*MAC USERS* Mavericks Problem
- Thread starter Halcyon
- Start date
I do not suggest using bootcamp (unless this is your only option). I found myself only using Windows for the most part since I would just play MyVMK so much, which seemed counter-intuitive seeing as I had just purchased a Mac computer for school. So I switched to VMware. I am using Windows XP on VMware because it is a very light OS (also very very easy to set up) and it doesn't slow down my computer when I'm only running MyVMK. I can switch back to my Mac OS very quickly and I do not notice any performance differences.
I suggest VMware and Windows XP!!

Hi guys,
For those of you who thought updating to Mavericks would be a great idea, like myself - boy were we wrong!
Turns out we cannot access MyVMK once updated and it is rather difficult to downgrade from Mavericks.
There is currently no solution for this (only to not install Mavericks if you have not already done so).
However, you can use the Windows interface on your MAC and try access the game via Bootcamp. This is located in Apps->Utilities.
Full instructions on how to install/use Bootcamp is located here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1461
I am not guaranteeing perfect gameplay guys but it is currently the only suggestion for Mac Users.
Please let us know if you find a better solution!
*UPDATE*: Other ways of getting on - use the virtualbox or vmware programme to run Windows on your Mac. It works perfectly for me!
[*Thank you to Amy for this advice*]

@Tinkerballa That video really helped but now i'm trying to figure out how to play vmk on VirtualBox..every time i log in the screen is just black..any ideas?
I didn't even think about that! Thank you very much it works now! (: @Tinkerballa
Hi everyone, new to the forums and revamp of the game. Played the original a lot. I know on Mavericks that game wont load (mine goes through loading screen then freezes on logo before loading furniture, dont know if thats normal or not). Because of that I setup up Windows XP in VMWare. Im running Chrome, have installed the full Shockwave file, tried clear cache and cookies, and I still get sent back to re-authenticate after it tries to load furniture. Note that it takes a long time to get to loading furniture screen after logo progress bar loads. Again, dont know what is normal for loading and what isn't. Would appreciate any help, really miss playing VMK 
I am still running Mountain Lion on my Mac and last week it worked for about 5 days after having not worked since May 4th. Two days ago Myvmk stopped logging me in once again on the Mac. I didn't change anything on my Mac. It just stopped logging me in again and takes me to reauthenticate screen. I thought since @Amy recently posted that she has a Mac now that maybe the Mac issues were gone... sadly not in my case. I tried uninstalling shockwave and reinstalling but it did not help. I am using Firefox as the browser to play.
Good luck !!!!! I did a cleanup of history and cookies, uninstall and reinstall shockwave, reboot, and still just get sent to the reauthenticate screen. One day it will randomly sign me in again I suppose. It does get a little frustrating though to have to depend on an 8 year old windows laptop as the only machine that will consistently sign me in and let me play.
