How do I play windows game on my Mac without downloading windows on my mac?

I know this is probably impossible, but there are a few pieces of software I'd like to install but they are for PC only. I'd love to know how to install them on my Mac without having to get something like Parallels and downloading Windows on my Mac. Is there any kind of software that can "convert" it or anything?

You don't.
Sure there are a few games that will run sort of something using Codeweavers, but for the most part you need Windows completely and for performance, in BootCamp.
Running Windows in virtual machine software is about 1/5th the performance of direct boot into BootCamp. But for most other apps that are not power hungrey, it's good enough and easier than having to direct boot hassle.
Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?
And for the best gaming machine, a Windows 7 tower is the one to use, Mac's can't upgrade their video cards like 3D games require from time to time. There are no/little video card upgrades for the MacPro, but on Windows there are a insane amount of video card upgrade possibilites for the fastest play.
You'll get about 1-2 years of online gameplay running Windows on a Mac, then the video card will get you and you'll be fragbait.

How can I play video games on my mac without it overheating?

A web search is not turning up an iOS app for playing Yahoo! games. So you likely cannot play them.

Go to the App Store on your iPad and search for Zynga games. Some are free (but you have to watch advertisements after each move) and some need to be purchased.

How can I play films/games etc on my iphone on my TV?

How can I play films/games etc on my iphone on my TV? What Wires/cables do I need? I understand it depends on TV but do I need cable for video and also a cable for sound??? Please help, thanking you.

You need one of the Apple AV Cables:
Composite: http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MB129ZA/B
Component: http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MB128ZA/B
Note that with this cable, you can output videos and photo slideshows, but not games, etc. - it doesn't show everything on the screen, only outputs videos and photo slideshows.

How can I play iPad games like Clash of Clans on my iMac or MBP

I have watched a bunch of videos on YouTube that allegedly state that by installing an application such as (but not limited to) XCode I can play iPad games on my Macs. I have not been able to get ANYTHING to work. Has Apple or any 3rd party ever came up with a way to play IOS games on OSX? Xcode specifically was stated in the videos as only being able to run on OSX 10.7 or later. Another video said that it requires 10.8.4 or later. I run 10.8.5. After the 30 minute download and install (big file) it told me that my OSX was not compatible with the application. I got Xcode from the App store.

Thank you xcfdanyboy; however, I already checked out this guys youtube video (blip.tv/simonvideo). The problem for me is I do not have a google account, and will never voluntarily give google any information about me that would be needed to secure a google account. I do not even visit youtube using the traditional internet (WWW). I have not and will never again trust google after they released their updated "privacy" policy on March 1 2011 (or 2012). I do not even their search engine any more (sadly because I loved it).
I will check out your 2nd suggestion. Thank you again for responding to me though.
Nope, the 2nd suggestion also requires me to divulge info to google. Thank you again for both of your suggestions, they will just not work for me. I guess I may be relegated to playing on my Lady's game on her Ipad unless I buy my own Ipad some day. Although I really do not want to drop another $700+ for another Ipad simply so I can play a free game. Who knows.

How can I play xbox games on my macbook pro??

I travel a lot and I cannot take my xbox with me everywhere I go. I have a macbook pro and want to be able to play xbox games on my mac. Is there anyway I can do this? Safely?

The XBox uses three PowerPC processors that run very very hot and need constant power and Mac's use Intel processors that run very cool in comparison.
It would take a complete rewrite of the entire games code to make it work on a Mac.
So in short, it can't be done. Sorry.
But I'll clue you 2 free 3D games you can run on your MacBook Pro
Cube 2 Suaerbraten and Nexiuz Classic. That should help get you by.

How do I install a game on the mac pro?

I cant figure it out. I'm trying to install half life 2. Can someone help me. And how do u know if you can play a game on a mac without downloading windows?

Without downloading Windows? Err, Half-Life 2 is a Windows game
Anyway, for HL2 there actually is a solution that does not require Windows.
You can get Crossover Mac:
http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/
(Note you have to pay for this product -- it's like $50), and it lets you run some Windows apps on the Mac (NOT all of them... as it only emulates some Windows APIs). As it turns out, HL2 is actually one of their supported apps... I actually think it is the ONLY supported game (how fortunate for you . It's worth a try.
Otherwise, it's Boot Camp and a Windows install for you.

Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. For Boot Camp 4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

How do i play age of mythology on mac pro

Can someone plz help with this????
how do i play age of mythology on mac pro..
thank you in advance

Ask Microsoft, there is a Mac OS X version and if it's not compatible with your machine or processor you can install Windows into Apple's BootCamp.
Far as gameplay, I have no idea.

How do you play mine craft on a mac with 2 screens fullscreen

how do you play mine craft on a mac with 2 screens fullscreen i play mine craft and i have a mac pro with 2 screens and i want to know how to play mine craft with both screens

Up until Mavericks, the default setup for multiple displays was "Extended desktop". This picture show how it works far better than any words I could post here:
The blue boxes are Icons for your displays, whose sizes are proportional to the number of pixels. Drag the boxes so that they accurately represent the placement of the displays on your bench (left, right, up, down). Then the mouse moves freely across the boundary between displays, and you can drag a window with it. You can also stretch a window so that it covers most of both screens.
The small white header is an Icon for the MenuBar, which is also moveable.
for Mavericks and later, a different scheme "Displays have separate spaces" becomes the default, but can be annulled by this setting in Mission Control:
"Full Screen" is a concept ported from iOS, the land of tiny screens and one-at-a-time processing for the iPhone. If you have multiple screens, invoking "Full Screen" will make most of the screens stop working entirely, which your main window expands into the MenuBar area. Do not use "Full Screen" on a Mac with multiple screens.

How can I play .avi movies on my mac?

How can I play .avi movies on my mac?
Quicktime pro doesn't do it.
If there's some kind of patch or something, please give me the url/link!
Thanks!

How can I play .avi movies on my mac?With difficulty.
Quicktime pro doesn't do it.Generally speaking, no -- not without third-party components.
If there's some kind of patch or something, please give me the url/link!Try Perian (free). It contains a collection of popular PC codecs which may or may not support the specific files you want. If not, you have to determine what particular codec is required, find out if it is available, and then download/install it. (Not all AVI audio/video file formats have been ported for Mac use.) Even then, if it is a proprietary codec and you want to be able to convert to/from that format, you may have to purchase/register the component.
