Can I use Windows Solitaire on new iMac?

I recently switched from a PC to an iMac and I miss the mindless hours I used to spend playing Solitaire. I've downloaded a Widget Solitaire from the Apple site, but it's kind of anemic compared to my old Windows version. There are many different Solitaire files here to be downloaded, but I really hate to junk up my new machine installing multiple games just to find the perfect Windows clone. Aside from downloading and trying different versions, does anyone know of one that is comparable to the Windows standard version (like...identical)? Or, better yet, would it hurt my Mac to drag and copy the old Windows sol.exe file I've saved on my external drive over to the Mac? Is that file compatible with a Mac?
Sorry if this is a stupid question - I just don't want to do anything that will mess up my beautiful new Mac.
Thanks in advance,
Sunny

You might want to try Allgood Solitaire, I have been using it for years as my replacement for Windows Solitaire & Free Cell, not to mention Spider and a number of other Solitaire games. Klondike with 1 or 3 cards is pretty much what you're looking for as a replacement.
As was said in the previous post you would need to run Windows on your Mac via 1 of the 3 methods mentioned. If Solitaire is your only missing Windows need going that route would be way overkill.
Good Luck.

  • How can I use windows software on the IMac

    How can I use windows software on my iMac? I know I can partition the hard drive but do I need to buy Windows OS?

    You can use Boot Camp, which comes with your Mac and install a copy of Windows on a new partition, or you can use a virtual application like Parallels. 

  • Can i install Windows XP on new iMac 2013 to use quickbooks

    I have just bought a new iMac 2013  and need to use my Windows Quickbooks programme for our small business. I understand that I can use Bootcamp to  install my Windows XP and then Quickbooks 2010/11.
    Is it true that the new iMac  Bootcamp no longer supports Windows XP?  I realistically only use the Quickbooks every 3 months. What is my best solution to be able to use Quickbooks on my new iMac

    No. Boot Camp only supports Windows 7 or Windows 8. If you want to use XP, then you will need to use virtualization software such as:
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
         1. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
             Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software
             virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
             with OS X.
         2. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
             or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that
             enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
         3. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
             applications without having to install Windows.  The
             Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
         4. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
             as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
             It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
             Fusion.
    Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • Can't see Windows PC on new iMac but Windows PC can see iMac

    My brand new iMac is up and running except I can not see my Dell Laptop running Windows. The strange thing is that my Dell Laptop can see the iMac just fine and I can access shared folders without any problems. My call to Apple support didn't leave me with a resolution so I figured the forums could provide better help. I can ping my laptop but nothing shows up in my network or in "shared". The closest we came was to go to a browser window and type in smb://(computer name of laptop). This provided only a temporary solution because it un-mounts after restarts, etc and then I have to do it all over again.

    Well, I have narrowed the issue down to Snow Leopard 10.6.2. Leopard install works just fine. I tried a different router going to a D-Link 655 from a Linksys and the result is the same. The Mac can not see my Windows computers under the network but my Windows PCs can see and access the Mac just fine. I can ping my Windows machines and I can create a temporary mount using the smb command but that is a band-aid to the problem. The odd issue is that I can see them temporarily if I delete my network connection and then re-establish it. I guess the Google searches are correct...Snow Leopard did break SMB support. Apple...can you please fix this. The world does not just run on Mac.

  • Can't use flash drive with new iMac

    We are new Mac users.  My husband downloaded a zip file of aviation charts.  He needs to transfer the zip file to a flash drive and then to a portable device so that he can use the charts when he flies.  We plugged in a flash drive, but it doesn't show up on the desktop or anywhere else.  We have looked everywhere on the system.  What are we doing wrong?  Thanks for your help!

    Make sure you have prefs set to show external storage devices on the Desktop and in the Sidebar. To set that, go to Finder's Preferences (Preferences in the Finder menu).
    On the General tab in Finder Preferences, checkmark the item "External disks" near the top.
    On the Sidebar tab in Finder Preferences, checkmark the item "External disks" under Devices.
    You may also need to format the drive before you can use it. You can use Disk Utility to do that (Applications folder > Utilities > Disk Utility).

  • I have an 06 iMac can I use that with a new iMac mini?

    My iMac is from 06 I can't afford a brand new one at this time but I can get a mini and my friend says all you need is a monitor. I was wondering if that could be hooked into the current iMac I have or if I'll have to specifically get a new monitor and not the thunderbolt one, obviously I can't afford that either if I'm just getting the mini cause I can't completely upgrade. Is this possible? Or will I have to look into getting a monitor as well?

    Okay thank you that helped me, still it would be far less than getting a new one, I have friends who are geeks who could loan me a monitor til I get one LoL.

  • I have the old Creative suite CS, can I use it with my new IMAC?

    My new computer doesnt have a CD drive and I need to use my old Creative suite on it. How do I do so?

    If it's the original CS version of the Creative Suite then, no, it's too old. That ran on PPC-based Macs.
    Your new Mac is Intel-based and will not run PPC-based software.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you have a Late 2012 iMac (without a built-in SuperDrive), you can use a USB drive to install Windows with Boot Camp and you shouldn't have any problem

  • How to install PS CS3 for Windows on my new iMac? [was:New computer]

    I have a new iMAC and would like to download Photoshop CS3 extended. I had before a PC and I have the serial number. Is there a way? I really need to install it and dont mind to upgrade it.

    I didn't deactivate the account in my old pc because it is broken and cannot get it. Maybe is that the resaon why doesn't work?
    Not related.
    The reason it doesn't work is because perptually licensed products (such as your CS3 for Windows) are always issued with serial numbers specific to your operating system. Mac only serial numbers cannot be used on Windows. Likewise Windows serials cannot be used on Macs.
    In short, you cannot install your CS3 Windows on your new iMac.
    Your best option to get Photoshop on your iMac now is to join the Cloud, which you can do at a discounted monthly fee since you're a CS3 owner.
    If you own Photoshop CS3 standalone retail version - not a suite or an educational version - then you could do it for $9.99/month and get Photoshop CC + Lightroom 5 + extras

  • Can i install bootcamp on the new iMac late 2012 "27"?

    can i install bootcamp on the new iMac late 2012 "27" without fushion drive?

    You have two possibilities:
    1. Buy the USB SuperDrive and install Windows from a disc.
    2. Use an USB drive with the Windows 7 installer inside.
    Boot Camp isn't compatible with Windows 8, so you will have to wait. Also, the Late 2012 is only compatible with the 64-bit Windows 7 edition

  • Trying to install Windows 7 on new iMac

    Trying to install Windows 7 on new iMac (OS X Mavericks). Have Windows 7 DVD. Have superdrive. Have USB flash drive. What is, and where do I find the "Windows ISO image" that Bootcamp is asking for? ("select the Windows ISO image"...)

    You can use the installation dvd from microsoft or you can download the iso file from microsoft and use that method instead.

  • Can i use iCloud for pages documents iMac?

    can i use iCloud for pages documents iMac?

    Hi lmdavis72,
    It looks like you can.
    From "iCloud: Documents in the Cloud overview"
    You can download a document from icloud.com/iwork to your Mac or Windows computer, edit it, and then drag the revised version to icloud.com/iwork. It’s then automatically updated on all of your iOS devices. You can also drag an iWork ’09 (Keynote, Pages, and Numbers) or Microsoft Office (PowerPoint, Word, and Excel) document created on your computer to icloud.com/iwork.
    So it looks like it can go between iOS devices and your iMac.
