Windows for mac 10.5.8. About the Mac OS X v10.6.8 Update The Mac OS X v10.6.8 Update is recommended for all users running Mac OS X Snow Leopard and includes general operating system fixes that enhance the stability, compatibility, and security of your Mac. Gimp for mac. Originally posted by:Download v10.7.5(Lion) and Steam will run or herePlease don't post illegal download links. AFAIK [www.apple.com], so an upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion should still work using the Mac App Store installation method from inside a running Snow Leopard. Also, there are two possible ways to get around this on Snow Leopard: • use a backed up copy of a previous release of the Steam client • install a newer libc++ on Snow Leopard Both approaches to 'fix' this (more correct: work around the issue) are described here in the Steam Mac forum in specific posts. (I found them because I have the same problem.) So, if you have a backup of a previous working version of Steam, use this one. To prevent it from updating to the newest client (which obviously won't work anymore on Snow Leopard) you have to add a configuration file ().

At 1st, I put it in ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/ but that didn't work. So I copied it into the Steam Application by right-click Steam -> Show Package Contents -> open Contents -> open MacOS -> put the file in there. I have the file in both places now, but I'm pretty sure it only needs to be in that last one. Now it doesn't update the Steam app, but games still update. If you don't have a backup or want to have the newest client anyhow, you need to compile the missing newer version of libc++. This is a bit of work and you need to get some developer tools first: Xcode and MacPorts. On how to accomplish this should you be interested in this solution. I would, however, make regular backups as the Steam client remains officially incompatible with Snow Leopard, so it may stop working again with a newer version of the client. In which case you will be happy to have saved that last working backup.
