[MAC] Origin servers temporarily unavailable

[nexusofdoom]

looks like downloading older client will let it connect via HTTP not HTTPS 

the new client  looks to have a bug or they should have a way in the client to select HTTP over HTTPS 

they should not need HTTPS to deliver updates.

I have been playing Sims 4 on this old Lenovo computer for quite a while now. I decided today to start using a MacBook Air OS X Yosemite to play.I was so excited and the right when I pop into Origin it gives the lovely message of: 

Apologies for the inconvenience, we’re currently unable to retrieve your list of games. Please reload and try again.

I. Have. Reloaded. AND. tried again. an unacceptable amount of times!

I just wanna play sims man!  

I know this is a fairly old issue but can somebody help me!?

@ElloMate555  Your particular issue is actually a new one, or at least a new version.  EA is tracking the problem and asking for Origin logs from affected Mac users; the details are in the initial post in this thread:

It would be great if you could upload your logs, as described.

In the meantime, some (but not all) users with Yosemite have been able to get a legacy edition of Origin to work.  You can pick up the conversation in the same thread, starting here:
