OSX: Renoise does not start anymore

Help, Support & Bugs
1

Mac OS X 10.9.5 (Mavericks)

Renoise 3.1.0 (Latest stable)

Renoise has been running fine since the first install. Now it fails to load. The splash screen appears for a second then disappears. Nothing in the activity log.

Recent installs:

Bitwig Studio

Liquid Rhythm (Uninstalled using their instructions)

Two errors are generated in the log:

5/4/16 7:41:00.708 AM Renoise[1935]: Error loading /Applications/AutomapServer.app/Contents/Resources/AutomapServerEngine.bundle/Contents/MacOS/AutomapServerEngine: dlopen(/Applications/AutomapServer.app/Contents/Resources/AutomapServerEngine.bundle/Contents/MacOS/AutomapServerEngine, 262): no suitable image found. Did find:

/Applications/AutomapServer.app/Contents/Resources/AutomapServerEngine.bundle/Contents/MacOS/AutomapServerEngine: mach-o, but wrong architecture

5/4/16 7:41:00.719 AM Renoise[1935]: Error loading /Applications/REAPER.app/Contents/Plugins/REAPERReWireDev.bundle/Contents/MacOS/REAPERReWireDev: dlopen(/Applications/REAPER.app/Contents/Plugins/REAPERReWireDev.bundle/Contents/MacOS/REAPERReWireDev, 262): no suitable image found. Did find:

Any help appreciated.

Might be worth attaching your entire Renoise log file to a post Greg because there might be crash log stack trace information and what architecture (32 or 64 bit Renoise) that could help see what any AudioUnits/VSTs are up to. That error message seems similar to -> https://forum.renoise.com/t/osx-mavericks-audiounit-editors-do-crash/39442 from 2013 with Renoise 2.8 :slight_smile:

I snapped the screen while Renoise was loading. The splash screen shows ā€œReading the plugin cachesā€¦ā€ then drops out.

Here is a Dropbox link to the entire Renoise logā€¦

According to the log you had a successful load about 76 days ago (just under 11 weeks), then trouble started 2 days ago. Very very tall order but you have to think what was installed (including BitWig etcā€¦) and what you couldā€™ve done in that time frame to upset Renoise (I know, it is easier said than done! :slight_smile: )

The other thing to try (although a long shot and I have no idea where the files are stored in what directory on the Mac version), is to find the files with names like: ā€˜CachedFailedVSTs.dbā€™ (usually sitting along with the config.xml file) and move those .db files to a temporary place on your HD. Then run Renoise. It forces Renoise to rebuild its cache of VSTs/AUs, and see if that helps Renoise in any way. It may not, but it might be worth a try :slight_smile:
