Need to Find A Laptop That Lets Me Play Sims 3 With Ease

I will be going off to college soon and I will need something to help me pass time between studying, homework, socializing, and class. My favorite game ever is Sims 3! I love the game since I was in grammar school. The thing is I could never find a laptop that successfully let me play. When I got my first laptop I wanted it to play sims 3 right away, but I didn't do any research. So the game kept lagging and what not. I definitely do not want to make that same mistake again. I will have enough money to buy a laptop that will let me play Sims 3 WITH Sims 3 Generations (I hope to get for christmas). So does anyone have an idea of what laptop that can meet my requirements?

The Sims 3 is not very demanding... so if you run across a laptop with a dedicated video chip you will probably be okay. This is a very generic question as you will get a generic answer. Just find a laptop with a Nvidia chip for video as an example as opposed to "Intel HD Graphics". Get a mid-range or higher rated chip as well. Using the Nvidia 500 series as an example: the 510M would barely be pulling its own weight. 550M Would probably run The Sims 3 more than fine with everything maxed. And 580M+ would be for if you were serious about mobile gaming and wanted higher setting in more demanding games. AMD also has graphics chips with the same concept (They are not bad but I am not going into a lot of detail). Keep in mind these consume more power and will decrease battery life. You can also look into if the laptop can switch inbetween video chips to save on power consumption when you are not playing games.

Where do I find a screen that lets me enter my password for activation?

I downloaded Adobe Pro X(Mac) and have my password, but I cannot find a screen that lets me enter the password to activate the program.

There is no password for activation. Do you mean you have a serial number (DON'T tell us what it is)?
Or are you referring to the password for your Adobe ID? Or something else?

HT5622 I need help finding a movie that I downloaded, can anyone help me with this?

Hello, I need help finding a movie that I downloaded, can anyone help me with this?

If you downloaded it to your iTunes library it will be in the Movies folder. If you downloaded it to an iOS device you will find it in the Videos app. This explains how to redownload previously purchased videos (available in some locations as long as the studio permits it): http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12283.

You can view purchases via Store > View My Account on your computer's iTunes (and you can view subscriptions). If you want to contact iTunes support then you can do so via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

My finder is showing that a PC is sharing with my MacBook.

My finder is showing that a PC is sharing with my MacBook. I don't know whose computer it is and my wi-fi network has a password, which I have changed. How do I get rid of it?
The Get Info button says it's a sharepoint memory card, but I can't access its contents. And I did not accidently leave a memory card in my computer.

Since it shows a memory card, and the name starts with "hp", is there a chance that it is a networked HP printer/scanner type of device that is connected somewhere on your network? The memory card readers on such devices often show up on networks.

I need help finding a laptop :)

I'm a college student looking for a laptop that's going to work pretty fast. I don't really know a lot about computers and whatnot but I'm really only going to be using it for my school work and entertainment/music. I'm not really into computer games or anything. I just want a computer that's goin to stay fast and has a long battery life. My budget is up to about $700. Tell me what you think please!
Solved!

