Installing Osirix

[Dr Sameer Shamshuddin]

[jmb548]

I am having repeated problems installing OsiriX 5. Every time that I click on the OsiriX icon to drag it to my applications folder, th cursor 'locks' onto the OsiriX icon, a (+) sign superimposed on part of the icon/cursor, and the corrupted icon cannot be deposited anywhere. Nor is there any way to regain use of my Mac without manually rebooting it.

Of my three Macs, the only one to which I have downloaded OsiriX 5 is a late-2008 MacBook Pro which is running OS 10.8 (Mountain Lion).

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I would be more than happy to make a transatlantic telephone call if anyone would like to discuss this with me or take over my MBP to see the problem in real-time.

Sincerely,

Joe Becker

I had a similarish prob:

Try this:

Open existing Osirix, click Osirix---quit osirix

Remove Osirix icon from the DOCK BAR

Then FINDER---CMD+backspace on existing Osirix Icon (puts it into trash)----empty trash

Then double click the new version DMG file, will get a prompt to drag osirix icon to application

Drag the icon into applications

Launch Finder and navigate to Osirix--go one step further and you will see further subfolder plus another Osirix.app icon

When you double click this it will install the new version

If this fails probably your Mac is not compatible !

Let me warn you, with the latest version all your images will have--Not for Medical Use---- box as default !!!

Then you can download the old version (i would recommend 3.8.1) as you dont get the annoying Memory message with this version for larger CT datasets

You can chose not to get an update message by unchecking the boxes under Osirix-Preferences-General

Let me know how you got on

Cheers

after downloading the O.5 version, got a prompt to move the osirix icon into the application folder.

Open CT images in one viewer, open pet images in a new tab

Rt click and drag the little icon on top of the ct image and place it on the pet image, you will get an option to fuse
