Can't figure it out! How to open a fullscreen game in a separate window.

I have a game I like to play (Fairy Tower Pinball by LittleWing) but due to some glitch it will only play in fullscreen mode. In its options panel there are 3 different settings (desktop, standard and wide screen) but none of them seem to change the game from full screen mode. I have tried all the keyboard shortcuts (command-h, command-m, command-shift-return, command-tab, escape etc.). I also have a mighty mouse, programmed in Expose with certain buttons for "All Windows" and "Show Desktop," but these do not work either. The hot corners are also of no use. The mouse pointer is not visible.
There must be a way to open this game in a separate window, one that I can minimize, resize and move around. Shouldn't there be an easy thing I can cut and paste into the game's programming using Terminal so that it will simply open in a window instead of go directly to full screen? Please help. I need to be able to do other things without having to quit the game every time.

i can't access the menu bar when the game is in full screen so fast user switching is out. the hotkey for spaces won't work either, just like the Expose buttons on my mouse. i still don't believe the game can lock me out of my computer like this.

  • HT201304 I just can't figure this out . how can I do a restriction on my ipad help me please

    And I cannot get rid of games the once that being downloaded help please

    You can set restrictions via Settings > General > Restrictions e.g. hide Safari, iTunes, music or films/TV programmes via their age rating. If you are having problem doing that then what exactly are you trying to do and what happens when you try to do it ?
    To delete an app, press and hold any of the apps on your iPad's homescreen and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the apps shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded (you can't delete built-in apps) then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'

  • I did an updated yesterday to the new IOS 7.0.4 on my 4s. Now my facebook app is really small when I open it. I tried to re install it a few times I also checked for updates to the app. Can't figure it out.

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

    I have downloaded an app to use on my laptop and now I can't figure out how to open it and use it.  It shows it in the download area..........any suggestions would be great.

  • I lost my iphone and cannot figure out how to open the "find my iphone app after I downloaded it in itunes

    I lost my iphone and cannot figure out how to open the app "find my iphone" in itunes after I have downloaded it. Can anybody help?

    Or did you mean you had downloaded it to your iPhone, and you were looking for the app in iTunes to activate it? If so, that is not where you would do it. You need to sign on to your iCloud account on your computer - that's where it is housed....
    Sorry if I misunderstood!

  • Pages will no longer let me open files that I have previously downloaded, worked on and then saved on my mac. However it will let me open pages documents that I have started from new. I need the other documents to open and can't figure it out. PLEASE

    I just got my mac a month ago so go easy on me but I was just working with the pages that was already on it, and then today I know it updated, and now I am unable to open a lot of my documents!:(  Idk what you mean by the icloud version lol sorry! As for the version, when I open pages from my apps and click 'about' it says version 5.1? And when I open the document it just goes grey and kind of blinks and doesnt open? No error message or any indication of why it will not open now when I for sure have opened it in the past! Andddd for the OS X I think it is 10.9.1 ??

  • I purchased the Brookstone DLP projector for the iPhone, and all the reviews state the iPhone 4S can be mirrored with it. However, I can't not figure out how to do so. Is there a setting to change? Can't figure it out! ARGGG!

    It will show pictures and videos if I choose, Start Slideshow, but it won't show anything else, no apps, etc.
    Here's a few examples of the reviews which state it mirrors:

    I bought this for video analysis presentations with an app on the phone, so this is a key feature for me.
    Any help is appreciated.

    I also have not figured out how to mirrow either.  I ask you both, is the sound via the projector louder than the phone itself when projector is tuerned off?  No matter what I do the max vilume through the projector speakers is lower that the phone itself even with phone remaining installed in projector.  I am think of taking it back to try another one.

  • I have a 3GS. Am trying to sync a plantronics explorer 232 Bluetooth headset and can't figure it out. I have Bluetooth turned on but it searches for devices and the headset never shows up. Anyone know exactly how to do this?  My tech skills are lacking

    I have a 3GS. Am trying to sync a plantronics explorer 232 Bluetooth headset and can't figure it out. I have Bluetooth turned on but it searches for devices and the headset never shows up. Anyone know exactly how to do this?  My tech skills are lacking

    I have the same blueparrott headset headset with the directions. Actually reading them just fixed my iphone pairing issue.
    Here they are in case u still need them along with what I needed to do to get mine to work with iphone 4
    Pair Headset with Phone
    Turn off headset off
    Hold down headset's MFB (large top button) until red & blue lights flash and you hear 2 rising tones, followed by 4 more tones. Must wait for all before you release the MFB button!! (I had my hubby hold the MFB while I waited for the tones since both come from the headset
    Release the MFB and follow your phone's instructions to place it in 'bluetooth' discoverable mode.  With the iphone4, go to "General" and then "Bluetooth" and turn indicator to "ON".
    This is where my issue occurred as the phone could not find the bluetooth, although it worked with my LG phone.  So after trying it several times thinking I was nuts and that the issue was with the iphone, I looked further in the blueparrot's directions and found this step that fixed the issue.
    Reset Paired Devices List
    On the bluetooth, press and hold down both the volume up & volume down buttons for 5-6 seconds.  A double beep will be heard and the list will be reset.  Pairing info for devices previously paired will be lost.
    The bluetooth directions provide this as step 4 but that did not work for my phone (see below)
    4. Once the phone discovers the headset, select "pair" and enter "0000" code and that when pairing is complete the blue light on the headset will stop flashing and phone will prompt you to 'connect'.
    This is what I had to do after resetting the device list on my bluetooth
    4. My iphone instanting discovered the headset and displayed it under 'Devices" but showed a message that it was 'not connected'.  Once I selected the device on the iphone by pressing on it then it changed to "connected". 
    Even when I turn the bluetooth on and off the device remains on the list and alll I do is select it to connect and disconnect after I turn on my blueparrott bluetooth
    I hope this helps others!   

  • How can I figure this out?

    Very simple function, but as a beginner, it's still difficult for me.
    my mouse wants to detect boxes on the canvas and return the center coordinate of these boxes, how can i figure this out? The game will be, if point(x,y) is inside a box , return box Center

    I just noticed that you are placing them on Canvas and it is not a container object. One solution would be to keep track of boundaries of those clickable areas and whenever a click occurs, a check which box was clicked, if any. I hope this helped.

  • Some emails are coming in on my iPhone, but all of them are on my MacBook.  Can't figure it out.

    some emails are coming in on my iPhone, but all of them are on my MacBook.  Can't figure it out.
    any idea why this might be happening?
    Thanks!

    Yes, you do need iPhoto, or at least for the following: Plug it into the computer with the USB plug you get with it, and iTunes will automatically open. It doesn't matter if you keep it open or not, because you'll import them to iPhoto. When you open iPhoto, it will automatically go to your iPhone's inventory of photos. Choose a photo that you wish to import (or click import all), type in the titile, and click import. A pop-up message will come up that asks if yu want to keep originals. Click yes, and viola. Your photos are on your computer! Hope this helps.

    I'm trying to put one of my dreamweaver projects on the creative cloud so that i can work on it at home and at the office. can't figure it out!Adobe Creative Cloud

    If you're a Windows user, you should have a Creative Cloud folder listed under your name in Windows Explorer. The image below shows where the folder is when I view Explorer.
    if you don't see this, open up the Creative Cloud application manager, click on the Assets tab, and then the Open Folder button. This will open the folder where you can place files to be synced across your Creative Cloud account on each computer that's actively logged in.
