Unable to Install Sims 2 onto Mac.

When I go to drag the folder into my HD, it copies but when I open it, it says "You can't open the application, The Sims 2, because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. What does this mean?

Cheapest solution would be to install Snow Leopard on a bootable external hard drive and install Sim 2. Then boot to the external drive and run Sim 2.
You could also purchase the updated version of Sim 2
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-sims-2-super-collection/id883782620?mt=12
Note that it requires Mavericks and later. You man be able to get a version that runs on Lion or Mountain Lion by:
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app

Help installing PSE10/Premier onto Mac from PC without software CD

Help installing PSE10/Premier onto Mac from PC without software CD. I can't find my software box anywhere..... Is there a way to locate my serial number within the programs? AND how can I download the programs from your site- all I see are downloads for the new PSE 11.

You really need the DVD box which also has the serial numbers on the back. If you registered the product you can get the serial numbers by logging-in to My Adobe but that's not much help as only the current version 11 is available for download.

Unable to install Flash on older Mac-running 10.5.8

Help! Is anyone else unable to install an older version of Flash on their less-then brand new computer(PowerMacG4)?? I'm running 10.5.8. I've downloaded the Uninstaller(which has a pink x in the upper-right corner) but two versions of Flash remain on my computer. When I try to install the version of Flash which adobe has recommended I get this message:
         Adobe®Flash®Player cannot be installed.
         Devices with PowerPC processsors are no longer
         supported. Click below to download the last version
         Flash Player for PowerPC.
         Get Flash Player for PowerPC
I then click the"Get Flash…” which takes me to the same page which asks for the operating system I have and the version I need, I type in what they offer and go through the same thing.

Pulled this paragragh from an article talking about Apple pulling Flash from iOS in favor of HTML5..."Mac users take note: Flash requires OS X 10.6 or later running on an Intel platform since Adobe removed support for PowerPC Macs in Flash 10"
Not really sure what that all means, I believe I am not intel but PC. I will look into HTML5

Unable to Install AbobeFlashPlayer 16 on Mac running Yosemite 10.10.1

When i try to download the software in which it downloads the installer i get a ".mdip" file that all it does when opened is open a TextEdit script on my mac and NOT the AdobeFlashPlayer Installer and clearly i am unable to install the latest AdobeFlashPlayer.
I attached a photo of the file that gets downloaded off of adobes official site that installs the latest software, and i also attached a file of the text that is opened when i selected the file that i downloaded off of the website.
If anyone can help me that would be Great!

This means that your computer (or some software on your computer) added the '.mdip' extension to your dmg downloads.
Suggestion: download the offline installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg
If it also gets that .mdip extension, remove it, then run the dmg installer.
If you have more questions, please ask in the Flash Player forum.

Unable to install Flash Player on Mac

I am unable to install the latest version of Flash Player on my MacBook Pro. When the installer starts, the download hangs at 25%. Subsequent tries seem to have the download starting (and getting stuck) at 25%. I have tried uninstalling and fixing permissions and restarting; same result. Any advice?

Hi ivane70189908,
We're aware of the Mac installer quitting unexpectedly and are working on a fix. In the mean time, please use the offline installer posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page in the 'Still having problems' section.

Error Installing Lightroom 4 onto Mac

I'm trying install lightroom 4 onto my Mac operating on Mac OS X 10.6.8. At the end of the installation, an error keeps occuring that is causing the installation to fail. There is no error code or anything. Help?

At the top it says, "There were errors with the installation. You may want to try installing again." I tried again and it came up with the same error. In the middle in huge letters it says, "The Installation failed." And under that, it says, "The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
That's all I've got.

I am unable to install my Photoshop Elements onto my new solid state hard drive

Thank you for replying. Sorry for the caps.
I am trying to reinstall Elements 10 on Win 7. I have a new hard drive. I can install Organizer but not Editor. It rolls back after trying to install Editor. I do not have the exact error message handy.
I have done an exhaustive review of the symptoms and applied the suggestions in every thread but no luck .
I downloaded a trial of Elements 13 which worked. Then I tried to install Elements 11 but without success.

Unable to install adobe flashplayer on mac 10.9.2

Hi I recently upgraded to 10.9.2 and I am unable to install Adobe Flashplayer on Safari. I've done an uninstall and downloaded and tried to reinstall but it hangs a little more than halfway. All I get is an error message saying there's an error - no specifics.
Any help here please? Thanks in advance!

Are you trying to install this: Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.77?
I would suggest doing the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Try installing Flash again.

Unable to install Flash Player on Mac mini

Hi Folks! You all have probably encountered this question before...so here goes. I own a mid 2010 Mac mini running OS X 10.10 (Yosemite). Had Adobe Flash player running fine then was prompted to upgrade (text read "Your Flashplayer is outdated") Attempted the installation but it kept failing with an error: "Unable to proceed with the installation. Previously when it ran successfully, I first remembered reading and "accepting" the terms and conditions and clicking on the "accept" box...this dialogue was curiously absent overtime the installation was unsucessful. Any ideas? Suggestions? I need HELP!!!
Thanks,

Unable to install Itunes update on mac

This may sound stupid but I am not at all technology savvy. I tried updating my itunes from whatever it is currently to the latest update and it downloaded but won't install because it said my osx or something was too outdated? I have a MacBook I got on Ebay not too long ago and I believe it's a 2010. I never downloaded anything on it so it just has whatever came on it. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help me figure out how to update this so I can sync music onto my phone!

First thing to do is click the apple again and click Software Update. That should let you on-line update to 10.6.8. Then you need to decide if you want to go to Lion, 10.7.5 or Mavericks, 10.9.1.
You can definitely go to Lion, to go to Mavericks your Mac must be in the compatible list, http://www.apple.com/osx/specs which it probably is.
If so, to go to Mavericks after the 10.6.8 update, click the App Store in Finder, Applications. Then search for Mavericks, and you can purchase for on-line download for $20.

Installing Windows 7 onto Mac without a disk drive

Hi everyone,
I am trying to install Windows 7 to my mac. I've followed numerous instructions and nothing is working.
I have:
-downloaded the windows 7 iso file
-created a bootable usb
-downloaded the additional drivers
-downloaded DAEMON to trick my mac into thinking a disk has been inserted
-mounted the windows 7 iso file on my mac
I then started bootcamp to install windows and it goes as far as selecting the size for each partition but when I click next it stops and won't go any further... An error message is displayed with "Your disk could not be partitioned", "An error occurred while partitioning the disk".
Is anyone able to help? I've tried almost everything !
Thanks

Hey.
You are doing things the way I would do them.
Double check that your ISO is good by downloading it again for good measure.
Then before running BootCamp, use Disk Utility to repair any dodgy permissions and to verify the disk.
This is always worth doing before BootCamping.
Now when you get to the dark side and it asks you to select a partition, make sure you are clicking on the "BOOTCAMP" one, which I assume you are.
Below you will see "New". Click that and all should be good.
Let me know when you've tried this.
