the help panel is empty.
Doesn't look like we get a functioning version of internet explorer (or if we do, it doesn't work out of the box with the setup we have done in this thread.)

Fix IE and you'll get the help panel. You'll also notice that if you save a chart, it will try to open the chart in IE but the window will be completely blank.

I have just followed your instructions to install MT4 on my MacBook Pro. It runs perfectly. I am uk based and use Alpari. I downloaded the MT4 install from the MT4 website. Then switched out the server files. I am now very happy and can finally give one of my family the old Dell laptop.

Thanks Rooicol.

Have had to buy a new MacBook, followed instructions here (Thanks, Rooicol) and think MT4's running OK as far as I can see.

Is there anywhere I can find out how to fix IE, please? Alternatively, is there anywhere else I can access the info from the Help files that you know of? Thanks

Unfortunately not, I bought CrossOver and run MT4 there.
Hi Kennard,

I now run Snow Leopard on a new MacBook and have installed MT4 following instructions here. I've also downloaded Crossover and tried MT4 there.

In both cases I am unable to access MT4's 'Help' facility, etc. Are you able to manage it with your installation, please?

Hi,
I tried to open it today for the first time as I didnt need it before.

Everything can be opened except "help topics". Actualy, it can be opened too but when I try to open other links like "getting started" etc its not working.

Hope this helps to answer your question.

Thanks, Kennard. Was wondering what you'd find.

Apart from that, it seems to be working but the main problem I have at present is I can't see how to download and install pre-written EAs.

If you could please point me in the right direction it would be appreciated, thanks.

Sorry to be of no more help, but I'm guessing it's more than likely impossible without a functioning internet explorer.

Hey guys,

I have been using MT4 via cross over for MAC but the thing is, it is quite useless without my own customized indicators. So how do we add our indicators into MT4 using the cross over software?

I run mt4 via wine/winebottler on my macbook pro with an external monitor.

MT4 displays on the external monitor and runs fine. when i unplug my monitor, mt4 moves to the laptop screen, no problem there. the problem arises when i restart mt4 or restart my laptop. upon the next start of mt4, nothing is displayed on my laptop screen. mt4 is running for sure, i hear the chime when it connects to my account and a ps -ef in the terminal shows the proces is running, yet there's nothing to be seen and the only way i can get it back is to connect back...
I have experienced this and it is highly frustrating. However, thanks to this bit of info I see there is a simple solution to this problem (and it works, I just tried it).

When your machine opens up a window on the invisible monitor, make sure that it's still selected. Now you can use the alt+space bar shortcut to bring up a positioning menu. Even though the window is on the invisible screen, the positioning window should pop up on the edge of your current display.

Select the 'Move' option. At this point it is very *important* to use your keyboard arrows to move the window; the mouse won't work. But once you lock on to the window (by...

Did anyone find a solution to the issue of the debugger error message - "a debugger has been found running on your system" - when using wine bottler? I'm really not interested in buying cross over just to get mt4 running native when I can use a virtual machine. It's really just a convenience factor.

Thanks

Maybe try using crossover demo version to install MT4, then use wine to run it...?

1) Go to your utilities folder (/applications/utilities) and check that X11.app is present, if not install this first using the Mac os install discs that came with your mac

2) Go to software update and check your mac is fully up to date.

3) Go to: http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/ and download wine bottler.

4) Open the downloaded disc image and drag Wine.app and WineBottler.app to your applications folder.

5) run Wine.app, go to Preferences>Check for updates, install updates and relaunch.

6) run WineBottler.app, go to Preferences>Update>check...
