Kstars 3.6.9 was created by Thomas Rinaldi

I just downloaded version 3.6.9 of Kstars and tried to run it. It crashed on my Macbook Pro with Ventura 13.6.4. I would appreciate any help you can give me to rectify this problem.

Same here. Upgrading to Sonoma solves the problem. A bit weird that kstars is the app that is most demanding with my keeping things up to date, but it is what it is.

Thanks, but unfortunately I have a mid 2017 MacBook Pro. According to the MacOS compatibility chart, my Mac is not compatible.

Not sure it will help but Apple released 13.6.5 a few days ago - maybe they fixed something there that will help? Here's a link to their support for some of the fixes in that release: support.apple.com/en-us/HT214085.

Thomas,

Other people here have used this to upgrade 2012 systems dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/


See here www.indilib.org/forum/ekos/14244-kstars-....html?start=48#99102

sorry, I have the same problem. On my Imac 2017 with the latest possible OS Ventura 13.6.5 kstars crashes immediately, on my macbook 2023 it runs flawlessly.

Tried the Open-Core legacy Patcher and upgraded to Sonoma on my 2012 Macbook Pro. Downloaded and tried to install Kstar 3.7.0 and all I get is the file is corrupted. Has anyone else had this problem?

The webpage for KStars states that the latest KStars works with Mac OS 10.15 or higher.
"KStars 3.7.0 Installer for macOS 10.15+

I just tried it with Mac OS 12.6 and it's. NO GO. It crashes immediately like others here.

This is a 100% show stopper for many (of not most) Mac users.

Please change the web page to reflect the actual requirements.

Patching older Macs isn't a great option either - as it breaks Pixinsight. Several modules and scripts in PixInsight no longer work correctly with a patched Mac.

This is a show stopper for me. I will have to use my Windows Laptop. I hate to have to do this but I have no choice if I want all the newest features.

I was running my whole observatory with KStars and was constantly advertising KStars online in many forums. But this latest upgrade is a complete show stopper for me now. Looks like I’ll have to completely change the way I was running the observatory and may just bite the poison pill and go with NINA.

Unfortunately I have the same problem again, starting kstars 3,70 on my Imac with OS 13.6.6 crashes immediately. As there is no real option to upgrade to sonoma and I don not want to buy a new Imac.. I have no idea.
