Keep receiving this message at 52%: The installer was unable to read the file "/Volumes/Wrath of the Lich King/Installer Tome 3.mpq". This error may be caused by problems with the media or drive at /Volumes/Wrath of the Lich King/--for example, a scratched or dirty CD-ROM/DVD-ROM, hard drive corruption, or a networking problem while downloading the installer. (The data being read was "MPQs-2/FullInstallLK/Data#expansion.MPQ/Character/ForestTroll/Male/ForestTrollMaleFaceLower04_01.blp", and the error code was 105.) If this problem persists, please contact Blizzard Technical Support. (Converter::Load) <--The "data being read" file is different with each message.-->

I deleted the Blizzard folder from Users\Shared and all the Blizzard related .plist and .prefs files, but still no luck. This is driving me nuts.

BTW, WotLK loaded fine on my Windows PC, so don't think the DVD is bad. Also cleaned the DVD, no difference, still got the message.

Hello Kvetch,


Let's prep the mac before another attempt at an install:

Reset PRAM:

(Note: in order for this procedure to work the sound must be working normally and not muted)

1. (re)start the computer
2. right after the initial system chime press Opt+command (Apple)+p+r
3. hold these keys down until you get two more chimes
4. let go of the keys and let the system boot up naturally (do not press any keys)

( If sound is not an option: press the keys stated above right after the (re)start,
and instead of listening for the 2 chimes, the screen will flash white 2 times.)

- AND -

Repair Directory Procedure:

1. (re)start the computer
2. right after the computer starts press Command (Apple) +"s" until you get a black screen with white type
3. let go of the keys when this screen comes up
4. at the cursor please type the following: /sbin/fsck -fy and press return (make sure to include the spaces)
5. please be aware that some of the procedures will look like they are frozen, but are actually taking a long time to work i.e checking hierarchy
6. if anything had to be repaired, repeat step 4

8. computer will boot into Mac OS

Please use the steps below to repair file permission settings
on the hard drive you have installed World of Warcraft.

1.) click on the Finder icon in the Dock
2.) open the Applications folder
3.) open the Utilities folder
4.) double click on the Disk Utility application icon
5.) select the hard drive the game is installed on
6.) select the First Aid option

If anything had to be repaired, run the repair again to make sure everything was repaired the first time around.

Now try the install again. And let me know what happens. Also do you use any file sharing programs on your Mac ? Like Limewire or Frostwire or uTorrnet, etc.
