After downlaoding sims 3 my screen won't fill completely anymore, like there are two black areas on each side of my screen

Before I did have the game and my screen was fine and there were no problems and now there are. Plus whenever I close my computer with the game on it makes a loud screeching noise.

nevermind, I resolved this issue. If any of you have this problem like this though just go to settings then displays and hit best for resolution

    Go to System Preferences>Displays and set the resolution to "Best for this computer" (or something to that effect).

  • Black margins down each side of my screen, so reduced screen size, can anyone help please?

    I have 2 black margins down each side of the viewable sceen, I've tried going in to 'full screen mode' but all tha happens is that I lose my footers and headers, the screen view still remains long and narrow rather that filling the screen top to bottom and sise to side. Can anyone help please?

    I think the reason your screen looks like this is because the screen was somehow scaled differently in System Preferences. To fix this open up the System Preferences app and click on "Displays". Next click on "Scaled" and make sure it says "1280 x 800" or the top one in the list so it should look like this:
    Then that's it.
    If this doesn't work try restarting your MacBook Pro or resetting the SMC or PRAM.
    Hope this helps,

  • HT5642 After turning off the notification switches of some apps in notificaton center, there are still notifications. I'm confused. Why?

    After turning off the notification switches of some apps in notificaton center, there are still notifications. I'm confused. Why?

    Just guessing, but I would think, as I look at mine, that it might have to do with when the apps were added to the device. To be honest, identifying this as a bug might not be correct. You are the first person I have seen post something like this, so it must not bother others. You can leave feedback for Apple on the feedback page.

  • (1) I want to alphabetize faces. (2) Can't change spelling in Faces. After I correct it, it jumps back to the incorrect spelling. There are names in the list that aren't assigned. Can they be deleted??

    (1) I want to alphabetize faces. (2) Can't change spelling in Faces. After I correct it, it jumps back to the incorrect spelling. There are names in the list that aren't assigned. Can they be deleted??
    I type Sandi Patty.  It changes it to Sandi patty.  (Little "p")  There are some pics in there correctly capitalized and some that aren't.  So, I deleted all the faces with incorrect spelling hoping to clear the system of that name completely.  Didn't work.  As you type Sandi, all the choices, including the one with error in capitalization show up.  I type it CORRECTY -- Sandi Patty -- I click on another face and the Sandi Patty becomes Sandy patty.  (Little P)     There are other names in the list that were the result of bad spelling.  Can these NOT be deleted??

    Not at this time, I spent an hour on the phone with Apple support today on this topic and they could not locate the files necessary to delete names from the list.  Bummer

  • I've used up several gift cards playing games on my iPad. Now I want to put back in my main credit card that I use playing games and it won't take it. Says there are too many cards associated with this apple ID.  I have no idea what to do now -- anybody?

    You can not merge accounts.
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

  • My MacBook pro continues to be very slow after downloading Yosemite. It keeps referring to MacBook Pro (2). It's like there are two version running side by side. Any ideas?

    My MacBook pro continues to be very slow after downloading Yosemite. It keeps referring to MacBook Pro (2). It's like there are two version running side by side. Any ideas?
    It is now running Yosemite 10.10.1. I seem to have plenty of memory but the machine still runs slower than before installing Yosemite. Excel has a very noticeable lag when opening and loading files.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply. I ran through the various steps as suggested including resetting the SMC.
    I would say that there was about a 10% improvement. Although one of the icons still bounced for the count of 40
    I'm still wondering why from the About this Mac, then System Report. it refers to my name MacBook Pro (2).
    All the various problems seem to have started with the upgrade to Yosemite.

  • I imported about 300 RAW images yesterday and worked with them for about an hour. iPhoto locked up on me and I rebooted. After I did the event icon is now gray and it says there are no photos. I know the photos are there. Any idea how I can recover them?

    a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card --  I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos
    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

  • Have 1-inch black border on each side monitor - how do I get back to full screen?

    Have a one-inch black border each side of screen, can't move out to full screen horizontally?

