New Games waking me up with useless little notes!

I downloaded a couple games for my kids to play, and they keep displaying useless little messages at all hours, to try to get me to play again. Not usre what these messages are called ... Notifications?? Alerts?? Badge?? Banner?? Whatever they are, they are annoying as he11. I've tried going into settings and turning stuff off, but I'm probably just making a mess, and these things keep showing up. Can someone please help me with the terminology here and let me know how I can stop the harassement. :-) Thanks.

Thx. Seemed to work for a couple days but one game just sent me another notification. I checked and is in the DO NOT INCLUDE section of the notification Center. Any other ideas?

    Mac user, OSX 10.9.4. CS6, in the new Blur gallery the pin with adjusters does not appear for any of the three blur filters. This may have occurred since taking adobe watermark add-on and updating Bridge. any ideas?

    I am using Mac OSX 10.10.1 (memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, graphics Nvidia GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB)
    and my version of Photoshop is CC.
    I ran into  the same problem: I am able to place and view Blur Gallery pins but the adjustment wheel or outer control arounf the pin that allows you to tweak the blur value disappeared after being initially available. Additionally, the placed pin or pins appear to flicker on screen (while in blur gallery mode) until committing the change with the OK button. I have tried restarting both the computer and Photoshop, as well as what some other users have suggested such as View>Show>Edit pins turned on. Nothing has helped so far. I am still able to adjust the blur amount  from the Blur Tools slider. thank you.

  • New GE70, killer e2200 working with WIFI but not by cable

    Hi!
    I bought a GE70 today and noticed that I can connect to the internet through WiFi but not with a network cable.
    I've tried to upgrade drivers and such, but it still doesn't work. I've no router in this apartment so I'm using WiFi through my old laptop so I can figure this thing out.
    What I've done so far:
    1. Installed the drivers on the CD which I got with the computer. Although when on BigFoot LAN Driver, it says that I've already another version installed and need to uninstall it).
    2. Downloaded the drivers for the network card through MSI homepage and installed. Funny thing, after that not even the WiFi worked.
    3. Tried to unplug the power for the modem and wait a while and then plug it back in but that didn't work either.
    4. Figured it might've been something wrong with windows so I did a factory recovery but that didn't seem to help either.
    All I get when I plug the cable in, I get the "Limited access" (yellow mark) on the LAN icon down in the right side corner.
    Has anyone else gotten this problem?
    Kind regards,
    W

    Thank you for your reply.
    I think I've got it sorted now. I tried another network cable and it works now.
    It's weird however since the cable I've used for about a month now works with my old computer (Win7) but not with my new computer.
    Gonna go to an electronic store later and see if it will make any difference if I buy a new cable.
    Does the killer e2200 only accept certain sort of network cables?
    Thanks again.
    W
    It really should work with any network cable to be honest, as long as it's not a PATCH cable. Patch cables are wired slightly differently, but they are rare anymore.

  • My drive recently had to be replaced with a new one installed by Apple they reinstalled all my stuff from my time machine. Most my programs had to be updated which I managed with a little help from my friends, but the last one that I can't solve is

    My IMAC OSX 10.6.8   2.8 GHz intelcore  2Duo 4GB 800 Mhz DDR2 SDRam recently had to have its hard drive replaced by apple thy actually had to give me a larger one because mine was no longer available,They also reinstalled all my programs and data from my 2 terrabite time machine back up. I got my system home and found that I had to upgrade most of my programs which I managed with a little help from my friends, but I still have one problem that I can't solve I have a Nikon Coolpix S6 that I have Been Syncing with my Iphoto since I've got it 3 years ago and now when I place it in the cradle the program reconizes it and says that it is going to start to import the new photos the little white wheel in the center of the screen starts spinning but nothing else happens. I checked all my connections and they are goog plus I even downloaded a nikon progam just to double check the camera & cradle and it works there but it wont pair off with my IPhoto.

    First go to iPhoto Preferences, look in both General and Advanced tabs to make sure that things are set to import from camera into iPhoto.
    Then if that doesn't help, connect the camera and open Image Capture in your Applications > Utilities folder and see if you can use Image Capture to reset the import path from the camera to iPhoto.

  • HT201272 I just bought a new iPad. When I tap on Purchase in the App store I see all my previously purchased apps each with a little box that says open. There is no download cloud. How do I get these apps onto my home screen?

