0 paula Mellow Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 SL does run on mac's ...at least for me. I got the development viewer running on a white maobook intel (2009 ) 310 nvidia. Ran well. ( I can't remember the exact version but i think it ws around 2.6) When the osx version "lion" arrives in july... Upgrade to it. That perhaps will solve your problems. And give you alot of mac specfic features! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Beary Delicioso Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I am on a Macbook..... i tried the DNS addition as per the Windows answer... go to the Apple icon.... click system preferences.... click network.... go to the DNS tab. Write down the current DNS number. Click the '' + '' sign at the bottom.... put in the DNS number you wrote down. Click the '' + '' sign again and add the next DNS number... and repeat for the other DNS number that were given in the Windows fix. Accept or OK it.... close it. I clicked ''Apply'' on the Syst. Pref screen. then go and try to run the viewer. I was able to run the Firestorm viewer one ABOVE the beta (first) version. I have NEVER been able to run that. HIP HIP HOORAY. IT WORKED. Thank you so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
