Mac .dmg File Not Working? Solution Here!
If you had trouble getting JP to mount on your Mac- I have a foolproof workaround!
PROBLEM: The JP .dmg file downloads perfectly fine on your computer, but when you click it, nothing happens.
SOLUTION: This is a mounting problem.
1. Control-click (or right click with two-button mouse) the .dmg file.
2. Go to "Open With" and choose Disk Utility
3. This will open the Disk Utility. MAKE SURE "JurassicPark100_Setup.dmg" is the file selected.
REPEATING. MAKE SURE "JurassicPark100_Setup.dmg" IS THE FILE SELECTED.
4. Hit the Convert button. It's on the top of the toolbar in the Disk Utility window.
5. Change the image format to "read only", choose a destination (I picked the Desktop), and hit "Save".
6. Click the new .dmg file you have created. JP will now mount, and you can drag the JP folder onto your computer as normal.
This fixed it for me, and JP is running great. Good luck!

Thanks.
EDIT: I am running 10.6.8. I always forget that Lion is 10.7, my apologies.

Also to note, the application itself is missing an image, it just shows the generic mac application icon. Perhaps there is a problem with the download on the Telltale site itself? Corrupt or something?
Edit: Even though you're getting it to mount, try reformatting the JP .dmg as I explained. I don't think it has the correct format.

Hopefully I can sort this out, rather looking forward to playing it.
Found your problem right away.
Did you read the JP system requirements? It needs X.6 (Snow Leopard) or higher to run. You're on X.5. Sorry. You'll want to upgrade to Snow Leopard.
Oh well will have to have a look around. Thanks anyways everyone.
Disk Utility does not help to mount it, and the image could not be converted. Quite annoyed because I have a monthly download cap so this is costing me far more than it should. Can anyone help?
On step 5, how do I change the image format?
Oops, I feel so dumb.
About step 5, I've tried saving it on my Desktop and my Hard Drive but it says "Cannot allocate memory", when I know for a fact that I have enough memory! What's going on?!???????
