Knights of the Old Republic slow in 10.4.4

Ok, ever since I've updated to Mac OS X 10.4.4, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic has been running extremely slow to the point were it's impossible to play. Does anybody have any ideas as to why this is happening? Everything else on my computer is running pretty much just like it used to before the 10.4.4 update. Please, help me.

where do you keep the program?
if you keep it in the Application folder move it to the top level.
from the finder click on your hard-drive and create a folder I call mine "Games"
move KOR to the new folder.
since this was recommend to me I moved all my games there and haven't had a problem.
after you move KOR run a App like Disk Warrior, and repair permissions from your install disk.

  • Will kotor (knights of the old republic) play on my macbook pro?

         my old laptop finally died and i was mainly looking for a place to store my itunes library, mainly use my ipad for work, games, mail and facebook of course.  so when i need a new laptop i figured i'd try a mac.   so not too concerned with its capabilities i bought a 13" macbook pro 2.4, late 2011.  i didn't realize there was a mac app store and was pleasantly suprised to see one of my old favorites (kotor) on the app store.   however, im not entirely computer literate and i am not sure if it will run on my macbook.   so if someone could help me figure this out i would appreciate it
    my macbook pro specs:
    MacBook Pro
    13-inch, late 2011
    Processor 2.4GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
    Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50d)
    thanks in advance.

    Templeton's the Man.
    Word of warning to save you from surprises. The 13" MBPs have Shared Video Memory. This means that the main memory is used both for holding all the programs you are running at any given time, the files those programs may be working on, AND the space needed for storing all that's being displayed on the screen. Plus, the Core i5 processor and the graphics processor have to take turns at getting to all that information. This means that although games will run on that computer, if they are very graphics intensive, performance may be less than expected. Because of this and since you are using Lion 10.7.3, it may be advantageous to upgrade the memory to 8GB. Upgrade kits from reputable RAM suppliers like Corsair, Kingston, etc.,run the range of $45 to $60.

  • Gaming - Knights of the Old Republic Windows XP or Mac Edition (Aspyr)

    Hi,
    We just got the new Macbook Pro 2.4 GHZ, with the NVidia 9600 GT. I've successfully installed Windows XP Boot Camp. Being an old Windows user, though, I would love to play some old games, like KOTOR 1 and 2, Warcraft III and Silent Hunter III and IV, and perhaps the upcoming Starcraft 2 and Diablo III.
    However, I had a question. Would those games run in Bootcamp? Is there a site on the Internet that deals with Boot Camp gaming? Finally, would I be better to get KOTOR 1 for Mac or get both KOTOR 1 and 2 for Windows? I've read that KOTOR 1 for Mac is still not Universal Binary, and this may cause problems.
    Anyway, any advice regarding this would be appreciated. Finally, I have yet to download any Windows Updates, and was wondering if any are really worth it or I should just stick with SP 2 and DX 9.0C?
    Thanks!

    All AV programs have their pros and cons. I'm running McAfee VirusScan V8.5i but that choice was dictated only by the fact that I'm covered by a corporate license.
    I'd also recommend:
    The free malware sweeper Spybot Search & Destroy to supplement whatever AV you're going to run:
    http://www.spybot.com/en/spybotsd/index.html
    Paragon NTFS, to give you read/write access to your Windows partition from your OSX desktop:
    http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/
    MediaFour MacDrive to give you read/write access to all your Mac formatted volumes (inc HDD's CD's DVD Roms, iPods etc) from your Windows Desktop.
    http://www.media4.com/products/macdrive/
    Neither of the last two are essential, but they do make life a lot easier.

  • Star wars Knights of the old republic

    Yeah, so I have the game and everything and I'm on a MacBook Pro and I can't figure out how to move my character around? All of the settings are on default. The game runs perfectly I just can't figure it out. Thanks!

    Hi, I was thinking of buying this, but there is nothing to tell you how it works, and what the controls are like.  Obviously you figured it out, but you could tell me before I buy it?  Is it mostly on the keyboard?  Does it need a mouse?  Is it possible to use an XBox controller with it?

  • Anyone played Star Wars: The Old Republic on Macbook pro 13 inch?

