MacAir slowing dramatically while playing games

My macbook air has recently been extremely slow while running games that I normally play on my computer with no trouble at all.
I used to be able to play the games (Heroes of Newerth and Starcraft II) at maximum graphics with minimum to no lag at all, even with other programs on (MSN, Skype, microsoft office etc) and now when I even open the game my computer slows down dramatically that I can barely type on MSN with the game open.
Has it been infected?
Or are there RAM issues, im not too sure...
please help!!

Well,
I've never really fount it sluggish actually
And yes,when the games are on the whole machine is sluggish, including the game, and if the game isn't running it isn't sluggish. However, it used to still be functioning at a much quicker speed than currently,and thats the performance drop that i find to be strange. (Even with minimum graphics settings on both my games my computer is still sluggish, and i've only used roughly a third of my space 128gb mac air)
I've rebooted multiple times with the same resultto no avail...

Slow respond and lag while playing game

Slow respond and lag while playing game, some time will also auto drop out to main menu page, the worse case will hang up. Compare to iPhone 2G and iPhone 3G(using the same version SW and playing the same game), my iPhone 3G will only having these problem, it is surprising why iPhone 2G speed is more faster and smoothly than iPhone 3G? Did apple can release new update version SW to solve this issue, or apple can adding selection in Setting application to allow user to turn off all un-applicable application to speed up iPhone 3G? Thanks and looking for respond!

I know I am not addressing Apple here, I would like to do so, but I don't know how to reach them. I just want to share my experiance and would like to know did this is because of my 3G iPhone problem, or all 3G iPhone will having the same phenomena like me? I had try to reset the phone, but it is not work. But I found a way to increasing the speed, it is switch to Airplane Mode. But if switch iPhone to Airplane Mode then only able to speeding up, then the iPhone will became an Ipod Touch and not anymore an iPhone again.

What would cause the original I Pad shut itself off while playing games or online? it is not a battery issue or time issue. When I turn it back on it goes to were I was when I was online ,but have to start games over.

The original iPad has a slow processor and only 256 MB of memory so it often runs into low-memory failures.
Double click the home button and dismiss all of the recents - I do that weekly.
Then reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider - I also do that weekly.
Both seem to help to reduce the low-memory faults that occur.

HT1688 My iPhone 4s battery got drained while playing games, and now it won't open even if im charging. what can i do?.

My phone's battery got drained while playing games and now it wont open if i connect it to my charger,?.what can i do? my phone was given to me as a gift from the a relative in the US and im from the Philippines. How can i fix it? Do i need to bring it to any apple center to have it replaced? or is there a quick fix to this problem?...

Keep iPhone on Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still OFF, keep on Wall Charger and Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, this can sometimes take about 20 seconds time of holding both buttons while on charger.

Please do not post more than about 50 lines of console logs or output from an Application crash at a time. No one can make it through those.

S890 screen turns off while playing games

I bought this phone a week ago.Everything about this phone is awesom except one thing. The screen turns off while playing games automatically,which is really annoying. Is there any fix for this??

Graphics card springs to mind;
also, in your game settings, in either options or video settings (or similar). Are the settings correct for your card. I know on a low end PC, "full hardware acceleration" can cause crashing.
I'd still think, it's more a graphics related problem. If you have a big flat screen mintor (e.g 24,27 or even 30") then that, in it's own right needs a good card. Add the game to it and you may have problems. I do take it you have compared the specs with what's required on the box (of the game) and "about this mac/"more info"). All the best.

FF 3.6.6: No .sol-files created while playing games on Kongregate?

Ever since the update to 3.6.6 FF has not been creating any .sol-files (or the accompanying folders) for saving progress while playing games on the site Kongregate.
I have checked the Global Storage Settings panel of Flash and they are as they should be.
I have tried deleting and re-installing both flash and FF without result.
.sol-files are being created while using IE.
I'm using fully updated XP.
I'd appreciate any help, TIA

That indeed might be the problem!
The slider is mysteriously on the none-setting at that particular tab!? (any guess as to why? I certainly haven't touched it!)
I have tried putting it on unlimited, but it keeps returning to the none-setting after I switched tabs. This only happens on that particular tab, changes I make on other tabs are saved normally.
Any suggestions on fixing this?

After iOS7 update while playing game iphone 5 overheat in just 2-3 mins. How to fix this problem?

After iOS7 update while playing game iphone 5 overheat in just 2-3 mins. How to fix this problem? Before upgrade to iOS7 I used to play game for hours and never faced this problem. This is specially when I play HayDay.
Please advise.

Buenas, otra vez. Terminé resolviendo mi problema instalando el AE CC. que no es lo que quería en principio pero al final lo que me importa es poder disfrutar del programa. el único problema es que gracias a la tarjeta gráfica que trae mi modelo de MacBook, no podré disfrutar de la opción de trabajar los gráficos en GPU sino únicamente en CPU. ya que para trabajar en GPU necesito el complemento CUDA que mi tarjeta no lo puede utilizar. igual seguiré buscando respuestas a mi caso por la web y otros foros.
Hello again. I ended up installing AE CC to fix my problem. although that was not what I was looking for but at the end all that matter is to enjoy the software. The only unsolving issue is that I won't be able to enjoy the option of working graphics in GPU mode due to my graphic card. It needs CUDA and intel doesn't support it. I'll keep on looking for answers to my trouble with AE CS6 in the web.

While playing games computer feels somewhat hot to the touch is it going to burn out?

Hi while playing games I feel like my macbook is going to burn out because the bottom feels somewhat hot to the touch from playing games for about 15 minutes I don't want my computer to get ruined from this unless it can't but is there any way to keep it cool, It's brand new 8 gb of ram and 2.9 ghz processor

You could use a cooling pad - with or without fans. But it's normal for MacBook Pros to heat up when playing games. Your fans should rev up as your MBP heats up. If it gets too hot, you'll experience a thermal shutdown before anything can be ruined - but I doubt that you're even close to that!

After upgrading to latest IOS while playing games screen is flickering

While playing games screen is flickering after upgrading to latest IOS.

I have taken it out of the case - I figured it would obstruct the sensor (also have no screen protector).
Only thing I haven't tried from the Basic troubleshooting steps you mentioned was to "restore as new".
That I did try it tonight (succesffully restored), BUT my problem still exists.
You mentioned to go in the MAC store > Would they replace it (for free) if they reach the conclusion it's some sort of manufacturer faulty wiring even if it's a 3Gs (as an old model)?
Would they still if phone had water damage (this I'm just curious - the phone didn't)?

My ipod jumps, skips and slows down while playing songs. It is very annoying.

My ipod jumps, skips and slows down while playing songs. It is very annoying. Is it fixable??????

I have the same problem. Often, the songs worked perfectly fine before, even the previous day! Changing the format does not help either, nor does restoring iPod settings. In another case, a song WILL work after settings are restored, but after a few plays will return to its old state of making the ipod reset.
