Classic Game Music Issues!

I just downloaded a bunch of Classic games that I used to play on my blueberry iMac: Aperion, Barrack, Bubble Trouble, Descent, and Foobar Versus the DEA. They play fine except the game music is twice as fast and high pitched! I'm wondering, is there is a setting I just haven't turned on or off? Or... Any suggestions?
By the way I have Tiger 4.6 on an iMac G5, the one that came out brand new last year.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Many games base their programming on the assumption that the processor cycles will be always the same. Unfortunately some games will only work at the right tempo on a machine made during the time the games were published. I haven't tried those particular games. See if some of those game publishers still exist and if they have any solutions to suggest.

I'm running Windows 8 Pro (RTM -> TechNet). Everything seemed OK the first day of use. Now onto the next day, I can't "Sign In" to any of the Xbox Apps and the Bing Weather app doesn't update its Live Tile with local weather. Other tiles/apps like Finance

I am able to sign-in to the SkyDrive App without issue, and the Store App works fine as well. I have tried uninstalling Games, Music, and Video apps and reinstalling to correct the issue, no dice.
My Microsoft Account still signs into this site, my regular Xbox, iPad Xbox App, and Windows Phone just fine. What is up with Windows 8? Thanks in advance.

It appears to end up having been a time sync issue. I must have only been off a couple of seconds?!? I decided to try Armed! and it reported a difference in Time when creating my profile for the game and I was like.. hmmm. So I went ahead and hit Internet
Time settings (under Date and Time in Control Panel) and did a Update Now with time.windows.com. I am now able to login on all the apps I was having issues with before where it was stuck at "Signing In".

I have 60gb ipod classic. Music plays, but screen is blank or white. Resetting has not worked. Lines show when reset, but no Apple logo. Is display shot?

Hello Paul,
I would be concerned too if my display on my iPod classic was not working. I recommend going through the steps in this tutorial. If it is a software issue, these steps should resolve the issue:

I'm also having a music issue. When my phone is attached to the computer (mac running 10.6.8) it looks like my music is there but its gray and I can't play anything. I've tried to delete it and it won't let me but it does not show up on my phone.

By the way, I have tried shutting of the display switching in the power settings. That was basically the only real answer I found anywhere. It didn't work.

Where do you find Ipod classic games in itunes 9

I am having trouble finding ipod classic games in the new version of itunes 9. I have been purchasing applications for the iphone and itouch. I would like to find ipod classic games please help!!!

The links to iPod ClickWheel Games are currently missing from the UK store. I've dropped a line to iTunes Feedback but more probably wouldn't hurt. If you stick your applications folder in List view, select an existing game and then click on the store link (blue arrow) it should open the correct page for that game in the store. I can't work out the address to provide a generic link to the main ClickWheel page but this link below should take you to the page for Monopoly and you ought to be able to find other games from there.

Mac classic games on OS X

Hey, so while cleaning my room I found an old game called Imperialism, its a great game and when I went to try and play it says that MAc Classic is not supported on my macbook pro with moiutnain lion. Is there any way I can still play this game on my computer, without downgrading my OS?
cheers

The Classic game Risk II running in Sheepshaver on my Lion Mac Mini:
[click on images to enlarge]
Here is a post I recently assembled for another similar question:
With the newer Intel Macs, you have to run a Classic emulator such as SheepShaver, which requires you to extract the Mac ROMs from your older Classic Mac and then install Mac OS 9.
A related program is Chubby Bunny, which comes bundled with all of that included (google the term "Classic-On-Intel v 4.0.1 chubby bunny").

*** where have the ipod classic games gone?

DOes anyone know where the ipod classic games on itunes have gone?

Where have you been these last few years? All iPod clickwheel games were removed from the iTunes Store as of October 2011. Any you still have in your library can be used with a compatible device, but they can no longer be purchased or redownloaded from the store so keep a good backup.

Free iPod classic games?

Where I can find free iPod classic Games?

As far as I can recall, the only free game that Apple provides (well, who else can?!) is Vortex. It already comes with the iPod classic, as you may know.
I don't know of anyone apart from those contracted by Apple who has been able to make games for the iPod classic.
And I haven't seen a new title come out for the iPod classic ever since the iPhone 3G was able to obtain apps from the Store!

OpenGL issue with Mac Classic games?

I'm trying to use some great old OS 9 games (Vampire: Masquerade and ST: Elite Force, etc) but whenever they switch over to the 3D rendered segments the screen goes completely black with only sound playing.
I suspect OpenGL is somehow involved as that is the required program for these games, right? And it's included on all OS systems, but for some reason mine is not giving me love.
I've got an iMac with OS 10.3.9.
Any insight?

