hi guys i used boot camp and turned my mac into windows and i wanted to play a pc game called guild wars 2 and i cant find a proper program to actually setup the game

Only if you decide to share with us your particular situation. Guild Wars should install and run like any other Game. Other than the Game Installer, Games don't need some other installer to make them work. Only someone who reads the instructions for the proper installation.

My husband has a iphone, now i have one to. We want to work with the same calendar, but i want to play in the game center with my own name... how can i do that? and still use the same calendar

My husband has a iphone 4 8Gb, now i have one to. We want to manage our calendar with icloud. We use the apple id that my husband made, but i want to play in the game center with my one name and games. How can i do that?

Sounds like you encrypted your iPhone backup, & if so it's asking for the encrypted backup password. Do you have a company Exchange account on your phone?

Want to play Power PC game on Intel-based Mac

First off, I'm sorry if this post is in an inappropriate category but I didn't know where to put it. My OS is Tiger if that's useful.
I want to play the game Black & White on my Intel-based Macbook. The game is only supported on PowerPC-based Macs. Is there any possibility of playing this game? If there is a solution, does it work well or is it really buggy, i.e. not worth it?
Thanks for any help!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions....
I'm afraid with the system requirements for the game being.....
System Requirements
Minimum (Macintosh)
Mac OS 8.6/Mac OS 10.1.3
PowerPC G3 333 MHz
128 MB RAM (with virtual memory set to at least 256MB)
Hardware accelerated 3D Graphics Card with 8MB VRAM
500MB free hard disk space
Mouse and keyboard
Recommended (Macintosh)
Mac OS 9.2.2/Mac OS 10.2 or later
PowerPC G3 500 MHz
256MB RAM
Hardware accelerated 3D Graphics Card with 32MB VRAM
1GB free hard disk space
that it can't run on an Intel Mac. In fact, the Mac OS 9.2 is Classic... that goes back a bit. But if you can find a friend who's running a powerPC Mac with Tiger running Classic, you could run the game that way. In fact, if the game is that important to you, you might be able to pick up an older iBookG4 with at least (Tiger) 10.4.x with Classic. You'd need the support disks that came with the iBook. There is no way it will run on the MacBook... sorry. The 8.6 system goes back to about 1998. It looks like the minimum requirements say 10.2 would work also, that was Jaguar. That would work also without having to run Classic.

Want to play pre-intel game, got a PowerPC iMac and want to install OS 9, anything I need to know before hitting ebay?

Found the pre-intel machine, but unfortunately (in this case) it is running OS 10.4.11. Want to make sure before I buy from ebay that I am getting the OS 9 I can use on this computer. Saw a reboot set for OS 9, will that work? Or do I need to already have 9 installed, which I don't. Does it matter which OS 9 version I get, or if advertised as for another model of computer will it translate to mine? Thanks ahead of time!

hmmm, ok, need some clarification, please bear with me, not very techie, but love learning.
So I have a 2003 iMac PowerPC G4 (PowerMac6,1 768 MB 1 GHz) currently running OS 10.4.11. NO DISKS whatsoever- someone gave me the computer, it was about to go in the "recycling". (which is such a shame- WHAT A COOL LOOKING COMPUTER!!!) I also have this year's model of MacBookPro and have had many macs, so I am not trying to be an apple rip off- just trying to play a game they have made obsolete. Wish I had kept a few of my older ones...
When I try to play this really cool game it says it that the classic environment is no longer supported. So question time: can I purchase a copy of the tiger os and reload it? I understand that the disks are extremely model specific and apple info says my model originally shipped with 10.2.3 installed, but what about the black retail copies verses the grey lables? And would this theoretical re-install of tiger then automatically include the classic mode, or is that a seperate disk? And if one purchaces this retail install disk, are codes necessary? I have the overall user password from the original owner, but alas she tossed the disks...
the cool game is Alice: an Interactive Museum and is worth all this trouble... it will play on os 9. The sheepshaver, looks way too complicated for my level of computer knowledge, but thanks for the suggestions.
"The transcendant world of Alice was created through the cooperation of artists in three fields - the painter Kuniyoshi Kaneko, the musician Kazuhiko Kato and the computer-graphics artist Haruhiko Shono. The theme of this unusual collaborative effort derives from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. Kaneko provided numerous of those of his pictures that have been influenced by Alice's world and Kato contributed the music. With these as his material, Shono has created an elaborate interactive environment. The stage upon which this drama unfolds is a house of twelve rooms that include a gallery, an atelier, a wine cellar and a photo studio, each connected to others by corridors, doors, and even secret passageways. The persistent player will find as well a single exit that opens to the outside world. There is also hidden throughout the twelve rooms a deck of playing cards. On each card is a message that will enable you to unlock the mysteries of Alice's world. A wonderland of striking works of art, interactivity and compelling adventure game is waiting to be explored by YOU."
Your iMac G4 is one of the following three:

