Macbook 2.0ghz and Sims 2 Universal Binary Patch

Please help.
I have downloaded several versions of the Sims 2 universal binary patch. Everytime I double-click the patch to execute it, my Macbook freezes.
Has anyone experienced this or installed the patch sucessfully?
Thanks!

Hey. Now I have my Macbook, and this exact same thing happens to me. Whats weird is that it was working before I reinstalled Tiger...

  • Warcraft III Universal Binary Patch

    I've got some problems installing Warcraft III Universal Binary patch. Downloaded .bin file gives following error while extracting: "Unable to unarchive "War3TFT....bin" into "Downloads". (Error 45 - Operation not supported)."
    Can anyone give me some hint on how to make this work?

    Solved it by myself. Instead of downloading the file off Blizzard's website, use "Battle.net" within the game.

  • Is there a substantial difference between the macbook 2.0ghz and the 2.1gh?

    Hi

    Is there a huge difference between these two computers?
    I am a complete newbie to macs (although a complete convert as they rock!) but I'm really confused as mine says it's a 2.1 but the specs are for a 2.0. Am I just reading this wrong? I've copy/pasted this from my computer:
    Hardware Overview:
    Model Name: Mac
    Model Identifier: MacBook2,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
    Memory: 1 GB
    Bus Speed: 667 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: MB21.00A5.B06
    SMC Version: 1.17f0
    Serial Number: W8734HN5Z5V
    Sudden Motion Sensor:
    State: Enabled
    It says it's a macbook 2.1 but it has only a 2.0ghz processer, I am completely confused...
    It's only another £90 so would it be worthwhile paying a little bit extra? Is the £789 macbook a better computer, will it last longer, perform better over time?
    Lots of uestions, sorry for being a newbie, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hey Karen -
    I think that you misunderstood my comment. I was merely referring to the statement from your Hardware Overview that mentioned the fact that you indeed had a 2.0 MacBook to clarify the confusion that you had in reading your specs.
    The processor speed is not an upgradable item. You would need to get a new MacBook in order to increase you processor speed.
    The RAM (you have 1GB) and your Hard Drive (unknown size) are the only upgrades that can be made to your MacBook.
    Don't waste your time with Mac for Dummies....instead, if you are famiar with using MS Windows, go here: http://www.apple.com/support/switch101/
    Hope this helps.

  • Sims 2 Universal Binary Help

    I have downloaded the Sims 2 UB patch RevD, but for some reason whenever I try to open it, I get a message saying that it failed to mount because it is not recognized??
    It may have something to do with the fact that I am in a location at the moment without access to the internet off of my MBP. I downloaded the patch onto my PC, cut it and pasted it onto my jump drive and then from my jumpdrive copy pasted it into my MBP. It is a .dmg file, but my MBP will not recognize it.
    Anyone have any ideas as to what else I can try? Is it the fact that I transferred the downloaded file from a PC first or am I missing a neccesary application for opening this patch? I have stuffit.
    Thank you!

    Hi Dan,
    Download and install Stuffit Expander. Then try it again. I put Stuffit in my Application-Utility folder.

  • Swf and Universal Binary

    I've produced a application (standalone player) on Mac for PC
    customers. It's pretty heavy, it includs videos and flash
    didactical sequences. All play fine on my 2 computers (G4 bipro
    1,25Ghz and G5 1,8 Ghz) and on the customer computers.
    But I've to install it on a MacBook Laptop (with only 512Mo)
    and then problem...
    The video and animations are slow, even if I play the swf
    separately the simple animations are slow, so I think that the
    standalone player uses Rosetta...
    How to solve that problem ?
    Is there a Flash 9 player installer (not only for browser) ?
    If I found a Flash player 9 to compile again the projector
    will it works on Universal Binary computers ?
    Thank for your help ;)

    Look like it's done! In the download page :
    http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
    There is a link to download the INTEL version of the Flash
    Player (release and debug!). But in fact, it's a Universal Binary
    app, not just Intel !.
    So, they should flush the link for the PowerPC version...
    It's working fine on my G5 powerPC too.

