Rise of Nations game on Intel iMac not working ?

I have a 20" iMac Intel 2ghz Ram and the upgraded graphics memory (256mb) and I tried installing Rise of Nations but it doenst work, It installs okay and even goes through the intro movie but then it just hangs on the main title screen. Has anyone with an intel Mac got it working ?
It would be a shame that I couldnt get it to work when its not that old a game.

Has nobody got Rise of Nations ? surely someone has at least tried installing it ? I'm just hoping that its a rosetta thing and maybe a fix comes out for it to work ?

  • New keyboard and intel iMac not working at startup with Leopard. Help?

    Hi,
    I'm using an Intel Core Duo 20" iMac and Apples' new keyboard. With Tiger, at first the keyboard wasn't recognized by the system during startup. After installing keyboard software update 1.2 everything worked fine.
    Now I've installed Leopard and I'm back to where I was: the keyboard again isn't recognized at startup, so I'm forced to use the remote during startup to change to the windows partition , and I'm not able to reset PRAM settings.
    Anyone with a solution?
    Thanks

    Start-up commands are NOT recognized on Core Duos - YET...
    there is an expected firmware update in the near future
    for all start-up commands - use the old keyboard
    ALSO - holding down the menu button on your remote during start-up allows you to select a start-up drive while moving with the control function
    +found that by accident...+
    Thanks,

  • PPC games on intel imac...

    Just a quick question. im looking at buying Halo for mac but im worried it may not work well because it would have been designed for PPC chips & i have an intel mac.
    i know rosetta runs while PPC apps are being used so im thinking this will slow the game/computer down too much.
    any thoughts?
    thanks

    Hi DJstylus,
    I'm not a Halo player, but I gather from http://www.joystiq.com/2006/08/26/Mac-Halo-now-with-Universal-Binary/ that Halo is now available as "Universal Binary", so no need for Rosetta, and , presumably, no problem in running it on an Intel iMac.
    (Edit - I've just confirmed this at http://www.destineerstudios.com/support/halo.html It may be necessary to purchase the orginal version and then apply the update though. It wasn't altogether clear from the instructions)
    Cheers

  • Golf games on Intel iMac

    My dad will be getting an iMac soon, and I really want to get him a golf game for it - he can't actually play golf any more, so I'm hoping it will be the next best thing!
    I note that Tiger Woods 2005 seems to be the latest but is not universal (understandably). Has anyone tried it, or even the 2003 version, on an Intel machine? Any ideas how (if at all) it runs?
    TIA, Matthew

    A couple of people have run Tiger Woods 2005 on an Intel iMac(one, two.) To see the relevant material in the first link, click on Read More in the review by RF.

  • Intel iMac not reading time correctly

    G'day
    This is pretty desperate. I've got a 3000+ line applescript that automates a mail room for a large company.
    They want to buy an intel iMac to exclusively run the script, but the script uses time based files for error reporting.
    On my intel iMac the files read as 1st January 1904 12.00.00 am not matter what I do.
    Are Apple fixing this, or is there a workaround?

    imac intel monitor not working

    Hi Robby62,
    please do report back.
    Also, after you have successfully installed the BootCamp Drivers from the Leopard DVD (which are version 2.0, btw.) you might want to download the 2.1 version update here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/bootcampupdate21 forwindowsvista32.html
    The update also has to be installed while in Windows.
    Have Fun

  • Games on intel imac

    having just received my new intel iMac, it would appear there is no Nanosaur 2 - which is very disappointing for my 4 year old son! Could somebody tell me if this is either;
    hiding somewhere on the hard drive and I'm just too stupid to find it (if so, where is it?)
    or, unavailable for the intel macs (if so, will it be some time soon)

    As I understand it. Nanosuar2 won't work on the Intel Macs, yet. They are working on it. They realease is not yet avalible... Sorry.. Hope this helps you out..

  • Non native games on intel iMac 17"?

    Hi,
    I'm awaiting delivery of a 17" intel iMac with 1gb of ram. I have a number of games that i believe don't have patdhes to run on the intel machines and wondered if anyone knows how they run> Here's the list:
    CALL OF DUTY
    HALO
    FORD RACING 2
    MEDAL OF HONOUR
    THE INCREDIBLES
    ALIENS VERSUS PREDATOR 2
    RAINBOW 6
    I also have unreal o4, doom3 and quake 4 but i believe these have patches. Also, how bad is the hit for Photoshop under Rossetta?
    Cheers.

