Hi, I've just bought a macbook and everytime i download the patch I can't install the patch, it says i have to specify a location for the file to go but then it won't let me put the file anywhere! i was wondering if anyone could give me a step by step guide to sorting this out! i'm not very good at it :-( thanks in advance!

Did you install the Fm2008 from the disk?

You need a full installation before you can patch the game.

yep i installed it from the disk and once i download the file it opens another folder whch is called fm2008 v8.01 patch.pkg and it doesnt let me do anything with it! its doing my head in

Just rename the file by replacing .pkb with .dmg

and doule click on it.

its says not recognised wen i just did that, the original file i downloaded was called fm2008_v8.0.1_patch.dmg and when i double click that thats when it opens the sub folder with that file that ends in .pkg like i mentioned above. you got any more ideas? i've tried downloading it 5 or 6 times now

What OS do you use? Tiger or Leopard?

Midna

tiger, once i've had a look in the contents of this file what do i do next? on the pc version it normally self installs, i think its gonna take me a while to adjust to the world of mac!

No, no no, don't change the PKG. LOL.

Let's start again.

You installed from the CD. Go to your applications folder. Is the FM application in there? Should be in a sports interactive folder.

If so, open the downloaded DMG. It will have a PKG file in there. Double click it.

It will then ask you to put in your password etc. Choose to install in the FM folder in your applications.

Does it let you do that? If not, we can go from there.

It's the same on the mac, double click it's all what you have to do.

Probably the downloaded file is corrupted and you have to download it again.
