The Sims 2 Expansion Packs and iMac Intels

Hi everyone.
I have The Sims 2, University, Pets and Open for Business and I have a question. I have downloaded the patches from Aspyr so I'm no longer getting the dreaded PowerPC question at the beginning... however, when I played the Sims on my PC, I think that it always used the original Sims disc to play, not the expansion discs. Does anyone know why my Mac is asking me to put in the University disc when I assume it should be asking me to put in the original Sims 2 disc? I thought that the expansions were just upgrades and that the game always required the original disc to be in the drive to play? Can anyone advise on this? How does it work if I want to swap between Pets and Open for Business for example? Do I have to have each disc in to play? Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Tracy

First off, is it osx app or just windows. Second, if it is osx is it Universal binary or just ppc, or just intel. If it is just intel, you are fine. If it is ppc, then i would recommend picking up a windows os, and installing it in bootcamp. I have been running a few games in bootcamp and they all run great. I do not have the Santa Rosa MBP, i have the older 2.33 2gb ram, but this laptop runs multiple games at full graphics mode. You shouldnt have any problems running or installing the game.

    I did the SMC reset for my iMac intel-based and now it won't turn on. What can I do to fix this?

    Well, first things first... is the power cord fully plugged into the back of the iMac (and the wall, for that matter)?
    Make sure the wall outlet has power, too... I've scratched my head over stupid issues where I forgot to flip a wall switch.
    If the outlet does have power, then try doing a pram zap. Command + option + P + R (hold those at startup).
    If the machine is receiving power, you should be able to see some LEDs if you look through the bottom grate of the machine to the left of the RAM door.

  • How do I unlock an iphone 5 with Sprint. The SIM is in and Sprint gave me the unlock code, but what are the steps to unlock it?

    How do I unlock an iphone 5 with Sprint 15.1 at IOS 7.0.6 IMEI 99 000320 012095 0 .
    The SIM is in and Sprint gave me the unlock code, but what are the steps to unlock it?

    There is no such thing as an unlock code.   Sprint may have processed the unlock, and then requested you restore the iPhone using iTunes to complete it. But that's it. There is no code to enter, and nowhere to enter it any way.

    Hi, AlexKot.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you are experiencing an issue with your iPhone searching for service.  If you have not resolved this issue, I would recommend trying the troubleshooting steps in the article below.

  • System Image for G5 (PPC) and iMac (Intel Core 2 Duo)

    hello,
    I would like to know if there is a way to create a common system image Mac OS X 10.4.10 that I can "deploy" in out two mac labs. One with G5 (PPC-based machines) and the other with iMac (Intel-based machines).
    If yes, how can I do that ? with a script ?
    I tried to boot a G5 with image made on IMac and it didn't boot...
    Anybody can help me ?
    Thanks a lot for your cooperation,

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    As they are not comparable versions of Mac OS X, a dual boot configuration would be needed. One with a GUID (for Intel) formatting, and one with Apple Partition Map (for PowerPC). This Mac OS X hints page explains how to make a dual boot configuration:

  • FCP and iMac Intel?

    Hi,
    I've recently been greenlighted to purchase an iMac and FCP for a video project. I've heard that FCP does not run on iMacs with the Intel processor as of yet. Is this true? If so, when will FCP be available to run on the Intel Macs? I need to make my purchase the first of March. Should I stick with the Power PC or go with the new Intel Mac?
    Thanks!
    Roy

    http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/topquestions.html
    Often a quick search will turn up your answer.
    Since you need to make your purchase the first of March, and the Universal version is slated to be available "before the end of March 2006", you'd need to find out from Apple whether they'd ship the Universal version or whether you'd have to go through the crossgrade process if you ordered Final Cut Studio along with your Mac on the first of March.
    If they won't ship the Universal version, and you can't afford to wait until near the end of March to get Final Cut up and running on it, that answers your PowerPC vs. Intel question.
    Edit: also, you aren't going to be able to purchase FCP by itself. You need to buy Final Cut Studio. FCP is no longer sold separately.
    Edit 2: if you look at Final Cut Studio in the Apple Store online, it definitely isn't the Universal version as they specifically say "Buy Final Cut Studio today for your PowerPC-based Mac and you will be eligible to purchase the Universal version, which will run on both Intel- and PowerPC-based Macs, for $49 through our crossgrade program." Whether that will be different on March 1st or not... who knows.

