Hey there,
As long as you purchase the Mac Version, everything should work great. I recently purchased the game, and have had no problems with it whatsoever. So go ahead and purchase it and have fun. Best of luck!

I have an iMac with OS Lion. The Smartart feature for Office for Mac will not work when I am logged on to my personal user account. It works with other user accounts on the same computer, and it works after "safe start". How can I fix the problem?

Most external drives are formatted for Windows; you should be able to format it for Mac. Plug it in, open Disk utility, highlight the drive and choose the Partition tab. Do not worry about any software on the drive - you don't need it and it will be erased. In the partition tab, choose how many you want, name them, choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and, under the Options button, choose GUID partition scheme. Hit Apply. The drive will be erased and formatted. If that process does not work, contact Seagate and inquire about the Mac compatibility.

Lion - 2004 MS Office for Mac will not work

My 2004 version of Microsoft Office for Mac will not work in Lion. I suspect because this is a PowerPC application. My question is this:
Is there any program out there which will map the PowerPC to an Intel format? Other than trying to seel more products, I am surprised that Apple does not supply a mapping program for products made by Microsoft for the Apple devices.

Eric, can you tell me where please? It's not mentioned on the Lion compatibility pages at all. (http://www.apple.com/uk/macosx/what-is/compatibility.html) nor on the 'how to upgrade' page (http://www.apple.com/uk/macosx/how-to-buy/)

The Sims 2 for Mac vs The Sims 2 for Windows?

Hi,
I've recently purchased a new aluminum imac (2.8ghz, 4gb ram, 500gb hd, 24") and i wanted to know which would be my best option for playing the sims 2?
Should I:
a) buy windows xp (don't want crappy vista :P) install it using bootcamp and load my Sims 2 (pc versions) on to it;
or b) swap my pc sims 2 versions for Mac versions and skip the whole xp/botcamp thing?
Is there any difference (gameplay, graphic, etc issues) between the pc and mac versions?
Will the mac version play better than the pc version using windows xp/bootcamp on my mac?
Are the Mac versions available anywhere or are there only specific places that sell the mac versions? (I live in Australia, btw)
Also, any other handy hints regarding the two options would be super!
Thanks in advance,
Tara

a) iPersonally see no point in buying a license of window and installing it on my Mac, too much tie and effort. Also, iAm not going to put windows ANYWHERE NEAR my iMac. Lastly, there are some issues with windows itself running on a Mac, but not system endangering ones, just things like sound and drivers.
b) There will be little difference, The Sims 2 is ported by the AWESOME people down at Aspyr and other then the patches being released later than the windows version iSee no point in installing windows just for The Sims, buy the Mac Version! Although it will be costly as the games cost quite a bit and there are tons of expansions you may need to replace.
c) iWould think that the Mac version would work better than Bootcamp+Sims because you have one less software compatibility to worry about, also you avoid all the crashing of windows.
d)Tons of stores sell Mac games, Apple Stores for one! In fact the Apple Store Online has free shipping on [just] The Sims 2, but not the expansions, live near an Apple Store?
Try looking online for your major electronics store's site, chances are if they sell Macs (and are thus Apple Resellers) they carry Mac Software and games too!
Hope that helps!

The Web Agent for IIS will not work

Environment: NT4 Server, IIS4
I try to install the Web Agent in use with IIS but IIS fails to load the dll. After the installation I can read the event-log :
The HTTP server was unable to load the ISAPI Application 'C:\Oracle\Ora81\ord\web\bin\wsciis81.dll'. The data is the error.
And the Browser gives me:
A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.
What can be wrong?

