How can I make my PowerPC/Windows programs work in Mac OS X Lion?

In a few months I will be buying a MacBook Pro and I have a lot of old games that I would like to be able to play on it. But those games are Windows/PowerPC only and Mac OS X Lion does not support PowerPC. How can I make my old programs work in Mac OS X Lion?

For porting Windows programs to Mac OS X, you can check out Wineskin.  It can be very simple to very hard to do though... its all a case by case basis.  The older the game is the more likely you are to get it to work easily though.

    I've just installed creative cloud 64 bit windows.  How can I make bridge the default program to upload pictures rather than lightroom?

    Usually the default program associated with an image file extension is an image developing Program like Lightroom or an image editing program like Photoshop. If you want to change the default associated program to Adobe Bridge you would use Window's Controls Panel file association applet.

    How can I make Adobe Photoshop 5.0LE work on my new PC running Windows 8?

    Adobe Photoshop LE is too old. I do not think it will work in compatability mode. It was made circa 1998 before XP. It is time to pony up for new software. Adobe Photoshop Elements is inexpensive and provides a world of capabilities undreamt in 1998.

    How can I make the Calender window smaller?

    Yes. It's at the minimum size via that method, but is much too large.  I like to have it open always and in the previous OS the window was much smaller. Thanks for the suggestion nonetheless.

  • How can I make my player window bigger?

    Hi,
    I use Quicktime Pro with Flip4Mac when I watch previous tv programs from my home country. With my previous laptop running Windows you just had to double-click on the window and you got a big screen and you could adjust the size. How can I make this work on my Macbook?

    Choose options from the View menu as desired, or click on the window's title bar or the bottom right corner and drag them as desired.

  • How can I make sure under Windows 8 in Explorer to get a real pdf document content file miniature and not the Adobe logo miniature?

    This is not a typical Windows 8 problem, I had the same problem with all my previous Acrobat versions on all previous Windows versions.
    How can I make sure that when consulting pdf files via Windows explorer the pdf file is represented as a genuine miniature of the document content itself and noit just a document icon with Adobe logo?

    Hi Josialaers,
    Turn the 'Preview Pane' ON and you should be able to see the content of the pdf when clicked.
    When 'Show preview handlers in preview pane ON' is checked in 'Folder Options' of Windows Explorer.

  • How can I make an HTTP redirect in Apache on Mac?

    In IIS on Windows, I was making a redirect that when I went to localhost, it would go to localhost/IndigoUnlimited for my site. Now, I am using Apache, and to get to my site on my Mac, I need to type in localhost/~myuser. How can I make a redirect so when I go to localhost it will redirect me to localhost/~myuser?

    You'd do this by editing your hosts file. That's actually what was happening when using IIS to set up the redirect. It just had a fancy interface.
    A really nice link with in-depth walkthrough, explanation, AND video!

    And in panel 2, the content is added dynamically, so it cannot control the width. Once it is very long, then the UI will not show all the data in panel2, and panel 3 also cannot display.
    So i want to the window have a scroll bar. How can i do this?
    Thanks.

    Hi Timo.
    Thanks for your replies.
    I change the panel 2 like this:
    <af:gridRow marginTop="5px" height="auto" id="gr2">
                                  <af:gridCell marginStart="5px" marginEnd="5px"
                                               width="100%" halign="stretch"
                                               valign="stretch" id="gc2">
                                     <af:panelBox text="panel 2"
                                                  id="pb2">
    <af:panelGroupLayout id="pgl4" layout="scroll>
    </af:panelGroupLayout>
                                     </af:panelBox>
                                  </af:gridCell>
                               </af:gridRow>
    But it still cannot display a scroll bar for the panel 2.
    Thanks.

  • How can I make the login window's list longer?

    There are five of us in our family, but the login window only holds four names in Tiger. In Panther it held five, and now my youngest (whose name is alphabetically last) is disappointed because he has to scroll down to see his name.
    But there is plenty of screen real estate for a really long list! How can I have a longer list in the login window without scrolling?
    I posted this back when using Tiger, and hoped that Leopard would at least bring back the Panther days of 5 users in the list---if not a window that adjusted to the number of users. <Sigh>

    Yes, I've thought about making it fair that way. But then there are no more cute pictures, and we have to type more.
    I was also thinking about adding a character to the beginning of each long name. And then every once in a while changing the character that each family member has to change who is #5 on the list.
    Would changing the User Name cause problems?
    I thought of that but it's not a good idea. The repercussions might get messy. I don't know.
    This is not the short name, just the long one. The short user name can't be changed after creating the account.
    It can be changed but it's even more fraught with problems. If you right-click your user name in Accounts you have the option to change the short name - - but read the caveats carefully - and then perhaps don't do it.
    To get five, I could use the card suits and also a diamond.
    Next: An Applescript that randomly pre-fixes those symbols to each person's user name? Run the script each night or each time someone logs out. Hmm, System Preferences is scriptable.
    Again, I would not recommend name changes, esp. on a regular basis.
    If you use TimeMachine it might get confused.
    Your best bet is to send Apple an enhancement request for future OSs or even this one.
    I am sure that the OS can be hacked to do what you wish, but there are unintended consequences of each and every system hack - one of which is that updates expect certain things to be constant.
    One solution is to buy a second computer
    Even if you have 5 accounts on the login page, what if you gain a 6th?

  • How can I make sure time capsule is working?

    How can I check time capsule to make sure it is backing up?

    Suppose time capsule is working and I delete some pictures. Will I just need to remember what date I deleted pictures and just keep that date in mind to know pictures from a certain time only live on the time capsule?
    This is a very good way to lose your images. 
    Time Machine keeps track of the changes on your Mac. If you delete files on your Mac, Time Machine will "backup" that change....and at some point it will delete the files from the Time Capsule......you just don't know when this might occur.
    It might occur within the next day or so, or at some point in the future. You cannot predict this.
    But, even if the files stay on the Time Capsule for a few weeks......these are your only copies of your images. You have no backups in the event of a problem with the Time Capsule.

  • How can I make dragon dictate 2.5 work with Lion?

    DD 2.5 crashes and won't start even after re-installation.  Fixes?

    If you read the link from Nuance posted earlier to this thread, they don't appear to have a current software that is Lion compatible.  In the meantime, if you need voice activated commands, you can use the built-in Plaintalk support in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Speech, or wait until Nuance upgrades their products.  Sadly Nuance took over all the third party speech recognition software available for the Mac.  A third possibility, is to get Windows installed on your Mac to do any dictation, and copy that information over to the Mac operating system in the form of an e-mail, Word document or Acrobat document if downgrading is too much of a pain.    There are these options to install Windows on your Mac*:

    As always, check with software developers before upgrading to ensure compatibility, and always backup your data before upgrading*:

  • Windows Programs Working on Mac

    Is there any way that Windows programs can work on a Mac? Is there a good, free program that allows this to happen?

    There is one program that claims to do just that and that is *[_Crossover for Mac_|http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac>*. This however is not free and it cost $39.95. The only drawback is that it is not fully compatible with the latest Windows software. If you choose to explore this option then be sure to take a look at their compatibility list which is posted on their website.
    If you have some serious work to do within the Windows environment then I recommend either installing Windows on your intel mac or getting a Windows based PC.

  • How can I get read out loud to work on MAC for adobe reader?

    Having trouble getting the read out loud function to work on MAC.  It keeps says "BLANK" or "Warning Page Empty".  How can i get this resolved my the read out loud function to work properly?

    That depends.
    First, be sure the pdf isn't just scanned images. Can you select individual words with the select tool? If not, you would need to use a tool to run OCR before it can be read.
