Looks like I can't get phex + I'm sad
 

When l click on phex for OS X, the cursor turns from an arrow into a vertical line, indicating that it's not possible for me to download the fox. Really want it- HELP?
:(. Of course am using a Mac running Leopard, OS X.

Arne, is there any way?

There is already a thread dealing about your download problems... no need to open a new one...

Try to download directly using sourceforge:
SourceForge.net: Files

Try selecting a different mirror in case the auto selected mirror fails.

Try using a different browser. Make sure you have no security configuration or software preventing you from downloading. I can assure you there is nothing wrong with the download. Try using a friends computer for the download if everything else fails..

Thanks, Gregor!
 

Will try your link- can't use another machine- l'm older and have some health issues which prevent going out. The ccomputer has been used by 2 people before me. l hope that isn't the problem. l'm getting a new one (l hope) later this year though...l just heard of you, from a friend, today! :o

Sorry about the duplicate new thread, didn't read enough. I d/led phex, all thanks to tou, now she's on my desktop-how to get her into applications? Sorry, I'm a 60 yr. old newbie, not only at phex, but at computers- but l learn fast. Thank you for your last reply and your help!

Just double click it to start it - if you want it in applications, just drag and drop it there with the mouse.

Happy sharing!

Thank you, Arne!
 

You make simple,clear explanations, which are very appreciated by the newbie AND I have been reading the wiki and other technical info- and I see much how you, the developers, and guiding spirits have done.

In Finder, choose Go menu & select Applications. Drag & drop Phex program or Phex folder into the Applications folder.

VERY sorry to say this
 

Phex, sadly, hasn't worked for me. l read all of Arne's introductions and tried to start bu never got any files. lnsead, phex took over my computer and wouldn't respond, my cursor turned into a spinning ball + when l tried restart, phex caceled it, so tried to to force-quit it STILL wouldn't respond, so in duress, l pressed 'power' for about 2 minutes- and when the computer didn't shut down and phex still had control, l called a few technicians, one after another. Finally, l severed connection to the Internet and THEN was able to restart. Out of respect and gratitude for all the kindness you and Arne have given me, l didn't post this in the forum, but in a PM to you...WHAT happened? Needless to say,phex is not in my future plans. Macs dont do this, supposedly, and this one has always been fine.

:laugh_2:

Ouch...

I'm sorry that Phex froze your Mac!

There's been a bug which causes freezing on very few configurations (I only knew it from Windows) for a long time, but I never managed to track it down :(

Having to disconnect the Internet suggests that it somehow gets in conflict with some routers or such.

Could you post your type of router - how do you connect to the Internet?

Besides: These forums are intended to offer help, so please just post problems (in constructive language), then others can find your post when they might have the same problems (and we can add "(fixed)" to the topic, when the problem's solved - something I should have done all along...).
