Trying to install older mac game on new imac\

As a preface, I am new to the mac world. Just bought my first mac a month ago.
I recently bought a game that is supposed to be specifically for running on a mac, but it's an older game. My system meets all of the minimum requirements printed on the game box, but when I loaded the cd into the computer and tried to start the application, I got a message saying the game wasn't supported by my system. How can I get the game to work? Is it different with macs that you can't run older versions of programs on newer operating systems? On a pc you can run older programs on xp and vista. Any help is appreciated.
imac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

You might be able to run the game with SheepShaver, if it really is a game that needs Classic. See if you can find a non-Intel Mac to try the game, to see if it does work with Classic. SheepShaver is not trivial to inyall, so you don't want to bother if the game doesn't work with Classic. See:

My older mac book pro and iMac are both running 10.6.8 and both have started running safari and email VERY slowly. My new mac book pro running 10.9 is having no issues. Is anyone else experiencing these issues?

No noticeable speed differences running the four latest OSs on my machine.

Migration Assistant and best cables to trans. info from a Mac G4 to new iMac?

Baest Cables to use with Migration Assistant from a Mac G4 to new imac?

No you can not use a direct USB to USB connection. You can however use a USB External Hard Drive and copy your music, photos and other files from the G4 to the External Hard Drive, then from the External Hard Drive to the new iMac.
The best option is FireWire, followed by using an External Hard Drive, then an Ethernet connection to migration from the G4.

Migrating from older macs to a new powerbook G4

I've got one of the new powerbooks ordered and on the way, and I'm very excited about it -- improved resolution, all that screen space, tons of RAM, 1.67 mghz -- YAHOO.
But I'm also dreading the moving part. Right now I've got a desktop G4 desktop imac and a G4 ibook as well. I'll be selling both of these, after everything has been transferred off of them onto the new machine.
Does anybody know of a to-do list for this kind of migration? Fonts, keychains, preferences, not to mention applications and documents... I'm worried I'm going to do something in the wrong order or forget something.
Any hints or links much appreciated.

All new Macs sold include the Migration Assistant, which can transfer over most of your data from an older Mac to a newer Mac. If the fonts aren't transferred over automatically, you can put either machine in FireWire Target Disk mode by holding down the T key at startup, and then drag them to the folder /Library/Fonts/ on the PowerBook's hard disk to migrate them.

How do I transfer photos from my older MacBookAir to my new iMac?

How do I transfer photos from my older MacbookAir to my new iMac?

Copy them to an external hard drive or flash drive. Then restore them from the external drive to the new computer.
Or if you use Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant they will be transferred along with everything else in your Home folder.
Connect the two to your local network, enable File Sharing, copy the files over the network. You may need to do this in order to use Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant.

How do I copy my old xl files from my XP machine to operate on xl for Mac on my new iMac. When I copy them onto a stick and transfer them it automatically makes them xls files which are then corrupted when I try to open them in xl for mac

How do I copy my old xl files from my XP machine to operate on xl for Mac on my new iMac. When I copy them onto a stick and transfer them it automatically makes them xls files which are then corrupted when I try to open them in xl for mac

Sorry, yes this is Microsoft Excel. The Microsoft XP has Excel files denoted as xl, the later versions of Microsoft Excel are denoted as xls files. The later verions of Microsoft Excel open the xl files OK, does Excel for Mac not able to do this?

Migration Assistant (Finder > Applications > Utilities > Migration Assistant) is the tool that you would use to restore backups from older Macs to another Mac.
Details are here: http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html The same info applies for Mavericks and Yosemite. If you are saying that this is a "no go".....where are you getting stuck? What error messages do you see?

I've Just migrated my mac to a new iMac and CS5 is dead

I've Just migrated my mac to a new iMac and CS5 is dead, I can't uninstall it or do anything with it. When I try to load an application it just crashes (I'm guessing because it needs registering on my new machine) and I can't uninstall it.
I've been using CS5 for the past three years, and contemplating getting Creative Cloud. The problem is, it looks like I didn't every properly register CS5 with my Adobe ID, the software package was a download from a thrid party seller, and the email account the sent all the registration info to is no longer in use. . .
When I try to use Application Manager to uninstall it just tells me I need application manager and gives me a link to Adobe's website to download it. I download it, install it, try again, same result, tells me I need to download it. . .
Frustrating.
Any help greatly appreciated, I'm currently completely stuck!

