shop history counter wont download on a mac, any ideas how to make it work?

Submitted by puppystitches on Sun, 26/07/2009 - 11:03am
I recently got a mac and am still figuring out how to use it. But the little window with the downloads shows up when i click download for the sales history application and when i click it to open it, another little window pops up saying "the content of the file cannot be extracted with this program. And this program would help me out a lot so anyone with a mac or someone who knows what to do, please help =)

Oh I am sorry Katie! I would like to know to as I want to switch to a mac. Supposedly they are safer for internet searching and stuff. Most of the virus' out there are made to target Microsoft. Sounds like a question for Dmitri!

As stated on the sys requirements page, the neomallers portal is not supported natively in the Macs and I dont intend to add support since macs are notoriously overpriced and terrible :P Actually, it's too much work maintaining multiple versions since as soon as i figure out a way to port it to Macs, linux users will start complaining. And when those linux users are satisfied, *insert operating system that no one's ever heard of* users will start complaining, and by the time I'm done with all of it, I'll probably find a bug end up redoing the whole thing over again. However, there is a way to make it work (someone here got it working) but I have no idea how it goes. I just linked to the article if anyone else wants to give it a shot.

I know how to get your shop history to work. First you unplug that pice of shyt macintosh and get a real computer. Then come back and redownload the portal.

for the record i needed to get a mac because i am going to college and thats what they recommended we get i cant base what computer i get on what computer is better for neopets lol

PCs are better overall. I think Apple Computer pays these schools to recommend them to their students.

well there were 2 reasons. The tech team there knew how to work with macs better in case something went wrong with mine it would be easier to fix and 2. im going into business and medicine and they actually explained why macs were better for it with some real reasons which now i dont even remember lol
