Some people trying to install Mind Reading from the CDs onto an Apple Mac have reported problems. After installing the files Mind Reading hangs at the first screen and the only way to quit it is to use File/Force Quit. This appears to be an issue with the file permissions settings. The solution is fairly straight forward if you follow the instructions below. As far as our investigation goes, it only seems to affect people using OS X 10.3.

CD-ROM permissions correction instructions (OS X)

1. These instructions presume you have already installed Mind Reading according to the instructions in the accompanying manual. If you have not installed Mind Reading please refer to your installation manual. Once you have copied Mind Reading correctly onto your machine, please follow the instructions below.
2. Open the Mind Reading Folder (i.e. the one which contains the OS X versions of the program). You should have a folder called Apps in it.
   
   
3. Click on it once and select Get Info from the File Menu (Apple i).
   
   .
4. If the Ownership and Permissions are set "Read only" as below, you need to change them.
   
   
   
5. The permissions should be set as per the image below. You should only need to change the top one ("You can") and the other will update. Leave the bottom two on Read Only. Once you have set these to be correct, simply click on "Apply to enclosed items".
   
   
6. Say OK to any warning and put in your password if asked. Do not worry that the path to the files and the Owner name are different.
7. That's it. You should find that Mind Reading now works.