To the original poster: Sorry for quasi-hijacking this thread, if you scroll down to the bottom paragraph I get back on point.
To Nokia:
There is a market for each product, and each definitely has their appeals. The point is when it comes to a truly user friendly experience Apple is a better choice. It is impossible to argue that a similar system doesn't exist on a windows platform for cheaper. The point is, the windows computer does require a little more know how to get around, as well as maintain performance. Mac OS is built on UNIX, just with a very user friend GUI. I understand where you are coming from, but turning this into a debate on technicalities and personal bias is of no use to the original poster. For a student, both are viable options. It all comes down to user preference. Coming from a background of both machines my opinion is that Apple is easier to use for a user who is new to computers. Windows computers can be great for value, the point is that it does require a more hands on approach.
Manufacture warranties are LIMITED warranties that only cover flaws in manufacturing. They do not cover wear and tear. To say so is simple to be uninformed. Manufacturers exclude batteries and power cables as they are listed as consumables. They also exclude most LCD displays although exceptions have been made. Another large loop-hole is their lack of power surge protection. If ANY malfunction of a computer is related to a power surge it will not be covered by the manufacturer. Apple covers everything within the computer beyond simple manufacturing error. This full feature warranty can be extended anytime within the first year or ownership.
You mentioned "free" paid for versions of anti-virus. You also said they were trials, so they expire. They aren't free, but for thirty days or so. Also, most free antivirus software is used as an advertisement tool to get the full version with more powerful removal options. Last, the backup software within windows will NOT allow you to image a disc drive. To argue that it does is to say that you could reinstall the operating system from a user created disc within the os pre-packaged software. Windows 7 does not allow for this. Unless you are Windows Platinum or higher certified here there is no credibility in your end user argument. You do need to remove unwanted temporary files and cookies as they are both a potential security risk as well as wasted storage. The more full a hard drive is, the slower it will function. This maintenance has to be done by, or scheduled by the user. On a Mac it does not. The argument that Macs are for "stupid people" is an insult no matter what way you attempt to spin it. Apple advertises an experience. They sell to frustrated PC users and others who want a more worry free environment to operate. All of this is fact. Apple would in no way insult its population of supporters by calling them "stupid".
So far for your no additional cost Windows experience you have mentioned:
The download of third party software that requires a constant active internet connection to type homework, create presentations, as well as spreadsheets
The download of a free antivirus that will either lack updates, a full database of known threats, or full removal tools and in some cases poorly rated protection
The download and installation of trial antivirus on a monthly basis in order to get "free" paid for versions of legitimate subscription software
The need to purchase or otherwise obtain free backup software to create an image of the HDD in case of failure. Even with the creation of this media, a user who is unfamiliar with computers will most likely not be able to reinstall a full operating system, followed by the aforementioned software that will need to be reinstalled afterward. Not to mention the recovery of personal files as a worst case scenario.
The scheduling or time set aside to clean temporary system files periodically
With the proper setup a windows computer can and will last an incredible amount of time. But it is all in the setup. If you know someone, or a willing to pay for someone that knows how to set up a computer correctly a Windows computer is a great choice. I built a computer for my mother not too long ago. It is running Windows 7 but I invested time and money into getting the right software so that maintenance, anti-virus updates and renewals, system updates, and system backups are all automated. At almost a year old the computer still boots in under a minute from post.
Last, I have the highest level windows certification, as well the equivalent Apple certification and can speak from both experience and understanding of the two systems. Like I said, they both have their advantages. The best way to truly appreciate either operating system is to get hands on with them. Try going into a Best Buy so you can compare the two systems side by side. Ask a knowledgeable associate to show you how each work and see which one is for you. If you are investing in something that is going to last you through college and potentially beyond just make sure you are happy with your choice and have thoroughly explored your options. I would say go into an Apple store but the associates there can only sell their product, and are notorious for strict sales goals. Best Buy's non-commission environment is an ideal place to test out the latest in technology. Also, Best Buy has been deemed the best place to buy a computer with the most knowledgeable staff by computer magazines.
My opinions do not in any way shape or form represent Best Buy's Official decisions.

I have v10.5.6. I have installed iTunes 10, but now it's telling me I have to get Safari 4.0.3 or higher. I can't find any version that lets me do that with the version of Mac that I have. In order to use the iTunes library, am I forced to buy Snow Lprd?

Help me! I want to buy songs on iTunes, but it won't let me! Is there a way I can let iTunes know that I use Google Chrome? Or do I just have to spend a lot of money on buying another version of Mac OS X?

Are you still back at version 10.5.6 for your Leopard, sophia?
If so, first update to 10.5.8. Once you're updated to that, check in Software Update again. Do you get shown a new Safari version now?

I am a Media Pastor at a church and am needing to find a Macbook that will fulfill the needs of running Final Cut Pro and Wirestream. What Macbook would be sufficient to do the job?

I am needing some guidance on the purchase of a Macbook Pro. I am wanting to have Wirestream Pro 4, a live streaming/recording software, and Final Cut Pro 7 and am needing to see what i would need to run them as far as drive capacity etc.

The top end MacBook Pro 15" (17" high res/anti-glare for full 1080 HD screen) for mobile video needs with some restrictions and hinderances, you will need the Build to Order 7,200 RPM drive for sure as you need space and speed.
You can have 8GB of RAM from Apple or place 16GB in yourself for a lot less than Apple charges for 8GB. However you need to be handy with tiny screws, or have a local specialist do the 16GB for you.
Your probally better off with a MacPro than a MacBook Pro.
The MacPro is more powerful, and easier to get inside and do things, lasts longer, more ports, more drives, more storage for video, fast external RAID 5 setups etc.
So if you can get into a MacPro, that would be a better option for video.