    Just wondered if anyone had played Star Wars The Old Republic on the 13 inch MBP. Im considering buying the new 13 inch, 2.9ghz i7, but not sure about Intel HD 4000, has anyone had much success with the Intel HD 3000 on previous model. Im guessing bootcamp is the best way to play it.
    Thanks

  • Running windows 7 to play Star Wars the old republic

    I recently bought Star Wars The Old Republic MMO and wanted to play it on my Mac Book Pro [I do not have the current gen. MBP being sold I have the model previous]
    I went out to my local apple store and bought parallels deskdop 7 after reading the reviews on it. [~$80]
    I then went out and purchased windows 7 [~$200]
    Installed both.....
    and im told that my mac does not have enough processing power to play the game?  I used to play world of warcraft on it with no problem.  Should I buy a different program that runs windows 7 solo so Im not splitting up my processing power? Or will I just not have the ability to play this game on this mac?
    Have anyone else come across any similar issues or tried to do the same?
    When I attempt to play the game the game window will not stretch to fill the entire screen, it drops down to a smaller window which isnt large enough to effectively play the new game. 
    Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Ask your question in the Boot Camp forum.  Alternatively, you should contact Parallels.  This forum is to discuss the MacBook Pro hardware, not how to set up a game. 

  • Star Wars: The Old Republic

    Just to say, I think we in the apple community should push apple and the makers of star wars the old republic to make there games able to run on Mac OS. I know for a fact that any macbook and macbook pro from 2010 and up can easily run the game nativly and probably much better since it's a mac!

  • Will using the old express slow down my network?

    I want to setup a network without being connected to the internet, with an Extreme N connected to an external drive, AppleTV, and Airport Express for music.
    1. If I use the old Express that is not running at N speed, will this significantly slow down my network?
    2. If I setup my network with the old one and later upgrade to the new one, is it a big deal to delete the old one off the network and add the new one?
    Thanks.

    You can have an N network with a G subnetwork. You connect the WAN connector of the G router to a LAN port of the N router. You set the N router to work only at N, that is without support for G networks. Let the G router handle those.

  • I want to play Star wars the old republic,

    I want to play Star wars the old repubic, Im about to get a new macbook pro with retina display if I upgrade as much as I can afford, about $3000 will I be able to play the game straight out of the box with boot camp and windows 7 or 8, and will the game run with pretty good performance without further upgrade, this is what I would be putting onto the macbook.
    2.6GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
    16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
    512GB Flash Storage
    Apple USB SuperDrive
    Backlit Keyboard (English) & User's Guide (English)
    Im good with macs, but not really good at figuring which would be the best at playing the game!
    thanks!

    Checking out compatibility with Lion seems fine, but I don't know about Mountain Lion - you may want to contact the developer. I never got into games on a Mac, but your configuration should work without any problems.

  • I want to get Star Wars the old republic on my mac.

    If I use bootcamp, do I also need to get windows? Or can I just install SWTOR and run it through boot camp? (I am admittedly a novice)

    You will need a copy of Windows.

  • I have ipad 1 how do i move my library from my very old computer to my new laptop i dont know what the difference is in mac or pc either and i havent backed up my library on the old one because its so slow

    i have an ipad 1 how do i move my library (for old ipod nano)( this a brand new ipad i hvaent synced yet) thats on a 2001 computer to my new laptop i got last christmas. i havent backed up anything cause the old computer is too slow. i tried home sharing but it just wont work. the help gave me an option of moving everything on my ipad and then moving it to the laptop. im just afraid that it will delete everyhting cause it doesnt mention ipad

    I found this article some time ago when I was trying to help someone else in this same situation. This is a copy and paste from the website. The website is provided below for you to read before you try this.
    Plug your phone into iTunes
    Click setup as a new device
    Immediately unplug your phone from the computer
    Give it about 30 seconds and iTunes will give a message (I don’t remember the specific, but regarding you unplugging the device and it not completing)
    Plug your phone back in
    Viola! no restore occurred and you can access everything again
    This computer has previously synced with an iPhone or another iOS device.

  • How do I transfer my iTunes library from an old, slow pc laptop to a newer faster pc laptop? Do I have to take a copy of my iTunes library on the hard drive of the old(er) pc laptop and load it onto the hard drive of my new(er) pc laptop?

    How do I transfer my iTunes library from an old, slow pc laptop to a new(er), faster pc laptop? Do I have to make a copy of the iTunes library on the old pc laptop and re-install it on the new(er) pc laptop? Is it something that can de done using the actual iPod itself?

