      Hello,

      Just downloaded and put into my apps but I cannot open it ! When I click, nothing happens and I cannot get to the Prefs.
      Tried to discard it so as to start all over again but the Imac says the soft is active and cannot be discarded !!! So I'm stuck !
      What should I do ?
      Thanks and regards.

      Imac Sierra 10.12.3 27" 5K end 2014

        Hello jean pierre, have you got a f.lux icon in your system tray? (look just to the left of your system clock). More info here: https://justgetflux.com/news/pages/macquickstart/

          I am having the same problem. The solution that was given doesn't work. I don't have a f.lux icon, or anything like it showing up. I need to cool down the colors — they are way too blinding.

            @Sagebrush-Dan If you open Activity Monitor do you see Flux running? if you restart does it change anything?

              same issues. running sierra. downloaded / trashed current and old versions of flux multiple times, no activity monitor reading, no menu bar icon, nothing.

              sadly, apple's nightshift works just fine.

                    @matthcurtis Can you tell me if "Flux" is running in Activity Monitor? Did it ever work for you previously? And love to know more about your hardware.

                      @lorna Flux has previously showed up under the "Energy" tab in activity monitor, but has been greyed out with strikethroughs in all of categories except one (can't remember which one). It is not currently showing anywhere in activity monitor.

                      Have been using flux successfully for a couple of years now. Have had a few of the more normal bugs, like the video artifacts, but have never had it just not open.

                        Can you open the Console app and search for "Flux"?

                          @herf yup. getting, among other lines, this:

                          *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSCFArray componentsSeparatedByString:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x6000000d32b0'

                            Ok I posted a possible fix here:
                            https://justgetflux.com/mac/Flux39.983.zip

                            This bug should not have appeared unless you first installed f.lux once using a really old version, like from 2010.

                            Thanks @matthcurtis for the help.

                                Hi there!

                                I have the same problem. I installed the programme and the icon shows up. I could set up my personal information (location) and wake up time. Now the programme is running as it should.
                                BUT I can not open the programme any more. If I double klick it nothing happens.

                                If anyone could help I would be pleased but, please, in the most simplest words possible (a) I normally speak Swiss, and b) I am not so into technical language)
                                Thanks!

                                Nicole

                                  @La_Nicci Can you see which version you have? Spotlight will tell you or you can do Cmd-I on Flux.app.

                                    I do not know if that is what you mean. It says version 39.983.

                                      Oh, if the icon appears you can access f.lux by clicking the icon, no need to run the app again:

                                        That is the very problem. If I click on the icon nothing happens.

                                          @La_Nicci can you post a screenshot of what you're clicking? I want to make sure we are talking about the same thing.

                                            @lorna I think it is not my lucky day. Now I can't copy the pic form my notebook in the post. C&P does not work, just url allowed.
