Hi Ruth - and welcome to the forums
Sorry to hear you are having problems.
Please enable diagnostic logging and post the logs in a reply to this thread after a failed startup attempt
Details are at https://www.logos.com/support/logos6/mac/report-problem

That enabled us to see it.
But it looks as though logging isn't actually enabled. Did you follow steps 1 & 2 in the link I provided above?

any better
Sorry - its still the same.
Are any Logos programs running in the background? If so, can you stop them? This from the article
Note: The Logging Utility will not record correctly if Logos is running in the background when you enable logging. You may need to open the Finder: Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor and manually quit the Logos porcesses (Logos Bible Software, LogosIndexer and LogosCEF if present).
Apart from that we will need to wait for another Mac user to try and work out why the logging isn't working (I don't use a Mac)

Looked at the Console Log you posted. I am far from being an expert at log reading, but I do see an error message for the Logging Utility. Unless someone with vast knowledge of such things (Dave Hooton) intervenes, I would try reinstalling the Logging Utility. See the Mac Logs link in my signature.

Hi Jack,
Thanks for your advice to be honest I do not understand the logging utility I was wondering if the easiest way to resolve the problem is to delete logos and reinstall. It is working fine on my laptop iPad and phone its just my desk top that is having the problem. Would i lose anything if i did this.
Thanks
Ruth

If the problem is a bug in an OLD version of the software, deleting the app and reinstalling the newest version would solve the problem. Although this kind of problem is rare, there have been a few hit with this recently. When users have troubles the fix is rarely a reinstall of the software, but in the case of the bug from last month it is the answer.

There are two parts to the software. The engine app is in your applications folder. You will need to delete it, download the newest engine (see link in my signature line) and run the installer. The second part of the software is the downloaded resources, notes, database files, etc. Those are stored elsewhere, so deleting the engine won't delete them.

If the issue isn't the software bug, but the more common problem of a corrupted index, deleting the app will have no effect and you would need to provide logs. If all else fails, you will need to call customer service during business hours.

For clarification: "Logos 6" is an application which runs on desktop (or laptop) computers. The application you run on your iPad and iPhone is NOT "Logos 6" and is completely different software.
