How do I download a video game?

I am brand new to apple products, and just got this mac. When I put in an old video game, and clicked on the disc icon, nothing started up. I am used to the PC just starting the downloading process for me.
Please help me, what do I do?
Thank you,

It does sound like it's only a Windows version. You have a couple of options - either buy a Mac version (and you should check the system requirements carefully, since the original Sims was released in 2000 and may not run on either 10.5 or an Intel Mac - you might want to look into Sims 2 or 3), or install Windows on your Mac as an alternative system using the built-in Boot Camp. (This would mean purchasing a retail copy of Windows XP SP2, which you can usually find on eBay for around $70).

  • I tried to download video from RCA Small Wonder EZ201 to my new macbook pro.  Macbook pro recognizes the device but then message appears that device was improperly ejected when it is still connected. How can I download these videos?

    When I connect the RCA Small Wonder to my MacBook Pro, the device is recognized in finder as EZ201.  I tried to copy the video files in the folder but within a minute or two, I receive a message that the disk was ejected improperly, even though the device is still connected.  I was able to download the first few videos before it stopped working and was able to play them using Perian.  However, when I tried to connect the device again, it froze my system and I had to force a shut down by turning the computer off. Why is the device initially recongized but then shows as improperly ejected when it is still connected? How can I download the videos if the MacBook Pro won't allow the device to stay connected?

    A picture of a screen that suggests my new MBP Retina never connects to the "Macbook Pro backup ("StefanTimeCapsule")
    This is the one that has the files for the backups procured by the Time Machine program. But it can't "connect"-- You 'll see int he sideways pic (sorry!) that the options STILL says "connecting"
    Do i have to make these Time Machines more open to connection?

    There are a variety of file formats for storing and sending video. You will probably want to install VLC, which handles most open formats. RealPlayer is used on their proprietary format.

    Your media is stored in Final Cut Events folder > "name of event"  > original media. The Final Cut Events folder is in your movies folder or at the root level of an external drive if you are using one to store your media. Simply open iMovie and under file menu select import movies. Navigate to the original media folder and import your clips to Imovie event library.

  • How can I download a video that I have stopped

    I have stopped a video download accidentally by pushing the stop button in iTunes
    The problem is that I can't continue the download now. There is no download area
    Available in the store anymore. In the video area is a grey monitorsymbol next to the
    Name of the video instead of the thumbnail. When I press it to watch the video I can
    Only stream it. How can I download the video like the other ones? Thanx for helping. :)

    See: iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
    Have you tried to download the movie on your computer and sync it to your device, since there is no download area in the store on your device?

    How do I download movies/videos on my iPad 2

    the movies need to be sync'd through itunes like "templeton peck" said. so if you have movies in itunes it is as simple as going to your device there is a section there that says "movies", and you just "check" the ones you want on your ipad and when done just hit the "apply" button and they will be added to your ipad. i would suggest that you sync movies via the wired method as compared to wireless syncing. wireless syncing a movie will take a lot longer than a wired sync.
    if you don't have any movies in itunes but do have them on your computer all you need to do is drag and drop them into the "movies" section in itunes. and then follow the instructions i gave.
    if you don't have any movies on your computer you need to convert them, and unfortunately discussing how to break the encryption that comes on commercial dvd's is prohibited here. but there is a plethora of advice and websites on the web and all you need to do is google it.
    most of the blu ray dvd's these days also come with a "digital copy" of the movie. if you have a "digital copy" just insert the digital copy into your computer and enter in the "digital copy code" and you can choose to download it to itunes or window media player, you obviously want to choose itunes.
    i would also stay away from movies that have digital copies advertised as "ultraviolet digital copy". this is a brand new and it doesn't play well with itunes and you cant play it on your ipad unless you go through "their" app. it's a real pain... right now only a few titles are "ultraviolet" they are "horrible bosses", "green lantern", and the soon to be released "harry potter and the deathly hallows part 2" (11/11/11).
    you can also just buy the movies from itunes. that is what i did on the "ultraviolet" dvd's i wanted to watch on my ipad.

    I have a few videos in shared content...unfortunately not locally...not in icloud..how can I download those videos into my ipad

    Those are the videos I have taken using my iPad
    Then later posted from my iPad
    they are now visible in "shared"
    later I think I cleared the iCloud backup
    Now they are not in iPad(local) and they are not in iCloud(remote)
    bvut I can see those videos in "shared"

    when you clock on "photos" you will see three things at the bottom of the screen
    "Photos" "shared" "Albums"
    My videos are in "shared" I want to down load them locally into my iPad
    Hope this explains...
    many thanks

  • How can i download a video to my iPad from an email?

    How can I download a video to my iPad from an email?

    Depending on what format the video is in (and therefore whether it's supported either natively or via an app that you've got on the iPad), then you might be able to :
    Open an attached file     Touch and hold the attachment, then choose an app to open it. If none of your apps support the dile, and it isn't one that QuickLook supports, you can see the name of te file but you can't open it.
    Save an attached photo or video    Touch and hold the photo or video, then tap Save Image or Video. The item is saved to your Camera Roll album in the Photos app.

  • When I connect my digital camera to my iPad it will only download the stills, not the videos. How can I download the videos? I have the USB and HDMI connectors for the iPad.

    When I connect my Leica digital camera to my iPad it will only download the photos not the videos. How can I download the videos anyone please?

    If your camera has an SD memory card, use the camera connection kit & the SD card to download to the iPad. That's what I do.
    Another way that will work. Download the video(s) to your computer. Then you can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    First, Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie file into the folder. The movie file must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie file should appear & you can import.

    You would be incorrect on that.  
    Commercial music videos are not to be downloaded, nor is there any difference between that and illegal torrent downloading of copyrighted material.
    Such actions pertaining to commercial copyrighted videos / music videos (lots on youtube) is not legal.
    Any distribution of videos, music or text without the express permission of the copyright-holder is copyright infringement
    regardless of all of that, Google/Youtube clearly notes that its against their policy to allow same from their site on such materials (not all, but most of it there).
    most such videos are not free and "open public domain" materials