Hi
Maybe get in touch with the people who make the game?
Don't know if there is a forum that deals with OpenGL. How about the Mac OS 9 forum, may help?

IPod Classic no music, freezing iTunes, not showing up, HELP????

I have a used iPod Classic 120GB. I bought it off my friend. I took it home and added my files (about 5,000 songs and 13 videos) to his stuff (about 6,000 songs) and ended up with it being about half full. I let it sync, then ejected and disconnected. But it said there was nothing on it. I went back and reconnected it to my iTunes. The iTunes froze, and I couldnt access the iPod in anyway. I disconnected it, and when I did it unfroze everything, and popped up in iTunes, saying that the iPod was missing.
I checked the iPod's "About" section and it said that it had 56GB of "Other". I took it back to my friend and he said he deleted the folder with everything in it. It is empty now except for 1.2 GB of who knows what, but still freezing my system and not showing up.
I have tried restarting it, and putting it into disk mode. Nothing worked.

HI, i am having the same issue with my ipod. Can you please tell me what you mean by putting on "disk mode" and deleting the files? Thanks
First let's make sure the drive is physically OK...
*Check your iPod with Diagnostics Mode*
It's possible that your iPod's hard drive has started to fail. Take your iPod and place your right thumb on the centre SELECT button and your left on the top MENU button. Press down both thumbs for about 6 seconds until your iPod reboots. Immediately move your left thumb around to the rewind button |<< on the left and hold this down together with SELECT for a further 6 seconds. Your iPod should now switch into Diagnostic Boot mode. Press MENU for *Manual Test*, then select *IO > HardDrive > HDSMARTData* to reveal your stats. For comparison here are mine for my 2 year old 6th Generation Classic:
Retracts: 889
Reallocs: 12
Pending Sectors: 0
PowerOn Hours: 2202
Start/Stops: 894
Temp: Current 24c
Temp: Min 10c
Temp: Max 50c
Take a note of your results. When finished press *SELECT & MENU* for 6 seconds to reset the iPod again.
With modern disc drives sectors are no longer marked bad by a disc scan, if the SMART firmware detects a sector it has trouble accessing it will attempt to invisibly reallocate it to a spare area of the disc.
Note that I've only 12 remapped sectors and none pending. To help explain what the numbers mean here is an extract from the Wikipedia S.M.A.R.T. article:
*Reallocated Sectors Count*
Count of reallocated sectors. When the hard drive finds a read/write/verification error, it marks this sector as "reallocated" and transfers data to a special reserved area (spare area). This process is also known as remapping, and "reallocated" sectors are called remaps. This is why, on modern hard disks, "bad blocks" cannot be found while testing the surface – all bad blocks are hidden in reallocated sectors. However, as the number of reallocated sectors increases, the read/write speed tends to decrease. The raw value normally represents a count of the number of bad sectors that have been found and remapped. Thus, the higher the attribute value, the more sectors the drive has had to reallocate.
*Pending sector count*
Number of "unstable" sectors (waiting to be remapped, because of read errors). If an unstable sector is subsequently written or read successfully, this value is decreased and the sector is not remapped. Read errors on a sector will not remap the sector (since it might be readable later); instead, the drive firmware remembers that the sector needs to be remapped, and remaps it the next time it's written.
Large numbers of Reallocs or Pending Sectors would suggest your drive is failing and that you may need to repair or replace your iPod. Check your stats after another attempt to update your iPod. If the numbers increase that again points to hard drive failure. While it won't be good news at least you'll know it isn't some random software problem and you can decide what to do next.
<hr>
Assuming you've ruled out a physical problem with the iPod's drive we can now move on to check for logical problems...
*Check iPod hard-drive for errors*
Hold Select+Menu on the iPod for about 6 seconds until it resets, then hold Select+Play as soon as the Apple logo appears, again for about 6 seconds to put the machine in disk mode. Open iTunes and in the Sync tab of the preferences menu check *Disable automatic syncing of all iPhones & iPods*. Now connect your iPod to the computer, wait until it connects, then close iTunes. Browse *My Computer* and right-click on the drive for the iPod, click Properties, then click Tools. Under Error-checking, click *Check Now*. Under Check disk options, select *Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors* (Optional - takes ages but a good idea if you've reason to suspect physical damage). Click Start. Mac users should run *Disk Utility / Repair Disk* for the equivalent process. This should find and correct any errors in the logical & physical structures of your iPod's hard drive. Once these have been fixed you can reset the iPod (hold Menu+Select ) and should stand a better chance of a successful restore. It might also pay to check the status of the source drive containing your media, particularly if no errors were found on the iPod.
And if that still doesn't help try Erase your iPod - The Super Fix for most iPod Problems. Basically a low level format of the iPod’s hard drive to get around whatever problems are stopping iTunes from restoring it.
Once you've restored your iPod don't rush to dump all the data back exactly as it was before. I have found that lots of large or complex smart playlists can sometimes trigger constant reboots or dumping of the iPod's library. In addition, larger transfers can fail leaving data in an inconsistent state. Try this technique for populating the iPod in stages.
*Break up large transfers*
In iTunes select the menu item *File... New Smart Playlist*. Change the first drop-down box to Playlist, the next to is and the next to Music. Tick against *Limit to*, type in say 10, then change the drop-down to GB, and set the last drop-down to artist. When you click OK you can enter a name for the playlist, e.g. Transfer. Now sync this playlist to your iPod rather than your entire library. When the sync is complete modify the rule ( *File... Edit playlist* ) to increase the size by your chosen amount, then sync and repeat. You can experiment with different size increments, if it doesn't work just choose something a bit smaller until it works each time. Before long you should have all your music on your iPod. Once that's done you can move on to other media such as podcasts, videos, photos, playlists etc.

