I am having trouble installing the Sims 3 on my macbook pro.

When I try to install the Sims 3 base game, the installer comes up as it should... but when I try to proceed a message comes up saying the power pc application is no longer supported. My macbook runs on the OS x mavericks operating system, does this system not support the Sims? Someone help please!

Either the installer or the game, or both, are written for Apple's pre-Intel machines. If I were you, I would contact Electronic Arts and see if there is an update to the version that you have.

I am having trouble installing Lightroom 4 on my MacBook Pro.

I have used the LR4 DVD, and it seems to install, but it doesn't showup in an active way on my computer (MacBook Pro w/ 10.6.8). I can't find it on my computer... it was installed on the hard drive, but doesn't show up on the "dock." Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Steve

Double click your HDD on the desktop, then open the Applications folder. If it was properly installed it should be in the folder. If its there click/hold/drag to the dock.
Then you should be able to start the application from the dock. You can double click the Icon in the Applications folder to start also.

Go here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1582, download the update file and run it. Ideally, start up in Safe Mode when you do the update.

It will not install your machine is close to 7 years old and the newest Flash Player will not install on that old of an Operating System.
If you have flash on there already then thats probably the best your going to get.
You can Google and see what is the latest version for your Operating System.

Having trouble installing the certificate..

Having trouble installing the certificate.. downloaded the file already.(AET.aetx) on my phone, it says Tap to open,.it ask "Add company account? select add..however
it keeps me on the same process.. no installation was done..need help please.. :( currently using Lumia 810

Hello,
To install the certificate, you only have to scan the provided QR code. The code appears when you click the “Install the certificate” link that you see after you generate an application. Press the magnifying glass at the bottom of the mobile phone to launch
Bing search, and then press the eye icon that appears at the bottom of the screen. Point the phone’s camera at the QR code, and the phone will automatically scan it.
Important: Once installed, the phone will take you back to the original screen with a button that says “Install Certificate”. There is no feedback that communicates the success or failure of the installation procedure.
After this, you can install your app by scanning the provided QR code, by following the same procedure used to install the certificate.
I hope this helps.

I just paid the $9,99 a month to have access to Photoshop and lightroom. I am having trouble installing the programs and when I installed on Photoshop it said "trial"- this isn't suppose to be a trial but a resource I pay for monthly for a year right?

What turns the trial into the live software is signing in. If you sign in with the Adobe ID that has the subscription, the trial becomes live. First check your account on Adobe.com to make sure that the subscription is live.

I am having trouble installing Snow Leopard on my MacBook -it just quits midway through. I have one GB of memory which I think should be enough. Any advice

I am having trouble installing Snow Leopard on my MacBook. It's around 4 years old and has 1GB Memory. The installation just quits around 20 minutes into the process without any error message. My current OS is Leopard.

but it didn't have Mac OS installed, the previous owner was a Windows 7 user, so that was the only OS installed in my Mac.
The previous owner should have given you the discs that originally came with the computer.
Replacement System Discs can be obtained from Apple's Customer Support - US (800) 767-2775 for a nominal fee. You'll need to have the model and serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html

I have a MS Office for Mac CD, how do I install the software onto my MacBook Pro (Retina Display)?

I have a MS Office for Mac CD, how do I install the software onto my MacBook Pro (Retina Display)? It does not have a CD drive.

If all else fails, try this. i used to do it all the time before. might or might not work with the new office.
if you have access to another computer with a cd/dvd rom, copy the entire contents of the cd on a thumb drive.
insert the thumb drive in your MB and do the install from there.
However, if you have the newer version of MS Office, Bandit's suggestion is much better.

Good day all, I am having trouble installing the latest version of Itunes on my desktop. I receive a message that sttates the older version not be removed and then the installation process is aborted. I am running windows

Good day all, I am having trouble installing te latest version of Itunes on my computer.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Installing the Sims 3 on MacBook Air.

I tried to install the sims 3 on my new MacBook Air 11", but it keeps getting stuck with 7 minutes left, 486 of 517 files left to copy. I chose the proposed HDD.
Do you know any solution?
Thx

I would refer to the EA Games site and review the minimum system requirements for the Sims 3. They recently launched Origin for Mac which I believe sells Sims 3. Good luck!

Trouble installing Windows 8.1 on MacBook Pro Retina mid 2014

Hi everyone
I recently bought a MacBook Pro Retina (mid 2014, 15", 2.8GHz, 1TB SSD) and wanted to install Windows 8.1 on it via bootcamp.
I have an official .ISO package of Windows 8.1 (it's x64, I checked), got it from MS Dreamspark as a student, and a valid serial number for it, of course.
Burned the image on a 16gb flash drive via bootcamp and proceeded to install. When asked by windows installer which partition to install on, selected bootcamp and clicked 'format', as it was recommended to do in various instructions on the internet (as it wouldn't install without formatting, I tried). The installation went good and finished, but immedeatly after that the installer gave me a notification "Impossible to update computer loading configuration, installation cancelled" (maybe it's not exactly like that, translated as accurately as I could, I'm installing windows in Russian).
I tried it twice, each time re-burning the installation drive. Got the same error each time.
All the software (OS X, bootcamp, etc.) is up to date, the macbook shouldn't have any problems as it was bought just a few days ago.
How can I solve this problem?

yes sorry if it ruin the ending of one of the youtube clips you will be witching if you have problems as how you install windows in bootcamp

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
