Major slowdown when playing backgammon on Yahoo Games

Around the 3rd game I play everything slows to a crawl, getting gradually slower until I am forced to quit the game. I am using Firefox as my browser, haven't tried this on Safari, if that makes a difference. Help will be greatly appreciated.

2 GB is a very small amount to be honest. If it's a mid 2009 machine you can upgrade it to 4, 6 or 8 GB. If you want to know where it all is going look at the Activity Monitor that will tell you exactly how much each application is using. You can upgrade to 4 GB for about $110.

Macbook Pro 13.3" 2.8G 8G RAM is very hot when playing web base flash game =.="

I used to play web based flash game, and could open up to 5 different browsers (with the same game) each time with my old notebook 1.8GHz + 4G RAM (Win 7). However, changing to my new macbook pro 13.3 2.8GHz + 8G RAM (OSX Lion), even opening the same flash game with 1 browser. The keyboard will be soon very hot. If open 2 browsers, there will be noisy fan sound and keyboard will become even hotter =.="
Could engineer in Apple solve this issue??? or any suggestion???

Mahdi411,
if Candy Crush is a graphics-intensive game, then your MacBook Pro will consume energy (and generate heat as a side effect) to meet those graphics demands. The fans run quickly to expel as much as heat as possible, so that your MacBook Pro’s components don’t bake. The additional airflow generates more noise.

MacBook Pro Retina 13" fan very loud/overheats when playing full screen video/games

Hi,
Just purchased a MacBook Pro Retina, refurbished (because why not - the same product for a cheaper price) around a month ago. It's the 13 inch and is the model before the most recent one came out (4GB of RAM instead of 8GB - late 2013). From the very first day, playing a full-screen video on any site (be it YouTube, Facebook, etc) just makes the fan much louder than usual (so loud that you can almost hear it more over the video itself). Thought it may have been just a thing with Flash Player being buggy, but the problem has persisted for a while now. I'm not even pushing the CPU to any limits - literally playing a full-screen video on Facebook (not even in HD) makes the fan go crazy.
Just last night I tried installing Borderlands 2 and it was the same thing - FPS rate was fine, no lag, just the fan was so loud that I actually got scared for my computer and turned it off. After closing the app and checking out the fan temperature, it was at 91c.
Never happens when browsing/surfing or doing my usual work.
Should I go give it back to Apple? The thing is I start university in less than a week (and hence will be traveling), so not sure if I can afford to give my laptop in to them for a long period of time (I know it should be free though since mine is a refurb item). May it just be an issue that is quickly repairable or is this worse?

During processor intensive activities—such as processing HD video or playing a game that makes extensive use of the graphics processor—the fans speed up to provide additional airflow.

not sure what your sentence is trying to say? Are you telling me to
use a cleaner CD called 10+20, that could help? Help what the drive or the DVD?
I have a new drive that is only a few months old, I had to buy a new one
due to my old drive dying, it was the old drive in which I burned those
DVD's, so ideally it is like I am using a new drive different from the one
it was burned on. This is really upsetting to know that there is no
for sure way of being able to replace information that is burned to a DVD
I could understand if it was very very old. Should I contact Verbatim I wonder?
This is very annoying.

How to disable menu bar and dock when playing a full screen game? Like sims 4

i play sims 4 on my MacBook pro and if I go to close to the bottom of the screen or the top the menu bar or dock pops up I was wondering if there is A program or a setting I can use to disable that while in something full screen or gaming

The game itself should already have the option for full screen. But you can go to system preferences dock and check the hid dock option. Then you would have to go to the very edge of the screen to get the dock to reappear.

Sometimes flickering when playing low to medium games

pc flickers with some games, tried another monitor still flickered, pc only has integrated graphics.
Would changing power box to higher level and putting in a video card help?

Hello @gary2165,
I have read your post on how your desktop's display screen flickers with some games, and I would be happy to help you!
Since you mentioned that this issue occurs on multiple displays, I recommend following the steps in this document on Display Quality Issues. This should help to refresh the resolution, as well as updating any applicable graphics card drivers.
If the flickering continues, you may need to upgrade your graphics card to use the monitor.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

4th gen..music pauses when played, no sound in games...

..have reset/restored/reloaded all software..is this a hardware problem? menus also operating slowly/freezing sometimes...memory issue??

If you restored to factory defaults/new iPod then you very likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Cannot play yahoo games anymore on my mac- java will not update any ideas

i used to play cards on yahoo games, but can't anymore....the games won't load....any ideas? thx!

Also make sure the file type is not of a DivX. That your camera supports. Which QT for Mac also supports, but the Windows version of QT does not support DivX, so you're not purchasing something for the Windows computer that is not needed?

Java/font/yahoo games

I recently upgraded to the latest version of Tiger.
Now, when I go to Yahoo Games (specifically Word Racer) the font that is used in the java window that opens is unreadable. Previously, (on Panther) the only browser that would display it clearly was Opera, but now it is the same in any browser that I have tried. (Safari, IE, Opera, Firefox, Mozilla, Netscape, Omniweb, iCab).
Anyone know how to remedy?
Need my Word Racer fix!
Maybe I'll just switch to decaf and see if that helps......
Thanks,
Rex
iBook G4, powerbook TiG4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

We have the same problem in literati. Explorer 5.2 on the old G 3 I-mac is the only browser that works. If safari doesn't work maybe we could call Bill and beg. Our new intel i-mac will not run explorer 5.2.

Upgraded Java: Yahoo games won't load

Just upgraded to the very latest Java (JRE-7U51) and each time I try to play an online Yahoo game, I get the following message:
Application Blocked by Security Settings
Name ygames_applet
Location http://yog34.games.sp2.yahoo.com
Your security settings have blocked an untrusted application from running
I've uninstalled it and re-installed it, but it's the same thing each time. Anyone know what I can do about this?

Roger Barre
Sorry to hear you are experiencing this problem with Java. As for Java, avoid the new update (Java 7 Update 51). You can uninstall Java and then revert back to the last working version (Java 7 update 45) to get apps that use java working again.
I would suggest and I hope my post won't get taken down from Apple for advertising. Google "AppCleaner" a Mac must have! Use this utility to remove java and all of it's component files from your Mac. You can then revert to the last working version of java by running the JRE-U45 installer.
Life is good again

Yahoo games problem

I updated a few days ago to the beta but now I can't play euchre on yahoo games - any suggestions?

The following forum thread is lengthy:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=761441
Read it.
Please pay attention to why no one in that thread received any help.
Use that to understand why you'll get no help.
This is a software development forum. (... writing software code)
There are NO forums for help with how JRE works inside your browser program.

When playing games on the ipad I have no sound and it it very slow.

when playing games downloaded from the app store I have no sound and the games arte very slow?

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.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

How do I get my security settings to allow access to yahoo games I have been playing for years and now can't play with this P.O.S. update 26.0 and Java update?

I recently updated my Firefox browser to version 26.0 and my Java to version 7 update 51 and now I can't access any of the Yahoo games I have played for years. I get a box that says "your security settings have blocked an untrusted application from running. Also, the box has two other lines; Name: ygames_applet and Location: http://yog10.games.sp2.yahoo.com. After all this time, this browser and my Chrome browser both give me this crap when I try to log in to yahoo games.
