Why can't i run my clifford game on lion

I upgraded to lion recently and now my preschooler can no longer run The Cliffor Learning game. Error message is this machine no longer supports power PC

You can obtain an inexpensive external drive and install OS 10.6 on it. The most inexpensive external drives are USB 2, you can obtain a small one (500-GB) for well under $100. Sometimes you can find them for ~ $50 or so on sale at large stores. Install OS 10.6 on it and the programs you have that won't run under Lion. You can boot into the older OS external disk by holding down the option key when you start your Mac. Select that drive to boot from and it will run from that drive, where your child can run his older games.

  • HT4623 Why can't I Play the free games after I download them

    Why can't I get play the games after I download them?

    Why?
    Probably because Facebook Games on the website need Flash to run, and iPads don't natively support Flash.
    You may be able to find a Flahs supporting browser in the Appr Store. (Search for "flash browser"). Though support is not 100% for any of them, but maybe some of the games may work.

    Hi...
    For videos. Uninstall the current Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Quit then relaunch Safari. From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Try a video.
    All online bank statments are in PDF format.
    Go to  /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin  (or just PDF Browser plugin) to the Trash.
    Now try a bank statement.

  • Why can't I play Face Book games on iPad?

    Why can't I play Face Book games on my iPad?

    You can play many of them, at least the ones found in the App Store. Others you might be able to play by using one of the alternate browsers or apps out there that allow you to 'play' Flash games.
    You can't play them in the way you're used to because, well ..... pick from the following:
    You aren't using what you're used to using, and it doesn't do things the same way that you're used to doing them.
    FaceBook was created by children, for children, and uses Flash ... which does not exist on Apple mobile devices.

  • Why can't I run my Java program with just the JRE, the JDK is required?

    I've recently written 3 programs in Java using the Netbeans IDE with JDK 1.6 as the default Java platform. The compile-time libraries include the Swing Application Framework. I use BuildDesk from ProductiveMe to package the each program into a Windows installer.
    When I install the programs on a new computer without a JRE or JDK being present, and attempt to run them I get an error (as expected) stating that there is no JVM. The messages says that I need to install JDK 1.3 or higher. I downloaded the latest JRE onto the new computer and attempted to run the programs and I get the same error message. My question is, why can't I run these programs with just the JRE installed? Why do I need the JDK? When I install the JDK, the programs run fine. The typical user may not have the JDK on their system, but they likely have the JRE if they've run Java programs before.
    Is the answer as simple as there must be library functions being used by the programs that belong to the JDK, but not the JRE? I'd rather a user not have to install the JDK verses the JRE because they may also have to update some Windows environment variables.
    Thank you for any help on this issue.

    Thanks for your replies. I further investigated BuildDesk and found an option which allows a JVM check but that check needs the JDK. I stopped the JVM check and rebuilt using BuildDesk and it now only requires the JRE to run the programs. The reason why I use BuildDesk is to package more than just the jar file for the user. BuildDesk allows me to create a installation folder structure as well as include any other files in the build. I could just as well zipped all this together for the user but decided against that method.I don't think anyone will question your usage of an installer tool; that is entirely up to you. But what is questionable is that you have problems with that installer tool and then go look for help in a Java programming forum. The next time, go look for help at the source. If there is no way to acquire help (support, a forum, a mailinglist, anything) then that is a very good reason to not use the product in question.

  • Why can't I run quicktime videos on ipad2?

    why can't I run quicktime videos on ipad2?

    Eric-
    QuickTime is capable of playing more video formats than the iPad.  The iPad can play M4V, MP4 and some MOV format videos.  It can not play formats like WMV and FLV.
    One thing you can do is to convert the video formats on your computer. 
    A free program that can do it is HandBrake, which is available for both PC and Macintosh at <Download>.

    That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

  • Why?  Why can't I run iMovie and have it

    Why? Why can't I run iMovie and have it ask me whether I want to load an existing project or new one? I don't see a setting for this in Preferences.
    thanks

    I haven't gone to the trouble of actually testing to see which uses more CPU power, but Firefox has been faster than Safari on every Mac I've ever owned.
    To see CPU usage by process, open the terminal (in Utilities) and enter 'top' at the command line. You might have to expand the window as processes don't appear in any logical order.
    It could also be hardware-related: I have late 2009 mini with similar specs and it pinwheels easily.

  • Is there any way how i can download and run Window based games, with out installing Windows-thus Bootcamp? and if so, is it free?

    is there any way how i can download and run Window based games, with out installing Windows-thus Bootcamp? and if so, is it free?

    No, you must install Windows to run Windows software. You do not need to use Boot Camp (yes, it's free because it comes with OS X.)
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.