Reinstall properly.

Generally Mugration Assistant will suffice importing all Data ito a new user, but you can manually import it...

(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)

Use older 2008 iMac as second monitor for new iMac

Hi all,
I have one of these older machines that has no real purpose
http://support.apple.com/kb/sp485
but would serve me very well as a second monitor for my brand spanking new iMac.
The specs seem to note that there is a video output - but I'm not seeing anything about video IN.
Is it possible to use this older iMac as a monitor?

that looks cool, and there is a free trial.
I am not keen on using the WiFi to do this - my old iMac has firewire but the new one doesn't.
Besides using the ludicrously expensive Thunderbolt <-> Firewire 800 convertor
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MD464ZM/A/thunderbolt-to-firewire-adapter
is there any other way to create a wired connection between these devices? I'm not sure if there is such a thing as a USB <-> USB network connection.

How can I import photo's from an older iPod to my new iMac ? I can do "import" in iPhoto, but the system does not "see" my iPod, even if it is connected to the iMac

I bought a new iMac. All photo's from the old iMac are on my iPod. The old iMac had a problem, due to which I could not transfer photo's. So I am trying to import the photo's from my iPod to my new iMac. But this does not work. The new iMac suggests to replace the content of the iPod with the content of the iMac, but I want to do just the reverse. When the iPod is connected to the iMac, the iMac seems to ignore the iPod. Probably because the iPod was first used on the old iMac ?

Photos on the iPod are not stored in standard formats, but in formats that are optimised for the space annd screen size of the device. So, unless you have specifically chosen to save full size images on the iPod - and have set up disk access for the job - then it's not going to work.
There are apps that will recover photos from iPods. Have a search on MacUpdate
But the best solution is to get the pics from your old Mac somehow.

Multiple monitors on new iMacs?

Hi all,
I have had the same 2003 iMac for the past 10 and a bit years and I'm finally in a position to afford an upgrade. I'll be getting one of the new iMac models shortly.
I also have two 'spare' non-Apple monitors that my ex-flatmate left me with a year ago and has finally admitted he's not coming back for and I can have them. I'd really like to be able to connect these either side of my new iMac and have a three monitor setup. But I'm afraid I don't understand thunderbolt at all and after a bit of research into multi monitor setups on Macs I'm even more confused.
The monitors are a Samsung and a HP in good condition, both have DVI and VGA connections. Will I be able to connect both of these to a new iMac? I assume I'll need some extra cables or adaptors, but I'm not sure what to get.
Thanks for any help!

Regarding the Bug in 10.9.3:
One of my colleagues (Wjosten) has suggested:
"If you use Internet Recovery to reinstall OS X, it installs the version of OS X that originally came with your computer."
So if this is a deal-breaker, the suggestion is to invoke Recovery_HD and use it to Re-Install [the old version of] Mac OS X over the Internet. Once complete, very selectively search for the individual updates that take you back to the last working version.

Is it possible to connect 2 Samsung monitors to an imac 27"

Is it possible to connect 2 Samsung monitors with a resolution of 1920x1080 to a new imac 27" with two thunderbolt connectors (per mini displayport to dvi or mdp to hdmi cable)? So that there is the full resolution on all three (Mac + two Samsung) monitors? And if its possible what do I need to do so?
Thanks for the help

I have no ThunderBolt iMac (mine is a 2009) nor one or two of these Samsung Displays.
So I can't say or guarantee that the combination will work.
Some displays simply don't work with Macs for no apparent reason.
Best would be to take your MacBook Pro into the store where you want to buy the Samsung displays and ask for a test.

HT4796 Transfer files from older mac mini to new macbook pro: incompatible ports

I have an older Mac Mini with only USB ports. I just bought a MacBook Pro with thunderbolt and USB 3 ports. I need to transfer my data to my new MacBook Pro using the Migration Assistant but the direct connection ports are not compatible. How can I do this?

Use FireWire, Ethernet, or wireless. The first two can be adapted to a Thunderbolt port.
