Update Safari.
This game i an .app file, the new file system that Mac created for its app store launching next month, so make sue everything's updated!
Actually... .app has been around ever since NextSTEP, Mac OS X's ancestor.
What the hell, the game windows is really small and i can't get to make it bigger (mac)
Go under the "settings" menu and turn Full Screen to "On".
And for everybody else who's having problems with the file: delete it and redownload it. Apparently Telltale accidentally uploaded a buggy version to the site originally, but its fixed now.
I had the same exact problem, also with a Mac.
I downloaded the game again, and this time around I got to the "Play" button.
BUT...every time I click on it, the game quits. And with these crashes, there's no
window that pops up about the crash.

Re-download, mine is working. The file I downloaded is called BackToTheFuture101.app.zip.
Just finished playing the episode (Nice!!) and once again I'm left with a shrunk and out of place dock (no, not our beloved Doc... the OsX dock )
Edit addition: I later noticed that it also removed my desktop picture. My background is just plain "Solid Aqua Blue" now.
Maybe Telltale could look into it and release a new version that leaves dock and desktop untouched or at least properly re-sets them on exit. That would be nice. Thanks.
On two Macs, in fact. I've tried on a current-generation MacBook Air with 4GB Ram and a 2009 iMac with a Radeon HD 4850 and 12GB Ram. The game was downloaded separately on each Mac.
On both machines I can launch the application and log in with my Telltale account (it's the standalone version, not Steam), but when I try to play episode 1 the application quits.
dont worry they will put on IPAD ver on early January 2011
but you downloaded the wrong file
MAC/PC version is out now
PS3/IPAD version will be out on Early January 2011
so if you want to wait for IPAD ver then wait for it
I think you bought the wrong version.
To Talltale: it would be good to make the shop more specific about the version you're buying. something like that:
(and it would be also a good idea if it can be clickable, to make appear the languages and minimum requirements before buying)
hi i've just downloaded the first episode of BTTF in the mac version but after having extracted and installed the game it doesn't start, to be precious a page where i can see a list of all the title opens but after having selected the first episode when i push the play button nothing appen.. i did something wrong or is a bug? i heard this appened to other people on the web so here i am to ask you for an explanation
Couple of ruff edges on this diamond, but I'm definately getting the whole serie!
I changed the file name from whateveritwas into BackToTheFuture101 and it started working properly!
Oh and I had the 'inoperative start button'-problem.

...I posted this at the end of the previous mac error thread, but I guess that whole thread got deleted!
So here's the thing. I got the free version of BTTF Ep1, downloaded it on both my macbook pro and my imac and NEITHER will run the game. I double click on the installer icon, the icons on my dock scoot over as though to make room for the BTTF icon --- and then they move back into place and nothing happens. Same thing on both computers.
Snow Leopard on both machines.
Renaming does not help (that is the fix for a different issue with running the game).

Make sure your Snow Leopard is also the most recent version, too.

Once I did that, it worked great.
Get a bigger screen? =O
Go under the "settings" menu and turn Full Screen to "On".

I still got this issue after new download
Did so, and now the program starts but...... WOW!! it has made my Dock a tiny tiny strip in the middle of the screen.
I have made a screenshot of it over this very message while I was writing it: http://img816.imageshack.us/img816/4196/minidock.jpg
Funny and a bit scary at the same time!!!
I Guess I'll post this and then restart.

Put it on full screen and then change the resolution to the maximum.

yes

Apparently, it causes problems that unzipping with Finder does not.
Did I download the wrong file or am I not able to play this game on my iPad at all??
Any help would greatly be appreciated... Thanks in advance...
I dont even think they have the ipad version out.
but you downloaded the wrong file
MAC/PC version is out now
PS3/IPAD version will be out on Early January 2011
so if you want to wait for IPAD ver then wait for it

Please help!
Seconded!!
I actually changed this a while ago. The day before Christmas I think. It should say all five episodes, PC/Mac. Does it not show up on your invoices?
I had the same problem. Just as the game finished, the game froze. An issues with the game or my Mac?
I was considering to buy this game for PS3 if I like the game by playing the first episode in my Mac.
But, since I can't try this game on my mac, neither a trial or demo on PS3. So I won't consider to buy so.
PS: I have some friends that can't Play neither in Windows version, they have the same problem.
Press play but the game doesn't start... please let us know what we can do to play this game

Ditto.
