Moderators DennisD Posted April 19, 2012 Moderators Share Posted April 19, 2012 Hi fame1000, and welcome to the forum. Has this just happened, or happened after a version upgrade? Have you tried removing and reinstalling CCleaner? Or if it's after upgrading, have you tried the previous version to see if that one still works? Very few of us have Macs, so can't try things ourselves, which always helps when trying to find a cause for something. Post back if those suggestions don't fix it for you.

chipmck Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 downloaded ccleaner for mac .106 and got an update. It bounces in the dock, like, 2 minutes, then sits there in the dock - never opens the window, have to Force Quit. Lion 10.7.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted April 27, 2012 Moderators Share Posted April 27, 2012 Hi chipmck, a welcome to you also. Have you tried anything yourself to fix this? (Suggestions above) A CCleaner reinstall, or would making a new shortcut make any difference? As mentioned previously, few if any of us have Macs so can't do the "hands on" thing to find a solution. Some dev input may be required here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators DennisD Posted April 28, 2012 Moderators Share Posted April 28, 2012 OK, thanks for the update. Just one more piece of info if you would. Is it just CCleaner you're having this problem with? I'll do a bit of research and if any of our Mac owning members have any ideas, I'm sure they'll contribute to the thread.

chipmck Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Is it just CCleaner you're having this problem with?Just CCleaner sits. Other applications do start up (open a window). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipmck Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Another release 103 and another dud: bouncy bouncy then nothing - just sit You cant even get the program/application started!!!!!!!! Downloaded Version 1.07.233 from website OMG!!! It opens !!!!!!!!!! Tools --> Repair Permissions ???????? Why are non system (not bootable) volumes listed??? Totally irrelevant !!!!!

TheWebAtom Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Tools --> Repair Permissions ???????? Why are non system (not bootable) volumes listed??? Totally irrelevant! Mac stores permissions as metadata files, with the .bom extension. That means the drive doesn't need to be bootable for the Repair Permissions tool to operate. Theoretically, you could remove a hard drive from one device, plug it into another machine (although you might need a soldering iron for the newer Macs) and perform a disk repair. OMG!!! It opens !!!!!!!!!! That wasn't condescending at all... I'm Shane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While running Mountain Lion, you say it is not destructive to Repair Permissions on a Snow Leopard system volume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWebAtom Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 My knowledge of filesystem changes post-OS X 10.6 is limited. I couldn't answer that question with confidence. You ask that in a tone that suggests you know the answer. Care to elaborate? I'm Shane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_B Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 you say it is not destructive to Repair Permissions on a Snow Leopard system volume? You are being utterly ridiculous You were NOT told anything about non-destruction of Repair Permissions. Instead you were given information to counter the ignorance you appeared to show by your comment Why are non system (not bootable) volumes listed??? Totally irrelevant !!!!!

chipmck Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 You ask that in a tone that suggests you know the answer. Care to elaborate? According to Apple article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1452, Repair Permissions uses data in folder/directory /Library (currently active one). If the active system is Mountain Lion and the target disk is Snow Leopard system disk, there is the exposure of misplacing files/directories. Between releases, Apple has been known to reorganize the directory structure of the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
