With thanks to Esther Lee and John Heffernan, here are a couple of solutions if the LEGO WeDo themed activities do not appear (yellow LEGO face is greyed out) while operating LEGO WeDo software (v1.2) on Mac OS 10.7 (Lion). Note: The first solution worked for me, and I was able to later go in and lock the file mentioned below.<\/p>\n

Solution 1<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Reinstall your LEGO WeDo v1.2 software (you may first need to relocate and download \u201cWeDo: Mac OS 10.7 (Lion) Installer Fix\u201d from www.education.lego.com, as there is an additional issue installing LEGO WeDo v1.2 with the Lion operating system;<\/li>\n
  2. Find the file called \u201cwedo.ini\u201d using Finder. No need to open the file, just right click on it and “Get Info\u201d;<\/li>\n
  3. Find the box that allows you to check \u201cLock\u201d. If the box is un-highlighted and you can\u2019t check it, scroll down to \u201cSharing and Permissions\u201d. Click on \u201cRead only\u201d for all the options.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Solution 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. After locating the \u201cwedo.ini\u201d file, open using Text Edit.<\/li>\n
    2. Copy and paste the following line exactly as you see it into the last entry: Head=”Library:Application Support:WeDo:Activities:index.html”.<\/li>\n
    3. Exit Text Edit and attempt to go back into the wedo.ini file and check \u201clock\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The reason for this error occurring is the wedo.ini file is deleting a line that refers to the videos in the LEGO WeDo software. Hopefully later patches will eliminate this problem for new users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
