There is no such thing as Jailbreak for Mac App Store per say like the same method of jailbreak with iPad or iPhone by installing Cydia and Installous. The Mac App Store itself is basically the same as iTunes App Store on the iPad and iPhone but for Mac. There is an installous version however with Mac App Store that you can go to, much like apptrackr.org website, this one is just about the same.
There is no hack, jailbreak or crack your mac app store to get this going. I don’t endorse this method of getting free stuff, however, I’m frustrated by the way the Mac App Store and it’s no trial software version for the app. It’s not entirely Apple’s fault, however, they should encourage a free trial software for their apps. The reason for the trial, and I think it’s essential, especially for their line of Mac, every hardware on each Mac is different, the OS is the same, OS X, but some games have this limitation to the hardware. So I won’t know if the games I just bought would be compatible with my new MacBook Air (Mid 2011) 13 Inch i5, 4Gb of Ram, 256Gb SSD and Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB. I know my spec because I know where to look for, but what about those who doesn’t know if it’s compatible? You can’t just pull the gun and hope for the best, especially if an app cost $20 or more. That would be a waste.
Even if your spec is over it’s minimum requirements, or just barely making it, it’s still no fun playing a game that crash often, or lag while playing the game. Or worst of all, it was working, then it quits and won’t play again, it would always quit. I can understand where there is no need for trial on the iOS, but for OS X, the hardware is what matters, not like the iPad, it’s almost the same, not entirely different.
I have MacBook Air Mid 2010, iMac i7 27 Inch Mid 2010, Mac Mini Mid 2010, MacBook Air Mid 2011, and they all have different spec. The most important part to look at is the Video Hardware and RAM (Memory). How do you find this? Or do you care? For those who care, go to the Apple Logo on your Mac on the top left, click on About This Mac.
A new window would appear, and it would only show you a little bit of information, not detail enough to get an idea what kind of graphics card you have. In order for you to get more information, click on the button More Info… button.
An overview of your system would show up, including your serial number, Graphics Card, Memory, Processor and your OS Version. That’s just on the Overview Tab, there are also other tabs such as Displays, Storage and Memory to get more detailed information on each category.
That’s the way to get information about your Mac, to see if the apps is compatible or not for your Mac. Most of the Utilities software on the Mac App Store will be compatible, except maybe some of the power house app out there. But so far, there is no detail requirements needed for apps, not like games. Games are more Picky when it comes to requirements, and that’s when you have to be careful about. Not all games will run on an older Intel Mac, some will, but the newer, powerful games such as Black Ops, Civilization V or any other heavy intense graphic games.
As you can see from the screenshot of Civilization V, it has a lot of requirements, what works and what don’t. It’s very descriptive, so it shouldn’t be hard to know if your Mac is incompatible with the game if you find out what is your Mac’s Spec by going to About This Mac as previously mentioned.
So if Apptrackr.org is equivalent to App Store then Applefix.org is an equivalent to the Mac App Store. Try the software out first at Applefix.org, then pay the developer if you like the game, if not, delete it before you enjoy the game too much. I suggest you install an anti-virus software for your Mac before downloading games from Applefix.org, and the games on there might be worm infested, so becareful. Download apps from Applefix.org at your own risk. The Mac App Store is still safer to download apps for your Mac. Consider this a warning.
