SL Viewers not running on a new Mac

I'd say your viewers are failing on making HTTP connections - Second Life uses two different types of connections. Older viewers like Phoenix use mostly UDP connections, Viewer 2 and later, including Firestorm, use a mixture of HTTP and UDP. You should try a direct connection instead of wireless first of all, and here's a link to a fix that works for a lot of Mac users.

Don't use wireless. Add a wire from the PC, to the modem.

If you can login, visit an empty region, like the Region named Smith open your inventory there, and wait for it to load.

So you're on Mountain Lion. You have to tell your big cat how to accept SL as an authorized application. Under you Security preferences, choose "authorize from anywhere", not just from "App store" and" Apple identifyed developers".  :smileyhappy: (Using an Ethernet cable goes without saying. SL hates wifi, especially on Macs).
