Because in my macbook pro will not let me open The Sims 3?

because in my macbook pro will not let me open The Sims 3?
Whenever I try to open the application icon starts jumping and then disappears

Says it works with 10.7, problems with 10.8 though.
Reinstall the program and trash the Dock icon, then make a new one and see if that works.
Then Trash it's preference file and relaunch the program to create a new one
Deleting the System Preference or other .plist file
If not then run through this, could be a sign of something bigger

  • My macbook pro will not let me stay on a certain desktop.

    I created multiple desktops and was able to put my open application into different desktops. For example, I had Safari open on one desktop and powerpoint on the second. However, when I switched over from my first desktop to the second it switch back to the first automatically without me doing anything. It will not let me stay on the second desktop. Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

  • I have one website that will not let me open the emails within in it?

    I am on a dating website Christianmingle.com Up until 3 days ago this site worked fine? All other sites within my internet are working and opening fine. Just this site will not let me open the internet information and emails within this site?
    After a couple of attempts I can get into the site. This is one problem that I cannot open this site like it is suppose to. Then when try to open information within the site it fills the work bar to about 90% then it just keeps working and nothing opens?
    I have tried the cookies, pop-up blocker, called the site for help and called Xfinity? They can do nothing? Maybe you can help me it has to be something simple?
    Let me know
    Thanks

    - Try contacting iTunes for the password problem:
    Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us
    - For the other problem you can try a reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - The next standard thing to do is to download/install a new app but you cant 'do that.
    - Instead, try restoring from backup.

    When purchasing goods over the internet my MacBook Pro will not allow me to go beyond the payment page therefore I am unable to complete my purchase. If I use a Windows operated PC in the same household I do not have this problem.

    Your MBP will let you do everything. What you haven't told us is what browser, what prompt comes up when you select pay, and does this happen on every web site you buy stuff on.

  • HT4628 My macbook pro will not automatically reconnect to the wifi after a sleep. This has started after having upgraded to mountain Lion (10.8).

    Hi
    After I have installed Mountain Lion (10.8) - my macbook pro will not connect automatically to my preferred wifi network. It used to do that on the previous versions. It seems that the mac does not recognize the preferred network, as it asks me to choose a network after evey sleep/restart. I have modified the network preference to have my preferred netwrok at the top of the list. I have tried with/without checking the "ask me before joining a new network". It still behaved the same.
    Thanks

    Try making a new network connection and renewing the DCHP lease as detailed here:

  • My macbook pro will not turn on and the charger is not lighting up

    please help!! my macbook pro will not turn on at all, when i plug in the charger it will not light up at all, it suddenly shut down when i was using it.

    Is there any charge left in the battery?
    Press the button on the left side, near the front edge. If no green lights appear, battery is flat. And if the power brick ain't workin' (by virtue of its pilot light not glowing), then it will remain flat and the computer will not power up. If this is the case, maybe try with another power brick of similar size and see if it charges.
    Else the logic board is toast and pitbull's on the money.
    Either case, my gypsy crystal ball forsees a trip to an Apple Store or a Service Provider in your future...

    Add me to the list. I just bought mine & can't log onto the Apple Store to rent/purchase. I can on my MBP.
    I've had the same thing happen when I tried to enter my YouTube username & password. It wouldn't accept it. I thought it was a fluke w/YouTube. Apparently not so.
    So, I can't buy or rent movies/TV shows. Exactly why do I want this gadget?
    How about an update on the Apple site that just recognizes these problems & promise a fix?
