Hi! I have done the trial and just purchased PT 4. To complicate things, I also just got a Mac last week for the first time. I play on Stars mostly, but have been wanting to try 888. I had both apps installed on my PC no problem, and I have Stars and PT4 on my new Mac no problem, either.
Here's my issue:
I can't get the 888 app to download to my Mac. The instructions say to go into System Preferences --> Security & Privacy --> and change "allow apps downloaded from" to any. However apparently with the new OS that is now no longer an option, so I have to play "instant play", and therefore can't get PT4 to work. I'm in Canada. So I guess two questions:
1. Is there any way I can get around the new OS to download 888 app, and
2. If not is there any way to use the HUD on 888 when I'm playing "instant"
Thanks, in advance,
Steve

To enable the option to download apps from 'Anywhere' run the following command via 'Applications -> Terminal':

Code: Select all

sudo spctl --master-disable

You'll probably be prompted for your administrator password after that command and for security reasons you may not see anything as you type it in. Once that is done open up your 'Security & Privacy' window and you should have 'Anywhere' available as an option again. If you want to disable this option after downloading and installing 888 you can run this command in your Terminal:

Code: Select all

sudo spctl --master-enable

Ok thanks, I’ll try that.

You should be able to right click the downloaded app and choose 'Open' which will allow you to run it.

For whatever reason I couldn’t download it to open it. I changed the code to allow apps from “anywhere”. Still wouldn’t download. I finally emailed them and they sent me a url that was different, it worked. Couldn’t have done it without the first step though, thanks Flag Hippo

What ia the URL you used to download it on the MAC im having the same issue?

I don't have the link and this thread is over a year old so I'd suggest you contact 888 support for that if you haven't already done so.
