Lion produces weird trackpad behavior in Angry Birds

I upgraded to Lion this week. I know there are all sorts of new trackpad features, but the probem is that it messes up a lot in Angry Birds. For example, the various finger-swipes have unpredictable results; instead of resetting the screen, it might activate launchpad. Or it might jump you back to the "play" splash screen. The pinch and expand gestures might randomly activate mission control instead of zooming the way it did in pre-Lion Angry birds. And quite often, I'm finding that the trackpad stops responding at all! No matter what gesture I use, the bird sits there in the slingshot, unmoved, unless I restart the app. It's weird.
I've adjusted the trackpad settings in Settings as much as possible to accommodate gameplay, but AB still responds unusually to gestures, without regard to either the specified setting or to its pre-Lion performance. It seems like Apple put way too many features into every slight gesture on a trackpad, so it's become LESS intuitive because gameplay gestures trigger spontaneous resets and screen modifications instead of, well, game interaction.

Works for me and thanks i just try to see because i didn't play in Lion and the level that i was stuck in i pass it in the first try so thank you it works for me.But is true playing that game you can't do much gestures same thing happening before lion,just open it play it and close it.

  • I can not control my cursor with the trackpad.  It moves randomly. It began after an Angry Birds update.  Anyone else have this problem?

    I have a late 2011 OS X Lion 10.7.4 that is only 6 months old.  For the first 4 months I had no problems, but then about 6 weeks ago I downloaded an Angry Birds update from the Apple App Store, and my problems began.  When playing Angry Birds the the new Angry Birds update for the first time the cursor began to jump around, moving on it's own as if someone else was controlling it.  After a few moments I became obvious I could not control the cursor with the trackpad. When I placed the tip of my finger gently in the center of the trackpad to try to hold the cursor still it becan switching from the game (desktop) to launchpad and mission control.  I then put the computer down so I was not even touching it, walked several feet away and the cursor still moved on it's own.
    I've done a lot of research over the last few weeks on related articles and realized this is a common problem with numerous different causes: PRAM settings,
    screen sharing, remote settings, having fingers accidently touch edges of trackpad, writst resting too close to trackpad, swollen battery, etc. and I don't think it's due to any of those issues.
    The problem came out of nowhere.  My computer stays at home, and is not used by anyone else.  At first it was just Angry Birds, but now it can happen at any time.  Sometimes hours or days go by when this does not happen, sometimes it happens so much I can't use the computer at all.  It can get so bad that I won't be able to click out of whatever I'm doing on my desktop, and I'll have to shut it down by holding the power button. 
    Has anyone else had this issue after updating Angry Birds?

    try a new/fresh apple brand cable and make sure it is the only usb cable in use. this worked for me, i noticed i had no problem with a lighting cable. i did a restore from scratch and from backup and it did not help me...and if you cant sync than you wont be able to get anything but apps back after the restore

  • Angry birds on Mac OS Lion

    I have OS Lion and Angry Birds on my MacBook Pro.  Everything is up to date.  But everything I open Angry Birds it pops up a window that says "The Application quit"  Then it asked restore windows or not to restore windows.  Either option I choose does nothing.
    It was fine when it was on Snow Leopard but just a few days after upgrading to Lion it messed up.  I'm really not sure what to do.

    As with a problem with any other 3rd party app, you need to contact the app developer for the app. The developer for Angry Birds should have a website that may include troubleshooting steps for common problems with the app, and/or a way to contact the developer regarding a particular problem you are having.

  • Angry Birds Rio unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows?

    "Angry Birds Rio unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows - Restore Buton - Don't Restore Button" is the MAC popup error that quickly disapers and is replaced by the second popup, "Angry Birds Rio quit unexpectedly - Ignore - Report - Reopen."
    Installed v. 1.2.2 in August when notified by the app store. Played only once after update but now receive "Quit Unexpectedly" error.
    Tried:
    Reboot
    Trash AngryBirdsRio.app and restore old version from Time Machine
    Trash AngryBirdsRio.app and re-insall (v.1.2.2) from App Store
    De-selected built-in 288MB Intel Graphics in favor of NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M, NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M, PCIe, 512 MB
    Opened Rovio Ticket # 60602 and sent complete report to Apple.
    Having searched similar errors in the Apple Support Community, I understand this could be either a programming error or even a bad memory error or something as simple as corrupted files. I may have to do some digging to delete some files that are not directly under .app for this type of error? If there is no solution or work-around for this, please advise of all file names/locations of those files so I can completely trash and attempt another re-install. Scores are not important (although it would be nice to know where those are stored on a MAC) because I need the practice. Squawk!

  • Angry Birds keep crashing on my MacBook Pro.

    I have OS Lion and Angry Birds on my MacBook Pro.  Everything is up to date.  But everything I open Angry Birds it pops up a window that says "The Application quit"  Then it asked restore windows or not to restore windows.  Either option I choose does nothing.
    Help.....

    I have the same problem.  Everything was fine on my Macbook Pro until the App Store told me there was an update for Angry Birds a few weks ago.  Since downloading the update I am geting the same messages described above, and cannot access Angry Birds.  Angry Birds Rio works fine, including the new update of that game. 

  • What is Going on with Angry Birds Space in App Store???

    I purhased Angry Birds Space from the App Store and love it. This morning, there was an update, and I installed it. It offered a new level. I played the new level and then quit the game. I returned to play the game about 30 minutes later, and all of my all of my previous level scores were erased!
    I submitted a review warning people to NOT take the update.
    Tonight I came home and went to the App Store. I searched for Angry Birds Space. It no longer exists! I looked at my purchase history, and there is no longer a record of Angry Birds Space.
    What the heck is going on??? The app is right there on my iMac (with all my level scores still wiped out).
    Yes, I restarted my computer tonight before even going to the App Store.
    Did the App Store YANK Angry Birds Space? Why isn't it in my purchase history anymore? What is going on?!!!

    Lately Angry Birds Space has crashed every time I open it, and then is fine the second time. There has been screen freezing. I also discovered that it is gone from the App store and from my purchase history. I would imagine all those error reports back to Apple have occasioned this and that if they clean up their act, we will see it back. It is very weird though because of course Apple, as usual, gives no clue in the App store why your purchases might be missing. Silence is the usual, and this time is no different. Back to Angry Birdies Rio!

  • No sound anymore in Angry Birds

    Well, it's a pretty trivial issue considering the bad news today, but somehow I think He would have appreciated it. 
    I no longer have any sound FX in Angry Birds.  Sound plays just fine on videos and everything else I can test.  I've rebooted with no success -- haven't tried reinstalling but I suppose that's the next step if you folks don't have any more suggestions.  It's just a little weird.

    Ah, fogot to qualify that I'm using the free version... but I think I'm going to go ahead and buy it (I thought I could resist, but the bird!  The birds!).
    So don't worry about it -- if for some reason when I install the paid version it doesn't work I'll repost (and RIP, beloved Steven).

  • Trackpad behavior

    My trackpad will sometimes go 'weird' on me. Movement becomes jittery, cursor will jump across screen with barely a touch. I've resorted to taking the batteries out and popping right back in. This corrects the problem, but it has come back. Any ideas what's up?

    Is there a system setting to change this or is there
    Have you checked System Peferences/Trackpad?
    some third party software that gives me more options over trackpad behavior?
    Check Versiontracker, Macupdate & run a Google search.

  • IPhone 6 Plus weird screen behavior

    I recently started noticing some erratic touch behavior on my screen, it's as if I have a possessed phone such as taps that I did not make, or swipes (up/down/left/right) as well. The spotlight randomly swipes down, or the notification center (it seems like a consistent swipe down behavior but at different locations). I couldn't swipe left yesterday to unlock my phone, and sometimes hangs and only locking/unlocking can fix the unresponsiveness.
    Moreover, random tappings affect games and apps such as whatsapp, where it goes to the previous page due to a top left page tap, and then again on the edit button, then starts randomly scrolling up and down and tapping random parts of the screen.
    This is quite frustrating, I tried formatting and starting the phone as a new one and only installed Whatsapp, but the problem persisted, albeit at fewer occurrences.
    Now I noticed the problem again even though I'm on iOS 8.1, with only apps, music, and photos synced back from iTunes. What is happening ? How can I get this fixed ?
    Summary
    Issue :
    Erratic touch behavior which cannot be produced on demand
    Rare screen unresponsiveness following the weird touch behavior
    What I've tried :
    Reset and start phone as New
    Reset all Settings
    Hard Reset
    Currently using a sketching app to see how the screen taps randomly (for proof as well).

    Hello zazu90,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To troubleshoot this issue where your touchscreen is behaving erradically on your iPhone, please follow the steps below.
    Restart your device
    Hold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
    If you can't restart your device, reset it by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
    Avoid using the device while wearing gloves, with wet hands, or immediately after applying hand lotion.
    If you have a protective case, or if you are using a plastic sheet or film on the display, try removing them and testing the device without it.
    If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see the Service FAQ for your product.

  • Lion causes Magic Trackpad scrolling to reverse?

    Recent upgrade to Lion has caused the up/down scrolling on the Magic Trackpad to reverse...  Two finger up movement scrolls down on screen, and two finger down movement scrolls up on screen....?????  Opposite to when Snow Leopard was loaded and opposite to trackpad visual cues in System Preferences.

    Yes! I noticed that, too!
    You can switch it back to the trackpad behavior you're familiar with in the Trackpad preferences in System Preferences.
    Just uncheck the first, top-most box, "Scroll direction: natural - Content tracks finger movement."

    Apple doesn't have anything to do with this other than enforcing the DRM protection. The developers of this content expect to be paid if someone wants to use their content. When you purchase content in the app store, you purchase a license to use the content. This license does not permit you or anyone else to resell or give this content away. The individual you purchased the phone from simply does not have the right to sell or give away any purchased content on the phone. You were deceived.

  • If I upgrade an app? Say Angry Birds, what happens to my saved data?

    App store is telling me there's an upgrade available to my paid version of angry birds, new levels etc included. Question though: if I upgrade, will I lose my progress? Having dedicated far too much of my life to this game already, I'm not sure I want to take the risk!!!

    You will not lose any of your data upgrading the app.
