What Games Have Macbook Users Been Able to Play on Their Systems?

I was wonderthing whether past or current Macbook owners might be kind enough to let me know what games they have been able to play under windows on their Macbook. Also, were the games run in parallels or bootcamp? I'm not interested in playing any of the extreme 3d games out there but I would be interested in knowing what type of games the Macbook is able to handle.

Civilisation 4, Total War Gold run fine under Bootcamp. Civ 3, Rise of Nations, Halo (demo) run Ok under OSX. Other users experiences here for Rosetta http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/PPC_Games and here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_gaming and the best list (IMHO) is here http://guides.macrumors.com/UniversalBinaryGames
Parallels does not support DirectX at the moment so that rules out most Windows games.

  • I have recently restored my phone to unlock it.  I have installed the latest version of IOS.  Since then, I have not been able to play the music I have purchased.  The scrolls or flips through the songs and I am unable to listen to them.  Can anyone help?

    iTunes is quite friendly, and very powerful....   You probably just need to set up automatic syncing in iTunes.
    If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  The iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  Select the iPod there.
    To the right, the iPod's Summary screen is shown.  Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons, starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music.  This setting enables automatic syncing for music.  If your iTunes music library is small enough to fit on the iPod's storage, you can choose to sync Entire music library.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Select playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  From the lists below, select (checkmark) what you want to sync to the iPod.
    Here's one convenient way to set this up.  In your iTunes library, create one or more playlists.  Add the ALL the songs you want on the iPod to those playlists.  OR, you can use existing playlists.  Back on the iPod's Music screen, select those playlists under Playlists.  (You can select other items on those lists, if desired.)
    When you click Apply, the songs in your selection sync to the iPod.  Going forward, to update your iPod (add/remove songs), just update those playlists in your iTunes library.  The iPod does not need to be connected.  The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes automatically updates the iPod with the same changes.
    NOTE:  On the bar of buttons that starts with Summary, click on the other buttons (such as Movies, Podcasts, Audiobooks, etc.) to set up syncing for those iTunes media categories.

  • HT201401 After downloading a song last month, I haven't been able to play any of my music on my phone except for the one new song! Help!

    After downloading a song a little over a month ago I haven't been able to play any of my other songs, why? Please help!

    Here is what you can try,
    Hold both the power and home buttons until the device powers off, may take 10sec. Let go of both as soon as screen goes black.
    Open itunes on your computer and plug in your cable to the computer but NOT the phone.
    Once itunes is open hold down the home button on phone and plug in cable and continue holding home button until you see the connect to iTunes logo on screen. iTunes will give a msg that a device has been detected in recovery mode. Now select restore and do not disconnect until you see your device in iTunes again.
    Set the device up as NEW and see if the issue is still there.

  • How can I convert an .m1v file for my MacBook to be able to play it?

    Hi!
    How can I convert an .m1v file for my MacBook to be able to play it?
    I tried numerous apps from the app store, but they failed
    Thanks!

    Hello:
    Rather than try to buy a box, I suggest you take the computer to a FedEx or UPS store.  They will wrap and safely package the device for a reasonable cost (I have shipped two iMacs this way).

    Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country.

  • HT5625 I reset my password, but it still won't let me log into iCloud.  I have not ever been able to sign up for it, I don't have the original email to do so.  Please help.

    I have not been able to log into icloud, nor set it up.  It keeps telling me to check my email to set up.  There is nothing from apple/icloud there.  How do I get another email so I can set it up?  Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Please check your inbox again and also the spam/junk folder.

  • Has anyone been able to link all their contacts with their Facebook info?

    I just got my first iPhone and am seeing an issue: not all Facebook contacts are being synced; specifically, only 27 out of 254. I’ve been reading posts about this here, and it appears a good number of people are seeing this same problem, including a friend of mine with a 5S running iOS 7.  It appears people are under the impression this is due to a change Facebook made, and that only contacts with specific info showing on their profiles will now be synced. I’ve done some testing, and it does at least appear that only Facebook contacts showing an email address on their timeline - other than their @facebook.com address – are synced to my iPhone. Thing is, Facebook contact sync works effortlessly and perfectly for all contacts both on my Windows Phone and on another friend’s old Android phone. It therefore appears this is either an Apple or an Apple combined with Facebook issue, and not a general issue with access to Facebook contact info. I’m primarily interested in fixing this so that each of my contacts show their Facebook profile photo (which also worked effortlessly and perfectly on my Windows Phone).
    I’ve tried various potential solutions like adding Facebook emails to contacts, but nothing has worked so far. Has anyone been able to get this to work? If not, and this is a universal problem with iOS 7+ and Facebook, I’m surprised more people aren’t up in arms and reporting it to Apple and Facebook as something they’d like to see fixed?

    I had no issues activating my iPhone 4s. I just hooked it up to my computer and it did the rest. It was pretty easy and this was my first iPhone, I had the Motorola Droid 1 before that.
    Although I was experiencing problems with calls going straight to Voicemail, even though I wasn't on the internet or doing anything on the phone, so I just got off the phone with Verizon and they had me punch in numbers to reprogram the phone and that seems to have done the trick (i hope).
    I don't know if the above issue happened during the initial activation or if it was just a separate fluke, but there you go. You shouldn't experience any difficulties in setting up the phones.

    I should add that I got my phone in NOV and so I'm not sure if something changed in the activation process that made it faulty. I'm just reading the thread about people having issues activating the phone over the holidays.

  • I have no longer been able to connect to the internet as aiport continueously tells me that "airport has selfassigned ip address and will not be able to connect to the internet.

    Up until about a week ago I have not had a single internet connectivity problem.  Then, all of the sudden airport will no longer connect and it keeps telling me that "Airport has self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the internet." I did not change any settings, I didn't touch anything and all of the sudden it just will not connect anymore.  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!:)

    These steps often sort out this problem...
    System Preferences > Network
    Select the AirPort from the left hand side
    Click on the Locations combo box and select Edit Locations...
    Click on + to add a new location, call it "Home" (or anything else you prefer)
    Click on Advanced
    Select the AirPort tab and enter your network name
    Select TCP/IP tab. 
    Configure IPv4 Using DHCP
    Now click on Renew DHCP Lease.  After a few seconds you should get an IP address (probably 192.168.x.x)
    Click on Proxies tab.
    Select Auto Proxy Discovery and Use Passive FTP
    Click on OK and Apply, etc.
