I am a newby, but very old and therefore very stupid.
I am trying to initiate and register a bitshares account.
I have downloaded the latest BitShares (dmg) release (from GitHub) to my mac and placed it in in applications.
When I go to start it a small window comes up to tell me that it "quit unexpectedly" Have done this repeatedly.
A report comes up with some code that is waaaay beyond my addled brain.
Can someone help?

I am getting the same error on my iMac. It just quits and sends a long error message.

This may depend on the version of your operating system. In my experience, versions of OSX 10.6.8 and earlier are not compatible.
-
my OS is 10.7.5 Do you have any solutions?
Or is there going to be another release shortly?
Thanks.
-
Can you post the whole error message/code here?
-
No, I cannot post the entire error message. I will not copy to my clipboard.
Is there a portion that give a clue?
-
Do you have the most recent version? https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/releases/tag/bts%2F0.5.1
-
just downloaded the latest version and....same thing, won't open.
the first two lines of the report say:
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x00007fff5fc01028
any clues???
-
Can you post more of the error? Take a screenshot if you can't copy it

I can take a screenshot but it will not paste or copy here.
I will work on it some more.
I do appreciate your help.

Hi ibis48,
I don't know if this is going to be of any help, but check System Preference - Security & Privacy - General - Allow applications downloaded from - Anywhere.
Please ignore if it is not helpful.
Aloha :)

You can paste a screenshot here: http://snag.gy/ and then give us the link here.

Did you ever get it to work? Mine is at 96d and gaining rather than counting down time. Frustrating.

This could just be a GUI issue. Try to go to the console and type in 'getinfo', then wait a few mins and type 'getinfo' again. Check if the block number is increasing.

I too had this issue, but it was resolved by updating to the newest client on this release page:
https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/releases/ (https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/releases/)
Some links on this forum, and on Bitshares.org are stale, and point to out of date versions, which was the issue I faced. Running the newest client allowed for Registering of names/accounts and all features.
