Why Won't Tunnelbear App Open Mac

| Posted on by

Hi everyone,

  1. Why Won't Tunnelbear App Open Mac Pro
  2. Problems With Tunnelbear


TunnelBear VPN is a really simple app that encrypts your web browsing and data (making it unreadable) as it leaves your device. It makes public Wi-Fi safe and secure, and also keeps your browsing.

I live in France now so I decided to download a VNP so I can view my American shows. I choose Tunnelbear and downloaded it but it won't open. I drag it into applcaitons like the window instructs then it appears in the dock for a split second and disappears. I have tried moving all componants to trash and secrure emptying the trash several times and it still won't open. My tech friend at work couldn't figure it out, can anyone here?


Useful info:


I dowolanded it originally with OS X 10.5 before I realized that I needed to update to be compatible. I have now updated to OS X 10.6 but maybe it still thinks this is a problem?


Any help would be great!

MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2008), Mac OS X (10.6.5)

Back up your library

Before following any of these steps, it's a good idea to create a backup of your photo library, even if you use iCloud Photos. You can use Time Machine, use a third-party backup solution, or copy the library to an external drive. By default, your photo library is stored in the Pictures folder within your home folder.

Make sure that your software is up to date

Photos is part of the Mac operating system. You can avoid or fix many issues by running the most up-to-date version of macOS. Learn more about updating the software on your Mac.

If you use RAW images in Photos, learn more about the digital camera RAW formats supported by iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.

If you have trouble migrating an existing iPhoto or Aperture library to Photos

You might see an alert message when you first open Photos or migrate an existing iPhoto or Aperture library. Learn what to do if Photos can’t copy or create a library.

App

If the Media Browser isn't showing your photos and videos

Use the Media Browser to make images from your photo library available in other apps, like Pages and iMovie. The Media Browser shows only the contents of the Photos library designated as the System Photo Library. If you have more than one Photos library—and the one you're using isn't set as the System Photo Library—the Media Browser won't show its contents.

Follow these steps to designate the current library as the System Photo Library:

  1. Choose Photos > Preferences.
  2. Click the General button at the top of the Preferences window.
  3. Click Use as System Photo Library.

If you're having other issues with Photos

If you're experiencing other issues—like missing or blank photo thumbnails, unexpected behavior, or if Photos won’t open—try to see if it's an issue with your library by following these steps.

Create a new Photos library and see if your issues persist:

  1. Quit Photos.
  2. Press and hold the Option key while you open Photos.
  3. In the dialog that appears, click Create New.
  4. Give your new library a name, then click OK. Note whether Photos opens successfully with this new library.

To return to your main Photos library, quit Photos. Then open it again while holding the Option key, select your main library, and click Choose Library.

Alternatively, you can open Photos in another user account on your Mac and note whether Photos opens successfully.

If Photos opens with the new library, or in a different user account, it might mean that there's an issue with your library. Follow the steps to use the Photos library repair tool on your main Photos library.
