Problem launching Logos 5 after transferring to new Mac

I have a newish Mac with an SSD for the system drive, and with my User folder on a larger HDD. After transferring my data to the new system, I tried launching Logos 5 for Mac (5.1.0.943). The icon on the dock bounced for several minutes, and then got tired of bouncing. Eventually it terminated saying it timed out. I deleted the Logos folders in ~/Library/Application Support and downloaded the app from Logos. The new app also hangs. After failing to launch, no Logos directories are seen in the Application Support directory.

What else do I need to try?

Thanks,

I don't think you can run Logos using an external drive unless it is your boot drive.

Did you do something like this:

I have an admin account on the SSD so I can log in if something bad happens to my data drive and I need to change to a hot spare. The apps directory and the system software are on the SSD. According to what I've read, all calls to anything under the user's directory go thru the kernel where they are sent to the right location.

I tried your link, but it didn't work.

I tried your link, but it didn't work.

I fixed it. An "l" got left off of .html [:)]

We'll need a techie to advise, but I think your set up is causing Logos trouble.

Yes, that's exactly the setup I have. When I migrated my account, I had an external disk with the same name as on the other system. The external drive has a TLD of /Users, with my account just below. It's the same thing that happens when your home directory is kept on a server and linked into the root drive. On my system drive, there are two user subdirectories: Shared and administrator.

This morning I spoke with Anton in Tech Support. We determined it was a permissions problem, which we fixed, and I'm downloading my resources again as I write this.

God is good.
