How do you exit a game from full screen mode when the game has crashed?

Hey there
There has seriously got to be a better way of exiting a crashed game than just turning the power off.
I sometimes play Sims 3 on my mac, and we all know that Sims 3 is the most poorly coded game out there, so it crashes a lot. I don't understand how you can get out of the full screen without switching the machine off the wrong way.
I have tried every single keyboard command people say to exit full screen mode, but they don't work when the game has crashed! In fact pressed every single button on the keyboard to try and exit, but nothing works.
On Windows it's so simple, you press the start button on the keyboard, but on a mac it doesnt work.
So any help to what i can do?
Thanks

Force quit just the game itself.
Command + option + esc
It's like control + alt + delete on Windows.

  • How to stay in full screen mode when the movie is end

    for some commercial reason, I need quicktime to stay in full screen mode when a movie playing is end.How can I config it? Thanks a lot.

    You can place what i called a sprite in the video.
    http://homepage.mac.com/qt4web/sprites/items.html
    Scroll down the web page a little bit and you'll find it. You place the stop sprite a few seconds before the end of the video.
    Right click on or control+click on stopsprite.mov in the above web page to open the sprite in the Quicktime player.
    Click on the sprite movie, 'select all' from the menu. Click on the video you want to stop. Go to about 5 second (more would better) before the end of the video. Hit the key i on the keyboard. Go to the end of the video and hit the key o (Oh). Go back up to Quicktime's menu--->Edit--->Add To Selection & Scale--->Save As and rename the video. Done....
    If for some reason the video doesn't stop add more time....10 seconds before the end of the video.

  • Flex GUIs get a bad performance in normal screen mode when switched from full screen mode

    Hi, there :
    I encountered an odd situation and it is only happens on IE. Our project is a Flash 3D Game using Stage3D, and the Game's GUIs are created by CS6. When our game switch from the full screen( StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE or StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN ) to normal screen ( StageDisplayState.NORMAL ), the performance of the Game GUIs decline to approximate a half FPS of full screen mode. But this condition is only happens on IE.
    The Game is normal screen when it is initialized and the performance is as same as fullscreen. The performance degradation only happens after switching to normal screen mode from full screen mode.
    p.s. : When the mouse is out of the view, the performance become better, from 20 fps up to 50 fps. But is still not as same as the original 60 fps.
    p.s. 2 : My colleague told me the Flash Pro CS6 be used to built a single swc file per GUI, and then package all ui swc files to one swc file by Flex Framework SDK( the command is "compc" ). and the IE version = 9.0.8112.16421, the Flash Player Version = 11.6.602.155.
    p.s. 3 : I have utilized Adobe Profiler Scout to observe the application, and I found that when it switches to normal screen mode from full screen mode, the time 「Waiting for GPU」 in 「Inactive」 grows up from 10ms to approximate 30ms which is triple. And in the 「Activity Sequence 」tab, it shows that the 「Waiting for GPU」 happens in the 「Copying to screen 」in 「DisplayObject List」.
    Thanks

    This does sound like a specific bug with IE. It would be great if you could file a bug report here (https://bugbase.adobe.com/), so we can get somebody to look into it.
    btw, Flex is really not a good framework for games - it's really slow and heavyweight. If you're just wanting some lightweight UI elements, you might want to check out the Feathers framework, which is built on top of Starling: http://feathersui.com/

  • How do i get an itunes library from a phone when the computer has crashed and it needs to go on a new computer

    How do i get an itunes library from a phone when the computer has crashed and it needs to go on a new computer

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • How do I play a video in full-screen mode on one screen of a dual-screen Windows 7 system without blanking out the other screen?

    How do I play a video in full-screen mode on one screen of a dual-screen Windows 7 system without blanking out the other screen?  Not losing the other screen would be useful as I would like to, for example, monitor my emails whilst watching a video or to work on a project whilst watching an instructional video.
    Note : Resizing a window to fill the screen is not acceptable as it still leaves unsightly borders.

  • IPhoto 6 Unable to Zoom in Full Screen Mode when using projector

    When in full screen mode in iPhoto 6 I am able to zoom quite nicely but when I attach a projector I lose the slide for zooming. How do I zoom in full screen mode when using a projector?
    Mac Book   Mac OS X (10.4.9)

    Given that the zoom works normally, this is not an iPhoto issue. The problem lies in the interaction between your MacBook and the Projector. You might have more luck posting on the MacBook forum

  • Why is one of my dual screen grayed out when in full screen mode on the other?

    I just added a second monitor for an extended desktop. When I go into full screen mode on one the other greys out. Is there a way to fix this or am i stuck? thanks!!!

    No that is just the way it is. Apple still can't figure out how to do full screen apps. When you put any app into full screen mode it make a second desktop to run that app on. When that happen the second monitor, in a dual monitor setup, has nothing to do as everything is on the main monitor in different desktops.
    You'll have to just expand the app to the max window size instead of going into full screen. Then you can drag/place different apps on each monitor.

  • Today, when using the full screen mode, when I switch out of it, its automatically returning to full screen mode one second later.  And ideas?

    Lightroom is acting up today.   If I enter the fullscreen mode to view images, when I try to exit out of it back to the library or develop mode, after one second its returning back to the full screen mode.  The only way to exit is to command Q.  Any ideas?

    Found this on another thread.  Havent tried it yet, but am about to.

    This doesn’t make sense to me. You cannot tell a rule

    mailbox. Each smart mailbox has its own set of
    conditions that messages must satisfy in order for

    OK. I misstated this. I have a number of Smart Mailboxes with their specific rules in which to route certain topics to specify mailboxes. I am trying to not have to create each Smart Mailbox on each computer.
    The problem is that when I am on the road I add contacts, bookmarks, keychain items, contacts into my laptop and vice versa when home. I would just like to have those Sync on both computers. Seems like it should be easy, but it hasn't been.
    I really don't think I have anything "non-standard." A few Smart Mailboxes, a couple of signatures, thats pretty much it.

    The Mac has never needed "Full Screen". It has done multiple screen Extended Desktop since 1987.
    Full screen is an iPhone feature, carried into this verion with the mult-touch gestures and other so-called "unifying" features.
