How to work with emulators on Mac system

Sponsored Links
Hello I have got the new mac book and this is very good although I have found lots of frustrating thing on this. I am using 10.7.2 after running snow leopard and I have found the below problem on this new mac book: every time when I try downloading anything from browser downloads file default location and I don’t get any option to save where I want. I want to download specific file in specific location but I can’t do this because I not getting any option. I had installed the PowerPC application on previous system and this working very good without any issue but now PowerPC no longer works on lion. I have also updated this application but nothing helped me. Third one I need to know how we can run windows programs in best way; I have lots of windows app and programs which simply don't have mac counterpart. So can anyone suggest on these problems and so that I can solve mine issue.

Re: How to work with emulators on Mac system

With the Safari browser you can’t change download location because always downloads to the Downloads folders no matter, if you want to save download file location in different path then I would like to suggest you to download the browser like Opera, Firefox, Chrome on your system and through this web browser you can change the download location where you want. As you said that you’re not able to run PowerPC application on snow leopard, with the Mac OS X operating system there is an emulator called Rosetta which enable the application to run properly without any issue although on leopard this emulator not available. So you can solve this download issue on your system and for application I would like to recommend you install other app which similar to PowerPC application.

This depending on program which you’re using. Like Parallels/VMware are very good although not worthy for games. If you want to run games or other thing you should have powerful 3D acceleration for this I would like to suggest you VMware because Parallels isn’t right one. What's the best way these days to run windows programs? I think VMware is one of the best product…

This is Firefox setting issue and to solve this you need to go through these steps: In Firefox, go to Firefox > Preferences > general tab and select "always ask me where to save files" checkbox. Now once you doen and after that save setting and then just restart the Firefox.

Re: How to work with emulators on Mac system

If above all steps not working to solve your issue, then I would like to suggest you to make restore all setting to default and after that go through your issue, even I have got the same issue and I have just restored the all setting of my browser and after that I have solved mine issue. So I would like to suggest you this and after that let me know…