  • Universal Binary..Once and For All

    I know this topic has been discussed, but I'm still a little confused. I want to put this issue to rest, at least from my perspective.
    If you install a Universal Application via download or CD/DVD does it install an application that would be able to run of BOTH an Intel or PPC Mac. I know that the file size isn't exactly doubled, but does it still add extra unneeded code.
    I'm on a PPC Mac and I want to know if I download a Universal App am I getting the Intel version too. I really don't want this because I want my drive to be a slim as possible.
    If the Universal App does install both version (which I think was clearly evident in the huge increase in size of iLife '06 and iWork) is the only way to get the Intel version off to use "Trim the Fat".
    I don't really want to get into the nitty gritty...I just want to know if unneeded code is being installed and taking up space on my iBook because of this new Universal App thing.
    Thank you so much.

    The answer is yes.
    Universal binaries typically include both PowerPC and x86 versions of a compiled application.
    Universal binaries are usually substantially larger than single-platform binaries, because two copies of the compiled code must be stored. The size of the resulting universal binary is usually not double (roughly a 30% increase in size) as a significant portion will be resources which are shared between the two architectures.

  • Old school, has anyone here been able to install and run Logic Pro 9.1   on a dual 1.8 G5 PPC? I know LP9 is not officialy supported on non Intel CPUs, But  9.0.0 and 9. 02 are ok on the G5 PPC as it is universal Binary, while I hear 9.1 wont work

    ok thanks, that's what I tought,looks like apple machines are only good for two - three years, the software developers are ahead of the hardware to a certain point, love macs but this is forcing us to buy new macs just to keep  up with development. There was a time it was the opposite.
    By the time we get up on new stuff it's time to change again. Gotta be rich to deal with macs ...LOL

  • Lion and Apple MacBook 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (13-inch Black) MA701LL/A

    Anyone here tried to upgrade the MacBook 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (13-inch Black) MA701LL/A Laptop/Notebook to Lion?
    I wonder if this laptop has enough power to support Lion.  So far I upgraded the memory to its max of 2G.
    according to this page:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD256
    it should work, but i wanted to get some feedback from users.
    thx

    That folder with a question mark means your computer can't find the hard drive. It's possible the drive is physically damaged, but it may also be an error in the system files that has the computer "lost."
    Do you have your install discs handy? If so, pop in Install Disc 1 and hold the C key while booting the computer. Once the Installer loads, choose "disk Utility" from the Utilities menu. Does your Hard drive appear? If so, choose the Repair Disk option. If you see any messages saying something can't be repaired, post the messages here. Also check the S.M.A.R.T. status of the drive; this is in the lower right corner of the window.
    Best of luck!

  • Lion Upgrade and Universal Binary Plugins

    Hey All,
    So I read the apple press release about the Lion upgrade and if memory serves correctly I read that, with Lion, Apple will be discontinuing support for Universal Binary applications. 
    I'm currently running Logic Express 9.1.4 on Snow Leopard and I have a few Universal Binary AU plugins. 
    If I do upgrade to Lion, will my Universal Binary AU plugins also cease to work when I run Logic on Lion? 
    Additionally, will an upgrade to lion require me to run another series of upgrades in order for my system, and all my other apps, to run smoothly?
    Not really complaining about this, just weighing the options before I decide whether to upgrade or not

    I read about the Universal Binary support as well - don't remember where, did some googling. I'm not a big Apple/computer tekkie, but I have a feeling that going to Lion will be like the OS9 to OSX transition, but as if Classic Environment never existed.
    I'd make the Lion decision based on your current hardware and software - is it working now? Or are you looking at some future release that only Lion will support? I bought Macromedia Studio (Academic) 2004 for about $200 or less back then, it's $529 now on Amazon, no cheaper/Academic version available that I can find (well, it's Adobe now.) Final Draft is screenwriting - basic word processing - no need to shell out close to $200 for a new version or a $99 upgrade that does the same thing on Lion (though after fighting with the company about their dropping support for my version, I was offered a cheaper upgrade - still, no need.) Also, MS Office works fine on the mini - again, basic word processing (I only and rarely use Word) seems crazy to upgrade, based on trying a new OS.
    My G4 tower (I believe currently running 10.4.x) worked for my needs for what, 8 years? Still does all I need, I'll hold onto it, but chokes up a bit on Garageband, Final Cut 4 drags (but I never use it.)**  I upgraded to Mac mini for the Intel processor (for Netflix streaming and any new Intel apps I may desire) and I can see this one with 10.6.8 lasting me for years, since it's running all my old apps and any that are available right now.
    Good luck, whatever you choose, but I still say don't do it unless it's a dual boot situation.
    **These are hardware issues, OS was never an issue except, of course, for the very first OSX.

