Play old games on a new mac???

I've got a lot of old educational games (Shcolastic, JumpStart...) at my home but they simply don't run on my iMac!
Isn't there some way to run OS 9 games on 10.5?

Hi aglifribbason;
You can read more about Basilisk here.
It is capable of executing some OS 9 programs on Intel Mac. It is not simple to install. There is also some question as to it's legality because you must get a copy of the ROM code for a Mac in order to install.

Yes,There Are Ways You Can Play Windows Games On A Mac,It`s Called The W.I.N.E. Project And The WINE Project Allows You To Operate Windows Programs On A Mac And Linux System.Remember That The WINE Project Can Be Unstable At Times,And May Cause Your Mac To Freeze Up.The Best Way To Play Windows Games On A Mac Is By Using Something Called VMware Unity.It`s An Emulator That Can Emulate 3D Windows Games.Below Is Some Instructions On How To Get It And Set It Up.
-------VMWare Unity
1.Go To The Official Vmware Website And Go To The Vmware (Mac) Section.
2.Find The VMware Workstation For Mac And Download It.
4.After Downloading VMware,Install It.
5.Open Vmware Workstation
6.Before You Create A New Virtual Machine,You Need To Have A Clean Copy Of Windows XP Or Higher.
7.After That,Create A New Virtual Machine That Has Enough RAM And CPU To Emulate The Game You Want To Play.
8.Start The Virtual Machine And Install Windows.
9.After Installing Windows On The Virtual Machine And Your On The Windows Desktop,Install The VMware Additions.
10.After That,ALWAYS RESTART THE VIRTUAL MACHINE.
11.Install The Game You Want,Have A CD or ISO Image.
12.After Installing The Game,Start The Game In The Emulator And Look For A Button That Says "Unity Mode" And Click It.
13.After That,All The Applications You Were Running In The Virtual Machine Will Go Right To Your Mac Dock And You Can Play The Game Right On Your Mac Desktop.
14.When Your Finished With Your Game,Close It And Open The Main VMware Application And Click "Stop Unity" And It Will Restore All Programs To Virtual Machine Desktop And There You Can Power Off Your Virtual Machine.
Vmware Is Way More Stable Than The WINE Project And I Suggest Trying That.If You Need Some Help With This On Your Mac Then Add [email protected] To Your Contacts And I Can Help You Set It Up On TeamViewer.I Hope This Helps And Tell Me If It Does!

Playing an old game on a new Mac

I just bought Quake 3 Arena for my MacBook Pro and when I try to install the game it says the classic environment is not supported and won't allow me to install it. Is there anyway I can install it or will a 12 year old game not play on a new mac?

Just to repeat: He WILL be able to RUN the game on his Mac as there is a Universal Binary version available (I know because I have it and have used it in the week since I've upgraded to Lion). It's just difficult to INSTALL because one has to manually extract files from the installation CD and then locate and install the UB version from wherever the developer stores it on the net. I gave him a link to the application and a link to the germ of some instructions for installing - from the CD - the other bits needed for the application to run.
Here's a little more, but I'm not interested in spending any more time tracking down every little tidbit of information needed for a self-confessed ignoramus (no offense intended) to whack together a 10-year-old game for a brand-new Mac:
http://forums.macrumors.com/archive/index.php/t-295870.html
"all you need is the pak0.pk3 from your quake disc. put it into the baseq3 subfolder of the universal binary. the pak0.pk3 file should be about 460mb and has all the textures.
you can use ioquake3 if none of the other universal doohickeys work - it worked for me. http://ioquake3.org/"

Full Snow Leopard installation instructions here:

NOTE: STEP ONE of the instructions must currently be completed on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac and the resulting modified Snow Leopard.cdr install file can then be moved over to your Mountain Lion Mac for completion of the remaining steps. A recent poster has offered a solution for Mountain Lion users that do not have access to Snow Leopard or Lion Macs.
NOTE 2: Computer games with complex, 3D or fast motion graphics make not work well or at all in virtualization.

Trying to play old itunes purchases on new mac

I am trying to move my music over from my old Mac, but all of the songs I purchased through itunes will not play because"you already have authorized 5 computers with your apple id". When I go into my account on itunes store, it says I have 0 computers authorized. How can I deauthorize other computers when they aren't even recognized on my current mac?

