Why won't my mac keep up with my game (rollercoaster tycoon 3)

The game cuts in and out. I have to wait for the computer to catch up.

Hi pellDan,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!  You might try quitting open applications using the steps from iOS: Force an app to close (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137):
Follow these steps to force an app to close:
From the Home screen, click the Home button twice.
Tap and hold on the app.
When it starts to jiggle, tap the to close it.
Double-click the Home button and try opening the app again.
I hope this helps!
Best,
Sheila M.

  • Why won't my mac file share with my network?

    I want to share my files throughout my home network, but my mac computer is the only one that is causing trouble. My other windows computers and the USB drive connected to my router is working fine. Whenever I try to look for these devices through the network folder on my mac computer, it just sits there and no other devices appear. On any other computer, they will show up within 5 seconds. I have let it sit for 5 minutes and I nothing has found up.
    How can I get these computers and usb drive to show up. This mac has been resisting me the whole way when it comes to network.

  • Why won't my MAC recognize a DVD with JPG...HELP!!!

    I have received 3 different DVD's from this photographer in an effort for me to be able to view my pictures.  None of them work!!  She has now given me a cd and it works fine!?!!?  Why won't my Mac recognize the DVDs??

    A friend of mine turns out a lot of DVD's for and organization that he does photo work for and he has found
    that burning DVD + or - can make a diferance along with the age of the player and he has gone back to
    burning them at the slowest speed possible. (people in the organization sends him old pictures that he fixes
    then burnes a DVD for them and returnes the pictures and DVD.)

  • Why won't my Mac with Mountain Lion OS recognise my external Samsung hard drive?

    Why won't my Mac with Mountain Lion OS recognise my external Samsung hard drive?

    Launch/Utilities/Terminal and enter this command at the prompt:
    diskutil list
    Press return.
    If it sees the disk, note the number of the disk (far left column) you want to mount.
    Then, enter this command:
    mount /dev/(number of disk)
    Put in the number no parenthesis.
    Press Return.
    If that doesn't wortk try the same with this command...
    mount force /dev/(number of disk)

  • Why won't my Mac with Mt Lion update my calendar and address book through iCloud

    Why won't my Mac w Mt Lion update mt Calendar and Address book through the Icloud?

    Are you really still running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) as shown in your profile? If so, that's why. Full use of iCloud needs at least Lion 10.7.2 or Mountain Lion.
    If you have upgraded to Mountain Lion and forgot to update your profile, here are some things to check:
    Is it on a network?
    Is it signed into iCloud? The same iCloud Account?
    Are Contacts and "Calendars & Reminders" checked in the iCloud and same account's "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" panels of System Preferences?
    Are you looking at the correct accounts in Calendar and Contacts?

    why won't my Mac Lion recognize Kindle device? I want to use files on my Kindle but when I plug in the Kindle USB to the MacBook Pro's port, the computer won't show it or recognize it.

  • Why won't my mac internal microphone work?

    Why won't my mac internal microphone work?

    I just found and removed a small piece of sticky tape which was covering the mic. The mic is on the top surface of a mac - you can only just see a lighter coloured small round circle in line with the camera on the top narrow surface. My problem was sorted despite all other help and just before I gave up.  Check no-one has posted a sticky message, camera cover or even an ornament over your mic. How many folk know where the mic is?

  • Why won't my Mac Pro go to sleep?

    Why won't my Mac Pro go to sleep?

    Hi X,
    I've been having the same problem of mac pro not going to sleep. I think its to do with some universal audio drivers installed with a recent hardware interface I've added.
    the terminal app in response to above line reads;
    com.uaudio.driver.UAD2System(6.3.1)
    com.uaudio.driver.UAFWAudio(4.0.0
    com.digidesign.iokit.DigiDal(9.0.6f4)
    com.paceap.kext.pacesupport.snowleopard(5.8)
    launch agents (in user)
    com.adobe.ARM.202f4087f2bbde52e3ac2df389f53a4f123223c9cc56a8fd83a6f7ae.plist
    com.apple.FolderActions.enabled.plist
    com.apple.FolderActions.folders.plist
    com.google.keystone.agent.plist
    launch agents and daemons - too many to list
    any idea from this or would you need to see all the files you listed in Mona Gorillas query?
    appreciate your input

  • Why won't my Mac recognize Verbatim Dual Layer blank DVDs?

    Why won't my Mac recognize Verbatim Dual Layer blank DVDs?
    I've just completed a 140 minute project in FCP. I've encoded an MPEG2 file that is 5.75GB in size. Brought into DVDSP and am trying to burn the DVD.
    I have Final Cut Studio 1, latest updates and everything.
    Because of the 5.75GB size I need to burn to Dual Layer DVD. I have Verbatim 4x 8.56GB dual layer DVDs.
    When I click buld/burn and pop in a dual layer DVD I get an error saying "please insert compatible disc".
    Even with every app closed. If I put one of these DVDs in my Mac it simply spits it out after about 20 seconds.
    For some reason the Mac won't handle or understand these Dual Layer DVDs.
    I bought this Mac Pro about 4 months ago and it is the 2 x 2.66Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon machine and the DVD drive (according to system profiler) is a Pioneer DVD-RW DVD-111D. In system profiler it says "Pioneer DVD-RW DVD-111D"
    Can anyone tell me if this DVD player is actually capable of dual layer, or do I need to buy one.
    In System Profiler under Revision it says: AB09 and under Protocol it says: ATAPI
    Can anyone advise please?

    If you have access to a pc into which you can install the 112, or if you have bootcamp, you can replace the Apple supplied firmware with Pioneer firmware. This should restore full functionality to the drive. The latest Pioneer firmware for the drive is version 1.21 and can be found here: http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/Firmware/SingleModel.aspx?DriveId=1426
