Getting Apterous to work with Apple Mac

Post by Chris Roberts »

Hi,
Is there anyone out there successfully playing on an Apple Mac? I am trying to get my IMac, running Leopard with the latest Java version to work, but just get the ''Attempt 1 of 3" message and no further? I have tried using Safari and Firefox, but to no avail. If you have been successful, which hardware/software combination do you have?

No, I've tried all kinds of things to get my Mac to run a different version of Java - mine's up to date according to software update but that doesn't seem to be up to date enough for Apterous - but I've had luck. I usually manage to play using a Windows VM I have installed but it tends to be a bit flaky and sometimes stops redrawing the screen which is really annoying.

Apterous now works on OS X Leopard. Thanks Charlie :).

It was a pretty minor thing in the end, thanks for your help with getting this fixed.
