I downloaded Adobe Shockwave Player, but when trying to launch a downloaded Shockwave game, it opens a DOS dialog box as a text file instead. I have just purchased a new iMac from being a lifelong Windows user.
Info:
iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.0.x)
Whilst I realise that these games are for the PC, I have just switched to a Mac and would like to continue playing these games.Is there any way of getting my Mac to be able to do this?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
I purchased my imac in late June 2011 and updated software to Lion in July. Everything worked fine until December 2011 and the flash player disappeared. I have tried to install the adobe flash player they recommend for Lion and it will not install. I then read a post from Klaus 1 who gave the links and said to install adobe shockwave which I did and it worked for about 1 hour then it disappeared.

I have an iBook G4 using 10.4.11 and the newest version of shockwave 11.5. My problem is that running a shockwave site eats up my CPU cycles and nearly overheats my iBook. First, what is the difference between hardwave and software rendering? Second, with the full install instead of the slim, what can I do differently in the full?
The most important thing is: how can I get shockwave to not eat up CPU cycles and memory?
Ever since running the latest Safari update on my imac every time I visit a page with shockwave it gives me an error and locks up safari.

so I click 'Go' and it takes me to a download page. I download Shockwave and it installs and everybody's happy. Well, everyone but me! I try to re-access the site and it gives me the same dialogue box... I try restarting the computer, but nothing happens.
I have a program called Free Memory.It shows you how much available RAM you have left to use. Last week, my available RAM, which is usually somewhere between 3GB-5GB, was down at about 250MB! I checked the RAM usage in Activity Monitor, and it showed that Quicktime was using about 5GB of RAM. Yes 5GB.I closed Quicktime and the RAM jumped back up.I reopened it and I could actually watch as my RAM just poured off. In less than 2 minutes, it went from 5GB available to about 100 MB again.Today, the same thing happened, but the RAM sucker was Shockwave. Has anybody heard of this happening before? If so, what is the solution?Here is some more info. In the "console" I often get these --- Exception Type:
EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)A few months back, the Genius Bar people wiped my hard drive clean and we reloaded my stuff from a back up. Maybe there are still issues.

I need a program (preferably free since this is a school project) that can convert a shockwave movie into mpeg-4 so I can add and edit it in an iMovie project.

This might be a coincidence but I set up a new 2Tb Time Capsule today and assumed all was working as planned. I setup Time Machine to refer to the Time Capsule drive and the backups have been performed in keeping with the schedule etc. My issue is that for some reason the Disk Utility doesn't display. The icon will bob in the dock and then after that nothing happens. Like I said, coincidence? Latest OS X Lion 10.7.4 with one External HD attached and working as expected. In fact I used the Disk Utility only two days ago to format said external drive.

I am a Windows user , An old user since 90's , Yesterday I was really impressed by the new iMac the OS and its smoothness and responsiveness and the sleek interface , I am thinking seriously to switch to Mac but the problem is most games and multimedia apps are not working with the Mac ,major games like GTA IV and FIFA 12 are not compatible and the companies need to make a special version for Mac like Office and Norton So apart from being here in Apple forum ..What's the right decision should I take ..switiching to Mac or waiting for Windows 8 to release ?

View 5 Replies View RelatedOn MacBook Pro Retina, running, OS X 10.9.3, this problem recently started to occur:
Upon launching Apple Mail. the InBox will briefly display the messages in the mailbox, then clear the messges and reload from the mail server. Depending on the number of messages in the Inbox, this can take some time.
This only occurs if an internet connection is available. Otherwise, the mail stays put.
I have tried deleting and recreating both the mail server mailbox and the Apple Mail account (not at the same time), without success.
