Second Life viewer 2 will not launch

[bsamps]

I have an older mac. It has an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and I use the Mac OS X 10.4.11. According to the second life website for requirements this is all I need in order to for the second life viewer 2 to work. However after downloading it when ever I go to launch the program all it does is bounce a couple of times down in dock and then disappear.

Please Help.

I don't know much about Macs, but there is a little more to the system requirements than just Processor and OS. Have you checked the full system requirements here (graphics card?)

If you use other viewers there could be a conflict. Some viewers share the same cache folder which can cause issues. Go in and manually clear your cache folder, see if that allows you to launch the viewer.

Try downloading viewer 2.4 from http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Supported_Viewers  and see if the same thing happens with that one.

I don't know too much about Macs either but I do know Viewer 2 will not work with PowerPC-based Macs, only Intel-based ones.

If that applies to you, your best bet is to download and use the third party viewer Phoenix. http://www.phoenixviewer.com/

And yes I do know OS X10.4 is designed for Intel based machines but I understand many people are running it on G4s.

Hi, LL broke support for Tiger a few versions ago. The system requirements page still says that 10.4.11 is supported, but at present this is not true. There was a JIRA issue filed by a Linden to fix this, but that issue was moved to a Linden private area, and now we do not know if 10.4 support will be restored or permanently abandoned. It is probably time to look for a copy of Leopard or Snow Leopard, and use an older or third party viewer until you can.

EDITING: I see that LL made a decision. The system requirements page has been changed, the minimum OS X version is now 10.5.

LL utterly failed to adequately communicate this decision. For all their talk, still nothing has changed with them.

I'm also having the same problem. I feel like I've tried everything. I've already payed 29$ and ordered Leopard They said it can take up to two weeks to arrive.

So I'm still in a pickle. My computer broke so im stuck using this MacOS X 10.4 and using XCode 2.4.1. I've tried so many viewers but i'm not a mac person so i'm learning slowly....I'm in desperate need for help I sitll believe there's some sort of way to get a viewer to work on this piece of crap grumblegrumble .I've tried rainbow viewer, doesn't work, I've tried Emerald? doesn't even load. Ahh any ideas? D:
