Cube Timers For Mac's... ????

[PuzzleProfessor]

Hi,
I have a Mac computer and I have searched around but cant seem to find any cubetimers for macs (not online ones like cubetimer.com)

So Basically what I'm asking is:

Does anyone know of any cube timers (to download) that work on macs (free software)?

Also if you do where to get it from?

Thanks :confused:

I downloaded JNetCube and its a ZIP File. It said its not able to expand it :S What shall I do now?

As for getting JNetCube and CCT to work on mac there are lots of threads on this here and they all boils down to: "Use OSX 10.5 and keep it updated with the latest java"

Only thing a bit uncertain is if it is possible to get CCT to run on a PPC mac.

Double click on the zip file works fine on my Mac. And i assume it works on every Mac (unless you've done something dumb).

Well you asked about how to unzip a file. That is in my book basic computer stuff, hey even updating java is basic computer stuff.

unable to unarchive jnetcube.zip into "Desktop" (Error 1 Operation not permitted)

On a Mac you actually don't need a book for unzipping a file .

If you get that error then usually there is something wrong with the file. It could be a broken download or something like that. Sorry for sounding rude, it's just that we get a lot of questions from people that don't even try first. Good luck.

Its ok, I have been trying, I wouldnt of asked if i hadnt tried

Dude seriously just unzip the file and double click on the .jar file.

I use Windows and on Windows you need to first install JRE but then on Mac I think you dont even need to do that. I have been using Jnet for sometime and it is brilliant

JNET works fine for me.

 

[PuzzleProfessor]

I re-downloaded JNet and it worked!

It actually took me a while to get CCT to work on my Mac.

The thing that worked for me was going to "Java Preferences" (Spotlight it) and dragging "Java SE 6" to the top of the application versions.
