How to see battery status while playing a game

Some games seem to close off menu bars and everything else.
My daughter plays the sims 3 and sometimes uses battery power, but she always panics that the mac will just shut down due to lack of battery power.
How does she see what the power is at while playing the game?
Its normally just in the menu bar, but like i say this game overrides all that info until the game has been quit.
Thanks.

Anybody?

  • How can I see the bitrate while playing a DVD?

    (I posted that also on the DVD Studio Pro page, but there I got an advice that points to a professional and expensive tool - Digigami's 'Mpressionist'. Maybe here someone can help me with a simpler sollution. I will post on both sides potential sollutions.)
    So, I have a DVD encoded with variable bitrate, and I want to see the bitrate while playing the movie. In QuickTime I can see only the "global" bitrate, not the one of the actual scene.
    Thanks.

    For the moment I got only that:
    - MPressionist, a very nice tool, but very expensive too;
    - MacDVDBitrateParanoia that displays the bitrate of the whole DVD as a graph, but not while the DVD plays, so I can not see the relation between complexity of a scene and the bitrate.

  • How to see the object while moving on the artboard?

    hello everyone;
    maybe a silly question; how to see the object while moving on the artboard? i dont wanna see only the objects bounding box(outline of the object). i wanna see the object it self. thank you.

    What have they gone and messed up now?
    When I drag an object (with bounding boxes turned on), the object moves and the bounding box stays still until I stop dragging, upon which it snaps to the object’s new position.
    If I don’t have bounding boxes turned on (as I usually work), the object moves when dragged.
    If what Bedri says is right, they’ve gone and mended something that wasn’t busted.

  • How do I get rid of the ad while playing a game?

    How do I get rid of the ad while playing a game on my iPhone?

    duh .... I got to thinking about it while I was feeding my 'girls', (dog and 2 cats) and thought "I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that it's free!"  I guess they have to make their money somehow. Thanks for you quick reply -- I'll try to think things thru a little better before marshalling the troops! 
    Thanks again,

  • HT1399 I was able to see the lyrics while playing the audio when my iOS was 6.1.4 now i do not know what to do to see the lyrics while playing the audio or a karaoke

    I was able to see the lyrics while playing the audio when my iOS was 6.1.4
    now i do not know what to do to see the lyrics while playing the audio or a karaoke after upgraded(?) to iOS 7
    Is there any chance to see the lyrics in iOS 7 or i want to degrade it to 6.1.4?

    Thank you for responding. I'm not sure if my complete original message came through. It was just today that an automatic update notice came through, and I installed the update that was offered. So I have to guess that version — 10.1.10 — is the latest version that's available to me. My OS is 10.6.8. Again (in case the complete message isn't appearing), I'm on an older Mac, specifically MacBook 2.1. Perhaps this is the problem, and I never should have updated a few years ago. If so, I wonder if there's any way I can go back to that earlier version that worked well for me, rather than the last few versions, which have not.

  • How to see system status in spro. How to assign business transaction to user status.

    Hi All,
    How to see system status in spro. can we change system status in spro for maintenance order.kindly share.
    Also share how can we assign business transaction to user status for maintenance order

    Peter,
    You cannot see the system-status in SPRO.
    You can view the system-statuses via BS23.
    Be warned - it is NOT advisable to change the system-status setting as you may screw-up your system. Remember that many statuses are used across multiple objects and multiple modules.

  • While playing a game my iphone went completely frozen, it does not respond to any input, not even to holding down the on/off hey. Any ideas?

    While playing a game my iphone went completely frozen, it does not respond to any input, not even to holding down the on/off hey. Any ideas?

    Try a reset. That is holding the sleep/wake and home button together until you see the Apple logo and release. That will reset the iPhone, but will not affect your data.
    Thanks! It worked just fine!

  • IMac enters sleep mode while playing Blizzard games

    About every 20 seconds my iMac enters sleep mode while playing Blizzrard games.  When I click the mouse or touch a key on the keyboard the iMac wakes up and the game is still running.  This has been happening more frequently over the past six weeks.  Now it occurs every twenty seconds.  I have turned off my sleep mode settings, reset the SMC, loaded the TechTool Deluxe and ran a diagnostic.  When TechTool Deluxe came to testing the video ram the utility crashed.  I ran TechTool Deluxe a second time and it crashed again while testing the video ram.  My iMac only has this problem playing Blizzard games.  I have contacted Blizzard and they don't have an answer.  Is it my video card? I have the NVIDIA GeForce GT 130 512 MB graphics card.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Likely is the Video card, but...

  • Flash Player having problems while playing online games on OS X Mavericks

    i use mbp mid 2010 with os x mavericks 10.9.2 and while playing online games, it usually happens some freezes and delays. when i play same game with same browser on windows 7(bootcamp) there is no freeze and delay. i have made lots of search about this and made some optimizations on flash player settings but the problem continues. i use both chrome and firefox on both mavericks and win7 (bootcamp) but having the same problems on mavericks every time. the game is very slow with freeze and delays on mavericks. will adobe make a real effective upgrade about flash player for macs.

    Hmmm... Win 7 will run faster than Mavericks with 8Gb. Even my Vm of 7 runs faster once I get it past all the startup processes.
    It may or may not be a connectivity problen since Windows uses a different protocol, even though it's on the same hardware. Usually though, what affects OS X will affect BootCamp too.
    What browser?

  • My iPad locked up while playing a game.  Now can't turn it off or do anything.

    Nt iPad locked up while playing a game.  Now I can't get it to shut down or do anything.  The buttons don't do anything.  Help!!

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
