> Hello, > > Today I downloaded the IDV application as part of a class I am taking. It > worked just fine when I first downloaded IDV onto my computer (MacBook Pro, > 2020, macOS Sonoma 14.1.1). I installed the required plug-ins and then > restarted the application for the plug-ins to work. However, when I tried to > relaunch the application, it froze right when it opened and would not load > for more than an hour. My professor was not able to help resolve this issue > and apparently, he had the same issue when he ran the application this > morning. I looked online for a troubleshooting page for IDV and found the > following webpage: > https://docs.unidata.ucar.edu/idv/current/userguide/Bugs.html. This webpage > says, “If you have Parallels Access running on your OS X computer, you may > see the IDV freeze up upon start up. The workaround is to turn off Parallels > Access.” I do not have Parallels Access on my MacBook, therefore I should not > be having this issue. I also uninstalled the application and rein stalled it but to no avail. Is there anything else I can try to make the program work on my laptop? It is required to complete class assignments. > > Thank you, > Anamaria Navarrete > Hi Anamaria, Could you try to remove the folder ".unidata" and try to launch the IDV again?The ".unidata" folder is a hidden folder and it is under your home directory.
