If i buy a cd game, will it work on my mac?

let's say i buy a sims cd game from walmart and it's written for pc, will it work for my mac?

If run through Windows, yes. If run through Wine or CrossOver Games, it depends on the game.
Mac OS X cannot run Windows software natively.

    ı buy virtual tenis game but doesnt work 3gs help please

    ALL U.S. iphones are carrier locked and CANNOT be unlocked at all.  They can ONLY be activated with AT&T in the U.S.  No other carrier, no other country.
    No.  A U.S. iphone would have to be returned to the U.S.
    If possible you need to return the iphone to the U.S. for a full refund and buy one in your country.

  • I have an HP photosmart8250 printer and wondering when I buy a new ipad will it work with that?

    I have an HP photosmart8250 printer and wondering when I buy a new ipad will it work with that?

    There's a list of printers that support AirPrint, the native mechanism for printing from iOS, here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    I don't see the 8250 listed. HP has an app that enables printing to some of their other wireless printers; search the iTunes Store and you should find it as well as some other printing apps. Otherwise you can connect the printer to your computer and route the printing through the computer. f you have a Mac, Printopia might be worth a look:
    http://www.ecamm.com/mac/printopia/
    If you have a Windows system, search the web for something like "airprint Windows hack" and you'll find instructions on enabling printing.
    Another option is an AirPrint-capable print server. Lantronix makes a couple of models, including one that supports a USB printer:

  • I updated to java 7 and now my yahoo games will not work, how do i fix this?

    i updated to java 7 and now my yahoo games will not work, how do I fix this?

    kathieaross,
    click on the Java pane in System Preferences. When the Java Control Panel window opens, click on the Security tab, and set your Security Level to Medium — that will allow “untrusted” applications (i.e. those without certificates from a trusted authority) to run. Press the Apply button in the lower-right corner to confirm the change, then press the OK button to close the window.
    Apparently your Yahoo! card games don’t have certificates associated with them, which is why the default security setting of Java SE 7 Update 51 didn’t allow them to run.

  • Beta games will not work at all.

    When I download beta games into peazip or anotherzip file. they either throw components of the game all over my desktop or, if I put it in a new folder, just do not work. All regular games work fine using this method, just beta games will not work. I extract from zip file onto my desktop in new file, open the exe. in that file to a blank black page. Called HP, they could not help me! I am going crazy with this,as my computer is only a few months old! HELP!!! Thank you very much to anyone who knows how to fix this problem! God bless!

    Terri, welcome to the forum.
    When you say beta games, I want to make certain that I understand what you mean.  Is this a developer (Beta) or games that are in the beta testing stage?  If they are beta test games, it isn't surprising that you are having problems.  Beta test games simply, in many cases, are not ready for prime time.  The best way to handle them is by checking to see if there are patches available.  It would be rare, but possibly the only way to get them to work properly.

  • My macbook is 4 years old, i havent bought any upgrades but now i cant download the new itunes. Can i buy one upgrade and will it work or is there a way to get the new itunes?

    My macbook is 4 years old, i havent bought any upgrades but now i cant download the new itunes. Can i buy one upgrade and will it work or is there a way to get the new itunes?

    Even a four-year-old MacBook should have come with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Leopard can run the latest version of iTunes; it will download and install pretty much automatically if you run Software Update.
    You might first have to be sure that you are running the latest version of Leopard, which is 10.5.8. This, too, will download and install for you if you run Software Update. Just keep running Software Update until there is nothing left to download and install (you might have to run it more than once because some updates require previous updates to be installed first).
    If you have a version of Mac OS X earlier than 10.5, then you can't run the latest version of iTunes. You will need to buy a more recent version of Mac OS X. You must be running at least 10.4 Tiger, and you can upgrade directly to Snow Leopard from Tiger. Apple still sells Snow Leopard for about $30 and you might find it slightly less at a retailer or on eBay. After upgrading to Snow Leopard, you will be able to upgrade to Lion using the Mac App Store for another $30 or so if your MacBook meets the minimum system requirements.

  • Help! limewire will not work on my Mac mini 10.4.11 now that i cleaned it

    Help! LimeWire will not work on my Mac mini 10.4.11 now that i cleaned it out and had to get the new LimeWire. It keeps asking for Java 1.6 but I'm having no luck. :O( LimeWire was the reason I bought a Mac!

    Very weird day in Firefoxland
    First on a Powerbook G4 running 10.4.11 I respond to an invitation to upgrade to Firefox 4 (like a lot of others). Long story short, I wind up losing the browser altogether -- including all bookmarks. Why? Because neither the Firefox homepage (or CNET downloads) makes it clear that 4.0 is for OS 10.5 only! Amazing!
    Then I try to register to post a reply in a thread that crits Firefox for not making this System Requirements info upfront clear. But the Register page I’m taken to (https://support.mozilla.com/bs/users/register) is in SERBO-CROATIAN!!
    Then I try to log into Chat a couple of times and when it’s not CLOSED its a long line waiting and THEN it closes.
    WOW!! Are the wheels off the wagon here or what!?!

  • I am considering purchasing a new Mac desktop. I have, at present, a Liteon 851S ext CD/DVD write and a Maxtor 3200 USB ext hard drive. Will these work with a Mac desktop? My local Apple store could not answer my question.Happy New year to all.

    Yes the Mac can read that drive but you would need to Copy the data off of it to the Mac as apposed to Move, which implies Deleting them from the drive as they were transferred from the external to the Mac. Since the Mac can Not Write to NTFS drives it can't Delete anything as that is really a Write operation, IE Making changes to the NTFS formatted drive.
    Once you have that Data on Both your New Mac and you Older Windows PC you can format that drive to work on both system.
    If you want to and plan on doing that post back and I'll explane how, it is simple but should be done on a Windows PC.
    If you only plan on using it on the Mac from now on that is fairly simple also and is done on the Mac, Once you have the files from it stored on the Mac.
    Yes you could burn those photos to DVD but that is just a waste of DVDs, you don't need to.

  • HT201407 If I buy an iphone 5c will it work for NET 10 and Straight Talk providers?

    I am looking to buy either an iphone 5s or iphone 5c for my daughter this Christmas.  She uses Straight Talk...I use NET 10.  If I buy either one of these iphones from Apple, will it work with both carriers?
    Thanks,
    Heather

    You need to talk with Straight Talk and see if they will accept a carry in Verizon iPhone.
