– reboot from the patched installer and install the patched OSX 10.8 onto (the desired partition of) the internal harddrive – run MLPostFactor to create the patched installer (8GB) for OSX 10.8.4 (or an other version if you prefer that one for some reason…) – make a Time Machine backup and make sure both the OSX 10.8 installer and MLPostFactor are in you Applications folder You should follow the step-by-step instructions above, but just to give a quick impression of the routine : …or the video that HackerWayne (one of the MLPostFactor developers) has issued : VLC MAC 10.8.5 HOW TO – if you get a “WiFi: No Hardware Installed”-error, get the KextUtility for OSX 10.8 and install the Edited Atheros Kext for Lion*3 – then reboot from the fresh OSX 10.8 partition (= your internal harddrive) – reboot from the patched installer and run MLPostFactor from there onto the partition you have just installed OSX 10.8 on (= your internal harddrive) – this will either end in an error or a white screen (seemingly ‘hung’)
!! REMEMBER : DO FOLLOW THE COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS THAT CAN BE FOUND HERE : VLC MAC 10.8.5 INSTALL Get it for PowerPC or Intel.I’ve updated the links (both to the downloads and the full instructions) in the original post, as the ‘official’ site appears to be down at this moment. Note that support ended for all releases listed below and hence they won't receive any further updates. You can find recommendations for the respective operating system version below. We provide older releases for users who wish to deploy our software on legacy releases of Mac OS X. Older versions of Mac OS X and VLC media player
The last version is 3.0.4 and can be found here. Support for NPAPI plugins was removed from all modern web browsers, so VLC's plugin is no longer maintained. You can also choose to install a Universal Binary.
If you need help in finding the correct package matching your Mac's processor architecture, please see this official support document by Apple. Note that the first generation of Intel-based Macs equipped with Core Solo or Core Duo processors is no longer supported. Previous devices are supported by older releases. It runs on any Mac with a 64-bit Intel processor or an Apple Silicon chip. VLC media player requires Mac OS X 10.7.5 or later.
