How could I run Flight Sim on Lion
Info:
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.0.x)
I just pulled out my old Flight Simulator X out of a box in my closet. I put it in my brother's Dell to test it out and I got back into loving planes.
I'd like to install it on my Mac. I currently own Parallels Desktop and I have Wineskin. I'd prefer not to use Parallels but if it was my only option I'd go there.
I use Wineskin for running a couple PC games but the guy who makes the wrappers [URL] doesn't make one for FSX so I'd have to make my own wrapper.Â
I have a Mid-2011 MacBook with 8GB of RAM, a 256GB hard drive, and a NVIDIA GeForce 320M with 256MB.Â

I have been having bad problems with my PB 17" and will probably sell it and my MB to get a 2.4Ghz. 15" MBP.
I also play Microsoft Flight Simulator X on my MB w/bootcamp. This game is very taxing on the 2GB of Ram and the pitiful integrated Intel GMA X3100 "graphics processor", which gets around 10fps. This game is still usable with this computer, but I want to know a few things...
1. For people who use this game on any Intel Macintosh, what FPS do you get?
2. Would getting the 2.66Ghz. MBP w/512MB of VRAM be way better than the base 2.4 MBP with only 256MB of non-shared VRAM?
3. If I get the 15" MBP, what is the best way to move the Bootcamp partition with the games to the MBP from the MB? (the FSX game folder is around 35-40GB in size because of all the add-ons)
I've just bought a pretty nifty Mac Pro custom system (spec is on my signature) and want to run Microsoft Flight Simulator X at the maximum settings possible. Two questions :
1. Would a Mac of my spec be capable of running FSX on maximum settings?
I am an avid Microsoft Flight Simulator fan...I have been playing the sim since my Apple IIE days in the 80's. Unfortunately, that was the last time I played MFS on an Apple...fast forward through two decades of PC use and here I am today. A Mac Convert!
Last spring, I finally bought my wife this little MacBook she had been wanting. I fell in love with it...bought myself a MacBook Pro for my business and I can't get enough! I'm hooked!
Unfortunately, the ONLY way to play Flight Sim X, 2004, 2002, etc. is with Windows installed. I have a partition with Windows on my MBP (15", 2.2, 128m VRAM)...but it isn't nearly powerful enough on the GPU to play the sim.
I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of an updated IMac with a fresh approach to graphics (NVidia card), but I'm getting anxious and ready to pull the trigger.
I also have Final Cut Pro 2 and Logic Pro that I will be using on the machine so I know I should be looking at a MacPro regardless...my big problem is self control on the MacPro configuration site...I get my computer up to seven or eight large without a monitor
On a serious note though...I am curious if any others have run Microsoft Flight Sims on a Boot Camp partition (Windows) on one of the new MacPros, especially with the 8800 cards?
So i have just installed Microsoft Flight Simulator X on the bootcamp partition on the very latest white macbook before the uni-body ones were released and i am amazed!
The games works far better than on any genuine desktop or laptop PC i have ever played it on. The graphics are smoother with better FPS and the game is generally a lot faster and generally better. My mac just keeps impressing me!
I was just wondering if anybody else on here is a Flight Simulator X fan and if you're playing it on a mac? If you are, let me know!
How can I watch movies that are stored on my cloud during a flight without WiFi?

Have just upgraded my macbook to Lion. I logged into the app store, bought, downloaded and installed Lion no problem.
After upgrade I returned to the app store to download ibooks author. I can find ibooks author but when I try and install the app I have to sign in and I get a "connection failed" error message.
The same happens in iTunes when I try and view my account - "The network connection failed"Â
I can access the internet with no problems - including secure sites. I can access software update with no problems.Â
I have made no changes to my network settings - could sign in and download apps before upgrade, unable to after upgrade.

I Would like to install a Windows OS for gaming etc....? What version do you guys recommend? in particular would like to install Flight Sim X with Add-ons, and other various ongoing enhancements. I am curious about downloading Windows 7 RC 64 bit, what do you think? Otherwise will purchase Vista Home Prem 64 bit. Does anyone have experience running Windows 7 and Flight Sim X etc?

But I need a .iso (preferably) to be used to install the operating system.Because I didn't receive any installation discs with the mac, I dont have a copy up front.What's the easiest way for me to get an .iso of OSX Lion Server without needing to use the app store.(Currently it's not easy for me to be able to boot into OSX, because I have it set up as a remote machine and I only have windows installed).

I have a mac mini with 2GB ram, 50 GB free memory, and a core 2 duo. The app store says it won't download Lion "This version of Mac OS X 10.7 cannot be installed on this computer."

