Installing Sapphire Browser in Leopard
Sapphire will now run on any (Intel or PPC) Mac running Leopard.
- First make sure you have Front Row installed – Pretty sure it is by default.
- Download Sapphire & Unzip to your desktop.
- 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”
- OR Open /System/Library/CoreServices/ and select Front Row.app. Right-click (or control-click) on it and select Show Package Contents. Navigate to Contents/Plugins and move Sapphire.frappliance to the trash
- 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/”
- OR Open /System/Library/CoreServices/ and select Front Row.app. Right-click (or control-click) on it and select Show Package Contents. Navigate to Contents/Plugins and move Sapphire.frappliance into here.
- You will need to Authenticate to copy into this directory.
- 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}’)”
- OR Enter Front Row, wait a few seconds after it shows up, and hit Command-Option-Escape.
- 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.
