jod123 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 If you got to explore the files on the disc and run setup from there does that make any difference? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

docklanders Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 hi mate, i'm sure youve already figured it out but i use a mac so ill try help, when you first load the disk, there should be a screen telling you to drag the logo, which is FM09, into the applications folder, once done i just go to my applications and its there, what OS are you using, leapord or tiger?

Sam the Seagull Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I'd have thought it should still install if you're on 10.4 though... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fm_macuser Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Ok- us Mac users have had some common problems, I will try and remember them all here and maybe one of them will do the trick! A The first thing I can think of is that you may have had a previous version of FM installed on your machine, which has been known to cause problems. You should clear the caches. So... 1. Go to your Macintosh HD folder then click on user shared then delete the sports interactive folder from there. 2. Go to your home folder which is the one in user/ username then choose the library folder 2.1 make sure you delete the sports interactive folder under caches folder. 2.2 make sure you delete the sports interactive folder under logs folder. 2.3 make sure you delete the sports interactive folder under preferences folder. 3. Click on your macintosh HD folder again and go straight to library then go to the receipts folder then you may see FM packages file there and other updates you may have installed then you go ahead and delete all Fm packages including the the updates too. 4. empty your trash and now you can start a fresh installation. B Now, the second thing that has caused issues with us Mac users is removing the demo of FM 2009. This causes the full game to not work. If you did have the demo installed you need to install it again, and then install the full game. C The next thing that could cause a problem is not having the proper version of Java installed on your machine. Try here for a solution to that: http://blog.libinpan.com/2008/04/java-se-6-on-leopard-officially/ D SI do say that FM09 is not OFFICIALLY supported on os10.4.x but that it MAY run for some users. Sadly, if all the above doesn't pay off then you may be one of the people who it won't work for... Good Luck! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
