Steam Problems

[Zog]

All, I'm having problems installing Steam on my Macbook Pro Laptop.


I already have it on my pc, I just want to play TF2 and HL2 on my laptop, as they can be played on the mac as well as the pc.


Whenever I boot it up, it says: "Unable to connect to Steam Network. 'Offline Mode' is unavailable because there is no login information stored on this computer."
 
Can someone help me fix it? Cheers.

is it still logged in on the PC? if so, it won't be able to log in the Mac. Steam can't be logged in on 2 systems at once with the same account.

I'm not certain. I'm at school atm but I'm going home today... I just hope it works then.

just make sure Steam is NOT logged in or active at all. then try logging in on your Mac and see what happens.

I've switched off the pc. But I'm now faced with another problem. I get up to the name and password part, and I press login, but then it says: "Could not connect to the steam network. This could be due to a problem with you internet connection, or with the Steam Network. Please visit www.steampowered.com for more info."

Now what?


EDIT: I've fixed it! I deleted "clientregistry.blob" and now it works! (It creates a new one)

[powerrave]

good to see it fixed. but when it gives a link for more info, it is wise to click it.

I did click it. It didn't help. I googled it :P


Anyway, Steam doesn't work at school. I'm assuming that that is because of the admin's block on almost every single website apart from google.

[powerrave]

yeah that will very probably be blocked. it's blocked on the school my friends go to too.

Re-name Steam.exe as something like "mozillafirefox.exe" or whatever browser you use.

[powerrave]

and what good what that do, next to other files from Steam probably not being able to find the exe.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

[Stagfish]

Yeah I did that.

Anyway, Steam crashed so I had to start it again, it went very quickly this time though. Took 20 mins instead of a whole day.
