not provide any information about: what projector, how you are trying to connect, what happens when you try, error messages if any, does an external monitor work, what computer you have, what OS, etc.

    IDVD is sold separately.  (There are no realistic alternatives to iDVD.)
    You'll find it on the iLife 11 disc. Once installed Apple's website will update it to the latest version automatically.

  • The Sims 3 for MACBOOK PRO OS X 10.7.5

    Will it run? Because when I first purchased this macbook, I also purchased The Sims 3 and it would not run properly. The graphics were off and it was laggy. I really enjoyed this game and would like to purchase it again but I do not want to waste money if it is not compatable. In addition, if it is not currently compatable, can something be added to my MacBook Pro in order for it to run properly? Thank you.

    Mac OS X 10.5.7 Leopard or higher
    Intel Core Duo Processor
    2 GB RAM
    ATI X1600 or Nvidia 7300 GT with 128 MB of Video RAM, or Intel Integrated GMA X3100.
    At least 6.1 GB of hard drive space with at least 1 GB of additional space for custom content and saved games
    This game will not run on PowerPC (G3/G4/G5) based Mac systems, or the GMA 950 class of integrated video cards.
    Those are EA games requirements for the sims 3
    I have OS X 10.7.5
    2.3 Ghz Inter core i5 processor
    I have Intel HD graphics 3000 384 MB ( which im guessing is the problem )
    I have contacted EA games before and they said my graphics card needed to be higher, which I didnt understand considering I bought a brand new macbook pro...but regardless, if this is the case, what do I need to purchase for my Macbook in order to make this run properly?

  • I need to totally format my macbook pro 13" mid 2009, can i use my friend's macbook pro 13's dvds?

    my macbook pro 13 is originally shipped with mac os x 10.5.7, now with 10.6.8, but i dont have the dvds with me, i also dont want any of the information on it, can i use my friend's macbook pro 13's dvds? what can i do?
    My macbook pro 13" dvds have these on them
        DVD 1: 13 inch macbook pro mac os x install dvd version 10.5.7 2Z691-6468-A Disc version 1.1
        DVD 2: 13 inch macbook pro applications install dvd disc  AHT version 3A174 disc version 1.0   2Z691-6458-A
    My friend's macbook pro 13
        DVD 1: 13 INCH MACBOOK PRO MAC OS X INSTALL DVD Mac os x version 10.6.7 Disk version 1.2
        DVD 2: 12 in macbook pro applications install dvd AHT version 3A21 Disc version 1.1
    Would my friend's dvds work to format my macbook pro to factory settings as if out of the box?
    i also had windows running on my mac, i used disc utility to erase the partition for windows, not bootcamp, so the partition is empty, i cant get the main hard drive extended as it was before because it gives me a message saying "could not modify partition map because filesystem verification failed", and when i try to verify it through disc utility it says that i need to my os x dvd and repair it, if i just format it, will that all go away?
    thank you

    Simple answer is no.
    Slightly more complicated answer;
    You may be able to boot from the disc and use Disk Utility to partition and wipe the HDD (though it may not boot at all).
    You can't install an OS from the other computer's discs. It simply will not allow the installation.
    You would also be violating the software licence agreement.
    As your originals are 10.5.x, you can buy the Snow Leopard retail installer (10.6.3) and format and install from that.
