fober

When I launch Max on Mavericks (10.9.2), I can't get any window nor any menu bar although the process is running and appears in the process list or in the dock. The dock even tells me that a patch is opened. I can't also quit it (from the dock) and I have to kill the process.

I think there is some incorrect state stored somewhere and restored when launching the app. I don't have the problem with the runtime version, nor with Max 5.

Any idea of what happens and how to solve ?

You can try clean re-installation of Max 6. The steps are in this thread:

https://cycling74.com/forums/how-desinstall-max6/

Unfortunately, it doesn't work. First, the content of the "~/Library/Application Support/Cycling '74" folder looks quite different on Mavericks. I tried to remove the whole Cycling '74 folder and to reinstall, I've also removed the com.cycling74.Max* files in ~/Library/Preferences...

When I launch the application from a terminal, I get the console messages and that the application freezes after

without success.

Maybe it is best to write directly thy support...
