Mac OS X problem

da dude of halo2 · Post by **da dude of halo2** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 11:28 pm

I brought the Live Demo to school and (the computure is a Mac Osx the new ones.) It said to drag the folder to the hard drive I did and when I clicked on it it said that the folder has been delited I looked though all of it and It seems just fine so whats going on?

Sometimes OSX tries to be "too clever" when you drag something, and it just makes an alias (a shortcut to the ORIGINAL) instead of actually copying it.

To get around this, hold down the option key while you drag the Demo Folder to the hard drive and it will make a proper copy.

hope this helps!

since it's a school perhaps you don't have permissions to do this?

Hello,

there was a bug in the very first Live 5 version, which is Live 5.0, that was causing that error message. It's been corrected some three days after the release, but I guess you demo version is still a 5.0 version.
You can download the 5.0.3 demo from our website:

Try it and get back to me if you still have a problem.

Kind regards,

Amaury

You smart ! You're right, but still the error sound so much like Live 5.0....

So yes, if the computer is an Intel Mac, you should download the beta version for 5.2, it is the Universal binary version of Live:
