  • How can I play The Sims Complete Collection without PowerPC applications being supported?

    So I downloaded Mavericks a while ago after my friend told me it was a really good idea. I hated almost everything about it to start with and since then I've found I don't hate everything but still a lot of things. I was on Snow Leopard before and, even though it was old, it was lovely; I knew where I was with it and everything worked.
    Today I went to play The Sims Complete Collection for the first time since downloading Mavericks a few months ago and it told me 'You can't open the application "The Sims Complete because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." I am SO ANGRY. I would quite happily buy the game again but they don't make them anymore so they'd all have the same system requirements. What's most frustrating is that I sold all my original edition Sims games that I'd been collecting for years to buy Complete Collection for Mac so I could still play the game I've played since the week it was released. Basically I need someone to tell me how to do one of these things;
    1- Downgrade to Snow Leopard again. Bit extreme but I like the Sims a lot. I have the original discs that came with my macbook if that helps at all.
    2- Don't think it can be done but is there a way I could have my Sims Complete Collection on my EA origins app? Like all my Sims 3 are.
    3-  Make PowerPC Applications playable
    4- Basically anything that makes my game playable!

    Izzy118,
    The short answer is that you will not be able to run Sims on your Mac unless a OSX Lion update is released.
    Have a look at this thread on the Sims forum about a patch for Lion.
    The long answer is that you can try to install Fusion and Snow Leopard Server, but at a cost.
    Fusion is not free. Snow Leopard Server is several hundred dollars.
    It will be less expensive to buy an old Mac just for your games.
    Sam.

  • My email address has changed and when I try to play purchased songs it asks me to authorize another computer under the old email address.  How do I play the music that I have purchased?  My account is current with the new email address.

    You may have already done this, but try de-authorizing your computer (through the iTunes:Store menu) and then re-authorizing it.

    Use a paper clip and push it into that hole on the right side of the phone. The SIM container will pop out. Change the SIM and push it in.

  • I am looking to upgrade my Mac to an ideal gaming, photo, and media creation system. What is the best option for me if I like to play The Sims 3 games?

    I am looking for suggestions on the ideal gaming macbook. I enjoy playing the sims 3 but it runs really slowly on my current Macbook. I bought it back in 2011 and ive kept up to date with software updates, etc. Just needing some help deciding which system will give me the biggest bang for my buck.

    16GB RAM upgrade + an SSD upgrade (biggest wallet can afford).
    However, if it is a 13" model, there is an inescapable wall, since those carry just a single GPU and share the video memory with the rest of the apps. 15" and 17" models have a  higher powered, separate and autoswitching GPU and up to 1GB of dedicated VRAM.

    The term "factory unlocked" has no meaning. Your phone was not legitimately unlocked. Contact the carrier it is locked to and find out if you can get it unlocked.

  • How do I use the sim card If its blocked, not because it is brand new, has blocked its carrier when purchased

    How do I use the sim card If its blocked, not because it is brand new, has blocked its carrier when purchased, my uncle bought it from his old friend

    Only the wireless provider to which an iPhone is locked can unlock it. Have
    your uncle's friend contact his wireless provider to see if they offer unlocking
    and if he qualifies. Many wireless providers require that the account be in good
    standing and the iPhone be active on their network for an unlock to proceed.

    how do I activate the sim on the ipad2

    iphones are available in Pakistan, yes, there are no Apple outlets here, but retailers have got it sealed packed and one can buy a brand new one in Pakistan too. But I agree to your input that maybe the softwares were jailbreaked. Anyway, just a day before I gave it to the retailer I bought it from and he configured it to it's original OS, even the itunes recognised it with serial number. But the problem came when I accepted to upgrade it.