    Hi,
    here is a link with info on the performance of games running under Rosetta:

    As for Photoshop. Haven't got first hand experience, but Photoshop Elements is slow but useable with 1GB

  • PC games on Intel iMac?

    with boot camp will that allow me to install and play my PC games on a new Intel iMac?
    looking at trading in our home Dell for a new iMac but want to be able to play games
    thanks

    Once you setup Bootcamp it's like you're on a PC desktop/notebook. I am able to play Half-Life 2 on my MacBook Pro on high quality without a problem. Just make sure the iMac you get can handle the games, and RAM is important.

  • IMovie 06 with Intel iMac not recognizing camera

    I am using iMovie 06 and love it, however since I have been using it on my Intel iMac, iMovie will not recognize my Canon ZR 70. I thought that it was possibly not compatible, however at work we have an Intel iMac and are running the exact same version on iMovie and the camera is recognized. It is possible that when I installed iMovie 06 that I forgot to select recognize camera; is there a preference or something that I can toss to allow my iMovie to recognize the camera?

    Eric,
    I plugged the HD back in and went to Disk Utility....none of the buttons (Verify Disk, Repair Disk etc) are selectable, and the "Mount" button is also not clickable.
    When this same hard drive is connected to the iBook, the name we've given it appears on the desktop and we can successfully use the device. On this iMac, the name doesn't appear, for example it shows
    149.1 GB etc etc etc
    Macintosh HD
    409.4 GB Iomega
    (name not shown)
    Also, and what may be the problem, is that when I select the external HD and click "Info", it says S.M.A.R.T. Status is Not Supported. How can I get this to work?
    Thanks

  • Intel imac not running Canon EOS Software?!

    I have just bought a new intel imac G5 (20"). My Canon 'Camera Window' software won't launch when I connect my Canon EOS 5D. Image Browser will launch when clicked on, but cannot see my 5D, or get Camera Window to respond. Camera window is completely unresponsive, does not show any window at all, but needs to be forced to quit as it seems to be hanging invisibly in a state of semi-launched limbo! I am a pro photographer and need this to start working asap. I have been researching the net for 3 days for a solution, updated the Canon software with the latest versions, reinstalled the orig Canon CD's, updated again, repaired permissions etc etc. In a real state and need to know if this will run as it does on my old ibook G3. Is there any way to get it working on the new intel imac's?! By the way, I'm running 10.4.6. Help VERY MUCH appreciated! THANK YOU!

    I received this reply today regarding this subject;
    Thank you for writing to us regarding your Canon EOS 5D camera. I am
    sorry to hear of your experience with the EOS Capture Software and your
    Mac ProBook.
    My name is Chris Easdon and I am the Contact Center Supervisor for
    On-line Support here at Canon ITS. Your latest reply was escalated to me
    for assistance.
    Immediately upon receipt of your inquiry I contacted our Senior
    Technical Support Engineer (TSE) to obtain further clarification on this
    issue. I apologize for the delay in getting back to you, but I just
    received their response and want to share my findings with you.
    According to the Senior TSE, "Yes, Canon USA as well as Canon Inc. are
    aware of the problems connecting EOS Digital SLR's to Intel based Mac
    computers like the customers Mac Book Pro. It is not a problem with Mac
    OS 10.4.6 it is a problem with the Intel based Mac's since the cameras
    work fine on OS 10.4.6 when running on a PowerPC based system. Canon
    Inc. is working on an update and hopefully so is Apple, but at this time
    we do not have any further information. Perhaps the customer should take
    this up with Apple since it is their Intel based Mac implementation that
    is causing the problem. A card reader is our only suggested workaround
    at present."
    So, as described by the TSE, your camera's software is fully compatible
    with the MAC OS 10.4.6. Unfortunately, there are issues with the
    configuration on your ProBook.
    As the TSE indicated, using a card reader until a fix is developed would
    be the best option available to you at this time.
    I apologize for any inconvenience this causes you. Please let me know if
    I can be of any assistance to you.

