I recently just got a new MacBook Pro and I had my Sims 3 game from when it first came out.However, the game isn't being recognized by the computer. The case shows that the game is compatible with Windows and Mac. I heard if you install to Windows you can't install to Mac right?
Info:MacBookPro
My Macbook Pro that I bought in Sept 09 keeps rejecting the sims 3 disk. It doesn't do this with any other disk. I had once installed and played the sims 3 just fine on my laptop but I can't even get the cd to load anymore so can't install it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedBefore the drive stopped working on my macbook, i was able to install the sims 2 and all of the expansion packs!, they are all updated to UB. When i run the game it goes So Slow!, i mean slower than the sims 3, which runs pretty slow. I have a late 2007 macbook, with 2GB ram, Intel GMA X3100, 120GB HDD, core 2 duo 2.2Ghz. Do i meet the requirements?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just got sims 3. Running on the 13 inch mbp fairly well. A little too much stuttering for me though. My question is, to anyone who has this game, have you found the write settings where the game runs 100% smooth? I'll sacrifice graphics for smoothness. Wanted to know what the general consensus is for to game to get running really smooth. Didnt want to just bring all my sliders down to a minimum without knowing what I am doing. It seems as if when I play sims 3, the fan is on high rev, throughout the whole time.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have the new MBP. I'm running OS 10.5.6 2.53 ghz intro core 2 duo 4 gigs of ram. I have enough to run it. I had issues installing it. It told me I needed 1 mb to run it. so I drug the folder into the mac HD. When the base game works perfectly. I have all the expansion games. Which works on my IMac running the same thing & my old MBP. When I install the first expansion pack & launch it the error reads. The application the sims 2 quit unexpectedly & it says the same thing when I want to relaunch.

When using other PC's / notebooks it all works fine, except my own Macbook. Other browsers on my Mc , have the same problem.

I have managed to use crossover to install my PC version of the Sims 2, but I am unable to play the game. When I start the game it asks that I insert the disk, which is already been inserted. How to sort this? or maybe make it available to run without the disk?
View 2 Replies View Related I tried installing Sims 3 on my MBP but for some reason it stops at 569 out of 600 files so I force quitted and tried again and got the same results and force quitted subsequently too. I did that about 4 times. Sims 3 would put about 6 GB on your HD and I found out afterwards I had about 24 GB missing after that attempted installs. How can I remove that 24 GB?
Running Snow Leopard btw.
OS: Mavericks 10.9.4Â
I have Sims Medieval on DVD disc. Yesterday, when I inserted it into my Mac, it said the disc was blank. I have played the game on my Mac before, though I do not think I have tried to play it since I upgraded to Mavericks in March this year. I last had Snow Leopard, and it worked fine.Â
I did put the disc into a Windows machine today and it recognised that it was a Sims game (dual OS disc) and showed me the files.Â
I have never run into this type of problem before, and I don't own any other software on disc that runs on only Mac or both Mac and Windows so I can see if it is just this program.Â
I have found one thread on a website where people have had the same problem, but no one has a solution and they're all moaning about EA not fixing it, when the game came out in 2011 and so I think the problem is with Mavericks, not EA.

I am thinking about purchasing the new Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display. I would like to know if "Sims 3" and its' expansions packs are playable on this mac with the assistance of an Apple USB Super-drive.

I had it repaired at the mac store and iphoto and imovie are missing, probably along with some other applications. I've tried looking for the install cd for it but I can't find it, now I'm starting to wonder if it even had one. If it doesn't, can I go back to the apple store and have them re-install my programs?

So I just bought my first Mac and I bought it as a open box. When i turned it on the Word was in spanish but everything else in English, and whoever had this laptop before me still has it registered to them (I'm guessing). I need to know how to reset it. I want it to be like i bought it brand new and not have anything that the person before me had on it.

I bought my Mac a little over a month ago and I'm really not impressed with it. I keep seeing the little rainbow wheel all the time. When I try to load a YouTube video the whole machine just stops working and becomes unresponsive for about 4-5 seconds. Also, when flicking between tabs on Safari it intimitantly becomes unresponsive. I don't do any heavy power consuming things on my mac. It's basically just for college and recently all I've been doing is using Safari, Spotify and Bittorent. I don't know what I should do. Whether to take it back to Apple or just deal with it. My old Acer laptop was fine dealing with this sort of stuff so I'm really unsure. I feel quite let down although I am a total apple fanboy. Â

I am between two laptops, the MBP 15 with retina display and i7 2.7ghz(third generation) and a dell precission m4600 with 2.7(second generation).Same other specs. 8gb ram, ssd, the difference are the gpu, geforce 650M, and the precission has a quadro2000.I will use windows almost the hole time, cause of CAD, and other win programs. But I will be only using 2d cad drawings mainly, so I believe I dont need a quadro. In addition, I want to be able to play some games, like wow or diablo3.So I will need bootcamp. The performance of windows on bootcamp, will be the same as a windows pc native? I read some issues with the wifi, is it true are there other issues? I believe i will have two partition of 512/2 gb for each OS

I recently purchased a mid-2012 MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.3 GHz, non-retina) and I have been receiving Kernel Panic error messages. The screen goes black with white text in multiple languages warning me to shut down my computer and the computer freezes. I have called Apple customer service multiple times. We tried multiple things, including wipe the hard drive and reinstall OS X Lion, but I still get Kernel Panics. One thing I did notice in the "send to Apple" report is that it mentions Google Chrome. It seems whenever I do get a Kernel Panic I am using Chrome. Here are the applications I have installed (besides the default Apple ones):Coda 2Final Cut Pro XTwitterGoogle Chrome Right now, as suggested by the second Apple associate, I uninstalled Google Chrome, to see if that was the cause. She says that it could be related to that or from a software update (which I doubt considering I have yet to install any updates since I reinstalled Lion).Â
