Registered 6 years agoI've trawled the internet and found no fix for my issue with steam on my Mac. Anyone got any ideas? Get a PC is not a fix unfortunately.
Whenever I try to open steam all that happens is the steam icon bounces on the bottom of the screen indefinitely. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Steam but for some reason I get the same issue every time. Any ideas? - neems 21 Feb 2017 10:53:55 5,148 posts

Registered 17 years agoWhen this happened to me I found a forum post somewhere that listed which files in the Steam install location to delete. It forces it to rebuild them which then often cures the issue. The Mac client is a shonky abomination sadly. - Phattso 21 Feb 2017 11:06:00 26,307 posts

Registered 17 years agoTry this: 'Go to Finder. Then Library. Then App Support. Then Steam. Mov registry.vdf to trash. Reopen steam.'
Another thing: when you reinstalled did you restart your Mac between uninstalling and reinstalling? I've had issues with some Steam service not getting terminated which causes problems. It's rare. Maybe three times in six years. I've had Steam refuse to start on my Windows machine twice in the last year mind. Might have too many games. - funkstar 21 Feb 2017 11:41:12 3,280 posts

Registered 14 years agoDidn't Steam drop support for older versions of the MacOS a while ago? If you're not on the latest that may be the issue - TAJB 21 Feb 2017 16:56:07 1,221 posts

Click on the Apple icon (top menu) > ' About This Mac' and it'll tell you your OS version. An old version of macOS could definitely be causing your Steam issue.

Registered 13 years ago@TAJB The folder should be in the Library folder within your user directory:
Macintosh HD > Users > Your Username ƒ > Library > Application Support > Steam
If you were using the 'Go to Folder' command in the finder menu it would be: ~YourUsername/Library/Application Support/Steam - TAJB 23 Feb 2017 08:51:15 1,221 posts

Registered 17 years agoDeleting the /appcache directory has been known to work for some (on Windows as well as Mac). Or just move it if you don't want to risk deleting it outright. - Phattso 23 Feb 2017 08:54:01 26,307 posts

Registered 17 years agoThe 'registry.vdf' file will be in the root of the Steam directory, so if you can't see it it ain't there (most likely because you have a fresh install). - Beetroot_Bertie 23 Feb 2017 10:45:39 520 posts

Registered 13 years ago@TAJB It might be a permissions issue. Open up Disk Utility (in the Utilities folder which is in the main Applications folder), select your hard drive on the left and click the 'Repair Disk Permissions'. It might pay to reboot after that but I'm not sure.
You could also try resetting the PRAM by restarting/starting up whilst holding down the CMD, ALT, P, R keys. Keep them pressed until the Mac does the start up 'bong' another time. - TAJB 23 Feb 2017 11:18:12 1,221 posts

Registered 6 years agoSo i deleted App Cache and Registry.vdf after fixing permissions with Disk utility and I'm still having exactly the same issue. Nothing seems to be working and now when I check finder the folder directory can't be found even though I was just there? - Phattso 23 Feb 2017 11:44:21 26,307 posts

Registered 17 years agoOh, here's a silly question: it hasn't opened in another desktop space has it? It should switch to the space when you click on the icon, but I'm in clutching at straws territory now.
Another question: you said you'd reinstalled steam, but as you didn't have permission to see the files mentioned above I'm assuming you didn't try deleting the directory first? Kill the WHOLE directory. Restart. Then install Steam.
We're sort of into head scratch territory now. - Beetroot_Bertie 23 Feb 2017 17:26:58 520 posts

Registered 13 years agoDunno if it will help but maybe delete the 'com.valvesoftware.steamclean.plist' from the Launch Agents folder in your user Library.
Another thing to try might be to create another user account (on your Mac) and see if the problem still occurs when logged in with that one.
