How to avoid this problem in the future: After Prism Mac crashes, start it up without deleting, moving or renaming any files. Learn how to make these files and folders visible. If you use OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, the Library folder is hidden by default. The presence of several Library folders is potentially confusing, so make sure you are looking in the right one - the one within a particular User's library folder. Library/Application Support/GraphPad/Prism/6 Users\\/Library/Application Support/GraphPad/Prism/6/Prism Backupsĭon't confuse it with a similarly named path, which won't contain a Prism Backups folder. Note that the squiggle in front of that path tells you to look within the user's folder. Then empty the trash just to make sure it is gone. Delete the whole folder, not just the files within. ~/Library/Application Support/GraphPad/Prism/6/Prism Backupsĭon't just delete the files in that folder, delete (trash) the entire folder. If it is not checked, you will need to log in as Administrator. Make sure that the check box "allow user to administer this computer" is checked (in the accounts panel).

Open system Preferences from the Apple menu. The first time Prism runs, you must be logged with admin rights. For example, some people (but not all) say that Prism 5 is almost useless under El Capitan. When apple releases new versions of OS X, they sometimes make changes that prevent old versions of Prism from running. OTHER SIMPLE FIXES THAT MAY SOLVE THE PROBLEM Make sure you are not running an old version of Prism with a new version of OS X