  • I have a macbook (2006) with 10.6 snow leopard installed. Can i get EA's origin and sims. It has a Intel Core 2 Duo

    I have a Macbook 2006 with 10.6 snow leopard installed. I was wondering if i could get EA's origin download and sims 3 the game? The laptop has an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor.

    Unfortunately no, I have e exact same problem. Our ancient laptops are to the full extent of upgrading available for its time..., I'm trying to find an older version of origin to download to my Mac at the moment... Take my email if you want and if I come across anything ill send you the link. The only other thing I can think of is to upgrade the entire Mac software to the newest version but that includes wiping out the entire system and hard drive and locating the software disc to do that and I'm not even sure if it will process all of that information since apple conciders our laptops "vintage" there's no way to go back because they don't support the software for these older ones anymore.
    Sorry.

  • Universal Binary and Appleworks

    Will my beloved Appleworks be moved to universal binary. I do realize of course I do not do anything that would require a non-Rosetta enviroment. But still...

    According to www.macrumors.com as of today... it is
    supposed to official that AppleWorks will not be
    updated for Universal Binary.
    It works pretty well with Rosetta apparently.
    But there's not a way in the world it ever would have been made a Universal Binary. The whole application would have had to rewritten in Xcode (it was created in Metrowerks Codewarrior which is defunct itself) and new staff hired. Apple were never going to spend tens of thousands of dollars (likely hundreds of thousands) to do this when they've acknowledged they're replacing it.

  • How to tell if an app is "Universal Binary" i.e. Intel-compatible?

    I have various freeware and shareware apps on my new MacBook Pro which I "migrated" over from an old PowerBook G4 which I had been using until getting my new MBP last week. To whatever extent possible, I want to avoid using old PowerPC-chip designed apps, since they'd have to go through Rosetta translation in order to work, but using Rosetta extensively slows down Snow Leopard's snappy response time.
    So, I want to make sure that each app is designed to be Intel-compatible. And if it isn't, I will try to track down a newer version, or if there aren't any, then find a replacement app that will do the same function.
    However, I don't have documentation or "read me" files for most of these older share/freeware applications, so it's not easy to tell just from "looking at them" whether or not they were written in Universal Binary (or in some other Intel-compatible way). One could always look at the date the application was made, and if it's really really old, then one could assume that it's not Intel compatible; and if it's really really new, then one could assume that it is compatible. Unfortunately, most of the apps are from that exact transitional period when some apps were made for PowerPC, some for Intel, and some Universal Binary, etc. -- mostly they're from the 2006-2009 era.
    So: Is there some method for "peering inside" applications to see if they're written in Universal Binary?
    As an example:
    I have a program called flvThing 1.0.1. If I control-click its icon, choose "Show package contents," then go flvThing>Contents>MacOS>flvThing, and do "Get Info" on the excutable file therein, it says "Unix Executable File (Universal)." Does that mean that it was written in Universal Binary?
    If that's true, can I use this same method to peer inside most/any apps and see if they are a "Unix Executable File (Universal)"? Or is there some other method for finding this out?
    Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks.

    Yow! That was easy! Thanks. Worked like a charm. "Solved."
    Two follow-up questions:
    1. I see five ancient apps listed as being "Classic." I presume that I might as well Trash those right now, since no Classic apps will ever run in the Post-Snow-Leopard world? None of these five Classic apps are important or necessary, so trashing them is not a problem.
    2. Some of my Intel apps are listed as being 64-bit, and some as not 64-bit. Should this concern me? Does it matter? I presume that both 64-bit Intel apps and non-64-bit Intel apps will both work perfectly fine on my i5 MacBook Pro 15" -- right?

