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.

  • 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.

  • Are iMacs good for playing video games like Skyrim?

    I'm most likely to be getting a baseline iMac and I wanted to know if these computers are good for playing video games such as Skyrim before I get rid of my current PC. Also, are these games even compatable with a Mac. I've heard rumors that you can't play these kind of games on a Mac.

    So, I can interchange between the Mac OS and Windows at any time I want or did I understand that wrong? Is it a one or the other kind of deal?
    Yes, please read the Boot Camp FAQ for additional information.  You will need to buy a license of Windows 7 and once your get the iMac run an App called Boot Camp Assistant and follow the on-screen instructions to install Windows. Once you have you completed you will have both OS X and Windows 7 installed. BTW there is a Boot Camp forum if you have more detailed questions, that is where the Boot Camp and Windows guys hang out.
    Note: Whenever you load MS Windows on your Mac it then becomes a  native Windows machine when running Windows. This means like any Windows box it is susceptible to ALL the other issues Windows users have to put up with including viruses and other malware. The good news is even if your Windows partition becomes totally diseased that in no way affects the OS X partition or OS X.

  • I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program

    HI All
    I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to it's frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program .
    I used IMAQ AVI Read Frame VI
    for example I have avi video It's frame rate is 25 fbs ,my image processing code is very fast that can process more 25 fbs,so I want to accelerate video acquisition

    Hi abdelhady,
    I looked into this further, and reading an AVI file into LabVIEW faster than its frames per second won't be possible. LabVIEW could read in frames faster than 25fps, but because it will be pulling the available frame at that point in time this would just give you duplicate frames. If you want to be able to read in frames at faster than 25fps, you would need to speed up your AVI file before reading into LabVIEW.
    There's a good shipping example to show how to read in from an AVI file, "Read AVI File.vi". You'll notice that they add timing to make sure that the while loop runs at the right speed to match up with the frames per second of the file being read. This is to make sure you're not reading duplicate frames.
    Thank you,

  • Upgraded Computer Routinely Crashes when playing Video games

    I had an "HP Pavilion HPE-150f Desktop PC" for a few years, but about a year and a half ago, I upgraded the graphics card and the power supply. My new power supply was a Corsair TX 650, and my new graphics card was an
    ATI Radeon HD6970 Sapphire. Everything went fine until about a month ago (so I had about a year of smooth sailing with this setup). 
    Usually after 5-10 mins of playing any video game, my computer starts getting hic-hupc (visual and audio lag, as well as input lag), and crashes soon after.
    This problem tends to happen most when playing video games, but it also happens at random times when I am not doing anything demanding on my computer.
    I get short bits of lag (visual, and sound lag). It starts up at distanced intrevals, but slowly gets more frequent. Eventually, the computer either freezes, or I get a blue screen.
    I have cleaned up the dust in my computer numerous times. It didn't really help.
    I have updated drivers after doing a full system restore on my computer (along with updating other windows related things), that did not help either.
    I thought getting the drivers updated had solved my problem, but when I was playing a video game today I ran into the same issue. Which video game it is is not really a detail, since this happens with almost all games.
    I had originally thought this was related to CPU temperatures, but I installed a program that monitors that and everything was within the 40-50 degree range. I'm told this is normal from my friends who get higher temperatures and yet do not run into this problem. 
    I'm on windows 7.
    I will provide more info if needed. This problem has been ongoing for a few months now.
    TL;DR:
    Computer randomly starts lagging-up/freezing. I sometimes get a blue screen and I sometimes don't (meaning I have to restart the machine myself). 
    Problem happens more often when I am gaming, but it can also happen randomly at any given time.
    Thanks in advance to any who can help.
    In the next post I will give some info about my machine.

