The latest release of Mac OS X is listed at Apple's web site: (after 10.11: ) Playing WoW on a Macintosh presents the player with some unique challenges and opportunities, hence this page. Issues to be aware of include: differences in the effect of certain video settings on system performance, trouble finding equivalent hardware to that available to the PC player, and the availability of in-game native UI Video Recording exclusive to Mac players. Despite these problems, the latest model can run WoW with around 70 FPS in Orgimmar/Stormwind and 100 FPS anywhere else. System Requirements. World of Warcraft. You were meant for this world.

[] Systems pre-patch for Mists of Pandaria • Mac OS 10.5 will no longer be supported as of the systems pre-patch (patch before the expansion releases). • Mac OS 10.6 support dropped also since the minimum requirement is 10.7.4, but it has not been officially announced. User Interface Addons Users are sometimes unsure if Macs are able to make use of User Interface. In fact, all UI Addons are built on an XML/Lua scripting system built into WoW and cannot contain native code, so they will run on any platform World of Warcraft runs on —Windows or Mac. Simply place an addon in your World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns/ folder and restart WoW. You can copy that entire folder from a Windows box to get all your addons onto your new Mac. Copy the World of Warcraft/WTF/ folder too and you'll get all your macros, chat window settings, and addon saved data, too.). For users that play on different machines, it can be beneficial to move the Interface/AddOns and Interface/WTF folder to an online cloud service, such as DropBox with a symbolic link in the original Applications/Warcraft. This will allow multiple machines to have the same UI, shared through a cloud service. Caveats: • Most addons are available in.zip files (which can be opened with Mac OS X built-in software). Some Addon authors like to package their products as self-extracting/installing.exe files; while the addon will work on a Mac, the.exe file will not. If you find an addon that is only available in an.exe, ask the author for a.zip version — most will be happy to oblige.

The addons themselves will work on the Mac, but you will need a Mac version of the external program to get the functionality it provides.
