    You could always play on a virtual machine until the Mac client is fixed. Don't know how safe it is, but you could look into it. I've been doing it for a a week now with no problem.

    I'm not entirely sure about ipods or iphones. I'm currently running a Mac which has parallels and it's running Windows 10. You could also use Vmware, which is cheaper, or Virtual Box. Virtual Box is free also. I'm not sure how good Virtual box handles games though.

    Ok so if they haven't had the time to start working on a mac client, why can't they just put up the old mac client for us to use? At least until they start working on one because i know a lot of us, myself include, don't have the resources or money to pay for virtual machines and such. So would it be a problem if we used the previous version of RuneMate?

    Because the admin team would then need to manage two Runemate clients with every update and change that Jagex make. They do not have the time or resources to do this.

    Just be patient - either use a VM or Bootcamp, or wait.

    As I've stated above, Virtual box is free. Windows 10 is free, at least it was, and Linux is free! Linux is my preferred choice anyways. So you don't have to spend anything.

    Probably because majority are window users, just a shot in the dark though. Suck for us, but there are war around it if you're really eager:)

    It originally was but some unexpected issues arose that was preventing an even larger percentage of users than mac users from using the client. Most of them have been worked out but there's a couple more in the way.
