It worked and now it won't

I got sims 3 and I brought it home. Before this I check on a website to see if I could play it on my computer. It said I could. I come home and I load it. Everything seemed to go fine... when i started it the blue screen of death popped up and my computer restarted. I tried it again and the blue screen of death popped up again. The third time a screen came up to unblock something and I tried again and it let me play it this time. When I brought the auto play the screen was all coded but I could see the play button. I was able to play it and then i quit and played it a few other times. The next morning when I tried to play it any time I tried the blue screen of death popped up. I ran a bunch of updates my computer needed and it still won't let me play! What should i do?

What are the specs for your computer?
Operating System? memory? CPU? Video Card?
A model number would also be helpful.

    Hi Arezzo
    I'm asuming you are using iTunes then to sync? this can be done over WiFi or the USB cable.
    Review your setting for the calendar sync once iTunes is open and your iPhone is connected. Make sure your Calendars are selected to sync that you need. By default all calendars will.
    So the option i have for you is to reset the sync service and this will reset those settings in iTunes. Meaning that you will have to switch them on again in iTunes to sync. But this mostly clears unresolved sync issues.
    Please do yourself a favour and hit backup in iTunes before doing any testing. iTunes will then keep a local backup of your iPhone in case of any data loss.
    {added}
    open Terminal from your Utilities folder and paste this command in to reset. OS X 10.6 - 10.8
    /System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl full [press Enter]
    if it prompts for a password, just type your password and hit [Enter] again.
    Open iTunes then set your syncs up and it should then carry on again.

  • I updated the software on my ipad2 at work and now it won't connect via wifi

    The 3G works fine and the device connects to the router ok but there is no Internet access

    There is no way to revert to the old software. I doubt that your problem has anything to do with iOS level 4.3.5 per se. It might be an artifact of the update process itself.
    Try the following:
    Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address via DHCP and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect.
    Does your iPad connect to other networks?
    If the problem persists do a restore to original on your iPad and recover to the backup.

  • HT1766 My computer froze during the restoration process. It didn't work and now it won't let me restore and the passcode still shows up. What do I do?

    I forgot my iPod passcode. I've done the "back up ipod" and restore.
    My computer froze in the last 13 seconds and shut off and turned back on.
    I tried redoing the whole process, but it won't let me do it.
    The passcode is still there and I don't know what to do.

    If screen-lock passcode
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • My iphone 4 lock button stopped working and now it won't charge

    Hi.
    A couple of weeks ago my iphone 4's lock button randomly stopped working, I had never dropped my iphone so I couldn't figure out why this had occurred. I did not see this as a big problem until recently when my iphone stopped charging. The iPhone had worked just as normal the day before it stopped charging. I usually charge my iphone over night, but one night it reached around 85% and stopped charging. I have tried it with several different iphone chargers and different plugs in the house but still the iPhone wouldn't charge. Now my iphone has ran out of battery and due to the fact that my lock button is broken, I can't try anything to turn it on. Does my battery need replacing?
    Thanks,
    Anna.

  • I can't access the sync. I couldn't get the blurry letters to work and now it won't let me go back and try again. It says my email is invalid.

    I couldn't get the blurry letters to take even though I entered them right. So I checked the help button. But, no one has responded. I tried to go back into the sync screen but it says my email address is invalid. How can I set up my mobile?

    Not sure if this helps:-
    The music files, were they bought from your iTunes account or did someone gift them to you after buying from the iTunes account? If they are yours you can download them again if you clear or de-authorise the ipod, it has to be done by whoever gave you the ipod to do this (the registered  owner). If they were bought for you on another itunes account I don't think Apple let you use them as they are copyrighted and they don't belong to you, they belong to the person who bought them. If the music files where ripped from music cd's then click and drag them to a new folder on your desktop and have the person who gave you the ipod to de-authorise and unregister it. Then you re register it and put your files back from your desktop folder in your iTunes folder and synch. Hopefully that would work.  Any files which you did not buy, I would not know how get around this, best bet is to take it to you nearest Apple  Store and explain that they were gifted to you and ask how you can use them.  The best way to gift music files is to buy the gift tokens and give these. Hope above helps.

  • First installation of CC Photoshop 2014 failed, then worked for awhile, and now it won't open due to a "program error". What should I do?

    What should I do to fix CC Photoshop 2014 installation failure? It failed to install the first time about a month ago, then it worked, and now it won't open due to a "program error".
    Thanks for any help with this.

  • I've just updated my iPhone to the new iPhone OS and now it won't work and iTunes won't recognise that it's there.  I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled twice and it's not working.  Please help.

    I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version.  I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again.  I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again.  My blue tooth doesn't work either.  I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this.  When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue.  My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!!  I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue.  Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it.  Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
    June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

  • Hi, so I pushed autofill because I thought that it would put music on my phone from a different iTunes library but it didn't work, and now the songs show up grey in my music on my phone and they won't play, but they are still there. What can I do?

    Go back to iTunes, select the Music tab, uncheck the 'sync music; button, then hit apply.

  • I've upgraded to OS 10.8.2 and my Bowers and Wilkins MM-1 Speakers were working fine until today, and now they won't play any sound at all, even though iTunes shows the audio is playing. I've tried both the headphone jack and the USB port. Please help!

    Michael,
    Thanks. I haven't mixed down the audio or checked the number of tracks in Prefs. Good points.
    As far as a mixdown goes, I'll definitely give it a try, though I wonder whether or not the tracks will be recognized during mix down recording - given that you can't hear either of those segments in playback. Just have to try.
    Re the preferred number of allowed tracks - I'll go check as soon as I send this off, but I'm not sure that applies in this case, since the two Channels containing the segments that are pinked out are not in additional tracks. I should have mentioned that other audio clips and segments on the same Channels in the SAME tracks ARE heard in playback. As are two additional track in the 2nd Sequence. It's only when the two sequences are joined that the pink tinted segments can't be heard. Within the sequence the same audio cuts playback as they should. Thanks again &
    Best regards,
    David

  • So my i just dropped my iPad and now it won't start up. It just keeps turning on and off. Like the apple symbol shows up and then goes away? What happened and is there a way to fix it. I tried restoring and that didn't work

    I pretty much stated it in my question. I dropped my iPad and now it won't boot itself up. The apple symbol shows up, then the screen turns all black and weird looking with a strange green color at the bottom, and just turns off. It keeps doing this over and over. What happened and is there a way to fix it? I also tried connecting it to itunes and that doesn't seem to be working. It detects an ipad but can't seem to read anything else. It tells me to try and restore it but I can't. HELP!!!

    Try this. It worked for a few users after a drop.
    Turn the iPad over and give it a very HARD slap on the back. May take several slaps.

    Yes, connect to your computer with the latest version of iTunes installed and restore it. If it doesn't show up in iTunes when you connect it see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

    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.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
