Now really isn't the time dude... I'm desperately trying to get the simulator. I've tried everything, even searching for other sources, nothing. Can only get it from BlackBerry, so I sign in like they ask me to when I try to download the simulator, then it enters a refresh cycle without anything about a download, I just CANNOT seem to get it despite what I try, and I need it as I say, so I can TEST the application... I'm after a free PlayBook, but if cant even get the simulator, why would I try to develop anything else for them? If I don't have my app submitted by March 31st because of this, then they've lost a developer...
If you go there it will list everything you need in a nice chart depending if you're on a Windows, Mac, or Linux based computer. Good luck and let me know if you need anymore help. I'm no developer but have gotten everything running properly and would love to help.
Urban, used FireFox, Opera, and Safari on Mac... no access to a Windows machine, and can't use IE for Mac as Microsoft pulled the plug on that 8 years ago.

I see. The next thing I would say is make sure if you have a popup blocker on your browser, that you allow popups on that page. That is what will happen when you click the links to download.
Pop-ups have been set to allow as well, in all 3 browsers. Pop-up appeared, closed itself randomly (with nothing at my end telling it to close pop-ups), and then the main page refreshed itself. Could you possibly try and get the Mac version yourself? If you can download the ZIP file, then I'll pass on my email for you to somehow get the file to me.
There are tutorials on how it's done. Good luck! I expect to be using some great apps from you in a month!
I only have a simple number guessing game right now. Going to start some BlackBerry smartphone app development over the summer mind, when I get 5 months off uni. Provided I can submit this PB app before March 31st.
Best thread I've seen in a while. Just BB lover helping BB lover. Great work guys. If I had any clue on Macs or SDKs, I'd have helped out myself.
Same! I have a Win7 PC and downloaded the Mac one and it let me but there was no Mac around for me to try it out :P Is this the first PlayBook thread this year with no controversy? WOOT
There was a little controversy there dsquared, I use a Jesus Laptop (aka MacBook) (just was much more subtle)
Also, I've figured out what I'm doing. I just need a CD to burn the ISO to load the PB Simulator to my VirtualBox...
Hahaha no controversy. I never say the brand of anything i have unless i have too. I say my car, my phone, my laptop, my boat, my tablet (soon!), etc instead of my BMW, my BlackBerry, my Studio17, my Chaparral, my PlayBook; that way no one pounces on you haha.
But here you had no choice because it was a MacBook related issue with PlayBook's software :P
You need the VMWare player software to load the iso into.
He's right. I'm sorry I meant VMWare player. It will look something like this when loading the iso for a new Virtual Machine (Playbook simulator in this case)
Using VirtualBox here, and I was able to load the BlackBerry SDK into that as well. It's all looking good, will need to fathom how to load an application into it for testing though.
