Will the original Sims: Complete Collection run on my mac?
I am running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, and I just ordered The Sims: Complete Collection for Mac, and I know it's an extremely old game so I'm just nervous it won't run. I know Lion will not play it, so I'm not going to update to it, but will Snow Leopard? Thank you
Im sure you already know by now but yes. The sims complete collection WILL work on snow leopard. I loved that game so much. I was so p***ed off when i upgraded to lion and it didnt work Happy Siming

The Sims Complete Collection-Will it run on my MacBook Pro?
Hi everybody,
I have a MacBook Pro. Its got a 2 GHz Intel Core Duo processor. It's Version OS
X 10.4.11. I've been hearing conflicting statements from people on all different websites saying they've gotten The Sims Complete Collection to work on their Intel based mac, but then other people say they can't get it to work. Does anyone have a first hand experience with this game on a Intel based Mac? I would really appreciate some help since I was thinking about buying this game. I don't want to spend the money and find out that it won't work on my Intel-based Mac. Please help! Thanks!Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion

How can I play The Sims Complete Collection without PowerPC applications being supported?
So I downloaded Mavericks a while ago after my friend told me it was a really good idea. I hated almost everything about it to start with and since then I've found I don't hate everything but still a lot of things. I was on Snow Leopard before and, even though it was old, it was lovely; I knew where I was with it and everything worked.
Today I went to play The Sims Complete Collection for the first time since downloading Mavericks a few months ago and it told me 'You can't open the application "The Sims Complete because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." I am SO ANGRY. I would quite happily buy the game again but they don't make them anymore so they'd all have the same system requirements. What's most frustrating is that I sold all my original edition Sims games that I'd been collecting for years to buy Complete Collection for Mac so I could still play the game I've played since the week it was released. Basically I need someone to tell me how to do one of these things;
1- Downgrade to Snow Leopard again. Bit extreme but I like the Sims a lot. I have the original discs that came with my macbook if that helps at all.
2- Don't think it can be done but is there a way I could have my Sims Complete Collection on my EA origins app? Like all my Sims 3 are.
3- Make PowerPC Applications playable
4- Basically anything that makes my game playable!Izzy118,
The short answer is that you will not be able to run Sims on your Mac unless a OSX Lion update is released.
Have a look at this thread on the Sims forum about a patch for Lion.
The long answer is that you can try to install Fusion and Snow Leopard Server, but at a cost.
Fusion is not free. Snow Leopard Server is several hundred dollars.
It will be less expensive to buy an old Mac just for your games.

After my friend locked me out of my iPhone with too many wrong password attempts I restored my iPhone via recovery mode and now it is showing that picture of a cable leading towards itunes, and itunes says the sim is not supported but it is the original sim. How do I fix this?
Something went wrong with the update, this can and does happen with every version of iOS.
There is nothing wrong with the update.
Simply restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
If iTunes is stating it will take hours to update, that indicates an extremely slow Internet connection and is likely the reason the OTA update failed. -
How can you activate an iPhone 4 without the original sim or jailbreaking it?
I have just recieved my iPhone 4 and it has not yet been activated. I tried to activate it but it just says 'Activation Failed' and to put in the original sim card, which i dont have. It said when i bought the phone it was unlocked and i have tried to put in an 02 sim, but it needs an orange one which i dont have. Will i need to get an orange sim or is there any way i can activate it without jailbreaking it or the original sim. Thanks
Doesn't sound like your phone was unlocked.
To activate, a SIM card from the carrier to which the phone is locked is required. There's no way around this. -
My iPhone is from Japan and I want to activate it here in the Philippines because I'm living here. I have lost the original SIM from Softbank and replaced it with a new SIM card from Globe. How can I use the SIM card from Globe?
You cannot. The iPhone is locked to Softbank, and only they can unlock it. Problem is that Softbank will NOT unlock the phone, as they do not offer iPhone unlocking.
Buy an iPhone in the Phillipines.
PS Before you go on a rant at Apple, be aware that Apple does NOT unlock phones and they do not set unlocking policies. The carriers (Softbank in this case) set the unlocking policy. -
Hi, i'm Sameer frm Mauritius. I've bought an iphone 3gs frm ebay and it is lock. I dont have the original sim and i dnt know on which carrier it is lock. So now i want it to be unlock by apple so what i have to do? Plz some1 help me. THNX
You will have to call AppleCare and give them the model and serial number so they can advise who it is locked with. Then you will have to contact that cell provider and find out what their unlock process is, if there is a fee, and if you qualify. If it is locked to a company that does not have an unlock policy then you will not be able to unlock it.

Sorry, you can't. If your phone is carrier locked, you will need a sim card from that carrier, to activate it.

Can I activate my iPhone without the original sim?
I bought an iPhone 4 form the USA, which was not activated. When I plug it into iTunes, I have a message along the lines of 'Not Original Sim, please insert original...'
Well, I was never given and therefore don't have the original sim.
However, I think that the iPhone was on the AT&T network, but I am not 100% sure.
I have also recently updated, probably to iOS 6, but I am again not totally sure.
Will any AT&T sim card work to activate the phone?
And, is there any other way to activate the iPhone, other that having the original sim?You need to contact AT&T about this and get a micro sim card from them for your phone.
You would have updated to iOS6 as that is the latest upgrade - no others are available.
Contact AT&T or go into one of their stores to find out. -
When using Iphoto to import photo from existing folder to iphoto, what happens if:
1. I delete that photo in iphoto? will the original file in the folder be deleted too ?
2. when importing, does the hard disk store 2 versions of the photo, hence occupying additional space in the harddisk?1 - no -- iPhoto only manages fiel within the iPhoto library - it does not ever do anything with files outside the library
2 - No idea what you are asking - by default (and strongly recommended) iPhoto copies the original to the iPhoto library and you delete the source file outside the iPhoto library - iPhoto alwasy has at least two versions of every photo and some times three - it always have the original, a thumbnail and once a photo is modified a preview - this is not optional - if it is not what you want then iPhoto is not the correct progrtam to be using for phopto management

I've transferred my old number by PAT code to my new iphone and most of the time it works fine however there are problems when replying to tests and using Facetime when the original sim muber is displayed. My frined can text me on my correct number but if I reply she receives it from the different number. Also when using Facetime the number displayed is the one the came with the iphone. Anyone know what to do to get the number id correct?
Tell her to contact her carrier and get a new phone number.

I seem to have lost carrier settings on my iPad1,I've tried a restore and update but get a message about the original sim card,which I still have but is inactive,really inconvenient as I can only use in wifi spots and off line mode,please help,sibear.
You might want to download something called an undelete utility. These can find files and recover them even after they appear to have been lost. There are some undelete utility programs that are free. Look at tucows.com
Also, it appears that you have POSSIBLY overwritten the actual files, which you moved manually, with I don't know what, which you moved in PSE's folder location view.
Next, in the future ... NEVER (that's: don't even think about it) move your photos in Windows. NEVER. NEVER. Not ever. Not once. This always (that's ALWAYS, as in 100% of the time) causes problems and usually makes things difficult to fix.
Lastly ... make regular backups! I must say this in the forums about seventy bazillion times a month. Make regular backups! Regular depends on how often you take photographs and edit them. Since my photographic activity usually happens on the weekends, I make backups every Sunday night. You may need a different schedule, depending on your activity level. MAKE REGULAR BACKUPS!
