Mac client doesn't work

Recommended Posts

The provided mac client linked on the website (The torrent with the file WoW_1.12.1_Mac.zip) doesn't work. 

 

It just says "The application 'WoW Classic.App' can't be opened".

 

I know you guys don't do tech support for WoW or anything, but clearly this is a big issue. I doubt my mac is the problem. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I'm currently downloading a separate Mac 1.12.1 from another torrent in hopes that one will work

For some reason, the WoW Classic internal package app doesn't have the rights to execute.  In Terminal, browse to your root WoW Classic folder and run:

 

chmod +x "Wow Classic".app/Contents/MacOS/*

Hey there, I'm new to all of this as I normally run stock apple apps. 

How exactly can I do this?

I don't seem to find how to edit the folder in terminal

Hmm, if you don't know your way around Terminal, I think the easiest way would be:

 

1) Enable "New Terminal at Folder" by going to Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Services -> Scroll to 'Files and Folders' and check 'New Terminal at Folder'; This will let you launch terminal straight into any folder in Finder.

 

2) Now go back to Finder and browse to where you have the WoW Classic unzipped; mine was in Downloads.  Now right (two finger) click on the main WoW Classic folder and from the menu go to Services -> "New Terminal at Folder"; this will launch terminal already in the folder you want.

 

3) Now run the command I list above: chmod +x "Wow Classic".app/Contents/MacOS/*

If it's done right, you'll get no error and act like you just hit enter.  But if you open the WoW Classic icon, it should now run.

 

UPDATE: I just entered the world for the first time, woot!

Weird, I did this exact same thing and it still isn't working. Could it be because i'm on Sierra?

We fixed the problem. Download the windows client and copy your wow.app into the windows folder. Run it from there. Enjoy!

 

Here link to my thread!

PS: Some mod please sticky a thread where the problem is solved or work it into your q&a.