Note: On Windows NT, use \ instead of / to separate file system directory
paths.
1. Check the Web Agent's log file.
Look in <oracle_home>/ord/web/logs for a log file in the form
wsc_<yyyymmdd>_<pid>.log. If the file exists, review it for errors,
then take the necessary action to remedy the problem. Possible
problems that might be logged are non-recoverable errors in the Web
Agent's configuration file <oracle_home>/ord/web/admin/wsc.cfg. If the
configuration file or the <oracle_home>/ord/web directory hierarchy
doesn't exist, then re-do the installation.
2. Check the Web Agent's "last-chance" error log file.
If the <oracle_home>/ord/web/logs directory exists, but there are no
log files, check in the %SystemRoot% directory on Windows NT or the
/tmp directory on Unix for a file named wsclstch.err. This is the Web
Agent's "last-chance" error log file. The Web Agent will try to write
to this file if it encounters a fundamental startup error, such as a
problem initializing CORE or NLS, creating a log file, or opening its
message file. If the file exists, review it for errors, then take the
necessary action to remedy the problem. (In a command window on
Windows NT, type set SystemRoot to find where the wsclstch.err file
would be written.)
3. Check the web server configuration.
If the Web Agent failed to create either its normal log file or its
"last-chance" error log file, verify that the Web Agent has been
configured correctly for the particular web server being used and that
the web server is running.
o Microsoft IIS
Use the Internet Service Manager to verify that IIS has been
configured correctly for the Web Agent. Review the installation
and configuration instructions in the wsciis.html or wsciis.txt
files to verify that the Web Agent has been configured correctly
and to make any changes or fixes necessary. Check that the filter
is up and running and that the virtual path has been configured.
To check the filter, select the web site, then click the
properties button (or right-click the web site icon). Select the
Filters tab. The Web Agent should appear in the list with a green
up-arrow. If it appears with a red down-arrow, check the Windows
NT event log for any errors relating to the Web Agent. IIS
doesn't always write detailed error messages. For example, if a
DLL used by the Web Agent can't be located, then IIS typically
logs the fact that a load error occurred along with the message
"the data was the error". Note that the installation and
configuration instructions describe the case where the filter
must be installed manually if there were no existing filters
registered at the time the Web Agent for IIS was installed.
If the filter looks OK, check the oracle_intermedia_bin virtual
path by clicking the properties button (or right-click the
virtual path icon). The path should reference the
<oracle-home>\ord\web\bin directory, which should contain the
wsciis81.dll file. In the properties window, select the directory
security tab, then click the anonymous access and authentication
control button. Verify that Basic authentication has been checked
and that Windows NT challenge/response has been cleared.
To function correctly, the Oracle8i home must be specified
correctly for IIS. Use the Oracle Home Selector to verify that
the Oracle8i home is specified as the default home. Use the
System Control Panel to verify that the Oracle8i home /bin
directory is specified prior to any other Oracle homes in the
PATH environment variable.

OneDrive App for Mac Will Not Work

I'd like to use OneDrive's cloud storage bc my documents are primarily created with MS's Office products. However, when I download and install the app for my MacBook Pro (which meets or exceeds all necessary requirements) I am unable to do so.
When introducing the OneDrive folder and (attempting to) choose a location I get the following error "Your OneDrive folder can't be created in the location you selected. Try a different location. Make sure that the location isn't on a removable drive, or on a disk that has a case-sensitive format."
I suspect this has something to do with AAPL's sandboxing restrictions. I've seen this question around several message boards but never have I found a solution...
Is there anyone who can help with this please? Or perhaps suggest an alternative storage platform that can save Word/Excel/PPoint- formatted docs?
Thank you-
Jon

DM for Mac will not sync groups from my address book

After spending 40 minutes with BB tech support, I was told that the new DM for Mac will not sync the groups in addressbook. They say maybe in the next version of DM.
Blackberry Pearl 8100
Intel Mac
OSX 10.6.1

Neither does DM for the PC... I wish it would also (and since DM for the PC has been through many upgrades, I don't know that you will see that added so soon.

I just created a new profile/user on my MacBook Pro. My pointer/mouse. It works fine in my older user profile, but when I go to the new profile my mac will not respond to clicks. Mouse moves but will not click. Already tried restarting and the pram zap.

I just created a new profile/user on my MacBook Pro. My pointer/mouse on my trackpad. It works fine in my older user profile, but when I go to the new profile my mac will not respond to clicks. The Mouse moves but will not click. Already tried restarting and the pram zap. The problem starts when I log out of my main profile. I get to the login screen and my laptop stops responding to clicks. When I manage to make my way back to my main profile the mouse works perfectly. Should I just delete the new profile and try again?

If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.
