Using Logos 4 normally and regularly with no problems until one day try to open Logos 4 for Mac and began experiencing problems.

Logos begins to start, I hear the music as it's loading, and then it crashes before even having a chance to use the program.

    Hi Ken - and welcome to the forums

    Sorry to hear you are having problems.

    I've had a look at the log and I can't identify a quick fix.

    But Logos 4 is very old and no longer supported.

    Are you aware you can upgrade to the Logos 6 core engine for free? I would suggest you try that and see whether the problem persists after that.

    It is available at https://www.logos.com/product/46767/logos-6-core-engine

    Thanks, Graham.  I've been very satisfied with Logos 4.  I'm in the middle of a project and I don't really have the time or desire to learn how to navigate a new version.  Is there any way to just reload Logos 4?

    I'm not familiar with this crash, but it mentions the Help panel.

    Try opening to a blank layout and avoid opening the Help panel. (Any existing layouts that include the Help panel will need to be recreated.)

    However, I would also recommend updating to Logos 6. It's not that different from Logos 4, so it shouldn't require a lot of time to learn it.

    OK, I just went ahead and updated to Logos 6, downloaded and indexed everything, and things seem fine so far.  You're right, Bradley.  At least initially the layout of Logos 6 seems very similar to that of Logos 4. 

    Eventually, I'll want to get rid of the Logos 4 program that repeatedly crashes.  I'm guessing I just delete it from the applications menu and that takes care of everything, right?  Or is there another folder associated with Logos 4 hiding somewhere that I need to get rid of as well?

    Thanks

    The Logos 4 program can be removed from your /Applications folder. Logos 6 uses the same data folders as Logos 4 so you will no longer be able to use Logos 4 after running Logos 6.