  • Intel iMac Not Connecting to My Airport Express

    I have had a 15" G4 Powerbook for about 1 1/2 years now and have not had any problems with my Airport Express. I purchased an Intel iMac back in February and everything has been working perfectly until about two weeks ago. (I think this may coincide with the update 10.4.9).
    At first, the Airport would not connect at all after being put into sleep, either if I let it sit or pushed the button myself. I would have to restart to get it to work. Now, whenever I attempt to connect to my Airport Express it says there is an error and only gives the options of trying again or just clicking OK. If I try again it does nothing, but if I click okay the Airport card in my iMac seems to go down completely and I am unable to see ANY wireless networks at all! It comes back eventually and automatically connects to an unsecure network somewhere else in my apartment building, but if I try to connect back to my Airport Express the same thing happens again.
    The odd part is that my Powerbook connects flawlessly, and also sets up the Airport Express if I reset it (something the iMac will not do). I have read through some of the threads and see there is an issue with the release of 10.4.9, but my Powerbook has it as well and doesn't have any issues.
    I also have Vista premium installed and that has absolutely no problems connecting to the network either, which is irksome every time I see a PC vs Mac ad.
    I have tried a couple of the remedies offered up: deleting the SystemPreferences folder in the Library (couldn't find it), creating a new location (didn't work), and reinstalling OSX (worked for a day after the 10.4.9 update).
    If there is anyone with similar problems who has found a solution, please let me know, as I don't really like using someone elses network, but don't really have a choice if I need to use my iMac. Thank you for your help.

    Hello sgraziano,
    I suggest taking a look at this article named iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398.
    Follow these steps to troubleshoot the above issues.
    Be sure that you are in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and then on again.If unable to do so, see this article.
    Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and Cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and indicate that they are connected to the Internet.If not, refer to your network administrator or ISP for assistance.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you are connected. Then tap > and Forget this Network. Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network again.
    Note: You will need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your desired network requires one.
    Turn your Wi-Fi router off and then on again2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
    Update your device to the latest version of software.
    Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2.For AirPort Base Stations, see this article for information about firmware updates.
    And this section at the bottom if that troubleshooting does not resolve hte issue:
    Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network
    Verify that you are attempting to connect your desired Wi-Fi network.
    Make sure you are entering your Wi-Fi password correctly.Passwords may be case sensitive and may contain numbers or special characters.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • TS4185 Facetime on new IMAC not working

    My apple id doesn't work at all (says network issues).  I looked at the troubleshooting guide and everything is set as it should.  I tried going to Facetime
    "preferences" but I can't even select it.  Operating on 10.7.4.  I bought this computer today and facetime has not worked at all or ever had the preferences option able to be selected.  Help.

    Same thing happens to me.
    I purchased OS X 10.8.2 and am trying to use Facetime on my Intel Based iMac .  I have repeatedly done all of the following:
    #1 -
    Verify your Mac meets the FaceTime system requirements
      Model Name:
    iMac
      Model Identifier:
    iMac9,1
      Processor Name:
    Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed:
    2.93 GHz
    #2 
    Verify that you are using a valid Apple ID at appleid.apple.com.
    #3
    Check that your email address is verified in  FaceTime > Preferences.   This info. from Apple is wrong.  My FaceTime Preferences are grayed out!
    I can't believe that Apple has gotten so bad!  As my User Name shows, this iMac is my 18th Mac.  I began with an Apple IIe.  For heaven's sake if anyone knows why FaceTime doesn't work given all I've tried please give me a clue as to what I need to do.

  • Second monitor on iMac not working with Lion

    I have a mid-2011 Thunderbolt 21.5" iMac. A secondary monitor is connected to the iMac with a Mini DisplayPort-to-HDMI cable (a single cable, not an adaptor and cable).
    When I was running Snow Leopard, the monitor worked just fine. After upgrading to Lion, the second monitor just has a black screen, and quickly goes into power save mode.
    I have already tried resetting the NVRAM (as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379) and resetting the SMC (as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964).
    Has anyone seen this problem? Any other suggestions for solutions?

    same here, just performed the upgrade to Lion and my secondary Samsung screen (direct HDMI cable) do not work anymore (I have a mid 2011 iMac 21.5'').
    I have tried the tricks mentioned on the following discussion:
    No Signal on HDMI TV After Lion Upgrade
    ie open terminal
    cd /System/Library/Displays/Overrides/DisplayVendorID-410c/
    sudo mv DisplayProductID-0  DisplayProductID-0.old
    Reboot after entering the commands
    But it is not working, the developper clearly messed up the video output in Lion OS!!!
    Let me know if you have a solution, I am reduced  to single screen use in the meantime... and regret the upgrade...
    Thanks