Accordingly, the earliest operating system that will boot your computer is either OS X 10.2.3 or 10.2.7 depending on which specific Mac. Since you say your label says it shipped with OS X 10.2.3, it must be the first one listed. Hence you cannot boot OS 9 on this computer, but you can install OS 9 into the Classic Environment on it.
Reading these Apple Support documents will help clarify what you need to purchase:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21153?viewlocale=en_US
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1585?viewlocale=en_US
So while it would be helpful to have a set of OS X Jaguar install Disks in your library, it does not look like it is essential; you just need to have OS 9 to install into it.
I think I made this offer once before...
Let me know if the set you purchase works for you. Contact me by email; screenname at AmericaOnLine
Is that the "Luxo" iMac G4? I still have the one my daughter purchased years ago. The original disk set must be around here somewhere...
If not, I have quite an extensive OS Library from those days. I'll swap you!

I want a song i purchased on ipad with my apple id transferred to our family computer which is registered to my husbands apple id. But a message comes up saying 90days before can download? What does this mean i just want to play my song through the mac

I want a song purchased on my ipad with my apple id downloaded onto our home mac mini. So i can listen to it via that computer. However the mac is registered to my husbands apple id and it comes up with a message about 90days wait needed or something. What does this mean? And how do I get one measly song downloaded?!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It sounds like you are trying to change your login in the Tunes store through iTunes on your computer, which you can only do once in 90 days, which you don't need to do for this.
What does your iPad usually sync with.

HELP: I just want to play my old Heroes of Might & Magic III on my new Mac

Mac says that the application to install Heroes of Might & Magic III "is not supported on this system."
Is there some kind of patch I can download so my operating system will recognize and allow this file? I really want to play this classic game.
Thanks!

Hi zforman;
With Intel Mac you are unable to run "Classic" programs.

Dos games

Is there a way to play old DOS games such as the original Sid Meier's Colonization for DOS on my iMac? I'm wanting to buy the original one (used to play it on my dad's old NEC PC all the time and prefer the DOS version over the Windows version, slightly different things I noticed between the two.) but want to make sure it's playable first. Otherwise I'd have to lugg out my old PC just to play this one game.
Thanks.

Does it play in DOS in Win XP?
If that's the sad but true case, there is Parallels...

Live! - Windows 98 - old DOS games?

# I'd like to get my old Li've! Value card working with an old Windows 98SE machine so I can play some DOS games... ?I found the Win9x driver here. ?However, it doesn't appear to include any SB6 emulation drivers with it.
Sooo... Does anyone know where to get the Li've! SB6 emulation drivers so DOS games will work under Win98 ?
Thanks!?

