You will get nothing mining in a mac. You will actually spend more in power costs and you risk destroying your laptop.

You could always try the USB ASIC Block Erupters, maybe a risky investment, but if you have trouble with hardware or having the technical know how, they are simple to setup.

how do i use this USB ASIC block erupters?..And why it is a risky investment?

because the difficulty is growing up like crazy and it may take very long time for you to get more money than you spent buying the errupter and paying electricity.

You better try a different pool.
Triplemining not only has tech problems but it also keeps lots of blocks for himself. Not a trustworthy pool.
You will get much better results mining at eligius.st (0% fees) or at bitminter to name a few.
Take a look at the pool stats thread and you will find much better pools there.

Everyone has problems mining dont feel bad bout yourself

I used to have a major problem with GUIminer not giving me my rewards.. I switced to CGminer problem = fixed

Never had a mining problem except with triplemining by the way.

You should really do more research before diving into mining.. Read tutorials, discussions on this forum etc. Read about and understand the difficulty.

Everyone has a few problems mining but thanks to community helped get them fixed :)

Let it be then, let the community get it fixed.

Doesn't always work that way...

Not always as it should, of course, hopefully most of the time it will.

try CGminer
