How do i play Sims 2 on a macbook pro?

I've brought Sims 2 which is a MAC game, but when I tried to install it on my macbook, it said the application PowerPC was no longer supported. So, I want to know if there was a way to run the game? e.g. external hard-drive? or by going through windows? Would a mac game work through windows?
If anyone has had this problem and found a solution, i'd be very grateful if they could let me know. Thank you.

PowerPC applications are not supported with OS X Lion 10.7.  Only OS X 10.6 or prior.  That means you can not play that game on your mac.

  • How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver. I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. thanks

    How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver? I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. There are 4 HDMI-in ports on the receiver - BD, DVD, DVR/BDR and audio. In my system preferences for sound, the receiver doesn't show up as an output option. Can anyone please advise. (ps, this is my first time posting a question, so I hope I can find your answers!) thanks, JP downunder

    For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA  audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver.  Use something like this:

  • How do I play video from my macbook pro to my tv?

    How do I play video from my macbook pro to my tv?

    What model MacBook Pro do you have? On my late 2011, I used to use a Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter to get video and audio from my Mac to my television. I used this adapter from Monoprice. Worked great - I just no longer use it because I bought a 27" monitor.
    You can also use AirPlay mirroring if you've the right MBP and an Apple TV - but the wired method works, too.

  • HT2499 How do I play DVDs on my MacBook Pro?

    I just recently got a MacBook Pro and never having owned one before in my life, I put in a DVD thinking it would play and it didn't. A DVD icon showed up on my desktop so I clicked on it and all there was were folders, etc. I didn't know what to do and am completely ignorant when it comes to macs so I was all over the help menus for every "player" in my arsenal. I tried dragging the desktop icon into the quicktime icon at the bottom, but it said that it wasn't found or whatnot. I came here and read about something called a region code, but I can't for the life of me figure out what they are, where they are, or how to use them, etc.

    Sounds like you purchased a used Mac that the previous owner left in a mess.
    If it is used, hold the Option button down and click on the Apple at the upper left. Choose System Information. From the app that comes up, copy only the top four lines and paste them into a new post here. Like this:
    Model Name:
    Mac Pro
    Model Identifier:
    MacPro5,1
    Processor Name:
    6-Core Intel Xeon
    Processor Speed:
    3.33 GHz
    That's all we need to see exactly what model you have so the answers you get from this point won't be based on things you can't do.

  • How can I play sound from my MacBook Pro through my iMac?

    I have a MacBook pro which I am looking to use for only iTunes or Spotify for the time being but the iMac built in speakers are better.
    I am internet sharing from an ethernet on my iMac and the Macbook pro is connected to the shared network.
    Can I play music from Spotify on my macbook pro but out of my iMac speakers?
    Thanks

  • I am trying to watch movies stored on a WD Elements hard drive but how do I play them through my macbook pro? Thank you

    Please can anyone help me - I want to watch movies stored on an WD Elements external hard drive through my macbook pro.How do I do this as it seems to keep asking for an application to open it?

    What format are the movies in? At the end of the file name you should see something like .mp4, .avi, etc. You probably need a program like this one:

    How do I burn a cd on macbook pro to play on cd player? Spotlight has never heard of such a thing.

    I already have them in itunes and have dragged them onto a burn folder and burned the cd. But if I put the cd in a cd player I only hear a loud buzz. I have done this before but have forgotten where to find the directions -- there used to be a link you could click to burn for a cd player.

    Your not weird, your a audiophile.

    Good sound costs money. And with a 5.1 system your usually doing surround sound decoding for BlueRay movies etc. for home theater purposes.
    The PC 5.1 surround sound systems require a audio card in a PC tower and mainly used for playing 3D games so that won't work for any Mac at all. So don't buy a PC 5.1 surround sound system for your Mac.
    Harmon Kardon has the GoPlay, it's a portable stereo with awesome sound (not as good as their theater systems) and you can hook up a analog male/male stereo mini cable to it from the Mac.
    $200 and it has a iPod dock and also takes like 8 batteries so it's portable.

    There is also the Bose Wave clock/radio, you will need a stereo mini to RCA break out cable for that.

    The GoPlay has much better sound than the Bose, I think the Bose are overpriced.

  • How do I uninstall programs from my MacBook Pro?

    I am new to Mac and don't fully understand how to uninstall a program from my Macbook Pro. I've been having some problems with the Sims 3 (Probably some custom content that was bad) and I want to completely uninstall The Sims 3 from my laptop. How do I do this? I have heard that some people say to just delete the folder from my Applications, but being that I come from PC that doesn't seem like it gets rid of everything to me. Anything would be helpful. Thanks.

    Sarah
    Here are the steps:
    Manually Uninstalling The Sims 3 from a Mac
    Delete the /Applications/The Sims 3 folder (or any for a Stuff of Expansion pack).
    Delete the /Users/"User"/Library/Preferences/The Sims 3 Preferences folder.
    Delete the /Users/"User"/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3 folder.
    Note: This file can be saved as a backup to retain save games, simply rename it.

  • How can I get Minecraft onto my Macbook Pro?

    How can I get Minecraft onto my Macbook Pro? It is 15 inch Retina display, and it is Version 10.9.1 . I download the game, log in and press play, but as soon as it finishes loading, the blue bar goes away and nothing else happens!
    It goes from this:
    To this:
    And on the development console it says this:

    Hello EpicEmma,
    I just had this problem today!, but i have a SOLUTION ,
    right click the finder icon and click "go to folder"
    type : "~Library/ Application Support
    Find the minecraft folder, Backup your Saves, (drag the saves folder onto the desktop) *OPTIONAL*
    delete the minecraft folder, not the application.
    Open the minecraft Launcher (it will take a while to start up)
    Put in login info and when its loaded up, press "play"
    The blue bar will take a minute or two...
    And then... it should start normally
    U dont need to repeat the steps every time u open Minecraft. You can later replace the saves folder with the new one back to where it was whenever you want at the same place where it used to be before. Hope this helped!

  • How to mirror to tv monitor using macbook pro 2012

    how to mirror to tv monitor using macbook pro 2012.  The airplay is not displayed anywhere except I Tunes which only plays what is on I Tunes.

    Howdy there nell a-7,
    It sounds like you are not seeing the Airplay icon in the menu bar on your Mac but you do see it in iTunes. I would use these steps from the following article to help troubleshoot the issue:
    iOS: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215
    Try these steps first
    Verify that your iOS device's software is up to date.
    Verify your Apple TV's software is up to date.
    Verify that your iOS device has Wi-Fi turned on. Enable Wi-Fi on your iOS device by going to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    All AirPlay-enabled devices must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
    Some Wi-Fi network configurations offer a Guest Network. On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General >Network and ensure that you're connecting to the same Wi-Fi network on your iOS device. On your iOS device, tap Setting > Wi-Fi and confirm that this matches your Apple TV.
    If the AirPlay icon doesn't appear
    Ensure that you have followed the steps in using AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring.If you are still unable to see the AirPlay icon  , try one of the following steps:
    If trying to AirPlay, or AirPlay mirror, to your Apple TV, ensure that AirPlay is enabled on your Apple TV as well. You can enable or disable AirPlay on Apple TV in the AirPlay menu: Settings > AirPlay.
    Check Internet or network connectivity on all affected devices.
    Some content requires an Internet connection to authorize content playback. AirPlay capabilities may be limited if your network is not connected to the Internet.
    If attempting to use AirPlay from a third-party app or a website from your Safari app on your iOS device, confirm that the app or website is AirPlay compatible (refer to the developers of the app or website for additional information).
    Here is some additional information about Airplay for Mac:

    All the best,
