Do Video Game Install Discs Work?
Before i start using Boot Camp and begin a Windows partion, i had a question.
The main reason why i was going to use Boot Camp to run Windows was so that i could use games such as Call of Duty 4. Since there are not versions made for Mac, would they install on the Mac through Windows? I guess my main concern is that i know Mac software runs as MacDVD install discs, and Windows use CD-ROM discs. So i didnt know if the cd drive would load a game such as Call of Duty 4 since im using a Mac. My questions are:
Will the CD-ROM video game install discs load onto Boot Camp?
Will I be able to play Windows games that are installed through a CD work?
Hi.
Yes - you will be able to play all windows games. Boot Camp is not an emulator: After the windows installation you have a 100% PC.
Btw.: If you have an iMac, you might consider getting the current driver from ATI: http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html (choose the Apple Boot Camp driver from the menu)

Will Install discs work on both imacs?
Hi i have two intel 20" imacs (both core 2 duo 2.16ghz with model identifier iMac5,1) that were bought about 1 month apart but i only have the install discs for one of them - i don't actually need to do a clean install yet but i was wondering if the install discs would work on both machines.. the numbers that are on the disc don't seem to correspond to any numbers on the machine they came with.
Both machines have the same SMC version number but the boot ROM version number is out by one digit at the end (i don't even know if these numbers are relevant to the install discs!) could someone possibly help? I'm just trying to avoid having to pay for new discs if there's a chance these ones would work on the other machine.
thanks.Hello,
The discs should be functional on both computers.
If you would like to test, you can try to boot the computers from the discs to see if you can. If the discs are the wrong versions they will give you an error explaining as much. -
DVD's and game install discs not working on Windows 8 bootcamp.
I have installed Windows 8 on bootcamp and whenever I insert a disk into the computer, windows 8 doesn't seem to pick it up. I've installed Windows 8 just as all the tutorials have said, and I've downloaded all the drivers onto Windows 8. How can I fix this problem?
Windows 8 is not supported on Boot Camp. Install Windows 7 instead.

MB Pro, with Tiger, which has since upgraded to Leopard - Install Discs?
My MacBook Pro had originally been installed with Tiger. I have since upgraded to Leopard.
Should I need to boot from my install discs, which install disc do I use? Will my Tiger install discs work with Leopard, or should I use my Leopard disc (retail version)?
Thank you!{quote:title=Kappy wrote:}
Actually you would be better to install Leopard directly. You can reinstall pre-bundled software separately without installing Tiger. An Erase and Install of Leopard would be preferable to installing Tiger then upgrading to Leopard. Less chance of a problem.
Hi Kappy,
Some, at least, of the late 2007 MBP C2D 2.2 and 2.4 GHz MBPs (mine included) actually came with Tiger Installed, but with a "drop in" copy of Leopard enclosed in the box. From memory the version of Leopard included will only install if the original software is in place. (I'm not 100% certain of this, but I'll check) Not sure what Trisha's situation is, of course, but worth bearing in mind as a possible issue.
Cheers

Why did apple stop supporting disc installed video games in their macs
I was wondering why did apple support disc installed games like spore on older macs but they wont install on the newer macs. This is really bothering me because i like disc installed videos games they are safer and you have to purchase them in order to play them unless you have a crack. Now apple is saying that discs are obsolete when really they aren't.
These are user-to-user forums where everyday folk (volunteers) post questions and offer answers (technical support) to each other.None of us users take part in any of Apple's decisions and/or why they do the things that do. Your best bet would be to post your concerns over on the Product Feedback website.

