How to fix Viber on Mac OS X Yosemite

As the time of writing this post, Viber didn’t release an updated version that supports Mac OS X Yosemite.

Chances are the app icon is marked with an X and you get an error message once you try to launch it.

It’s pretty easy to actually fix this issue; Just head to your Applications directory, right-click on the Viber icon then Show package contents. Navigate to the Contents folder and open Info.plist ; Note that you’d probably need a Plist file editor installed (or XCode) to edit this file. If it’s not the case, just open it with your preferred text editor – and you’ll get something like this:

/Applications/Viber.app/Contents/Info.plist
/Applications/Viber.app/Contents/Info.plist

Notice the highlighted lines – all you need to do is change the values 4 and 4.0.0 to, respectively, 5 and 5.0.0

Save your file. Relaunch Viber. You’re good to go!

The Great Alexander Graham Bell changed the way we communicate with sound, but, we took a “Historical detour”.

A “Historical detour” in Communication

Modern time Telegraphy started with Telegrams. Voice channels we not that cheap back in the 19th century. Actually, they were none until June 2nd 1875. Commercial ones started a few years later. Continue reading “What you should know about Facebook Voice Audio Comments: Delivering Happiness.” »
