chauntel 123 I BLOODY FIGURED IT OUT. HOLY MOLY OF SWEET okay I've calmed. Right so talking to C.S did nothing so I decided to carefully do it my way. Which thankfully works, oh yeah! Idk if it'll work for you, but here it is:
1. Delete Origin from Applications (just drag and drop to trash)
2. Open terminal (click command + space, then type terminal)
3. Type this: sudo rm -rf /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.ea.origin.ESHelper.plist
It'll now ask you to type in your password, the little box will keep blinking while you type in your password but it won't show you the letters as you type so make sure you're typing correctly!
4. Repeat the step above but type in this this time: sudo rm -rf /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.ea.origin.ESHelper
5. Just quit Terminal
6. Resetart computer
7. Re-download the Origin for Mac from EA
8. Install it blah blah blah
9. Click on Origin's "origin" (top left corner) then choose "preferences"
10. Go to general and tick/choose "update to beta version when avilable"
11. Log out and quit Origin
12. Re-sign in (an update will follow)
13. Try installing it now. When the box pops up it'll tell you to copy the PRODUCT CODE to the clipboard, do that. But for me when I was asked to input the code for registration putting that didn't work. Hence, the issue. So I got my old hard disc version out, flipped through the little booklet, at the very end there's another code and I just entered that in.
I hope it works for you, it did for me. 🙂
Ps. If it works (fingers crossed) remember to fully update to the newest patch before playing.
