I recently purchased Angry Birds for the Mac. Visitors played it and have lots of scores. Is there anyway to reset the scores? (Rovio website is not much help.) Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

Angry Birds scores reset

By scores do you mean the stars? If so delete the game and redown load it. That should clear everything. You wont have to pay again since you already bough it once
Thanks.
Yes, stars. That should do it. I wasn't aware that you could download again without paying again.

Yes because the game is tied to your itunes account.
Its like when you buy a new iphone or ipod, you need to redownload all the games an apps, they dont make you pay for them again as long as you are using the same itunes account
Angry Birds score reset
Removed the app on my computer and downloaded it again. Scores remain the same. Would still like to start from scratch. I can't find any preferences for AB.

Try to create a Crystal account, that would contain the scores you don't want.
Then create another account, which might be a fresh account.

To reset the scores in OSX you need to navigate to /Users/"your username"/Library/Application Support/Rovio/Angry Birds and delete the following,
settings.lua
highscores.lua
this resets the game to the beginning
If anyone knows how to launch a different instance of the game so someone else can start from the begining without having to delete the scores I would be gratefull

Make a folder called something like Angry Birds Scores, then have each subfolder inside that folder with the name of the person eg John, Max etc. Drag the two files above into those folders and when you wish to start the game from one of those accounts drag their prefrences back into the game.
If it makes sense it should work lol...
You'll need to use Finder. Here's a video tutorial that you can look at for some tips on using it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWrfN6vRe24

In Lion the Library folder is hidden by default. You will need to go into terminal and type "chflags nohidden library" to be able to view it in finder.
I'm sure there is some way in finder menu to reveal it, but this is a easy way to make it always visible.

I opened terminal, typed that and pressed enter, no difference?
Is this possible?

I have the 2 files in separate folder, how do you drag to the game as if you literally drag files onto the game itself, nothing happens, also if you drag to angry birds icon on the dock nothing happens. Is there another way?
After you run that command, the Library folder will show up in your user/home folder in finder.
If someone is still looking for a way for multi users under the same OSX Account let me know I can write an apple script to accomplish this for you user then manually dragging and droping.
