Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I am wanting to upgrade to Lion, but I can't get a clear answer from MagicJack.
Does anyone know if it works with Lion?
iMac 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
As I do not use MagicJack at the moment, I can't tell you for sure, but it will probably work. It is an Intel application (it doesn't even work on the older PowerPC machines) and so it won't be affected by the lack of Rosetta in Lion. However, there may be other compatibility issues. If you have an external dirve or more than one Macintosh, you could install Lion on one of those and test it yourself.
Or perhaps someone else has already tested it?
Sorry, I was just pointing out what got that frustrating little box to work on my mac and thought that it might be of some use here. Feel free to deduct 10 of my "helpful answer" points ;-)
Magicjack works on 10.6.8 or Lion, unfortunately your machine has to be dedicated for it to work reliably. In other words, unless you dedicate your machine for exclusive Magicjack use while you use its phone service, every time you launch an application, you have to quit the application and reboot for it to actually work again. I've found that I have to turn off the Airport Firmware updater under the options as shown in this thread

If I'm using Airport, otherwise every couple weeks or so, Magicjack will fail to work at random because the base station is looking for someone to update its firmware or check if the firmware needs updating. So far I've managed to upgrade the firmware to 7.6.1, and install the 10.6.8 Flashback Java update, and it still works. Magicjack has this central place to make sure your Magicjack is not corrupted, where you can redownload the software:

Theodore: Please click the Apple icon >> Select System Preferences >> then click Network icon
Theodore: Then click on Advance button on the right bottom
Theodore: Then click on DNS tab
Theodore: Then on the DNS Server window...click the + button below and type in 67.90.152.122
Theodore: Then click the + button again and type in n: 67.107.71.186 and click OK
If you have more than your Magicjack set up, a router or Airport Extreme with OpenDNS DNS numbers works just fine with this:
using the new magicjack, i just have it connected to the router , of course dont have a computer interface but nothing had to be done except hook it up to the router and power
Hii Dewcati,
I recently got magic jack,older version. I tried a lot to install magicjack on my macbook pro.
Can you please tell me how to install it.
Tell me all the steps to be followed.
Where can I get mac compatible magicjack software?
PS: Mac Book Pro mid 2010, OS X 10.6.8
If you are on 10.6.x it should work just fine. When you insert the Magic Jack, it should just load software (thats what mine did) If not, go to their website and download the software. The install it from there. My install on my 10.6.x machine went fine. I only had issues on 10.7.x. I am sorry I can't be of more help.
Any resolution with Magicjack crashing on Lion? I'm still having issues.
Does MagicJack work with Lion? Should I wait to upgrade since I use MagicJack?
