The Games Won't Work!

I've recently gotten the Sims 2 and HALO for my mac, the problem is, whenever I play them, my mac will crash for no apparent reason. I've checked the system requirments but my mac should be able to play them, I've also tried calling tech support but that didn't work either. What should I do? I'll try anything just please help!!!

Try using Disk Utility to repair your startup disk (hard drive) as shown in Dr.Smokes Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption.
You may have some directory corruption causing this issue. Repair Permissions also.
Cheers!

  • Older Games won't work...

    I have Zuma and Musika, which I bought for my older 5.5 gen Video Ipod.
    I recently bought a Classic and the games won't sync to it. I looked in the iTunes games store and they indicate only a couple of games are compatible with the Classic.
    Is Apple going to update these games so they work on the Classic or are they just going to screw me out of my games?
    Does anyone know the email for this type of support?

    True. I helped them get even more richer this week by spending $350 on the Complete Bob Dylan and the Complete U2. Great stuff there. Apple is supposed to be making money and there is nothing wrong with that.
    Next generation iPods will require new games then too.

  • I just got an iPhone 5S, now when I try to use my old iPad the apps won't work because they are syncing with my new phone. Can I have the same account for an old iPad and a new iPhone?

    Connect your iPad to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
    If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...
    See the Using iTunes Section Here...

    Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer

    You can contact iTunes and ASK for a refund. Then make make an exception to their all sale are final policy.

  • My laptop thinks there are headphones in at all times, such that the speakers won't work, how do I fix this?

    My laptop thinks there are headphones in at all times, such that the speakers won't work, how do I fix this?

    Thanks but that did not work. Details: when I don't have headphones plugged in, the volume won't go up or down and it also displays a circle with a line through it meaning it's not working. When I go to settings and look at my audio output, it only says headphones, even if no headphones are plugged in. I have tried inserting and removing headphones many times, also tried poking the inside of the headphone jack with a stripped Q-tip, and nothing works. Something inside the jack that senses headphones is not sensing the lack of headphones.

  • The 'r' won't work all and 'y' is really sensitive

    the 'r' won't work at all! Instead, when I type 'r' a 'y' comes up! And the 'y' key has become really sensitive. Its a curve 8520 if that helps. Anyone know what to do? I can't type my password in as I need an 'r' Thanks

    Try the remaining items of:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iPad2 side switch is acting up, it will only allow me to have either sound or rotate. If I unmute the rotate won't work, if I mute the rotate works. How can I get the iPad to unmute and rotate? I have restored, downloaded updates and rebooted.

    You should be able to control the function that the side switch isn't controlling via the left-hand end of the taskbar : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085 - is the icon that appears there (notification mute or rotation lock) indicating that that function is 'off' ?

  • If I already purchased FaceTime for Mac and recently upgraded my HD. How can I retrieve that app again? I found it in my Time Machine back up, but the files won't work. Please help.

    Nope. I do the same exact thing. If you have DVD's and blu-rays you can't download a free application called Handbrake. You can set it to Apple TV2 automatic format and they will come out as playable m4v's that can play I'm iTunes. All you have to do is turn on Home Sharing in both iTunes and your Apple RV and you'll be good to go!

    I guess your definition of "solved" is different from most...
    Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store and get an out of warranty replacement.

  • Hello I went to wipe my 1st generation iPad and then tried to update the iOS now the iPad won't work at all any ideas what I can do?

    Hello I went to wipe my 1st generation iPad and then tried to update the iOS now the iPad won't work at all any ideas what I can do?

    You can't update the original iPad beyond iOS 5.1.1 so if you were already running that version, there was no reason to wipe the iPad to try to update.
    Won't work at all, doesn't tell me the whole story. Does it power up but not respond to anything? Does it not power up at all? Some detailed information in context would really be helpful.
    IF the device will not start up, try a reset. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.

  • My ipod touch has an "activation required" error and the slider won`t work

    I have an itouch that is only 2.5yrs old and only gets occassional use.  A week ago the slider wouldn't work; power switch didn't work; I reset and then tried (unsuccessfully) to restore to factory settings through itunes but encountered an error.  At that point it appeared to be restored and I had use of original feature (clock, settings, etc) but I could not connect to WiFi and when I tried to connect to itunes again it did not recognize my device and now my Windows does not recognize my device.  It tried to reset again but now I get an "activation required" error and the slider won`t work again.

    Any help is greatly appreciated,

    Morning Alison Mcshane,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
