I can't play any games on windows with bootcamp
I have a 15 inch retina macbook pro that I got a few months ago. I am running windows 7 on it with bootcamp. I have several games downloaded on it that I payed for and they won't work. A message always pops up saying something along the lines of either "DirectX encountered an unrecoverable error" or "Failed to initialize display adapter. Please ensure your video card is compatible and the drivers for it installed. Usually this is a result of missing vendor specific drivers." Anyone know how to fix it? I already chatted with apple support and they were little help. They said to go to the mac side and change the automatic graphics switching setting to off. I tried that and it did not help. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Yes. When I first installed windows 7 I did and I also just downloaded the file called bootcamp 5.0.5033 and tried to run the setup in the NVidia folder but it failed.
This why your Windows installation is not working. You must download and install the correct support file version which contains the drivers. Start Boot Camp Assistant and select only the Support software option. Download this software to a usb device according to the instructions. Then from within Windows install the support software according to the instructions.

Since up dating my Firefox I can not play any games on Facebook they all run very slow, can someone please help me with a solution.It mainly seems to be with games.
RE: "P.S. I found it aggravating that I couldn't copy and paste text here, it wanted me to insert as a link or an image, how do you insert plain text?"
I take it you tried using the "right click" menu? That doesn't seem to work, as you noted, but, you should be able to paste text by pressing your CTRL key and while holding it down, press the "V" letter key.
CTRL + C = COPY
CTRL + X = CUT
CTRL + V = PASTE

Thank you.OK. I am having a little bit of trouble understanding your responses, but let's start with this since you are having an issue with other apps as well.
Reboot your iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up completely and then try again. -

I need help trying to see if it is possible to download iOS 4.3 for my iPod touch . Can't play any games they all need 4.3 or higher
To update
The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows. Note nly the 3G and later can go to iOS 4.3 or later

A 1G iPod can go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and iOS 3.1.3 via
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/touchLegacyLandingPage
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
A 3G to 5.1.1 Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
A 4G to 6 Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

I am so frustrated about Adobe Flash player. I can not play any Facebook games, open certain files and pictures and documents that I need to access because not only does this phone not do it but my old Palm Pre couldn't do it either. I have had so many times where I needed to access things either online or via email, or message that I can not even look at because of this. I have to wait until I for home or ask someone else to do it for me which is embarrassing. I rave about my iPhone 4S all the time because it is truly great except for this. When it use to happen with my Pal Pre I figures once I got my iPhone that it wouldn't happen anymore but I guess I was completely wrong. I have had this problem for years and always get a message saying that it's being worked on. Well a couple of years is a long time to work on it. I understand about contracts and stuff but why is it taking a company such as Apple to be able to get it for their products? I get a lot and always want to play the games on Facebook but I can't do it on most of them at least the ones I have tried. So I can not play against anyone at that time I have to wait until I get home or use someone else's computer or something. Please tell me that in the extremely near future that this will not be a problem anymore. PLEASE!! I am sure I am not the only one out there who is having issues and if you do get it available please let there be an upload/upgrade for current phones and not just for future versions of Apple phones. That just wouldnt be very fair to all of your loyal customers and tell everyone to get your products because they are great and end up leaving this little problem out until they by your phone. Especially if they just got the phone they have. You guys are awesome with technology I have faith that you can make this available to all Apple products old and new by uploads or upgrades. Thank you hopefully can give me some info about the status with this or if there wen is one. I would have thought that being a company such as you are that it would already be taking care of right from the beginning and not wait years to take care of somewhat that is very important ro have especially when there is so much our there using Adobe Flash now. I am not sure if this is just a blog with customers or if the company actually sees these posts but I am just hoping company or not that someone knows something about this. Thank you for your time and for reading this entire post if you have even gotten this far.

HT4314 Game center will not recognize that I play any game center games.
Game center will not recognize that I play any game center games. Also, my friends can interact with my game saves, but I cannot, because they do not appear in the "friends/neighbors" window when I play. What can I do to fix this?
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

My system hanged especially when I play any games
Motherboard: MSI P45 Platinum (MS-7512) (2 PCI, 2 PCI-E x1, 2 PCI-E x16, 4 DDR2 DIMM, Audio, Gigabit LAN, IEEE-1394).

RAM: OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 8GB Platinum Quad Kit.
H.D: I have four hard disk from WDC Green 3*1 Tera SATA and one 500 GB SATA Green for the system.
GPU: MSI Radeon HD 4870X2, R4870X2-T2D2G-OC.
Display: View Sonic VX2255wm-2 [22" LCD] (QK9074330194).

Keyboard: Logitech diNovo Edge.
Mouse: Logitech MX Revolution.
Modem: Creative.

My problem is when I play any game it is hanged after few minutes. Some time it takes 1-2 hours and other time it takes only 5-10 minutes. I want to play without any crashing with my games. In addition, I want to know the right configurations for my motherboard BIOS to make the system stable with gaming and virtual software like Virtual PC, Virtual Server, VM Ware and Virtual Box.
I am writing this problem because I think I will burn my motherboard and the GPU if it does not work after your solutions.
I hope you help me ASAP.

Dear Mr. NovJoe,
Thank you for your replay.
Around 4.5 Hours, I left my PC do the test and I go to finish some business outside my home.
Is it true that the cards that have nVidia chipset only work with games certified from nVidia? And is it true that the cards that have ATi chipset only work with games certified from ATi?
And I'm sorry to ask these questions - I know that are silly questions, but when I took my PC to the maintenance they told that I only can play with any game that ATi certified.
Again thank you for your effort.
No, that's not true. Games can be run by any ATI or nVidia cards. Don't be taken by those silly remarks.

I did the first part by replace my GPU with another on my system and it worked smoothly, but I did not test my GPU on another system because I didn't found anyone can handle my GPU card. So, I took my system and my GPU card to the maintenance to fix my problem.
I think the GPU is problematic, test it in another system to double confirm. If the GPU is confirmed to be faulty, RMA the GPU for a replacement. Let us know when the replacement is back . -
Can't play any music or videos after 7.4.3.1 upgrade
Any body seen this type of problem after the update??
After upgrading to iTunes 7.4.3.1 I can't play any music on my PC. iTunes allows me to select the tune piece from the library, loads the player and just sits there not advancing the song.
If I try to play am MP3 through Windows Media Player same thing happens. I also can't play any of the video files I have on dick either. They play a few seconds worth, pause, then play a pit more and it repeats.
Thanks
Jay+If I try to play am MP3 through Windows Media Player same thing happens.+
If two of your media players are doing that, we'd better have a look in your control panels.
Open your "Sounds and Audio Devices" control panel. Click the "Audio" tab.
Is the correct default device showing up in the "Sound Playback" area? -