?Windows 98 includes AWE32 drivers, yes. But it only includes Windows drivers. It does not come with any drivers for DOS access.
DOS games still need some form of driver that provides DOS programs with hardware access - either an old TSR or Windows driver. Either way. But a DOS game will not work without one or the other. Back to square one, either way.
The "driver" you think you need is built into DOS games. Typically, you run a setup step where you choose your soundcard from a menu of choices that the game offers.
You probably also need an AUTOEXEC.BAT line, like:
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D H5 P330? T6
The BLASTER variable is used by DOS programs for sound configuration information:
? Base I/O address? (A) 220
? IRQ??? (I) 5
? Low DMA??? (D)
? High DMA?? (H) 5
? MPU40 I/O address (P) 330
? SB type (SB6)? (T) 6
?This specifies an SB6 using the most-common values. I'm not sure how this differs when an AWE is involved, or even if it does.
Again, the only reason you need the DOS drivers for the SBLi've is that the card came along too late to get support in DOS programs, so you need a translation layer that makes it appear there is real SB6 (and MPU40) hardware which the DOS program can operate, but which is actually a translation to the capabilities of the SBLi've.

I want to play video games on my mac without it overheating.

How can I play video games on my mac without it overheating?

A web search is not turning up an iOS app for playing Yahoo! games. So you likely cannot play them.

I have run bootcamp, and installed windows 7. I love it but, the reason I installed it is to play games not compatible with a mac. When using windows it lets me install my games but won't load them when I want to play them. Help"

Will my games work on my computer? and how?

Like the hatter says give us some info upon which to base a response.
I have 3 Boot Camp installs on three different laptops (2006 MacBook-Win XP, 2008 MacBook Pro-Win Vista, 2010 MacBook Pro Win 7).
I am an FPS gamer and have to know the limitations of the hardware when it comes to being able to play what I wish. I can play only old games (pre 2004) on the XP machine and more recent games on the Vista machine. But to play the newest games I need the Win 7 machine and it even has to be set at less than the higher settings.
My question to you is what Mac are you using and does it match the minimal system requirements stated on the box or in the manual. If the hardware specs can not be met then it will not load as has been my experience.

Help me?! graph card problems when trying to play games on mac in wmvare-windows 7

I know that you aren't suppose too play games on mac. But I bought a iMac 27"
Processor 3,5 GHz Intel Core i7
Minne 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Grafik NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2048 MB
and I installed wmvare and windows 7 so I could do gameplays for my YouTube channel on PC games. I didn't boot because I were insecure but anyways. I installed wmvare and windows 7 sucesfully but then when I were going too try too run the game Black Ops 2 in steam it poped up a message that told me
"DirectX encountered an unrecoverable error. Check the readme for possible solutions." So I sat for hours trying too understand what the problem was, trying to update DirectX with more. Since I already had the latest DirectX that wasent the problem. And finaly I found the sulution. There were some problem with the grapich card so I needed too upgrade the grapich card. Well ofcourse NIVIDIA didn't have any driver for the GTX 775M grapich card. I checked here https://discussions.apple.com/message/24065327#24065327 and used the link that took me to were I could dowload the drivers. When the dowloading were done and I started the system check after a while it stoped and told me that the NVIDIA installation coulden't go on. Becuase this graphics routine could not find any compatible graphics hardware. So what is the sulution? Because I am not going (I have already put so much money on this) pay more for this too work so as ordering new stuff like a driver, another grapich card or anything lika that I dont want to boot my computer but if I must I perhaps will do it just if I dont need to pay for another windows 7. So I want a awnser were I can and how I can dowload the drivers so that I can play games on my mac for exampel; Black Ops 2, Battelfield 3/4, The Forest, Day Z. Would be greatfull for awnsers that have a sulution!!!!

Okey, so when I was going too boot my computer it works good untill half the way thruh when boot campassistant is going too dowload the latest windows assistant it says "This computer can just do windows 7" then I press next after a few seconds it says "Can't dowload files because the server is busy" (this was just from my memory it may have been somthing else, but it is pretty much what it said). So how do I fix this, the easiest thing too just press a few buttons and choose a ISO image and the it can't even proseed to the pratipation....
