    Default Boxee media manager not supported on this type of Mac?

    Not sure why I get this message but I can't open the media manager app on my black Macbook. The machine is a Core Duo 2Ghz and it's running 10.6.8.

    Any ideas?

    So I guess this means the media manager is only for 64-bit macs... DAMN! My mac is about 3 years old now ... this sucks.

    Default mac mini

    Has anyone tried VMware. I hate to bog down my already slow mac mini, but will try vmware if it works.

    Default Same issue on a MacMini 1,1

    Don't run either. But if the App is straight forward 64 bit, it was the right decision and I can live with that.

    Default Same Mac Mini, same problem

    Just downloaded all the software and now media manger won't run. Is there no hope or answers for us. Is it the 64 bit thing alone? I can run Boxee but not the media manger?

    Just had this from support:-

    Sorry but the Boxee Media Manager requires a 64bit system, meaning it most likely won't work on older computers. Please check the support of your CPU.
    We may add a new version in the future that will support it.
    So at least there's hope for a future version

    Seems a shame that BMM doesn't support (ahem) 'mature' Macs; beneath the TV is a great place to retire hardware that's no longer cutting-edge, but not quite obsolete either.

    C'mon guys, do your bit for recycling
