i've been tryin for thee last hr, & man' o man, it still not showin up on the MPC. ( Faackin frustrating )
so i download it to my desktop, connect the MP by USB, put the mpc2500_xl125.osx file on the 2500 icon,
eject the mounted disk on the Mac, & still nothin
whut am i doin wrong

U need to put it on a cf card and then install from there

Yo fam, I am a mac user also. Had the same problem at first, but read the JJ site instructions for mac users. When the crazy JJ code text comes up, Save it on your hardrive or wherever you are saving it. Then you have to manually change the file name. For example

Save as mpc1000_xl127.os2.txt

Then rename the file manually by Option Clicking if you have a single clickin mouse. After you rename the file it should ask you do you want to Keep .txt or use os2 file name. Click use os2

After saving it should look like mpc1000_x127.os2

This should now be ready to install on the MPC via cf card or however you usually do it.

Lemme know how it goes bro.

I have no problem downloading and updating on mac.

On the regular dl page (not the mac one)

Option + click
Gets downloaded to the downloads folder

(Snow Lep and Safari)

i think i got it....... BUT, it seems to still not show ( why do MAC's do this with there downloads )
imma not a quitter, so imma just keep on tryin til i get the new update
Thanks to all me fella forum helpers... Much appreciated

When you control+click, there should be a "download linked file" option.


If you are looking for place to place it, before you go JJ go to Safari prefs then on the first tab (General) locate Saved downloaded files in and place your preferred file (I use the Download folder" in my Finder) and you will alway DL to that folder. Also... place that DL folder in your Finder's side bar.



Hope this helps.

Just hold down the "alt" button and click the link. the problem is the code, not the mac
