Can't subscribe to signals

[Biebel]

I am trying to subscribe to signals. However, if I click on start copying to Metatrader, nothing happens. Does anyone know what I do wrong?

Make sure you've done everything as described here:

I've read MT5 item, and logged into MQL5.com, went to webterminal. There is no menu >> tools >> options pathway to click on to go the community tab. 

Any tips how I can go to the community tab?

You can only subscribe and copy signals, or use Market products, via the desktop application of MetaTrader, NOT via the webterminal.

If you are using Mac so check the following for installation of Metatrader 5:

• https://www.metatrader5.com/en/terminal/help/start_advanced/install_mac
  and
• MetaTrader 5 for macOS: ready-made DMG package and CrossOver update

And some explanation from MQ:

Terminal weeds in Linux

The terminal knows about the wine and obviously adjusts to it.

Previously, on older versions before Wine 5, we had to disable some of the functionality such as displaying the market and signals. With the growth of the wine's capabilities, we removed the restrictions.

At the moment, we recommend the minimum version of Wine 5.0, or better 6, and even the development branch. The target Windows version in it must be 10, not 7.

We know about the remaining errors in the Wine and will make workarounds. They are from the difference in the WinAPI implementation in Wine.

As to Community tab so use forum login (your forum login is biebel; do not use your email for login and do not use password received via google/facebook).
This is my example (but I do not have Mac sorry; and it is for MT4 but it is same for MT5):

I have installed MT5 for Mac, but unfortunately there is no option for signals. If I go to tools, options there is no signal button. So it's still not working. 

I've spent many hours reading all suggestions, but still unable to fix this problem on my mac. Is there any other software I need to install? Or is MT5 just not working on Mac? And need to close my account (or buy a Windows laptop). 

Any suggestions?

Macs don't offer signals.

You could use a windows emulator to use them.

I have an old Windows laptop, which is still working. I thought I try to install MT5 , and guess what..? I can subscribe to signals via my Windows laptop either. II hoped after reading several topics on this forum, that I am able to subscribe to signals. Under tools, options, there is no signal button. 

Any suggestions?
