[GNC] gnucash won't start on Mac

[Geoff Jankowski]

I see Colin has given you instructions on how to allow gnucash on your Mac.  You may find it no longer shows in your preferences so start again!

Shut gnucash. Open preferences. Put preferences where you can find it and then open gnucash. 

When it tells you it is restricted, go to preferences as Colin explained and there should be a message about gnucash. Accept it and it should open.  

If you have more problems, let us know. 

BTW, gnucash does not “install” to the Applications folder.  You need to drag it from the mounted gnucash folder to your applications folder manually. You can then drag the icon from the applications folder to the dock for easier access. Good luck.
