I found that a lot of the addons for WoW are supposed to be Mac compatible, but I believe the problem is that most files downloaded are zip format that Mac OS X's native decompression engine doesn't handle cleanly, which will cause the attempt to fail. So, here's what should remedy the situation.

If you goto

http://www.macobserver.com/columns/slacker.../20050812.shtml

then scroll down there will be a link to download Aladdin's StuffIt Expander utility, which works the same as WinZip or whatever that program is called. This will enable most Ziped files to be expanded just like Winzip is supposed to do, then you just drag the addon into the ..worldofwarcraft/interface/addons file. Also, the person who wrote the information on this webpage is a Mac user playing WoW, and the addon that he uses is CTMod. Now, I'm currently working on getting this addon to work on my Mac, and hopefully, here shorlty to be exact, I will have this addon working fo my Mac version of WoW. Update soon!

Ok, I got this addon, CTMod to work, but I didn't use the Stuffit Expander like the website I referred to said. Here is what I did... ..

I downloaded CT_Core from http://www.ctmod.net/downloads.ct
Once the file was downloaded, I gutted the file by moveing the file's content to ..worldofwarcraft/interface/addons

Once I did that I opened up the game, jumped on, and sure enough the addon had worked. I knew it had because the litlte "CT" icon was next to my Minimap (right by the zoom buttons). This addon can be slightly confuseing, especialy to someone who has almost no clue what it can do (like myself). I was just happy that I got the addon to work, and I'm going to play around iwth it (I already have some).
I believe this method can work with most other addons, although some do require that you take out the Blizzard addons that come stock with the game. The CT addon that I have I know doesnt require you to gut the addon file, all I had to do was copy the contents of the CT_Core file to my addon file and I got it to work..

After 2 months of playing without any type of addon, let me say I'm pretty excited of seeing what this will do, since I've heard so much about the advantages. I hope this will help other Mac users who skim this site.

If your problem is extracting .zip files I suggest using this:

It's a free program that works wonders and I used to love when I played wow.
