How to find your games and files on Mac is: Click on desktop. Click on Go which is the 5th button in on your left. Go the the 2nd last command which is Go To Folder. Click on it and enter this text ~/Library/Application Support; Find the Steam Folder and click on it. Go into Common Apps. Redownload it. If it's anything like Borderlands 2, you'll probably need to grab the PC save you have on your local system (probably somewhere under c:/users//documents/my games), and then copy the save files to wherever they're located on OS X (for Borderlands 2 its ~/Library/Application Support/Borderlands 2. I imagine for Bioshock it would be ~/Library/Application Support/Bioshock Infinite, but you might need to dig around if not). I'll often boot to Windows over the weekends, in case I want to play something not available on OS X, and I've just gotten in the habit of copying over my Borderlands 2 saves when I do. And copying them back over if I played any, to make sure my OS X version is up to date. [edit] I suppose if I was willing to risk losing my save data, I could symlink them from a shared location into their respective places on OS X or Windows, and save the hassle of copying back and forth. Would definitely want to keep backups, just in case, but it should be doable. I already symlink my steamapps folder, and that works great. It could be that the Mac version is still a patch or two behind the PC version, even though it just came out. The same thing happened with Borderlands 2 when the Mac version first came out, and for a while afterward, anytime there was an update to the game it hit PC first, then Aspyr was able to port it over to the Mac version. Usually only took a week or two, and I imagine they'll probably be working overtime to get this patched up as soon as possible. That said, it is possible that the saves between Mac and PC won't be compatible. I'm really hoping not, I like being able to go back and forth. You'll probably need to contact Aspyr support to get a definitive answer on that, or they may have it in a FAQ already. @Psych: If you're PC saves are on a Boot Camp partition, you should be able to access that and copy them off from OS X, so you have a current backup, just in case that does end up happening. Though if it's anything like they did with Borderlands 2, they'll probably never have Steam Cloud support between the Windows and Mac versions. Or at least not until Irrational/2K finishes patching the game maybe in another year or so. It's not that it's not possible, My Portal 2 and Half-Life 2 share saves just fine between Mac, Linux and Windows. Portal 2 even took my save that I started on PS3 and picked right back up on Mac and PC. I think Aspyr is intentionally not enabling cross-platform Steam Cloud, specifically because of the potential version differences. Valve can avoid the version differences by releasing updates for all platforms simultaneously, but Aspyr cannot do that since they have to wait for Irrational/2K to release an update that Aspyr then has to port to the Mac version. Worked for me! I had to disable Steam sync for the game first though, which means you'll have to take all responsibility for backing up your save games from then on - Steam won't be doing it for you. To do that, right click on the Bioshock Infinite entry in your Steam Library the choose Properties->Updates and untick the 'Enable Steam Cloud synchronization for Bioshock Infinite' checkbox. After that, I moved my Mac save games to another folder somewhere, and then copied all my Windoze equivalents over into their place. You must untick that Steam sync checkbox first though. If you don't, you'll have to start the game again from scratch on your Mac. Not even moving your original Mac savegames back into the save game folder will work.