Some Videos and Games Do Not Work, Mac Snow Leopard
This is a problem I have actually had for a while, but it never really affected much that I considered important. Now it is just getting annoying.
Basically, certain video players and online games do not work. Most video players outside of YouTube will not work. The player will load, but the video never does. For example, the most recent video I have had trouble with is the Nickelodeon video player for The Legend of Korra. When I try to watch that, I get a black box, and a “Loading” type image pops up, swirls around once, and then disappears. After that, the whole thing becomes unresponsive. This is typical of many, but not all, video players I have encountered on the web.
I am not sure if it is related, but I have also had trouble with various games. Often time, they will work fine until reaching some transition point, such as the end of a level, and then they will become unresponsive. A good example here is the game Bloons Tower Defense 4. This is a game I know was responsive on my older system. But now, when it loads the level, it freezes up before loading the available towers to place and becomes otherwise unresponsive.An example is shown below. The top-left question mark box in the right-hand sidebar should reveal a dart monkey, and my starting money should be filled, but instead the game hangs up. I have had similar hang-ups on a number of games, so I am certain the problem is not just with this game.
As I said, I have had this problem for a while now. I have upgraded both Flash and my browsers a number of times since they started. I have these problems in all my browsers (Safari, Opera, Camino, Firefox), so it seems to be a problem with Flash. I have also tried uninstalling and re-installing flash and disabling all other browser plug-ins.
I am using a MacBook Pro with Macintosh OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5, with Flash 11.2.202.233. Current Browsers: Firefox 11.0, Opera 11.61, Camino 2.1.2, Safari 5.1.5
Any ideas what I could be overlooking?Hey, it is getting them to work. Although I still have the “URL Not Found” error on BTD, and I get a whole different debugger error on Korra. But none of the errors prevent the associated items from working. Hopefully this will work in the other places I have had trouble with.
Anyway, the new error for Korra was:

EMac software install discs on iMac, will it work right?
Hello, I've a couple of G3 iMacs that I've installed OS 10.3.3 on. The discs used are for eMacs (2 sets of discs) they came with universal installers. What I'm wondering is, is the build of OS 10.3.3 specifically for the eMac and the G4 processor or should they work fine with my G3 iMacs? I'ved had issues with older pre os x learning games for kids on these iMacs and am wondering if this could be the problem. I did not install the additional software and apps on disc 2 of the eMac software restore discs, but did use the OS 9.2.2 classic support install disc from my G5 iMac to install classic support on to the G3 iMacs. It sounds like maybe I've left myself plenty of room for problems to arise.
Hope you all can help clear this up for this computer late starter.
Thank You!

Installed Premiere Pro CS4 but video display does not work?
I just got my copy of CS$. After installing Premiere I found two things that seem very wrong:
1) video display does not work, not even the little playback viewer next to improted film clips located on the project / sequence window. Audio works fine.
2) the UI is way too slow for my big beefy system.
My pc is a dual boot Vista-32 and XP system with 4GB of memory installed and nvidia geforce 280 graphics board with plenty of GPU power. The CS4 is installed on the Vista-32 partition. My windows XP partition on the same PC with Premiere CS2 works great and real fast.
Any ideas how to solve this CS4 install issue?
RonI would like to thank Dan, Hunt, and Haram:
The problem is now very clear to me. The problem only shows up with video footage imported into PP CS4 encoded with "MS Video 1" codec. So this seems to be a bug. The codec is very clearly called out and supported within various menues but video with this codec just will not play in any monitor or preview window. In addition the entire product looks horrible with respect to performance while PP CS4 trys its best to play the video. Audio will start playing after about 30 seconds. And once in awhile part of video shows up at the wrong magnification before blanking out again.
My suggestion to the Adobe team: fix the bug and add some sample footage to the next release so new installations can test their systems with known footage.

Google talk audio/video plugin used to work fine on Firefox 3, but does not work anymore on Firefox 4. Every time I click on the video chat icon on google talk, I am asked to install the plugin, even if I have already installed it before. The plugin works properly on the latest version of IE on the same PC.
Thanks for your help. I do not want to switch to Chrome or Opera, but if this bug is not fixed, I will have to.Not sure if installing IE 9 did it or not but I now see the camera in IE, FF and Chrome. Could be Facebook fixed the problem also.
Thanks for the reply.

