How can I get spore to work on my mac?
Mega-Bear:
I had the same problem with Spore for two years before I could play it stably. In the end it didn't work for me until I got a new computer, I hope it doesn't turn out like that for you.
Anyway, best of luck in getting it to work. I went through the same thing but it ended up being all the more fun after trying for so long to get it to work.
Placid:
ACTUALLY! OP, try this.

google helps. it's a file that for some reason (no loving clue why) crashes it.
good luck.
BlockoCrafter:
If you have OS Lion, you should know that it doesn't support PowerPC. If this game runs on it, then you're screwed.

I got it working. Google ftw.
I wasn't supposed to download all the updates at the same time.
Corbiere:
Updates break everything. I'm still on the version you get when you install the game for the first time because of weird graphical glitches and freezes.
