OK, I am new to Mac and I have just had my first Windows like experience (aka desire to chuck the computer through a window).
I have a late 2008 MBP and bought Spore to play. I installed it a few weeks ago and there was a problem with the patch. I went online and found out that the problem was with EA and so I uninstalled the software and let it be. I found out today that EA has come out with a new patch that fixes the problem. I went to reinstall the program and it asked me if I really wanted to install the software as it was already in the Apps folder. I went and looked. No Spore in the Apps folder, so I reinstalled the software (twice). Well the software is still not showing up in the Apps folder.
This is not an attempt to bash OSX but if this was Windows, I would be proficient enough to figure out what to do. I have no idea what needs to be done to find software that seems to be on the hard drive but is not showing up. Even if I can't get the game to work, it is annoying me that the game that I can't see is taking up 4GB of hard drive space.
Does anyone have a suggestion to rectify the problem?
