Will pc games work on mac ?

i was wondering if i buy a pc game will it deffinetly work on my mac and i spend ages downloading software then to find out its for windows will pc games work on mac

If it is a real game and made for the Windows Operating System then it should not even install on a Mac. In fact the install routine for the game shouldn't even run, start up, on the Mac Operating system.
What strange writing is coming up?
First you would need a version of Windows. If you want to install it in a Boot Camp partition, that is where you partition your drive and install Windows as a Dual Boot system, you will need Win 7. If you use a virtual machine software program then you can install almost any version of Windows. XP, Vista, Win 7 or even Win 2000 or 98.
There are 3 virtual machine software program that work on a Mac. Virtual Box (Free), VMware Fusion and Parallels that cost money to use.

  • Will Office 2004 work with Mac OS 10.4.11?

    I'm currently running Office 2004 with Mac OS 10.4.2 but will soon be upgrading to Mac OS 10.4.11. I'm wondering if the Office currently installed on my computer will work with OS 10.4.11.
    (All the component apps of Office are marked as Version 11.2, except Entourage, which is marked as Version 11.2.1.)
    I'd appreciate any thoughts. THANK YOU.
    -Bob

    Shouldn't be any problem. I used Office 2004 with 10.4.11 for quite a while until I bought Office 2008.
    You might want to update your Office apps, though, with the latest security updates and bug fixes. My Office 2004 apps are all 11.3.something versions.

  • Will older printer work on Mac Leopard?

    I have an HP deskjet 720c - HP says there is no software or drivers for Mac OS X10.5 Leopard, but if I get a parallel->USB converter cable, will this printer work on my mac?

    If it does not have a USB port to begin with, probably not. The adapter cable itself may need a driver so that the OS understands how to use it.
    The standard Mac OS X printer driver installation has a large set of open source "Gutenprint" drivers for older printers. I use an old Epson Stylus Photo 750 with one of these drivers, and it works quite well for such an old printer. I did not see one for an HP Deskjet 720c listed, but another Gutenprint driver for a similar HP printer may work. But you'd have to get an adapter cable to try it; inkjet printers are pretty cheap these days, so it may be better just to get a new one that you know will be compatible (as well as work much better than that old one).

  • Will This sofware work with Mac Os X 10.4.3?

    I reacently purchased a copy of Adobe PageMaker 7.0 for Mac but haven't being able to install it. The message on the computer is telling me that the sofware cannot run on this operating system.
    The software requirements ask for Mac os 9.1 or Mac OS X (classic mode only).

    I'm not an expert but I've had similar problems (wanting to run classic applications on tiger) and asked on here and basically, no. It won't work.
    Somehow apple have managed to release this "oh so wonderful" intel core duo thing with tiger which prevents an incredible amount of software (ie. all classic) from working!! haha so clever...
    so sorry but I don't think it will work..
    If you want to double check though feel free

  • Will ipod Shuffle work on mac os 9.2x?

    Question: Will the iPod shuffle work on my clamshell I know about the requirements but sometimes you can use mac os X programs and software on os 9.2 I just need an answer soon before Ibuy the shuffle!
    -Jeremy

    Jeremy,
    Your only option will be to upgrade to at least Mac OS X 10.2.8. I recommend that you upgrade 10.3.9 though because of code optimizations, there is a consensus that it runs quicker and has more features. You'll need at least 128MB of RAM to run OS X at a grueling pace, but it's recommended that you put in as much as you can.
    It should be noted that even with OS X, you'll still need an iPod Shuffle Dock or a USB Cable Extender to physically be able to plug the iPod Shuffle into your iBook's USB port, as the shuffle is a bit wide.
    It should also be noted that the iPod Shuffle will then only run at slower USB 1.1 speeds not USB 2.0.
    I hope this helps.
    Brian

  • Will any iPod work with Mac OS 10.3.9?

    I want a basic iPod for music on the move but what older ones will work on my iBook G4 running 10.3.9? I don't mind trawling eBay... I understand that the new iPods require a more up to date OS...

    You can look at the iPod specification profiles here
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/consumer_electronics/index-ipod.html
    There is an entry for +Mac Support+ on the profiles, which shows the earliest Mac OS X release that is supported by each model.

  • Ok...DVI to Video Adapter will almost never work on MAC PRO, what the....

    ok
    Thank you apple for making us all by the grand Mac Pro and upgrade to better video cards (like in my case 8800gt) and then offering no solution to replace the DVi to Video adapter which allows to have video mirroring.
    Anyone has any idea how to make extended desktop or video mirroring work since this adapter is no longer compatible?
    Thank you

    Yes I know that. my question is regarding what to use for a 8800 card

  • Will airport extreme work with Mac OS v10.6?

    I have an Imac from 2009, Using OS X v 10.6.8 and cannot get an airport extreme to match.  I kept getting a msg to upgrade airport utility hardware 6.2.2, but then an unable to do so.    Are the 2 incompartible?   I thought the advantage of apple products was connectivity.   Any thoughts are appreciated!!  Paul

    The most recent AirPort Extreme works without any problem with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is that it requires AirPort Utility 6.3 to set it up, and this version is only available for OS X Lion and Mountain Lion.
    If you don't want to upgrade Mac OS X and you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you can use them to set up your AirPort Extreme. Open Settings > Wi-Fi, choose your AirPort station and follow the steps.
    If you don't have any of those devices, upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion. Open the Mac App Store and purchase it. Make a backup of your data with Time Machine and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com When the download finishes, upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion. After upgrading, open  > Software Update, and install AirPort Utility 6.3, which you have to open and follow its steps.
    The other option is to return your AirPort Extreme and get an older one

  • Will hp memory work on mac?

    I found ram on this website for hp. Will it work on macbook?
    http://www.gumtree.ie/cp-computers-accessories-software-in-dublin/notebook-memor y-ddr2-667-1gb-pc2-5300-449238234

    As much as I would like to say that i can - more than likely however, it can't.
    Macbooks are quite picky when it comes to RAM - if you can return it after you purchase it - i'd say go for it.
    If however, you can not return it - then don't waste your money.
    Also mention what year your Macbook is so we can give you the right answer instead of second guessing.

  • Will InDesign CS4 work with Mac OS 10.8?

    I am buying a new iMac and would like to know if I will have to upgrade Adobe CS 4 software.

    All bets are off with CS4 on 10.8. You can try, though.
    As for upgrading you have no upgrade path except to Creative Cloud.

  • Will Lightroom 3 work with Mac OSX 10.7?

    I just purchased an iMac with Lion 10.7 and would like to use Lightroom 3.  The system requirements for Lightroom 3 shows OSX 10.5 or 10.6.  Nothing listed for 10.7.

    Steven,
    Be sure to download 3.5. That one has some Lion-related problems fixed.
    No matter how you buy Lightroom, you can apply the serial number you get when you buy it to the downloaded trial version to make it a non-trial version.
