How do I run games now?

So... There's Mountain Lion. I've noticed that it will refuse to open any programs I download or run off a disk, giving a pop up warning saying that it may be untrustworthy then having a deceptive "Ok" button, leading me to believe it will then open the program but instead quits. Unless I right click and select open from the menu, and even then, it doesn't just open it it gives a pop up giving "Open" and "Cancel" options. Of which I loathe entirely with every fiber of my being, but its a small problem overall. However, I've noticed that all of my, relatively new and designed to work on the latest Mac OS, games that use executable files embedded in the application will no longer open after updating. It doesn't give a pop up, it doesn't give a "Do you want to report Crash?" after it crashes, its just now unplayable. It starts to open then quits immediately. However, it is playable before I install the newest patches for the game. Leading me to believe that if I had installed the latest patches before upgrading to mountain lion the games would run, and also that these two issues are related. I believe that the program runs perfectly fine on Mountain Lion, but Mountain Lion is not letting it open. This issue occurs on both my iMac and MBP, and every game of that kind.
Is there a way to make the games run?
Is there a way to disable this feature so I can test it without it on?
Is there an instruction guide on how to hack into the OS and remove the feature from the core files??
Or should I just downgrade back to Lion and demand my money back from Apple?
I appologize for the slight dramatics, I get like this when I waste an entire 2 full days reinstalling games that worked perfectly fine before updating
(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

Okay...
Well, I had only The Sims 3 base game installed on my iMac, with some old old version (not the one it started on but it wasn't too many patches from there) that I installed before upgrading to ML and it ran fine on ML. I installed the latest patch (8258-1.38.151.018002) and all 14 stuff and expansions and it stopped working, I installed the patch again and it didn't help. On my MBP I had The Sims 3 base game and all 9 stuff and expansions up to Pets installed with the 7357-1.29.55.014001 patch that I installed before upgrading to ML and it ran perfectly fine on ML, then I updated it to the latest patch too and installed the 5 new stuff and expansions and it stopped working.
I installed the base game at a different location and it doesn't run on its own, I applied the latest patch and Unknown Error Occured (at least it says something)
I also have the exact same kind of problem with Spore, and I'm too tired to remember if there was anything else.

  • I just updated my iPad and don't know how to clear running programs now

    I have just updated my iPad. When I try to delete or stop the programs running I am doing it the way I used to do it before it was updated by double tapping the on/off button. When I do this, it shows the programs I was using on the bottom of the screen. But when I press the icon to look for the minus sign to remove it, it doesn't happen.  iIt just makes that website come up. So, something has changed with the new update but I can't figure it out. Can someone tell me what to do? Thank you.

    Sigh......does no one search to see if anyone else has asked the same question?
    As before, double tap your home button.  You'll see the apps in use on the bottom and a page view of the open version above the app on the bottom.  With your finger, slide the open version of the app upwards towards the top of the iPad and the app will close........

    I suspect you have the original, 1G iPod touch. Those can only go as high as iOS 3.1.3,
    If y ohave a 2G those can go as high as 4.2.1
    Identifying iPod models
    To update
    The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.
    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.

    I have a new Macbook Air, 6 months old, and for the last few days the fan had run continuously, this is the first time it has ever run, and now it won't stop, the fan starts up as soon as I turn it on and the computer seems to running more slowy.The computer is not hot but I am worried it may burn out,.Any ideas on how I can fix this please ?

    Hello dwb,
    Here is the screen shot, just the top half, there are another 10 pages, but I guess this should enough for you to have an idea of waht is going on, bit small I am afraid. No, I don't have any apps setup to run when I open my computer, the kernel, varies between 290 and 305 per cent ish.
    Would that PRAM thing help ? I think it may be the computer itself, well something inside, as this the first time that the fan has ever started running since I have this computer, even when I have 3 or 4 apps running.
    Thank you again for your advice,
    Regard,

    It is not available in Mail any longer (for quite a while, now).
    You can add a rule to have Mail mark them as junk, or you could possibly log onto your Email provider's web site and block that address.

    To get any add-on or plug-in off Firefox:
    1. Type Ctrl+Shift+A
    2. NoScript will either be under 'Extensions' or 'Plugins'
    3. Once you have found it, click the 'Disable' or 'Remove' button (whichever you want to use).
    4. And you never have to put up with NoScript again!

