Hi Bryce Fans
As you know Mac users are having a lot of trouble with OSX Lion and Mountain Lion when it comes to using Bryce as quite simply it won't work and OSX Lion and Mountain Lion are rubbish as these operating systems are slow and sporadic. I have spoken to someone who tells me it is possible to Downgrade to Snowleopard this works only however on if your mac had Snowleopard in the first place. Simply Restart the Computer(Make sure you back up Everything.) then when it restarts hold down the alt key with the snow leopard disk that came with your mac in the mac and reinstall snow leopard you would need to back up everything but it should work and then if you feel you still need mountain Lion or Lion make a new partition on your hard drive and install it on the partition. I woulld suggest you check out videos on how to do so if you are unsure(I am never upgrading as I believe the Upgrade is an obselete version of snowleopard even though they are upgrades.)
I hope this helps you Check out Youtube for downgrading to snowleopard if you are unsure.
Cheers
Karl

The Mac OS is extremely flexible in being able to boot from external HDDs with older versions of the OS installed on them. It really is a simple matter to buy a USB HDD to dedicate to being used for Bryce, install the Snow Leopard OS onto it, then add in Bryce and other apps. To use Bryce, just reboot via the new HDD as startup disk. No need to trash your current OS used for everything else. I have several older versions of the Mac OS around for various legacy apps, all on ext HDDs. If you no longer have Snow Leopard, there are people about with the OS disks for sale on sites such as eBay.
If Apple were nice, they would have all their legacy OS software available as a free download, not sure if they do however.

Hi MalenySteve
Apple be nice no way they are a business and in a Big business nobody is nice. They are very clever but The Newer versions I have severe Doubts about Lion was **** and Mountain Lion was also **** I am afraid they have lost there appeal even the new iphone isn't the top smart phone anymore I personally Think they lost the vision from the there true leader The late Steve Jobs he was a Genius and Quite Possibly the Charles Babbage of our time he was a great man. I have helped a friend downgroade from Mountain lion Back to snowleopard for other reasons (He himself is the Best Computer Guy I know he wrote an operating system in Binary.) I think it is a shame that Apple isn't doing so well because I always loved them but this one has had a lot of hard drive problems there are a lot of improvements needed to make it worth buying a new mac ever again(I was a Huge fan of them years ago I hate Microsoft because they all die within 3 years). I hope one day they will recover. Thanks for the info
