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 4,933 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 25,976 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 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 25,976 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 10:45:39 519 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 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 17:26:58 519 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.

Once Steam is installed and you are logged in, you can skip to Step 7 below to enter your Rocksmith 2014 key.

3. Follow the on-screen prompts for the installation.
4. Login with your Mac OS credentials, then choose Install Software.
5. Once Steam has successfully installed, you can select Close.
6. Rocksmith is a SteamWorks game, which means it uses the Steam application to install and launch the game. Login (if you already have a Steam account) or create a new Steam account to proceed.
7. Steam should automatically open to the Steam Store. From there, click on + ADD A GAME at the bottom left and select Activate a Product on Steam.
8. Use the paper insert that came inside the Rocksmith 2014 game case to activate your product.
Enter the key exactly as shown on the insert, using all capital letters and including the dashes.
It should look like this: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX.
Click NEXT when finished.
9. Next, you will see the End User License Agreement. Select I AGREE to continue.
10. The next screen will prompt you to install the game.
Make sure you have enough free space on your selected hard drive. Click NEXT when ready to proceed.
11. Check the corresponding boxes if you wish to create shortcuts. Click NEXT to proceed.
12. The game will now download and install. When complete, check the box next to View Steam Library and select FINISH to proceed.
13. You will now be viewing your Steam Library. Here is where your game(s) will be listed. Select Rocksmith 2014 from the list pane and choose PLAY.
14. Next, you will see a prompt for your Rocksmith 2014 CD key.
Press COPY KEY TO CLIPBOARD then choose PLAY.
You can also click Don't show me this again if you don't want to see this key prompt each time you open the game.
15. A prompt will appear to inform you of the Steam Overlay. Select OK to continue.
16. The game will now launch. Go through the intro screens until you reach the Rocksmith main page. Press ENTER on your keyboard to begin.
17. Next, create a Uplay account or login to your existing Uplay account.
18. Enter the CD key that you copied to your clipboard in step 14. Paste it into the field by pressing the Command key and the letter V at the same time.
19. Create your in-game profile (think of it like you are naming your save slot) and enjoy the game.
If you need any further assistance, please submit a ticket at our Support site. You will need to log in to your Uplay account to ask a question.
A Ubisoft Support representative will address your request as soon as possible.
