Intel Mac :: Most Games And Multimedia Apps Are Not Working With It?
Apr 4, 2012
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 ?

I have tried unsuccessfully to download Nokia Multimedia Transfer. I have also tried unsuccessfully to remove it. When I startup my iMac the Nokia application is open waiting to setup Bluetooth. I have tried to do this but still to no avail. I am unable to remove the icon from the desktop. There is no icon in the Applications folder in the Dock. The operating system is OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Info:
iWeb '08, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Both cards in OSX are reported as they should be and show acceleration, etc.I've noticed that the couple of games I've tried on the OSX side don't work right (well don't display right anyway) plus more bothersome is the fact that in VMware Fusion (2.05) running XP with DirectX acceleration turned on for the virtual machine, *any* software that runs and tries to use DirectX makes Fusion throw an error about the virtual machine performing invalid operations. (the error is thrown on the OSX side, not in the XP virtual machine)

How do Universal apps, actually compare in performance as compared to Intel binary apps? Yeah, sure, they're "native" speeds, but surely there must be some erformance hit? I mean, it DOES contain two binaries.

I'm getting rid of the bulk on my desk and that means out goes the aging 5.1 Logitech z6800. Still stacks up well against the best of them but it's just too bulky with the control pod and such.
I'm looking for some 2.0 without the subwoofer. The H/K Soundstick II intrigued me a little but I'm narrowing my search down to subwoofer-less setup for now. It doesn't necessarily have to be the best sounding but something minimalist and isn't going to sound tinny.

I have a couple of Dell Multimedia keyboards, Windows/PC obviously, model SK-8135. In addition to special dedicated keys for web/home, e-mail, back & forward web browser button and calculator, it has a rotary volume knob and playback controls for audio/visual.
Is there a add-on program or patch that can translate such functions from a PC keyboard to iMac?

is there an app out there where there is a monthly calendar where photos/videos with date/time information is automatically added to the correct day and you can then see a thumbnail of the media on each day when you zoom out and see the whole month on the calendar.

with user upload of pics, audio, video and text. The ability to annotate pics would be nice. Each main item page in the database would need to be accessible by: URL?<target info> Either a hosted service or a system I can install on my own servers would be great.

My games have gone away from my launchpad. Instead my dock shows up. Where have my games gone to? I know they are in my download, but it was so much easier in my launchpad.

First the specifics: I have a MacPro, Version 10.6.2 for OSX. I did the latest update that showed for Safari. It went to reboot and just sat there and hung. I waited for 10 minutes, then manually restarted the Mac. It came up, but then when I went to open Mail, I got an error that it couldn't open. I then clicked on ok, and tried to open another app, and it wouldn't open. I tried with several apps with the same result. I downloaded the MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.2.dmg and ran it with no problems, and the Apps will still not open?

Looking at current SSD's and they do seem to offer exceptional performance. Have a little spare budget after the 6-core purchase and was wondering..
Add a (modest)
SSD as a boot and app disk?
SSD as a working/scratch disk?
Now - we all would like the biggest, fastest etc etc. But taking another view,ie in 6 months time there are going to be cheaper, faster,bigger, better value for money. So - for design CS4/5, 3D...looking for drive big enough to make worthwhile testing the water. Still a bewildering amount of options out there. A starting point seems to be 60G OCZ vertex 2 ?

My Trackpad on my MacBook isn't working properly. I can move the arrow around the screen but I'm unable to open any applications. I plugged in a mouse and it works fine. The trackpad settings in system preferences seem fine, I didn't spill any liquid on it and didn't let it fall.

I am planning to purchase the 2012 iMac when it's released. I currently have a 2010 iMac with 4670M which I sometimes play games on. At the moment I switch to Boot Camp for playing Windows games. I wonder if I could just use Parallels with the 2012 iMac, with its more powerful hardware, to avoid rebooting each time I want to play a game. Do you think this would work well with "graphically complex" Windows games like Rage, Stalker, DiRT Showdown, even Battlefield 3? Is there DirectX 11 support?