Windows 7 only works when install disc is in the drive
Background:
Macbook Pro 7,1 (13 inch, bought in early 2011)
Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
Boot Camp Assistant 3.0.4 on Mac
Boot Camp 3.3 on Windows 7
Windows 7 is burned to a DVD. It was downloaded as an ISO through my school's Academic Alliance with Microsoft (a.k.a MSDNAA - Microsoft Development Network Academic Alliance).
Story:
I've been trying to get Boot Camp to put Windows 7 on my Mac for some time now. I've followed the manual/guides for my computer, which in short followed these steps:
Partition drive
Insert Windows 7 disc
Start installation
Install Windows
Download and install Windows updates
Insert OS X install disc
Install Boot Camp
Upgrade Boot Camp to 3.3
That all seems to work well and fine, but sometimes I would have problems where upon restarting I would have to hold the Option key to choose to load Windows, instead of Mac OS - that's fine. I would see the Windows drive and chose it, but then it would always freeze. Eventually I tried leaving the Windows 7 install disc in the disc drive and when I held the Option key I would see the Windows Install disc as an option to boot as well. I tried booting with that chosen, and everything would work fine. That's how I was able to do steps 5-8 in my above list (because whenever my computer had to restarted, I had to choose the Windows Install disc).
Now, with everything installed and updated, and with no disc in the disc drive, I started up my Mac and choose to boot Windows, but it freezes within 10-30 seconds of logging in (just like before). However, with the Windows 7 install disc inserted, and choosing to boot through it, it works. This doesn't seem right.
Anyone have any idea what's going on and how I might resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance; and let me know if I can provide any more information for you.bought in early 2011
Those Macs do better wtih Lion drivers. Even if you install Lion not on internal drive but elsewhere.
A lot/most burned ISO like yours can even install but are bugged with problems if you didn't also do the burn at the slowest burn speed. Which sounds likely.
Last two: Windows partition was too small and doesn't have the free space for all the updates.
Finallhy, test RAM with memtest either Windows DVD which is a good way really, or from Terminial in OS X (where you can run dozens of little concurrent memtest windows and make short work even doing 5 loops x 256MB memory at once) -
I dont get sound for videos, games and music but ringtone still works. When i press volume buttons on side of phone i only get the picture of the nell and no little dots underneath. This is on my iphone 4s and ipad. It happened at the same time.
Recurring theme with the 4s losing alerts except for the phone ringing. Most complaints seem to center on the 7.1 upgrade. The fix is dodgy, putting in a charger, playing a you tube video then pulling out the charger and wiggling it until you get the sound back. When you get the sound back, the volume buttons start to work again. Alternate solutions involve cleaning the docking port with a toothbrush, running a pick over the electrodes etc.

unable to play video on www.iranibash.com, it says that MS Silverlight is not installed. But it is installed and works with IE9. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin but it still says it's not installed in Firefox 5. When I try to install it, it says installation failed.
Forgot to mention that it won't play Netflix either.

I just got the Quad G5 and the install discs to install bundled software doesn't work. I put it in and it says that the packaged is broken and can't install. I bought the computer from Macmall should they give me a new install disc or should i contact apple?
Your kernel panic is most likely the result of an older version of OS 10.4.x. on the Apple Care cd. It appears the new dual-core will only boot up from 10.4.3 or later.

Can I restore my system from install discs when DVD drive is not working?
Can I restore my system from install discs when the DVD drive in my iMac G5 is not working?
There is a disc jammed in the drive and when I try to do an install in Target Firewire mode using a G5 Tower I get an error saying the software cannot be installed on this machine, before I can even select the iMac's drive. I'm using the grey software install discs that came with the iMac.
Is my only option to open up the iMac and get the jammed disc out?
ThanksYou need to set up the FireWire Target Disk mode installation with the iMac as host, so that it runs its own install disk. The G5 tower should be the target, so that you are "borrowing" only its DVD drive.
Shut down the iMac. Put the iMac install disk into the G5 tower, and reboot the G5 tower into TDM by holding down the T key. Connect the FireWire cable and then restart the iMac while holding down the option key. Hopefully the iMac startup manager will see the install disk that is in the tower; if so then select it and boot from there.
