Has anyone managed to get a Mac executable slideshow to run under Snow Leopard. I have had no success.

Yes. All of the PTE slideshows that are in Mac binary format play on my Mac Mini with Snow Leopard. Click on the zip file to uncompress back to binary format and then run the slideshow. I have been unable to run a Mac PTE slideshow as a screensaver. I hope when the PTE editor for the Mac is available there will be a new screensaver option.

Some Mac slideshows available here.

Lin Evans also has many of his slideshows in Mac binary format.

Hello Elnor, I have the MacPro 2009 and 24 inch Cinema Monitor and have played all the Mac Executables both here and at Beckham Digital and they all run superbly. I should mention too I have the late summer 2009 MacBook Pro (I did a clean install from Leopard to Snow Leopard) and all the Mac executables run perfectly on it too and in fact connected it by HDMI to our HD TV and they look great. Did you do an upgrade or a clean install of Snow Leopard or do you have a new system that came with Snow Leopard on it? Bill

Thanks all,

Strangely, if I create the slideshow as a ZIP fie and uncompress on the Mac all works great. But if I do not create as a Zip file it will not work!

By the way I am using a 27" quad core IMac, and am creating the show on a Windows7 virtual machine using Parallells.

Most likely you forgot to include some file content or order of the file content.

However, most users find its easiest just to use the Create in Zip feature rather than the Create to avoid missing some of the content when copying the files for Mac users.

Yes, that is strange. It works on my Mac mini with Snow Leopard using both the Create and Create in Zip options. I just copy the .app folder to my Mac desktop and run (or decompress .zip and run). I'm using XP on fusion 3.