Updated with the latest patch yesterday. When I start the App Store app I have no apps showing and just receive the message "Cannot Connect to the App Store". I'm using an ethernet connection rather than wifi and have access to the internet (obviously). I eventually managed to sign out of my itunes account to see if logging back in would help, but when I click sign in nothing happens.Â

I purchased OSX LION from the app store and supposedly should be able to download it to the Mac's in my house. Imac worked, no problem. But Macbook (OS 10.6.8 and Intel Core 2 duo) hasn't worked. The macbook ends up restarting before Lion is downloaded and then I start all over again. What am I doing wromg.Â

I live in Colombia. My Apple ID is from the United States. Yesterday my uncle who lives in Alaska bought for me 2 iTunes Gift Cards of 15 dollars. I exchanged the codes and now I have in my ID 30 dollars. But when I go to purchase OS Lion, I click in Download app and the Mac App Store ask me to change my billing data. I created my Apple ID many years ago without a Credit card. So I click Finish but the Download does not start. Â Â

i like to buy lion at the appstore but it dosent work
View 1 Replies View RelatedFor the past week or so (maybe since the "supplemental update" to OS X or the iOS 5.1 update) I've been unable to connect to the Mac App Store, and my Apple ID is not recognized there. I've tried signing in and out, and I've tried rebooting entirely. Each time, though, I have the same problems with the MAS.

When I search for OS X Lion in the app store as directed on Apple's site, all I get are some related books and a few random apps not the system software itself. When I click the "upgrade to Lion" buttons on Apple's site, I get a message saying Safari can't open the page because it doesn't recognize an address starting with "macappstore." I get a similar message when I use Firefox. The whole thing is very circular; the upgrade buttons lead nowhere, and the app store doesn't seem to sell Lion. Any ideas as to what's happening, or, more important, where I can buy Lion online?

I have recently purchased a new iMac with Lion. It will not open any of the PDF;s that I had stored and stransferred from my previous iMac which used Tiger becasuse those PDF's were opened with Adobe Reader, which Lion apparently doesn.'t support. Yet almost all aricles on the web that give you the option of saving them as PDF's require the use of Adobe Reader. Is there any way around this, or is there simply no way to read and save PDF's with Lion?

It appears that I'm unable to sign-in to the App Store. The place is well found under the apple sign and in the dashboard and both respond well to all demands except for the 'sign-in'. None of my other 5 Apple computers render this problem.  The actual computer is a MacPro4,1, Quad-Core Intel xeon, 16 Gb Memory and Boot ROM version MP41.0081.808. All software inclusive OS X 10.7.3 811D50d) is actual and up to date.Â

I run a bunch of labs at a university and we have been recently forced to move to mac OSX 10.7 as the newer imacs will not boot to older systems.On the surface this all seems fine except for the annoying App Store issues. Apart from the bulk education purchase problem (ie. there is none) - there is a really annoying Bug with some kind of background update check, this window pops up at random: (I finally identified the culprit as the App Store)Â Clicking 'Cancel' only causes the window to pop-up again a minute or several seconds later.Yes the Students and Academics could put in their personal proxy details, however this seems like a major flaw as there is no way to turn it off.Â

I have purchased and downloaded iMovie from the Mac App store. However now I'm getting an error everytime it launches: Â The QuickTime components necessary to view, edit, import, and export several kinds of movies are not installed. These components are included with the iMovie installer; re-install.Â
I'm happy to reinstall iMovie- but I got it from the app store. When I visit the iMovie page on the app store, it says "installed" and gives me NO options to re-install. Seems pretty short-sighted on Apple's part.

I am trying to purchase Lion from the App Store on my MacBook Pro. Every time I click on the "Buy App" button, I have to log-in 3 times (twice to verify billing info), and then the "waiting" wheel next to the forward and back buttons just keeps spinning. I have checked "Purchases" but it is not there. I have restarted my computer but that didn't help. I have made sure that my computer is compatible with Lion

I was just having a browse through my purchased Apps on the Mac App Store. As you can see I am running Lion 10.7.3, however Lion appears in my purchased items but gives me the option to "Download" instead of "Downloaded".Â
I know its months away but I am concerned about this possibly interfering with the Mountain Lion update. Â

how to reinstall the Mac App Store in Lion 10.7.4?

So I downloaded and installed OS X Lion months back. I kept the App. Some how it got deleted. Everywhere I read it says it can be redownloaded. By holding down "Option" and opening the App store and holding down "Option" while in the App store to download the app. None of this works for me though.
Info:iPhone 4s, iOS 5
If you install OS X lion, will be everything erased or not? Â

I tend to keep my desktop clean, but current projects stay in a folder on the desktop for the duration of work. Lion won't leave the folders where they are, but instead it is creating dated folders in Documents> Desktop and leaving the files there. If I wanted to nest the files away I would have done so myself. The actual Desktop area is empty. It's kind of infuriating. Any clues as to how to make it stop doing this and leave my files where I put them?
