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!

  • Installing the uTorrent in MacBook Air ``Error``

    Guys, I want to install the uTorrent in MacBook air, I just off/on but it did not work for me. I just used the VPN`s too also did not get anything. I want this issue resolved permanently please

    Yes, anything that includes torrent in the offer.   In particular Bit-torrent.   Quite often this will be associated with Softonic and Cnet, both of whom are known for injecting malware into your system.   Avoid them both for anything.

  • PROBLEMS INSTALLING THE SIMS ON MACBOOK

    I have tried installing The Sims the mac version on my macbook several times. Usually it says error-36, unable to complete installation.
    I was not sure if the ownership settings on user data was the problem, since they are set for read only to everyone and staff, but for me it says read and write. I am not sure what the problem is. Help?

    when i bought the game from the apple store the guy said he had the same game and he got it to work on his macbook.
    I'd suggest you go back to the Apple Store and ask that guy how he got it to work. I won't say it's impossible, but Aspyr won't support it and all I can find via a web search are people who've had the same or similar problems with no solutions posted. Unless someone else here knows of a workaround, you may be out of luck.
    do you think i could still get my money back if i don't have the receipt and it has been more than 3 months?
    No, I think that it will be impossible by this time to get your money back. Very few retailers will allow returns on opened software at all and after three months I know of none who would take it back, particularly without the receipt.

  • I just bought the os 10.7 lion, so I want to install that in my macbook air running os 10.6.8. How can I do that?

    I just bought the os 10.7 lion, so I want to install that in my macbook air running os 10.6.8. How can I do that?

    Make sure your system is compatible:
    To use Lion, make sure your computer has the following:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    Find out if your current Mac has one of these processors by clicking the Apple icon at the top left of your screen, then choosing About This Mac.
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    Get up to date with the latest version of OS X Snow Leopard to purchase OS X Lion. If you have Snow Leopard, click the Apple icon and choose Software Update to install version 10.6.8.
    If you are running OS X Snow Leopard you may purchase OS X Lion for $19.99 by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE. You will receive an email containing a content code to download OS X Lion via the Mac App Store.
    If you're running OS X Leopard, you need to upgrade to OS X Snow Leopard prior to upgrading to OS X Lion. OS X Snow Leopard is available via DVD for $19.99 by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE.

  • 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.

  • Install canon printer on macbook air?  I've got as far as add printer - the printer name appears as the software is installed but when I go to choose a driver, mine isn't listed - where is it?  what do I do? Tearing hair out...

    install canon printer on macbook air?  I've got as far as add printer - the printer name appears as the software is installed but when I go to choose a driver, mine isn't listed - where is it?  what do I do? Tearing hair out...

    Thanks for telling us the printer model. You are right - it isn't in the software available for auto-download from Apple servers.
    Are you using the version 3.66 CAPT driver released in Jun 2014?
    Get it from:
    http://www.canon-europe.com/Support/Consumer_Products/products/printers/Laser/i- SENSYS_LBP5000.aspx?type=download&softwaredetailid=tcm:13-920158&os=OS%20X%20v10 .9&language=
    It is a disk image (.dmg) file. You must double-click to "mount" the disk image, then install using the installer inside that.
    Please let us know if that helps. There are more thing to try.

  • How do i install oracle on my macbook air

    Hi,
    I want to install oracle on my macbook air for a specific project. I don't want to run on any virtual machine or whatsoever. I want to find out if there is a way by which i can run it on my mac drive.
    Any help will be welcome. Thanks.

    Oracle.com
    Downloads available there.
    But be aware not all of the latest and greatest versions are ported to MacOSX.  Perhaps the latest version you can run is 10g (last I saw it was).
    Oracle intalls are hungry beasts with complex installs, and the installed subpackages in Mac are required for Oracle due to "compiling" that occurs during install.

    Use the Flash Drive that came with your computer it has Snow Leopard installed on it. If you lost it or cannot find it then call Apple and they will replace it for you, I don't know how much they will charge.
    BTW when installing MS Windows please follow the directions whether you are using Boot Camp or a vitualialization solution (Parallels, Fusion, etc.) had  you done this you would not have had any issues.

  • Should I upgrade to the i7 processor on the 2012 11" Macbook Air?

    I'm planning to get a new Macbook friday or so, and I'm curious to whether or not I should upgrade to the i7 processor in the 2012 11" Macbook Air. I do a lot of photoshopping and occasionally playing Sims 3, but aside from that it's just usual typing and social networking type stuff. Is upgrading to the i7 worth it and will I notice a difference? Or should I just go for upgrading the RAM to 8GB instead of the 4GB it comes with? I also am for sure getting the 256GB upgrade, as well as a case and external disc drive. Whatever the lowest pricing possible would be preferable to get what works best for me.
    Thanks!

    Difference between i5 1.7 and i7 2.0 definitely won't give you extra year or two... In fact in everyday work it remains unnoticed.
    Unless while encoding video for 5 minutes, some 15 seconds is going to make a difference to you - I am not sure it's worth the money (only you can decide that..).
    RAM. RAM. RAM is where you really should spend money. Also SSD, depends on your needs, you may run out of space quite quickly. These are elements that will give you additional year or two, and you can't* upgrade them in the future.
    *) SSD technicaly can be upgraded, but it's much more difficult and requires you to purchase 3rd party SSD modules, and is considered non-upgradable by Apple.
