Can't Download Roblox On Mac

You are not alone because it is one of the most common problems encountered by Mac users whether it’s downloading or installing updates, apps, or files. There are also cases when the notification says the app or file has been downloaded but you just can’t find where it is, or when the installation process just quits all of a sudden even when you have a strong internet connection.

Roblox Not Downloading On Mac

After these preparations, log out of the App Store and then log back in. Then, follow these steps to solve your App Store download problems:

  1. Go to Spotlight and type in Terminal.
  2. Type in the following command: defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -boot true ; killall AppStore ; exit.
  3. Open App Store and sign out of it by going to Store > Sign Out.
  4. Then go to Debug Menu.
  5. Select Clear Cookies and Reset Application.
  6. Next, type the following commands in the Terminal one at a time. These commands will reset the plists:
    • rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
    • rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
    • rm ~/Library/Cookies/com.apple.appstore.plist
  7. Then type in: open $TMPDIR../C/com.apple.appstore/. This opens your Mac App Store’s temporary download cache folder.
  8. Delete these files:
    • apple.appstore.plist
    • apple.installer.plist
  9. Or you can type in the following commands to delete these cached files:
    • rm -r ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
    • rm -r ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.storeagent
  10. Close the folder and restart your Mac.
  11. Then, try re-downloading your files that were causing problems before.

If this doesn’t solve the problem and your Mac App Store won’t download anything, the next solution is re-indexing. Your Mac uses Spotlight to determine what apps you have installed. And perhaps, due to a bug or a corrupted file, your operating system thinks that the app you are trying to download is already in your system which is why it is not letting you download it again.

To re-index your applications, follow these steps.

  1. Go the Apple Menu and go to System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy tab. This opens the Spotlight preferences pane.
  2. Add your primary HD (the default name is Macintosh HD) by clicking the + and selecting your HD. This will stop your OS X from indexing that particular drive.
  3. Close the System Preferences window.
  4. Click the Apple Logo and choose Log Out.
  5. Log back in and navigate back to the Spotlight preferences window.
  6. Click the – button and select your HD.
  7. Close the System Preferences window.

The system will begin re-indexing everything in your HD. If you see a dot in the center of the magnifying glass, which can be found at the top right of the menu bar, then that means the re-indexing is ongoing.

Open the App Store to re-download the app or update what you were downloading previously.

If you’re running into errors and your system is suspiciously slow, your computer needs some maintenance work. Download Outbyte PC Repair for Windows, Outbyte Antivirus for Windows, or Outbyte MacRepair for macOS to resolve common computer performance issues. Fix computer troubles by downloading the compatible tool for your device.

ROBLOX puts great effort into developing unified code that runs across multiple platforms — PC, Mac and soon iPad — on a wide variety of hardware and software configurations. This summer, as we ratcheted up development efforts for ROBLOX on mobile devices and tablets, we found the software we use to compile our code was only compatible with either Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) or mobile devices. We were faced with a tough decision: maintain a separate code base for OS X 10.5 or discontinue support for it.

In the interest of unified code, fast updates and future expansion to more platforms, we have opted to discontinue support for OS X 10.5. The change will take effect in the next two weeks.

OS X 10.5 users will still be able to browse Roblox.com and participate in all web-based features. Our analytics show less than 1% of ROBLOX players use OS X 10.5. If this change affects you and you’d like to continue playing and building games, we recommend you update your Mac’s operating system to at least OS X 10.6.

We want to make sure all ROBLOX users on OS X 10.5 have the option of continuing to play and build. We’ve contacted Apple, and the easiest update path is to call and purchase the latest operating system update on physical media. They will also be able to tell you whether your system can handle a more recent version of OS X.

Q. Why is ROBLOX discontinuing support for Mac OS X 10.5?

Can't Download Roblox On Macbook

A. We would have to maintain a separate code base for Mac OS X 10.5 because the software we use to compile code for OS X 10.5 is not compatible with that of mobile devices. At this time, we are prioritizing a unified code base and development of ROBLOX for mobile devices.

It’s worth noting that Apple no longer supports OS X 10.5, nor do many common desktop applications, like Chrome and Firefox.

Q: I have a Mac. How can I tell if I’m running Mac OS X 10.5?

Can T Download Roblox On Kindle

A: Go to the Apple Menu, then click About this Mac. If it says less than “Version 10.6”, you will need to upgrade to keep playing and building in ROBLOX.

Q. How can I update my Mac to keep playing ROBLOX?

A. You can call Apple direct at 1 800 MY APPLE to purchase an OS X update, delivered via physical media. They will tell you whether your system can handle the latest Mac operating system, OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.

Q. Can I still browse Roblox.com on Mac OS X 10.5?

A. Yes. You can continue to browse the website and participate in all our social and economy features.

Q. Who should I contact with questions?

A. If you have any problems to report, please email info@roblox.com.
