Installing Roblox and Roblox Studio does not work for Apple Mac

  • No audio. It would just been me growling at it anyway. This video is about Roblox and Roblox Studio does not work for Apple Mac. I am just going in circles as you can see. Roblox have recommended I check Flash, which is a concern as Adobe will make that redundant from December. They also suggested creating a new user account just to run it. Which is clearly impractical. Removing parent controls (I'm a grown up!), updating all the scripting (none of which is supposed anymore by Safari, Chrome or Firefox). I've used CleanMyMac to scrub my mac all clean of Roblox traces then try reinstalling with each browser and restarting. Any links that would help me get this working are really appreciated.

    Support asked me to check Flash. Odd, as Flash gets retired in December. I've asked multiple times if Roblox is Flash dependent with no answer. So.... all i assume from that is that Roblox will cease to work after December.

      Check my comment in the comment section, that's currently the only solution to getting roblox and roblox studio to work for Mac.

    I HAVE A FIX!!! If you are using Roblox Studio on a mac device and it says authentication failed or could not log in despite the fact that your user and pass is correct do this:
    Go to system preferences, go to Network, go to both your ethernet (if you aren't using an ethernet cord, its still fine) and your wifi. Click on advanced then click on proxies on the tab bar. After that, disable SOCKS proxy. After that, go back and then click on apply on the bottom right corner of the window. After that, log in to Roblox Studio and it will work. If it doesn't work, make sure you disabled SOCKS proxy on both your ethernet and wifi networks. If you close Roblox Studio, you will have to repeat this process again until Roblox Studio works with SOCKS proxy. Ur welcome fam
    EDIT: This will also work with the Roblox app if it keeps on saying "Unable to fetch current version" :D

    It sucks getting the “Roblox was unable to update” message and it doesn’t even tell me why. I reinstalled both Roblox and Roblox Studio. Neither of them worked. I also tried restarting my computer TWICE, and I wasn’t surprised to see the error message again. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME.

    I tried this today without success: Try fully resetting your Roblox settings by deleting the settings files. To do this go to Library->Preferences and delete all of the Roblox com files. When Studio/Player are launched again, it should reinstall them all.I tried this without success today:

      A year on and the best result I had from roblox was that my Flash was out of date, that it was my IP providers fault, or I should create a fresh partition on my drive for roblox only. So, nothing that shows Roblox support has any real idea what I’m talking about or sincere desire to address my issue. That said , others have found the solutions on this page work for them so please read thru the other replies on this page .
