Minecraft problem

SuperCrofty · 12 Mar 2011 at 22:31

Hi there people. Recently, I tryed accessing the original minecraft in browser on a macbook and accidentally declined the option to enable the plug-in. Every time I now open the window it says to enable the applet yet it never appears. Does anyone have any idea on how to re-open the applet? Or if original minecraft is even compatible with a macbook?

Which browser? Safari?

Clearing cache etc should give you the option.

Sorry I am a tech nub but what is the 'cache'? And this is a family computer so is that like the history or search terms?

If you can't work out a solution quickly you could just install Firefox or something...

It's a store of sites you've visited that's used to speed up browsing. For Safari, the empty cache option is in the main menu (the one with file, edit, view, etc.) under Safari.

Clearing cache and history didn't work. As previously said I may have to install firefox or Google Chrome :/

It takes less than a minute to do that. Why not just try it?

Its more my Dad won't let me as he said
"I don't want unnecessary programs on my mac!"
And in this case installing a new browser just to play one game is a bit much...

try pressing alt-f4, a few times really quickly and then hitting enter without looking at your screen. Usually works for me

Not really, they're not exactly massive programs and i find both Chrome and Firefox superior to Safari so if anything you'd be doing your dad a favour

what plug-in did you decline? was it Java,

Do you have a firewall? cause normally you set manual trusted sites and app?

Edit : sorry read post about the app being safari, but check firewall for trusted apps and sites.

Well here is the problem as my Dad actually prefers Safari and he thinks it is a superior browser. Personally I do prefer using Chrome although, I have repeatedly asked my Dad if I could install either. No way of convincing him I'm afraid

Being a user of all browsers I do believe that Chrome is best but I may just have to stick without Minecraft thanks to my Fathers stubbornness :'( Buying it soon anyway