    This is the method I would normally recommend:
    Backup with this User Tip, restore the library to the new computer using the same tool, keep the backup up-to-date in future. Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer need to access protected content on it.
    You can use your iPod classic to move your library to a new computer but if you don't already have a backup copy of the library (and your other important data) now is the time to think about it.

    Hi,
    I have had bt broadband opt3 for almost 3 months now and have always had a healthy 9mb+ connection, however have noticed it being very slow in the evening when I come home from work, I checked the speed last nite as iplayer was constantly freezing and was getting 1mb . A bit upset by this as I got bt broadband to play my ps3 online and to get faster speeds on my laptop, and I use these services mostly at nite.
    I checked my speed this morning and was getting 11mb, is this normal or am I being capped I cant believe Id be going over my download limit. Can someone from bt get back to me on this?
    Thanks
    John

    Yes Alison, I think I can see that now. I wouldnt mind if broadband was a bit slower at peak times, I know thats normal, but when I'm only getting 1mb when my max is 14mb, I just dont feel I'm getting what I pay for. And when it gets to the point where I cant watch iplayer without it stuttering everywhere and online games lagging on the ps3, this is certainly not what I'm paying for.
    I was hoping one of the mods here would help me and check my line and see if there is any cap on the line and get it removed.
    I really dont wanna phone India, I deal with them 5 days a week as is...
    Think I will just send one of the mods an email to check my line and see if it is being capped or if somethings wrong.

    You will never get decent speeds on Iplayer,
    BT limit it because they want you to subscribe to their precious BT Vision service.
    The only way you are guaranteed to get decent speeds on BT is to subscibe to BT Vision and also unlimited broadband.
    Then you will get priority when you stream TV at your exchange unlike fighting it out with all the other broadband users as you currently are for the available bandwith.the more over subscribed your local exchange the worse it is

    Hi John,
    I can take a look at the network side of things for you, to see if there is anything I can do to help improve your speed during peak periods. Please could you drop me an email with your BT account details? Please also include a link to this thread. It would also be very helpful if you could run a few speed tests using www.speedtester.bt.com when you feel your Broadband is running slow. I can then check those results from here.
    Thanks

    Well John i'll tell you what it is...
    First of all welcome to BT and I hope you'll enjoy 18months of pain and suffer.
    OK here it goes....
    If you look at your contract, find a rule that says Fair Usage Policy.
    Basically it states that BT will cap anyone that is abusing their lines.
    However, it does not say what are the limits after which you are going to be capped for how long and at what times. (I'll come back to this later and explain)
    If you ring 08007076044 I'm sure that someone will confirm my theory. As constant 1MBit between 6PM till 11/12 PM is actually FUP applied on to your account.
    Ok time to explain my frustration about FUP.
    Since I signed my contract with "lovely" BT for constant 4 months I had similar issue but it took me even longer to find out what is going on and how to deal with this problem (thanks to google).
    FUP team states that if you exceed 100GB in a month (everyone will admit that these days 100GB is nothing when a single game for PS3/XBox360/PC sometimes is more than 5GB and 1080p film is about 12GB) will cap you for a month at peak times to outstanding and superfast 1Mbit (about 130-150KB/s).
    I'be been watching my download and for few months never exceeded that 100GB in a month. Been ringing FUP team to verify when suddenly they told me that from (cant remember exactly) March FUP will apply only to accounts that are using Torrents and other P2P.
    you won't believe how happy I was hearing that.... So i've started to download and next month guess what.... 1Mbit connection.
    Really mad rang FUP team and asked them what on earth is going on. They confirmed that its only P2P and I've explained them that I only use Youtube, BBC iPlayer, Rapidshare, Steam and XBox Live, Beatport (just don't understand how ppl can use torrents and other P2P as they are just way to slow). So they were happy to take the cap off my broadband connection.
    Next month same issue solved exactly the same way.
    After that for consecutive few months I had no problem whatsoever until September where FUP Team said that there is no such thing and FUP applies to everyone.
    So just want to say that BT is rubbish that can't keep their word.
    I went to one of the sales advisor in the shopping centre and asked him how FUP works as it does not say in the contract "how, when, who and what".
    So he said that policy is applied based on amount of files downloaded within that 100GB. So if I download e.g. 3x 50GB (although its 150GB altogether) files I wont be affected but 100x 1GB will put a cap on me.
    I've been so curious if what he said was right and started to download 2x 60GB and guess what... Got frigging FUP placed on my account!!!.
    I've got 2months left with them and will be extremely happy to cancel my contract, moreover, I will do everything in my power to sue them under EU Consumer Rights Law (that states that contract should be clear and fair to both sides) as Fair Usage Policy is one of those things that allows BT to do anything they want to their customers;
    1. No clear explanation of what FUP is.
    2. Does not states the amount of downloaded data required to have cap on the acount
    3. Does not states for how long it will be applied
    4. Does not states when it will be applied
    If you look at e.g. Virgin Broadband everything is clearly written in nice and understandable way. It warns you at what times FUP will be applied under what circumstances and for how long. Isn't it what we all want to know??