  • Exchanging files between eMac and iMac Intel ( GUID Scheme hard drive bug )

    Hi,
    I have to exchange big file and folder regularly between 2 Mac ( Home and work ), before it was easy because both computer are eMac ( 700 mhz combo drive OS X 10.3.9 ) I used my firewire backup drive to transferred files.
    Now I change my home computer for a new iMac intel, naturally I had to format my firewire backup drive to GUID scheme to be able to boot with, but now when I connect this drive to the eMac it refuse to mount; when I connect it to the eMac a window appeared asking to format the drive, when I check with Disk Utility the application see the drive but refused to mount it.
    Is there a hack to force the eMac to read and write to a GUID scheme drive?
    Cheers,
    Luc

    Macs running an OS earlier than 10.4.x can't recognize the GUID partition table. The easiest fix is to update the eMac to run OS X 10.4.8
    There are tips online for formatting an external drive to be bootable for both Intel and PPC Macs (e.g. this link) but it appears those tips still require the PPC Mac to be running 10.4.x

    Zeev

    Hi Stephan,
    I wanted to add onto Zeev's precise answer.
    First of all we appreciate your feedback, we will look into why the above mentioned links are not updated as expected.
    Regretfully our SDN page is a bit outdated and we are in the midst of updating it.
    Currently, AccAD 2.2 SP4 as available for download and has already been adopted by some of the main SAP customers and in addition by new customers.
    The release notes indicating the differences can be found as part of the installations but I hope to provide the 2.2 SP4 notes later this week - in a formal SDN announcement.
    Further more as for additional updates:
    - AccAD 2.3 is currently undergoing validation phase and is expected to enter Ramp Up phase in October of 2011.
    - AccAD 2.3 as with every version brings with it new capabilities and increased performance and quality as well as a more up-to-date PAM.
    - We are currently in the planning phase of the next AccAD version to begin development very soon and would be very happy to hear the feedback that you or any other of our customer base may have.  To do so, I encourage you to contact me directly - as i cannot post an email address here - my details can be found in my business card found in this forum.
    - We will be attending and presenting at SAP TechEd Las Vegas and TechEd Sapphire Madrid - we would be happy to meet up in case you will be present.
    All the Best,

  • A refresher: what actually is the SIM card for and WHY is it removable?

    I am sure that this topic has been addressed before. However, since I am a bit familiar as to WHY smilar SIM cards are removable and changeable in, say, European phones, I am wondering WHY the iPhone has one, and what purpose does it serve especially since the iPhone is so closely related to its own particular flavor of ATT service..
    Thanks!

    A SIM card or Subscriber Identity Module is a portable memory chip. The SIM card makes it easy to switch to a new phone by simply sliding the SIM out of the old phone and into the new one. The SIM holds personal identity information, cell phone number, and on some models of phones, teh phone book along with other data. It can be thought of as a mini hard disk that automatically activates the phone into which it is inserted.
    A SIM card can come in very handy. For example, let's say your phone runs out of battery power at a friend's house. Assuming you both have SIM-based phones, you can remove the SIM card from your phone and slide it into your friend's phone to make your call. Your carrier processes the call as if it were made from your phone, so it won't count against your friend's minutes.
    If you upgrade your phone there's no hassle involved. The SIM card is all you need. Just slide it into the new phone and you're good to go. You can even keep multiple phones for different purposes. An inexpensive phone in the glove compartment, for example, for emergency use, one phone for work and another for home. Just slide your SIM card into whatever phone you wish to use.
    High-end cell phones can be very attractive and somewhat pricey. If you invest in an expensive phone you might want to keep it awhile. Using a SIM card, it is even possible to switch carriers and continue to use the same phone. The new carrier will simply issue you their own SIM card. The phone must be unlocked, however, and operate on the new carrier's frequency or band.
    A SIM card provides an even bigger advantage for international travelers -- simply take your phone with you and buy a local SIM card with minutes. For example, a traveler from the U.S. staying in the U.K. can purchase a SIM card across the pond. Now the phone can be used to call throughout England without paying international roaming charges from the carrier back home.
    SIM cards are used with carriers that operate on the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) network. The competing network is Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), a technology created by U.S. company Qualcomm. As of fall 2005, CDMA cell phones and CDMA carriers do not support SIM cards in most parts of the world, though this is changing. A CDMA SIM card called the R-UIM (Re-Useable Identification Module) was made available in China in 2002, and will eventually be available worldwide. Expectations for the future include a cell phone market that supports both SIM (GSM) and R-UIM (CDMA) cards by default.