    I just bought a new iPad and the apps I had previously purchased are in the app store under Purchased. They appear with a little box that says "Open". There is no download cloud so I can't click on them to download the apps to my home screen. Is there a way to move these apps to my home screen?

    If they have 'open' next to them then that implies that they are already on your iPad - if you tap on the 'open' button does that open the app ? If it does then they are on your iPad. You've checked all your homescreens and tried a soft-reset to see if they show after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Can i use my wired xbox controller with a new game i just bought (call of duty 2)

    can i use my wired xbox controller with a new game i just bought (call of duty 2

    If you can find drivers for it (it could be partially supported already since OS X comes with a load of drivers build in)... I guess it could work.
    I know some people use USB Overdrive to make stuff compatible, you might want to give it a spin: http://www.usboverdrive.com
    Then again Microsoft does have a PC version of it: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/p/xbox-360-controller-for-windows#detail s

  • 7600GT not supported with new game "PREY"?

    Hi there.
    I was just about to order a 24" imac with the graphics card upgrade to the 7600GT but i did a quick scoot around on the net to see if some new games were ok with this card and i discovered that PREY for example mentions the 7300GT but not the 7600GT.
    http://www.macobserver.com/review/2007/03/19.2.shtml
    Are there any known compatibilty issues with the 7600 and should i stick with the 7300?
    I do like to play games now and again
    Thanks.

    Go with the 7600GT it does twice as well in FPS (frames per second) than the 7300. Any game that supports the 7300 will support the 7600.
    I recommend bootcamp under XP for games. I have my new copy of XP waiting for Leopard with the ZFS file system to release then I get my 24" iMac.
    Have a great day,

  • Is it possible to replace the folder image in the bookmarks list with little images to help identify the folder. I see that many places I have bookmarked automatically come with a little picture (the CBS "eye", New York Times Old English Script).

    When I open my list of bookmarks most of the folders I have established have only the little file folder icon to the left. I would like to replace this file folder with some little picture or symbol to make the folders more easily identifiable. Is this possible?

    There aren't extensions that can replace the favicon of a bookmarks folder AFAIK, so you will have to do that via code in userChrome.css in the chrome folder below the @namespace line.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
    You can use the ChromEdit Plus or Stylish extension to have easier access to the customization files.
    *ChromEdit Plus: http://webdesigns.ms11.net/chromeditp.html
    Folder names (label="name") are cases sensitive and need to match exactly what you get via the properties
    Pace the folder-icon.png icons in the same chrome folder.
    This code works for icons on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
    <pre><nowiki>#personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item[container][label="Folder_Name"]{
    list-style-image:url('folder-icon.png')!important;

  • How do you accept a friend request in the new Game Center with iOS 7.0.4?

  • Game won't load with new quicktime?!

    After downloading the latest version of quicktime a game i've played with no problems for a couple of years (civilization III) suddenly won't load on my iBook (G4, os10.4 i think). Any suggestions? Can i uninstall without affecting other things? Or install an older version? Thus far it seems my only option is to buy the next version which seems a bit unfair given the other one was working just fine. Perhaps apple should be made to instigate a part-exchange to upgrade!!!

    Before doing anything drastic as an Archive & Install to move to a lower QT version, I suggest that you update your OS system first. According to your system info, you are using the basic Tiger version which is outdated.
    You should update your OS all the way up to the last Tiger version, use Software Update to install all the available updates that goes along w/your computer & the OS.
    Repair permissions & restart your computer.

    Carefully follow steps 1-9 outlined by wjosten in this post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/13356770#13356770.  This will not, however, avoid wiping any non-purchased media from your phone (ripped CDs, etc.) as this is only synced one way: from your computer to your phone.  You will have to either rebuild your iTunes library with this content and sync again to restore it to your phone, or purchase 3rd party software to copy it from your phone to iTunes prior to syncing (such as Touch Copy).

  • Itunes wont let me sync new games

    When i try to sync the games I just bought(song summoner) i get a message saying that if I do it will replace all games on my ipod with the games in my library, but the problem is my ipod video came with several simple games(Brick, Parachute, Music Guiz, and solitaire) preloaded on it, will it delete these games if I ok the sync or will they be ok, and if they will get deleted is there anyway get my new games onto my ipod without losing the preloaded ones?
    Thanks for your help!

    If you mean the built in games( and I think you do), they can't be deleted. If you mean games that someone else put on your iPod before you bought it, they would be deleted.