    @Mateusz I think I maybe a victim of this outragous stint BT have done. I have 2 XBOX 360's running on XBOX Live, 2 Desktop PCs connected to the web constantly, and 3 laptops, we have a torrent sharing running and World Of Warcraft on one of the PCs. All of this is shared across a 6 person family. How can a family where two members goto to college and university do their college ork, download application such as VB.net do their coursework and revise without the hassle of a **** connection. Seriously BT get your ******* head outta your **** and stop this ********, we are customers, we pay for what we are offered. When I signed up several years ago I could download everything on the net woithout infracions on my line being set in motion. You altered my contract without telling me. You will lose custom from this. Also you have ****** my wireless

    You lot are lucky, We wish we could be capped to 1mbit. Our IP profile is capped to 500kbit because BT say the line isn't good enough for anything more. We are paying for option3 up to 8mbit and BT have said we must continue to pay for it for the remainder of the contract, or buy ourselves out of it early, the reason they give.... Up to 8mbit means up to 8mbit. If you dont get 8mbit then TOUGH LUCK SUCKERS!!
    The outcome? We feel like we've been turned over by a dodgey second hand car salesman called BT. The internet deal he flogged us was a dog, a ringer, it wasn't cosher and certainly had a false MOT certificate.

    Hi Amanda,
    Why have you joined BT Option 3 when you can not get what BT can offer?
    No pun intended but you are a bit of a sucker for paying high prices where other suppliers are cheaper and can provide what your line can support.

    we moved house last october to this one, the connection was rubbish from the get-go, BT said the router was broken and we needed a new one, we said OK. That "OK" meant that we had entered into a new contract for option 3 same as out old one. The router wasn't broken, the new one didnt fix or improve the problem, we have since asked for a price reduction or compensation and been told "no". we are in contract and can pay to buy ourselves out of it if we like but otherwise we have to pay for option 3 and recieve fixed rate 500kb.

    Hi Amanda,
    I think you'll find that the Hold To Term rules have changed. BT are now unable to charge you for the account if you no longer require it. It is against OFCOM's rulings for a company to make more money out of you as a leaving customer than an existing one. However, You will need to pay for the connection charge (if that has not expired it's original differed contract) which is £40. A cancellation fee of £25 if you are simply cancelling and not migrating using a MAC key and for any hardware. The Routers are advertised at £88 and i would suggest that if they believed on to be faulty then that would be replaced under guarantee and not be put on a differed basis. I would check exactly what they say the are charging you and query this through OFCOM. http://www.ofcom.org.uk/

    Months of impecable service form BT as an option 3 customer. (I've even recommended BT to people)
    but
    For the past 2 weeks peak traffic has murdered my connection.
    I can get 14mbit off peak, and it used to drop to about 7-9 at peak times.
    Now its down to 1-2mbit at peak times. (no i haven't breached FUP as I check my btinternet inbox for the 80GB warning)
    I think its resonable to experience drop off but 90%!!!
    BT advertising says fast speeds at peak times. less than 2mbit is not fast. (that the governments minimum standard!!!)
    I don't know how to procede because when I'm experiencing these issues if I ring up I will end up waiting so long to speak to someone (because its peak time) the concection wiill be better again.
    I can think of no recourse other than to approach trading standards...
    Guarnetee me 5mbit at peak times (enough to stream HD iplayer) and I'd be happy
    That is what BT vision customers are in essence are getting + what ever their PC is using.
    Fair usage? what about Fair Supply.
