Blackra1n won't run on my Macbook OS X

[kevneerg]

Hi,

Downloaded Blackra1n from Geohot's website and tried to run it on my Macbook. I double clicked the app, but nothing happens. Re-downloaded the file 5 different times and still no luck. The app just doesn't run.

Anyone else experience this? The OS on the macbook is clean. I don't have anything other than the usual applications (office, firefox etc.) installed.

I eventually ran Blackra1n in Windows on my desktop and the jailbreak completed with no issues.

I would like to get Blackra1n to run on my macbook since it runs much faster then my desktop...more convenient since its a tethered jb.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

What kind of Macbook do you have (PPC or Intel), and what version of OS X do you have?

I have an intel macbook. bought June 09 and it runs snow leopard..10.6.2

any insight would be appreciated. thanks again.

Run it on another computer.

You could try repairing permissions. In my experience that can sometimes help when apps close on launch. I've had it happen with Word once.

Make sure you are running it from the desktop.

Same problem here, I found the solution, I was using keka to unzip blackra1n.zip and guess what, keka killed my blackra1n.app; just use default mac os unarchiver to unzip it, it will work like a charm 😉.