Playing Old Games

I've been trying to play old games on my emac, it has Classic on it, but I can't get Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego to install, the one game I really want to play. lol! Is there a way I can make it work, I am desperate to? I know it was originally made for 7.something but I thought it should be able to install on Classic but it won't. Can I hook up my old G3? Would that work? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. This is also the only Carmen Game that is not OSX (native).

I will try and boot Classic natively when I get home.
There is no such beast as boot Classic natively. You either boot Mac OS 9, or use Classic. Powerbook G4s with USB ports on the rear of the machine can boot Mac OS 9. Powerbook G4 with USB ports on the side of their keyboards can only use Classic. Mac OS X 10.5 and later don't allow running the Classic environment, but will on Powerbook G4s with USB ports on the rear of the machine allow booting into Mac OS 9.
If your Mac supports booting into Mac OS 9, you will have installed the Mac OS 9 drivers as stated here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA26834?viewlocale=en_US
and then installed Mac OS 9 that either came bundled with your Mac, or later retail version of Mac OS 9 which looks like * with no update or upgrade on the label. Finally, Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Startup Disk will let you switch to Mac OS 9 by selceting the Mac OS 9 system folder and selecting restart. Macs post the 9.2.1 release can only use their prebundled Mac OS 9 disc or restore discs to install Mac OS 9. Macs released after the July 2002 Jaguar 10.2 release, have a restore installer that installs the Mac OS 9 system folder on their prebundled discs.
If your Mac has 10.4.11 or earlier installed and supports Classic, Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Classic can be set to launch the Classic environment when an application is launched, or your machine boots into Mac OS X, or when you manually select it from the System Preference. That same restriction of installer discs applies, but no Mac OS 9 driver needs to be installed. Unfortunately Classic lacks certain driver support for graphics and sound making some games lack any support whatsoever.

How do I move all files from an old PPC to a new Mac Mini?

How do I move all files from an old PPC to a new Mac Mini?

The new mini has a Firewire 800 port. Likely the PPC version only has Firewire 400. The OP will need a converter cable which is why I was asking first about what hardware is available and how much is being copied.
Probably go with using the external hard drive if you decide all you want are data files.

How do I move photoshop from old windows computer to new mac?

I've been trying to move Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 from my old PC to my new mac. I understand that you have to de-authorize it on the PC and then re-download it on the mac, using the same license key, but when I re-download it it's the PC version, not the mac. How do I download the mac version?
Thank you!

You can't run Windows programs on OS X, only in Windows in a virtual machine in OS X or via BootCamp.
Just download the Adobe program for OS X and ask about switching the license so it works on the OS X platform.
It might be you have to upgrade to a later version anyway and pehaps they will give you a upgrade price instead of having to buy the full verison, talk to them.

photo shop elements 12
What is your program? You specifically ask about Premiere Elements but your ID = photo shop elements 12.
It is confusing why Reynolds Films 2014 is replying to your thread, talking about Photoshop Elements.
Assuming some version of Premiere Elements currently on some Windows operating system.
What version of Premiere Elements do you have and on what computer operating system does it exist?
How did you install your version of Premiere Elements on Windows - installation files from an online purchase or
from installation disc from purchase of the product in box packaging?
What installation files or installation disc do you have?
You cannot install Premiere Elements Windows installation files on a Mac computer. If you want Premiere Elements
for your Mac computer, you will need to buy a version of Premiere Elements Mac that is supported by your Mac computer.
If you purchased Premiere Elements Windows in box packaging, it probably came with 2 installation discs, one for
Windows and one for Mac. If that is the case, use the Mac installation disc to try to install the program on your
Mac computer.
But, we need the details from you in order to sort out what is and what needs to be done.
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thanks.

After migrating a new Mac Book Pro from Time Capsule, I noticed that I lost a group of Favorites on the older iMac. The puzzling thing is that the Favorites are on my iPhone--not the old iMac or the new Mac Book Pro. How do I get the Favorites back?

If you are syncing using iCloud, try going to System Preferences/iCloud (computers) and checking Safari. If it is checked, try deselecting it, wait 10-15 seconds, and then check it again.
