If you’d rather not use AppCleaner, you can manually delete the files shown in the above screenshot, using Finder or Terminal. Then reinstall Moom and authorize it again, and hopefully it’ll be working-we’ve had three users report success with this app so far. Once that’s set, click Delete to remove all traces of Moom (and its caches, which may be where the problem resides). This way, you’ll save all your custom settings, and delete only the app and related support files. You’ll see a list of Moom-related files do not click Delete yet! Instead, uncheck the box next to the ist file, as shown here:

Install it, launch it, then drag the actual Moom application onto it.

If Moom still doesn’t work, the next step is to try this tiny free app called AppCleaner. Launch Moom and follow the instructions to authorize it it should work. (You will not lose your custom settings.) Note: Make sure you delete all copies of the Moom application before reinstalling. Then reinstall Moom from our site or the App Store, based on where you bought it originally. You won’t see any output, but relaunch Moom and see if you can now enable and use Moom.ĭelete Moom completely (just the app), then reboot (not just logout/login, but reboot) your Mac. Quit Moom, open Terminal, paste this command, then press Return: However, if you’ve enabled it as described above, and it’s still not working for you (or if you can’t enable the Accessibility flag), please try these fixes, in this order: We’ve not had any issues with Moom not working in our testing. Once this is set, Moom’s pop-up panel should appear when you hover over the green button, and all functions should work as usual.

To make Moom work, you need to click the lock icon at the bottom of the window, and then enter your administrator’s password when prompted:Īfter entering your password, the Privacy panel will be unlocked, and you can check the box next to Moom once the Moom entry looks like this, you’re done: Make sure you see Moom listed in the right side of the window it will probably be grayed out and won’t have a checkmark in the box next to its name. At this point, you should see this on your screen (click for full-size view): After clicking the button, Mavericks will launch System Preferences, switch to the Security & Privacy pane, and then activate the Privacy tab. Upon first launch of Moom in Mavericks, you’ll see this dialog:Ĭlick the Open System Preferences button note that this is not the default, so you can’t just press Return/Enter. (Older versions are compatible with Mavericks, but display misleading messages on launch.) If you’d like a more-detailed walkthrough on getting Moom to work in Mavericks, keep reading…aįirst, make sure you’ve downloaded Moom 3.1 from either our site or the App Store.

(If, for some reason, it doesn’t work, please check the end of this blog entry for some troubleshooting tips.) Once you’ve done that, Moom should work fine. Here’s the expert version: After installing Moom 3.1, visit the Privacy tab of the Security & Privacy System Preferences panel, and place a check in the box next to Moom’s entry in the window. Enabling this feature isn’t much harder than it was before, but it is different. Moom is fully compatible with Mavericks, but Apple has changed how users enable the OS X feature (access for assistive devices) that Moom (and some of our other apps) uses to get things done.
