Forum Discussion
I've tried to download os x yosemite but it wouldn't download , and i don't really have icloud
and what do you mean by back it up ??
Backup - copy all your documents (music, photos etc.) onto an external hard drive/USB stick or some other peripheral storage device just in case something goes wrong in the install.
You don't have iCloud? Log in with your iTunes ID and password.
When you say Yosemite won't download, what do you mean? Are you getting an error message? How about Lion (OS X 10.7) or Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8) or Mavericks (OS X 10.9)? Without knowing which Mac you have I can't advise as to the operating system you can install. I did ask for this in my original post, but you only provided minimum information - are you on a 2012 iMac or a 2015 13" MacBook Pro etc.?
Are you also running OS X 10.6.8? You need to upgrade if you are.
i am downloading yosemite as we speak should this work? i am running snow leopard
ive just spoken to EA and this guy is right snow leopard laptops wont run sims 4 but at the moment if you go into your app store you can downlaod yosemite which will allow sims 4 to work!
I wouldn't provide Mac help if I didn't know what I was talking about 😉 It does state very clearly in the system requirements that the game requires OS X 10.7.5 or later - http://www.thesims.com/en_GB/mac#mac-requirements
yeah turns out i should learn to listen to people. i dont even know how to work my mac im *
i mean that when i click download nothing really happen
Go to Purchases in the top of the App Store window. Is the download showing up there? It will be a big download and may take hours depending on your connection speed.
finally it starts to download , i hope i can install the sims 4 after it finish downloading
Let us know how you get on 🙂
of course , it's just taking too long
Yep, it's a BIG download. It will then take a while to install and then your Mac will restart a couple of times. Whatever you do don't unplug it or force it to shut down while it's installing. Just be patient and let it do it's thing 🙂
finally the sims 4 is installed now thank you , but when i click on play , it tells me that it's unable to start and origin is not running !!
Open Origin first and then launch the game?