  • Windows PC User Making The Big Switch To Mac OS X & MacBook 2.0GHz

    I'm from the Philippines. I've been a Windows PC user for around 10 years. I figured it's time to replace my old Pentium III 500MHz/Win98SE with a newer system to keep up with highter system requirements set forth by newer applications.
    The features I looked for include portability, performance, connectivity (built-in WiFi & Bluetooth) and value (not too expensive). I'm initially leaning towards getting another Windows XP-based platform because Windows-based apps are readily available here and getting tech support for the Mac would be a little prob. Also, I just can't afford to leave behind some applications that are somehoew inexistent in the Mac world, but the mere thought that the PC world would soon be shifting to Vista kinda turned me off. Nobody wants to buy a new notebook that would suddenly become obsolete in just a few months or so.
    However, everything changed when online research led me to Apple's homepage (www.apple.com), where I discovered Mac's latest wonder: the Macbook. I heared about the Mac OS X's reputation for stability and performance. They say Macs are less prone to worms & viruses too since most of these things were designed specificically to infect Windows-based platforms. Looks like this is it for me. I'll be getting a MacBook 2.0GHz soon.
    I must admit that what primarily attracted me to the Intel-powered Macbook is the fact that it could now run two operating systems thru "Boot Camp" or Parallels For Mac. Two applications that would give me the capability to run Mac OS X and Windows XP on a single platform. It's like having the best of both worlds.
    For me, this is really great news but I still have questions though. The Macbook is a new release, so I'm still iffy about purchasing it as new technology is notorious for having many annoying quirks and kinks that need to be smoothed out.
    My question is... What are the PROS and CONS of using BootCamp and Parallels respectively? Is Parallels better than the other? Which one would you recommend? Should I decide to install both, will there be any hitches?
    I won't be upgrading for the next 5 years or so. The notebook will likely see some heavy use for Medical Transcription work and maybe occasional gaming (mostly flight sims). This would be my first Mac purchase so I better do it right the first time. So if you have any comments, feedbacks, suggestions... kindly post it here.
    I'll be making the big switch soon.

    I'm running Parallels on an iMac 2.0 GHz, and I absolutely love it! I expected all sorts of glitches and found virtually none. The only drawback I know if is that it treats your USB 2.0 ports like USB 1.1. Otherwise, my Windows XP virtual machine inside of Parallels doesn't seem to know it's not on a PC; it runs smoothly and much faster than on my previous 1.5GHz PC with 1.0 GB RAM. I've loaded Quicken for Windows, MS Office, Norton Anti-Virus, Adobe Acrobat, and several other Windows Apps with no troubles at all. I'm telling you, this software (Parallels) is amazing. I feel like I literally have two computers now.
    I would recommend that you have 2.0 GB of RAM, because while you're running Parallels, you have 2 OS's operating at the same time. But the ability to switch back and forth between the two OS's, share files, cut and paste - well, it's simply awesome, and well worth any extra cost.

  • Deleting Universal Binary Files

    I have just downloaded OS X Lion and I am trying to delete some file on my Macbook to speed things up.  I have downloaded cleanmymac and it had found universal binary files. Can i delete theses.  I am using a mac with 2.4 GHz intel core 2 duo.

    I have some spareparts from my first car, 2th and 3th car, 5th and 6th car... from the 70s and 80s and 90s and we can never know - perhaps one day we need it....  I never dit use one single part yet, because the new cars use more smart devices and parts - the old will never fit... but still I keep all this stuff. My new car have to stay outside, there is no space left in my garage or the carport, because all the spareparts.
    I have also spareparts from my first 8086 PC, Apple II Apple III Lisa 1 + 2, the Commodore 64, Amiga 2000 and all PC and PPC and Mac sience. The parts will not fit in any of the new iPad Post PC Devices anyway. But never know, perhaps one day.... I have to find soon another house - there is no space for me in my bedroom anymore - more spareparts from the first iMac and the MacBooks I do not use anymore because of the iPad...
    So better keep all the Universal Binaries - never know - perhaps one day we need it... ;-)
