Quick Fix for Magic 2013 for 10.6 Mac Users

Hi all,

The Database Update functionality is broken for Mac 10.6 users due to us upgrading our Xcode compiler -- please accept my sincerest apologies. Apparently there are now some new flags to enable 10.6 support which we had missed (Apple sure makes you jump through hoops to support older versions of their stuff). We have submitted a patch to Apple, but in the meanwhile, for those who want Magic 2013 immediately can follow these steps:

1) Copy the attached file to your Downloads folder. For those using Safari, right-click the file and select "Save Linked File to Downloads".

2) Start Terminal (Command-Space, then type Terminal)

3) Copy and paste the following command into the Terminal window, then execute it

cp ~/Downloads/DBUpdateDatabaseWindow.nib "/Applications/Decked Builder.app/Contents/Resources/DBUpdateDatabaseWindow.nib"

Should it complain about not having permissions, you might need to prepend sudo to the command.

Hope that helps! You should be getting a patch 2.7.7 from Apple (already submitted) hopefully within the next two weeks.

I went through the update for Decked Builder on my Mac OS X 10.6 computer mentioned at your website but still no luck. If I look under Set, I don't see Magic 2013. Did a search for Attended Knight, nothing appears. Any suggestions?

Tried the steps posted and I too do not see the 2013 set in my list.

Not working, weird cause I usually don't have any issues doing these things

Didn't work for me either, are there any other suggestions?

Hi all, hmm... did you try restarting the app after performing those steps? Basically, you will need to replace the file at

/Applications/Decked Builder.app/Contents/Resources

with the attached file. You can do it via the Finder, just use Show Package Contents when viewing the Decked Builder app under Applications.

I have tried replacing the file both ways but it still does not show the 2013 set. Any other ideas?

@Todd Did you try updating your database after replacing the files? Sorry if the instructions weren't clear -- just go to the Decked Builder menu item and click Update Database.

As you suggested I went to the Deck Builder Menu and chose check for updates. This did nothing at all. Still no updates to the sets.

Any chance if you can see anything in your Console log right about when you click Check for Updates and mail it to us at our support email?

I got it!!!! Turns out the console log was key to fixing this. The cp command was resulting in a lowercase filename, instead of DBUpdateDatabaseWindow.nib. Once I corrected that it works perfectly. Guess you can disregard my email.

Glad you got it sorted out... dang Apple sure take their time on their Mac app approvals.

How do I change the file name to include the capital letters? I keep getting told that I am not allowed to.

Alternatively, you can wait for 2.7.7 to be released by Apple, but as you can see from the above screenshot, they sure are taking their time! It's probably due to the flood of apps updating for Mountain Lion.

@MJones If you are getting permission problems, try prepending the command "sudo" in front of the command, i.e.:

sudo cp ~/Downloads/DBUpdateDatabaseWindow.nib "/Applications/Decked Builder.app/Contents/Resources/DBUpdateDatabaseWindow.nib"

Then type in your password.
