Jimi Reinard Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Hi all,I am a mac user and am having some problems - I did a cleanreinstall of sl in an effort to get it to work faster and now no viewers aside from the project viewer - (simple inventory) will load at all. I don't even get a log in screen. All I get is the icon appearing as if it was going to load up on the bottom of my screen and then 'crashing unexpectedly' I have tried Firestorm, the latest LL viewer asnd singularity, is all the same. I am guesing that I have some invenory issues, but I have no diea what. I have tried clearing the cache etc to no avail....Thanks for the helpJimi.

valerie Inshan Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 We'll need to know a bit more to be able to help, Jimi. What Mac are you on and which OS? Please also tell us about your internet connection (wireless or cable?). Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansariel Hiller Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 If you can't even get to the login screen, it's something different from inventory issues. As Valerie already pointed out, we need more information about your system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimi Reinard Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Oh, and my internet connextion is wireless, but I could plug into the router. Its a standard broadband connection, running at about 4500kbps the weird thing is that they all used to work.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSX 10.5 isn't supported anymore by newer viewer versions. Required minimum is 10.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valerie Inshan Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Thank you for your reply. 10.5.8 was relased in August 2009, which is a bit outdated now. Your iMac should be able to upgrade at least to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. This should allow you to run Second Life correctly, even though maybe not on higher graphics. Unlike other PCs on wich you can update your graphics card from the manufacturer's website, graphics upgrades on Mac are only provided along the OS updates. See the Apple forums about upgrading to 10.6.8, and also, if your Mac can handle it, how to upgrade to recent OS such as Lion or Mountain Lion. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4419265?start=0&tstart=0 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4168487?start=0&tstart=0 If you cannot upgrade to a higher OS, you may have to use an older viewer such as Rainbow/Cool Viewer (but won't be able to see Mesh) http://coolviewer.googlecode.com/fil...taller.dmg.zip http://coolviewer.googlecode.com/fil...taller.dmg.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valerie Inshan Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Adding to my previous reply, not only you need to upgrade your OS, but DO NOT use wireless. Use an Ethernet cable plugged from your router to your Mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Mac updater only prompt for updates of the current OS. When there is a complete new release, you have to puchase it. Good luck! :smileyhappy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