  • How to run games on ipod nano 2nd generation with firmware 1.1.1

    Does anyone know if you can run games on the 2nd generation ipod nano with the latest firmware of 1.1.1 when the itunes store with games wants the system to have firmware 1.2.
    This means that the games must only work on 1st generation ipods or that 2nd generation ipod nanos do not need this level of firmware.
    Games are not loading on my ipod.
    Any advice?

  • I compiled now how do I run the program

    Hi,
    I have installed J2SE. I have written a .java file that successfully compiles in MS DOS (I have a Windows 2000 platform). This program has JPanes, Jpanels etc. How do I run this program? I am guessing it is not through DOS.
    Seems so simple but I don't know how and can't find the answer on Sun's website.
    Can anyone help?

  • How Can I Run A SQLJ Normal Project In SAP NWDS

    I have a question about SQLJ in SAP NWDS.
    1.I created a java dictionary project,and then create the table , then depoly it.it's ok.

    3.I used the SQLJ tech in the java normal project,exporting the opensqllib.jar,sqljapi.jar,sqljc.jar,sqljimpl.jar.
    4.I coded the normal project,and export the project .jar,everything is ok.

    How Can I Run A SQLJ Normal Project In SAP NWDS?
    PLS Help me and don't let me alone!

    Tony,
    Why not try to import your SQLJ project in SAP NWDS. Add all the jars mentioned to the project path both for compile time as well as runtime. Now try running he project. Once you are able to bypass java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError, you will get other errors related to SQL statements. These Oracle SQL statements needs to be converted to OpenSQL format.
    Chill out!!!

  • I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, can't join existing wireless network with AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC wifi turned off.  How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. working fine with TM

    I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, I just found out that it can't join existing wireless network with new AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC's wifi turned off.  How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. It is working fine with TM.  My cheeper seagate drives etc kept crashing, so i didnt trust cheeper back up options anymore.  Connected those drives to TM via firewire and could see the drives and access them.
    Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed.  I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.  I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast. Getting over 50mbs downloads and over 30mbs uploads.  Plus everything in my home it connected to my fios router, airport express for music streaming, two apple tvs, vuezone camer system.  I really didn't want to monkey around too much with my system.  But are there other options to connect the new TC.  Can't find info anywhere for this and called apple who gave me the info above.  after hanging up, i see that i cant access my TC and I am wondering if i would have to reset it to turn wifi on again to make changes to the drive, turn off blinking light  or repair it in disk utility if it should become corrupted.
    For other with similar issues i did solve some other problems: when i connected it to my ethernet port on my iMac wifi stopped working.  Found that I had to turn off the ethernet in the system>network screen, but then TM didn't see the TC so i restarted after changes and then it saw it.
    Now a rant.  I can't believe in this wireless age that Apple would make a product that cant join a wireless net work.  The apple rep said i could return it and look for the previous TC that would join an existing wireless network.  Are we going backwards?
    Thanks!

    Ok... it is getting a bit clearer but there are still some questions.
    I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast.
    I was assuming airport in this statement in your first post meant the TC or the Express.. but I now realise we are still in the mass confusion stage where apple calls everything wireless an airport. So what you mean is the airport internal card of the computer??
    Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed.  I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.
    I think this is mistaken.
    Putting the TC in bridge mode plugged into your FIOS will not slow the network.. nor will it cause mail or port issues.. in bridge the TC is just a fancy WAP and switch plus the network hard drive.
    If the computer is close it will be faster than the FIOS.
    You can run both wireless networks with different names.. so it is clear which is which. But you can also setup roaming so the computers themselves pick which is the best wireless.
    I tried extending the wireless net work and tried joining wireless network, but the TC kept crashing and I had to keep resetting the TC.  the Apple support person said these, extend wireless network and joint wireless network, are no longer a connection option with the new TC because of the new AC protocol.
    Thanks again!
    You cannot extend to a non-apple wireless router.
    You cannot use join a wireless network because when you do the ethernet ports will be cut off.
    But that has not changed.. I don't think Apple support is correct.. there has been no change with the AC model.. it is simply a fact that apple routers do not work in join wireless mode other than as a dumb client. The same applies to AC as to the earlier version.. but I have asked another person to check this.
    Join in the express is the only apple router that still allows an ethernet connection.
    For now you best use of the TC is bridged to the FIOS. Wireless you can sort out between several options.
