Unable to install on Max OS 10.10.5

[ccrider27]

I downloaded the dmg file for Mac, double clicked it, it expanded correctly. Then I drug the LO icon to my applications folder. So far so good.

But when I try open the application by either double-clicking the icon or do a cntl-click, Open, a small window pops up with the message "Verifying “LibreOffice”…, a blue progress bar fills from left to right and then when full, just hangs there. If I close the small pop up window, the application seems to stop running.

I read the ReadMe file that came with the download, but it does not speak to this issue.

I tried to visit http://www.libreoffice.org/faq/, but that comes back with a “File Not Found” page.

I checked out the Installation Instructions for Mac OS 10, and followed those steps. I’m not sure if I need a language file or not and if so where to find it.

I’m sure it’s something I’m doing wrong, but can’t figure out what it is.

LibreOffice 5.1.3 stuck on "verifying" Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.5

I am not able to start LibreOffice 5.1.3 on a MacBook Pro (mid 2012) with OSX Yosemite 10.10.5. When the Verifying “LibreOffice” progress bar gets to the end, CoreServicesUIAgent jumps to 100% cpu and stays there until I force quit it. I have tried leaving it in this state for several minutes, but nothing seems to change. Thanks, Tony

You seem to have done everything correctly.

It’s just possible that your download got corrupted. I suggest you trash the current .dmg file and the LO in your applications folder and start again with another download.

But before you do I would make sure all your file permissions - mine regularly go walkabout - and your disc is OK . when ‘strange’ things start happening I run the disk utility first aid - it often fixes things. Alternatively if you haven’t got it I can reccommend the free housekeeping utility OnyX

You don’t need a language files for UK/English or USA/English.

Just to reassure you I’ve been using LO building this database application on a Mac through various OSX versions for the last year and until El Captain (OSX10.11.*) have not had any problems.
