[OT] Max won't launch after osx security upgrade
Hello.
Sorry for the OT, but I just came back from holidays, updated my OS
(10.4.11) and now, MaxMSP (5.05) won't launch (neither will skype nor
itunes,...).
I know that this may not be the best place to post this but I couldn't
find anything on apple forums and as Max is one of the app not working
anymore, I thought that maybe someone else here experienced this problem.
I tried repairing my system permissions but so far no luck.
Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers.
Try opening up the Console program, then launching Max (or Skype,
iTunes, etc). You can find console in Spotlight. What does Console say
when you launch Max? I would google those errors, and if that doesn't
work you can post them here.

Unfortunately, the console log does not look very helpfull.
Here is it (just in case) after trying to open Max:
Dec 30 12:39:41 mac crashdump[360]: crashdump crashed
Dec 30 12:39:41 mac crashdump[360]: crash report written to:
/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/crashdump.crash.log
Found a few similar problems on apple forums but none of the proposed
solutions seem to work here (like installing again Security update in
SafeMode and Command line mode) ...
It looks like I'm gonna start 2009 with a system (re)install....
Hi,
Can you paste the contents of /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/crashdump.crash.log ?
If you're just going to reinstall OS X, then, obviously, don't bother...

Hi Jerzy,
thanks for your help.
I would love *not* to install my system again, but I'm afraid I don't
see any other solutions right now...
Here is the log:

Thanks again.

You need to do a "combo update" of OSX, available on Apple's website. Incremental updates can result in the problem you have.
N.
Thanks for the info but the combo update didn't solve this problem.
I think I will start 2009 with a system re-install...
Ciao
I may have the same problem.
Max/MSP won't launch for me either. I'm using 4.6. The run-time does launch, but is useless for my needs.
I did the security-2008 update recently but can't say for sure if max ran or not after that.
I've deleted ~/Library/Preferences/Max folder. Reinstalled from the dmg.
I've e-mailed support but they probably are not open.
Crash log attached
Did you solver this problem ? and how ? Thanks
