Darn, it seems I’m doomed, I downloaded the MacOS (Intel) app, and it crashes on launch!
SongKong 8.3 not starting on MacoS El Capitan
Oh dear, not having much luck are you
Are you sure have right version - there is an Intel and a M1 download for MacOS.
Did you actually install in Applications or just try to run direct from dmg ?
Does it fail consistently if you try again ?
Yes, to all… multiple tries, downloaded 3 separate times (twice with Firefox, once with Chrome), always installed in Applications. Should I send you the Apple crash report? (MacOS 10.11.6 “El Capitan” on a Macbook Pro retina mid 2012, 8GB ram)
Okay El Capitan is rather old, it was released in 2015. As luck would have it I also have a Mac that run El Capitan, this is a Macbook Pro from 2009 that I cannot upgrade beyond El Capitan.
I have just tried and it fails for me also, I think the issue is we have now moved to Java 17 in SongKong 8.2 and this doesn’t seem to be compatible with El Capitan.
The good news is that I just tried SongKong 8.1 and that still works, and can be downloaded from here so please give that a go, this is a recent release so you dont miss out much and you can transfer your license if you get a newer mac in the future.
Awesome, thanks Paul. Version 8.1 is working great!! Now I can get on with it, looking forward to fixing all my metadata…
