Why can't i see my previously installed games on STEAM for Mac??

[dsprimal]

Hey all, i had steam for windows like 5 years ago. i've been playing counter strike source and half life 2. and i know that if you were to log onto your steam account from a different computer, you should see the games you had purchased/installed on that steam account.

But after installing steam for mac os x, i can't find "my games" section or whatever to view my prior installed games on my account.....or is it that since its mac os x steam, all the games i had before are now gone and i have to repurchase them???? if im wrong and im not looking properly, please do help!

any thoughts will help, thanks!

you need to go to library and then click on games

just stumbled across that after a little fiddling around. installing half life 2 as we speak! thanks!! too bad counter strike source comes up witha steam error saying it can't install at this time or too many users and to try back in a "few minutes" or w.e

anyone else has this issue?

I have a Steam question...

If I have Steam installed on both the Mac & Windows side (with bootcamp, etc.), and I install any particular game on both sides (I just want to see if the mac version is inferior), can I uninstall the mac-side-game without deleting it from my Windows library?

Yes you can.T the two partitions are completely separate. You can treat each OS like a completely separate computer.

Thanks...I see now that you can right click on the game and select "remove local content".

Did Steam ever sort out their issues with Apple & 10.6.4?

Yes - it happens when they have too many issues. Hence them saying "Can't install because of too many users". Just wait a bit, or keep trying.
