Having trouble dowloading Origin on my mac.

Hey guys,
So today I purchased the sims 3 online for direct download, it asked me to download origin before I could download the actual game.
Origin downloads but it goes to the "Textedit" program and it shows a bunch of symbols and it says This program cannot be run in DOS mode.
I dont know what else to do to download the game.. =/ help please!!

I actually just found a link from the origin store that they no longer have games for mac.. It would be great if instead of a costumer having to google a billion questions they said this before a product is purchased.. but anyway thanks for your time I will place an email for a refund..

    I finally figured it out.  Needed to update her Airport firmware and allow guest access, and also changed Sharing preferences to Allow Access for All Users.

  • I'm having trouble connecting Brother DCP197c to Mac Mini - it worked before Yosemite

    I'm having trouble connecting Brother DCP197c to Mac Mini - it worked before Yosemite.
    I have downloaded drivers from Brother
    I have tried searching for the printer once the drivers have been installed, but nothing...
    Not sure what else to do - any helpful suggestions are welcome.
    Thank you

    I tried the Reset Printer option - it didn't work at first but then I decided to download the drivers again... and now all is fine and dandy.
    Thanks for your help

  • Having trouble with the messages on mac my friends using it are coming not registered when i try to send them a message

    having trouble with the messages on mac my friends using it are coming not registered when i try to send them a message

    That's probably because they're not registered.
    Messages only works if your friend has an iphone.
    There is a workaround that can work, though.
    set up an AIM account online.
    in System preferences > mail, contacts, and calendars, enter your new AIM account.
    in Contacts, on your friend's contact card, look for AIM. Enter their phone number right before that, with a +1 before it, and the area code:  i.e., +11234567899.
    This doesn't always work. Their cellular carrier has to cooperate with AIM. Some do, some don't. If it doesn't work, tell your friend to get an iPhone.

  • I am having trouble transferring photos from my mac to my iphone5 and ipad.  any suggestions?

    I am having trouble copying photos on my mac to my iphone5 and ipad.  In itunes I check sync photos from iphoto and then check selected albums, events, etc.  I then "sync" and the photos have not been put on my iphone or ipad.  suggestions?

    What trouble? Are you using a PC or a Mac?
    You should read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

  • Hi I am having trouble with iMessage on the mac book pro, it doesnt sync with the ipad and iPhone, both the ipad and iPhone do but not on the mac book pro , has anyone any suggestions, thanks in advance

    Hi I am having trouble with iMessage on the mac book pro, it doesnt sync with the ipad and iPhone, both the ipad and iPhone do but not on the mac book pro , has anyone any suggestions, thanks in advance

    First, make sure that all your devices are using the same Apple ID in iMessages including your Mac.  Second, your messages that you've already started on your devices will not show up on your Mac - only ones that you start from now on will show up.  Third, if you're still not syncing accross all devices, make sure you read the directions on the first page of this thread.  It should work after performing those steps.  Good luck!

  • HT204053 I am having trouble setting up icloud on MAC. In system preference it is listed as mobile me, it asks for member name and password. It also has a learn more button under "try mobileme for free". I am not getting anywhere

    I am having trouble setting up icloud on MAC. In system preference it is listed as mobile me, it asks for member name and password. It also has a learn more button under "try mobileme for free". I am not getting anywhere

    It's evident that you are using Snow Leopard or earlier (or very early Lion) since you have the now obsolete MobileMe preference pane.
    The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
    To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
      and the supported models are:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
      You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
      If you are running Leopard on an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to access the Mac App Store - it's available in the online Apple Store. However if you have a PPC Mac you cannot run Snow Leopard and cannot proceed further.

  • Having trouble installing Photoshop & Illustrator on Mac OSX 10.7.4

    Hello Im having trouble installing Photoshop CS6 and Illustator CS6. I am geting the following errow while trying to install in Creative Cloud Download Manager:

    What should I do? I've installed them before, but uninstalled them both. Now I am getting the following error. Thanks! Any help will be appreciated.

    It is difficult to determine the point of failure from your install log summary.  I would recommend reviewing the install logs in their entirety to locate the exact error.  You can find details on how to accompplish this at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

  • I am still having trouble using my 551L with Mac OS X. Any Advice?

    For a little while I was able to get it to work by Unplugging everything else from the 4 USB Ports on my Mid Year 2010 Mac Mini (the $699.99 Model at the time, NOT the $999.99 Model at the time), but it has now Stopped working again. I do have access to Apple Mac USB Diagnostic Tools, as I am in the Paid Apple Developer Programs (the $99 a year Memberships at http://developer.apple.com/ by the way) and I will Download and Run the Tool if Necessary. I was just wondering if anyone else here is having the same problem as me, and I have actually talked with Verizon (on the Phone) about this issue once before, by the way. TIA.

        Hi there Kev815pan!
    I can only imagine how tedious this has been for you.  I use my usb modem all of the time and I want yours to work just as easy as mine!
    I triple checked my resources and I found that having the most current Apple OS as well as the most current version of VZ Access Manager by visiting www.vzam.net.
    Please advise if these steps have helped!

  • HT1338 I am having trouble installing updates on my mac this is the error code the pops upThe update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that

    can some one help me? I have been trying to update my MAC and it will not download because this message come up
    (The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs.)

    For anyone that comes across this. I managed to fix the problem. It had something to do with the date on my computer. Mavericks installer apparently does a date check of some sort and that is where the error is coming from. Open terminal and check the system date. It may be wrong. Another poster in the forums told me how to to check the date and change it. Click here for the link to the explanation. Be careful because the date is in a weird format.

  • Having trouble getting Microsoft Office for Mac 2008 to run.

    I recently upgraded my iMac to ML, but since then I've had difficulty getting the app to run.  It would give me an error message and an error log.  Then I created a new user profile to see if it'll run there (under system prefs, then under users &amp; groups).  Well, it did run.  It opened just fine under the new user profile.  So it can't be a problem with the new OS.  So what is it with my primary user profile?  What is keeping Office from running in one user profile and not another?

    I am assuming that you are attempting to download a copy of Microsoft Office directly from the Microsoft Store ... correct? If so, you cannot use the product key from the CD as this key is specifically used for the software on that CD. You would need to acquire a new product key as you would need to purchase another copy of Office for your MacBook Air.
    The Mac version can be found here.

  • Having trouble accessing AOL through the mac mail program

    Accessing mail from AOL through the Mac mail applicantion has never been a problem.  Now all of a sudden it is.  Software is up to date, tried working with Apple personnel, no luck.  Any suggestions?

    When you're in mail, if you click on window, and connection doctor, what does it tell you about your AOL account? If it's a green light status, your Apple mail is able to sign into AOL without issue. If it's red, and you double click on it, it should take you to the part of your profile that needs fixing.
