So I totally splurged and got my TB HD and max 8gigs ram for my old 2011 MBP, and a little flash drive to harbor OSX10.8.DMG Installing all my old shit, steam wont go, I remember doing this before, I can't remember if it was mountain lion or mavericks but I remember this happening before. Steam extracts, and says its updating, then I drag it to app folder - launching it it appears for .9 second then disappears.
I know its old hardware and I'm using old OS but this answer is out there!

I think its more the os than the hardware... Install something foolproof like mint on it.

Yea I have my linux boxes, most are VM's now days than hardware installs. I'm chomping at the bit with this, over at mac forums they are being idiots 'have you tried reinstalling the app?' or 'upgrade to Yosemite' - FUCK that! Mountain lion was the last stable OS for intel based macs, also cover flow for iTunes.

Well, you just might be shit out of luck then. All you can do is rely on apple or steam to support you, they won't.

Its Apple, and yea, any apple official would say 'WTF is wrong with you, run the latest OS release, of course old OS don't work' there is a fucking problem with them and their die hards, they push new OS on all hardware so that old hardware will work less reliably and you are compelled to come and purchase new hardware. The reality is that this laptop though old is just as powerful as most modern PC's, with proper cleaning and care it will outlast all non apple computers well into the 2020's

That is why you should use an os that doesn't suck, apple doesn't make those. You can still use steam in gnu/linux.

I got work again monday and I still have cakes to birth and dunk/roll. my weekend is full up; I don't have time to build a relyable linux os onto my best computer - this is why I use a mac, it just works (better than a linux/PC anyway) once tuned in, where as linux needs completely engineered into the machine like installing a hybrid electric drive-train into a model T car.

Isn't this thread about how it isn't working? Well, there are plenty of distros that are dead easy to install with all the hard decisions made for the user.

No. This thread is me asking if anyone knows what setting I have forgotten to set/how to make some applications like steam and VLC work in my OS X 10.8.x
Its an easy one for someone who knows. pirated standalone half-life 2/Ep.1/Ep.2/portal work flawlessly by the way.