    Check that you have selected the correct screen resolution for your Mac in System Preferences>Displays. Depending on OS it's either 'Best for built-in display' or the top one on the list of screen resolutions.

  • After resetting Firefox, LCD screen has lost some of its sharpness - like there are pixels missing - WHY?

    I have a PC running Windows 7 Ultimate. Lately when I am in Firefox (running most current version), if I try to open more than one tab, Firefox slows down and I get the message "Mozilla Firefox not responding"; within a few seconds whatever site I am trying to open in the new tab opens; Firefox just seems to be sluggish. I finally tried resetting Firefox. After I did the reset, I noticed that the images on my monitor (Acer LCD S200hl) seemed to be less clear, even the wallpaper. As I type this, there appear to be holes in the image on screen, as if pixels are missing. Some of the letters look as if they are not completely filled in. The only change is that I reset Firefox.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    In case it's an incompatibility between Firefox and your graphics card driver, try disabling Firefox's use of hardware acceleration. You might have done this once before, but of course, the Reset turns it back on.
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    This will take effect after you exit and restart Firefox. Any difference?

  • LED won't stop flashing, even when there are no new notifications

    The LED on my BlackBerry won't stop flashing, and I can't work out why. I have no new emails, messages, Facebook notifications, Twitter mentions, appointments/calendar events, and the LED didn't flash for new articles in the TIME magazine app any way. None of the other apps have anything to notify me of either.
    I updated the OS some time ago, so I can't see that being the cause for the problem, which means I can not work out why the LED is still flashing, unless my BlackBerry is broken.
    Has anybody else had this problem?
    Running OS v4.6.1.310 (Platform 4.2.0.127)
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi danphynes,
    Are you still experiencing this issue? If so, what color is the LED? Can you verify that the LED coverage indicator is disabled in Options -> Screen/Keyboard? Is the LED flashing red continually or does it stop for periods of time?

  • I accidentally installed MacKeeper/ Conduit several weeks ago in Mavericks. I was able to remove the malware with no troubles. After my upgrade to Yosemite it seems to have come back but there are no files to delete like last time. Help!

    Hi all,
    I just upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, which I think might be the culprit.
    I had installed MacKeeper (big oops!) several weeks ago but was able to get rid of it by deleting all conduit/zeobit files with no problems afterward. Now after upgrading to Yosemite it is back. I tried getting rid of it with the same tactics I used before to no avail.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

  • Firefox doesn't recognize FLASH after update, no matter what. Also says to update plugins but there are none to update listed?

    I have downloaded & re-downloaded FLASH, but after I updated my Firefox to 22.0 it no longer recognizes FLASH is installed on my computer. It also keep telling me "Some plugins required by this page have been blocked for your protection." When I check the plugins, the 3 listed are up to date, and the other 3 are marked "research" - which doesn't allow you to update them. I cannot discern that any of those are what is being blocked. When I click on Details, it brings me to a list of "Modules bloqués" and it's all listed in French...which would be great if spoke French or lived in France, but alas California is in the USA. My Java is updated, enabled & not blocked in any way. My Shockwave Flash is disabled & it will not give me the option to Enable it; I also cannot find a way to reinstall it or find a plugin to help me. !@#$%! So frustrating that this new "update" is useless. I hate 22.0.
    What do I do now?

    Your System Details List shows that some plugins are blocklisted and Flash is included:
    # plugin.blocklisted.flash: True
    # plugin.blocklisted.java: True
    # plugin.blocklisted.nppdf: True
    Which version of the Flash plugin do you have installed if you check that in Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > > Plugins?
    You will have to update Flash to make it work.
    You can find the latest Flash player versions for Firefox on this page.

  • My mini mac won't quit saving itunes and there are no icons to quit just the bar rotating saving itunes

    My mini mac is frozen saving itunes library for days  No icons to force quit--about to unplug!!  Hooked up to my tv for internet

    Hi Laura, looks like you don't have a choice other than powwring down, then...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