ITunes 9, iPod Classic, iBook G4 - Issue!

Okay, I'm in desperate need of help.
I have an iBook G4, an iPod Classic, and had iTunes 9.
The iPod was formatted for my PC but I restored it so that I could have it on my Mac. So my issue is this: the iPod shows up on my desktop, and when I plug the iPod in, iTunes automatically opens, but the iPod does NOT show up in iTunes no matter what!
I considered going back to an older version of iTunes (iTunes 8) but I'm thinking I was told I need to use AppCleaner to get rid of all the newer iTunes crap, because when I tried without it, iTunes 8 said it could not open because the music was done with a newer version of iTunes.
So my PC is about to crash (which is the only way I download music to the iPod now) and I really need to fix this problem. Does anyone have a suggestion or encountered this problem and were able to fix it? I'm at my wits end.
Thanks!!

I used AppCleaner to delete iTunes and reinstalled iTunes 8.2 and now the iPod only appears on the desktop for a moment and iTunes says "An iPod has been detected but cannot be identified properly." Unplugging and replugging back in does not work. I then tried clicking update iTunes (to the newest version) just because I'm willing to try anything at this point and I'm back to desktop recognizing iPod but not iTunes.
Please can someone help, I am frustrated beyond belief.

Airplay music issues everywhere

I wonder, Airplay is nothing new nowadays, but nevertheless I have issues playing music all the time. I click the airplay icon on my device, it stays blued-out (selected) for a few seconds and unselects itself. No music. I have to try like 20 times before AppleTV finally accepts and plays music from either my iPhone or iPad 2. I use Airport Extreme and AppleTV2 at home.
At the office we have a few base stations connected to speakers and it's the same - sometimes the music plays straight away, but most times I have to selected the stupid airplay icon many times before it even makes a sound.
I don't expect this to be a problem in my install as I have the exact same issue on all my devices (iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPad, iPad2) on all networks I've had - Airport Express base extending a Wifi and an AppleTV2 connected to Extreme.
***** for sure

I am having the exact same issue with Iphone 4 and iPad 1st gen. I can view video, photos, and use the remote app just fine. Also I'm not having an issue with the icon, it is there and detects the Apple TV but music just doesn't stream. Or more accurately audio isn't streaming. Not even non-music apps or games are working.

IPod classic sound quality issues

Hi guys,
I understand probably it's too much early to discuss this topic but anyway I try to ask.
In order to the release of the new model (yesterday's event in USA)of the classic, anybody has any news about the sound quality complaints arised in the previous months?
I mean, anybody knows if the quality sound problems, due to the change of the sound micro-chip, have been solved in the new modelMany thanks in advance for the help.

Excellent question, the answer to which I eagerly await. If the sound quality improves, I might purchase a 120GB, otherwise, there are now alternatives by competitors with 120GB capacity, similar form factors, built in FM radio, subscription music services, and wireless sync of the music library for the same price as Apple's 120GB. They don't have the sound stage issue as the 160GB Classic. There is even a 240GB model being offered by a competitor.
Too bad Apple didn't release a 240GB Ipod classic. Toshiba, Apple's hard drive manufacturer, announced a 240GB 1.8" drive on 9/9, coincident with the Apple Ipod announcements. I have a large and growing library of classical recordings as I explore the classical catalog, as well as many Podcasts. I could really use the space! I've input this request on Apple's Ipod feedback page and suggest that any like minded customers do the same.
