  • Installing Sapphire Browser in Leopard

    Sapphire will now run on any (Intel or PPC) Mac running Leopard.

    1. First make sure you have Front Row installed - Pretty sure it is by default.

    2. Download Sapphire & Unzip to your desktop.

    3. If you are replacing an older version of Sapphire you will first need to remove the old copy. Using the terminal* type: “sudo rm -r /System/Library/CoreServices/Front\ Row.app/Contents/PlugIns/Sapphire.frappliance”

    4. Place Sapphire.frappliance in: “/System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app/Contents/PlugIns/”. Using the terminal* type: “sudo mv ~/Desktop/Sapphire.frappliance /System/Library/CoreServices/Front\ Row.app/Contents/PlugIns/”

    5. You will need to Authenticate to copy into this directory.

    6. Once copied into the directory you will need to make sure Front Row isn’t already running.Using the terminal* type: “kill $(ps ax | grep [F]ront | awk ‘{print $1}’)”

    7. Open Front Row using the “MENU” button on your Apple remote or double-click the Front Row application in your “Applications” menu. Also the keyboard sequence cmd-esc (Command-Escape) will automatically bring up frontrow.Enjoy!

    * To open a terminal window type “Terminal” into spotlight - it will be the top hit.