    Here is the info of what I have:
    1. Intel Core I7 (It also says: "860 @2.80GHz 2.80Hz" in the ControlPanel->System and Security -> System tab)
    2. ATI Radeon HD6970 Sapphire
    3. Win7 64bit
    4. Driver for Catalyst: Version 12.104.0.0 (for the GPU)
    5. Corsair TX 650
    6. 8.00 GB of RAM
    7. i) The computer did come with the OS (win7 64bit), but it wasn't updated. To update it, I went to the search bar in the START menu and typed something along the lines of "Windows update", which took me to a seperate window, where I could let the computer update itself.
       ii) The original product did not have the Power Supply it currently has, or The graphics card it currently has. I bought those two myself to modify the machine.
    The original product was a "HP Pavilion HPE-150f Desktop PC". I believe that is the name for it. The System tab in control panel simply says "HPE-150f"
    8. Monitor resolution 1920x1080, connected by DVI connector.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
    I also used a program called Speccy, which gives you info about your computer. 
    About my BIOS, Speccy said:
    Brand:    American Megatrends Inc.
    Version: 5.15
    Date:     25/06/2010
    So I went to the following site and updated my BIOS:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=ca&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4063&product=4120554&softw...
    It didn't help anything, I still get the exact same crashing.
    Lastly, here is an image of the blue screen I am getting:
    I also made a thread on the AMD support forums for my GPU's manufacturer, That thread can be found here:
    http://forums.amd.com/game/messageview.cfm?catid=443&threadid=167863&enterthread=y
    Thanks in advance to any who can help. I can provide more info if needed.

    Is your friends phone jailbroke? Also are you using the facebook app? If so then you need to ask the developer of the app what the problem is.

  • New $400 iPod dock that plays video games!!!

    I just spent $400 dollars on a new iPod dock that also plays video games. You can hook up your iPod via USB2.0 to a Xbox 360 and it works great. You can view your iPod contents through the Xbox 360 dashboard and play it through your home theater. You can also stream music off of your iPod while your playing a game. Too Cool!!

  • Anyway to Play Video Games on IMac

    Just purchased the new Imac and I have a question. There is only one tv in my house and me and my lady friend fights over the tv. Is there a way I can play video games with good quality on the new IMac? I have seen the eyetv, and was wandering will that work. Thanks
    Cliff

    You obviously can play Mac games on the Mac...
    if you have a console then you can use the eyeTV Wonder USB.

    Q: Can I connect my PlayStation/GameCube/XBox to EyeTV Wonder USB 2.0?
    A: You can. EyeTV Wonder USB 2.0 has a delay of only few milliseconds, allowing for excellent live gameplay. Other EyeTV devices have encoding hardware that causes a larger delay, rendering gameplay difficult to impossible.

  • Play video games with MSI VOX USB?

    Hi,
    I am interested in getting the MSI VOX USB 2.0 External TV Box and I am just wondering if I can play video games such as Playstation 2 with my laptop using this tv tuner. I heard some tv tuners have the "delay" make them useless to play video games. Does MSI VOX USB have this "dealy", and how is the the picture quality while playing video game with this tv tuner?
    Thanks in advance.
    Jim

    Hiya,
    I dont really understand the VoxBox but I've just inadvertadly managed to put the PS2 on my laptop by plugging the video/audio cables into the converter and then into a USB port, and although it did work, and there wasnt a delay or anything, the quality was poor compared to a TV and also it flickered a bit so I'm not sure it would work that well- but that may have just been my computer playing up. Definitely possible though. Sorry I cant offer much more advice!

  • Can somebody advice me what to do, when I want to play video on iPad, the screen is just black....but in iTunes it shows he movies are there.

    Can somebody advice me what to do... when I want to play video on iPad, the screen is just black....it was just fine this morning. In iTunes it shows the movies are there.

    Try starting the movie using a backdoor approach.
    Swipe down from the middle of any home screen in order to bring up the Spotlight Search Feature. Type in the name of the movie in the text field. When the movie appears in the search, tap on it and that should launch the videos app and hopefully the movie will being to play.

  • What is the best way to record video games on my mac

    what is the best way to record video games on my mac?

    I'm unclear about what you're asking - could you be a little clearer? I know you say that you want to "record video games" but I'm not sure if you're asking if you could, for instance, create a movie of video games as they're being played or what.

  • Hello, i need to know if there is any way to use windows games in my mac without install a windows os?

    i want to play some games but i dont want to install any windows OSs, could you help me please.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can try CrossOver, that allows you to install Windows apps in OS X. However, it doesn't always work, so it's possible that games don't work.
    If it doesn't work, you have to install Windows with Boot Camp. You will get the best performance
