Why won't Sleepyhead run on my Mac?

Post by Simbot » Thu Aug 16, 2012 11:03 am

I installed it on my daughters MacBook Pro and it runs fine. But on my Mac desktop, don't know the model name (about 4 years old, white shell, 2 Ghz Intel Core Duo CPU, 2GB RAM, running OS 10.6. it gives me an error

"You can't open the application Sleepyhead because it is not supported on this type of Mac".

I can't find any information about what type of Mac platform, or OS version is required to run it, anyone know where to find this information?

Thanks

I wanted to give your post a bump up so hopefully you can get some help with this. I'm running SH on my Mac desktop, 10.6.8 but my computer is a little newer than yours. Is your daughter's MacBook Pro also newer? My desktop is a 3.6 Ghz Intel Core i5, with 4GB RAM.

I can't find online a list of the minimum system requirements for SH, but I wonder if your desktop has enough RAM, or fast enough processor. Others here may know how to find out from the SH developer, Jedi Mark.

I doubt it is a problem with OS version ... I have an old G5 iMac (pre intel!) running Leapord ... (newest software it will run!) With 1GB ram ...
