KX2 Utility for MAC not working for me

I am trying to use the 64 bit KX2 Utility on my MacBook Pro running macOS 10.15 Catalina.

I click on it and it never opens. K3 Utility works fine FWIW.

Any hints?
Thanks!

David F. Reed

Re: KX2 Utility for MAC not working for me

i just tried it on my Catalina MacBook Pro out of curiosity — I don’t own a KX2. Opens and runs fine.

Do you get any kind of message when you try to open it? If I just click on it in the Downloads folder directly from the Dock, I get a message that it won’t open because it was downloaded from the internet. (There’s something screwy with Catalina and the behavior of the Downloads Dock icon anyway). If I open Downloads in Finder and then run it properly it runs fine.

Grant, thanks for the info; I re-downloaded it, and tried as you suggest. There is no message; it shows on the lower toolbar as running (dot beneath it) but nothing happens (never shows on screen).

David ..

I’ve seen that happen with other apps occasionally. But to be honest, I have no clue what causes it (permissions glitch, maybe?) Have you tried rebooting the Mac? Probably won’t help, but is sometimes the universal cure-all — like hitting a radio on the side when it quits working :-)

David, are you seeing the KX2 menu at the top of the screen when you try to start the app?

Not before, but after restart I do; then going to window, zoom on that bar, it is visible.

Big thanks for getting me stuck!
