How can I make my cd-roms work with osx 10.4.9?

We bought a new mac, but my kids cd-roms -- which we just bought in December -- don't work with it. They say they're Macintosh compatible, but I suspect they just don't work with this new system.
Is there a driver or some other update I can download to make these games work?
Thanks for your help -
S.
PS: I don't know if it matters, but the games are from Disney (Cinderella's Dollhouse and Magical Dress-Up) and Vivendi Universal (Barbie Swan Lake & Barbie Fashion Show).

Hi again,
The games are copyrighted 2001, 2002, 2003 & 2004; I just bought them in December.
This is a classic case of: had an old computer, the new CD-roms were too advanced & wouldn't work. So I bought a new computer, and now the games are not advanced enough!
Although the other posted said I probably had to run them in "classic" - that's not something I should really do, right? Or is it ok to switch my OS back & forth?
When I first realized my problem & went back to the store, they suggested I look for a patch of some sort, that would upgrade these games. Is that realistic? I went to the mattel site & the vivendi site & didn't find anything that looked useful.
Finally, I do want to buy games for my kids. What sort of compatibility do I need to look for in the future? Is there really no way for us to use these games now?
Thanks for your help (and patience, since it takes me so long to get back to these forums

How can I make the FN buttons work with an older notebook?

Hi,
I have the Satellite 5200-902 notebook. Unfortunately there is no support for such an "old" notebook like this concerning Windows Vista. Vista runs great on it but the only thing I didn´t make is to make to FN buttons work in Vista.
Can someone please give me an advice ?
Thanks

Hello Danny
Unfortunately I do not believe you will have success with those buttons. The fact is that Toshiba use self designed utility for functionality of all FN buttons. As you know, old notebook models are not vista supported and you will not be able to find and install any utility for that.
Sorry but there is nothing to do.

How can I make my Altec Lansing work with my iMac?

Good day to all,
I have an intel-based iMac (24" model Core 2 Duo) and I have an Altec Lansing VS4121 speaker with subwoofer. It was originally on my brother's PC but since he left for abroad I decided to hook it up on my iMac. Thing is, I can't seem to make it work. I plugged the two speakers to the subwoofer and plugged the included phone jack to both ends (subwoofer and iMac's speaker jack) but it doesn't show me an option via System Preferences of an external speaker to choose.
If anyone can help it's greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Note: I also own an M-AUDIO Fast Track Pro USB Preamp if that helps.

Well, I got them to work finally. Plugged the jack into the headphone jack and now my external speakers are working.

How can I make a .gif file work in Keynote on my iPad Mini?

How can I make a .gif file work in Keynote on my iPad Mini?
Have saved a .gif file to my Camera Roll, and it works fine as I have checked it through mail. When I import it into Keynote however it won't animate. Even when I play slide. Any suggestions?

The can use apps such as Apple's Pages app for Word documents and Numbers for Excel spreadsheets, and from third-parties apps such as Documents To Go ('premium' version) and QuickOffice Pro HD.

I have a new iPhone 5C, have the sounds alerts set up. But I'm not getting sound alerts for new voicemail, only the red circle on the screen. How can I make the sound alert work?

I have had this same problem for weeks now with my 4S. I just got a new 5S after being extremely frustrated and the same thing - no sounds. After searching posts all over, I couldn't find a solution. I just told my friend of the issue and he asked "Do you have the Do Not Distrub on?" I didn't even know such a function existed. Upon looking that was exactly the issue.
To resolve, go to Settings> Do Not Disturb> Manual. If it is green, turn it off. You will now get phone calls and text alerts.
This functionality is also on your quick access utility menu (slide up menu). I assume this is how it was enabled on my phone.
I will post on other sites since I searched for weeks for this solution and didn't see it anywhere. Good luck!

A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

how can i make my logitech C920 work as my default?

i just figured the problem and has nothing to do with changing those integers. in the audio MIDI setting (app in utilities folder) for the c920 make sure the format is set to 24000hz, and it will finally work. if its set to 16000hz or 32000hz it wont work. i actually went backand put the integer settings to its original settings. 24integer for mac and 16 for c920.

How do I make my iPod classic work with iTunes 9.1

How do I make my iPod classic work with iTunes 9.1?

You are correct in some of your assertions, Limnos but, if I were to follow Apple's wishes, I would have to purchase the latest and greatest Apple product every month! I refuse to do that. I understand that my G4 is old but, it does what I need it to do. To answer your question though, I purchased the iPod classic as a refurbished unit, about 5 years ago and had it replaced three times, since then so, there is no way for me to know how old it is.
From my knowledge of how the Classics work(which is extensive.) It is basically a hard disk. There should be of performing a low level format, plug it back in and the G4 should recognize the ROm and automatically search for the correct software associated with that version of iPod and load it but, Apple will most likely no longer carry the software on their servers anymore!(surprise,surprise.)

How can I get my iMac to work with scanners?

How can I get my iMac to work with scanners? The scanners scan just fine, but not to my iMac. I've tried Epson and HP all-in-ones; it makes no diffference. I'm becoming extremely displeased, but don't know at whom I should be displeased, the printer guys or Apple. Help?

My Epson is able to do scans using Image Capture without any problems at all.
